Only One Copy!

Ran into c. B. Lombard, as
sistant vice president OF the
Detroit Trust Co., the other
night and he exploded a popular
myth that there is safety IN
numbers when il comes to max
ing out a will.
He told me of an instance
where a soldier made three
copies of his will. When he was
killed. one copy, which he kept
with him, was apparently de-
stroyed.
Although the remaining two
copies were produced, the court
reluctantly denied probate be-
cause il had TO presume that,
with the disappearance OF the
third copy, the will had been
revoked.
1t is recommended that any
prudent serviceman have his
will drafted by an attorney
making only single copy which
should be kept in a safe deposit
box or some other safe place.

contracts for the cable and sub-let
them to the other defendants, en-
gagged in "collusive bidding" with
the others and succeeded in de
frauding" the navy department.
Mentally said the present suit
grew out Of criminal indictment
returned against the same defend
ants in which the corporations
pleaded nolo contendere and paid
SIT 800 in fines on Feb. IS, 1913.

and Rockbestos. other defendants
were Arthur G. Newton. president

Terminations Bill
OK. Cheers Industry
BY sILER FREEMAN

Passage by the House Of the
contract examinations bill by a
big vote was hailed by the auto
industry here as a big step to-
wards quick reconversion on
X-Day. While the bill still has
TO go to conference to iron out
some details with the Senate,
il will be substantially as il
stands now. with 100 per cent
settlements on finished products
and 90 per cent on raw mate
rails and labor costs and rea-
sonable charges.
But the quick action plus the
overwhelming vote in favor Of
it has convinced the industry
that Washington really wants
auto industry to get back into
its old routine as quickly as
possible and head the nation
toward prosperity.
With the War Production
Board in the same frame of
mind, il will now be matter of
cutting through some of the
red tape. 10 reduce the lag
more. There is still much paper
work, too much.

Utility Rate Cuts
o. KID by Treasury
By WARD SCHULTZ

Although he didn't mention
Detroit. Secretary Of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau could
well have been discussing the
utility rate fight situation here
when he announced ms depart
ments policy yesterday on util-
ity rate cuts.
lie said the treasury depart
ment has no intention OF oppos-
ing such reductions because OF
possible adverse effects on fed
eral revenues.
The department does not
want TO be considered a. giving
even tacit approval 10 sugges-
lions being made In some quar-
ters that public utility rate
reductions should not be put
into effect because one result
would he a loss Of federal reSe-
nues. particularly through the
reduction or elimination OF fed
eraI excess profits taxes" Nor
genthau said.
Public utility rates are under
the Jurisdiction of public regula-
tory bodies set up for the pur"
pose of protecting the public.
The responsibility is theirs OF
seeing that the rates are rea-
sonable. If reasonable rates
means less taxes TO the federal
government. the treasury Is
willing to accept that result,
he concluded.
OF course. there's one differ
ence tn that Mayor Jeffries and
his tax consultant, Richard Sui
Ivan, would have the city tax
away the utilities excess reve-
nues rather than eliminate them
by a rate cut.
But basically Morgenthau Is
merely saying that If utility
rates are excessive, the treas
ury department has no objection
10 having those excess profits
siphoned back 10 the public. so
there IS common ground there.

The first of a series of expert
ments seeking answer to the
question of whether air cargo
shipments of one of CALIFORNIA;
biggest crops-lettuce-will be
feasible after the war was be-
gun today by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Aboard an eastbound TWA
plant it placed one of its top
agricultural scientists, DR.. r. w.
Hooker, head of the fruit and
vegetable marketing section
and a $50 pound shipment of
lettuce, the first of four such
flights TO be made in the next
few weeks.
From these experiments, the
department hopes to find out
the effect of air transportation
on lettuce, which is a perishable
vegetable. and whether the
Eastern housewife is interested
in paying a premium price for
lettuce picked only few hours
before in California.

Nor does it seem probable that
this one will be any exception.
One should certainly hesitate TO

One should wait until either the
anticipated correction period has
