The question has not yet been answered by the witness because opposing attorneys had to call a four-day recess to digest it in order to determine if they intend to object to it. The five-hour question was asked in the trial of the suit to break the will of the late Maude Darrach who left an estate valued at $1,200,000. Mr. Davis represents six nieces and nephews of Mrs. Darrach who were disinherited in the will and who are seeking to break it on the ground that Mrs. Darrach was of unsound mind at the time she made it, The trial had been in progress for more than a month when Mr. Davis called as a witness Dr. Max Bahr,
superintendent of the Central State
hospital, as an expert to testify regarding Mrs. Darrach’s mental gondition, The hypothetical question included a review of all incidents in Mrs Darrach’s life from the time she was born until she died three years ago at the age of 73, directing Dr. Bahr to answer whether he thinks she was of sound or unsound mind. The one-word answer was expect-
ied today.
WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. P).— Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, commander of the French forces in North Africa, is scheduled to arrive today for a visit which officials hope will help the cause of French unity. Giraud's visit will rank as a military mission and he is expected to visit war production centers in the United States. His trip is attract{ing considerable attention because of the political controversy which he left behind in Algiers and because of the possibility of a change in the administration of Martinique, the French Caribbean island which thus [far has refused to join the fight lagainst the axis. | It has been announced that po{litical affairs will be subordinated to military matters during Giraud’s visit, but officials believe that while the political situation may not be stressed particularly, it will be im|possible to exclude it entirely.

PROBE PLANNED
Congress Has Appropriated 135 Billion Dollars This Year.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 7—“Squandering of the people's money, even in wartime, is no proof of patriotism.” That line in Commerce Secretary Jesse Jones’ reply to the attack on him by Vice President Wallace, | rang a bell on Capitol Hill. The senators and congressmen | are preparing to go home shortly and explain to their
3
constituents | why they voted more billions in the] first six months of 1943 than ever was done heretofore in the history] {of mankind. ‘It Ain't Hay’ Roughly speaking these apvro-| [priations amounted to new cash| {outlays of around 112 billions, but | |with reappropriations the sum is 'nearer 135 billions. Even the most] prodigal member of either house] ean confess to his home folks “that | ain't hay.” ga And since many of these “home| folks” are feeling the harsh bite of federal taxes on their nay checks for the first time there may be some political fence mending to do. The Truman committee has been uncovering war waste and misman‘agement for some time, Now Senator | Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.) has served notice that his committee will in(quire into why the war government | |had more than $200 billion in bal- | ances at the end of the fiscal year {June 30.
Byrd Plans Inquiry | | The war department asked and| | received $59.034.,839,673 and the navy | $27.637,226,198 from this congress so far. Yet the war department re{appropriation carry-over (money previously appropriated but not spent) brought its total figure to 72 billion. So the next time the generals march up Capitol Hill, certain senators and congressmen expect the balances to be big enough to carry on the war full tilt while they make a searching inquiry about its cost, | Senator Byrd, in announcing plans for the investigation of the big balances by the joint committee on reduction of nonessential federal expenditures, summed up the feeling of those who think that thrift is more patriotic than wastefulness for a country facing a probable $300 billion national debt. “I am not asking that one single {dollar be curtailed that is necessary to win the war as quickly as possible,” Senator Byrd said. “But I | think the congress and the people have the right to ask that all care 'and diligence be exercised so that these expenditures will be made with the utmost efficiency and economy.
