If the real val I ue of Smith Reynolds' estate Is de termined at approximately $25,000, 000, Norttt Carolina would collect $8,482,000 In inheritance and es tate taxes with the federal govern ment receiving $6,384,000, it was estimated here today. Under the federal revenue act of 1932, the estate, if worth $25,000, 000 net, would be subject to a fed eral estate tat of $9,8119,000. Be fore the 1932 rates, states shared 80 per cent of the tax rate collected by the government. But North Carolina would not share in the 1932 increases and would receive only 80 percent of the federal taxes under the 1926 rates, or $3,482,000 out of $4,435, 000. The government would- rebate to young Reynolds', estate the $3, 482,000 paid the stated leaving the net federal tax at $6,384,000. State and federal authorities here, however, were doubtful the estate of the young tobacco heir would ap proximate $25,000,000 In net value. The "involved wills of the late R. J. Reynolds, father of Smith, and Mrs. Reynolds, it was pointed out, must be taken into consideration. Under the federal laWf the execu tors or administrators of Young Reynolds' estate must make a pre liminary report estimating the val ue of his estate, within a month af tsr appointment. Within a year an itemized report is required. Mr. and Mrs. Beam Entertain At Barbecue Mr. and Mrs. Q. M.
