O PROBATE

Why must there be probate?
Why can't I pay the bills myself
and take over the property with
out all the bother of going TO
court?"
These questions are commonly
asked of a lawyer.
The main purposes of an admi-
niStration are to collect the dece-
dents assets and pay the debts
funeral expenses, and the like,and
to make proper distribution among
those entitled thereto.
Even though the estates of all
deceased persons are subject to
administration you will find ma
ny cases where there is no admi-
nistration simply because the de-
ceased person left no property.
Many times, where the deceased
leaves $500 or less in bank. the
money can be applied by the sur
viving spouse to funeral bill and
the cemetery expenses without any
administration.
If a person, however leaves any
substantial amount OF property,
there will have to be an admins
tration
II a will was left by decedent an
executor will be appointed who
will pay the debts and distribute
the estate according to the terms
of the will If no will was left
then an administrator will be ap-
pointed to pay the debts and to
distribute the estate according to
the state laws, under court super
vision.
In either case, the executor or
administrator is considered the
deceased's personal representative
Winding up the deceased's af-
fairs must be done in an orderly
way so that the rights of creditors
and heirs are protected. That is
the reason why there must be a
probate"

 Secretary of defense Wilson told a news conference yester- day the military will ask con- gress to approve Ia ibillion-dol- lar increase in defense spend ing over the 3414 billions cur rently estimated for the pres ent year.

West Point gruduate found guilty of helping enemy

1 He was reprinaanded by be- ! ing suspended in rank for two years.
 Army attorneys said that meant he will retain his pres ent rank as lieutenant colon el, but will be pun two years behind aM officers in the or der of promotion to higher rank.
 Lilies won acquittal on the other charges against him. He was the 18th soldier to be tried on collaboration charges since the end of the Korean conflict. Two other offiers and six enlisted men were con- victed; two officers and one enlisted man were acquitted.
 Lilies was the first West Point graduate to be tried on collaboration charges.
 The 39-year-old officer from Birmingham, Ala, was found innocent of two other changes embracing several coun.s. They were accusations that he was disloyal to the United States; led Red indocrination classes, became a member of a so-called prisoners peace com mittee under comrnuniss spon- sorship, signed surrender ap- peals to United Nations troops and refused to take charge of American prisoners when he was the senior officer present.
 His defense counsel, Lit. Col. Leslie E. Dixon of Mon. erey, CaIif., said the case will be ap- pealed all the way to the court of military appeals"
 q feel confident the decis- ion will be reversed" Dixon said.
 Lilies stood erect as the ver- diot was announced by the president of the court, Brig, Gen. Fred W. Salden, Jr.
 Dixon told reporters he was sure the result would have been different if Lilies escape plan for some TO Americans from POW camp near Pyang yang, capital of North Korea, had been success.
 Lilies was captured by the Chinese communists in North Korea, Oct. 28, 1850 and spent the next three years in pris- oner camps near Pyoktong and Pyangyang.
