tCReoo GuHUournal Friday, January 21. 1983 Bryan's crime proposals gain favorable reception much in harmony with the interim committee" that studied prisons. He said he also liked Bryan's call for a study of good time credits that reduce prison time. Like Bryan, Horn said he believes the credits should be earned rather than automatic. Assemblyman Jim Banner, D-Las Vegas, said Bryan should have taken a tougher stance.

He said he favors tougher penalties and faster trials. Honor camps can't handle hardened criminals, Banner said. "I think we should find room to house those people" in nonviolent criminal offenders like convicted narcotics peddlers. But he adds that dangerous violent criminals should stay housed in medium and maximum-security facilities. But dangerous violent criminals should stay housed in medium and maximum-security facilities, he said, adding that he wants to hear more about Bryan's proposal to modify the so-called "exclusionary rule" so that police would be able to submit evidence in trials even though the arresting officer might have erred in obtaining it.

Sen. Joe Neal, D-North Las Vegas, lauded Bryan's proposal to double penalties for crimes against senior citizens. Neal, who has voiced more liberal views on crime issues in the past, said he favors Bryan's honor camp idea because it will foster alternatives to normal prison incarceration that could lead to rehabili-tiation of criminals. One of the Senate's crime hardliners, Sen. Nick Horn, D-Las Vegas, said Bryan's ideas "are very By CHRIS WOODY ARD The AP CARSON CITY Nevada legislators are taking a generally favorable view of Gov.

Richard Bryan's plans to get tough with habitual criminals, ease prosecutions and build new honor camps. Taking a "lock'em up" attitude but saying they were aware of the state's fiscal woes, several lawmakers said Thursday honor camps will help the state keep pace with a burgeoning prison population at a lower cost. Bryan outlined his crime-fighting plans Wednesday in his "State of the State" address. Sen. Tom Hickey, D-North Las Vegas, endorsed honor camps as a better place to house nonviolent criminal offenders like convicted narcotics peddlers.

Reno jury takes 5 minutes to mete out life sentence A jury of nine women and three men today took just five minutes to sentence convicted murderer Robert Jeffrey Farmer to life in prison without possibility of parole.

The same Washoe District Court jury took about Vk hours Thursday to find Farmer, 26, guilty of the murder of Thomas Kane 61 of Reno. Kane was killed on Jan. 17, 1982 and his body was hid in a culvert running under Interstate 80 near Wads-worth. Kane's car was later found out of gas and abandoned in Lathrup Wells, about 70 miles north of Las Vegas. In the car was a red and black suitcase with Farmer's indentification in it.

Farmer was arrested a week later in Florida. The jury also found Farmer guilty of possession of a stolen vehicle. Prosecutor Mary Boetsch presented evidence in the four-day trial that Farmer kidnapped and robbed a Reno woman, Linda Cobb, the day before Kane's murder. Cobb's testimony showed that Farmer did not have money or a car the day before Kane's killing. Boetsch argued that Farmer's motive in killing Kane was to steal his car and get out of Reno.

Farmer earlier was convicted of kidnapping and robbing Cobb and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. In the penalty hearing, Boestch told the jury that Farmer was also charged with a murder in Las Vegas in which there was an eyewitness. Although this could not be revealed during the trial, she said she thought this information clinched the sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole. The only other choice the jury had was life in prison with the possibility of parole. After the hour-long penalty hearing and instructions from Washoe District Judge John Gabrielli, the jury entered the jury room to begin deliberations.

In just five minutes they sent word to the court they had reached a verdict. Federal drug investigators preparing to begin work By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN fThe AP WASHINGTON Attorney General William French Smith announced Thursday that agents and prosecutors have begun to be assigned to 12 new drug task forces covering the entire nation. "The task forces are in the process of becoming operational. The program is on schedule," Smith said at a news conference.

One month ago, Congress appropriated $127.5 million to fund the administration's new anti-drug program for the rest of fiscal year 1982, which ends Sept. 30. Smith said that organizational work is completed for setting up task forces in Baltimore, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. He also issued guidelines for their operation, which were jointly worked out by the several agencies involved.

Northern Nevada will be included in the San Francisco operation. Southern Nevada will be monitored out of Los Angeles. He said each city is being assigned 18 agents initially, including six from the FBI, six from the Drug Enforcement Administration and six from the Treasury Department. The Treasury will supply each task force with three Internal Revenue Service agents, two Customs Service agents and one Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent. Four federal prosecutors also are being assigned initially to each city, Smith said, for a national total of 216 agents and 48 prosecutors.

By next week, Smith said, 400 agents and prosecutors would have been assigned, one-fourth the envisioned total of 1,600. Smith said each task force was being assigned two cases initially and that these would be "high-quality cases involving major trafficking by major organized-crime groups." The guidelines issued by the attorney general listed the following possible targets: traditional organized-crime figures; major outlaw motorcycle gangs such as the Hell's Angels, Pagans, Outlaws or Bandidos; other organized criminal groups like street gangs and prison gangs; importing and distributing organizations; financing operations, and physicians or pharmacists illegally dispensing prescription drugs. 2 widows lose atom case LAS VEGAS (AP) A federal judge has ruled against the widows of two Nevada Test Site workers who claimed their husbands died of leukemia after they were exposed to radiation from a 1970 underground nuclear test. U.S. District Court Roger Foley ruled that survivors of Harley Roberts and William Nunamaker had not proven to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the deaths were caused by radiation poisoning.

The two men were working at the test site Dec. 18, 1970, when an underground nuclear test code-named Baneberry accidentally vented, spewing radiation into the air. A total of 86 men were exposed to the radiation. Roberts and Nunamaker died of acute leukemia in 1974 and their widows filed suit against the federal government for $1.1 million. The widows contended the disease was a direct result of the radiation the men were exposed to in the 1970 blast.

Foley, in a brief ruling Thursday, ruled there was no credible proof, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, that low level radiation caused the leukemias of the two men. The lengthy federal court trial begain in early 1979. Thelma E. Gault Thelma E. Gault, a native of Reno, died Wednesday in a Reno hospital at the age of 74.
