MELONS TRUST

Nearly 200 Millions Expected

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, August 30.-Andrev
w. Melons millions, all to be spent
in promotion OF mankind's well doine
or we'll being" will 60 into trust
whose size may exceed that OF thu
famed Rockefeller Foundation.
Disclosure of the surprising bequest
came few hours after the 82-year.
old flnancier's frail body had beer
placed Saturday in vault beside thai
Of his beloved brother, Richard B.
who had helped him amass one o.
the worlds greatest fortunes.

ney, said that with the exception o.
$l80, 900 to 60 to personal employees
Melons will directed the remainder
60 to the A. w. Mellon Educationa
and Charitable Trust.
This organization was established
in 1880 by the thrice Secretary of the
Treasury to properly administer anc
distribute the considerable funds anc
properties which I contemplate de.
voting, from time to time, to public
religious and charitable uses and pur.
poses"
Estate May Be zoo Million.
Close associates OF the flnanciel
said his estate will range between l0C
and 200 millions, with the likelihood
that the latter figure will be nearer
correct. John D. Rockefeller gave
the Rockefeller Foundation more than
$3.50 100000 in addition to $l30,000,-
600 which he had placed in an edu-
cational board established in 1908.
The trust already had received
more than 330,000,O00 in securitie,
and paintings. The paintings, valued
by art experts at about $50,000, 900
have been given to the Government
for a national art museum, which the
trust also is building at cost OF
more than 100000.
Shepard said Mellon explained II
his will that no bequests were mad,
to his children, Paul and Ailsa tMrs
David K. E. Bruce because they hae
been adequately provided for during
his lifetime.
Mellon is known to have given then
or holding company in which the!
own all OF the common stock, securi
ties whose value now would excees
100000, 900.
Question Of Taxability.
The question OF the taxability o
the Mellon estate by the Federal Gov
ernment will undergo further scrutin,
by Bureau Of Internal Revenue ex
perts. Treasury officials at Washing
ton said the estate would be ia.
exempt If it went to charity, but tina
it was customary to examine philan
thropic beQuests with extreme care
before granting exemptions.
The bureau has ruled in effect tina
donations to the Mellon Trust are no
exempt from taxes-a ruling made II
connection with Melons 1891 incom
which the flnancier appealed and /
now under consideration by the Ia:
Appeal Board.
A recently enacted State law make
the gift subject to 10 per cent tax
The Federal inheritance tax would b.
much higher. Washington experts sait
normal Federal and State inheritanc,
taxes together would amount to $67,
100000 il the estate were worth
sl00,00o,000.

School,
Lands Is q Felix Frankfurter find.
He has been an important New Dealer
since March, 1888. He never rose to
the status Of q brain truster because
he lacked 4 B. T.'s hamboyance, but
he became successively Federal Trade
commissioner, Securities and Exchange
commissioner and chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The titles of these jobs, however,
are but hints Of the scope OF Lands
duties. Lands was professor Of legis-
lation at Harvard before he came to
Washington. He is technical expert
on law-writing and law-making and
an authority on holes in the Consti-
tuition. As corporations retain counsel
to find weak points in tax laws, the
President likes to have Lands on hand
to advise his first line OF bill drafters
on where the basic law leaves open
the way for the New Deal legislative
program.
The background Of Lands' arrival
in Washington more than four years
ago flts him for Ashurst's club.
Wrote Brief for Lawyers

Since 1928 he had been a leading
member OF the Harvard law faculty.
In 1881 he took q leave of absence

hard at work in Z suite in the Carl

turned into the Truth-in- Securities
act, putting the Federal Government
in control Of the securities business.
Lands looks stern and austere, but
when he WAS an undergraduate at
Princeton his classmates called him
"Chink," and when Harvard students
wanted beer served them in their
dining halls, Lands provided them
