..... Atari, Inc. is making numerous distributor realignments, a complete list
of which was not available from the firm at press time. A spokesman for
Atari said the nationwide readjustment was in the making at late April,
but added that the approach to selecting the new distributors was "scatter
gun and not complete." The move is believed to be providing more exclusive
distributorships for Atari products . . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

..... Washington Governor Dixie Lee Ray gave tavern and card room operators a break--
tabulated at $612,500 a year-- by vetoing a measure that would have allowed the
state to take over an expiring federal tax on gambling de v ices. The measure had
been designed to prevent an expected loss of revenue when ~ the federal tax expires
June 30. The governor said she vetoed the bill because it " raised unanswered
technical questions and made the ultimate effect of the bill indefinite. (See
story inside this issue, AOE seminars, for another view of the expiring federal
law. ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . • . . . . . . :· . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The feds, reacting to criticism that the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin is unpopular
because it can be confused with a quarter, are looking into the possibility
of the U.S. Mint making it a _different color, such as brass. However, a
Mint spokesman has stated any change it might make would have to be acceptable
to the coin-op and vending industry. Any such change would require an Act of
Congress since the act authorizing the one dollar coin specifies cupro-nickel
clad coinage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
