CHARTER REFORM LOCAL RESORTS Resorts International Inc. opened the first gambling casino on the East Coast on May 26, 1978 as part of an effort to revitalize the Atlantic City tourist in- dustry. It operated on a temporary license throughout 1978, managing to gross over $119 million during its fir st seven months. This made it one of the most profitable casino operations in the world. During early fall. Mayor Frank Rizzo led a major campaign to change the Philadelphia City Charter. The proposed amendment would have enabled Rizzo to run for a third term when his second term ends in 1980. The amendment was defeated on November 7, 1978 in a city-wide election. Charges of illegal voting machine transfers and tampering with voting machines in some sections of the city, grew out of the November 7, 1978 elections, but election committee officer Marge Tar- taglione was later acquitted of all wrong-doing. ALONZO DEAL SPORTS Philadelphia Officer James Ramp was slain on August 8, 1978 during the storm- ing of a house occupied by well-armed members of the MOVE organization that had been holed up in the house for several months. Thirteen others, in- cluded two MOVE members, were in - jured during the assault. After the shootout, controversy arose about the beating of Delbert Africa by police dur- ing his arrest. Philadelphia Police Of- ficer Alonzo Deal, who is also President of the North Philadelphia Action Board of the NAACP, sharply critized the way in which the incident was handled. Deal later retired from the force and was suspended from the Fraternal Or- der of Police for two years and fined $1000. The Philadelphia Eagles football team finished with a record of nine wins and seven losses last season. This turned out to be its first winning season since 1966, and it also meant a spot in the 1978 Championship Playoffs. The Flyers also made it into the playoffs again under new coach Pat Quinn. After a strong showing against Vancouver, the Flyers were defeated by a surprisingly strong New York Rangers club. And last but not least the 76 ' ers play- ing one of their most impressive seasons in recent years were edged out in the semi-finals of the NBA playoffs by San Antonio in a 4-3 best of seven series.
