CARSON Attorney General Harvey Dickerson said today that a motion will be filed to have the state's suit against the US involving water rights at the Hawthorne Naval ammunition depot remanded to state district court. Dickerson said the motion would be made on the grounds that the government has not complied with the rules of federal procedure in having the cse moved into federal court. The suit, on behalf of state engineer Hugh Shamberger, was filed in the fifth judicial district court at Hawthorne, but was moved to federal court in Carson last week on a motion by government attorneys. Federal Judge John R. Ross set April 9 to hear a motion to dismiss and for summary judgment filed earlier this week by government attorneys.

The government is seeking summary judgment and dismissal of the suit on the grounds that the complaint filed by the state fails to set fourth a claim against the US for which relief can be granted.

Whether the Washoe county commissioners will face legal action resulting from a recent decision to buy a grader for the road department from other than the low bidder was still unresolved today, and meanwhile the grader decided upon remained on order. In the second of two Thursday sessions with the commissioners, J. H.

Galbraith, sales manager of the Tractor Equipment Co. here, said he hadn't had time to decide whether he will challenge the legality of the grader bidding action, but will give an answer as soon as possible. Commissioner Ernest Kleppe and District Attorney A. D. Jensen told him he had the privilege of raising the matter in court at any time, but Galbraith said he understood the county's position in having a grader on order from the Sanford Tractor Co.

and would act quickly if at all. The two-part discussion revolved around the fact that the commissioners accepted the San ford bid for a Caterpillar tractor because it was the type wanted, even though this bid was not low and Galbraith's was; around Gal braith's protests as to the basis of the county decision alleged lower maintenance costs oh the and around the possible illegality of the county action. Jensen took the view that so long as no consistent effort to vade the intent of bidding statutes could be shown, the county wasn't bound to take the low bid; that the commissioners aren't bound to check Galbraith's main tenance figures, or anybody's; and that even though the specifications were meant specifically for the "Cat" tlis didn't mean only one firm could sell to the county, since the county would accept a bid from anyone with the right machinery. On the latter count Galbraith protested that dealer franchises mean that only one Caterpillar bid would be received from a dealer, and that buying from anyone else would mean either getting a second hand machine or one without a factory warranty. Also at the center of the argument was whether or not one of the Galion graders offered by Galbraith's company did meet the specification for an "independent gasoline starting system." Galbraith said it does, and said the company that makes the engine also says it does.

When the discussion finally ended Kleppe and Chairman Ray Capurro said the county's order with the Sanford firm stands until or if court action forces another move. Lyon Children Receive Yaccine YERINGTON, Jan. 5.
