13. 1978 20 Cents Newsstand Price NY lottery appeal falls after initial boom Novelty wanes, sales decrease ALBANY (AP) Although it's a game in which the house can't lose, the state's take from its lottery is falling sharply below expectations. In fact, current projections are that the lottery this fiscal year will yield about 25 percent less than the $120 million lottery officials had originally predicted or no more than it made in a six-month period a year ago. Director John Quinn once asserted the lottery eventually might be raising "maybe $700 million a year, maybe even $1 billion." But that looks like a distant dream now. "We had a great surge when we est prize being a free ticket, have been improved from 10 to 1 to 5 to 1 in an attempt to boost sales.

Still, the state cannot lose on the games, which Quinn calls a form of "voluntary taxation." The only question is how much it will make. Out of every $1 ticket, the state takes 45 cents for its budget, and another 15 cents for administrative costs. The remaining 40 cents goes into a winners' pool. The tax man takes his first cut even before a "millionaire" winner gets to take home his or her first check. began the lottery in September of 1976, breaking world records in sales, and now that has stabilized," George Yamin, a spokesman for the lottery, said.

The state's take from the lottery this fiscal year, which ends March 30, should total slightly more than $90 million, Yamin said. Next year's estimated revenues are about $95 million. The lottery program was revived in September 1976 after being shut down for a year after a mismanagement scandal. And it made $90.5 million for the state from September 1976 to said. The lottery has attempted to maintain bettors' interest by frequent changes of the popular "instant games" in which wagerers rub off a protective coating on the ticket to learn if they have won, and by continually revising and adding to the format of other games.

The average life of an "instant game" is three months, although some of the more popular games have been extended for as long as nine months.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) Three men were killed when a bomb exploded early today outside a hotel where 12 Asian and Pacific government chiefs were staying. Police reported seven other persons injured in the blast, heard four miles from the luxury hotel. Police said none of the government chiefs was injured.

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Eraser, who was in the hotel when the blast went off, issued a statement saying the meeting, Australia's larg panel WASHINGTON (AP) The bargaining council of the United Mine Workers union overwhelmingly rejected a proposed settlement of the nationwide coal strike yesterday. It ordered President Arnold Miller to begin new negotiations with the soft coal industry. The 30-6 vote came on the 69th day of the strike, one day after the Carter administration ordered emergency plans be drawn up for moving coal to areas critically short of fuel to produce electric power.

The council's vote was only a reaffirmation of its first unofficial rejection of the three-year contract last Friday. At the time, the council conducted a straw vote, in which 33 of 36 members voted against the contract. Because Miller was not present for the session, the vote had to be formalized. The protracted coal strike by some 160,000 miners the longest in the nation's history is threatening some midwestern and Appalachian states with critical fuel shortages. "It's just too bad," said Miller.

He had refused to attend Friday's session, protesting what he called pressure tactics by miners who massed in the lobby of the union's headquarters here, demanding that the pact be voted down. Miller, who had sought approval of the contract offered by the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, made little effort to conceal his feelings about the latest development. "I did not enumerate it," he said, when asked to give the vote by which the council rejected the pact. "It doesn't mean anything anyway On Saturday, Miller told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he fears for his life. "I'm not going to present this contract to the council under conditions of mob rule," he said.

Harrison Combs, general counsel of the UMW, said the contract was rejected 30-6 with three members of the 39-member council absent Miller said after the vote that he notified Joseph Brennan, president of the VCOA, and that he would ask that negotiations resume. Brennan criticized the vote on the pact, which Labor Secretary L. Ray Marshall called fair. "We are appalled at the action of the bargaining council in rejecting this agreement, which will make coal miners the highest paid industrial workers, guarantee their health and retirement benefits, begin the process of restoring labor stability to the coalfields, and return productivity growth to the coal industry," the statement said Brennan said there was no word yesterday on when negotiations would resume.

The bomb exploded less than an hour after the government chiefs entered the hotel following a night cruise on Sydney harbor.
