Robbins, veteran Elko county legislator, and M. E. "Ted" McCuistion, speaker of the Nevada assembly for 1953, are not opposed to a special session of the legislature to consider school problems as they affect Washoe and Clark counties. However, they do insist that Gov. Charles Russell carefully spell out the program if a session is held and that facts and figures be provided to support the need of a special session.

Both of the lawmakers gave approval to Governor Russell's idea to have a layman's committee study the subject and report to him. Speaker McCuistion declared he wished to refute a statement made in the western part of the state that members of the assembly would endeavor to embarass the governor in event a special session is called. "It is my considered opinion," he said, "that there would be no concerted effort to discredit the governor in any worthwhile program to solve the school problems in the state of Nevada." Both legislators see such a special session shot through with "political dynamite," in which the governor would be charged with the failure of the session in the event $50,000 was spent to hold it and nothing worth while was accomplished. Senator Robbins wonders where the money is coming from and says the legislature has provided a program of revamping assessed valuations. "I have been told you can stand on any corner in Reno or Las Vegas and see a million dollars worth of property which is not on the assessment rolls," he declared.

But he feels the assessor who makes the necessary adjustments will be defeating himself for election next year. Speaker McCuistion says the assessors already have the power to adjust valuations in Clark and Washoe counties to raise the necessary funds. He admits that the money will not become available immediately but that loans could be made from the state finance board at interest rates of 3 per cent, guaranteed by the increased valuations, which would mean additional taxation. However, his pet theory is that the greatest good can be attained by the consolidation of school districts in the sttae, making each county a school district, or even narrowing the districts to 10 in the state. He says there are 33 in Elko county now and some 600 in the state.

The inefficiency and cost of such a system must be evident, he claims. He said the bill drafters in Carson have been considering such legislation for a number of. years and that the idea is not new with legislators. Meanwhile, Elko Toastmasters met Tuesday night to discuss this and other issues. They were practically unanimous in their opposition to a special session.

They favored letting the counties involved settle their own problem, without the burdensome expenditure upon the state of $50,000 for a special session. Some of them pointed to the fact that Elko district recently voted $400,000 for a grammar school addition and that if more money is needed in the other counties they should change their valuations and secure it through the property tax from which Nevada gets the bulk of its tax monies. Cooler Weather Is in Prospect Cooler "weather was in prospect for Reno 'residents during the next 24 hours as a cold front was moving slowly into the mainland from the Pacific coast today. The main front was centered over Klammath Falls, this morning. The high today should be about the same as Wednesday, 84, with a low of 35 predicted for the early morning hours Friday.

The high Friday probably will dip to between 75 and 80 degrees, reported the weather forecaster. another 20,000,000 in new hotels will, be erected in the near future. Winchester presently embraces Hotels Sahara. El Ran-cho Vegas, and the Thunder-bird, as well as the Last Frontier Village, the Las. Vegas race track and numerous motels and some private residences.

Ready for construction are the Casablanca and Sunrise Hotels. Under state law, unincorporated towns receive half the license money collected therein, and with countless gambling tables and slot machines, this will make the new town about the most "solvent" in the country. Winchester was chosen as the name of the new town after competition among the residents discarded such suggestions as Mc-Carran, Sunset- Heights, Empire, Silverado, Tiffany and Valhalla. Winchester was said to have a more Western flavor and met approval of the residents. With the new designation, Town will no longer be known by that alphabetical designation either, since it will become simply Paradise.

But even that area will be somewhat appropriately named since within its boundaries are such establishments as the Desert Inn, Sands and Flamingo Hotels, plus the fast growing Paradise Valley small ranch area. iVelfare Group Problems Aired ELKO, New, (JPi Nevada's population particularly in Las Vegas is growing so fast it may cause a lot of problems in the future, the state's welfare experts agree. The welfare workers discussed these problems at a three-day meeting which ended in Elko. The meeting was attended by more than 100 delegates from all over Nevada. The delegates gave a lot of dis-c i to over-enrollment in schools one big problem the state already faces as a result of the rapid population rise.

They agreed, however, to take no action on the question until they see what results are forthcoming from the citizens' committee being appointed by Gov. Charles H. Russell. John Spangler. an official of the National Probation and Parole Association, also pointed out that soaring population invariably brings an increase in crime.

Spangler recommended that the state start taking steps now to meet the additional crime problem when it comes. Dwight Nelson, chief probation officer for Washoe county, estimated that by 1960. if the present trend continues, Las Vegas will have replaced Reno as the state's largest city and will have a population of 80,000. Nelson predicted the population boost will give Las Vegas plenty of other headaches to go with its already acute shortage of school classrooms. Elected president of the Welfare Conference was Loren Belknap of the state welfare department at Reno.

George R. Boucher, Elko justice of the peace, was named vice president. Other new officers are: Mrs. Grace Donehower of Reno, executive director of Washoe county Girl Scouts, secretary; Mrs. Leone Garrett of the White Pine county welfare department at Ely, treasurer; and Miss Clara Hodge of the Red Cross at Las Vegas, librarian.
