2 SHIPYARD WORKERS
TOLD TO PAY WIVES
Two New York Shipyard employes were each ordered to pay their wives $7 weekly for support by Judge Frank Katzenbach yesterday in Criminal court.
Edwin F. Duffy, Federal street, near Second, was given the order following testimony from his wife, Elizabeth, of 692 Woodland avenue, who said he deserted her last October.
The other order was placed on Emerson Townsend, whose wife, Lena, of 2870 Kansas road, charged he would leave her for six months at a time. She charged he has not supported her or their 10-year-old son since 1937.
