Most Of $50 Million
State 10 Research
By the Associated Press

HOUSTON, Jan. Robert A.
Welch, 81-year-old bachelor who
always tipped his barber a dime.
left most of his estate of more
than $50 million to a chemical
research foundation for the bene-
fit Of mankind.
Most Houston residents had
never heard of the elderly multi
millionaire. who disliked seeing
his name in newspapers. Provi-
sions of his will were announced
yesterday by executors of the
estate. Mr.. Welch died Saturday
After the first 10 years, trustees
of the foundation will have au-
thority to make grants and gifts
for other charitable, scientific or
educational purposes.
Mr.. Welch arrived in Houston
in 1886 with less than so cents of
the money he had borrowed to
make the trip from his Newberry
T(S. c. home.
Fund Valued at $42.5 Million.
Value of the trust fund to sup
port the research foundation was
placed at about $42.5 million. All
grants and gifts are to be used
within the State of Texas.
Trustees indicated it may be
months before the estates actual
value can be determined. Reliable
sources have Speculated a $3.50
million estimate would be con-
servative, in view Of anticipated
Ilong-range income from Mr..
Welch's large oil and sulphur roy
alties.
Other bequeStS made by the oil
man who never owned an automo-
bile and who preferred 15-cent bus
rides to taxicabs included:
Twenty mine employees are to
receive Is per cent of the net
value of the estate. This makes
millionaireS of two Of Mr.. Welch' s
long time business associates
Daniel r. Billiard and Wilfred T.
Doherty. Each will receive Is
per cent of the Is per cent. Pre-
liminary estimates placed the Is
per cent to the employees at $7.5
million.
Sister to Receive HeirlOOmS.
An additional $500, 900 fund is to
be established for extending
financial aid to the employees"
Miss Linda WEIGH Of Columbia,
is. c.. a sister and the only other
survivor, will receive heirlooms
which Mr.. Welsh maintained in
his $300-a-month downtown Hous-
ton apartment. Trustees said Miss
WEIGH is wealthy in her own name.
Mr.. Welch's first job in Houston
was as a railroad clerk. He later
was employed by several banks
and began making investments in
Gulf Coast land. In recent years
he invested almost exclusively In
mineral rights and 1eases-oil and
sulphur-in Texas, Louisiana and
Mississippi.

medical test comes in September
when she gets a checkup at
Dallas where she had her opera
ton.
