Newsman John Daly's Way of Living Suits His Heart of New York Address
By Vernon Scott
UPI Hollywood Correspondent
NEW YORK—(UPI)—John Daly, debonair interlocutor of the ancient "What's My Line" panel show, is so downright urbane he'd be out of place anywhere but in the heart of New York City.
Happily, that's precisely where he lives.
His address is fashionable Gracie Square, right on the East River and a stone's throw from Mayor Wagner's mansion.
Living on the river has proved a mixed blessing to the sophisticated Daly. Sand and gravel barges and 20,000-ton oil tankers ply by the windows of his duplex, creating exciting images during the day. But at night when they blast their bullhorns going through Hell Gate he jumps six feet, straight up.
DALY AND his wife, Virginia — daughter of Chief Justice Earl Warren — have lived in the 11-room, 4-bath house for almost a year.
The premises are shared by a pair of Daly toddlers, John Warren, $17\frac{1}{2}$ months, and Jamie, 7 months. They are taken almost daily to a park that surrounds the Mayor's mansion for
fresh air and sunshine—and, doubtless, to escape the bullhorns.
The house itself is one of New York's ancients. In addition to the bedrooms, dining room, kitchen and other standard rooms, Daly has a paneled den-office crowded with books and memorabilia. Because he does much of his writing and correspondence at home, Daly spends a great deal of time in this room.
An inspection of his books reveals a strong preference for biography and history.
DALY'S TELEVISION activities are limited to CBS-TV's "What's My Line," a relaxing schedule compared to the old days when he also headed ABC-TV's news department and did a daily Daly news display.
Still, he has an office. It's located in the Plaza Hotel, more than 30 long blocks from his home. But Daly, who gets little exercise, tries to walk it as often as possible. It takes him about 40 minutes, which is a fast pace even for New York walkers.
Daly's penchant for shanks mare transport makes his ownership of a 1957 Lincoln sedan a luxury.
"It its in the garage most of the time," he admits with that famed
grin. "I have no business owning a car, but I haven't the heart to get rid of it."
Because he believes it's unfair to keep a dog in the city the Dalys do not have any pets.
THEIR BUSTLING household is managed by a housekeeper-cook and a nurse for the babies. Daly says Virginia is an excellent cook who prepares occasional meals with her husband's trick stomach in mind. He prefers plain food and has a real leaning to calves' liver and bacon.
"We go out too often to official functions where the food is not too good," he says. "When we dine out we like Toots Shor's steaks and chicken pot pie."
Daly continues to consider himself a newsman; therefore most of his friends are in the news business. Few are show business personalities, saving, of course, panelists Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and Dorothy Kilgallen, who have become fast friends in the 15 years they've been on the air together.
When entertaining at home—about once a month—the Dalys pile things up and throw a wingding buffet for 35 or 40 acquaintances.
