III Rich With Oil Stocks
Left by Turkish Prince

About $4,000 shares of oil stock
which may turn out to be worth
millions-or nothing at all-were
bequeathed to American friends
and relatives by Prince Mehmed
Burhaneddin, a son of the last
powerful sultan of Turkey, Dis
trict Court probate papers re-
vealed today.
Despite the paper" wealth ac-
counted for in the will of the
prince, who died in New York last
May. his actual cash estate was
assessed at about $4,000.
Half of this sum he ordered dis
tributed to Jean Kohler, his male
secretary for many years. The re-
mainder is to be divided equally
among Prince Mehmed's widow,
Mrs. Elsie Jackson Jarves Bur-
haneddin, and their two sons, the
Princes Mehmed Fahreddin and
Ertogroul Os,nan, both of New
York.
Washington Family.
Mrs. Burhaneddin is the former
Elsie jackson, daughter of a
wealthy old family Of Washing
ton, whose first husband was
Deming Jarves, a Detroit manu-
facturer. according to Attorney

The Prince and his wife made
Washington their home for many
years, at 1886 McGill terrace NV.
They also maintained homes at
Bar Harbor. Me. a Park avenue
place in New York, and a villa
at Dinard, France.
Prince Mehmed came to America
in 1884. He was a son of Sultan
Abdul Hamid II. who ruled Turkey
from 1876 to 1909. Hamid was
deposed in the latter year after a
bloody uprising.
Jackson Well-Known Here.
Under Prince Mehmed's will,
two of the stock beneficiaries are
Washingtonians. They are Schuy-
Ter jackson, 1901 Thirty-ninth

Princes widow, and Fred Latham.
a friend, of 1888 Calvert street

John P. jackson. N. S. NJ, retired,
and Mrs. jackson, 2S40 McGill ter
race NV. Capt. Jackson is a

Sultan's Heirs Issued Stock.
According to Mr.. Aiello, who
represents Mrs. Burhaneddin, the
stocks in question were issued by
the late sultan's heirs who formed
family corporation on his death.
The purpose, Mr.. Aiello said, was
to protect the family's interests in
rich oil lands of the Near East.
The probate papers declared the
value Of the stocks to be "un-
ascertainable" in value, pending
final settlement of the ownership

Leopold Virtual Prisoner.

remained a virtual prisoner with
lin Laeken Palace.
Socialist Party Leader Max
Buset announced he had refused
summons to the place by the
King.
Belgium Is democracy which
no longer accepts a king of the
old kind" he said.
Leopold won 57.6 per cent of
the vote in a plebiscite last March,
but large sections of the coun-
try voted against him because he
surrendered to the Germans in
1910 and agreed to become their
prisoner. The Socialists have de-
manded that he abdicate in favor
Of his 19-year-old son. Baudouin.
The more violent of his opponents
have shouted Leopold to the
scaffold."
At one time Leopold indicated
he might turn over his powers
temporarily to Baudouin, but he
refused to make a promise in
writing. His friends say, however,
that he will not bow to violence.

Only Positive Action
And Risks Can Bring
Peace, AttIee Warns
By the Asseeiofsd Press

TAUNTON, Eng, July 49,
Prime Minister Attlee warned
Britain today that world peace
could be obtained only by "posi-
tive action and willingness to take
risks"
He told a Labor rally that the
United Nations might have gone
the way Of the defunct League
of Nations If 1t hadn't acted to
halt the Communist invasion of
South Korea.
Then, paying tribute to United
States Intervention in the Korean
war, Mr.. Attlee said:
Cali honor to the United States
of America who took the action,
and we in this country and more
than so other nations are backing
them up in this endeavor to pre-
serve world peace.
II know this means risks and
dangers but any other course
would mean risks and dangers. I
am quite sure that If we want to
get an authority in the world that
is greater than the will of an ag-
gressor we have got to say here
and now that aggression shall not
succeed"
BlameS Communist States.
He blamed the Communist
states Of Europe and Asia for
keeping the world split into polit-
ical segments.
"1t is no good blinking the fact
they have been the chief obstacle
to bringing the whole world to-
gether," he said, but added in
reference to the end of the Rus
sian boycott Of the United Ma
tions:
But the chief one has still stood
In the United Nations and I am
glad of that because our hope is In
the United Nations"
He told his listeners that the
Communists were putting forward
"a creed-I think a damnable
creed, I think a sterile creed-but
1t is a creed which number of
fanatics have long held and that
gives it a certain strength"
May Hit Domestic Economy.
The Prime Minister echoed what
Is uppermost In the minds Of many
Western European statesmen =
the danger of rearming at the ex-
pense of domestic wellbeing. He
said:
"If you put too much into your
armaments you may ruin your
economy and make Just the kind
OF conditions which will be favor
able to the growth of totalitarian-
ism.
IF you put too little into your
defense you may fail to preserve
essential law and order. We have
reviewed that balance. grant
times are difficult and uneasy. but
I have great faith in the justice of
our cause. I have great faith in
democracy and in the people
everywhere"

lice broke under the attack. with

There the rioters fought sec

away bottles and weapons.
