The Board of Zoning Adjust
ments will hold a public hearing
on 80 requests for exceptions to

ing
Among the appeals to be con-
sidered is one by Lawrence I. Peak

zoned neighborhood.
Last year. the board permitted
him to put d commercial art

convert four nearby garages to
commercial storage use.
At that time. neighboring
Georgetown residents appeared to
oppose any commercial use of
the property.
Mr.. Peak will ask permission
this time to establish general
storage, commercial art studios,
plastic studios, ceramic studios, a
craftsman studio, hobby studio,
millinery studio, automobile repair
shop, paint shop, radio service
shop, trade school, architects Of
flee or Photographic studio at the
location.

to construct Retreat for Friend
less Maiden Ladies" at the north
west corner of Military road and
Twenty-seventh street NV. A
trust fund for this purpose was
left by Miss Anna r. Shoemaker,
who died here In 1927.
The Zoning Commission early
this month cleared the way for
the adjustment board to consider
the exception.
An appeal will be heard for con-
|tinued use of property in the 1900
block of Jonquil street NV. for
dermitory purposes in connection
with Marjorie Webster Junior Col
lege pending completion Of a new

Publisher Is Silent
After Court Enjoins
Article on HOUSING
BY the Associated Press

PASCO, Wash, Nov. 19.-Pub-
Usher Glenn Lee received numer-
GUS kilograms and telephone calls
from over the country today on a
restraining order TO prevent his
newspaper from publishing an
article dealing with nearby low
cost housing construction.
But Mr.. Lee, publisher of the
daily Tri-City Herald, still said he
could not comment on the case
until after the court hearing next
Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Lee returned late today
after being out of town for
week. The court issued the re-
strainer yesterday because con-
struction company charged the
article, one of series. might have
an adverse effect on a pending
court action. The company also
brought a 100000 suit against
the newspaper for articles al
ready published, saying they con-
tanned untrue and damaging
statements"
Editors Executive Protests.
A wire from the American
Society of Newspaper Editors
(ASNE) said the case set a
highly dangerous precedent of
restraining before publication" )"
The telegram was signed by B. M.
>McKelway, editor of The Wash
ington Star. who Is president Of
the society.
Superior Judge B. B. Horrigan
issued a restraining order at the
request of the Columbia Construc-
ton Co., Inc, contractors for the
project, on the edge Of the Han
ford atomic works. =
The order came an hour or so
before deadline, and the Herald
pulled out its story to comply.
The paper already had printed
three stories in an illustrated series
sharply critical Of the quality of
construction by the company.
Contempt Is Charged.
The company alleged that
printing OF the articles while a
company suit to collect from a
war veteran tenant is pending in
court constituted an obstruction
of justice and contempt of court.

owner, with Danny Sullivan OF
the prosperous Nevada Club here.
Detective Sergt. Michael Saloni-
san said: 1T couldn't have been
robbery: it must have been re-
venge."
Police Chief L. r. Greeson said:
I'm some respects it looks like a
local job, rather than an outside
job"
In Fitzgerald's background there
is a Michigan gambling case in
which he and Sullivan were
charged with corrupting State
officials. Whether the shooting
had anything to do with that case
was not known"
Shot Down at Garage Door.
Fitzgerald was cut down at the
entrance to his garage, just be-
fore he and his wife, Meta, 38,
were to leave for his club. He
had gone to the garage to take
the car out. She still was in the
house.
The gunman fred just as the
gambler swung up the overhead
door. The light was on. He was
silhouetted in the doorway.
It is quite possible that Fitz-
gerald saw the man who shot him.
But his condition was SO critical
he couldn't be questioned. Blood
transfusions kept him alive.
The gunman fred two blasts
almost simultaneously - from a
double-barrel shotgun. one missed.
The assilant stood so close that
wadding from the shotgun shell
was impacted in the gaping
wound.
Came From Michigan.
Fitzgerald and Sullivan came to
Reno from Macomb County. Mich,
several years ago. Last year. after
a long fight against extradition,
they pleaded guilty in Macomb
County to gambling charges. and
were assessed $4,000 in fines and
costs. The charges grew out OF
Michigan's biggest gambling in
vestigation, which involved state
police and county officials In
bribery accusations.
Gambling is legal and wide-open
in Nevada. Reno has had no real
gangster- type crimes. Old-timers
remember no previous attempt of
the kind on a gamblers life.
Speaking of himself and Fitz-
gerald, Sullivan had said, We're
not gangsters; we're just gam
blers"
The gunman must have hidden
behind a hedge. in a dark patio,
at the edge Of the garage. There
had been no alarm from the dog
at the house next door.

Whether the District will ex-

cided.
The city does plan to microfilm
the rest Of the 8,278.000 papers

This is expected to take until Oc-

This structure will not be in
cluded in the restoration as only

AS a matter Of fact, Mr.. Wall
said, more is known about the
time of Gen. Washington's own

period from 1902 to 1883 when
it was owned by various heirs OF

It seems that Gen. Washington
