E. Jones J. F. Molloy Law Firms Merge To Form One Of Arizona's Largest The merger of two major Tucson law firms Molloy, Jones, Trachta Coolidge, P.C., and Robertson- Fickett, P.C. -will result in one of the largest single law firms in the state.

The new association will be called Robertson, Molloy, Fickett Jones, P.C. The present of Robertson Fickett are Lawrence V. Fred W. Fickett, Thomas H. Childers, John L.

Monroe is an associate. The new firm will occupy the 19th floor and part of the 12th floor of the Tucson Federal Savings Tower. The merger will become effective when renovation of the 12th floor is completed -about Nov. 1, a spokesman said. Robertson Fickett, P.C.

(P.C. stands for professional corporation) now occupies the entire 19th floor and a portion of the 16th floor of the tower. Many doctors as well as law firms are becoming professional corporations to gain certain tax advantages unavailable to partnerships. The firm of Molloy, Jones, Trachta Coolidge occupies a major portion of the 10th floor of the Valley National Bank Building. The firm was founded in 1946.

The new firm will have at least 18 lawyers, believed to make' it the largest law firm in Tucson. Both firms are heavy in commercial and corporate practice and related fields corporate banking, probate tax and trusts. Besides the fact that both practice business law primarily, a "substantial factor" in deciding on the merger was former Court of Appeals Judge Molloy's "great experience in all forms of trial practice," a spokesman said. Moiloy will head the new firm's trial department. Moiloy, 53, was appointed to Superior Court in 1957 and remained in that position until 1964 when he was named to the Arizona Court of Appeals Southern Division.

He resigned in September 1969. Robertson, a longtime trial lawyer in Tucson, was a founder of a firm which merged with former Superior Court Judge Fred W. Fickett's law firm in 1967. Robertson, 65, has been semiactlve. Robertson was a senior partner in Robertson, Childers, Everett, Donahue Drachmae when the new firm was founded.

Fickett was senior partner in Fickett, Dunipace Stewart. Fickett, 75, was a Superior Court judge from 1929-34. He was a member of the Tucson School Board for 18 years. Jones, 46, came to Tucson from Clarkdale. He has been with Molloy, Jones, Trachta Coolidge since 1951.

Leonard Everett has been member of Robertson Fickett but is now in independent practice. Court Sets Jury Probe Of GAC PROVIDENCE, R. I. (AP) Superior Court Judge Christopher Del Sesto has ordered a grand jury investigation into the fthode Island activities of GAC Properties, a Florida- based land development company. GAC Properties, of Arizona, which is developing the Rio Rico community north of Nogales, is not involved in selling Rhode Island real estate, a Tucson spokesman said.

He explained that GAC of Arizona is a separate corporate unit of the Florida-based GAC Properties, The judge ordered GAC and three of its former employes to go before the jury Aug. 10 and tell what they know about the company's dealings in Rhode, Island. Del Sesto at the same time issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting picketing and distribution of handbills against GAC. The firm charged that three of its former employes, John'R. Assalone Gordon W.

Camp bell and William Gornostal, were picketing dinner meetings between GAC representatives and prospective purchasers at restaurants here. It charged also that several allegations made by the employ- es in handbills were not true. Among the charges made in the handbills was one indicating that it was nearly impossible to resell land bought from GAC. Discussions Stall In Painters Strike Efforts to end a strike by union painters in Tucson, now three days deep into the second month, have stalled again. Union members overwhelmingly rejected the contractors' latest offer at a meeting earlier this week, and contractors have blamed' the strikers for Monday night vandalism at a construction site on.

East Ft. Lowell Koad. Carl Wiese, president of the contractors association, said that talks have been suspended indefinitely. Bill Morris, one of the union negotiators, said the contractors' latest offer of $1.97 per hour increase over the next three years was rejected in a secret ballot at a-Monday union meeting. The offer was made after a meeting late last week, called by federal mediators, and represented an increase of 10 cents per hour over: the previous offer.

Morris said that in connection with the new offer, the contractors also wanted to-virtually eliminate a premium for steel painters and to initiate a wage differential for repaint jobs and tract housing. Steel painters currently receive per hour premium because of of their work. contractors want to eliminate the premium if the painters don't have to climb more than 25 feet and cut it to 50 cents if they are working higher than that," Morris said. The painters have asked a $2 increase on a two-year contract or 10 per cent increase every six months over a three- year period. Should the contractors' offer reach this level, the painters say, they would be willing to negotiate a separate scale for repaint and tract housing jobs where competition is fierce, but ley are hot receptive to elimi- ating the premium for steel ainters.

The current wage scale for ainters is $4.93. Special Penaljo Casual Open Friday Evening Downtown Only! Sears Horse Vaccine fram Starts The first statewide vaccination of horses in Arizona in more than 40 years began today. More than 200 horses were waiting in 1 line, figuratively speking, this morning at the Rillito Park race track when veterinarians began Pima County's vaccination program against Venezuelan sleeping sickness. With them were their owners, mostly youngsters. The statewide vaccination, aimed at inoculating Arizona's more than 130,000 horses, mules and burros, is the first such effort since the early.

1930s when the federal government conducted a massive campaign against dourine, a syphilis-like disease that threatened the nation's horse population. "I can remember as a kid when they vaccinated and tested horses and branded "U.S." on a hoof," said Jack R. Post, chief livestock inspector of Pima County. Instead of a brand, veterinarians are tagging horses inanes and tails with red tags. Two problems were encountered this morning as the vaccinations began.

Many youngsters brought or rode their horses to the race track, but when they got there they found out that they could not sign a waiver for the vaccination unless they were 18 years old. Also those who had gotten their animals vaccinated against the common Eastern and Western strains of sleeping sickness within the past 10 days could not, receive the experimental vaccine, TC83. 'Dr. W. F.

Condon, coordinator of the Pima County vaccination program, said, however, that veterinarians will be "vaccinating for several weeks, and both restrictions should not pose a big problem to the horse owner. After a horse is vaccinated, it must be confined for 14 days, said Dr. Condon. Post said he will ask other county law enforcement agencies to assist the Livestock Sanitary Board inspectors in making sure horses are quarantined and vaccinated. AVhile the shots are not mandatory, a regulation has been passed that no horse can be moved off the owner's property unless it has been vaccinated.

The vaccination clinic will move to the Tucson Polo Field tomorrow from 8 a.m. until noon. The field is located in the 3900 block of N. Columbus Blvd. where the Rillito River intersects.
