More than 160 delegates were registered at the Pacific area meeting of the National Association ft Soil Conservation Districts, according to Francis C. Lindsay, national vice president, including IL'O district supervisors, and mot of those delegates were on hand this morning to endorse Iwtii resolution and letter. The resolution stated, in part "We believe that the Soil Conservation Districts are being et- i fectively pushed into the back-! ground by the present policy of the Department of Agriculture in respect to conservation of our "We feel that it is the intent of the department to turn over to the extension service, in part or in it- entirety, the work heretolore formed by the Soil Conservation Service."

1 Meet County tax rates will be set by the Nevada Tax Commission in Carson Oct. 1. Washoe county's tax problem will be considered at that time, with the commission expected to shave the county. City of Reno, and school district No. 10 requests to bring the combined local rate within the $5 ceiling imposed by the state constitution.

RATES TOO HIGH At last report, the combined local rate totaled $5.21 with the county seeking $2,025, the city and school district 1.25 each. The state's share of each $100 in assessed valuation is 69 cents. The commission has faced the same problem in pastyears. The usual method of trimming the local requests has been to impose an equal cut on the local political subdivisions. Clark county may also present the commission with an oer-the-ceiling local rate problem, it was indicated.

The commission mopped up a series of appeals for relief from local tax assessments Monday at the final meeting as a board of equalization. TAXATION Southern Pacific Railroad's appeal from an $80,150 assessment on Plaza street property imposed by Washoe county was successful. The railroad argued before the state board of equalization that the land was included in the state valuation and the Washoe levy amounted to double taxation. The Washoe assessment was ordered dropped. Western Union's appeal for a cut in assessed value from $350,000 to $216,000 was rejected.

Also rejected were appeals of the Western Pacific Railroad and the Pioche Power and Light for assessed value reductions. Virginia and Truckee Transit which had protested an $18,000 assessed valuation on its property and equipment, dropped its appeal before the final board session, it was announced. Reductions in assessed valuations were granted as follows: Panaca Power and Light from $11,000 to $9500. Ernest Pechstein, Pahrump Valley acreage, from $18,960 to Thomas Beam, Las Vegas, lots in various subdivisions reduced from $700 valuations to $460 to conform with surrounding building sites. (A Beam request for a reduction of a $37,959 valuation on acreage was denied).

Barney Peterson, Carson, from $9750 to $5910 in assessment of a concrete firm he operates. Jack Douglass and L. Benetti, Town Hall Club, Tonopah, from $16,454, to $14,174. WIPE OUT BOOST The commission also approved a petition from Lindsay Smith of the Toiyabe Supply and the Standard Slag to wipe out the 20 per cent flat increase imposed by Nye county upon the Gabbs school district on the ground that the increased levy constituted inequal taxation within the county. The Nye county board of equalization also granted Basic Refractories, at Gabbs a $283,000 reduction in the assessed value of a kiln.

"Smith also protested this reduction. This reduction was set aside by the state board of equalization, whjch allowed five per cent of the kiln's assessed valuation of as the depreciation figure. Walter Larsh, Carson commission member, had recommended that 10 per cent of assessed value of the kiln be allowed as the reduction. He opposed the cut to five per cent for depreciation. The increase of 20 per cent in the Gabbs school district could have amounted to $247,000 in assessed valuation.

By granting the $39,150 depreciation reduction on the kiln, compared with the $283,000 approved by the county board of equalization, the state board allowed the county and the school district to retain approximately the same taxation base to meet school and county government costs. Basic Refractories total assessed valuation in 1952 was $920,894.09 and the state board action placed it at $997,070 for 1953. Death Summons Ralph Mather Ralph Mather, long-time Reno resident, died today at a local hospital where he had been a patient for the last two weeks. Born in Warren. Ohio, Mr.

Mather owned the Mattress factory in Reno for a number of years. For the last eight years he "had been employed by the bank club. He made his home at 537 West Third St. Surviving are his widow. Mrs.

Vegas Strip Resort Hotels Get Licenses Two proposed resort hotels on the Las Vegas strip were granted gambling licenses Monday by the Nevada Tax Commission. Thf planned hostelries Include the Casa Blanca, to cost S3.500.000, and the Sunrise, which will cost 52,500,000. Licensees in the Casa Blanca are David and Myer Gensburg, retired Chicago pinball machine manufacturers and now home builders in Beverly Hills, each 15 per cent; R.

H. Bailey, New York contractor, 10 per cent; Arthur (Harpo) Marx and Gummo Marx, of the Marx Brothers theatrical team, 15 and 30 per cent respectively; Jack Goldman, Miami, restaurant operator, 10 per cent; Harry Rob-bin, Los Angeles resident who formerly operated bingo parlors in southern California beach resorts, 15 per cent; Murray Saul, Miami real estate operator, 10 per cent; Nate Schlaifer, casino general manager, who will be paid a salary and a percentage of profits. He now is a pit boss in a Las Vegas gaming establishment. SOLE LICENSEE Frank Fishman, hotel owner in California and Texas, was the sole licensee in the Sunrise Hotel. The Casa Blanca is to be constructed at Race Track road and highway 91 on the strip.

The will be erected on a portion of 62 acres of land Fishman owns north of the Hotel Last Frontier. The Casa Blanca Hotel is to be constructed by a landlord group which includes David Lou and Myer Gensburg, Lou Halpern, and California contractor and Weldon Beckett. The licensees, known as the operating group, will run the hotel and casino, paying the landlord group ST80.000 a year rental. The Gensburg brothers own the land on which the hotel is to be constructed. ishman, according to his attorney, Louis Weiner of Las Vegas, is putting up his own capital for the Sunrise hotel construction, and plans to borrow "several hundred thousand dollars" from a Los Angeles bank.

He is the former owner of the F-akersfield Inn, in Bakersfield, the Olympic hotel in San Francisco, the Blue Bonnet Hotel In Sweetwater, and the Country Club Hotel in Los Angeles. He now owns the Mayan Hotel in Los Angeles. Weiner said that Fishman has nad no experience in gambling and may decide to employ a casino manager, or he may lease the gaming portion of the enterprise. Paul McDermott, commissioner from Las Vegas, said he did not believe the commission should issue the license without knowing who -as to be in charge of the gambling. Other commissioners argued, nowever, that since Fishman had a clean record and was applying for the license in his own name, the is-ue should be decided on the merits of the applicant.

The vote to grant the Sunrise license was unanimous. The tax commission also approved a license for 165 slot machines at the Las Vegas park race track. Lou Smith, president of the Las Vegas Jockey Club, track operators, said that the slot machines were requested so that the club could "maintain the continued high standards of racing as advertised." Commissioner Robert A. Allen opposed the request on the ground that "they want to make a gambling joint out of the race track." Allen cast the lone dissenting vote. In other license actions, the commission approved the following requests: Desert Club, Reno, 140 Airport road (the old Normandie), Tony J.

Gallerani, Gerome C. Cornell, Desert Club (Mike Batesel end Leonard Truskalowski). Embassy Club. North Las Vegas, William P. Borden, 49 per cent interest.

Club Jubilee, Reno (Pleasant Valley) William Elio, Relio, Albert and Roy Pagni, two poker games. Sands hotel. Las Vegas, Nathaniel Green. New York women's clothing manufacturer, three per cent. $90,000.

Topaz Lodge games. Gardner-ville. Richard M. Northcott and Harry W. Lauritson.

The commission denied the application of Howard and Jerry Brooks and Joe Cohen for the Pa-tto, Las Vegas. of 'a decision. The jury took the case late yesterday afternoon. Meanwhile, in the county jail, Mrs. Graham was reported by jail matrons to be showing signs of tension.

"My skin feels all knotted up," Barbara was quoted. "Now it begins waiting, waiting, always waiting. Why did this have to happen to me?" Mrs. Graham, who suffered a sprained back in an Aug. 19 fall en route to the courtroom, underwent her customary 15-minute diathermy treatment.

In addition, she also was having her reddish blonde hair touched up. Yesterday she switched her hairdo from the severe bun style to curls pilW on top. The defendants are accused of beating the elderly crippled widow to death in her Burbank home last March 5. The state contends the robbery gang thought $100,000 was hidden there. Judges Hold Meet in Reno Judges from 11 of the 12 judicial districts in Nevada and the three state supreme court jurists are winding up a two-day session today in the courtroom of Judge A.

J. Maestretti. During the meeting they have discussed various rules of judicial procedure and suggested changes.

Ledger of Trinity Episcopal church, clergyman. Burial will be in Mountain View cemetery- Picket Line Drewn Around Vegas Track LAS VEGAS. Charges of "labor piracy" were hurled at the business agent of the Operating Engineers here today as the business agent of the Teamsters local branded as illegal a picket line which has been set up around the Las Vegas race track. William Carter, business agent of the Teamsters, claimed the picket line which was started late Monday afternoon by Local 12 of the Operating Engineers was "just another in a series of attempts at piracy throughout Southern Nevada by Ted Lawson, business agent of the Engineers." Carter said the dispute was not confined to the track alone, but also to the ten million dollar depot construction work now underway near Nellis Air base. He said there was also the possibility it would spread to ot her local projects.

Carter said the picket line was set up over a jurisdictional dispute concerning the termination of 16 workers at the track last week. Six of the men were members of the Operating Engineers while 10 were members of the Laborers Local. Carter said all of the group had been employed by the McNeil Construction company but that their jobs had been terminated when certain construction work was completed. The dispute arose after completion of construction and an attempt was made to change over jurisdiction from the Operating Engineers to the Stationary Engineers both members of the same international organization who reportedly will handle maintenance work at the park which is slated to reopen this weekend. "Lawson is trying to force the track to pay construction wages for maintenance work," Carter declared.

"Such would be without any justification." Approximately 50 union workers at the track left their jobs when the picket lines went up, it was reported. This, however, is not expected to delay the scheduled track reopening on Saturday since virtually all but the installation of the new totalizator system has been completed. Electricians employed by the American Totalizator company are said to work under an agreement that they must complete the job once it is started.

Two Men Held For Susanville Held in the Washoe county jail for Lassen county authorities are two men said to be wanted for questioning in connection with an armed robbery of a roadhouse near Susanville shortly before four I o'clock this morning. Washoe county Sheriff C. W. Young has identified the two men in custody as Wilbur Doyne Mc-Creary, 27, of North Las Vegas, and Phillip Norman Flagg, 37, of 1002 Forest Reno. Washoe county sheriff's deputies were notified of the armed robbery by Susanville authorities shortly after four o'clock this morning and McCreary and Flagg were ap-prehened by deputies and Reno police less than an hour later near the Mausoleum north of town.

Both men denied complicity in the robbery. In their car when arrested, were S35 in dimes, $330 in cash and two i pistols, deputies said today. According to Susanville authorities, taken in the armed robbery was "more than $100." Lassen county deputies said warrants would "probably be is- sued this afternoon" and witnsses are expected to come to Reno later today to question Flagg and McCreary. CAR KILLS HORSE Killed when struck by a car on Airport road about midnight was a horse, property of Perle Willa-man. Driver of the car which struck the horse was Mark H.

Harrison, 65. of 411 Mill St, according to Washoe county sheriffs deputies investigating. i Opening its 19th season, the Reno Little Theater presented "Mr. Roberts" to a capacity crowd in its enlarged Sierra street playhouse Monday night. The story-of the wanderings of a navy supply ship to remote Pacific islands during World War Two provides a fitting curtain raiser for what can be expected to be a bigger and better program for the local dramatics group.

ENLARGED STAGE Vastly enlarged and improved stage facilities including a circular platform to facilitate handling of sets have made it possible to stage a play so exacting as Mr. Roberts and it will enhance the Little Theater's ability to step into more expansive productions in the future. Sound effects have been improved with the installation of a modern control panel and the acoustics of the hall are now of top quality. Most of the members of the opening night audience made a tour of the new part of the building after they had given Director Edwin Semenza a standing ovation following the final curtain call. Both the ovation and the tour are decidedly novelties.

As far as "Mr. Roberts" is concerned, the play will rank with the successes among the 108 major productions of Reno Little Theater, and, ushering in a new era for the group as it does, is top caliber dramatics. It will have a two weeks run, a record, and the Little Theater board need have no fear that the hall won't be jammed nightly. Many first nighters are already planning to see the play over again later in the Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan, the playwrights, have woven into "Mr. Roberts" an authentic portrayal of life aboard a navy cargo ship, and Director Semenza has assembled a noteworthy cast to bring each of the characters to life, while the stage crew has added to the wealth of the play by creating settings to round out the complete picture.

"Mr. Roberts" has been in rehearsal for many weeks, but the long days of effort paid off in a smooth opening night performance which smacked of the professional. The play hits a fast pace at the outset and doesn't falter anywhere, and this cast goes through its paces without a stumble. There has been much speculation since it was announced that the group planned to do "Mr. Roberts" Two Burglaries Are Investigated Two burglaries, one involving Newman's Silver Shop at 120 West Second are being investigated today by Reno detectives.

Taken from the show windiw of Newman's store between 5:40 and 6:30 a. m. Monday was assorted jewelry, including silver belts, bracelets and cigarette cases, valed at $286. The burglar obtained the jewelry by breaking a large hole in the plate glass window. Peter Deprati has filed a report with police that his home at 31 Mary St.

was entered between 9:30 a. m. and 5:43 p. m. Monday and that two watches and $62 in cash were taken by the thieves.

The cash included 200 pennies and he watches, a Waltham and Longine, are valued at $150 by the owner. over possibility rf emasculating scenes and lines which some theater goers might find objectionable. But there has been no cutting, and the fact that the audience heartily approved of the many salty lints is a tribute both to its own receptive-ness and the good judgment of the producers. The story 'of "Mr. Roberts" is familiar to anyone who ever served in the navy and the central characters have been expertly developed; Lt.

(jg) Roberts, an able cargo officer who has the whole hearted affection and admiration of the crew but who longs for combat duty; the ambitious captain, absolute monarch who is able to keep himself roundly hated; Ensign Pul-ver, sack hound supreme who has counterparts on any Navy ship; the philosophical Navy doctor, and the sailors who are like all seamen who ever sailed on navy ships. CAST IS STRONG Edward Stevlingson as Mr. Roberts, John Bartlett as Doc. Joseph as the captain, Mel Mat bow-son as Ensign Pulver hold down the main roles and if there have ever been any more faithful portrayals of characters in local Little Theater annals they do not come readily to mind. Cast in strong supporting roles are David A.

Caldwater 3s Dowdy, George Taylor as Chief Johnson, Steele Houx as Dolan. Outstanding scenes in the play are numerous, one in which Roberts has a showdown with the captain and finally gets the crew a liberty will be remembered for a long time. So will the return of the crew from its liberty complete with goat, a battle royal staged on the quarterdeck, and a scene in which several of the same battlers put the spyglass on nurses' quarters on a nearby island. Contributing lifelike performances in the latter two are Arthur Stedman as Insigna, Richard Bissf tt as Mannion. Roy Bolla as Lind-strom, Joe Battaglia as Stefabow-ski.

Charles Chester as Wiley, Jerry Galarneau as Schlemmer, Jack Trendler as Reber, Joe Barrett as Gerhart, Reggie Mason as Payne. Amy Levy, as Lt. Ann Girard, army nurse with the nickname "Red Label" is the only woman in the play and her appearance is brief, but she, like the men in the play, is very convincing. Howard Levy as a navy shore patrolman admiring his fellow seamen, James Glynn as a military policeman, John Furrh as a navy shore patrol officer and Richard Cromwell, George Bennett and Benny Crowell as seamen, round out the notable cast. The Litle Theater borrowed a good many of its props, including Navy insignia, from local residents and the goat, which made only a brief appearance and spoke no lines, was likewise out on loan but wearing an identification tag.

Staff members assisting Director Semenza include Wallace McPhail, business manager; Bill James, technical director; Howard Levy, stage manager; Ed Loomis, lighting; Fred Davis, sound; Eleanor Haines, script; Barbara Jo Douglas, publicity; Pat Welty and Eleanor Haines, properties; Bill James, Howard Levy, Edward Stevlingson, Eleanor Haines, Jack Trendler. Fern Peterson, settings; Blanche Clark, usher and lounge chairman and Dale Fowler, Allan Beers, Roy Strawn and Ed Loomis, lectricians. An exhibit of commercial art by Ray Ward, Hal Jenkins and Mel Mathewson is on display in the lounge..
