axes Make Big Business
OF Estote PIonner's Role
BY JOSEPH B. BYRNEs

The road to heaven for a well.
heeled citizen is no longer the
proverbial straight and narrow
path. Its detour around the ia,
collectors Office has transformed
the celestial turnpike into lega
maze.
Acting as guides along thi!
devious route are a group of spe-
cialists whose endeavors are
swiftly becoming big business
They are known as ESTATE plan
ners."
Their principal function is tt

knuckles when he dips his hanc
into the treasures left upon earth
by those who have departed.
Dying Is Complicated
| Dying, as Tax Expert John P
Allison in Fortune Magazine
points out, has grown exceed
ingly complicated. This applies
not only to the wealthy. but to
anyone capable of accumulatine
over $4,000 in property and life
insurance.
No longer does calling in the
family lawyer to draw up a will
always suffice. Tax law has be-
come so complicated that the
modern attorney is often Joined
by tax experts. insurance ad-
visers, accountants, trust officers
and the estate planner.
Together they endeavor to see
to it that their clients heirs get
as much as is legally possible for
him to leave after the Govern
ment, and in some cases State
governments, have taken their
bites. How much will be left
depends on how wisely the
bereaved planned his estate
while alive.
With approximately million
families in the Nation boaSting
an annual income of more than
SIS, 900, it is fair to assume that
the heads of most Of these will
accumulate 100000, at least.
Estate Taxes Heavy
It is at the $4,000 figure they
become liable to Federal estate
taxes that rise from 3 per cent
to a top of II per cent on estates
OF $40 million or more.
The need for estate planners
for persons fortunate enough to
be in the aforementioned
brackets is demonstrated by the
following over-simplication.
Assuming a man died leaving
an estate of $250,000 and takes
only his 100000 deduction. In
ternal Revenue will take $45,-
300 in taxes from his estate.
However. he can beat to a
large extent this death tax
assessment if he is married and
leaves one half of his estate to
his wife. She pays no taxes on
her share. BY claiming the
marital deduction and giving
the limit the law allows as gifts
to his heirs while alive he can
cut his death taxes to $4,000
a saving Of $40, 500.
For a 10 million estate the
tax is cut from $4,975, 900 to
$1,879,630.
Banks Assist

ments. They all, more or less
practice some form of "estat.
ology."
However, most bank estate de.
partments are concerned prima-
rily with increasing earning;

administration. This was dis

The export license was issued

Soviet Jet transports
Ready for Regular Duty

MOSCOW, July IA P.-The
Soviet Union plans to inaugurate
regular service next month with
its big -engine TU-l04 jet
transport, Russian pilot said
today.
Gerald Dmitrievich Kuznetsov
a command pilot for the Soviet
airline Aeroflot. said initial
service will be between Moscow
and Copenhagen and Moscow
and Prague. The distances to
the Danish and Czech capitals
are about LOO miles.
Mr.. KuZnetsov said service will
begin later this year between
Moscow. Peiping, China, and
Jakarta. Indonesia.
The 33-year-old pilot proudly
showed off the liner that will be
used on the international flights.
1t is the plane that impressed
observers this spring when it
carried the Soviet security chief,
Ivan Serov. to London to pre-
pare the way for the visit of
Soviet Premier Bulganin and
Communist Party Boss Nikita
Khrushchev.
Mr.. Kuznetsov also said he has
flown a four -engine Russian jet
airliner, the TU-ll0, which he
