sage, Leyte and Philippine Sea.
There was one proposal in the
Defense Department to cut these

operation of six of them in the
1851 fiscal period.
In addition the Navy operates
three carriers built on cruiser
hulls-the Wright. Saipan and
Cabot-and seven escort carriers.
All are assigned to anti-subma =

be slight cutback in these ships
also.
The Defense Department is 60
ing over the support activities of
the three services closely to de-
termine where reductions and
transfers can be made without
injuring the fighting or combat
forces themselves.
The Army's strength reduction
will come largely in this category.
Mr.. Kimpall asked command
ing officers to carefully examine
the papers of enlisted personnel
before recommending them for re-
enlistments and called for a
speedup in the mastering out
processes so that the men may
leave promptly and thereby save
the Navy money.
Commanding officers should

Tentative Agreement
Reached With Niece
On Julian Will

A tentative agreement under
which Mrs. Elizabeth Julian
White, niece Of the late William
A. Julian Treasurer of the United
States. agrees to drop attempts to
have Mr.. Julian's will probated in
Montgomery County has been
reached between Mrs. White and
other beneficiaries.
Mr.. Julian, who was 81, was
killed in an automobile accident
May 20 on River road near Be-
thesda. His estate has been esti-
mated at between $4,000, 900 and
$5,oo0,0 900.
Mr.. Julian lived in Potomac,
Md, but owned property in Gin
cinnati and his will already has
been admitted to probate there.
Details of the agreement are
expected to be made public at a
hearing September % in the.
County Orphans Court in Rock
vile.
1t was reported. however. that
Mrs. White, who lives in Fort
Leavenworth, Kans., and other
heirs, would receive cash settle
ments from several Cincinnati
and Kentucky institutions which
were named benef1ciaries if she
does not contest Ohio's ruling that
that State was Mr.. Julian's legal
residence.
Mrs. White, according to attor-
neys for both sides, initiated her
petition in Montgomery County
because she believed she would
get a larger share of the estate as
a result of the differences between
the laws of the two States.
In his will, Mr.. Julian left about
one-fourth of his estate to four
Cincinnati charitable institutions
but later crossed out the bequests
with a pen. Attorneys claimed
that such deletions are not recog-
niZed in Ohio, but might be up
held in Maryland.

Southern Coal Producers Associa- :
ton at Bluef1eld, w. Va, were re-
cessed today until next Tuesday.
Mr.. Lewis presence at the
White Sulphur Springs meeting
indicated that the time may be
nearing when he will get down to
business with the operators on
terms of a new contract.
Up to now there has been so
much coal above ground in stock
piles that it has put him at a dis
advantage in the negotiations.
The mine leader has made 1t
clear that he wants a bigger royal
ty collection-possibly 40 cents q
ton-to finance the 500 monthly
pensions for 60-year-old miners
and to aid disabled and distressed
union members and their families
Before leaving White Sulphur
Springs Mr.. Lewis again insisted
that the billion-dollar Cleveland
Trust Co. could make Coal OPP
orator James D. Francis pay back
royalties if it wanted to.
Mr.. Francis, head of the Island
Creek and Pond Greek Pocahontas
Coal Cos. in West Virginia, is
among several Southern operators
who did not pay the royalty due
August 20. Mr.. Lewis sent Sec
ond message to I. F. Freiberger
Cleveland Trust chairman, saying
that as trustee for the Francis
Arm the giant bank could make
the payments.
Mr.. Freiberger had told Mr..
Lewis two days ago that Cleveland
Trust has a substantial but not
controlling" interest in Island
Creek and only a very nominal
interest in Pond Creek Pocahon-
tas.
Mr.. Lewis, who in his first mes
sage predicted a social convul-
sion" in the mine fields if royalties
are not paid, told Mr.. Freiberger
in his second telegram that he
could control Francis IF you wish
to do So" .~
IF you do not exercise such
control" Mr.. Lewis added, II will
understand that it is because you
sympathize with Mr.. Francis saw
age attitude toward coal miners
and their families.
