Clark county is expected to have a population of 150,000 by 1960 and 259,000 by 1975 heads of the administrative departments of the county were advised today as they began discussion of plans for an addition to the courthouse. The population figures were advanced by the Walton Beckett architectural and engineering firm of Los Angeles as it was determined the county will need almost six times as much office space by 1975 as at present. Funds for the courthouse addition were approved by county voters recently and the program is expected to cost about $3,000,000. The board directed Warden A. E.

Gordon Hawkins, attorney for the union, said all difficulties have been "ironed out" and an agreement is to be signed this alternoon. A spokesman for the hotel, who Tuesday said the orchestra had been ousted from the Crown Room because of poor attendance, took another stand and reported that "Bill Miller' never fired an act in his life and won't start now." LAS VEGAS The music will go around and around again in the Hotel Royal Nevada tonight as hotel officials announced the end of their feud with Phil Spitalny and his Hour of Charm all girl orchestra. The Spitalny organization was "fired" Tuesday night by Bill Miller, hotel president, who said at the time the act was the "worst ever to hit Las Vegas." Miller then blamed the declining attendance in the Crown Room on the orchestra.

Attorney General Haravey Dickerson held in an opinion issued recently in Carson.

Noting that the legislature applied the tax to social clubs and fraternal organizations, Dickerson said he believed the lawmakers had in mind those organizations in which adults seek voluntary membership. School groups were specifically exempted in the law. "Fraternities and sororities have become institutions intimately connected with the social life of nearly every college and university," Dicker-son said. "The membership of each is composed of students of varying degrees of financial support, but in the main they are young men and women who depend for a college education upon outside help of one kind or another." If sales taxes are charged upon meals served by the fraternities and sororities, the added costs would have be passed on to the membership, the attorney general continued. "This we feel in an obliga- tion not intended for them to meet until after graduation and the assumption of their place in the business he declared.
