GAMBLING
Chips from the Old Block
</hdr><body>
<p> Cash-strapped Donald Trump surprised all the experts last
December when he came up with an $18.4 million bond payment on
his Trump Castle casino in Atlantic City. At the time, Trump
explained that the casino got an infusion of a "relatively
small amount of money." Relative is right. The Wall Street
Journal reported last week that Trump's 85-year-old father
Fred, a megarich developer based in Brooklyn, dispatched a
lawyer in December to buy $3 million worth of chips at Trump
Castle, in effect giving Donald a loan. Last week the younger
Trump would acknowledge only that "a group bought some chips,
and that's not a totally unstandard thing." According to casino
regulators, this would mean they will have to evaluate whoever
bought the chips to determine whether the individuals are
legally qualified to be investors in the casino business.
