July 12, 198 irtrlrtr 0 SXxmnn-fi9 1 Nevada Record mmiHUM iwmmmimAwmmmmimmmmtmmmimim Total 1397 Alioto Hails Gun Turn-in Casinos Get $387 Million i c2 rikj Ul'v- tie CARSON CITY (Nev.) (AP) Nevada casinos won a record $387 million in the last fiscal year, and one state gaming official said today one of the reasons for the boom is the presence of novice gambler Howard Hughes. The state said the casinos report of gross revenue the amount lost by patrons at the gaming tables is an 8.3 percent or $30 million increase over the 1967 fiscal year. "Casino owners are scratching their heads wondering where the business is among urban residents, Alioto said: "Arming begets arming and we are going to have large vigilante armies facing each other if that philosophy prevails. It is a very dangerous philosophy." In reply to assertions that the American society is violent by nature, the mayor said: PRIVATE POLICE "That's nonsense!" Also classed as nonsense by Alioto was the often stated assertion that "every person yiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiinimHiu Park-Rec Bond Cutback coming from," said Wayne Pearson, member of the State Gaming Control Board. "One guy is even convinced the reason for the good business is the world situation," Pearson said.

"He thinks people have an attitude of live, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die." Pearson described the gaming increase in the last six months as "phenomenal, particularly in Las Vegas. "The presence of Hughes is undoubtedly a factor," he said. other parts of San Francisco, said Acting General Manager Edward A. McDevitt. An obvious boost was given this "truncated" bond measure by M.

Justin Herman, executive director of the Redevelopment Agency, who said The City will either have to pay that amount in cash and in credits earned by its own improvements in that area to make up its share of the Hunters Point Redevelop- ment project. RCA AMMarine Portable his the in The billionaire industri-alist, licensed to operate gambling casinos only 14 months ago, has purchased five Las Vegas casinos and waits word from ihe Justice Department's anti-trust division on whether he can buy sixth. "I didn't think much about Hughes talk until I started making trips to Southern California," said Pearson. "But the first thing people ask me is about Hughes and what a good thing he is for Las Vegas. Other parts of The City have plenty of City-built facilities to provide the necessary credits: he said, but not that area.

McDevitt commented there has been no major recreation-park projects built there about 19 years. The commission proposed $13 rmll'cn bend issue last month to make up for the $14.4 issue deieated at the polls in earlj June but was Band Radio See?

''-I think it is a healthy transformation in any society when we can progress from burning books to burning guns," noted the mayor. He also reminded San Franciscans that the opportunity to turn in guns on a no-questions-asked basis ends at midnight Sunday. Discoursing at length on the futility of arms races Computer Meet Out, Room The computer industry's conference, held biennially in San Francisco since 1960, has cancelled its 1970 and 1972 convention dates here. And it doesn't take a computer to figure out why, the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau indicated in its announcement yesterday.

"The decision to hold the 1970 and 1972 Joint Computer Conferences elsewhere was prompted by the prospect of inadequate exhibit facilities here," Richard L. Swig, the bureau's president, said. SHORT SPACE Swig said the data process ing group's exhibit space requirements in 1970 will be more than 200,000 square feet. Brooks Hall, which the conference has been using, has about 100,000 square feet of display space. The annual conference, sponsored by the American Federation Information Processing Societies, is held alternately in the East and the West and attracts some 6000 participants.

Cancellation of the two dates will cost The City more than $2 million, the bureau estimates. CONTINGENT This fall's conference and the one scheduled for 1974 have not been cancelled, Swig said. "However, whether they convene in San Francisco six years from now is contingent on completion of the meeting and exhibit facilities planned for the South of Market Yer-ba Buena Sports and Convention Complex," he said. Swig said the same applies to the organization's tentative 1976, 1978 and 1980 bookings and warned that The City was procrastinating "dangerously long" in breaking ground for the Yeba Buena project. The complex is scheduled to begin July, 1970, and be completed in mid-1973.

It would provide The City with an additional 350,000 square feet of exhibit space plus 50,000 square feet of auxiliary meeting space. "Our problem is that "association executives are currently reserving convention space for the late 1970s," Swig said. "We must be able to show them definities and explicit plans for our new convention plant now when future bookings are being made, or lose this business to our competitors." 1 even when you're out at sea special marine band "built-in" compass, with "bleep" finder) telescoping monopole marine band antenna ferrite rod AM antenna with earphone, 3 batteries dye-cast front $30 13.99 4-Transistor "Cannon" Wine Bottle 'Precisely, they equate Hughes with good treatment." Las Vegas casinos accounted for more than half of th industry's gross revenue in the 1968 fiscal year t7Zl million. In the first three months of 1968 casino revenue increased 25 percent in Las Vegas. "This is a staggering figure," said Pearson.

"The year 1968 is not exactly a vigilante year," ob served the mayor. "We don't need vigilantes in San Fran cisco because we have a fine police department perfectly capable of taking care of citizens." Vigilantes, according to Alioto, "represent merely an increase in the dangers of living." LOSERS FBI statistics, said the mayor, indicate persons using a gun in self defense usually are losers in brushes with armed criminals. "The ultimate instrument of intolerance that's what assassination is," declared Alioto.

He termed the audience which heckled the late Sen. Robert Kennedy on the University of San Francisco campus "was in an earlier stage of that intolerance."
