Chances Fade
For Slot Bill
Delegate Disclose:
Trude of Votes
BY PAUL HOPE

ANNAPOLIS. April Last
minute attempts will be made
today to push through legisla-
ton on two issues which have
become intertwined-slot ma
chimes and reapportionment,
Chances for either were fading
rapidly.
A bill which would require
full disclosure Of any financial
interest in slot machines is
scheduled to come before the
House Of Delegates. If it passes
there, sponsors hope to rush it
through the Senate before the
General Assembly goes home
The lawmakers hope to ad-
journ tonight.
Two bills aimed at reappor-
tioning seats in the General
Assembly to give the big subur-
ban counties more representa-
ton are scheduled to come up
in the Senate. One has been
turned down and the other ap-
proved by the House of Dele

ate are slim.
It was disclosed yesterday
that a lawmaker from st. Marys
County said he traded his vote
on reapportionment last week
for some votes against sbills to
ban slot machines. st. MaryS

Extra Precautions
But for the time being Secret

be that an effort might be
made to kidnap Caroline, the
alternative action in the orig

nothing happens to the little
