City liability insurance policy up to 1 million approved
City Atty Carl Lovell says Las Vegas may need liability coverage beyond 25 000 per claimant. He cites past votes by former commissioner George Franklin who backed similar protection. Lovell notes government liability expands with proprietary functions and cites two policies: 300 000 primary and 1 million umbrella. Franklin voted for the Dec 27 1972 plan but was late for the Jan 17 1973 reconsideration.

Grand jury to probe Nevada prison riot deaths
District Judge Frank Gregory ordered a grand jury after Nevada Atty. Gen. Robert List sought indictments for a racial riot at the state prison last October that left two black men dead. List's office has charged 20 white and Indian inmates with capital murder, murder, and attempted murder. The preliminary hearing for 19 inmates has lagged ten days amid courtroom disruptions and defense delays. List aims to avoid further hearings by proceeding to indictments via the grand jury. Judge Gregory will summon 100 prospective jurors, reduce to 17, with the state bearing trial costs. The riot at the prison mess hall on October 10 left Ralph Alfonzo and Harold Wilson dead by knife wounds and six others wounded.
