Attorney ordered to give
evidence on Hughes’ will
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) - The
"Mormon will” of Howard Hughes
could be the last of the billionaire’s
weird caprices or one of the biggest
attempted frauds in history.
The judge charged with making the
decision ordered Nevada Attorney
General Robert I Jst into court today to
turn over evidence that reportedly
shows the document is a forgery.
Nevada authorities said criminal
charges may be brought if the
document is shown to be an attempt to
defraud the $2.5 billion Hughes estate.
District Court Judge Keith Hays,
presiding over probate of the disputed
document, acted after lawyers — in
cluding the “will’s” legal sponsor —
told a Ix)s Angeles judge that Nevada
investigators found Melvin Dummar’s
fingerprint on the will’s outer envelope,
and other evidence linking Dummar to
other Hughes will materials.
Dummar, a former Utah gas station
operator, is the reputed “good
Samaritan” who would inherit more
than |IOO million from the Hughes
estate if the Mormon will is genuine,
apparently for giving the hitch-hiking
Hughes a ride in the desert one day.
Dummar has said repeatedly that
except for the ride Incident, he had no
contact with Hughes and was unaware
of the existence of the strange “will.”
He denied ever handling the en
velope, and argued that if his finger-

print were found, it must have been
planted —a feat criminalists say is
very difficult to do successfully.
Probate hearings were scheduled to
start Jan. 10, but attorney Harold
Rhoden, whose job was to prove the
document is legitimate, asked for a
postponement and an inquiry because
the fingerprint report seriously
questioned its validity.
Rhoden, representing the designated
executor, former Hughes’ aide Noah
Dietrich, said he will abandon the claim
if the fingerprint report is true.
Rhoden and attorney Paul Freese,
representing Hughes' relations who are
fighting the “will,” told a Los Angeles
court in a related hearing about the
Nevada attorney general’s evidence.
They said FBI tests, conducted at the
attorney general’s request, turned up
Dummar’s fingerprint on the outer en
velope in which the “will” was found in
Mormon Church headquarters in Salt
lake City.
Freese said tests also showed that
Dummar himself addressed the outer
envelope to former Mormon President
Spencer W. Kimball, and that he had
taken from the library of Weber State
College at Ogden, Utah., where he was
once a student, a book and a magazine
containing examples of Hughes’ hand
writing. The pages containing the
examples were tom out, he said.

Animals aid
respiratory
students
AUGUSTA - For the first
time, animals are being used
in the Medical College of
Georgia's respiratory
therapy program to provide
realistic pre-clinical
laboratory experiences
necessary for students in a
critical-care environment
"Laboratory experience
gives students a measure of
self-confidence and gives the
instructors an index of their
performance,” explains
Steven R Loveland,
respiratory therapy in
structor and project coor
dinator
Some $40,000 in so
phisticated equipment sim
ilar to that used in hos
pital situations is avail
able in the animal lab.
"The student can monitor
the animal just as he would
an actual patient. This
provides the student with a
more thorough education,’’
Loveland says. “The
animals, simulated in a
clinical situation or disease
state, offer significant ad
vantage over discussion or
artificial models.”
Through use of the animal
lab, students improve
techniques of life support
without risking human lives
This advance in teaching
techniques provides the
student with crucial first
hand experience unequaled
in the respiratory therapy
BS program, says Loveland
Phone tax
drops again
The federal excise tax on
telephone service drops from
the current six percent to five
percent, according to Southern
Bell District Manager Barry
Mansell. “The one percent drop
in the tax rate will be reflected
on all customer bills on or after
January 1,” he said.
“Similar rate reductions are
scheduled each year until Jan.
1,1982, when the entire tax will
be repealed.”
