Smith Voters Clash Over Nevada Commission Ruling
Attorney Jack Streeter said the appeal would go to the Nevada Supreme Court after Atty. Gen. Harvey Dickerson announced plans to seek reversal of Dist. Judge John Gabrielli's ruling. Gabrielli found the commission illegal for abdicating legislative authority and dismissed Smith's $263,000 damages claim. Smith, El Capitan Casino Restaurant operator, had sued the panel for unconstitutional harassment and sought damages and an injunction barring testimony. He testified the business policy of not serving Negroes at hearings reflected his general practice and was supported by customers.
