REYNOLDS ESTATE APPEAL FORESEEN State Supreme Court Af- firms Settlement of To- bacco Fortune. By the Associated Press. RALEIGH, N. C. November 2.— Further legal moves were indicated to- day in the involved litigation over the | $30,000.000 trust estate of Smith Rey- nolds, mysteriously slain husband of | Libby Holman, Broadway blues singer. | The State Supreme Court amrmcd‘ Jate yesterday a compromise settle- | ment plan approved in the lower courts, but whether division of the tobacco fortune actually was close at hand remained uncertain. Possibility that the agreement would be taken into the United States Su- preme Court was seen in the conten- tion of the Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of Baltimore, estate trustee, that ju- risdiction was in Maryland because the trust fund is in that State. The huge fortune was left in trust by his father for young Reynolds, shot to death after a gay party at his pala- tial home in Winston-Salem in July, 1932, a few months after his marriage | to Miss Holman The compromise settlement, pro- posed by Reynolds' brothers and sis- ters, would give 25 per cent of the| estate. about $7.500.000. to Reynolds’ posthumous son, Christopher. Anne Cannon Reynolds, 2nd, his| daughter by an earlier marriage, would receive 37!, per cent. A simi- lar portion would go to the Reynold family to establish a charitable foun- dation. All litigants agreed to the settlement except the young millionaire’s first wife, Anne Cannon Reynolds Smith. | and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Joseph | F. Cannon, co-guardian of little Anne. They contended the entire estate ghould go to the 5-year-old daughter on the argument that Reynolds’ Reno divorce was invalid The settlement plan includes $1,- 000.00 awarded little Anne and he: mother in a pre-divorce agreement. Libby Holman Reynolds, whom Rey- nolds married six davs after his 'di- vorce, would get $750.000. A com- promise payment of $2,000,000 Stat inheritance taxes would be made. The agreement was approved in Forsyth County Superior Court last March by Judge, Clayton Moore after a long hearing. The case was taken 10 the appellate court by his first wife Mrs. Cannon, and the Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of Baltimore. The appellants contended the Mary- land courts, rather than the North | Carolina courts, had jurisdiction. In | Maryland an action is pending to| determine the rights of various claimants so that the trust estah-‘ lished by Reynolds’ father might be settled.

Nice promised today | to do “everything legally possible” to‘ ald some 600 water men who are un- able to begin dredging for oysters be- -ause, they claim, they have no money to buy State dredging licenses. Gov. Nice said he understood “pre- vious administrations have allowed them 30 days’ grace” in obtaining their licenses, but his information was that “such a pmcedur: may be in vmh-\ tion of the law.” “When this thing came up yester- day, I immediately instructed the chairman of the Conservation Com-i mission (former Judge Robert F.

We should have this ruling any time now. “If the attorney general finds there is anything we can do to help the| oystermen, we are going to do it, but we cannot, of course, violate the law.

Sir Samuel and Baron Aloisi dis- | cussed the East African conflict and | the resultant tension between Britain | and Italy in an interview lasting three- | | quarters of an hour. | Subsequently, an Italian spokesman | said the conversation was cordial and in the nature of a general review of the situation. There were no indications in dip- lomatic circles, however, that the gen- eral situation had improved. An authoritative source said Great Britain was ready to withdraw some of its powerful naval units from the Mediterranean if there was an easing of tension between Italy and Britain— tension which the British considered maintained particularly by the Italian press and more recently by manifesta- tions against British-controlled shops | in Rome.
