But with more than two months to go before they alight, the Jacksons are creating a royal tempest in a teapot among local promoters who want a piece, however small, of the action.

The Jacksons' national tour promoter, Chuck Sullivan, said in Kansas City last weekend that a black promoter would be chosen in each city hosting the tour. That narrowed the field considerably in Philadelphia, where the dominant promoter of concert shows at John F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium is the white-owned Electric Factory Concerts Inc. "We've been interviewing several promoters who've promoted concerts in Philadelphia and other Sullivan told the Daily News in a telephone interview yesterday from his New York headquarters. Although not all promoters being interviewed are based in Philadelphia, he said all have experience putting on shows here.

He refused to name anyone in the running. Two black promoters in Philadelphia Georgie Woods and Rick Peterson said yesterday, however, that they have been talking with Sullivan about the possibility of handling the Jacksons when they perform on Oct 5-6 and possibly for a third date on Oct 7. Woods, a local radio personality, has promoted the Jacksons whenever they played in Philadelphia in the past, and expects that the group won't forget him. "Ill be the one to get it, they told me," Woods said. Peterson, a relative newcomer to the concert scene, has presented shows at the NU-TEC in North Philadelphia and at area colleges under the name Our Gang Entertainment.

He is teaming with a loca' Hispanic concert promoter, George Pere2, and His Hotness, Too Thanks to yesterday's heat and humidity, Carl Jackson had more than just a last name in common with a certain superstar. Jack- NU-TEC Asked to Give Up Liquor License Staff Photography by MdiMl Itorcwitl from work at the Quality Thrift which in itself is not against board regulations. The LCB, however, alleged that the license had actually been purchased by NU-TEC and that NU-TEC is retaining the liquor profits and intermingling funds with the club in violation of board regulations. The board also charged that NU-TEC was admitting non-members to its bars in violation of the club license that restricts liquor sales to club members only. DiVito, the LCB counsel, said he expected NU-TEC to voluntarily give up the license.

Not relinquishing the son was hot, so he took a break Shop on N. 63rd Street. The LCB stopped short of formally revoking the license, an action that would have prevented NU-TEC operators from selling liquor for a minimum of three years, according to LCB chief counsel Gary DiVito. Instead, it opted for a plan that temporarily halts liquor sales, but which could lead to a settlement allowing NU-TEC, at some point, to resume operating its bars, or to possibly sell the license and buy another. NU-TEC, according to LCB documents, has been using a club liquor license registered to the 15th Ward By MICHAEL SOKOLOVE Daily News Staff Writer The state Liquor Control Board yesterday asked NU-TEC, the troubled North Broad Street entertainment complex, to voluntarily give up its liquor license for at least 30 days, pending a final decision by the board.

The board delayed a final decision on penalties against the complex pending discussions with officials from the city of Philadelphia and other public agencies, which may be forced to pay off debts. The license." used tc sell liquor In NTJ-TEC's upstairs disco and lounges, has been especially important as a revenue producer, according to persons familiar with the NU-TEC operation, because the complex has not regularly booked shows into its theater.
