HE SAID OFFICERS also waited to make an arrest because "they didn't know whether it (the buy) was a ripoff or real drugs." A state toxicologist later determined the pills were "illicitly manufactured" and real in their content, but Strong said the decision to charge Jones was hastened when Miss Vaughn's undercover role was blown. The prosecutor said the narcotics officer was attempting to set up other buys when she arrested a friend of Jones', Marty Croslin, who "tipped him she was a cop." JONES' DEFENSE was that he "was not the (Continued From Page One) Raybin asked Criminal Court Judge John Draper to raise the bond to $10,000.

"He was very disturbed," said Walker, explaining that his client also insisted on a jury trial because "basically it was one lady police officer's word against his." I WHAT JURIES are for."

Strong said prosecutors were willing to settle the case for 30-90 days to avoid having to put a police informant on the witness stand, but walker said he does not recall the 90-day offer.

Instead, he said, Raybin offered to settle the case for a guilty plea and a one-year sentence. Although Walker said he plans to appeal, the attorney said matters could be worse. The jury could have found the defendant guilty of selling drugs and sentenced him to 4-10 years in prison.

"All our profits went back into the stadium. If the city had built the stadium for us, we would've made somewhere around $800,000 for the first two years. I think the Owners will receive dividends next year if we have another successful season at the gate." SCHMITTOU SAID he hopes to help solve the Sounds' two major problems ticket control and lack of administrative help with the hiring of insurance executive George Dyce as a full-time business manager. Dyce worked in the Sounds' office last year on a part-time basis. Schmittou said he will retain the role as president and general manager of the team with Farrell Owens moving to Director of Sales and Public Relations.

Qxiiimniiu ACHAT CINE (Continued From Page One) required that we spend only so therefore, we have three times the park that we were obliged to build and it did not cost the taxpayer one red cent. 1 2. All profits from both 1978 and 1979 have been spent on the cost of the stadium. 3. Of the 1.5 million dollar cost, less than 13 is tied up in long term financing.

4. Even though we have not declared dividends to any of our owners the equity of each owner has doubled. '5. In 1979 alone the Nashville Sounds spent $358,358.00 in addition to property and equipment while also reducing the principle on their long term indebtedness by approximately $40,000.00. In two years of the Nashville Sounds existence, we nave paid out $601,957.00 in new jobs, $36,752.00 as its share of FICA taxes, $13,953.00 in state employment taxes, $17,200.00 to Metro in leasehold taxes, and $65,703.00 in sales tax.

7. The audit shows the Nashville Sounds has become a million dollar business and helped to in stimulate our economy by four or five million dollars, in addition to bringing 70 days of good family entertainment to our community. Schmittou said he disclosed some facts of the audit only because of "some adverse publicity I received when the audit was ordered." He was the target of accusations by an "unnamed source" in a front page story in the Nashville Banner last month which charged Schmittou with "mismanagement of club funds, lack of communication with the other owners, and a bad relationship with his employees." "I think this audit showed where all the money has been spent," said Schmittou. "I haven't had any owners come to me with any disenchantment. The order of an audit was blown way out of proportion.

Anyone who was discontented can sure take a look at it." SCHMITTOU IS one of the major stockholders in the Sounds' organization. He is the general partner and there are 15 other limited partners, all of whom have publicly lauded Schmittou for his management and promotional talents in building the Sounds into the most successful franchise in the minor leagues. After two years of record attendances at the Sounds' park, none of the owners have yet to receive any cash dividends although they have all, Schmittou included, had to pay taxes on large amounts of profit.

(UPI) The father of leukemia victim Chad Green denied yesterday a newspaper report that said he planned to reap $1 million from book rights on the "story of his son's fight for life. called the report "a bunch of gar- bage." Gerald Green, Hastings, denied the report In Sunday's Boston Globe quoting him as saying he and his wife, Diana, had rejected $100,000 from one of the publishers competing for the book rights because, "It's worth a million." CHAD HAD BEEN treated with the controversial drug laetrile before his death. Green acknowledged he and his wife had been approached by a publishing agent about the book, but he said no monetary amount was discussed. Green said the Globe's story was "grossly misconstrued." "As far as we're concerned we're not interested in any money.

We want Chad's story to be told because we think it is important to the public they need to know what's going on," Green said. "SO I SAID to the newspaper as far as we're concerned Chad's life was worth more than a million dollars to us," Green said. "So money doesn't really matter." Green said he and his wife began their book months before Chad's Oct. 12 death in Tijuana, Mexico. Chad died after his parents reportedly decided to cut off the chemotherapy treatments he was receiving at a Tijuana clinic, preferring to treat their son with laetrille and ioy ii iiEy IK mm Jill hi HELD OVER 2nd WEEK!
