Lawmakers have labeled slots as sources of theft bribes and kickbacks in off duty clubs, with the Army recently destroying over a million dollars worth of machines in Vietnam.

Soviets Press for Big 4 Stand on Mideast Peace
The Soviet Union urged the Big Four to push Israel to withdraw from occupied Arab land as part of a broader Middle East accord. Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad discussed Israel's reply with U N mediators and pressed for a stronger Western role in peace talks. Soviet officials met British Prime Minister Heath in London and urged coordinated pressure, warning against a renewed conflict. Washington declined moving the Big Four talks earlier, keeping them set for Thursday. Israel reiterated readiness to discuss withdrawal with Arab states but not to the pre-1967 borders. The cease-fire’s end loomed as Egypt vowed to persist in seeking a settlement despite Israel’s stance.
