Shaw, former mayor of Los Angeles, yes terday laid claim to some $300,000 on the ground that his marriage to his onetime secretary, Mrs.

Dortha Sheehan Shaw, 28, was not valid. The contention was raised in Superior Court by the pe titioners, including Shaw's brother and former executive secretary, Joseph E. Shaw, in a suit to set aside transfers of extensive prop erty he made her shortly aft er their marriage in Tijuana, Feb. 2, 1953. The marriage took place when he was 76 and she 22.

The former mayor died at the age of 80 Jan. 24, 1958. Others in Suit' Joining with Joseph Shaw in the suit were three nieces and a nephew, Mrs. Frances Shaw Lawrence, Mrs. Loret-ta Shaw Johnson, Mrs.

Mar garet Baker and Joseph Doran. At the time of the mar riage, the complaint charged, Mrs. Shaw was not legally free because a decree of divorce she. obtained in Juarez, a few days earlier from her first husband, Walter S. Dryden, now 36, was not valid.

She and Dryden were married July 16, 1949, the suit said.

In Inducing the former city executive to marry her, the suit further asserted, she led him to believe that she loved him and would be a faithful wife. These representations, the suing heirs charged, were not true and were made with a secret intention on the part of Mrs, Shaw to place herseit in a position of trust so that she could obtain his property.

Comic Dictionary MASCULINITY The trait that keeps a I man from ever admitting that he's a physical wreck, except in a law I tuit for damages. ft Coevrlsht, by EvM Esaip Bride Forgets License; Groom Late to Wedding i Christian A. Herter tQ note that he ig not exactly a green pea at this sort of stuff. As a matter of cold fact not too many of our secretaries of state, going back through Acheson, Marshall, Byrnes, and on for years and years, were nearly as'xperienced as Herter when they took over our top diplomatic office.

Born abroad, the son of Ameri- jean parents who were studying art in Paris, he had a' natural interest iri foreign affairs. This he has retained despite the fact that his most notable activity has been in this country, first as a congressman and then as governor of his home state of Massachusetts. I A Busy Executive There have been a lot of wisecracks to the effect that Herter had the bad luck to be the "second man a johe-man State Department," a snide reference to the globetrotting of John Foster Dulles. What has been demonstrated by Dulles' illness is, of course, that he has a remarkably well organized department which has carried on as effectively as the White House did during the various absences of President Eisenhower. And the chief executive officer of this smoothly func- tioning department has been Gov.

Herter. As to just how effective Herter might be as an across-the-table negotiator, the role filled so ably by Secretary Dulles, It is quite possible that nobody may ever know. A good many people who know him well believe that Herter not only is a fine organizer and initiator of new approaches to diplomacy but that, if called 'upon, he would be an able exponent and defender of our ideas. Man of Experience Herter came home after primary education in France and graduated from Harvard with honors. He then went to Columbia to study architecture but, on returning to Harvard for his class reunion, fell easy prey to stories of diplomatic life and joined the Foreign Service.

At the age of 22 he was acting minister to Belgium, due to illness of his superiors which left the job in his lap. He was in Germany by the time we were in World War I and narrowly escaped being shot. He was too tall and skinny for the Army but served in numerous diplomatic capacities and was an aide to Herbert Hoover in his relief work. his World War II service in the Congress he 1 was very active in international affairs and after the war headed an important congressional investigation of European affairs. One of his fellow congressmen on the journey was Richard Nixon and it was on their visit to NATO headquarters that Herter conceived the idea of trying to run Eisenhower for President and, at the same time, Eisenhower was so impressed with Nixon as to put his name at the top of the list of vice-presidential candidates in 1952.

You'll find Herter is held in high regard by State Department career men. Sure, and Monday morn ing is a fine time to get mar ried, Cynthia Conroy, 21, red-haired Irish beauty, de cided yesterday as she and actor Henry Silva, 32, ex changed vows before Su perior Judge Elmer D. Doyle. The bride, who was Miss Canada in last year's Miss Universe Pageant, had planned that the wedding would be today March 17 St. Patricks Day so they would never forget their an niversary.

March 16 is the anniver sary date now. Cindy's mem ory may need jogging on this point, however, for yes terday when she appeared all bridey in a white-batiste gown and short tulle veil, she had forgotten something important. The bridegroom was -15 minutes late and that was a 15-minute worry. But he ap EXCHANGE VOWS The bridegroom was 15 minutes late (delayed by traffic) and the bride forgot to bring the license, but Superior Judge Elmer D.
