Several truckloads of merchandise prizes, will also be given away as a feature of the evening program. The customary inauguration of "Greater Fourth Street's" own city government will take place and at least one member of the so-called "city government" will be given a bath in water from Fouth street's own section of the Truckee river.

Fourth street's own elections were held in traditional secrecy last week and to the utter amazement of all, Harold Rolf-ing was swept into the office of mayor by a landslide. Candidates for these offices are never aware of their own candidacy, a Fourth street custom reputedly designed to keep elections clean and honest. Other members of the government, including council and commissions of public safety, public morals, harbors, parks and playgrounds will be announced later. Merchants of Reno and Sparks and other communities bordering on Greater Fourth street are being asked to deliver their and gifts to the Crane company warehouse.

Meeting Called For Formation Of Fire District Commissioners of three western Nevada counties will meet here Friday night to set the 1951 tax rate for the Clarke-McNary fire district and to prepare a budget for the district for the coming year. The meeting has been called by Louis D. Ferrari, who as state surveyor general, also heads the state's forester fire warden's office, and Don Drummond, assistant forester fire warden, for asunty commissioners of Washoe, Ormsby and Douglas. NO TAX MONEY Although the Clarke-McNary fire district, which furnishes fire protection to some 255,000 acres of range and timber land in the three counties, is in operation at present, no tax monies have been received. The names of approximately 1000 property-owners in the district will be placed on the 1951 rolls, and the first tax payments made in De cember.

Since it was set up the first of the vear. the district has operated on funds contributed by the three counties, the state and the federal government. SPEND S30.000 The 1952 budget, which will be prepared this week," is expected to list total expenditures of around $30,000, officials of the district said. Collections from taxpayers in the district will be matched by the three counties involved, and the total of those two sums in turn will be matched by the federal government from Clarke-McNary funds. The meeting here is to be held in tire warehouse of the Toiyabe forest service on East Second st.

Miss Nevada Visits in Utah Miss Nevada, Donna Sollars, returned to Reno this morning from a brief visit to Salt Lake City. Miss Nevada was in company with a stagecoach caravan, which rolled into the Utah capital Monday to advertise the Nevada Fair of Industry at Ely.

Special Session IJ IQIICU 1UI Tax Commission Gaming License For New Owners Of Strip Hotel What has all. the earmarks of a hastily-called, unprecedented special meeting of the Nevada tax commission will come off in Carson Wednesday. The governor's office this morning confirmed circulated reports in Carson and in Las Vegas that the commission would go into ses- sion in Carson Wednesday. REAL REASON And the real reason, apparently, for the hurry-up meeting is this: The more than $5,000,000 Last Frontier hotel in Las Vegas reportedly is in the process of being sold to a trio of Las Vegas gamblers, Guy McAfee, Jake Koz-loff and Belden Kattleman.

The former two have been identified as major stockholders in the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, and the latter is said to hold an interest in the El Rancho. All three men were in Carson Monday and conferred with Gov. Charles Russell, chairman of the Nevada tax commission. As reports go, the three want to know definitely if the Nevada tax commission will grant them a state license to operate games in the swank, southern Nevada resort. Sources say they must have a decision prior to Sept.

1 when flie deal is supposed to be cul minated. Also figuring in the contemplated transaction is William Moore, executive director of the Last Frontier and who was a member of the Nevada tax commission under the administration of former Gov. Vail Pittman. Moore was replaced on the board after Gov. Russell took office.

'REGULAR' MEETING Gov. Russell said this morning that a meeting of the commission has been called, but he insisted it was a "regular" and not a "special" session. He pointed to the fact that the commission has to pass on bullion tax receipts during the month of August and that the meeting is being called for that purpose as well as to discuss other matters. However, earlier in the month it was generally understood that the commission would not meet in August inasmuch as members would sit as the state board of equalization for two full weeks early in September. And further adding credence that the meeting is being called especially to discuss impending sale of the Last Frontier is the fact that member Goi'don Latrop of Ely will not be present, being on vacation.

And it is doubtful whether Paul McDermott of Las Vegas will be able to attend. R. W. Cahill, secretary of the commission, could not be reached for comment this morning. The governor said that Henry Rives of Reno, Norman Brown of Yerington, D.

W. Parks of Gard-ncrville and R. A. Allen, chairman of the Nevada public service commission, would meet in Carson Wednesday. Spanish War Veteran Dies Funeral services are pending at Ross-Burke- co.

The boy is five feet six inches tall, weighs 123 pounds, has dark blonde hair, wears glasses and was wearing a shirt, jeans and a reel cap when he was last seen. i i Bureau Charges Politics Enter Federal Survey U. S. Department Of Agriculture Hits Congress Right Nevada state farm bureau today charged that the U. S.

department of agriculture is hitting at the rights of congress in seeking to develop government programs and policies. "Politics and policy-making is the aim of the department's family farm policy review, now being conducted in Nevada," stated farm bureau President Rudolph Schwartz. The statement was made on behalf of the farm bureau board of directors and a special committee assigned to study the program, Schwartz said. The department of agriculture program, outlined in a 121-page "provisional report and tentative recommendations" is to be reported back to Washington by October. "We do not believe a tax-supported government agency can produce an unbiased report of its activities, and we question the sin cerity of top agricultural officials who seek suggestions from all rural people on the complicated phases of agricultural policy in such a short time," the bureau spokesman said.

"We see no way to adequately inform farmers and ranchers prior to the meetings, of the policies to be discussed. It is apparent that the purpose of the survey is to strengthen and expand government i ne bureau committee expressed alarm that the 121page "family farm policy review" contains many of the proposals of the socialistic "Brannan plan" such as subsidy payments to farmers and federal programs to buy up and divide the farm land of the nation. "In view of the growing tendency of the department of agriculture to impose official thinking upon the people, we can only state that the "family farm policy review" is not the democratic way to form national policy and as such does not warrant the consideration of farm and ranch people in Nevada, or in its final form when presented by the department of agriculture to congress." The Nevada farm bureau leaders emphasize that they are NOT attacking the agencies of the department of agriculture in Nevada or the programs they are now carrying on. "We have the best of relations with the agencies now and many of our members serve oif the local committees of the department of agriculture," farm bureau Schwartz said.

Murphy said 50 candidates appeared at the auditions.

Venue Change Granted in Suit Change of venue in the federal government's anti-trust suit against the Las Vegas plumbing contractors and the plumbers union has been granted by Federal Judge Roger T. Foley. The case will be heard Oct. 1 in Carson instead of Las Vegas as the result of a petition presented to Judge Foley by John Bonner, attorney for the plumbers. Bonner told Judge Foley that the defendants might not get a fair trial in their home town.

Bonner said that there had been too much unfavorable publicity for the defendants and particularly for Ralph Alsup, Las Vegas labor leader. Judge Foley in granting the change of venue said that whether or not the fears of prejudice are well founded, a man is entitled to be tried in a jurisdiction where he feels there is no prejudice. Alsup and the plumbing contractors are charged with conspiring to fix prices in restraint of trade.

Udiak of Lanigan, Saskatchewan, has written the state tax commission asking for a refund of the $41.50 in property taxes he paid when he was forced to buy a temporary Nevada license. REFERRED TO WASHOE Robbins Cahill, secretary of the tax commission, referred the matter to the Washoe county board of commissioners, but the board de-femed action until the next meeting Sept.

5. The Canadian man was picked up by the state police last December when he entered the state with a dealer's license from Saskatchewan. When he bought a temporary license here, he also paid the personal property tax which is required by'state law. In the letter to the tax commis- sion, the JsasKaicnewan iviuiw Dealers' association said it could not understand why a non-resident should have to pay a personal property tax in Nevada when he was just passing through the state. APPLIES TO ALL Washoe county assessor Albert Boyne, whose office collected the $41.50, from Udiak, said it is necessary to apply the property tax to all automobile owners since it is impossible to determine whether a motorist is just passing through the state or intends to stay here permanently.

"The problem of repayment of the $41.50 is complicated by -the fact that the money already has been apportioned to the county, city of Reno, school district and the Mooney Enters Innocent Plea SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.

Light Showers Received Here Lightning Fires Menace in Forest- Light showers bathed scattered portions of Nevada Monday, and the weatherman said more thunderstorm activity is expected today and Wednesday. For western Nevada, thirsty from a two-month period without moisture, the showers are welcome, but they come as a mixed blessing for the Toiyabe forest service. While the showers reduce the potential fire hazards in the dry timber and range areas, the accompanying lightning is a menace itself. Monday afternoon, four strikes started small fires in this area, but all were brought under control be fore any extensive damage resulted. Anticipating more strikes as long as the thunderstorm activity prevails, the forest service has added ten extra men to its regular fire crew stationed in Reno.

The rain which fell in Reno Monday was measured as only a trace of moisture at the weather bureau station at Hubbard field, but heav ier amounts were reported from other Nevada stations. Fallon has .25 of an inch; Las Vegas, .01, and Tonopah, .01. Sunday, .03 of an inch of rain was measured here, the first moisture since June 21. In forecasting continued thunderstorms, the weatherman said temperatures would remain about the same. Reno's high Monday was 88 and the low this morning 50.

The forest service said one of the four lightning fires which started Monday afternoon was near the Callahan ranch where 3000 acres of brush and timberland were burned earlier this month. About one-half acre of thick, young timber burned Monday before owners of the ranch and fire crews brought it under control. Another strike started a small fire near the Galena camp ground, but it was extinguished by Mrs. Frank Leonard and two passersby before fire crews arrived. The two other strikes occurred near the Lafceview ranch about four miles northwest of Carson and near the San Antonio ranch in Washoe valley, the forest service reported.

Rita Prepared To Seek Divorce NEW YORK, Aug. 21. UPt Rita Hayworth's attorney said today there is "absolutelyno chance of a reconciliation" between the actress and her husband, Prince Aly Kahn, and that she probably will file for a Nevada divorce "within a week." Attorney Bartley Crum arrived from Paris by plane at New, York International airport. He said his negotiations on the financial phases of the actress marital difficulties are ended.

Bars Must File Ceiling Prices Possibility exists that, bars throughout the seventeen Nevada counties and six northern Califor nia counties under the supervision of the Reno district office of price stabilization are unaware of the fact that they are required to file ceiling prices, according to Raby Wu'fnn Hictrirf rMrnrt nr V. W.I, UllVlVl Lack of substantial filings from bars in the 160.000 square mile area encompassed by the Reno district, has been noted in compliance surveys conducted during the past two weeks, Mr. Newton said. In some instances it appears that owners or operators of bars are under the impression that they are exempt from filing, and such impression is not correct, the director noted. He advised bar operators throughout the entire district that they should make their filings immediately since they are even now in violation of the mandatory filing provision of CPR11 wnich covers restaurants and bars.

Information concerning how to file, and copies of the regulation may be obtained from the Reno district office at 1475 Wells avenue, Mr. Newton emphasized.
