VA contact office restoration unlikely in Las Vegas
Charles Pecharsky of the Division of Veterans Benefits in Washington says the Las Vegas Veterans Contact Office is unlikely to reopen soon. The office existed 1946 to 1961 but closed due to diminishing workload. A Los Angeles VA representative now handles inquiries, visiting Las Vegas weekly. A two man state Commission of Veterans Affairs is now serving locally.

Grand Jury Move Nears Reality in Clark County
Clark County appears closer to launching a grand jury as Dist. Atty. George Franklin moves to collect the required 3 791 signatures from registered voters. He plans a Jaycee Fair booth to finish gathering support and has asked judges to call a grand jury to speed felony case handling, though judges oppose day to day jury inquiries.
