They are president, vice president and secretary-treasurer respectively of the Last Frontier.

Katleman, owner and operator of the Hotel El Rancho Vegas, owns 1010 share of Hotel Last Frontier stock, or about 21 per cent. Although the remaining 3990 shares of the hotel's stock are listed under the ownership of the Koz-loffs and Randolph, Katleman charges they actually have "assigned" large portions of their holdings to other, undisclosed individuals. Katleman poirted out that th? practice of having undisclosed in the of a gaming establishment is in violation cf the state tax regulations. He said in the suit that he has reason to believe the tax commission is presently investigating the situation and that by allowing the "undisclosed partners" to hold such interests in the hotel, the board of directors is endangering the whole future of the enterprise. Katleman said those who now hold or have held such interests include Louis Lesser, Los Angeles oilman; Arthur Brick, former Las Vegas motion picture theater own er; Hy Widrcss and Robert Kroloff, both of Las Vegas; Harry Cohn of Denver; William Hartment, Isa-dore Minker, not identified by ad dress; Herman Hover, owner of Ciros in Hollywood; Charles Spell-man, Jules James, Dave Bright, Milton Stevens and Oscar Pattis, all of southern California.

Katleman also charged the board with jeopardizing the financial well being of the hotel with a two million dollar expansion to be known as the the ".832 Frontier." He said the board went into the construction program without first obtaining the loan needed to finance the work and when the project is completed there will be no ready funds with which to pay for the work. Katleman also claims the board had anticipated a Joan from "Grif fith Interests" but that they do not intend to go through with the loan. These interests sold the property to the corporation, and still hold an encumberance of $2,200,000. He also charged that gambling casino funds are being improperly han dled. katlpman says also that the board has permitted employes to become indebted to the hotel in large amounts on "hold" checks or I-O-U slips to cover gambling losses.

Katleman said he has been denied the right to see the hold or I-O-U slips. He said also that the board has failed to hold annual stockholders meetings as previ ously agreed upon. Excessive salaries ar being paid to members of the board which also add to the financial hardships of the hotel. Katleman charged The suit, which was filed in the court of Judge Frank McN'amee by the law firm of Hawkins and Can non, asks the court to order a full accounting of the hotel's assets and that all the money "wrongfully appropriated, by the board be charged to members individually. The suit asks also that the board be removed immediately and the court appoint a new board of direc tors to take control of the enterprise, and that the Kozloffs and Randolph be restrained from hav ing any further control over the organization.

Advsed of the sut. Jacob Kozloff said he and the other members of the board would deny c-'egorically the allegations made by Katleman and that "Katleman has been threatening something like this since he was voted out as president of the board a year ago." Kozloff said he believed the suit was riled to harass the notei ana that it is most unreasonable com ing from a competitor." Whisky, Peanuts Taken From Bar Nine bottles of whiskey, ten bags of peanuts and $35 in small change were taken in the burglary of the Temptation Bar early Friday mor ning, Washoe "county sheriff's deputies were told by Louis Terrana, proprietor of the South Virginia road establishment.
