WASHINGTON R- Some Amer
lean diplomats today viewed the
top-level Chinese Russian con
ference in Moscow as mainly a
begging expedition" by the Chi
nese Reds.
These officials speculated that
the Chinese are dissatisfied with
Russia's promises and would plead
for:
/. More financial aid to supple
ment the 300 million dollar loan
Moscow promised in February of
1850.
2. Bigger and faster shipments
of Russian made military supplies
for hard-pressed Chinese Commu-
mist troops in Korea.
3. Removal of Russian troops
from Port Arthur and return to
Red China of the Changchun Rail-
way as promised by the end of this
year.
The State Department has eau
tiously labelled the Chinese-Soviet
conference as routine" and said
such meetings by partner nations
are to be expected.

OIL CARTELS SAID
TO BE SIPHONINC
u. S. FOREIGN
AID FUNDS
BY g. MILTON KELLY

WASHINGTON R- President
Truman has ordered the lid off a
long secret report on international
oil deals amid new charges that
a rich and powerful oil cartel is
siphoning U. S. foreign aid funds.
The report, which may have dip.
lomatic repercussions abroad,
promptly became fuel for a federal
grand jury which will open next
month an investigation Of alleged
price fixing and monopoly prac-
tees in the oil industry.
Decision to lift the official secret
label from the report, a year after
it was written by Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) staff experts,
was announced Monday by Sen.
John Sparkman of Alabama, the
Democratic nominee for vice pres
ident.
Sparkman spoke as head of the
Senate small business subcommit-
tee, and as the man whose public
demand for the information pre-
sumably resulted in the presiden-
tial order. The Alabaman said his
subcommittee would make an in
vestigation of its own before pass
ing judgment on the ETC findings.
Sparkman said the 10 chapter
report is being printed now by his
sub committee and probably will
be available for distribution by the
end of this week."
The State Department has &C.
knowledged that it had the docu-
ment classified as secret for Sc
curity reasons and lest its contents

eminent of Iran.

The seven u. S. and foreign oil
companies are Standard Oil of
New Jersey, Standard Oil of Cali
fornia, the Texas Company, So
cony Vacuum, Gulf Oil - all U.
S. owned - and two foreign firms
dominated by the British, Royal
Dutch Shell and Anglo Iranian
Oil Co.
Hennings renewed accusations
that the oil companies charge those
countries . higher price for oil
than they charge buyers in this
country and Canada, contending
that this has added huge sums to
the costs of u. S. foreign aid.
1T is Enthusiastically clear" he
said, "that even against our own
government the oil cartel is power
full enough to dictate its own prices
and terms which are admittedly
discriminatory and onerous in their
effect on the American taxpayer"

conversational manner for time SO
that the quality of his mind be APP

clause.

testator and the witnesses to observe
this to impress the matter on the
minds of the witnesses.
Who Can Witness
It should be noted that the wit
nesses to the will are not the only
ones who can give evidence in court
as to what took place; they are good
witnesses usually because of their
near opportunity to observe. Others
present may, however, testify.
The Montana statutes do not in
terms require mutual presence. How
ever, it is safer to have the wit
nesses present at the same time.
If testator moves to another state,
or has land elsewhere, his will may
be upheld where otherwise it would
require revision or be ineffective.
There are many litigated cases

will. declare to the attesting wit
nesses that the instrument is his
will. There must be two attesting
witnesses, each of whom must sign
his name as a witness, at the end
of the will, at the testator's request,
and in his presence. Our statute in
dictates that the witness must write
his place of residence with his name,
but his failure to write the place
of residence does not invalidate the
will.
Selecting Witnesses
In general, testator should not Sc
lect his executor, or trustee, or lega-
tee or devisee, or heir, as a witness.
Many wills have been Irrigated under
the doctrine of incompetent" or Sin
terested" witnesses. 1t is well to Sc
lect witnesses younger than tes-
tator who therefore have a good
chance of OUTLYING him. They
should be permanent in the local
ity. 1t has been said that a deceased
witness is less of a problem than.
one who cannot be located. An
unmarried woman is not so salts
factory. She may marry, change her
name and so be hard to locate. A
physician, nurse, the attorney
craftsman, or business associate
are pretty satisfactory as types of
witnesses.
A satisfactory attestation clause
would read something like this:
'0The foregoing instrument con-
sisting Of ~ pages was at the date
thereof signed, published and de-
clared by the said John Doe as and
for his last will and testament in
the joint presence of us, who, at
his request and in his presence, and
in the presence Of each other, have
subscribed our names as witnesses
Executing the Will

on the meaning Of presence" The
witness must be in testator's pres
ence when he signs his name. The
sense of sight is the test usually in
sisted upon by the courts. Some
cases have been decided on the
sense of hearing, but since the sense
of sight is the orthodox view, it is
inadvisable to allow a witness to
attest when testator's back is turned,
when he is on a sick bed in the
next room, or when a curtain inter-
venes between testator and wit
nesses in the same room. So the
suggestion is made that all sit down
around the table where all can OBJ
serve the steps in the execution of
the will.

safeguard its disposition at death.
If the expense of preparing will
is given as one reason. it is believed
to be misrepresentation. A check of
the minimum fee schedule for the

The formal written will is the type
used by most testators. It must be

the testator himself, or some person
in his presence and by his direc-
ton must subscribe his name there

Naming Executor

Naming Executor
In planning will, consider well
the one to nominate as executor;
otherwise the court appoints an adj
ministrator sometimes Politician.
One may wish to give instruction as
to burial, as to the payment and
collection of debts, as to the dispo-
sition of personal effects, as to the
disposition of personal property, as
to the disposition of realty, as to
the disposition of any residue in a
general residuary clause.
The shrinkage of assets in recent
times and the increasing role Of
taxation has made it necessary to
reconsider wills drawn some years
ago.
Look well to the will and keep it
up to date. Wills are ambulatory
and revocable taking effect only
at death. They may be changed
at will by revocation, substitution, or
addition. Older wills give outright
to the widow a share of a mans es-
tate and distributed the balance to
children. But the new recommended
model mtestate succession code
would make better provision for
the spouse by giving her u the net
estate if there are issue, or the first

estate if there are no issue but

GRID TEAM
MEETS L0RIS
ON FRIDAY

Tabor City's grid team lost a
heartbreaker to Clinton here last
Friday night but hopes to pull
win out of the fire in Loris
Friday night at 7:30 when they
tangle with the Horny eleven.
Loris repeatedly has a stronger
than average football team this
season and expects to put up quite
a battle in this tussle between arch
rivals.
Both teams have had rather
rough Shedding and do not have
impressive records but the Friday
affair promises to show plenty of
action from both teams as they
shoot the works to break in the
win column.
In last weeks bout here, Clinton
came out on the long end of a
1920 score but not before they
knew they had been in a ball
game. The score was tied 1920
with less than four minutes to
play before the visitors broke the
game wide open with two long
touchdown runs. One came on an
intercepted pass that was much
in controversy here and the other
on a long pass.
