Simes of the Law School.- In the first of this year's annual Thomas M. Cooley Lectures yes- terday, Prof. Simes outlined his views on disinheritance in the im- mediate family. Should Leave Fair Share He said that he believes that each spouse should be required to leave a "fair share" of his estate to his marriage partner, because of the close family relationship. Under present Michigan law, the wife can contest her husband's will if she has been ignored, but the husband has no chance of having Presidents To Meet P raternity President's Assembly will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in Sigma Chi fraternity. his wife's will altered. In New York, alteration in either case is possible. Prof. Simes suggested that ade- quate protection should be avail- able to each of the parties.

"While I think that it may fairly be said that an American father rarely disinherits a child unless he has good reason . . . I believe that the child should be permitted to take action against his parent's will when he is unable to provide for his own maintenance and edu- cation, but only in the amount necessary for those purposes." Four More Lectures He also said that gifts before death which were mere evasions of the law should be treated as part of the entire estate when the person dies. Four more lectures are scheduled as a part of the series. At 4:15 p.m. today Prof. Simes will discuss "The Public Policy against Per- petuities: Dead Hand vs. Aliena- bility" in Rm. 120, Hutchins Hall.
