RENO EVENING GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN RENO, NEVADA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Two Groups Seek Sewer Service But Methods Vary Two groups attempting to get sewers into a 1500-acre area south of Refto are still pursuing their objective by opposite methods this week. The Washoe County Improvement Association wants a sewer assessment district. It is understood that petitions are being distributed. A group of property owners in the area are seeking an 12, 1954 -i i. nexation to the City of Reno, 1 ft I it I 1 mi.

INDUSTRY IN RENO must account for 10 percent of the Washoe County Red Cross quota of $42,000, says chairman Tom Horgan, of Commercial Hardware. Horgan has already organized some 14 men for the March drive through the industrial area of Reno, not only seeking $4,200, but a fifty percent increase in active Red Cross membership. (Nickell photo) NEW SNOWSTORM HITS SIERRA NEVADA TODAY Gale Force Winds Blow Over Wide Area; Heaviest Part Still to Come Is Forecast Snow and rain fell over the Sierra Nevada ranges and foothills Thursday night arid continued today as a vigorous cold front pushed Menial Hospilal Study Continued By Stale Board Clark Residents Dissatisfied with Preliminary Probe More meetings, of the advisory board of the Nevada state hospital are scheduled next week as the outcry continues in Clark county, particularly, over the recent escape of Dale Sollars, 21 ye8r old mental patient committed from Las vegas. The board, which was ordered by Gov. Charles H.

Russell to make an investigation of the escape, will meet in the governor's office Feb. 19, and then will continue the probe at a meeting at the hospital on the following day. Both' meetings will be held at 2 p. m. TILLIM ireARD The first part of the investigation was held last Saturday when the board convened to rTear Dr.

Sidney J. Tillim. the hospital superintendent, testify that the escape of an occasional patient cannot be avoided without turning the hospital into a prison. He added that to offer absolute assurance against escapes would require three times as many attendants as there are patients. Clark residents have not been satisfied with the progress of the investigation and the district attorney's office has asked the board tor the opportunity to be heard while the investigation is underway.

Various service and civic clubs in the Clark county area also have entered the controversy and Las Vegas newspapers have criticized' the handling of the Sollars case in editorials. Young Sollars was committed to the hospital last Fall following a shooting spree in a Las Vegas bar in which he killed a man and injured a woman cocktail waitress. NOT COMPETENT Tillim testified at an insanity hearing that Sollars was not competent to stand trial because of mental disorder and the jury which heard him ordered the youth committed to the state hospital Sollars slipped away from the mental hospital during a social but was recaptured a short time later. He had been reported missing once before but was found only to have wandered into another room. As part of the probe, Robert Clark, superintendent of state police and William Donovan of Silver City, an advisory board member, are surveying security measures at the hospital and will report their findings during the series of meetings.

CHAIRMAN ABSENT Thomas Craven of Reno, advisory board chairman, also has been criticized recently for alleged lack of attendance at board meetings. Mrs. Zclda C. Fightlin, mental health chairman of the Nevada Federation of Women's Clubs, in a recent letter to Gov. Russell, said: "As chairman for the Nevada Federation of Women's clubs in the mental health division, we wish to go on record protesting the laxity in providing adequate precautionary measures to insure safety of our citizens from homicidal attacks by the cirminally insane who have been committed to the state mental hospital.

"We wish to remind you that in April, 1953, we requested that it there be a vacancy on the state hospital advisory board a representative of Clark county be appointed. In view of the fact that Mr. Thomas Craven, your state hospital advisory chairman seldom resides in Nevada we feel that an appointment replacing him should be made and recognition of Clark county be established immediately." Commenting on the Sollars case editorially, the Las Vegas Review-Journal this week charged that the board plans a "perfunctory hearing, with the cards stacked in favor of Dr. Tillim and then to adjourn without accomplishing any constructive program for the proper incarceration of criminally insane people like Sollars." If such a thing is allowed to happen, the newspaper added, then questions which might be embarrassing will be asked of the governor when he campaigns for reelection in Clark county this year. "A majority of the people of Las Vegas and Clark county feci that Sollars should be put away where he 'cannot use a loaded pistol on the spur of the moment' as Dr.

Tillim told the advisory board he might do at any time," the editorial continues. The newspaper concluded that the people of Clark county want a full and complete investigation of the matter, including the taking of testimony from the Clark county prosecutor's office. "The residents of Clark county are determined not to be pushed around on this matter and will make it a cause celebre, if necessary," the editorial concludes. PHONE 3-3161 GOP of Washoe Sets Observance Of Lincoln Day Utah's Governor Is Speaker at Banquet Tonight Four hundred Washoe county Republicans who assemble in the Redwood Room of the Riverside Hotel night for the G. O.

P. party's annual Lincoln Day dinner will hear one of the nation's most economy-minded governors and a forceful speaker J. Bracken Lee of Utah. The evening's activities will begin at 7 o'clock with James Santini presiding as master of ceremonies. Prior to Gov.

Lee's address, Santini will introduce Kenneth Dil-lion, Washoe county Republican chairman, who in turn will introduce Gov. Charles Russell. The Nevada governor will make the introductory remarks prior to Gov. Lee's address. WIDELY KNOWN In Gov.

Lee, local Republicans will be meeting and hearing a man who is already familiar to the nation's magazine and newspaper readers. In recent months, the Utah chief of state has been the subject of news stories in Newsweek and Time and feature articles about him have appeared in such national publications as Saturday Evening Post and Amei ican magazine. Gist of most of the articles has been his honest and-successful attempt to pare the cost of running a state government. He was the only state official to be elected on the Republican ticket in 1948 defeating the incumbent Democratic candidate by 27,439 votes. His election was all the more amazing when it is considered that all of the other Democratic candidates swept into office by about the same margin that Gov.

Lee defeated his gubernatorial opponent. KEPT PROMISE Once assuming office, Gov. Lee set out to make his campaign promises a reality. His first act was to overhaul Utah's scandal-ridden and expensive liquor control monopoly operation. In the last three years, the State of Utah has financially benefitted by a saving of almost one and one-half million dollars because of Gov.

Lee's streamlined program and there has been no resulting scandal. From the first session of the le gislature during his regime. Lee has been constantly at odds with the Democratic party, but mainly because he sought to follow an economy policy. During his first legislative session, he slashed departmental requests almost in half to submit a budget of $43,500,000. When the heavily packed Democratic legislature upped his original figure to he used his veto power in unprecendented fashion to cut out individual appropriation items totaling almost four million dollars.

For his straight forward efforts in reducing the cost of state government operation. Gov. Lee was lauded editorially by the Salt Lake Times, Deseret News and the Salt Lake Telegram. Normally a Democratic mouth organ, and a constant critic of the Lee administration, the Times nevertheless had this comment to make: "Many candidates have promised ecenomy, but Gov. Lee was different in that he not only made the promise but is making every effort to keep it." HAS COURAGE In a singular fashion, the Telegram editorially commented that Gov.

Lee has the "courage of his (Turn to Page 12. Col. 5) Shriners to Stage Annual Snow Fest Some 350 members of Aahmes Temple of the Shrine in Oakland and their wives were scheduled to arrive here shortly after midnight tonight for their annual snow party in Reno. The group, led by William M. Huffman, potentate, will arrive in Reno on a special train running as ihe second section to the City of San Francisco streamliner.

Despite the late hour, the temple band will lead the Shriners and their wives in a parade from the depot down Virginia street to headquarters in the Mapes hotel, where a midnight snack will be served. Saturday, there- will be a trip to the Reno ski bowl by special chart- i tred buses: A cocktail party is scheduled for early Saturday night, followed by dinner and a party in Ihe Skyroom of the Mapes where the Shriners and their wives will see the Gay Ninety revue. After a "gin fizz" brunch Sunday, the group will leave here Sunday afternoon by train for the bay DUMP CLOSED For the second time in less than a month, City Engineer Elliott Cann this morning ordered the city garbage dump closed because of the high winds. Cann's order did not affect the regular work of the city garbage dumping crews but private citizens will be prohibited to dump refuse until the high winds either subside or shift, said Cann. Quarrel Marks Bayar Visit To Las Vegas Senator in Huff As Mayor Gets Preferred Seating LAS VEGAS.

An incident which many observers said might have a far reaching effect, particularly in the Nevada gubernatorial election this year, marred a farewell ban quet given in honor of President Celal Bayar of Turkey last night. Sen. Pat McCarran threatened to storm out of the Hotel Last Frontier dining room because the seat of honor had been given to Mayor C. D. Baker and not to the senator.

"Since when the senator de manded of state department officials who arranged the seating, "does the mayor of a city come before a United States senator?" The senator did not allude to the probable candidacy of Baker for governor. SMOOTH RUFFLES Protocol-conscious officials tried to smooth the ruffled senator, but reminding him that he and not the mayor, who was the official host was to introduce the president to the audience of more than 100 local dignitaries. "I will not," the senator declared. "I'll walk out first," he announced in a voice loud enough for more than half of the assembled group to hear. "Since when," he repeated, "does the mayor of a city come before a U.

S. senator." The situation was 'cased a moment later, however, when harried diplomats prevailed upon Mayor Baker to move over one seat, and the senator was installed in the seat of honor, next to the president's interpreter. Although McCarran and Baker sat side-by-side for the rest of the evening, a chilling silence separated them. WELCOME VISITOR When McCarran rose to intro duce the president, he said "never has a man come to visit this country who is more welcome." "The world is passing through a transitional stag McCarran said. "Out of this turbulence there has arisen in civilization outstanding men anj women who have worked to bring out a spirit of complacency in the world.

'The guest here tonight is one of those outstanding men. He ranks with Churchill of England, Di Gasperi of Italy, Adenauer of Germany and Franco of Spain." (For more on McCarran's speech see page 3). The president, who was presented the traditional ten gallon western hat by the chamber of commerce, expressed his pleasure at having come to Nevada and thanked his hosts for the interesting tour of the area. When he first came to this country, he said, it was suggested to him that he visit Nevada "to see how people of intelligence, energy and courage could improve upon what nature has given them. "I came and saw it, I have witnessed with my own eyes," he said, "that the inhabitants of this country have learned to make the most of their land." The banquet was the concluding public function for the Turkish dignitary as he and his official party left this morning by train for Dallas, where he will be feted and taken on a tour of the Texas countryside.

Yesterday Bayar was accom panied on an extended tour of the area which included stops at the i Basic Magnesium plant at Henderson, a visit of the Hoover dam powerhouse and Lake Mead facilities, a luncheon at Boulder City and an inspection of a newly completed luxury type motel. The planned trip into the Moapa Valley agricultural area -was cancelled because of the lack of time. Boulder City school students were given a surprise during the afternoon as the president paid them a surprise visit and spoke briefly. SKIERS HAPPY AS BOWL GETS NEW SNOWFALL Skiiers In the area were heartened by a new snow storm early this morning that at eleven o'clock was blanketing the Reno Ski Bowl and Sky Tavern resorts on Mt. Rose.

The newest storm was described by observers as heavy In intensity and accompanied by high winds. The storm was expected to greatly Improve skiing conditions at both the new Reno Ski and the slopes at Sky Tavern. All facilities at Sky Tavern to include T-bar and both rope tows would be In operation Immediately after today's storm lifted. The upper lift and lower lift at Reno Ski Bowl were both reported to be in operating condition and would be ready for skiiers when the storm ceased. The Sugar Bowl on Donner Summit had an early report of excellent skiing and was expected to benefit from today's storm as a total of nine inches new snow was reported In the area early this morning.

'-j i half of new snow had fallen in the noon today, and some of the lower slope of the range, received up to a half-inch of precipitation from mixed snow and rain. Gale winds of from 50 to 60 miles an hour accompanied the storm in the mountains, and gusts in the Truckee meadows Thursday night and early this morning hit up to 65. The weatherman said the sustained wind here during the night was about 45 miles an hour. CONTINUED SNOW The heaviest part of the storm, according to the forecaster at the weather bureau- station here, is still to come. He predicted it would hit the Sierras shortly after sunset today, bringing continued snow and high winds tonight and Saturday.

Motorists were warned not to attempt a trip through any part of the mountains without tire chains. The highway patrol said chains were necessary on both U. S. highways 40 and 50 and on state routes in the mountains. By noon the storm had added nothing to Reno's far-below-nor-mal precipitation total for the year.

Only a trace of moisture was recorded this morning, and the weatherman said it actually was just a "drift" blowing in from the mountains. Reno's precipitation total since last. July 1 still stood at 1.68 inches, compared with a normal of 4.29. Occasional light rains were predicted tor Reno and vicinity tonight and Saturday, with continued strong, southerly winds. The overcast and winds combined Thursday night to keep temperatures here at a high level.

The minimum this morning was 44 degrees, but the weatherman said the low tonight should dron to around 35. The high in Reno Thursday was 58, and maximums of around 55 are expected today and Saturday. Up until 4:30 o'clock this morning, Blue Canyon, on the western slope of the Sierra, has already measured .52 of an inch of precipitation, and snow and rain continued to fall today. Susanville reported .27 of an inch, and Sacramento, .23. In Nevada, Winnc-mucca received .01 of an inch Thursday night, and Elko, .01.

vyj and they are distributing their own petitions. Backgrounding the development of the area, and the origins of both the improvement association and the rival group, sheds light on the subject. AREA INVOLVED The area involved, mostly lying east of South Virginia road but with a portion to the west, is estimated at 1300 to 1500 acres in extent. It takes in all the Sun Acres subdivision, the Hillbrae subdivision around Neil road, Airport road, and Kietzke lane, as far south on South Virginia road as the northern boundaries of the Moffat ranch. It also extends west of South Virginia road to the Cochran ditch, the Sierra Meadows and Margrave subdivisions, and other properties west of Kietzke lane as far north as Vassar s-ireet.

It extends 150 feet east of Kietzke lane. Some estimates have placed the population involved at 5000, but many impartial observers now think this is extravagant, and that 3000 to 3500 persons would be a more accurate estimate. There are 400 to 425 parcels of land indi-' vidually owned several owned by the same persons. NEAR $2 MILLION The assessed valuation of the property isn't known with accuracy, but some knowledgeable bystanders figure it may range around The airport itself, built and for many years operated by United Airlines but now under lease to the City of Reno in a joint venture with the air national guard, is one of the biggest single, commercial developments. The Isbell Construction with its main offices in the area, is the biggest private industrial development.

Otherwise an array of road-houses and bars, a few of them first-class establishments and many in middle and lower-class brackets; scattered businesses such as well-maintained service stations, and a number of motels dot the landscape. It is generally conceded that the residential structures in the area are of lower quality than those of most subdivisions within the city- limits. There are exceptions, however. The Margrave subdivision to the north favorably compares with most working-class subdivisions in the city: and incidentally is already equipped with sewers, paid for by assessment of property holders. There are probably many unclassified reasons for the growth of this region, but two dominant ones seem to be the generally cramped space about Reno and the economic circumstances.

MOVES RAPIDLY The city has moved south rapidly within recent years, perhaps more than any other way, although it has burst its boundaries in all directions. As a main arterial for north-south traffic, South Virginia street provided an inducement for investors in and near the highway to put up service stations, roadhouses and motels. As unincorporated county property, the territory provided a place for low-income groups to build homes, and in some instances businesses, without payment of higher city taxes and without such restrictions as building code regulations which prohibits the "cutting of comers." Thus the area has grown in helter-skelter fashion. It is getting too big to run that way, most property owners and residents agree. Sewage, street, curb and gutter prob lems, particularly in the airport region, are acute, and there are 1 other undesirable aspects of the sort of promiscuous freedom the area has enjoyed, such as extremely high fire insurance rates caused by the lack of city fire protection.

Problems piling up around the airport south of Reno and in adjacent regions caused the Washoe Countjf Improvement Association to be created. It was, and is, headed by a painting contractor who lives on Wrondel Way, Continued on Page 16, Col. 1 Malone Urges New Attitude RACINE. Wis. (JP Sen.

Genres W. Malone (R-Nev) said in a Lin coln Day observance speech last night that the congress should adopt a new attitude for the present day world situation. "There should not be a single foot soldier on foreign soil today," Malone said, "except those necessary to guard our own vital air and naval bases." He added that the eovernmpnt should stop giving billions of dollars in financial aid to EuroDean nations and allow the reciprocal trade agreements now in effect to expire June 12, 1934. "The carry over of a Democratic party 'buy foreien" oolicv makps us dependent on many distant nations for critical and strategic materi als without which we could not fight a successful war or defend this nation against an enemy," he said. FEATURED speaker at the Washoe county Republican party's annual Lincoln Day dinner this evening will be J.

Bracken Lee, governor of Utah. The dinner is being held in the Redwood Room of the Riverside Hotel and more than 400 members of the G. O. P. will assemble to hear Gov.

Lee's comments and pay tribute to Abraham Lincoln, the country's first Republican president. Indian Colony Woman Slain, Suspect Is Held Being held in the Washoe county jail today for investigation of the murder of Mrs. Daisy Morgan, resident of the Reno Indian Colony, is a man Sheriff C. W. Young has identified as Phillip Carl Ornelas, alias Phillip Carl Molino, and who has a long police precord.

Mrs. Morgan, wife of former Reno Indian Colony Tribal Judge Frank Morgan, was found dead in an Indian Colom garage early this morning, the victim of a brutal face beating believed by officers to have been administered by Ornelas. He was arrested at 4 o'clock this morning in the Indian Colony by Robert Lawson, sheriff's deputy. Interrogated at the sheriff's office, deputies said Ornelas, has admitted "assaulting the woman and striking her five or six times." The body of Mrs. Morgan was first discovered by Mrs.

Stella Mc-Ginnis at approximately 1 a. m. She immediately notified Fred Tabby, the U. iS. Indian Officer, and he summoned Washoe county sheriff's deputies investigate.

According to Deputies Cliff Smitten and Rudy Hoganson who were called to the scene, Mrs. Mc-Ginnis, Eddie McGinnis, Ornelas and his girl friend, Bernice Sam, and Mrs. Morgan were congregated in a cabin when Ornelas and the victim went outside about 12:30. When the couple failed to return within a few minutes, Mrs. McGinnis and Bernice Sam went to investigate and found Mrs.

Morgan partially disrobed in an adjoining garage. Ornelas was nowhere in sight. Mrs. McGinnis then dressed the victim, thinking possibly she might still be alive, and notified authorities. Deputy Coroner Fred Keiper, when he viewed the body at 2 a.

m. said she had been dead for approximately "one and one-half or two hours." Coroner Laurance Layman has ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. apprehended, Ornelas authorized that a sample of his blood could be taken as to the alcoholic content. Chemist E. L.

Randall reported tests showed an alcoholic content of 0.242. Anything above 0.150 is considered intoxicated, Sheriff Young reported. When booked, Ornelas, who is one-half Mexican and one-half In-lian, had 55 cents and an Indian head penny in his possession. He is 35 years of age. Mrs.

Morgan is believed to have been between 65 and 70 year-old. Sheriff Young said this morning the case has been turned over to local Federal Bureau of Investigation authorities since the crime was committed in the Indian Colony, on federal land. An FBI spokesman said this morning that "we have no comment to make other than an intensive investigation is being conducted to determine if a federal violation has been Court Hearing Again Delayed Arraignment of accused killers Frank Pedrini of Santa Rosa and LeRoy Linden of Los Angeles Thursday was postponed for the third time. Their court-appointed attorneys, Leslie Gray and Bruce Thompson, told the court they still haven't had time to study the evidence in the case. Feb.

18 was set as the time for their next appearance in court to enter pleas to a charge of first degree murder. Both men have signed statements admitting they strangled Clarence Morgan Dodd to death cast of here last October. Dodd, a Lancaster, carpenter, was on vacation and had picked up the two ex-convicts while they were ON COMMITTEES Assignment to the education and labor committees in the house of representatives has been given to Nevada's Republican Rep. Clifton Young, above. Young Assigned To Important Groups in House Cliff Young, Nevada's representative in congress, has been named to the important house edu cation and labor committee, it was revealed in Washington today.

This makes Young one of the few freshmen congressmen with two major committee assignments. Less than one-fourth of the total number of members now in con gress are so honored. Young's appointment also brings special distinction to Nevada. Ac cording to the office of the clerk cf the house', this state's freshman representatives have not been thus recognized for a number of years. Besides his new post on the education and labor committee, Young will continue to serve on the house committee on interior and insular affairs.

Matters of particula interest to Nevada are slated for consideration by the education and labor committee in future weeks. The committee has power over all legislation relating to such subjects as child labor, labor standards, wages and hours, mediation and arbitration of labor disputes, school lunch programs, vocational rehabilitation, and welfare of miners. Assistance to schools in federally-Impacted areas and amendments to the Taft-Hartley law will also be under study by the committee in the near future. The house committee on interior and insular affairs has jurisdiction over legislation concerning public lands, irrigation and reclamation, territories and islands, mines and mining, and Indian affairs. BLM Offices Are Replaced Six regional offices of the bureau of land management have been replaced by three new area headquarters in the first step of reorganizing the bureau, the Associated Press reported from Washington.

The new area headquarters will be located in Portland, Salt Lake City and Denver. The area offices replace regional offices in Billings, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Washington, Portland and Salt Lake City.

Galloway and Dudley Kline, 53, Carson, a former state tax commission official, were charged with the crime in a complaint filed in justice court here Wednesday. Kline posted the required bail when he was arrested in Carson two days ago. No date has been set for arraignment or preliminary hearings for either men.

In the complaint, signed by Rob-bins E. Cahill, tax commission secretary and its chief administrative officer, the men are accused of extorting $3000 from Leo Quilici, owner of the El Rancho hotel and the Bullshcad bar in Wells, by threatening to accuse his son of cheating, a violation of Nevada gambling control laws. Meanwhile, the investigation in the case is continuing. Cahill and William Gallagher, gambling control division chief have been in Elko lor two days confering with law enforcement officers. Neither will make their activities public.

Herlong Units To Be Shown HERLONG (Special) Four of the 125 units in the new housing project here will be opened for public inspection this Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1 until 5 o'clock. The housing project, built for rental to Sierra Ordnance Depot employes, has been named Patton Village in honor of the late Gen. George S. Patton, commander of tank battalions during World War II. Out-of-town visitors who wish to inspect the units may receive temporary passes at the depot's entrance gate, according to Col.

G. H. Leavitt, commanding officer of the depot. Refreshments will be served to the visitors during the two afternoons. Interiors of the units on display were decorated by Mrs.
