Marv Albert rehired as sports announcer 2 NEW YORK — An apologetic Marv Albert, whose career col lapsed 10 months ago because of a sex scandal, was rehired Wednes day by the Madison Square Gar den Network to anchor a nightly sports show and do radio play-by play on New York Knicks games, “What I did was wrong,” Albert said at a news conference. He apologized for his role in the scan dal that cost him his job telecast ing NBA basketball games and NFL football for NBC. Albert’s new job takes him full circle; he began his career in the 1960s broadcasting New York Knicks and Rangers games on the radio and was the Knicks’ TV voice for MSG before his downfall. In addition to calling about half the Knicks games on radio, Albert will anchor “MSG Sports Desk,” a half-hour nightly roundup of lo cal sports. He debuts Sept. 14. Southern heat wave still not subsiding 3 DALLAS, Texas — Health de partment phone lines were jammed Wednesday with calls from people worried about sur viving the searing heat as Texas had its 10th straight day of 100 degree temperatures. The heat wave has been blamed for nearly 50 deaths throughout the South. Callers to the Dallas County health depart ment wanted to know how to avoid becoming a statistic. “People need to take this heat seriously,” said Betty Culbreath, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services. “We just don’t want to lose any more lives.” The heat wave has stretched from Arizona into Colorado and east to Florida, but has been partic ularly deadly across the South. It is blamed for at least 25 deaths in Texas, six in Oklahoma and at least 20 in Louisiana since mid-Mav. Tribes hope to save slot machines Leaders claim that federal plans to seize the casino machines are an attack on sovereignty By John K. Wiley The Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. — Colville Confederated Tribes leaders plan a rally and march in front of the U.S. Courthouse in what they hope will be a show of public op position to federal efforts to re move slot machines from reserva tion casinos. Meanwhile, a court hearing on a government request to seize 1,814 slot machines, originally sched uled Thursday, was postponed un til next month. The slots are in six casinos operated by the Colvilles and Spokane Tribe of Indians. The Colvilles’ “Save Our Sover eignty” campaign was formed af ter U.S. Attorney James Connelly last month filed for civil forfeiture of the slots, contending they are il legal under both state and federal laws, Colvilles spokeswoman Sheila Whitelaw said. The Colvilles operate 794 of the gambling devices in three casinos, while the Spokanes operate at least another 1,020 slots at three casinos. Neither tribe has negoti ated compacts with the state al lowing Nevada-style gambling, as called for under the Indian Gam ing Regulatory Act of 1988. Both tribes contend the state ne gotiated in bad faith and runs a lot tery, so no compacts are neces sary. Both contend that, as sovereigns, they do not need state permission to operate casinos. “We want the general public to know a bit more about sovereignty and how extremely important it is to the Colville Indian Nation,” Whitelaw said from the tribes’ headquarters at Nespelem. “Sov ereignty definitely is involved in any attack on the way the tribe does business ... from the Depart ment of Justice to the state of Washington, or anyone else. ” Members of the 8,450-person tribe — some wearing traditional regalia — plan to walk past the federal courthouse on Thursday in a procession from Riverfront Park, and then return to the park for a rally, Whitelaw said. The rally is the culmination of the Colvilles’ public relations campaign, which uses television and radio commercials featuring tribal leaders asking for the pub lic’s support of reservation gam bling and tribal sovereignty. But assistant U.S. attorney James Shively said the legality of slot machines, not sovereignty, is the only issue in dispute. Similar forfeiture actions against tribal casino slot machines are being litigated in federal courts in California. “The tribes have only that de gree of sovereignty that Congress chooses to give diem," Shively said. “Congress can strip it all away if it wants to.” The Colvilles campaign has pro duced more than 7,000 supportive letters from individuals and orga nizations to President Clinton and other administration and congres sional officials, Whitelaw said. Tribal leaders hope to sway public opinion that Nevada-style gambling brings prosperity not only to Indians, but also to com munities adjacent to the tribes’ 1.4-million-acre reservation. The Colvilles won’t release casi no revenues, but have said the gambling operations employ 650 people and pump nearly $7 mil lion a year into tribal and local economies.
