Burns 'can't afford to die'
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) ? Comedian George Burns signec
i five-year contract with Caesars World, vowing to see th<
ract through to its conclusion because '*1 can't afford to di<
hen I'm booked."
Burns, 87, joked with reporters at the announcement Tues
day, making frequent references to his age.
"The last time I played Caesars Palace, it was owned b)
lulius," Burns dead-panned. He called himself the origina
performer for the Roman Empire.
Burns will star at Caesars Palace in Las Vega and Caesar:
Tahoe in Stateline, Nev. His first engagement for the resor
chain is Dec. 27 through Jan. 1 at the Lake Tahoe property
The contract calls for a two-year option at the end of the five
year period.
He is currently at the Las Vegas resort filming "Oh, Got
111." In a departure from his two previous "Oh, God" films
the new movie will feature Burns as both God and the devil. I
is scheduled tor release by Warner Bros, in 1984.
Burns was a fixture on the Las Vegas stage for years, in
troducing such stars as Ann-Margaret and Bobby Darin. H<
quit appearing in the city nearly 20 years ago, then returnee
last year for a series of sell-out engagements at the Sahara
Hotel.
Burns recently authored the book "How to Live to be 100
or More!" which is described as "the ultimate diet, sex and ex
ercise book."

Accountability Project asked the
NRC branch in April to probe allegations
of harrassment, intimidation and
faulty construction raised three years
ago by more than two dozen welding
quality control inspectors, Lowe said.
: The investigation "pushes Catawba
; into the forefront of troubled nuclear
i construction projects," Lowe said.
"I've passed the word to the
workers that if they ever want their
: concerns about deliberate violations of
the law to be investigated that O.l. investigators
are extremely capable of
doing the job," said Billie Garde,
i director of the GAP citizen's clinic.

evidenced by the quality of their investigation,"
she said.
A representative of the GAP went to
the NRC in Washington with evidence
and testimony from welding inspectors
and convinced the investigative branch
to look into the allegations, Lowe said.
The Palmetto Alliance claims there
have been systematic deficiencies in the
quality assurances at the Catawba
plant sufficient to leave doubt whether
the plant is constructed safely.
The group believes the plant should
be reinspected. ^
IN A related development, Lowe
said the licensing board agreed N
Wednesday in Rock Hill to take in
camera testimony from former and
current uuKe rower employees on
safety related concerns at the station.
