Heirdom

The Are You a Missing Heir? program (sponsored by Ironized Yeast and created by Lawyer James Waters and Adman Alfred Shebel), which for nearly two years has been dramatizing each week over CBS true tales of estranged souls whose deaths --and estates--were unknown to their presumptive heirs, last week turned up its luckiest missing heir so far: a quiet, 40-year-old, much-buffeted Chicagoan named Rawlins Phillips. His inheritance: $85,000.

Rawlins' mother took her son and left his father when the boy was two because Father Phillips, a dining-car steward on the Santa Fe, would not give up railroading. Father Phillips dropped dead in Kansas City last May. He had invested his earnings to good purpose. Fortnight ago his story was broadcast. Son Phillips and his wife had heard all but one of the Missing Heir programs. That evening they were--for the second time in two years--not listening. But friends told them about it. Last week they claimed their estate.
