I direct that all inheritance and estate taxes be-
coming due by reason of my death, whether such taxes may be payable by my Estate
or by any recipient of any property, shall be paid by my Executors out of the prop-
erty passing under this Will, which is not specifically devised or bequeathed, as

duty or obligation to obtain reimbursement for any such tax paid by my Executors
even though on proceeds of insurance or other property not passing under this

ITEM II:
I hereby exercise all powers of appointment which
I may have at the time of my death in favor of my Executors, and all property
subject to all such powers of appointment shall be included in my Estate.

wearing apparel and all other like articles of household or personal use and adorn-
ment to my wife, KATHRYN S. McLEOD, if she survives me. If Kathryn S. McLeod
