LOUISIANA HIGH COURT UPHOLDS ESTATE LAW Relic of Huey Long Regime Affects Millions in Trust Estates. E¥ the Assoclated Press. NEW ORLEANS, July 18 —The late Huey P. Long's act prohibiting trust estates in Louisiana was upheld to- day by the State Supreme Court. The court ruled that an act of the extraordinary legislative session of 1935, preventing the creation of trust estates, was valid, but that trusts cre- ated prior to that mct cannot be dis- solved. An effort to repeal the trust act was made at the recent session of the Leg- islature, but the bill died in the hands. of a conference committee after pass- | ing the two Houses. Several million dollars now involved in trust estates in Louisiana, attor- | neys said, would be affected by the | Supreme Court’s ruling. Births Reported.
