Court Accepts Paternity Test
NEW YORK, July 21 (U. P)~— An RH blood factor test has been accepted by a Kings county domestic relations court justice as proof of parenthood, it was reported today. Justice Jacob Panken, in a decision handed down Friday, ruled that a 24-year-old man who married a 18-year-old girl four years ago—when the girl was several months pregnant—could not be the father of her child. The decision was made after the RH test definitely showed the man in question could not have fathered the child. Testimony to that effect was made By Dr. Alexander H. Wiener, a pioneer in RH research. Names of the parents involved were withheld by the court. That RH—a blood characteristic that frequently causes -babies to be stillborn——could positively establish the parenthood of a child has been accepted in the medical profession for some time.- But this was the first time it had been accepted by a court.
