The will of the late Wallace E.
Gregg, rs, retired Washington dairy
man, leaving his entire estate to
his secretary, will be contested by
Mr.. Gregg's relatives in Montgom-
cry County Orphans Court, Rock
vile, next Wednesday.
The estate has been estimated
variously as being worth about
$1,1oo.0o0.
Notices Of contest were filed yes

sister Of Mr.. Gregg's mother. at
torneys said.
In the will filed in Rockville, MIR.
Gregg, who died January 26 at SUBJ
urban Hospital, Bethesda, named
Mrs. Elise Jones Welden, of 1915
Massachusetts, avenue, NV, as sole
beneficiary. Mrs. Welden was en-
ployed as a secretary to Mr.. Gregg
for several years.
Mr.. Malloy said the contestants
will argue that undue influence"
over Mr.. Gregg was exerted by Mrs
Welden, which resulted in an ''un-
natural distribution" of the estate
by the will. The arguments are
scheduled to be heard in Orphans
Court next Wednesday.
Asks Collector Be Named.
At the same time, Mr.. Malloy filed
a petition in District Court asking
for the appointment of a collector
for the estate, pending settlement
of the contest. 1t requested that
Mrs. Bessie" M. Ghiselli, of 3512
Porter street, NV, daughter of Mrs.
Swanson, be named the collector.
In asking for collector, the at
torneys asserted Mr.. Gregg's total
estate is valued at 81, ,106 6,290.
John F. Lillard, sr, Hyattsville at
torney, and an executor of the es-
tate together with Mrs. Welden,
however, said he does not believe
the final value of the estate will
exceed 100000.
j. Blynn Welden, husband of the
beneficiary, said he believed the es-
tate would come to about one-fifth
of the 81 600, 900 estimate" He said
he did not wish to discuss any fur
ther aspects of the case.
Will Executed in 1912.
The will, which was executed In
March, 1912, had a codicil dated
June, 1916. The codicil eliminated
a $4,000 bequest originally made
to family chauffeur
Mr.. Lillard said that Mr.. Gregg,
whose wife died five years ago, left
no immediate next of kin. The
lawyer said, however, Mr.. Gregg had
about 10 relatives.
II is expected the Orphans Court
ne35 week will refer the contest to
Montgomery County Circuit Court.
Mr.. Gregg operated the former
Greggs Dairy at Sixth and o streets
NV, founded by his father, John
w Gregg.

Oman Opposes Use
|0f Public Funds 10
Aid ParochiaL Schools
BY the Asseciofed Press
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Feb.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. Il
Bishop G. Bromley Oman of the
Methodist Church declared that use
of public funds to support parochial
education would seriously weaken
the public system, which is the bull
wark of democracy"
Speaking at the all-council fel-
lowship luncheon of the Interna-
tional Council of Religious Educa-
tion in session here, Bishop Oman
declared that private education
should support itself.
The Supreme Court Monday, by a
5-to-4 vote, ruled that public school
funds, raised by taxation, may be
used to pay for transportation of
children to Catholic parochial
schools.
Public support for paroehial
schools would divide the community
into sectarian educational systems
and destroy the unity essential as
democracy faces the totalitarian
threat to freedom" he said.
Pointing out that democracy gives
to private institutions full freedom
the New York Bishop asserted such
proper freedom should not include
public support"
"If parents have the natural
right to determine the education
of their children, a privilege this
Nation gladly gives, it follows that
parents who refuse the benefits of
these splendid educational oppor-
tunities the Nation gives in its
public system, should pay for such
private education as they insist
upon," he said.
Otherwise, the Bishop said. "the
Communist father and mother who
may demand a MARKHAM education
for their children, may also call for
private schools and logically ask for
public support. Public funds should
be used for public education"
Discussing the outlook of Portest-
antism in the next quarter of a
century, Bishop Oman expressed
the belief that Professionalism con-
tributes the democratic theology
and the democratic practice essen
tial to q democratic society"

the previous record for the same

other times of the year in the past.
but they are normally down In the

The report was regarded as cer-
