Benson said in his budget speech that in respect of deaths after mid night tonight we exempt all amounts left outright to widow by her husband and to widower by his wife Perhaps should make it absolutely clear that this estate tax exemption includes pen sion and annuity benefits Further if trust to his wife the assets lnthat trust will be excluded from his estate but included in hers and
