Hollywood, April 28-(UP)-Jackie Coogan discovered today that he owes his estate $171 for the suit he has on his back, while the $4,O0000O he thought he had earned has dwindled to $558,0O2, including 60 cents for two dozen eggs produced by the hens he bought his mother. Also, he found that most of his property consists of real estate bought during boom times, while all the cash he can hope to collect in his suit against his mother and stepfather, MT. and Mrs. Arthur l.. Bernstein, totals $634.26. Jackie, who once earned that much in one day before the movie cameras, looked at the red ink in his &C., count books and said he was "ap- palled".
 "I am going to find out who got my money and what became of it, ," Jackie, now g years old, added. "The only tangible thing of any value remaining in real estate, which is listed at the price paid for it many years ago on high market. q am convinced that it is listed on the books of the Jackie Coogan Productions, Inc, at vastly more than it's actual present-day value. My mother must not be blamed for this terrible condition of af- fairs. I am more determined than ever to have an accurate account ing by the court of my earnings and what has become of them"
 Jackie said that if Judge Em- met H. Wilson decides next week that he deserves what is left of his earnings, he intends to lump the whole business in a trust fund for

Jackie Coogan O1Des Estate For His Suit or Clothes

his bride, his younger brother and his mother. Coogan, who believed that he was multi-millionaire when he married Actress Betty Grable last December, discovered his true financial circumstances when John E. Biby, court receiver, filed an inventory of all Jackie's assets. The report showed total gross assets of $7O8,0O2, an assort- ment of bills, loans and overdue taxes, and a net of $558,002.
 Biby listed 60 cents which Jackie's stepfather surrendered upon sale of two dozen eggs last week from pull lets in the Coogan henhouses. In a preface to his complicated bal ance sheets, the receiver indicated that he could not understand what had happened to Jackie's millions, if millions there were, but added that he had found mo evidence whatever" of a misappropriation of funds. Biby said that Jackie Coogan Productions, Inc, from which Bernstein has been operating 8 wholesale beer business, owes the county $3,950 in back taxes-while Jackie himself owes the corporation $1719 for his new tweed suit and harmonizing haberdashery.
 The receiver said that a con- panion corporation, the Coogan Fiji nance company had a deficiency of $1,592. The Bernsteins owe Jackie Coogan Productions $66,042.75, but claim that it owes them $21, ,729 in back salaries. The real estaet con- sists largely of vacant lots on Wiltshire boulaverd and a mansion in San Fernando Valley where the Bernsteins live. Judge Wilson will consider Receiver Biby's report Monday, when attorneys will argue opposing motions in Jackies suit.
