In W. C. Field's Will
Los Angeles, Dec. 15 (U.I!) A
judge's rule voided a clause in
W. C. Field's will on grounds the
late comedian was asking the
state to practice racial discrimi
nation. Superior Judge William R
McKay said yesterday that the
residue of Fields' estate could
not be used to set up a "W. C.
Fields" college for white orphans
where "no religion of any sort
is to be preached.
"Mr. Fields in his lifetime
could have discriminated against
all races except the while,"
Judge McKay said ,"but he can
not in death call upon the state
to administer his affairs and
supervise a corporation which
overrides the constitutionality of
equality of rights common to all
races."
