any other rights which they may have under the plan, in whatever
manner they consider advisable.
SIXTH: I direct that all inheritance, estate, trans-
fer, succession and death taxes, of any kind whatsoever, which
may be payable by reason of my death, whether or not with respect
to property passing under this will, shall be paid out of the
