(John Nulty photo). Revision of Nevada Laws Proves to Be Titanic Job Minor Errors Are Reported After a spot check of 15 precincts in Wcsho? county had been completed shortly before 4 p. m. Thursday, C. Clifton Ycuns gained 15 votes on his defeated opponent for representative in congress.

Rep. Wctltcr S. Baring. Walter Fitzpa trick, chief invest igator' for the Bo.7s congressional subcommittee on elections, said he was convinced the errors found were minor and "not in any trend or pattern." SUBMITS REPORT He said a report of his survey would be submitted to the Boggs group, and it would be up to that subcommittee whether to go further into the Nevada congressional race. A further congresional study of tho Young-Baring general election result by the Boggs subcommittee appears highly unlikely.

Fitzpatrick appeared satisfied that no major errors which would change the result would be round in Washoe county. The genial, lanky investigator pointed out that his report had to be filed with the subcommittee by Jan. 3, permitting little time for a further local vote survey. The subcommittee itself as now constituted will go out of existence shortly after that time, unless its tenure is renewed by the incoming Republican leadership. Fitzpatrick took an 8:40 m.

plane to New York, his missibn in Nevada apparently ended. He said he doubted that any other study of ballots in the entire nation would be made by the Boggs subcommittee. One disputed election in Idaho would be referred to the next administration for consideration of any action, said Fitzpatrick. NET LOSS 11 In the Baring-Young race in Washoe count the defeated incumbent Baring gained 11 votes in the 15 checked precincts and lost 22 votes, for a net loss of 1L The winner. Young, gained 12 votes in the 15 precincts and lost only eight votes, for a net gain of four.

Thus, with Baring losing 11 votes and Young gaining four, it amounted to a net increase of 15 votes for the representative-elect from Nevada. Eighty-six of the ballots ac cepted by the 15 election boards were rejected and somewhere be tween 75 and 80 previously rejected ballots' were accepted, said Fitzpatrick. Some ballots marked in pencil or pen were rejected. Harry K. Brown, Washoe county clerk, said he'd informed the election boards they had been ruled illegal by the state supreme court.

In some instances where minor defects such as pinpoints appeared on the ballot but the intent was clear to Fitzpatrick, he accepted previously rejected votes. Brown said that some ballots counted in the sampling had been erroneously termed void in entirety because of errors in marking one race such as in voting for both presidential candidates. In such instances the properly marked races still count, and they were counted in the sampling. BARING WATCHES Fitzpatrick said he preferred not single out precincts where errors occurred. Baring, who spent the entire period watching the recount although Young did not, said he lost 11 votes in the sampling in Precinct No.

27A, in the Veteran's Memorial school. Nos. 27A, 27, 51, and 56A in Reno and 5 8, 10, and 12 in Sparks were selected at random, with no apparent errors at the outset. Precincts Nos. 4, 5, 12A, 13A; 35, and 47A had errors discovered in final counts before the sampling was taken.

No. 11A in Sparks was subpoenaed late in the day. Some of the tally books weren't properly marked vote by vote, but their final computations were correct. Brown said. Fitzpatrick had said errors mignt oe attnoutea to an urge to get the task completed hurriedly after long hours of counting and there seemed to him no single causative factor creating tht mis takes vvhicn were found.

L-rrors of the nature found in Washoe county weren't uncommon with election boards, he indicated. Fitzpatrick had pointed to some cases, before the sampling, where more votes were cast in the presidential race than the number ballots recorded as cast in the precinct involved. He said after the sampling that he believed this error may have occurred because several precincts were in close relationship in single buildings, and ballots may have been inadvertently placed in the wrong precinct piles. ELECTION GUIDE Fitzpatrick said that he customarily uses the presidential election as a guide to determining the possibility of voting error, since most voters make a selection in that race and thus any olnious error could be spotted there. His concern in Washoe county, however, as it was in Clark was with the Earing-Young returns.

Fitzpatrick lauded the cooperation of county clerks in both' counties during his investigation. Welker informed Malone that he had resigned from the senate subcommittee on privileges and elections, the Nevada senator reported. "I felt the subcommittee was a campaign venule for the Democratic national committee and wanted no part of it." Welker informed Malone by telegram. "I am emfoarraB-sed that they have the effrontery to demand a count of votes in the sovereign state of Nevada. This is clearly an invasion of state's rights and if I were the officials of Nevada." I would refuse them access to any ballots just like the state of Michigan did.

"In my opinion this three man committee can make an investigation and then report back to the privileges and elections fubeom-mittee, but it has no business messing around with the ballot box of the great state of Nevada. "I hope that they will be met with firm opposition because it is politics and nothing more. Senator Dirksen agrees with me 100 per cent." The committee has no authority to order a recount of any votes in any state but must report to the full committee when the senate convenes Jan. 3, Malone reported that he had been informed by Sen. Robert Hendrickson of New Jersey.

Hendrickson is the Republican minority member of the three man subcommittee of the senate rules committee. "It would seem that the county and state authorities of our state of Nevada would be within their rights to refuse to participate in a recount under the authority of the subcommittee," Malone said. "In my opinion they are simply on a fishing expedition to gain advertising for the committee and to cast a cloud over the works of the election officials of the state of Nevada." Malone in a statement in Las Vejjas earlier in the week had branded the recount as "a dying attempt by Truman's fair deal group to discredit the duly elected congressman and senator from Nevada." He said that "some people seem to think that their must be something in the Constitution which prevents a Republican from winning an election." In a vote recount in Clark county last week in the race between Walter S. Baring and Clifton Young, ballots were delivered to Walter Fitzpatrick, house subcommittee investigator when he de manded them of the county clerk. However, the Reno Evening Gazette has previously pointed out that this procedure is expressly forbidden under Nevada law.

Section 17 of the general election law provide" that ballots in an election shall not be subject to the inspec tion of anyone, except in cases of contested election, and then only by the judge, body or board before whom such election is being contested." The present election is not being contested. Long Time Reno Resident Passes 11 Mrs. Louisa Waller Christensen. Reno resident since 1888, died Thursday at a local hospital following a long illness.

The "right to work" initiative petition, outlaws collective bargaining contracts containing closed and union shop agreements modi fications, picketing or other agreements to force closed or union shops. The petition filed Thursday asks for outright repeal of the "right to work" petition which passed by a 1034 margin in the Nov. 4 general election State laws setting up procedures on initiative petitions require that they must bear signatures equal in number to 10 per cent of the votes cast for supreme court justice in the last general election. There were 55,561 votes cast for Chief Justice Milton Badt in the Nov. 4 election.

Therefore, to meet requirements, the new petition needed 5516 signatures. Brought out originally by teamster urrion officials in Las Vegas, the petition seeking repeal was circulated throughout the state, but the majority of signatures were believed obtained in Las Vegas and Henderson. By law, Koontz is required to submit, such petitions to the legislature on opening day. However, the constitution also provides that such petitions as the "right to work" measure, if approved cannot be annulled, amended or repealed by the legislature for at least three years. Koontz said that he would follow out prescribed legal procedures step-by-step and present the petition to the legislature, unless legally ordered to do otherwise.

He said he had accepted the petition for filing upon advice of the state attorney general's office. Koontz said that if the legislature fails to take action or rejects the petition, the next requirement is that it be placed on the ballot in 1954. If such an eventuality arises, Koontz said he would ask further advice from the attorney general on the course to pursue. The petition was presented shortly before 4 p. m.

Thursday. Understate law, today is the filing deadline, 30 days before the legislature Thomas Meehan of Las Vegas, secretary of the AFL Culinary Workers Alliance, headed the dele gation of Las Vegas and Reno union leaders who presented the repeal petition. Union shops also are prohibited in Nevada under senate bill No.79, approved by the 1951 legislative session. Copper Worker Vote Favors AFL Eligible employes of the Ana conda copper company's operation at Weed Heights, near Yerington, voted overwhelmingly Thursday for the American Federation of Labor, Nevada industrial council to act as their bargaining agent in labor-management negotiations. In the Thursday ballotting.

153 employes of a total of 163 eligibles voted. Nevada industrial council. AFofL received 131 ballots; 11 voted for no union; 11 votes were cast for the United Steelworkers, CIO. The election was held in the quonset warehouse on copper company property at Yerington. According to Al May, vice-presi dent of the Nevada industrial coun cil, as soon as officfal certification is received from the National Labor Relations Board in Washington; negotiations will be started for a contract with Anaconda.

The Nevada industrial council started negotiations with the copper concern last July, asking for a consent agreement so that the election could be held. Police Hold Runaway Pair Reno police took a 16-year-old girl and a boy, 17, both runaways from California, into custody Thursday after they had spent the night in a local hotel room. Juvenile authorities reported that the two bring the month's total of runaway juveniles booked at the police station to 15. Police were told that the couple were registered in the hotel as man and wife, in spite of their youthful appearance. Parents of the pair have hl1 formed police that they will come to Reno to take the pair home.

The Kefauver senate investlgat ing committee which probed na tion-wide crime activities said Bischoff is Leftv Clark- "of the old Detroit mob." The same report also identified him as an associate of Meyer Lan-sky and Joe Adonis in the operation of. the Green Acres club at Miami Beach. Fla.

In Washington, according to the Associated Press, James McGran- ery, U. S. attorney general, an nounced today he has started pro ceedings to take away Lansky's American citizenship. The dispatch, identifying Lansky as a former oootiegger ana aiiegea big-time gambler," said the petition to cancel Lansky's citizenship will be filed in the U. S.

district court for the southern district of New York. TO CHARGE FRAUD The petition will charge that Lansky, born in Russia, obtained his naturalization through fraud, McGranery said. McGranery charged that Lansky "deliberately and intentionally con cealed his criminal record," in ap' plying for citizenship. McGranery announcement said Lansky allegedly has been a close associate of leading gamblers and racketeers in this country and has gambling interests in Hollywood, Miami, Council Bluffs, and Las Vegas.

Several persons have already applied. The monetary remuneration for the public administrator comes from probate of estates which are not otherwise covered by wills or in other court activity by relatives.

Under the "logical classification system," ail laws pertaining to the judicial system are carried under the general heading of "Courts and Civil Justice." Other laws are grouped similarly under subject matter. The revised code will include nine general subjects of lawr sub-didived into 56 titles, which in turn, contain 694 chapters, with reserve numbers listed for future additions.

Each chapter is limited to 100 sections, in most cases.

Double Parking Cause of Crash JoAnn Dunseath, 23, '321 'West 11th was charged with double parking Thursday after a minor ac cident at Mill street, next to Pown-ing park.

CAR TOWED AWAY' Parked on Chestnut street for two weeks, a 1948 Dodge was towed to a garage Thursday by Reno po lice. The automobile was parked between First and Second and had license plates issued to W. C. Gibson, Klamath Falls, Ore.

Revision of Nevada's laws, which was authorized by the 1951 legislature, has proved to be a titanic task, according to Russell McDonald, Reno attorney, who is directing the project. Each of the 8423 acts passed by legislative sessions since 1861 have been read and classified according to subject matter and a two volume, 645 page record of all these acts compiled. The end product- of the revision task will be a compilation of 4000 general acts which will include effective sections. JOB REVEALING McDonald said the revision process thus far has revealed that legislators have amended acts that have been repealed outright, repealed by implication or declared unconstitutional by supreme court opinions. Laws also have been duplicated and in many cases statutes in conflict with the constitution and other legislative acts have been carried as state law for many years.

One of the clearest examples of conflicting provisions was found in laws setting terms of supreme court justices, McDonald said. He explained that the constitution provides that an elected justice takes office "from and including the first Monday in January." Section No. 4775 of the Nevada compiled laws provides that justices shall take office "on the first Tuesday after. the first Monday in and section No. 8372, NCL, provides that justices shall begin terms on the first day of January.

In the revision process the terms of the nustices would set in ac cordance with constitutional pro visions. LAWS OBSOLETE McDonald said that approxi mately 25 per cent of the state laws now on the books are obsolete. For example, he said, section No. 8489 of Nevada compiled laws mentions the term juries. Wondering what "special juries' were, McDonald said he research ed pertinent laws back to 1865 and found that term mentioned in a law enacted that year.

However, this act was repealed in 1866, but the term remained in the compiled statutes. Obsolete, unconstitutional and repealed portions of each law will Be eliminated in the revised codes. Errors in grammar and word usage are quite common, McDonald said. The split infinitive, bane of English teachers, is sprinkled liberally through state statute, he declared. McDonald said he was correcting such errors, eliminating excess verbiage and correcting punctuation as part of the revision task.

(The reviser, an honor graduate of the University of Nevada, is a Rhodes scholar who studied at St. John's college in England in 1938 and 1S39.) Accompanying the revision is a detailed research into tederal court and supreme court opinions pertinent to Nevada laws. McDonald said that he has found that since 1861 the Nevada supreme court has handed down 3561 opinions construing Nevada law and 800 rulings have been issued by federal courts. PREPARES DIGEST The reviser is preparing a digest of these opinions construing Nevada law, and as each law is listed in the revised code, notes are appended referring to legal reporting volumes which contain pertinent court decisions affecting that particular law. The task of listing these notes of pertinent opinions has required the use of 15,000 annotataion work sheets listing excerpts of the opinions and related material.

That means that interpretive opinions and rulings have been handed down in the higher courts three-fifths of the effective 35,000 'sections of Nevada law. Another major change resulting fication system will eliminate lengthy searches for all laws per' taining to one subject. For example, if a person were interested in searching out law on wiretapping in current volumes, he must look under "Public Utilities" and "Tele graph," to name only two current chapters where such laws are found. A complete system or cross references also is being set up on card files, McDonald said. These references will list each law, with referral to related laws.

Purpose of the file will be to insure that when an act is amended, all related laws are amended, where necessary. This has not been done in the past, leading to confusion like that hich existed in the setting of pterms for supreme court justices. New headings are being written for each section to reflect more accurately the subject matter of the law. Notes are being made where changes in the subject matter of the law are deemed necessary. These recommended changes will be called to the attention of the legislators.

Work on the revision began May 15, 1951. McDonald spent some months studying revision procedures in California and Oregon and actual revision has been in progress for about a year. McDonald estimated that the revised codes will be ready for printing in 1955. STAFF OF FIVE The work has been done by. a staff of five persons, including McDonald and four clerical employes, under the supervision of the three justices of the supreme court, acting as a revision and compilation commission.

The justices, Milton Badt, Edgar Eather and Charles Merrill were designated by the legislature as the commission in charge of the revision work. The legislature' provided that each of the justices would receive $125 a month additional salary for' directing the revision, and McDonald, who resigned from private practice and withdrewfrom the race for Reno city attorney to accept the position, is paid $8500 annually. He said that $40,000 remains in the revision fund. The legislature appropriated $75,000 for the initial phases of the revision. The act provides that the revision project shall be a continuous one, with all code sections kept up to date as new bills are enacted into law.

The state plans to issue the revised code in loose-leaf bound volumes, with nine or 10 volumes comprising a set. Cost of each set will depend upon the number of volumes, but it is estimated at approximately $125 a set. A total of 2500 sets are to be printed. The cost is competed on a basis that sale of the revised code will pay for the revision, printing and binding project over, a period of 10 years. There have been five compilations made of Nevada statutes, but the current project is the first effort made to revise and rearrange them.

In the compilation efforts, the laws were merely arranged, without regard to whether they had been repealed or declared unconstitutional. Burglar Takes. Diamond Ring Burglary, at the home of Miss Jean Hendrey, 825 California was reported to Reno police Thursday afternoon. Officers were told that the items taken were a diamond ring, a wrist watch valued at $72, a small radio valued at $85, and $7 in cash.
