Airport is cloI by weather) reached another new record, Hamilton reported. The figure was a 17.4 per ce nt increase over the 19C9 total. In contrast, figures released by the stjff at Us Angeles International Airjtort indicate that air passen.er volume during 1970 totaled 20 million, a 2 5 per cent decrease from the previous year. While the number of aircraft movements at OIA remained stable, Los Angeles International Airport recorded an 11 4 per cent drop with the major catagory affecting the decrease being helicopter service (M 4 per cent decrease).

"ITiese figures are really gratifying to us," Hamilton said, particularly when viewed in licht of the downswing most other areas of the aviation Industry have experienced during the last year." Hamilton credited the expansion of air carrier service at Ontario International Airport during 1370 as one reason for the 25 per cent Increase in passenger volume. "But the key factor, I believe, Is that more and more people are becoming aware of how convenient it is to fly out of Ontario International, especially from San Gabriel, Pomona, the west end and the San Bernardino-Riverside irea," Hamilton said. The report also shoved that air freight operations at toe airport also were growing at an accelerated rate. In 1970, for the first time, the million-pound mark as surpassed. More than 1,219,000 pounds of air frecht were dypatched from Ontario a 62 7 per tent increase over 139.

"The steady climb in activity at Ontano International Airport is a good sign for the communities in the west end. inasmuch as it indicates that the entire area from which our passengers come Is growing large enough to arrant a first-class airport to serve it," Hamilton said.

They were sold long ago. And no other builder seems to have developed the techniques used by Voss. Principals in the auction were high in their praise of the Milton J. Wershow Co. of Los Angeles, which conducted the sale.

William S. Hubbard, inheritance tax appraiser for the estate, said the sale was "just about the smoothest I've seen," for one its size. Much of the success, he said, could be attributed to the administrators and the trust officers of the Bank of America who are handling the estate. The sale was a huge success for such a major undertaking, he said. Participants had anticipated that the sale might run as long as two days.

But auctioneer Milton Wershow and E. T. Hagerman, real estate division manager of the company, had the auction wrapped up shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday.

missed Thursday's auction. He entered a San Eemardmo hospital Wednesday night, and last night was listed in fair condition. Hallett Watson said that he and his uncle were the only two members of the famdy to see Voss in the past 20 years. A family dispute over another inheritance matter a quarter century ago left the family split, he said. Some of the heirs had not even heard of Voss before they learned of the inheritance.

The last two heirs turned up a little over a year ago one in Huntington Beach, the other in Los Angeles. Hallett Watson recalls that Voss was instrumental in building San Bernardino Valley College. During the 1930s he asked Hallct to come to San Bernardino to attend the college. Voss had no children of his own. But Watson didn't want to go to college.

Instead he went into business for himself. His inheritance may be substantial, but Watson really doesn't need it. For seven years he owned and Aircraft Castings in Bell Gardens. He recently sold the company, but still mis it as president. The company-built aluminum castings for all three stages for the Apollo 14 moon siiot, Watson said.

Voss was a plain man, Watson said. He wore bib overalls, and people who didn't know him would not have known that he was a millionaire. He didn't care to drink or play cards, and turned down offers to go on fishing trips with Watson. "For a fourth grade education, he did pretty well," said Watson. "He started out as a messenger boy riding a bike." Voss also was a bicycle racer during his youth, but apparently gave it up in later years.

No bicycles were found in the estate. There were a number of cars and trucks, though. The car Voss was driving the year he died, 1906, was a 1939 Mercury. He also owned a 1931 Cadillac that he had taken in on an estate deal, said Walsro. "He drove it twice and didn't like it," Watson said.

Voss parked the car in a garage, and left it there. It was found there after his death, covered with dust, and the tires flat Voss also owned "four or five old trucks," Watson said. But if he didn't have a truck handy, he made his cars do the work. "The cars were always beat to hell," Watson said. "If he wanted to move some lumber or equipment, he'd haul it with the car." Voss was "real proud" of his building construction techniques, Watson said.

"All of his buildings were poured concrete. He didn't believe in anything else. He developed standards forms for the work that could be transported from Do You Know Who This Woman Is? artist's sketch of Arizona murder virlim (Continued From Metro Page) jn property in which they are interested. In 1916 George Voss married his ousin, a fact which complicates the estate. A Superior Court judge ruled that the estate would go to relatives who were no more distant than first cousins of Voss and his wife, Lilla, who died in 19C3.

The biggest share of the estate probably will go to George Watson, cousin and brother-in-law of Voss. Next largest share probably will go to Hallett Watson, a nephew. The two men are coadministrators of the estate. But George Watson, 79, Quiiiihy Says Mcdi-Cal Cul Mis Elderly SACRAMENTO Cutbacks in the Medi-Cal program ordered by Gov. Keagan are killing old people, Assemblyman John P.

Quimby, D-Rialto, said yesterday. "I know this is a harsh statement to make, but there is no other way to put it," Quimby said. "Old people are being killed, and that's not just a figure of speech. I mean killed because of the Medi-Cal reductions." As a result of cutbacks, Quimby said, thousands of elderly persons in nursing homes are threatened with being uprooted and sent elsewhere. "I have seen first hand the trauma that an old person can suffer by being forced to move or merely thinking he might have to move, from a nursing home where he has finally found comfort and security," Quimby said.

He said his mother formerly operated a nursing home and that as a child he lived in the home with the elderly residents. "The elderly folks living in my mother's home were ambulatory and in relatively good health," he said. "In cases where they were forced to move by family circumstances or other reasons, or even though they might be forced to leave, the results often were fatal. "And what about the situations where the old person may be mentally or physically impaired? It doesn't lake much imagination to realize what is happening to these people who are facing the prospect of being forced out of the security of a particular nursing home. "1 would like to suggest that Governor Reagan pick out at random any nursing home for the aged.

I want him to walk up to any person there and tell him, 'The richest state in the richest nation in the world can't afford to let you stay here any longer'." Quimby said his remarks were prompted by the hearings conducted by the special bipartisan legislative committee investigating the i a i cutbacks in which it was revealed that wholesale removal of Medi-Cal patients from nursing homes is threatened. authorities to assist in identifying the woman. Fingerprints were obtained by the identification bureau here but a record check in Sacramento and Washington revealed that the woman apparently had never been fingerprinted. The woman is described as between 40 and 45 years, 5 feet, 4 inches tall, 125-140 pounds and having dark brown hair with a few grey strands. At the time her body was found, she was wearing a red, pink, and purple pullover blouse with long sleeves and epaulets, orange stretch pants, white anklets, and black shoes, size 5.

Sheriff Cisney said a pathologist reported the woman had had three children one of them by Caesarian section. The pathologist indicated that the woman had good dental work and apparently did not smoke. Anyone who may have seen this woman or knows her is asked to contact Sheriff Cisney or Det.

Sheriff Floyd Cisney of the Mohave County Sheriff's Office in Kingman said the body of a neatly-dressed woman was found in a deer bag on a side road off Highway 93, south of Kingman. He said she had apparently been dead for five to 21 days.

Although Cisney would not say exactly how the woman died, he did say she had been murdered. The Sun Bernardino County Sheriff's Office was requested by the Arizona Edison's Hales (Continued From Metro Page) of earnings without speculation about these items. Instead, Moeck said, the commission should provide a means for expedited offset relief for the utility if these costs rise appreciably in 1972. Other differences between the staff and the utility are over expenses involving taxes, production, transmission, distribution, promotion, dues, donations, and exploration. For example, Moeck recommends no Increase in 1D72 for sales expense.

"I believe that sales expense should not be directly related to customer growth In view of the rising costs and public concern over any sales promotion expense, the utility should make such adjustments as necessary not to increase the dollar level," Moeck said. Moeck also discounts $722,000 of Kdison's estimate for expenses relating to administrative and general office salary expense. "I have not included $47,000 of dues to chambers of commerce and similar organizations. "The second difference is the result of not including any amounts for exploration and development expense for uranium and geothcrmal development. "In excluding these amounts I am not criticizing the utility for its efforts in seeking sources of energy with which to generate electric energy.

"However, it should not be incumbent on Edison's customers to supply money for speculative exploration ventures," said Moeck.

Shaw Memorial directing. where the taxpayer elects to utilize the "standard deduction" he would be granted a $20 tax credit. Under this bill the tax benefits would be limited to students enrolled in kindergarten through the 12th grade. "Families with children in private schools are bearing an unfair double financial burden," Quimby said. "They are still paying their full school taxes while also paying tuition to the private school." Quimby said rising costs are forcing many private schools to close down, throwing a greater load on the public schools.

"We have long overlooked the great service private schools are contributing to education in California," he added. "It's hard enough now to raise tax monies to adequately finance the public schools. Just think what it would be like if the thousands of youngsters in private schools were added to the burden of the public schools. "While this bill certainly is not going to solve all the financial problems of the private schools, hopefully it will be a small step toward helping to keep those schools open so they can continue to play a significant role in the state educational program." Other legislation by Quimby would increase the pay for members of the California State Police and extend their workmen's compensation coverage. State police, the officers who guard state buildings, would be placed on a pay scale similar to the California Highway Patrol.

SACRAMENTO Assemblyman John P. Quimby has introduced bills to close a possible loophole in the state's topless and bottomless law and to give a tax break to families who send their children to private schools. Quimby, D-IUalto, said a recent municipal court decision has held that the current topless law docs not extend to theater productions where food or alcoholic beverages are served. While it gives local governments regulatory power over restaurants and nightclubs, it particularly exempts theaters. "In order to resolve this question." Quimby said, "the new legislation will clearly spell out that theaters which serve food and drinks are not exempt from the provisions of the law." Quimby, author of the original legislation, said it was the intent of the 196!) legislation that such theaters would be included.

Quimby also said he generally is pleased with the results of the law which has been in effect more than a year. "The entire purpose was to give local jurisdictions the right to decide whether they wanted to permit topless and bottomless entertainment in their areas," Quimby continued. "And the law has accomplished just that. Some cities and counties havi banned such entertainment while others have seen fit to lake no action." The other Quimby bill allows for a personal income tax deduction for tuition paid to a private school, and in cases Bernardino County citizen, will be held at 3 p.m. Monday at Bobbitt Memorial Chapel.
