THf TENNESSIAM. W4nedoy. Stptwb 28, H77 13 MDHA Seeks Mall Builder for Downtown Plan Church Street and across the top of the parking garage, Herrington said. Herrington said MDHA will resell most of the property to private dev elopers who must use the land for developments consistent with the downtown redevelopment plan. Herrington said buildings occupied by First American National Bank and Baker's Shoe Store would be acquired and torn down.

The plan calls for Capitol Boulevard to be redeveloped into a mall which would be extended across tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, officials said. The northern section of the block and the eastern half of the block north of Broadway between Sixth and Seventh avenues would be reserved for 800 high rise apartment units and office space, according to MDHA executive director Jack Herrington. The area south of the Cain-Sloan parking facility would be set aside as parking for the apartment complex. PART OF the package approved yesterday included a request of the Metro Traffic and Parking Commission for "air and surface" rights to use the top of the parking facili- to buy two buildings on Church Street (across from Capitol Boulevard), property south of the Cain-Sloan parking garage, the entire block across Fifth Avenue, North, from the Ryman Auditorium and half the block east of the Masonic Lodge on Seventh Avenue. MDHA officials said the land acquisition will be the first step in a redevelopment of the Ryman and Church Street area which is expected to cost between $35 million and $40 million.

Truck Runs Into Lake, Woodbine Man Killed I1KUST WORTHY I I DRUGS The TRUSTWORTHY Shield Sign of By GEORGE WATSON JR. A Woodbine man was killed yesterday when his pickup truck plunged into Percy Priest Lake and police were trying to determine the cause of the mishap last night.

Mark A. Reneau, 23, of 2218 Winford apparently drowned when his 1973 Chevrolet pickup truck ran into the lake at the end of Old Hickory Boulevard, sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., police said. Brakes Failed? THE TRUCK with Reneau 's body lying in the front seat was pulled from the lake shortly after 7 p.m. following a two-hour effort by rescue workers.

Harv Belcher, 42, of Hermitage, was fishing in the area in his boat about 2:30 p.m. and spotted the partially-submerged truck. "I went over to the truck in my boat and when I reached inside I felt an Shriver said he could not say with any degree of certainty that the presence of the movie houses, peep shows and adult bookstores is a "necessary attraction" to the various activities going on in the area. "THERE WAS some indication," he said, "that the presence of the massage parlors and dirty-book stores attracted some of that type activities. It appears that the closing of the massage parlors in the area just ran those people out on the street." Spain said the police "know this type of thing is going on down there" and believes it could be stopped.

"If the Police Department would really get on the ball," the councilman said, "they could stop it. You see what they did with the massage parlors. "Instead of two reporters down there last week, the police should have had two undercover officers down there bustin' the hell out of them."

THE TRUCK was taken to a Nashville garage last night where it was discovered "the brakes were not working," said Metro traffic officer W.S. Roberts. But Roberts and traffic investigator D.T. Parrish said a further check of the brakes was being made to determine exactly why the brakes were not working. "We don't have any reason right now to suspect foul play, but we still don't know why the brakes were not working either," Parrish said.

THE TRUCK plunged into the lake, near Bell Road, about 124 feet beyond a three-feet high wooden post which the vehicle knocked down as it headed into the water. A fisherman told police the wooden post was standing when he left the area about but it was down when he returned about 11 a.m. There were no skid marks and Parrish said it appeared the vehicle was traveling at high speed. THE TRUCK, investigators said, landed between 125-140 feet into the lake in about 15 feet of water. Police chaplain Herb McCoy said the victim lived with his parents until June when he moved out.

McCoy was trying to determine where Reneau had been living and work ing. McCoy and police investigators were also trying to establish where the victim was going at the time of his death, and where he had been. "This is really a pretty strange case right now, and we have just got to get a lot of things together before we can say what happened," Parrish said. Robert Brandt ruled Memphis police officers were due the payment. Edwards filed suit for the IPU after the Memphis suit was decided and said later he registered as a lobbyist to work for passage of the appropriation.

THE FEE did not become the subject of controversy until Brandt ruled that Edwards' lawsuit constituted a "class action," meaning all Metro of- ficers who had taken the in service training would benefit from the action. Several officers argued they were not members of the IPU and had not authorized Edwards to represent them. The IPU executive committee voted to hire Edwards in an action approved by its general membership. Only 200 officers attended that meeting and several officers argued they were not IPU members and therefore not responsible for any of Edwards' fee.

They also found evidence of hard drugs, female impersonators, and homosexuals making contact with each other. After publication of articles describing the situation, Mayor Richard Fulton asked the Police Department to assign walking patrols in the area. The walking patrolmen were on the job last night. Dist.

Gen. Thomas Shriver said his office has presented pornography cases to the last two grand juries "and got no true bills." "WE ARE preparing more pornography cases for the present grand jury," Shriver said. "We usually have several cases for each grand jury. "It's a cumbersome procedure that we have to go through to prepare a case. First, we have to make a buy from an adult bookstore).

Then, we have to formally notify the proposed defendant that we plan to apply for a warrant. Then, a hearing is' held to determine whether a warrant should issue." Shriver said his office has made no concentrated effort to crack down on the pornographic movies and peep shows. "THAT KIND of case is almost impossible to make," Shriver said. "The movie law is so tough that we have to send somebody to see the movie, then come back and describe it to a judge vividly enough for the judge to enjoin its showing. Then the movie must be shown in court.

"We believe, however, that the movies are less harmful than the magazines. The movies are no harm beyond the eyes of the person who sees it. But, there's no ultimate control over the magazines or into whose hands they might fall." Saturday Flea Mart Slated at Glencliff The Glencliff High School Alumni Association will sponsor a flea market from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in the high school parking lot.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Glencluff Glencliff Alumni Association scholarship fund. A spokesman said 92 booths are available for the event with some 70 already Lawyer Cuts Fee Supplement Pay Freed for Police (Continued From Page One) the amounts vary from officer to officer, the lowest bonus for those two years is estimated to be $1,000. Payment of the bonus has been delayed for several months while state and Metro officials attempted to determine who would be liable for Edwards' fees. STATE OFFICIALS refused to release the money until a dispute over Edward's $187,500 fee request was resolved. State officials said they feared that if the funds were distributed to the officers, Edwards would hold them liable.

Metro officials argued they could not honor a contract between Edwards and the IPU for 15 of the proceeds of $1.25 million allotment because state law prohibited the use of the funds for anything but police pay. Edwards' claim surfaced after the Tennessee General Assembly appropriated funds for the bonuses and after Chancellor SHOP YOUR NEARBY TWD STORE TODAY SAVE ON YOUR Rx!
