JOINTS Z82U G094 3U DMA 15 125P WRB LASVEGAS WHGFS EEB LA 1942 JAN » 5 AM tl 5i GRIG JT WHG FS EEB LA CY WRB LASVEGAS CONFIRMING PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MR* GUILD! I WANT ALL THREE OF YOU TO BE AT LASVEGAS TOMORROW MORNING GET A COPY OF LETTER FROM EDITOR CAHLAN OF THE LASVEGAS EVENING REVIEW-JOURNAL, DETERMINE WHAT ALL OF THE FACTS ARE, AND ADVISE ME WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I AM COMPLETELY FED UP NOW ON THESE CONTROVERSIES OF THE LASVEGAS LAND AND WATER COMPANY BETWEEN BRACKEN, STRONG, BENNETT, AND WHAT NOT. UNLESS WE CAN GET THAT SITUATION IN HAND, THERE IS JUST ONE OF THREE THINGS TO DO — THAT IS TO GET SOMEONE AT LASVEGAS TO HANDLE THE BUSINESS OF THE LASVEGAS LAND AND WATER COMPANY INTELLIGENTLY, OR SECONDLY TO SEE THAT BRACKEN IS GETTING THE PROPER ADVICE FROM LOSANGELES IF HE ISN'T GETTING IT, OR THIRD, DISPOSE OF THE WATER COMPANY. WE HAVE BEEN IN A CONTINUAL TURMOIL NOW FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AT LASVEGAS BETWEEN BRACKEN AND FOLGER ON THE ONE HAND AND OUR LOSANGELES PEOPLE ON THE OTHER, AND I PROPOSE NOW TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT, IF NECESSARY TO GET RID OF THE WHOLE OUTFIT BOTH AT LASVEGAS AND AT LOSANGELES. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. I HAVE GOT MY TEETH IN THIS THING NOW, AND I AM GOING TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT OR GET OFFICERS ON THE JOB WHO WILL HANDLE IT. WHAT'S GOING ON NOW IS JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM GLORIFIED MESSENGER BOYS. J-17. WMJ.
