$150 Million Estate
By The Associated Press i Cortlandt House and adjacent
NEW YORK — John D. Rocke- property, all furnishings and an-
feller Jr., who gave away 450 mil
lion dollars during his lifetime,
left an estate estimated at 150
million dollars.
The will of the philanthropist
was filed and admitted to probate
Thursday in Surrogates Court. The
will was dated Jan. 8, 1958, with
three codicils at later dates.
Rockefeller died May 11 at Tuc
son, Ariz., at the age of 86. The
residue of the estate goes to his
widow, Martha Baird Rockefeller,
and the Rockefeller Brpthers Fund,
Inc., a philanthropic foundation.
The 59-page will made prelim
inary gifts of charitable nature,
including 1,500 acres of Mount
Desert Island, Maine, to the U. S.
government. It also specified gifts
of personal property and works of
art.
Rockefeller’s six children, a
daughter and five sons, including
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller, are wealthy in their own
right. The will left various par
cels of real estate to the sons.
The widow’s portion of the re
siduary estate will be held in trust.
She will receive a life income from
. the trust and will have the right
to dispose of the principal of the
trust in her will.
Mrs. Rockefeller also will re
ceive her late husband’s coopera
tive apartment at 740 Park Ave
nue.
Real estate owned by Rockefel
ler in the Tarrytown, N. Y., area
of Westchester County will go to
the sons.
Rockefeller left his J. Y. Ranch
in Wyoming to his son Laurence.
The will specified that his Harbor
Club property in Maine go to his
ARMED FORCES
tiques, plus a million dollars, be
given to Sleepy Hollow Restora
tion, an organization devoted to
preservation of historic buildings
in the Tarrytown area,
sons Nelson and Davis, but this
property had been turned over to
them proir to his death.
Another bequest, effected prior
to his death, directed that the Van

statement in writing from the
A&M College System Board of Di
rectors that the women will not
even be considered.”
Barron said he did not agree
that A&M was an all-male college
operated under military rules.
“A&M is a university type
school, not a military academy,”
he said. “People don’t realize
what a great institution A&M is.
That school offers a diversity of
degrees comparable to many of
the greatest universities in the
United States, including several
degrees that aren’t offered any
where else in Texas,” he added.
Barron said A&M was geared
to 1900 standards and for that rea
son would continue to lose money,
top faculty members and students.
“After the football season there
is nothing to do but study,” he
said, “and it takes more than study
to keep a great school great.
“Letting women into A&M
would not only help the school
scholastically, morally and finan
cially, but would help to make
greater the greatest school in the
world,” Barron said.
As to the status of the Corps of
Cadets if women were admitted,
Barron said he had talked to “the
top ROTC man in the Pentagon,”
and “he wondered why A&M had
n’t gone coeducational before.”
Barron said he predicted the
Class of ’62 would take Aggie co
eds to the Ring Dance that year.
“I think it would be safe to esti
mate there will be from 1,000 to
1,500 women going to school at
A&M within,” he added,

Rescue Effort
Continues
By The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Res
cuers inched up the tortuous face
o f North America’s mightiest
mountain today toward a desper
ately sick woman and four injur
ed men.
An Army jet helicopter, flying
at more than twice its normal ceil
ing, failed twice Thursday to pluck
the five climbers from the high
reaches of 20,320-foot Mt. McKin
ley. The Army said it would try
again today.
Concern mounted. The climb
could take three days. Tempera
ture on the mountain Thursday
night was 15 below zero. Rescuers
included 47 members of Seattle
Mountain Rescue Council, shuttled

Battalion Staff Writer
A former employee of the Ross
Allen Reptile Institute in Florida,
James R. Dixon can strip a fiye-
foot rattlesnake of its venom with
out blinking an eye. His lectures
on the characteristics and habits
of poisonous snakes, climaxed by
hourly milking of huge rattlers,
were the main features of a De
partment of Wildlife Management
exhibit recently.
However, you probably wouldn’t
guess that he is also working on
a less illustrious project that is
far more important, the detection
of the carriers of the costly and
sometimes deadly disease ornitho
sis. Commonly called parrot fev
er, the sickness hits domestic tur
key flocks throughout the state,
and even infects people working in
poultry dressing plants.
Hunting Disease
Working as a biologist for the
Department of Microbiology in the
School of Veterinary Medicine,
Dixon is attempting to discover
what wildlife is carrying the dis
ease to the turkeys, and what can
be done about it.
The first phase of Dixon’s work
is to collect blood and tissue samp
les from various wild birds and
animals and determine if they are
carriers of the disease. Most of
his collecting work is concentrated
along the Texas Gulf Cdast, and
during the bird nesting season he
makes numerous trips to small is
lands in the Gulf of Mexico.
The second phase of his research
involves collecting live specimens,
innoculating them with the dis
ease organism and then checking
to see if or how long they will be
active carriers.
