Mormons in his later years because they didn't drink or smoke and were unlikely to discuss the reclusive billionaire's lifestyle or appearance. Also named to receive one-sixteenth was Melvin Dummar, Utah, gas station owner who said he had picked up "an old man" while driving in the Nevada desert in January 1968. "He said he was Howard Hughes but I thought he was a bum," Dummar said of his mysterious passenger. Dummar said the man "had been hurt when I picked him up and I wanted to take him to a hospital, but he declined." Instead, Dummar said, the man asked to borrow a quarter and got out behind the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Dummar said he had almost forgotten the strange occurrence in the desert until reporters reached him Thursday.

Other bequests in the document include: One-sixteenth to establish a home for orphans. One-sixteenth for "a school scholarship fund for the entire country. Oie-SlXteenth "to be divided among my personal aides." The remaining two-sixteenths "to be divided among the key men of the companies I own at the time of i my death." i Although Hughes fired Dietrich in 1957, Las Vegas Sun publisher Hank Greenspun said Thursday that the billionaire might well have turned to tym to handle his estate. "Although Hughes was supposedly mad at Dietrich at the time the purported will was written, he trusted him lm- PXZi business judgment and he always turned to him in time of crisis." Greenspun added that although he didn't think the document read as if Hughes had written it, "It may very well have been written by him because of the fact, unusual as it may be, that he appointed Noah Dietrich executor." The alleged will has been piace(i a bank safety deposit box here pending action to determine its validity. After he turned over the papers, Kirton said the Mormon Church would take what he termed a "passive" role on the question of authenticity and the administering of the Hughes estate.

Described as a dynamic and rewarding approach to understanding human behavior, the concept has significant industrial and business applications, and is equally as valuable to individuals who wish to improve communications or human relations skills. Zellie D. Earnest, member of the International Transactional Analysis Association, who studied TA at Southeast Hughes' vast holdings, said they doubted the will had been drawn by Hughes and a court fight over its authenticity seemed probable. The judge here who will decide whether the document is the last will of the eccentric billionaire said Dietrich would have to prove its validity.

"Since Dietrich has been named executor, it would be up to him to submit proof that this will was indeed the last will and testament of Howard Hughes, that it was properly signed by Howard Hughes and that Howard Hughes was mentally capable of executing a will at the time it was signed," said Chief Judge Keith Hayes of the 8th Judicial District Court. Hayes declined to say specifically what he would accept as proof of the will's validity but commented, "Someone would have to prove that this will was written by Howard Hughes and that it is legally binding.

Ella Rice, a Houston socialite who was Hughes' first wife, and Jean Peters, an actress whose marriage to Hughes ended in divorce in 1971, would divide one-sixteenth of the estate under the purported will. The Mormon Church, along with the Boy Scouts of America and William Lummis, one of Hughes' first cousins, also would get one-sixteenth each.
