TUESDAY, MARCH 3. 1998 NEWS THE SALINA JOURNAL ESTATE Diana left fortune of $35.6 million Diana's sons will split $21 million and taxes take $14.3 million By EMMA ROSS The Associated Press DIANA LONDON The biggest single share of Princess Diana's $35.8 million fortune goes to taxes $14.3 million and her teen-age sons will receive nearly all the rest, according to her will released Monday. Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, 13, are to inherit about $10.6 million each. Their mother's estate is composed mostly of the divorce settlement from Prince Charles a year before Diana died in a Paris car crash on Aug. 31.

In December, changes were made to the 36-year-old princess's will to give her executors more power over the trust established for the princes. They will be able to receive money earlier than originally allowed. The will also was amended to allow each of her 17 godchildren to receive an heirloom to remember her by and to provide $82,000 for Paul Burrell, her but- ler and closest aide whom she referred to as "my rock." The changes also allow her wardrobe, wedding dress and intellectual property rights copyright and trademarks and royalties from commercial use of her picture or name to be used to raise money for charity or her sons. The gross value of Diana's belongings estate $35.6 million. After payment of unspecified personal taxes, an estate of $35.2 million remained.

An inheritance tax of $13.9 million was paid to the Inland Revenue tax service, leaving a net estate of $21.3 million to be distributed. The original six-page will. dated June 1, 1993, divided the net estate equally between her sons when they reached 25. Now, the trustees can decide to pay the boys an income before that age. The trustees can give the princes capital at any time, but after the boys turn 30, they can ask for their share of the capital in full.

The executors of the will are Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd; her sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and the Bishop of London, the Right Rev. Richard Chartres. William gets an equal share with his younger brother, despite the fact that he will inherit his father's Duchy of Cornwall, land holdings worth millions.

A manufacturer said trampolines are safer than bicycles. Children suffered 58,400 trampoline injuries in 1995, almost twice as many as just six years before, according to a report in the March issue of Pediatrics. Ninety-three percent of the injuries took place at home, it said. The American Academy of Pediatrics warned about the dangers of trampolines in 1977 and issued a policy statement in 1981 saying it is never appropriate to use them in homes or recreational settings, noted the report's author, Dr.

Gary A. Smith. "Trampolines were designed as training devices, and they were never intended to be used as backyard toys," Smith said in a telephone interview Monday from Columbus, Ohio, were he is a pediatrician at Children's Hospital. He said parents "think if they supervise their children, follow the safety directions, that these things can be safely used in the back yard. And that is a myth." A spokesman for the nation's largest trampoline manufacturer said sales of the devices rose fivefold nationwide during the study period, and that the findings attest more to the increasingly safe use of trampolines than to their dangers.

"You're several times more likely to wind up in the hospital from riding a bicycle than from bouncing on a trampoline," said Bud Nichols, general manager of Jumpking in Garland, Texas. "But they haven't suggested not riding bicycles." Vaccines show promise for curing cancer By The Associated Press NEW YORK Two vaccines to make the body attack the deadly skin cancer melanoma are showing early promise in patients. The patients had advanced cancer. While tumors shrank in some of them after treatment, it's too early to know whether the therapy will help patients live longer. Melanoma vaccines to treat the disease rather than prevent it have long been tried in patients, and some past studies have reported they prolong life.
