NEW YORK (AP) — A more ef

states next year, two years after a
ave of lawsuits and adverse public-
y drove all similar birth control de-

The Copper T 380A “is the most
effective IUD available anywhere,”
said George Zeidenstein, president
of the Population Council. Studies
show that over a year’s time an aver
age of one woman out of 100 using it
will get pregnant.
The agreement between the Pop
ulation Council and GynoMed fol
lows a year-long search for a com
pany that would market the device
with appropriate safety precautions,
Zeidenstein said.
The product’s availability should
help alleviate the problem of un
wanted pregnancy, which is due pri
marily to lack of birth control op
tions and misunderstanding, said

iams Webster, the former director
of the FBI. “And gambling is still the
largest source of revenue for orga-
gized crime.”
■ Another highly placed official
quoted by Christian Life said that le-
■lized gambling just adds to the
pool of gamblers.
■ “When you introduce gambling to
an area where they never had gam
bling before, you now develop a new
group of individuals who start to

would be required to apply for a li
cense at least every three years and
the commission could deny a license
if unethical or criminal behavior was
found in the applicant’s back
ground, the bill says.
The commission would license
three types of horse tracks:
Class 1 tracks could have 44 or
more racing days per year and be lo
cated in an area with at least a pop
ulation of 750,000. This catagory in
cludes Dallas, Houston and San
Antonio. No more than four Class 1
tracks could operate statewide and
the application fee would be at least
$15,000.
Class 2 tracks could have 16 to 22
days of racing. Many of the tracks al
ready existing in Texas would qual
ify for this category. The application
fee would be at least $7,500.
Class 3 tracks could have no more
than 16 days of racing per year and
would be considered county fair
tracks. The application fee would be
at least $2,500.
The three greyhound race tracks
the commission could license would
be limited to the Gulf Coast counties
of Galveston, Nueces and Cameron.
The license application fee for these
tracks would be at least $20,000.
“A race-track license applicant
would have to be a United States citi
zen and a 10-year resident of Tex
as,” the bill states.
If the applicant were a corpora
tion, it would have to be incorpo
rated in Texas and over 50 percent
of the stock would have to be owned
by Texans. Any partnership, firm or
association applying for a race-track
license would nave to reside in Texas
at least 10 years.
Restriction and enforcement du
ties of the commission go beyond the
licensing of the race-track’s owners,
employees and jockeys. The com
mission’s business includes approv
ing all racing officials for each race
and requiring drug testing for the
animals before and after the each
race, the bill states.
Pari-mutuel literally means “a mu
tual wager.”
“The term refers to a betting pool
in which those who bet on the win
ners of the first three places in a race
share the total amount of money wa
gered, minus a percentage for the
management of the track,” the bill
states.
The economic breakdown of the
betting dollar would be distributed
among the state, race winners and
the race track operators. Of each
betting dollar almost 82 cents would
be returned to the bettor in the form
of payoffs.
The “takeout” is the remaining 18
cents. This 18 cents would be di
vided as follows: 5 cents for the state
tax, 5 cents for the race purse, and 8
cents for the track’s facility and im
provements.

Tuesday because of something
that happened on Monday,
though.”
I The stock market’s future ac
tivity will determine whether re
cruiting will diminish, Van Pelt
said.
“Depending on when and how
much the stock market rebounds,
there may be very little — if any
— effect on hiring,” he said.
The hoped-for rebound may
not be imminent. Maurice said he
does not expect a rapid or sub
stantial rise in the stock market.
“People are a little scared right
now because they’ve taken quite a
beating over the past couple of
weeks,” Maurice said. “There has
been so much volatility in the
market that the people who got
out are not looking to get back in
until it settles down. I don’t look
for another rapid decline, but I
don’t look for a rapid rise either.”
The market should pull back
up slowly over the next year,
Maurice said. The capital and
manufacturing capability of the
United States has not been lost, so
a recession is unlikely.
“We won’t have a recession
purely because the stock market
failed,” he said. “The only thing
that could cause a recession is if
Congress and the administration
panic and pass a tax increase.
This would cut purchasing power
and consumer spending, which
could pull us into a mild recession
later this year or early next year.”
