A UPI report notes the Galveston casino and club closures by the Maceo interests affecting about 609 workers. Beach-area leaders say business remains alive with strong tourism, though some fear the island risks losing its gambling revenue and status as a resort mecca. A separate UPI item reports a temporary injunction against two tele firms over gambling information and halting horse racing negotiations.
