STINNES ESTATE
 IS 'RED' TARGET

BERLIN, August 31.-Assertion that the late Hugo Stinnes used his influence in German politics for per sonaI gain is made by the Socialist party, which recently introduced the draft of an amendment to the taxation law of 1922. The act, some times called the Stinnes law, prohibited the state from levying inheritance taxes in cases where the entire estate is bequeathed to the widow.
 The Socialist party is eager to change the law and by including retroactive provision in the amendment enable the reich to benefit from the essate of it's wealthiest citizen, Shines lsft all his property to his wife.

 had not mentioned the subject to
 Golden, since the family had promised
 Mrs. Golden that they would say
