By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 24.—Although New York’s highest court has estab- lished the dower rights of Mrs. Fran- cis Heenan (Peaches) Browning Hynes to the estate of the late Ed- ward W. (Daddy) Browning), there is still no way of telling finally when and how much she will benefit from the decision. A committee to evaluate the estate, variously estimated at between $4,- 000,000 and $9,000,000, will now be ap- pointed by the State Supreme Court, her attorney, George J. Langley, said today, and on its decision will rest the final settlement. Under the law, he said, dower rights amount either to one-third of the total income or a lump sum equivalent. Browning's estate, consisting chiefly of real estate, is understood to have in- creased.considerably since his death. Browning was divorced in Paris from his first wife previous to his marriage to “Peaches.” His adopted daughter, Mrs. Dorothy (Sunshine) Browning Hood, who also challenged the Browning will because it left more than 50 per cent of his estate to charity, opposed “Peaches’” dower rights on the grounds that Brown- ing’s Paris divorce was not legal. ~ st South Africa has formed a War Supplies Bodrd to- mobilize all indus- tries in case of war.
