Court Denies Petition
To Remove Executor
In Lyon Estate Fight

The Montgomery County Or
phans' Court has dismissed a Pc
tition to revoke the appointment
of the Washington Loan & Trust
Co. as executor of the $500, 900
estate of Mrs. James Alexander
Lyon, late wife of a prominent
Washington heart specialist.
The ruling, handed down by the
court yesterday in Rockville, rep
resented a f1rst-round victory for
the bank in what is expected to be
a prolonged legal battle over the
estate.
Pending in County Circuit Court
is a suit by DR.. Lyon against the
bank for one-third share of the
estate. He seeks to break trust
benef1ting Mrs. Elizabeth Moore
Lyon Kelley. daughter of the
socially prominent couple.
It was Mrs. Kelley who filed the
petition two weeks ago to revoke
the banks appointment.
At a hearing last week on the
banks motion to dismiss the petit
ton. Mrs. Kelley's attorney, David
Apse. claimed neither she nor her
father had been notified of the
Orphans Court action naming the
Washington Loan & Trust Co. as
executor.
But Robert Peter, representing
the bank, contended Mrs. Kelley
gave mo valid reason" why the
company should not be appointed
executor. And another bank at
torney, J. E. Burroughs, jr., said
Mrs. Kelley, in effect, had waived
the notice requirements provided
by law.
When told of the courts deci-
sion, Mr.. Abse said he would file
an amended petition in continu-
ing his fight to set aside the
banks appointment.
The Lyon home is part of a 49,
acre estate on the Norbeck road
just outside Rockville. Mrs. Lyon
died last September %. Her will,
which named the trust company
as executor. was admitted to pro-
bate in Orphans Court few days
later.

Alexandra and Fairfax
'C|aim Jurisdiction
OF Occupied Area

Both Alexandria and Fairfax
] today claimed jurisdiction over a
}7l2 -square-mile area awarded the
city in a recent annexation case.
Attorney Robert j. McCandlish,
who yesterday filed an appeal of
the annexation court s ruling, said
the county felt the city was not
entitled to take over until the
Virginia Supreme Court of Ap-
peals reviews the case.
But Alexandria City Attorney
v. Floyd Williams said the city in
tends to consider the area within
the corporate limits.
City Occupies" Area.
Alexandria occupied" the ter
ritory as the New Year was rung
in-the date specified in the an
nexation decree. Fairfax officials
said they thought nothing would
happen, however, until the case
was appealed.
Hugh B. Marsh. Fairfax Com
monwealth's attorney. told the
county's Board of Supervisors to-
day that he has instructed the
county police, fire department,
health department and other
county agencies to continue to
serve the area.
Supervisor Arthur Schaffer
wanted to know if teachers at
the Lee-Jackson School in the
area would get paid by both the
city and county.
Mr.. Marsh replied that the
teachers at that school had con-
tracts with the county, and would
continue to receive pay checks
from the county. regardless of
what the city may do.
ANY services Alexandria per-
| forms in the annexable area"
said Mr.. Marsh, they do at their
own risk"
S. Cooper Dawson, resident Of
the annexable area, was reap
pointed to the county Board of
Zoning Appeals. Mr.. Marsh said
he must be a county resident to
serve, and the supervisors said
they consider he still was county
resident.
In filing the appeal, Mr.. Nc
Candlish said the annexation
order could not take effect until
81 days after entry of the decree,
(which would be January 9.
| The county contends the three
judge annexation court erred on
is points.
City's Trash Trucks Busy.
One claim of the appeal is that
the city failed to show when, if
ever, garbage and trash collection
would be- made in the annexation
territory.
Mr.. Williams said the city's gar
bage and t1asL trucks were busy
collecting in the area yesterday.
We're exercising gradual con-
troll" said Mr.. Williams. We've
told all city departments not to
be belligerent about anything"
Some of the problems bothering
residents OF the disputed territory
are where tney should record deeds
in case of property transactions,
where they should buy business
licenses ana whether they should
4 rush out and buy city automobile
licenses.
