(AP) — Ronnie Gant doesn't write songs, sing them or play in recording sessions. But he's responsible for the smash hit, Elvira, which sold more than two million copies for the Oak Ridge Boys two years ago. All Gant did was suggest that the flashy quartet rec- ord the snappy song after he heard it played by a house band in a Texas nightclub. Producer Ron Chancey took Gant’s advice, and the song became one of the most successful in history, “cross- ing-over” from the country music field to the pop charts, For Gant, one of 15 “song pluggers” in Nashville, it was | all in a day's work, even if it” didn’t earn him anything. Gant works for Acuff-Rose, Nashvillo's oldest song publi- sher, founded in 1942. It’s his job to take songs written by Acuff-Rose composers and get them recorded. “It’s not like selling a vac- uum cleaner,” he says. “You can't sit a song down and show them how it works. They (producers) have got to invest and then see how their investment works.” URGED RECORDING Best known for its low part “oom pawpa mou mou,” the song won a Grammy Award and other laurels for the Oak COSLING; OFF...

(AP) — A Canadian business- man, whose conviction for il- legal land-sales practices has turned into a diplomatic dis- pute, compared Florida At- torney General Jim Smith's latest call for restitution to property buyers to “a ransom demand for my release from kidnappers.” “We collected money on a development, but we spent the money on the develop- ment,” Sidney Jaffe said Tuesday. “The party. who collected millions of dollars is Nortek,” he said, referring to a Rhode Island-based con- glomerate from which he said his company bought the land. “The ones that got $2 million then foreclosed. If he's talk- ing about who got the money, he’s talking about the wrong Person.” Nortek spokesman David Edgerly said the company had no comment of Jaffe ex- _ cept: “We were the second mortgagee. We sold the sec- ond mortgage, at a discount, while in foreclosure.” Jaffe's comments came af- ter Smith said he would agree to an early parole date only if Jaffe repaid property buyers. Last week, U.S. State Sec- retary George Shultz and U.S. Attorney General Wil- liam French Smith asked Florida to release Jaffe. He now is scheduled for parole in 1988, but the case is before a state appeals court. “We have concluded we must honor the oath of office we have taken to uphold the laws of Florida,” Smith said during a news conference Tuesday. Schultz told the state Par- ole and Probation Commis- sion in a letter that the ab- duction of Jaffe in Toronto by bounty hunters in Septem- ber, 1981, and his return to Florida for trial had damaged U.S.-Canada relations. Jaffe, 58, was sentenced in February, 1982, to 85 years in prison for illegal land-sales practices and bail-jumping. Smith criticized the U.S. officials for trying to in- tervene in the state case. But he said he had modified his position to the point that he could accept an early parold date — if Jaffe repaid prop- erty buyers. Jaffe was convicted of 28 counts of violating the Land Sales Act by issuing quit- claim deeds instead of war- ranty deeds, certifying clear title as promised to the buyers. At his trial, Jaffe maintained the quit-claim deeds were temporary ue The officials didn't say how much they wanted Jaffe to repay. Boyles said Jaffe al- ready has repaid $90,000 to about 24 land purchasers. The state parold board had set a May 24 parole date for Jaffe, five years before his expected release time. But the state's First District Court of Appeal ruled the early release improper : on procedural grounds after Smith filed documents ob- jecting to the May release. The parole board asked for a rehearing and the case is pending before the Talla- hassee court. The Canadian government, has petitioned U.S. District Court in Jacksonville for Jaf- fe’s return to Canada. The country’s sovereignty was violated when Jaffe, a nat- uralized Canadian citizen, was abducted before Florida applied for legal extradition, Canada But Smith moved Monday to dismiss the petition, say- ing in part that Canada's claim should be decided by the executive, not the judicial BU!
