Alleged to be due the state by the estate involves about 250000. The suit was won in state courts by the state, but the estate went into U S courts, alleging discrimination. The ruling today upholds this contention and reinforces an arbitration board finding once used in the litigation. If the Barrett ruling stands, the tax payment by the estate drops to about 34000 instead of 250000 as sued for.
