Las Vegas Valley sinking;
not dangerous say experts
Small-time gamblers

Friday, October 3, 1975
The stiae attraction of the I
decade becomes the greatest
entertainment event in history!
LAS VEGAS (T)A -Lush green
golf courses, trees and mani-
cured lawns carpet this desert
gambling oasis, but there is a
price to be paid for turning bar-
ren sand into a garden.
Las Vegas is slowly sinking
and the famed Las Vegas Strip
is going fastest of all.
STUDIES by the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) ard
the Desert Research Instiute
show that the Las Vegas Valley
is dropping by about two or
three inches a year, almost five
feet since 1933 when Las Vegas
was just a small, parched speck
of desert.
Las Vegas is still desert, but
when the casinos moved in
alongside the massive Lake
Mead Reservoir behind toover
Dam, something had to give and
it was the land.
The force of about 12 billion
tons of pressure created by Lake
Mead, combined with an ever
accelerating use of the water
beneath the desert floor, ac-
counts for the subsidence.
ONE OF the major areas of
subsidence is the Las Vegas
Strip, particularly between the
Tropicana Hotel and the Desert,
Inn.
Experts agree there is ;io real'
danger. The faults will not cause
earthquakes and most buildings;
will withstand the slippage. I
But cracks have shown up in,
pavement around the area and
in concrete walls near the strip.
DR. GEORGE Maxey of the
Desert Research Institute said
the slippage would pose no dan-
ger to people living in the area
but may cost them money for
property damage repairs.
"We think it's important for
the people to know about it,"
he said. "Some real estate
agents might not want people
to know about it because land
values might fall."
The reason the major strip
casinos were built on an area
that is suspectible to slippage1
was that land there was cheap

"I NOTICED he had no lug-
gage, no clothing or anything,"
T h o r n s l e y commented. "I
thought that was a little strange.
A person traveling has got to
haveeat least something.g"
Royce told Thornsley he had
run away from home following
a heated dispute with his par-
ents.
"I finally pulled his phone
number from him and called
his home," Thornsley added.
"His mother asked me if he had
a gun .. . and told me he was
wanted for armed kidnapping
and extortion."
FOLLOWING Royce's arrest,
he struggled with Thornsley
while the police chief was phon-
ing the Sheriff's Department in
neighboring Bryan.
"He attacked me and we
fought down the stairs and into
the street. I had one of those
snub-nosed guns and pulled it
on him, so he lay down in the
street."
Following an extensive inves-
tigation during yesterday's early
morning hours, FBI agents de-
termined Szynwelski was in To-
ledo, officials said.
~ ~
three gunmen forced their way
into his Waldenwood Lane home;
early Monday evening, initially
demanding "ridiculous sums of1
money."
After Schulenberg claimed he
did not keep large amountsof
cash in his home, two of the~
men fled, allegedly forcing the
executive's wife, Ruth, and her
three teenage sons, Bob, 16,
Jeff, 15, and Bill, 11, into the:
trunk of a company-owned red
Cadillac.
According to Schulenberg, the
third suspect held him at gun-
point for nearly thirteen hours,
forcing the executive to phone I
other GM officials and friends
to arrange for ransom payment:
and the release of his family.
ALL hostages were released{
unharmed Tuesday morning.
NEW YORK ()-Most widows -
prefer going on vacaton to
places where they went with
their late husbands, according
to Mrs. Beatrice L. Green, ex-
ecutive director of the Widows
Travel Club, which arranges for
widows to meet for traveling
purposes.
"One of their most important
possessions is their memories,"
points out Mrs. Green, "and the;
widows enjoy going back to
places where they had fond
memories when they were mar-
ried."
