Andersen's appointment was madr public today in an announcement by Jordan J. Crouch, general campaign chairman.

Rather Andersen is working to organize a unit composed of" solicitors who will contact the various locals for official action on making dona tions to the chest. "The working man is excep tionally cognizant of the service provided by the 12 agencies of Community Chest," he said accenting the post, and I am confident that organized labor will shoulder its share of the burden of maintaining these serv ices to the Reno-Sparks area. It is for this reason that I am happy to accept the task of con tacting our various locals and approaching them with the problem faced by Community Chest. I can promise they will not be found wanting. Young Schedules Visits in State Rep.

First dial X- I- II The president of the Stardust Hotel Corp. told federal court today that the big Las Vegas luxury hotel's financial structure does not have to be reorganized. The statement was filed by Louis C. Stralla, brother of the late gambler-promoter Tony Cor-nero Stralla, in answer to a petition by four creditors seeking reorganization of the hotel under the federal bankruptcy act. The creditors claimed the corporation's construction capital has been depleted to the poinl where the hotel biggest on the Las Vegas Strip cannot be completed.

In addition, they listed more than $2,000,000 creditors suits pending against the hotel in Las Vegas courts. Stralla replied to the petition with the assertion that the corporation needs $1,200,000 to complete construction and that it can obtain the money through normal channels. In addition, three of the four creditors seeking reorganization actually have no claims, he said, because they agreed to accept stock instead of cash for their services and the hotel is able to issue the stock. Thus, he argued, the federal court has no jurisdic tion because the law requires creditors filing such a petition to have debts totaling $5,000 or more.
