On the question of wages, Harmon said, the union drivers 'refused to consider anything but a 12 per cent increase. "The operators offered a 7 per cent increase but this was turned down," Harmon declared. "In the last six years the drivers' wages have been increased 31 per cent." Motor lines affected by the strike include the Nevada California Transportation, Mayes Fast Freight, which operates between Reno and Yerington, Valley Motor lines, Nevada Trucking formerly the Hiskey lines, operating between here and Ely, Western Local operations of seven truck lines were at a standstill today as truck drivers, members of the AFL teamsters' union, went on strike. Pick-up delivery service in Reno, as w'ell as within a 10-mile radius of Reno, was halted. Freight could not be hauled from truck depots and warehouses, and shipments could not be picked up for delivery to the truck lines.

According to Harley Harmon, secretary of the Nevada Motor Transport association, the truck drivers went on strike when their demand for a wage increase of 12 per cent was turned down by the operators.

HUNTING WITH DOGS BRINGS DEER HUNTER INTO JUSTICE COURT giving dinerent names, he said. The Sparks selective service board had a similar experience with a youth who registered for the draft at the railroad city in 1942. His name is no longer on file with the board, because the case against him was abandoned after the FBI traced him from an Oregon draft board to a European battlefield.

Clerks at the Sparks board said they do not remember the names he used, but that for some inexplicable reason he gave a different name after leaving Nevada and signing up with the Oregon board. As in the case of Spencer, this youth was under draft age when he registered at Sparks. He gave his true age and name upon registering in Oregon, and by that time selective service had begun drafting 18-year-olds. Shortly afterward, he volunteered for the army, was trained for the infantry at Ft. Lewis, and sent to Europe.

When he registered at Sparks three years ago, he was employed at a ranch near that city. He worked there only three days, then moved away without leaving a forwarding address. As a result, the FBI spent many months tracing him, finally locating him through descriptions at the Oregon draft board. Attorney Named To Defend Driver Grant L. Bowen, who returned to Reno from two years of army service only last Saturday, was appointed counsel for A.

R. Murphy in district court here yesterday. Murphy, charged with involuntary manslaughter, will enter his plea Nov. 13. He asked for court-appointed counsel when he was arraigned before Judge A.

J. Maestretti Wednesday. Joyle M. Lawson, Fallon navy air base sailor, was killed last month when the car in which he was riding ran into the rear of Murphy's parked truck near the McCarran ranch on highway 40. Japs Settled At Camp Kohler SACRAMENTO, Nov.

Eighteen evacuees moved into the camp yesterday and the balance will arrive before the end of November, WRA officials said. They will be housed at the camp until they find other living quarters. Dr.

James Matthew Hartsock, 30, Fernley physician, was scheduled to answer a hit-and-run charge in the municipal court this afternoon as a result of an automobile accident on East Fourth st. Thursday night. He was arrested after the car- he allegedly was driving crashed with a sedan, upsetting the latter vehicle on the highway in front of the Arcadia auto court. Escaping injury in the overturned car were Guy D. Wright of Halin, its driver, Wright's wife and two other passengers, the police reported.

Investigating officers asserted the Fernley doctor left the scene of the accident and stopped about a quarter of a mile east. Dr. Hart-stock stated, they said, that he had gone ahead to telephone for assistance. The officers reported a telephone was available at the scene of the crash. Wright told the police he was driving east and was making a left hand turn into the outo court when the physician's car hit the left side of his sedan in attempting to pass him.

The crash upset Wright's car, which war resting on its top on the roadway when officers arrived. Hartsock's car received damage on the front. The accident occurred at about 6:45 o'clock, and the doctor was arrested at 7:10 o'clock, then released on $300 bail to face the hit-run charge today. Also arrested on a traffic law violation charge was an Indian rancher named as Avery Winne-mucca, 42. He was booked for reckless driving after the car police said he was driving Thursday afternoon hit the rear of an automobile owned by Gerald Evans of 342 East Ninth causing considerable damage.

Winnemucca was taken into cus-today at First and Lake sts. Bail was set at $100 for his appearance in the municipal court Saturday morning. Three Return From Europe Scheduled to arrive today at Boston on the SS Gen. George Goethals was T-5 Peter T. Arrizu-bietta of Eureka.

The charge was brought by Al Delmue and Alexander was arrested this A five-year search for 'Tommy Ryan," wanted as a draft evader after registering with the Carlin selective service board in 1940, ended in Denver on Thursday. Tommy Ryan, it developed, was an assumed name for Archie J.

Spencer, suspected of being a draft dodger. But when the youth who registered at the eastern Nevada board was arraigned in federal court in Denver on Thursday and his true name was learned, it was discovered he wore the purple heart and three battle stars on his European theater ribbons. When war hero Spencer's identity was established in the court, the draft-evading charge against him was dismissed. The Associated Press reported from Denver that District Attorney Thomas J. Mor-rissey said Spencer registered at Carlin as Tommy Ryan before he was of the age to be called, giving his home address as Littleton, and that the FBI had been looking for him ever since.

Spencer registered again in October, 1942, under his correct name, was called to service and later given a medical discharge for wounds received in Europe. Col. Norman C. Brown, director of selective service in Nevada, reported from Carson today that Spencer's case is not unusual in this state and others.

Clark's complaint charges his partners, the Guzzardi brothers, Joe and Walter, with misappropriation of funds, no accounting of funds, and continued violations of OPA regulations.

Victim of the theft was Mrs. Elsie Bryden of Long Beach, who left for her southern California home without her suitcase and the clothing in it. Meehan was unable to produce the stolen cuitcase and clothing, but today turned over to the police $100 in currency to make up for the loss of Mrs.

Dryden's property. The money, officers declared, was provided by the prisoner after he was given the ultimatum of paying up or being prosecuted for grand larceny. They added that the $100 would be sent to the Long Beach woman immediately.

AR I ET "SrSVf. mew packages Perfnm Cologne 1.15; Sachet 2.50; Truck lines, Oregon-California- "Webster's definition of hound applied to dogs is a dog of any breed used in the chase.

"The word hound may be combined with another word to specify a certain breed, such as foxhound, greyhound, staghound, etc, but the word as used in the Nevada statute clearly prohibits the use of a dog of any breed in the hunting of big game in this state." The question of hunting deer with dogs in Nevada has long been a subject of hot debate among the sportsmen. Those who believed it was legal contended the statute specified "hound" and that it was therefore legal to use other breeds of dogs in the chase. Washoe county hunters have been warned by wardens several times thus season that they will be arested if found using dogs to hunt deer, and county game enforcement officials said today that such arrests will continue until the season closes.
