Pyar Thieves. hit the . 2 jackpot CARSON . CITY, - NEV. (AP) — Gaming officials say they won't reveal how “very sophisticated” thieves rigged a progressive slot machine to pay out a record $1.7 million because they don’t want the theft to inspire other crimes. The thieves manipulated a machine at Harrah's Tahoe hotel-casino Aug. 19, when a retired San Francisco ware- houseman hit the winning line of triple bars with a $100 investment and an hour's play, officials said. ‘The Nevada Gaming Con- trol: Board cancelled. the jackpot, of which about $200,000 had been paid to 61-year-old Gus Econopoulos. . Harrah's stopped payment on the balance. The cancellation — Nev- ada’s first on a big jackpot because of fraud — was or- dered after computer and slot machine. investigators “determined that the slot machine was. electronically manipilated,” ‘said board chairman Jim Avance. Econopoulos has been in hiding for his own safety, al- though authorities know where he is, Avance. said. Econopoulos was “extensive- ly questioned” after author- ities located him at a rela- tive’s home shortly after he hit the jackpot, he said. The thieves used “very, sophisticated” methods to rig the machine, said Avance. He added, however: “We don’t want to divulge to others how the machines can be manipulated.” ti NEW YORK (REUTER) |) civilian plane when they |: Only thought the Sovietsdid not | | The poll, taken shortly |. “about 4 Asked about spedihie ae: ¥ tions that‘ might‘be taken’ cent opposed such a move. ; U.S.-Soviet grain deal, but } - n Bank of C OTTO) think-we fees, very. ey, rMactechon said. “W. d three new think -ouk, response has ‘bee ¥ still wren for. chat was given @ sprucing up this week in front of the bank.

RECEIVES REPORT Deputy White House press secretary Leslie Janka said the purpose of the meeting with Shultz was to receive a report on the secretary's just-completed trip to Madrid. Shultz told an. East-West conference on human rights the downing of the jetliner was only the most recent of many cases in which the Soviets have “treated their commitments to human rights with open contempt.” Although the airplane crash was discussed with the security council, the spokesman said, the secret meeting was devoted largely to other pending issues which had been put off last week. Reagan convened an emergency session of the council last week to consider the U.S. response to downing of the jumbo jet by a missile fired by a Soviet fighter plane. At his first news conference as president, on Jan. 29, Dealer destroys Lada in protest 1981, Reagan said the Kremlin leadership had “openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat, in order to attain that.” “I was charged with: being too harsh in my language,” he said Saturday. ACT INOPPOSITE But he told his radio audience: “Rather than tell the truth about the Korean Air Lines massacre, rather than immediately and publicly investigate the crash, explain to the world how it happened, punish those guilty of the crime, co-operate in efforts to find the wreckage and recover the bodies, apologize and offer to the families and work to prevent a repetition, they have done the opposite. “They've stonewalled the world, mobilizing their entire government behind a massive coverup, then brazenly threatening to kill more men, women and children should ' another civilian airliner make the same mistake as KAL 007.” TORONTO (CP) — A deal- er has deliberately wrecked.a Soviet-built Lada car to ex- or Press his anger and sadness Heroes Square, since Hitler appeared on a balcony of the former palace to’ declare ‘Austria a part of the Third Reich.

Set to the tune of The Eye of the Tiger, the theme of the movie Rocky III by Survivor, the song protests the Soviet attack last week 2 an unarmed Korean Air Lines jet carrying 269 peopl “That Korean pleas it happened so fast, they shot it , down with Russian glory,” is one of the lines. “I've been thinking about it ever since the incident,” said lyricist Kip Kraddock, who co-hosts KLRZ-FM’s morning show along with Steve Craig. “It took me about 16 minutes to write it, and five hours later we had it all down,” Kraddock said. Since first being aired earlier this week, the song has prompted thousands of listeners to phone in their comments, ranging from “thanks for making a message” to “it’s inciting hatred,” KLRZ general manager Rich Marston said. But the response has heavily favored the song, Marston said, and “the poll is 90 per cent Positive and 10 per gent negative.” Kraddock and Craig have previously poked musical fun at local events, writing lyrics about cable television regulation and Utah's spring flooding set to popular tunes. Kraddock's sense of patriotism is reflected in the line, “When this car was taken as a trade-in it was worth $3,995," salesman Dennis Stellinga said. “Now it’s not worth 50 cents.” ica’s freedom is not gonna stop, we're‘ sick of this Soviet jive,” and Marston said he hopes listeners will write their rs and take “intell action” on such incidents.
