Girardeau was assigned to investigate the Loudd case by Rep. Don Hazelton, chairman of the House Corrections, Probation and Parole Committee. "My investigation is not i a i yet but my preliminary indications are that Rommie Loudd is in- nocent and should not be in jail," hesaid.

Loudd, who headed the team in the now-defunct WFL, was convicted in November, 1975 of two counts of cocaine delivery and sentenced to concurrent 14-year sentences. He is now in Avon Park Correc- tional Institution. Loudd also was convicted in' Boston in March, 1976, of cocaine delivery. i a a said con- versations with Loudd and others in the case show that Skates, an inmate who was convicted on bad check charges, was sent to the Avon Park prison with, a contract to kill Loudd. Girardeau said -Skates, who released, backed of the contract and told Loudd pf the plan: Skates, said Girardeau, has been released and now is in hiding and afraid to go to authorities.

Loudd, said- Girardeau, may have, been lured into setting up a drug'deal under the pretense he was receiving financing for the Blazers. "I believe organized crime is involved in this," said Girardeau.

''Why would some one want'to kill him after he was already tried and convicted on charges of having a con- trolled substance?" The Justice Department is now reviewing the case to determine if it will conduct an investiation into possible civil rights violations. Orange-Osceola state at- torney Robert Eagen said earlier week he was investigating the death threat report but that he had not found any evidence to the story. Loudd, 43, a star end at UCLA, was a linebacker for the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers, the then- Boston Patriots and also played in Canada. He was the highest ranking black executive in the a i a Football League as player personnel i the New England He also was the first black assistant coach in the American Football League in 1966. He decided to leave the NFL post with the Patriots for a chance to become the nation's first black football team owner with the Florida Blazers of the WFL in Orlando.
