Josephine Smith uneral Service Held By UNITED PRESS Hie Nevada tax commission has torpedoed Tony Stral plans to erect a lavish 1000 oom $5000000 resort hotel to be known as 1he Stardust on the Las Vegas Strip The seven commissioners voted unanimously to inform Stralla sometimes known as Tony Corne ro that his past record is such that he will not be granted a state gam bling license now or at any time in the future Commissioner Robert Allen of Carson Citv commented that the former California gambling boat operator was you might call persona non with the tax commission The matter was brought before the commission yesterday by its chairman Gov Charles Russell who said that during a recent trip 1o Los Angeles he had read a news paper article quoting Stralla as saying he had been given clearance for his Nevada gambling license Russell and the other commis sioners declared this was not true Not only has Stralla not been oked for a gambling license the com missioners said but as far as they arc concerned he never will be Associated with him in lhe ven ture are Benjamin Silver of Beverly Hills and Katherne Kastris one time secretary to Gov ernor Russell Commission members said they regarded the venture as primarily a promotion project and indicated the Securities Exchange Commis sion would be informed of the agency's stand in the matter in the event any stock selling campaigns were involved The commission's action would not prevent Stralla from erecting the hotel but in the past no such venture has ever been undertaken unless a gambling license is issued to permit operation of the casino from which the profits of such en terprises are derived Wells Gambling Licenses Limited to Curb Cheating 14 Games Will Be Operated OUR DELICIOUS VARIETIES Concord Grape
