A-8-Santa Crur Sentinel Tuesday, Oct. 5, 1982 New sexual themes Vide geammes me ireveealiirc New qualifications for salmon permits SACRAMENTO (AP) Individuals seeking commercial salmon fishing permits next season will have to meet new qualifications. The California Department of Fish and Game said Monday the new qualifications are in SB1917 by Sen. Barry Keene. D-Mendocino, signed Sept.

27 by Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. The new law redefines qualified individuals as those who: Owned a commercially registered salmon fishing vessel which was used to take and land salmon commercially in California during 1980 or 1981 or before Aug. 11. 1982.

or, Possessed a commercial salmon fishing permit in 1980, 1981 or 1982 and purchased, contracted for or had under construction a commercial salmon vessel before Aug. 11, 1982 "with good faith anticipation of that vessel's entry into the salmon fishery." Criteria for new entries will be recommended to the DFG by a Commercial Salmon Fishing Review Board composed of four vessel owners and a department representative. The number of new permits to be issued each year will be determined by the Fish and Game Commission on the basis of the "health and status of the salmon resource and the economic stability of the commercial salmon fishing industry." The deadline for submitting permit applications is April 1, 1983. LOS ANGELES (AP) "Custer Revenge" at first glance seems to be just another1 video game, but the difference is, ah, revealing. That difference is that "Custer's Revenge" and two other new video games about to reach the market "Bachelor Party" and "Beat 'Em and Eat Em" have blatantly sexual themes.

In "Custer's Revenge" Custer is wearing only boots and a hat and his intentions toward an Indian maiden are not those of an officer and a gentleman. The player earns points by coupling the male figure with the naked Indian maiden as many times as possible without being hit by an arrow. "Our object is not to arouse, our object is to entertain," said Stuart Kesten, president of American Multiple Industries, which will market the games under the brand name of Mystique Retailing. "When people play our games, we want them smiling, we want them laughing." Kesten said the games are not X-rated. That would imply that the games are pornographic or sexually explicit, he said, while they are actually cartoonlike The video games, which are marked "Not for sale to minors," will retail for $49 95 each, which is $10 to $15 more expensive than the costliest conventional video game.

All are designed for use on the basic Atari video game system. The games have been advertised in Playboy, Penthouse, and other magazines. The ad says, "When you score you score!" "Bachelor Party" is similar to Atari's "Breakout," in which the player tries to keep a ball in play to knock down a wall. In this game, however, the player makes points by making contact with female characters. The raciest game of the three is "Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em," which is difficult to describe with any degree of taste.

However, it is similar to Activision's "Kaboom," in which the player attempts to catch falling objects. The Mystique cassettes carry the Swedish Erotica insignia that is well known in the X-rated movie and video cassette trade. Kesten said the insignia was licensed from the parent Cabellero Control Co. to help give the games credibility with video outlets accustomed to selling those cassettes. He said the warning not to sell to minors is simply an exercise of responsibility.

Kesten, a former marketing executive in the cosmetics industry, created American Multiple Industries about a year ago in partnership with Joel Martin, who is executive vice president. Martin has a background in toy manufacturing. He said he hopes to have a total of 750,000 units of the three games on the market before Christmas. Kesten said parents may wish to keep the games away from children, but added. "If the kids get hold of them, it'll be OK.

There's nothing wrong. They're cartoonish, they're tongue-in-cheek adult situations that are not offensive except to the player when he doesn't score enough points." However, he suggested with "Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em" that "we should perhaps put a lock and key on. Even the title may not make it into certain stores." Eight plead innocent to charges of running xslave ring' in LA Mo) LOS ANGELES (AP) Eight people have pleaded innocent to charges of conspiring to import Indonesians illegally into the United States and sell them as indentured servants to wealthy families. U.S. District Judge Richard A.

Gadbois Jr. tentatively scheduled trial for Nov. 30 after the pleas connected to the alleged "slave ring" were entered Monday. Two others charged Sept. 23 in a 52-count federal grand jury indictment are still fugitives in Indonesia, authorities say.

The 10 are accused of conspiring "to bring some 50 Indonesians into the United States illegally and compel them to work as domestics Trott has said that the return tickets, passports and visas were immediately taken from the Indonesians when they arrived to keep them from returning The defendants include David Mussry and Mordecai Sassoon, who authorities say are fugitives in Jakarta, Indonesia. Those who pleaded innocent Monday were Mussry's sisters, Elsa Singman, Lily Judah and Hilda Sassoon of Los Angeles; Mussry's brother Mussry of Beverly Hills; Mussry's brothers-in-law, Jack Sassoon and Saul Mizrahie of Los Angeles; Mizrahie's son, Elie Mizrahie of Los Angeles, and Moses Aslam of Los Angeles. in homes in th Los Angeles area," said a statement by U.S. Attorney Stephen S. Trott.

The indictment says that the Indonesians, aged 18 to 40, worked either for the defendants or relatives of the defendants or for others. They paid $2,000 to $3,000 for each worker into an Indonesian bank, according to the charges. The people were rounded up between 1978 and mid-1981 in Indonesia to come to the United States and work for two to three years at jobs paying $100 a month to start, the indictment says. They allegedly were given passports, visas, round-trip plane tickets and "sometimes money to show immigration officials," the charges say. Copter crash Draft protest Filmmakers must comolv staged at UC with federal subpoenas 0 RATE IS GUARANTEED FOR A FULL YEAR! ACCOUNT INSURED TO $2000 DEPOSIT ENTITLES YOU TO FREE CHECKING AND OTHER FREE SERVICES! LOS ANGELES (AP) An attorney for "Twilight Zone" filmmakers says his clients will obey a court order to give scripts and drawings to authorities probing a helicopter crash that killed actor Vic Morrow and two children.

U.S. District Judge David Kenvon on Monday ordered director John Landis, associate producer George Folsey production manager Dan Allingham, Landis' Lavitsky Productions Inc. and other9 involved with the film to comply with National Transportation Safety Board subpoenas issued Aug. 16. "We have no problem with the judge's order," said attorney Martin E.

Rose, representing Landis, Folsey, Allingham and Lavitsky Productions. Rose said his clients had been concerned that confidential material in some of the subpoenaed documents might be made public by the NTSB, but that the judge had agreed to review any such documents and decide whether they had to be given to the investigators. "We were simply in court as a matter of principle to make sure the subpoena power of the NTSB was not abused," Rose said after Monday's 15-minute hearing. He said the subpoenaed documents were being photocopied for release to NTSB investigator Don Llorente, who was out of town- Monday and could not be reached for comment. Morrow, 53, Renee Shinn-ya Chen, 6, and My-Ca Dinh Le, 7, were killed during filming of a Vietnam battle scene in the early morning hours of July 23.

They were running through the Santa Clara river bed some 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles when debris from a special effects ground explosion apparently sheared off the tail rotor of a low- flying chopper that crashed on top of them, killing all three instantly. "When a tragic situation like this occurs, the NTSB is empowered to get to the bottom of a cause," Kenyon said. The NTSB went to court because of the defendants allegedly refused to comply fully with subpoenas for all scripts, related notes and graphic layouts for the Landis segment, one of four episodes in the film to be released next summer by Warner Bros. Rose claimed in his oral arguments that the subpoenas were overly broad, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Sullivan said the materials were needed.

"If we're trying to determine where the planning procedure and communications broke down in a manner that led to the helicopter being over an explosive that caused the crash, then we need to know who was doing what," Sullivan said after the hearing. Also on Monday, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health mailed out fine notices for 36 safety violation citations issued Wednesday against Landis, Warner Western Helicopters Lavitsky Productions and Burbank Studios. James Mason, district manager at Cal-OSHA's Panorama City office, said he could not disclose the amounts until he got back postal recipts showing the notices had been received, but agency officials said last week the fines could total tens of thousands of dollars. The district attorney's office has said it is awaiting the results of the NTSB and sheriff's investigations before deciding whether to file any criminal charges in connection with the accident. At a time of unpredictable interest rates, World's 1-YR PLAN brings you this high money-market rate and yield for one full in an account fully insured to $100,000 by an agency of the Federal Government.

Minimum investment only $2000. BERKELEY (AP) About 200 chanting anti-draft protesters staged a noisy demonstration and briefly disrupted operations in a University of California library to show their support for draft resister Benjamin Sasway. Monday night's demonstration protested Sasway's sentencing earlier in the day In San Diego. A federal judge ordered a 30-month prison term for Sasway, the first American since the Vietnam war to be jailed for failing to register for the draft. Chanting, "Free Sasway Jail Reagan" and "One-Two-Three-Four, No Draft, No War," the marchers moved across campus and to an undergraduate library, interrupting latenight study and snarling stairway traffic.

Campus police aide Hansen Pang said officers encountered no problems with the demonstration. At Stanford University, a group called Stanford Against Conscription planned a candlelight vigil tonight at the U.S. Post Office on the Stanford campus, a group spokesman said. Battered women defined as xclass' LOS ANGELES (AP) Battered women have been legally defined as a "class" and thus are "allowed to continue their class-action lawsuit against the city's police, who the women say won't arrest husbands for wife-beating. Superior Court Judge Norman Dowds issued the ruling Monday in the two-year-old lawsuit.

"To be certified as a class means that individual women who feel they've been badly treated by the LAPD (in domestic violence cases) do not have to come and make their own case in court," said attorney Lora Weinruth, representing the Battered Women's Legal Counseling service in Los Angeles. A previous judge had ruled police did not have to turn over records on domestic violence cases until it was determined Whether the class action would be allowed, Ms. Weinruth said. The suit filed in August 1979 alleges that police routinely ignore or ridicule women victims of domestic violence. The complaint asks that police be ordered to change their policy toward battered women, that a crisis-intervention training program be instituted to educate police and that a shelter for battered women be established.

Both the city attorney's office and Police Chief Daryl Gates have repeatedly denied the women's allegations, saying domestic violence cases are handled like any other case. MEMBER 0 Here's how World's 1-YR PLAN works: The Plan is nominally a 42-month account that PAYS A REMARKABLE 20.76 interest the first year, then 1 annually for the remaining term. But the first year interest is so high that you can close your account at the end of one year, take the interest penalty imposed by law for an early closing, and still enjoy the handsome net rate and yield for the first year! FSLIC INSURED TO $100,000 Your deposit of $2000 or more entitles you to a host of FREE services at World like FREE Checking-with-lnterest and a FREE safe-deposit box be sure to inquire when you come in to open your 1-YR PLAN! Don't wait another day to lock in this high interest! Net rate and net yield assume your 42-month account is closed and an interest penalty is paid at the end of one full year (both principal and interest having remained on deposit at this rate the entire time). Interest compounded continuously. Substantial interest penalty for premature closing at any time prior to 42 months, but closing at the one-year point is to your maximum advantage.
