Will cases show strange bequests and legal limits
A discussion of unusual will legacies such as curses and threats, exploring validity, undue influence, and public policy. It notes that mean motives may be concealed after death, with examples like a spinster leaving all to a niece, and cautions courts will discard provisions conflicting with law or public policy. Written by WH Bernard. 1968 ABA release. Ranching ops safety warnings. Texas air routes approved. Trinity visit by Misses Quinda and Sissy Youngblood.
Safety Programs Should Be State Regulated Only
William K. Zinke of the National Association of Manufacturers argues against a proposed federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1968. He says federal controls would cost untold millions and be less effective than state safety programs, citing a 67 percent drop in work related deaths since 1912 and suggesting workers are safer at home or on the road. He notes the bill lacks consultation with state health officials and would grant the Labor Secretary broad power, despite House revisions.
