Hundreds of former guerrillas

the only place in the world where
such a positive program Is under

Makronissos actually is an army
training center. Its inductees and
volunteers are all persons sus-
pected of being or sympathetic
with the Communists. Hundreds
of them actually bore arms
against the Greek army.

Women, who now own be-

wealth of the country. will be
doing even better when the new
crop Of heiresses is appraised.
Lew H. Wentz. eccentric Ok
lahoma oil millionaire and
philanthropist. and one Of the
seven men In the United States
whose annual income exceeded
$6,o0o,o00 last year, died June
9, leaving his fortune to his
niece, Mrs. Dorothy Wentz
Healey. The millions Of public
utilities magnate Henry L.

der the 100000. 900 at which
his fortune was estimated in
1929, now 60 to his adopted
daughter. Mrs. Helen Dorothy
Vessel, following the death last
month of her mother. Mrs.
Grace Rardin Doherty.
These two will likely increase
their fortunes, Influenced by
the records Of other women who
have inherited American mil
lions. Even Doris CDeedeeD
Duke has rolled a modest $40.-
100000 family tobacco stake
into the $500. 100000 she Is
reputedly worth today; and

father and increased it q hun
dredfold. Her daughter. one OF
the least publicized heiresses,
is probably the wealthiest wom-
an in the world.
VENTS Niece Beneficiary
Mr.. Wentz. christened Louis
Haines Wentz. was referred to
as Lew by sports writer's in
Pittsburgh. where he managed
a semipro baseball team, and
he kept that name when he
turned to the Oklahoma oil
fields. While he was accumu-
lating his millions he lived
modestly in Ponca City, but he.
never let q day go by without
giving at least $1,000 to char
ity. He was q bachelor. In
addition to other charities, Mr..
Wentz' friends say that he
cared for 10000 children. He
was q major influence in the
Republican Party and was a
follower of baseball. making
several attempts to buy major
league teams. His niece. who
now inherits the fortune,
placed by friends at a $25 .000,-
600 minimum, also lives in
Ponca City.
When Mr.. Doherty died in
1897, his widow was made sole
beneficiary and executrix In a
3I-word clause in his will. He
made no mention of Mrs. Wes-
sci, daughter Of the widow who
had taken her stepfather's
