Korean Colony Stirred
Order Of Succession Is Issue
In Court Bottle Over Estote

almost as classic as that of (which
came first, the chicken or the
egg?", in the case currently be-
fore the courts involving a tangled
question of legal heirs to the es-
tate of one of two people who died
in the same automobile accident
in 1853.
Also involved at the outset, was
the question of whether a Korean,
regarded as an alien at the time,
could act as guardian over property
in the name of his American born
son. This interesting case came to
light here last week when a SUI
perior court granted an approval
of an accounting to the law firm
of Miller, Maddox and Sheats, rep
resenting the interests Of S. D.
Hahn as administrator of his de-
ceased brothers estate.
Records in the case dating back
to the tinTe of the accident, April
18, 1858, reveal that DR.. Young D.
Hahn, Korean, and his son Her
bert Huxley Hahn born out of we'd
look, were killed in an auto acci-
dent near the town Of Mexicali, in
Mexico. At the time, Mrs. Shirley
Padre. former common-law wife of
the deceased DR.. Hahn, claimed all
of the estate of the two decendents
on the grounds that the elder Hahn
had preceded his son in death.
Previously, to the death of either
of the pair, the law firm of Miller,
Maddox and Sheats, had success
fully divested Mrs. Padre of any
interest in the community property
belonging to Hahn and established
him as guardian of his sons prop
erty interest, new Interpretation
Of the alien land law.
Lawyers for S. d. Hahn, De-
lano, Calf. farmer, and brother of
the elder Hahn, brought two Mexi-
can police here, who testified that
the younger man was dead when
they talked with the elder Hahn.
The case continues.

AFRO-ASIAN CONFERENCE
The widely accepted belief that
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell had
been invited to the Afro-Asian con-
ference this month, was corrected
this week by officials of the five
Colombo powers, sponsors of the
conference, who stated that only
Asian and African governments
were invited to the conference. It
was, therefore, impossible to in
vite Rev. Powell, although it was
learned from high Indonesian gov
eminent sources that when the In
donesian Ambassador learned of
Congressman PowelPs intentions,
he invited the Congressman to din
ner and said that the Indonesian
government would do everything
possible to make his visit a pleas
ant one.

apartment where the couple lived
in the 500 block of Sixth street
NE.
Meanwhile, a possibility of a
mistrial in the case came up late
yesterday on the question of
admissibility of testimony given
by Joseph A. Fox of the 1900
block of Queensberry road, River
dale, Md, a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Rettig.
The question Mr.. Fox was to
answer was in regard to a state
ment Mr.. Rettig was supposed to
have made to him about Mrs.
Rettig and a gun.
Denial by Mrs. Rettig
Earlier, Assistant United States
Attorney Harold H. Titus, jr.,
who is prosecuting Mrs. Rettig,
had asked Mrs. Rettig if, at one
time she had drawn a gun on her
husband. She denied that she
had.
MI Titus began to ask Mr..
Fox a question about the gun
and he said the statement made
regarding it was by Mr.. Rettig
out Of the presence of Mrs. Ret
tig. Defense Attorney Myer
Koonin moved for a mistrial on
grounds the references to the
gun were inadmissible as evil
dence and prejudicial.
Mr., Titus told the court he
believed he could produce an
eyewitness to the alleged gun
drawing. He also said he would
seek to show by references to
law that the testimony would
be admissible anyway.
