NEW JERSEY'S FIRST OFFSET DAILY 107THYEARNO.262 Vineland, N.J., Saturday, November 6, 1982 Sa Twenty Cents Doctor Says Bank Job Suspect High on Cocaine During under New Jersey criminal law. Kleiner first disqualified Teich as an expert witness because defense lawyer Stomel failed to demonstrate the doctor's work had acquainted him well enough with drugs and their effects on the behavior of users to testify. But following an exhaustive legal argument outside the jury's presence, Talasnik said he would consent to having Teich recalled to (Continued on Page 10, Col. 3) other criminal proceedings in New York, California and North Carolina. But Talasnik noted on cross-examination that Teich has not testified previously in a case where the defense for a crime was pathological intoxication.

Through questioning, the prosecutor also demonstrated that Teich was not well acquainted with the concept of "purposeful and knowing conduct" as it pertains to the definition of robbery thought process would be "impaired." "The user has delusions of grandiosity, that he can do anything and no harm can come to him," Teich said of cocaine The psychiatrist was on and off the witness stand throughout Friday's trial proceedings before Superior Court Judge Steven Z.

Steven Teich, a New York psychiatrist, told the court Doyle-was a drug addict hooked on heroin and cocaine when he and an Kleiner initially ruled that Teich could not testify as an expert witness after Stomel and Assistant Cumberland County Prosecutor Murray Talasnik questioned the psychiatrist on his qualifications and experience. Teich told the court he is a private-practice psychiatrist who has served as director of mental health at a Manhattan, N.Y. prison and as a psychiatrist in the military. He also said he has testified in accomplice robbed the Orange Savings and Loan on East Landis Avenue of $34,000 Jan. 27.

"At the time of this crime Mr. Doyle was primarily Intoxicated with cocaine," Dr. Teich told defense lawyer Terry B. Stomel. "Cocaine would have inhibited his ability to make judgements to appreciate what he was doing and the consequences of it, particularly the wrongfulness." The witness said Doyle's 3 1 Receiver Claims Potential Buyers Vying for Ch.

65 4 fat 4 By DAVID ENSCOE Staff Writer The court-appointed receiver for Vineland's bankrupt Channel 65 says he is close to selling the station to one of two potential buyers. But first, a Superior Court judge will have to decide whether the buyer must honor a contract with a pay TV company which is leasing the station. "I've got two live prospects," said attorney Richard Milstead, who has been running the station since Renaissance Broadcasting Corp. folded nearly a year ago.

Nearly 300,000 people Joined the Jobless rolls last month, swelling the unemployment total to 11.6 million. Overall, the department report- ed, seasonally adjusted unemployment rose 0.3 percentage point, Unemployment drops in New Jersey. See page 2. from September's 10.1 percent to 10.4.

Since the economy fell into recession in the late summer of 1981, some 3.7 million people have lost their jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of some 60,000 households showed that hardly a segment of the population escaped the deteriorating employment picture. Blue-collar workers, hard-hit by business failures, plant closings and slumping sales, registered a 15.9 percent unemployment rate, up 0.3 percentage point from Sep-tember and the highest since such figures were first compiled in 1948. Joblessness among full-time workers spurted from 10.1 percent to 10.5 while the rate for part-time workers stood at 10.1, down from 10.5 percent "We have never had the rate for full-time workers exceed that for part-time workers," noted bureau analyst Deborah Klein.

TO REMOVE INFLUENCE FROM REST OF COUNTY Vineland Delays Vote on Landfill Site By MARGIE MALANDRO Staff Writer Vineland City Council, acting on the advice of its liaison with the County Improvement Authoity, will delay its vote on Site 11, the third site submitted for municipal approval by the authority.

"This city has led the county in choosing a site," said Bill Mc-Dade, member of the Landis Sewerage Authority who serves as council's liaison with the panel. McDade asked the council to delay its vote in order to allow other municipalities to decide on the site without being influenced by Vineland. The Improvement Authority has asked 13 municipalities to cast votes on Site 11, a remote wooded section in Maurice River Township. The 200-acre tract of woodland is located about a half-mile east of Route 55 and is just south of the Millville city line off Schooner's Landing Road. Residents of the area maintain it is an extremely "sensitive" location where wildlife and endangered species breed.

The Improvement Authority, under mandate by the J. Department of Environmental Protection, must gain approval on a site from municipalities representing at least 75 percent of the county's population. Nearly half of the county's population lives in Vineland. Despite the delay by Vineland, Site 11 appears doomed as Millville, Commercial Township and Maurice River Township have Indicated opposition to the site and the combined population of the three municipalities exceeds the 25 percent needed to kill the proposal. Last June, Vineland voted its support of Site 8, the first site selected by the Improvement Authority, which is located in the Car-mel Road-Sherman Avenue area of Millville, near Union Lake.

That site was voted down county-wide with Bridgeton's opposition proving decisive. Millville and Maurice River Township also passed resolutions opposing Site 8. In September, Vineland. council voted against Site 3 in Fairfield Township after many Fairfield residents showed up at that council meeting and helped convice council to oppose the site. make a decision within 10 days." Before selling the station, Milstead hopes to get out of a 10-year lease agreement Renaissace signed with Wometco Home Theater, a subscription TV service.

Under terms of the lease, WHT pays a monthly fee of $60,000 or seven percent of the station's gross revenues, whichever is highest. WHT broadcasts movies and specials to its customers over Channel 65 during evening hours. Milstead's attorney, Bennet Bardfeld, was in Cumberland County Superior Court Friday arguing that the contract with WHT is executory, and should not be carried over to the receiver or a buyer. "This contract has been a real problem in trying to sell the station," Bardfeld said. "Buyers find out about it and they don't want to bid.

We want to sell this thing and get rid of it." Millville attorney Marvin Wod-linger, who is representing WHT, has a different view of the situation. "We feel it would be inequitable," he said. "In our opinion, the contract is not executory, and the receiver must keep it." When asked if WHT had offered to buy the station, Wodlinger said there was "no current offer." Bardfeld, however, said WHT has submitted a bid, but that it is lower than several others. Superior Court Judge Edward S. Miller is expected to render a decision on Milstead's motion Monday.

But even if he rules the receiver does not have to honor the contract the agreement will remain active until Milstead formally applies in court to have the contract voided. Milstead said the station, which is located on N. Delsea Drive, has (Continued on Page 10, Col. 3) Rent a Rest Room? The Price is Right Want to rent a rest room In the heart of town?
