Suspicion. dislike Of responsible

Russia is choking, Orjanikidse said.
In four years since 1923 the NUN

has jumped up from $4,000 to 1885,
600 and throughout the Soviet un-

this added payroll eats up the saw

He also revealed that, in spite of
state monopolies over every phase
OF life, fierce competition between
the state organizations continues,

and duplication of effort.
We have too many banks he
said. "Finance is monopoly of

COURT TOF|X FEES
OF GOULDLAWYERS
Decision Wednesday to De-
eide What They Will Get for
10-Year Battle.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 1.-THE ques'
ton of how much the heirs OF Jay
Gould'S So 900 900 estate VIII pay
the SIS attorneys that waSed for them
the 1O-year war over their progenitor' S
wealth will not be answered until next
Wednesday. it was decided yesterday.
The fees are estimated up to So 100000.
Several days ago the attorneys
brought to an amicable termination
the battle of the heirs. agreeing by
stipulation that the $50 900, 900 ac-
counting suit against the trustees be
ended by a restoration of approx
mately $4,000. 900 to the six trust
estates involved. Four accounting
trustees were to pay that sum.
Yesterday the attorneys met before
former Senator James A. O'Gorman,
referee, to determine the amount of
their fees and other allowances.
One group of attorneys. headed by
former Court of Appeals Judge Samuel
Seabury, wanted the referee to render
a decision on the compromise agree
ment that restored $40. 900 to the
estate prior to fixing of counsel fees.
Headed by former Appellate Division
Justice Frank G. LAughlin, the ma
iority of attorneys asked a finding of
allowances to be made prior to the
3ocis;on on the compromise agreement.
Referee O'Gorman adjourned the
meeting until next Wednesday. saying
he would have to report his findings TO
the Supreme Court, which would wish
to know how much the minor heirs
would be called upon to pay as coun-
sci fees. He said it was likely that
evidence would be asked in regard to
counsel fees.

ZIHLMAN SHELVES BILL
FOR D. C. FISCAL STUDY
Strong Local Opposition to First
Provision Is Blamed by Author
for Abandonment.

The Zihlman bill, proposing care
ful study of all of the equities and OBJ
legations involved in the establishment
of a fiscal policy between the Federal
and District governments. which, 1t
was expected. would be the first inn
portant District measure to come up
IN the House this session, has been
abandoned by its sponsor.
Chairman Zihlman of the House
District committee definitely an
nounced last night that he does not
now propose to press this measure.
This decision is based on the fact that
there is strong local opposition to the
first provision in the measure. for
adopting the 50 900, 900 lump-sum pol
lily for a two-year period while the in
vestigation is being made. This is OPP
posed on the ground that the present
substantive law provides for a fixed
proportion policy as between the Fed
eral and District governments, with
the $4,000 600 humps UNI now in oper-
alton accepted merely as an expert
ment as a legislative rider on an ap-
Precipitation bill agreed to in an emer-
gency.
Representative Zihlman said that
he realizes that there would be a very
bitter fight in the House. when this
measure came up for consideration.
