Walters, who opened his first nightclub the original Latin Quarter in Boston in 1937, later expanded his operation to include Latin Quarters in Miami and the well-known nightspot to Manhattan. He also produced shows for clubs in Puerto Rico, Miami, Las Vegas and other areas.

The New York club was earning some $3 million a year in its heyday in the mid 50s, when it featured such stars as Mae West, Jackie Gleason, Louis Armstrong and Sophie Tucker and lines of leggy showgirls. It closed in 1969. He operated his New York club with theater owner E.M. Loew until 1958 when the two long-time business associates split in a personal dispute. Walters then opened his own Broadway club, the Cafe de Paris, which he closed in 1966 after filing for bankruptcy.

Loew and Walters began working together again and the association continued until 1969 when the New York Latin Quarter closed and Walters retired and moved to Miami. A native of London, Walters came to New York at the age of 17 and began working at a talent agent.

David Allen Egan, 42, of Secane, pleaded guilty Monday before U.S. District Judge Edward N.

Cahn to conspiracy in a three-count New Jersey indictment and to possession of stolen mail to a five-count indictment handed down here. Gilbert J. Scutti, chief attorney of the U.S. Criminal Section here, said Egan also agreed to testify as a government witness against the other defendants to the case. In return, Scutti said, the government will recommend that Egan be sentenced to no more than five years in prison on the Pennsylvania counts.

In New Jersey, the recommended sentence would not exceed five years and would run concurrent with the Pennsylvania sentence, he said. Atlantic City Postmaster Gordon F. Lawson, 37, of Wyndmoor, also was named in the indictments. The other defendants are Owen Leroy Gallagher, 39, of Wrightstown, N.J.; James Harvey Parsells, 46, of Somers Point, N.J.; and Kenneth J. Perry, 36, of Eddington, who has pleaded guilty to New Jersey to conspiracy.

Scutti told the court that the government would move for dismissal of the remaining indictments against Egan at sentencing and that the indictment here against the remaining defendants would be dismissed in favor of prosecution in New Jersey. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Kurzweil of New Jersey said trials would begin Oct. 3 fa Newark. He said he plans to try Lawson separately from Gallagher and Parsells.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Fewer Americans used the government food stamp program to June than at any other time in almost three years, but we of the program may increase next year if it overhauled expected. Agriculture Department officials Monday reported June stamp enrollment fell to 16.3 million, down 400,000 from a month earlier. It was the lowest number of recipients since November, 1974. Officials said the June decline was a normal, seasonal downturn for a month to which employment usually rises. But the sharp decline from last winter and a year ago reflected more basic improvements to national unemployment rates, they said.

Agriculture officials said the 16.3 million people who get stamp aid to pay grocery bills in June received nearly $399 million to free bonus stamps and purchased another $263 million worth of The June figure was down by 2.1 million people from a winter peak in Feburary when enrollment was artificially inflated by severe weather and factory shutdowns. It was down 1.7 million from a year earlier and was 3 million below the record enrollment level of April, 197S. Stamp enrollment totals may jump again next year if Congress enacts and President Carter signs an omnibus farm and food stamp bill which includes changes in the food stamp program. Congress is expected to complete action on the measure to September. The stamp allotments, under present regulations, are designed to give each participant enough food coupons to buy a nutritionally adequate diet based on a "Thrifty Food Plan" designed by Agriculture home economists.
