Streamlining, As Urged By Auditor, Now Is Well Under Way, Says Davis By STEVE EMERINE Reorganization and procedural changes recommended by City Post Auditor Jules Ross in two confidential reports to mayor and City CouncK. are well under way, Mayor Lew Davis and City Manager Mark Keane said today. The bulk of Ross' recommendations are in a report wri.tten June 8 in which he criticizes "a lack of initiative among department heads," "laxness in performance by employes and a lack of supervision" and "unnecessary Blue Skies To Smile A bright blue sky With a trace of haze Spells outdoor fun For weekend days. --Ex-Yankee Sunny, blue skies with a trace of high clouds and little change in temperature are the weatherman's predictions for this weekend.

Tomorrow's high temperature will be about the overnight low will be 39. This is slightly warmer than yesterday's high of 55 and this morning's low 'of 38. At today, the Tucson temperature' was 54, with '54 per cent humidity. Full Wt.ttwr Report, and duplicate accounting, cost and payroll operations." Ross accuses no specific individual or department of these things, but lists examples from several departments to back up the criticisms, which he says exist throughout city government. The comments and Keane came by Davis after the release yesterday of the second and third of Ross' four reports to the mayor and City Council since he was hired last February.

The bulk of the recommendations for streamlining city operations are in Report No. 2. The other report released yesterday deals with the city's lease of a building on East 6th Street from the Tucson Confucian Church for use as the Servicemen's Center. Reports 1 and 4, released earlier this week, dealt with the Tucson Baseball Commission and the City (Parks and Recreation spectively.

City Manager John M. Urie will go a long way toward correcting many of Ross' criticisms. Minor changes in procedures in several city departments already, have been implemented to take care of other recommendations from the post-auditor, Davis and Keane added. Ross' recommends: etter coordination among all city agencies.

2--Improved supervision of employes to improve employe performance, 3--Elimination of duplicate operations and records. 4--A coordinated citywide system of timekeeping and time (This was Ross' major criticism of the parks and recreation department in Report No. 4. Parks employes were asked to work overtime on many occasions and later given compensatory time off, but the records of overtime were kept by the department, not by the City Personnel Office, Ross said!) 5--Closer attention to travel expense voucher auditing. 8--Elimination of unnecessary travel at city expense.

7--Improved security of the nsw City Hall building. (Ross reported finding doors to the new structure open on several evenings when no one was in the building.) 8--Strengthening of Tucson Independent Municipal Em- ployes, the citywide em- ployes', organization, instead of the formation of employe within various departments. 9---The combining of budgeting, 'office services (data processing) and other city financial offices under one person. 10---Establishment of an administrative services office responsible for mail, printing and reproduction, janitorial and motor pool services. Ross also reports finding misspelled names, inaccurate withholding tax amounts and other errors on the city payroll and criticizes the city personnel office's records and indoctrination of new city employes.

The third audit report, dated July 17, cites city action in leasing the Servicemen's Center building as an example of poor handling of Cky leases and city-owned property. "Particularly significant, in my opinion, are the failure to exercise normal good business practices, laxness in performance, poor coordination between various units of the city, the absence of a concept of proper-control procedures and, as a result of all the inadequate protection of Ross the city's" interests," says in the report. He adds: to note, in "It is significant connection with this-one relatively minor activity, the broad scope of deficiencies disclosed arid the Charlie Ups Pot To $550 Citizen Charlie is 'in a rut.

Five months 10, 1957, and "good usable later, Ross adds, Danforth asked for $400 for roof repairs from summer rains, and in December of that year, the city ended up making $4,527 worth of repairs.

In addition, the post auditor says, the city received no inventory of property on hand in the building when it was leased and kept inadequate records of city property added to the structure. The lease was canceled by the city last summer. Mariner's Voice Fades Forever WASHINGTON--UPI-- The tiny voice of Mariner 2, which whispered to men some of the secrets 'of space, has faded away forever. U.S. tracking stations oh earth lost with the little spacecraft yesterday.

Its last signal came from 54.3 million miles away, more than twice as far as radio signals were ever, successfully beamed before. At that sensors on the spacecraft which kept its directional antenna beamed toward home could no longer see the earth. So Mariner 2, a 447-pound spacecraft that looks like a miniature oil derrick, sped to a perpetual orbit uround the sun today with its radio signal aimed the wrong way. Scientists had expected this to happen. Mariner 2 achieved the climax of its mission on Dec.

IN TUCKER'S wallet, sher- i deputies found evidence of four traffic offense convictions and receipts for three traffic fines--one for $150 and two for $15 each. A few minutes before the crash, the Marana youths had been spotted hastily backing out of a gas station-office complex on the corner of West Wetmore and Romero roads at 12:56 a.m.

by Deputy Sheriff John H. Rock. "I was making a routine business check of the area," Rock said, "when I saw this red Chevrolet Corvair backing out on to Wetmore road in a reckless manner. Then it headed east on Wetmore." Rock said he drove toward the youths to question them, but "they took off at a high speed. "I followed them, turned on the patrol car's red flasher but they disregarded it," Rock said.

The deputy added that he even used the siren but gave that up. The pursued car turned into a trailer court on Wetmore Road, made a turn around some trailers and sped Prominent Attorney's Son Killed H. R. Merchant Dies In Crash Henry Robert Merchant III, 21, of 1216 E. Speedway, was injured fatally in a two-car accident on East 22nd Street in the early hours today.

A student at the University of Arizona, he was the. father of two small children and son of prominent Tucson attorney Henry Merchant Jr. The younger Merchant's wife, Judith; 20, also was in the accident, but was not seriously injured. Robert Emmett Moore, 23, of 1776 Palo Verde.Place, was the driver of the car in which the Merchants were riding Mrs. Karen 23, of E.

3rd Street, was also a passenger in Moore's car. MOORE AND Mrs. Frazer were reported in "reasonably serious" condition at St. Joseph's Hospital. The driver of the other car, Timoteo A.

Santeyan, 42, of 6232 E. Sylvane Street, was arrested by city police and charged with drunk driving. He was not seriously injured in the crash. The a i occurred shortly after 1 a.m. in front of the Hasty Tasty restaurant at 3326 E.

"This time they headed west toward Romero Road where they turned north," Rock said, adding the fleeing car was "fishtailing and broadsiding" around corners. At one point, a southbound car was forced off the road to avoid a head-on collision. Rock said the driver of car that was forced off the road had not reported the incident to'the sheriff's department. "I think-if he hadn't seen my red light, he'd probably crashed into the speeding youths," the deputy said. From Romero, the youths sped into Ruthrauff Road, picked up speed on the straight stretch as they headed west toward the railroad crossing, still with the car's lights out.

"THE TRAIN was about two-thirds over the crossing when the car crashed into it," said. The car was knocked about 150 feet and all four of the boys thrown out before it burst into flames." Rock said the Southern Pacific train, bound for Los Angeles, kept going, with the engineer, L. E. the fireman, C. E.

Ryan, and the conductor, W. M. Etheridge, all of apparently unaware there had been a collision. "The boys were sure clipping along," Rock a "I've no idea how fast they were going because I kept transmitting on my radio to get help. I'm sure they were going about as fast as the car could travel." THE DEATH car was registered in the a of Mrs.

Mary E. Tucker, mother of one of the dead youths and a dispatcher in the sheriff's substation at Marana. Rock said the only thing salvaged from the wrecked car was a .22 caliber rifle.

The United States and Its allies still refuse to gamble their security in anything less than inspected arms reduction. They are even more confirmed in this belief as a result of the Cuban missile affair. But the Soviet Union remains adamant as ever in its rejection of any international verification of disarmament. When the conference reconvenes on Jan, 15, the United States will be represented by a new chief negotiator, to succeed veteran coid war diplomat Arthur H. Dean, whose resignation after two years on the job without pay was revealed yesterday.
