The FBI said Wednesday that Burke was currently in a federal prison in Danbury. on a parole violation.

Two suspects in the Lufthansa heist, which was pulled off by five masked gunmen, disappeared within a month of the robbery.

They allegedly tried to fix six Boston College basketball games against Providence, Harvard, UCLA, Fordham, St.John's and Holy Cross. The indictment said the players were paid a specific amount of money pergame for shaving points so that Boston College would win by less than the point spread when favored and lose by more than the point spread when underdogs.

In other words, if Boston was favored by eight points and won by only six, a Bettor who put a wager on Boston's opponent would win his bet. Similarly, if Boston College was expected to lose by sue and lost by eight, a bet on the opponent would win. Kenneth Walton, deputy assistant director of the New York FBI office, said Kuhn and the Perlas surrendered Wednesday at the FBI's Brooklyn office.

Pitcher Frank Pastore started working a construction Job this week in California. Third baseman Ray Knight said he's looked after a few business ventures and is enjoying a summer with his 2-year-old son, Brooks. In both cases, the players said it's a tough adjustment to a summer without baseball. "I've done a few commer-cials and some appearances," Knight said.

"Irs all up to Howard (Slusher). I'll go to camp when he tells me to." said Jefferson, who led the National Football League with 13 touchdowns last season. The only receiver to sur- Sass 1,000 yards in his first iree seasons, Jefferson, the Chargers' No.l drraft choice in 1978, has missed four days of training camp.

A year ago, defensive tackle Fred Dean missed all of training camp and didn't report until the third game of him about $20,000 in salary. Jefferson's salary dispute comes as 12-year veteran wide receiver Charlie Joiner mulls retirement. Joiner, who turns 34 in October, said last week, "Frankly, I don't know how much longer I can play.

The 28-year-old infielder said the strike has cost him some possible promotional work and personal appearances. "People are skeptical about hiring a baseball player right now or making any commitments to him because of the strike situation," Knight said.

"You can't really blame them. I'd back off a little, too." But Knight said money is not a problem. He has used some of his free time to look after a sporting goods store he owns in San Diego and a clothing store of which he is part owner in his hometown of Albany, Ga.

My timing would be off a little, but I'm ready to play." The 23-year-old Pastore isn't in such solid financial shape. He went to work Monday for a construction firm owned by his father-in-law.

"I swallowed my pride, I guess," Pastore said. "I'd do anything to put food on the table." The right-hander estimated he'll earn $8 to $10 an hour for general maintenance work. This week, he was helping to dig a ditch in the California desert where the firm is working on an office building. "I had my feelers out (for a job), and this seemed like the best deal," he said. "1 didn't want to go to work for a bank and work as a teller and start on the ground floor." One day, the temperature at the construction site nudged close to 100 degrees.

"But the humidity is only about 5 or 10 percent, so it's not too bad," he said. "Still, it's hard to go from a major league salary to this."
