Dillon, retiring president; Joseph F. McDonald, new Long Record Is Defended By Robison LAS VEGAS Grant Robison, state superintendent of banks, today defended his 25 years of public service in answer to proceedings instituted by Washoe county assemblyman Don Crawford who seeks to remove him from office. Robison has been in Las Vegas for several days ironing out the muddled affairs of the Silver State Savings and Loan Association which 'was placed in receivership by district court order upon recommendation of Robison and Attorney General Harvey Dickerson. NO SURPRISE "It is not surprising to me that Henry Girola has taken this means to remove me from office, but I feel that one of my greatest accomplishments at this point is my successful fight to prevent him from entering the banking fraternity." Robison said when informed that Crawford was represented by Attorney Dale Murphy of Reno. Murphy had served as Girola's attorney in the unsuccessful bid to gain a state banking charter.

"The affairs of Mr. Girola in connection with operation of the American Credit Corporation for the past ten years is a matter of public record," Robison said. Also a comprehensive report on his activities in California prior to his making Nevada his residence was made a part of the hearings before the state board of finance during the hearings on the denial of his application for a bank. NO APOLOGIES "Considering the origin of this charge, I should perhaps not take the time to answer. However, I wish to state that I make no apologies for my conduct in public office during the past 25 years.

And, if I felt that our public officials both state and county believed that I had been derelict in my duties I would immediately tender my resignation to Governor Russell. "I will reserve comment on the issue of personnel and the other allegations until I am able to make them personally before the ways and means committee of the assembly and the finance committee of the senate," Robison added. Control Beard Members Asks For Legislation A top state gaming control official has called on the 1957 legislature to freeze Nevada gambling at its present level for the next two years. The sensational suggestion sure to create furor in what has up to now been a fairly quiet legislative session came from William V. Sinnott, investigating member of the three-man gaming control board.

Sinnott, a former FBI agent and New Jersey newspaper publisher, came to Nevada 20 months ago to take the gaming post after the 1955 legislature stiffened state control of gambling. SENT TO JOHNSON Sinnott's suggestion for a freeze on gambling licenses except for structures already under construction or in advanced planning stages was written to Sen. Kenneth Johnson (R-Ormsby), chairman of a special senate committee formed to look into expansion by Nevada gamblers to other countries where gaming is legal. The committee has indicated it will widen the scope of its inquiry, however. Sinnott's letter opened with the observation that the gambling industry and the state, because of its dependence on gaming, have no assurance of the opinion of congress on adding to national revenues by taxing gambling.

"As our gaming grows, and it will, so will attention to it," he declared. He added: "For this reason I lelieve it imperative that we face now, with the legislature sitting, the question of how far the state intends going in permitting the opening of new casinos. With the answer to this will come, to some extent, the answer to where the state itself is going, a point for sober contemplation." He noted that financially weak or marginal casino operations and those beset by internal management dissension become "vulnerable to many situations injurious to it (gaming), to the public rnd to the state." ONLY SOLUTION "So, after due deliberation," he added, "the only solution I would urgently offer is that the legisla ture freeze licensing at its present level, allowing for structures under construction, or in a determined state of preparedness. "I believe this to be the re sponsibility, and obligation of the present legislature. It can again consider the matter in two years.

"There will be violent objection to this by interests which profit from gaming expansion. I expect them and criticism. There will be objection, also, that this creates a franchise with a money value. "But isn't the public welfare the state's primary concern in this difficult situation, with this being cared for by the selection of those for licensing who conform with what is demanded and conduct themselves accordingly." Sinnott also recommended that the legislature empower the state to step in and operate a gambling house during timas when a fin ancial emergency or management crisis jeopardizes its continuation. He declared also that the rules of evidence should be changed to make it easier to enforce rules against club cheating, and that the law be amended to resolve clearly whether the state has the right to bar from casino employment anyone whose reputation would be a detriment to the gambling industry of the state.

He asserted that Nevada's legal gambling "will go by default" if the state considers only economic factors in its control of gambling. There was no immediate indica tion of whether Sinnott had dis cussed his letter with other mem bers of the gaming board Rob- bins Cahill and William Gallagher or with Gov. Charles Russell. Cahill made the letter public. Smnott himself is in New York.

WANTS TO BUY NEVADA TOWN CARSON CITY, Nev. CYt Anybody have a town for sale? The Robert S. Miller Real Estate Co. of Pasadena, wrote the state department of economic development for such information. It is willing to pay up to 8100,000 for a village, inhabited or otherwise.

New Attendance Record Is Set A record attendance marked the third annual Nevada Feed Conference here Tuesday. The conference sponsored by the Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture, University of Nevada, and the Nevada feed industry, featured speakers from all phases of the feed industry. GIVES RESULTS Dr. Verle R.

Bohman, animal nutritionist at the University of Nevada, gave specific results and recommendations on fattening cattle on a ration containing waste animal fats. His research results showed cattle fattened at a cost of 19.8 cents per pound gain on the ration containing five per cent fat, while a control on an all hay-grain ration cost 24.7 cents per pound to fatten. Dr. Jack Hare of Charles Pfizer and Terre Haute, reported that in 14 trials stilbes-trol implanted cattle gained 2.336 pounds per day, while an unimplanted control group only gained 1.958 pounds. And, a combination use of the hormone and antibiotic give a 17 per cent increase in gain over the control group and a nine per cent increase over the group fed silbes-trol alone.

Sheep showed even more impressive responses to stilbestrol and antibiotics. Dr. Joseph Stein, Nevada's new extension dairy husbandman, discussed economical levels of grain feeding to lactating cows. "Feeding excess grain is an easy way to increase milk production, but may not te eco nomical," Dr. Stein said.

He pointed out that the level of feeding grain is influenced by quality or roughage, ability of cow. and the price-cost "relation ship of grain and milk. BUYING FEED C. L. Hunter of the California state department of agriculture, made seven suggestions on buying feed in his discussion "Looking at What You Buy." They include buying feed in relation to nutritive needs 'and testing the feed under farm or ranch conditions to be sure it does what it is supposed to do.

C. L. Pelissier of the California agricultural extension service reported on rumen stimulants. His data showed that extensive tests to date indicate very little bene fit from the use of commercially prepared rumen inoculants. "Feed itself is the most import ant rumen stimulent," Pelissier said.

"Good feeding of healthy animals is the basis of a good feeding program." Feed Parley MeTd in Reno FROM CAPITOL BUREAU Reno Newspapers, Inc. Lawmakers who would com ment today presented neutral or opposition views to a recom mendation from William Sinnott, gaming control lxard member, who asked for a moratorium on gambling licenses. Sinnott's views were contained in a letter delivered this morning to Sen. Kenneth F. Johnson, chairman of a special senate gambling investigation commit tee.

GRAVE DOUBTS He expressed grave doubts about the future of legal gambling if the industry does not become more stable. The letter, while creating little imimediate outward reaction ied the special senate committee to decide that all gaming control board members, and representa tives of the Nevada Tax CommiS' sion would be asked for their views on whether licensing' should be restricted. Senator Johnson would sAy only that he "was happy to have a gaming board member be so forthright. We are fortunate to have his views on the record." TRANKLIX OPFOSED Assemblyman George Franklin, who is preparing a bill to return gambling to city and county con trol expressed immediate opposi tion to a moratorium. "It is ridiculous to freeze licensing for two years in a state where an industrial boom can occur at any time," he said.

Franklin added he did not be- l'eve that the state board could possibly determine the economic status of every corner of the far flung state. He added the popula tion conceivably could double in a few years. SET THE LEVELS Sen. B. Mahlon Brown (D-Clark) repeated an 'earlier state ment he was opposed to gambling license limits because he believes competition would set the levels.

He added that he always has believed more stress should be placed on the financial responsi. unties of gaming license appli cants. Senator Brown said he respected Sinnott's judgment and ihat he had raised a lot of questions "which I hope can be answered in future appearances before the senate gambling committee." Brown is a member of the group. Tax Commission Appeal Rejected The state supreme court Thursday served notice it intended to dismiss the appeal of the state tax commission from a temporary restraining order preventing revo cation of Waldorf Club gambling licenses on grounds the question had become moot. Ned A.

Turner, court clerk, re ported attorneys representing the small downtown Reno club and the tax commission had been ordered to appear Feb. 28 to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed. The tax commission ordered slot machine and gambling licenses held by the club revoked several months ago on grounds of cheating. The club immediately obtained the restraining order and the case w-as carried to the high court. The Waldorf subsequently closed its doors because of "lack of business" and the city council this week rejected an application for a gambling license by a new operator.

The supreme court said this indicated the city council did not intend to permit gambling in that location in the future. Fog. Conditions Continue Here There may be more fog in the Truckee Meadows tonight, the weatherman says.

Swanson, 1137 Jones told police he parked his car at Virgfnia street and Commercial Row and returned to discover three hubcaps valued at 544 ten. Green (D-Kl) today intro duced a bill to repeal the mandatory silver purchase act, under which the treasury must purchase all domestic silver offered to it, regardless of need. Six other senators joined in sponsoring the bill.

HOLDS SURPLUS In a senate speech, Green said the treasury has accumulated nearly two billion ounces of sil ver. He said the bill offered by him and Sens. Bush (R-Conn), Douglas (D-Ill), Kennedy (D-Mass), Pastore (D-RI), Pur tell (R-Conn) and Saltonstall (R-Mass) "will bring to an end certain un sound monetary practices. "The silver purchase laws re quire the treasury to print and issue paper money to pay for the silver purchased, regardless of the need for such paper money. Only a portion of the silver pur chased is set aside as backing for these paper dollars and this sil ver is arbitrarily valued at $1.29 per ounce.

The real value of such silver is the market value currently around 91 cents per ounce." TO END SUBSIDY Green said the bill would end the subsidy and support price "which is paid to the producers of copper, lead and zinc regard less of need. "It will permit a free and open market for silver instead of the present mandatory purchases of domestic silver which permit control of the silver market by foreign interests." A similar bill got nowhere in the last congress. Green said opponents "relied on delaying tactics to prevent passage."

Murphy represented Henry Girola of Reno, injured in the downtown blast and fires Feb. 5, in an unsuccessful attempt to ob tain a state banking license for the proposed Citizens Bank of Reno. Robison denied the application and later was upheld by the state board of finance after lengthy hearings.

FAILURE CLAIMED Robison was charged with fail ure during the calendar years 1955 or 1956 to perform audits of 14 of Nevada's 17 counties. He was further accused of failing to hire additional personnel for his office despite an increased appropriation from the 1955 legislature for this purpose. Murphy said Robison had declared he was unable to obtain qualified workers from the state personnel department but had in fact been furnished six men by that department. The attorney further charged Robison had been authorized to hire two additional workers outside of classified serv ice by the last legislative session but this had not been done until the first of this year. LOSS IS ALLEGED The complaint also charged that because of lack of audit, the state had lost $25,256 after a dis- crepency was discovered in the ac counts of the Elko county assessor early in 1955.

The action asked District Judge Frank Gregory to schedule a hearing on the matter within 20 days and that Robison be deprived of his office if the allegations are found to be true.

Community Chest Hea By McDon Unanimously elected president of the Reno-Sparks Community Chest Wednesday evening was Joseph F. McDonald, former president of Reno Newspapers, Inc. McDonald was elected by the nine-man board of directors at the 15th annual Community Chest dinner held in the Nevada Room of the Mapes Hotel.

More than 50 persons attended the dinner which was termed one of the most enthusiastic and well attended of any dinner in Com munity Chest history. Other officers elected included, Jordan J. Crouch, vice president; Forest B. Lovelock, treasurer and Mrs. Leslie Gray of Sparks, secre tary.

McDonald praised the chest's 1956 campaign which "did exactly what we w-anted the Community Chest to do when it was organized 15 years ago. It is a community project and I will do all I can to see that this trend is continued." Retiring president Kenneth P. Dillon termed the 195S campaign the most successful in Reno history and lauded Crouch and Lovelock for their organizational work in the 1956 drive. Both McDonald and Dillon welcomed the addition of Sparks representation to the slate of officers and on the board of directors. At the conclusion of the meeting McDonald called for a rising vote of thanks to retiring president Dillon and executive direc tor Edith P.

Haley for "the out standing job they did in aidin, the campaign organization." Vote to Sen. George W. Malone said today the U.S. Senate appropriations committee has voted to restore $30 million for the purchase of tr.nston end 'Mv ratc.tic minerals which was stricken by the house recently from a supplemental money bill concerning the minerals buying program. The deficiency appropriation bill is expected to be reported out of committee today and will be considered by the senate early next week, Malone said.

In a prepared statement last week before the appropriation committee, Malone pointed out the danger in omitting funds to continue the tungsten purchasing program through June. An appropriation of $21 million passed' last July by congress for strategic minerals purchase through this June was exhausted early last December, and Malone that" an additional appropriation is mandatory if domestic producers are to continue to operate. The Nevada senator stressed the importance of such critical minerals as tungsten during wartime and peace time alike. He said the economic soundness of the nation's entire mining industry is threatened without further gov-. ornmeniai purcnasing.
