Uncle Sam stands to become principal beneficiary of a $43,954,062 estate left by Mrs. Lillian Timken, widow of a co-founder of the Timken Roller Bearing Co. Sequestered among art treasures in her Fifth Avenue apartment until she died in 1959 at the age of 78, the wealthy recluse gave her paintings (among them a Goya, two Rembrandts, two Titians and a Rubens) to three U.S. museums, intended her principal assets (stocks and bonds) for her heirs.

No other screen could contain all the bang-banging, choo-chooing, galloping, whooping and thundering that three directors (Henry Hathaway, John Ford and George Marshall), 13 stars, ten costars, 12,000 extras, and 1,000 buffaloes have done in How the West Was Won.
