At twilight, when all the horse UPI Sfaff Wrl!., . . l ufj v .t i UPI Staff Writer . WASHINGTON (UPI) - One day a frustrated citizen, tempo-' rarily In a state of involuntary, bankruptcy, pasted this sign on a j Las Vegas slot machine: "In case ; of air raid stand beside this ma-! chine. Nobody has hit it yet." The man was over-stating the case, of course, because some body hits slot machines just often enough to keep the customers coming back. Gambling is not only legal in Nevada, it is on the level. The odds against a rou 'Ictte player are about five per cent, but he knows that when he goes into the game. When a gambling house covers all bets in a dice game, the odds against the players are at least 1.4 per cent. Just stay there long enough and you will lose your shirt. The only thing a legal gam bling house has to worry about is to keep enough cash on hand to . tide itself . over when a high rolling player gets hot. Sooner or later the odds will begin to work and the man who hasn't sense enough to quit when he is well ahead goes broke. The legend about the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo is a pretty . story, but it's fiction. Bemoan Pari-Mutuel v Horse bettors are a melan choly breed of men, anyway, but they complain loudly about the injustice of pari-mutuel betting. What it means is that it is legal in many states to bet on a horse ' provided you are on the premises of the track. It you walk a block away from the track, betting is - illegal.- Now the horse players have an other complaint. Several years - nnn tha Tntnmnl llavaniiii CjirtMna issued orders that any person winning more than $600 on a $2 bet would have to identify him self to collect his money. This happens mostly in the daily double. You pick horses in the first and second races for the ' price of a single ticket, and if usually are good On Oct. 3, 1960, the rule struck Belmont Park in New York with some strange results. The daily double paid $693 for every $2 tick et purchased and the winners were invited to collect their mon ey by identifying themselves by Social Security cards or driver's license. The track announced that the identity of the winners would have to be reported to the Inter nal Revenue Service. He'll continue his climbing WASHINGTON (UPI) James W. Whittaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mt. Ever est, said today he would continue to climb mountains. "I love the mountains and I will continue to climb them," the 34-year-old mountaineer from Red mond, Wash., said in a shortwave radio and telephone interview from Katmandu, Nepal. Poor reception and electrical interference prevented the 6 foot 5 inch Washingtonian from com pleting an answer to the question of what other climbing feat could match the conquest of the world's highest mountain. Oregon members of the expedi tion could not be reached, but it was learned they and other Pa cific Northwest members of the group expected to return home in July. CITATION ISSUED City police Wednesday issued a basic rule violation citation to James Eldon White, Route 1, Box 202. Bail was fixed at $23. players had gone home, the track still had $46,477 unclaimed by winners of the daily double. For reasons of their own, the persons holding the tickets preferred to pass up the money rather than identify themselves, and the state treasury profited accordingly. Recalls Series Fix Tremendous sums are b e t on sports events in the United States and from time to time attempts are made to fix the games. The most notorious attempt was suc cessfulgamblers got to enough members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox to allow the Cincinnati Reds to win the World Series. The White Sox may have been the greatest baseball team ever as sembled and the public made them such heavy betting favorites that the gamblers got attractive odds. College basketball scandals have been common in recent years, but a new element has entered the wagering. The gam blers don't ask an athlete to lose the game but merely to "shave the points". Team A is a six point favorite over Team B. A gambler takes Team B plus six points and then bribes a couple of athletes on Team A to insure that they don't win by more than five. The recent suspension of Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Pack ers and Alex Karras of the De troit Lions of the National Foot ball League has raised the prob lem on whether it is ethical for an athlete to bet on himself or on his own team. This issue is hotly debated on the first tee of many country clubs as soon as the members of the foursome get through putting up the bets on themselves for the day's play. Another quake jolts region j SAN DIEGO (UPI) A sharp earthquake, the second this week, ' jolted parts of Mexico. San Diego and Imperial counties Wednesday afternoon, seismologists reported. Fred Robinson, a seismologist , here, said he recorded "a series ; of quakes" starting 11 seconds be-1 fore the disturbance was reported in Pasadena at the California In stitute of Technology seismo-1 graphic laboratory. Dr. Charles Richter of Caltech i said the temblor had a magnitude of 5 on the Richter scale and was 1 recorded at 3:15 p.m. He said the tremor was nearly as strong as one registered Tuesday. Both quakes were centered in the area of Baja California, Mexi co. U.S. questions commandos MIAMI (UPI) U. S. author ities today questioned a small 1 band of Cuban commandos who claimed they badly damaged Cu ba's biggest distillery, killed many soldiers and sank a patrol boat during a raid this week. The 10 raiders were detained Wednesday when they pulled into the Florida Keys in a white-sailed fishing schooner with two prison ers and an anti-Communist sea man who sought asylum in the United States. They said they com mandeered the boat after their own cannon-loaded converted PT boat sank during a sea battle aft er midnight Tuesday. Joseph Fortier, director of the Miami customs office, said the two Cuban soldiers the raiders captured probably would be al lowed to return to their home land. The raiders face possible charges of neutrality act vio lations, according to Fortier. President Kennedy calls defeat of measure to aid unemployment areas as 'tragic' WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy today described as ! tragic the House defeat of his I bill to expand federal aid to com ' munities suffering chronic uncm 1 ployment. i He said he will resubmit the measure to Congress shortly in hope of reversing the outcome. I The House turned down the pro posal Wednesday in Kennedy's biggest legislative defeat of the I year. Some viewed the outcome , as part of the price he must pay for his tough new civil rights stand. I Kennedy issued a special state ment in which he said defeat of the proposal "could not have come at a worse time." 'This program must not be al- foes. But a tight party-line stand . sota and southern Illinois were by the Republicans against the bill also contributed to its defeat. In his statement, Kennedy said: "The tragic defeat. . .could not have come at a worse time. Un employment persists, our dis tressed areas need help and scores of hard-hit communities in Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, up state New York, upstate Minne- This program must not be al lowed to die and it is my inten tion to give the Congress another opportunity to support it."
