Dennis Crosby Named In Paternity Suit HOLLYWOOD (UPD — Dennis Crosby, 24. one of crooner Bing Crosby’s four grown sons, waited to be subpenaed today as defendant ,in a paternity suit naming him the father of 17-month-old Denise Michelle Scott. "I've never admitted it and I never will,” the now-married disk jockey said when asked about fatherhood of the girl. “I haven’t received any papers yet so I can’t say more than that” Marilyn Scott, 26, the mother of the illegitimate child, filed the paternity suit Wednesday in Superior Court seeking $460.25 monthly support payments and legal recognition of her daughter as Dennis’ child. ”1 want Denise to be entitled to what all the Crosbys will have in the future," said the attractive brunette. “There’s no question in my mind that Dennis is the father.” Send Her Support Miss Scott named Dennis the child’s father in hospital records when the baby was born Nov. 24, 1867. “So far,” she said, "the Crosbys haven’t admitted a thing, but their attorneys send me S3OO a month to support her. “Everyone says she looks exactly like her father and grandfather, Bing. She doesn’t even have much hair. Neither does her father.” Superior Judge Roger Alton Pfaff set a hearing on the matter for April 20 after Miss Scott’s atr torney, Milton Zerin, said the “child, by not being adjudicated as the daughter of Dennis Crosby, might lose certain inheritances and valuable rights.” Miss Scott also sought in addition to the increased child sup-

I port payments, “other relief the court may deem just” and the cost of the suit to be paid by • Crosby. She said she met Dennis—who is now married to Las Vegas, Nev., showgirl Pat Sheehan, by jvhom he has fathered one son and whose 7-year-old son by a previous marriage he has addpted —in January, 1957. and had only three dates with him. “We all took blood tests right after Denise was born,” she said, “but I still don’t know the results. I guess the family believes Dennis is the father or they Wouldn’t 4 be sending me S3OO a month. Miss Scott, a former telephone operator, complained that as a ’ result of all the publicity attend- ' Ing her affair with Dennis she ’ has been unable to find work and ’ has been forced to live in a oneroom apartment off Vine Street. “Dennis has never denied being the father of my child,” she 1 said. “The only reason I’m going ! to court Ls to protect Denise in the years to come. I think the 1 Crosby family should accept her as one of them.”
