Court of Missing Heirs is the stoutly guarded radio feature of James F. Waters, a onetime Chicago lawyer, and Alfred E. Shebel, onetime ad agency man. They worked it out in 1935, peddled it for two years until Skelly Oil bought it in 1937. They went off the air in 1938 until CBS put it back on for Ironized Yeast last month. They have a field staff of five, digging up romantic and poignant cases. Neither has made a will...
