FLORIDA INSTEAD OF WIS
coNsrN

]. ]. Trevor. First National
Bank cashier, today was named
in a petition presented by Aqui-
limo Lopez, Jr., as the executor
in the estate of the late Prof.
Howard L. Smith, retired dean
of the University of Wisconsin
law school, who died in Key
West on January %.
Lopez filed Professor Smiths
will for probate here after win
ming his contention that the will
should be probated in Florida,
where the professor was a resi-
dent, rather than in Wisconsin.
Because of a Florida law, it was
necessary to secure a resident
of this state for executor, re-
placing the Wisconsin bank
which Professor Smith had Sc
lected.
Professor Smith left to his
widow Josephine, all of his per-
sonal property, with the excep-
ton of books, money in banks,
credits, stocks, bonds. mortgages
and securities.
Books which the widow de-
sires for her own use or for her
friends will be turned over to
her upon submission to the ex-
ecutor of written list, with all
others going to the University
of Wisoncin.
A home and property in To-
ronto, Canada, Professor Smith
left to his niece, Helen Smith
Dixon, and all the balance of the
estate is bequeathed to the Gen.
trail Wisconsin Trust company,
providing an income for the
widow and for sister-in-law.
Upon the death of Mrs. Smith
and the sister-in-law, Professor
Smith provided that enough OF
his property be converted into
cash to provide monthly annuities
for two nieces. with the remainder
to 60 to the University of Wis
consin in a fund for the promo
tional of cultural pursuits. Prof
fessor Smith provided that should
the amount going to the univer-
sity amount TO less than $50. 600
the trust company should add the
income to the principal, reinvest-
ing until the estate does reach
$4,000.

Royal Air Force Bombers
Drop Thousands OF
Leaflets Urging Repu-
diation OF Vichy Regime

CAIRO, June 9.-British and
Free French troops are driving a
three-pronged attack into the
heart of French-mandated Syria
today, still without encountering
serious resistance, a bulletin in
Cairo has announced.
Raj bombers have dropped
thousands of leaflets in cities
throughout the country, urging
citizens to repudiate the Vichy
regime and cooperate with Lon
don and the Free French in pre-
venting domination by Germany.
Bending every effort to prevent
a real war against their country
men, French military leaders on
the British side have kept up a
constant series of radio broad
casts directed toward Syria.
In spite of Vichy claims that a
British landing party was cap
tured and an armored column
thrown back, Cairo reports said
there has been little or no i'm
portant fighting.
One column has driven to
within 35 miles of the Syrian
capital, Beirut, from the south
west, while another has moved to-
ward the capital from the north,
and third is moving up the val
ley of the Jordan, about 80 miles
from Damascus.
British military men say there
has been no sign of material Ger
man aid for the French defenders.
British Is said to be using an
army OF about $4,000 men, which
opened the attack yesterday at
dawn, while French defenders of
Syria are estimated at from 3d.
600 to $4,000 men.
