Demurrer In Case Upheld In Probate Dispute
An opinion upholds a demurrer in a case where Paul Camp sues Bert G. Henhan as executor and First Trust & Savings Bank as trustee over a will of Christan Blockart. The original bequest of $4,000 to each grandchild was changed to a trust with fixed monthly payments, creating ambiguity about beneficiaries including a German sister-in-law.

The draft officials deny a full registration and note strong patriotic response nationwide.
