Daring Daylight Robbery
at Local Dyer Store!
For the sixth straight year (plus two crooked ones), the notorious,
nefarious, and niggling Dyer Dealers attacked all of their suppliers of
name-brand stereo equipment demanding lower prices and better deals
so the savings could be passed on to their customers during an outlandish
"Daring Daylight Robbery" sale. Led by San Antonio’s own Jerry ("The
Man") Dyer, the gang went to great lengths to avoid taking any
merchandise of questionable quality. One supplier who claims to have
been hit in this same manner by this same gang for all six years tried
valiantly to hide his better stereo equipment. "It was the weirdest thing
I’d ever seen", the supplier said describing the caper. "That bunch had
eleven trained goats that sniffed out all my good stuff just like them
Army dogs do", he continued. Local authorities who were called in to
investigate (plus some who were not) speculate that the Dyer Dealers
have split the loot among their five local hideouts and are planning to
disburse it this weekend among local residents at tremendous savings.
This assessment seems to be another example of top detective work since
the Dealers have done the exact same thing for years and are spending
thousands of dollars advertising the fact. Below are some recent photos
of known gang members and a partial list of the loot taken.

Speakers of
the House
Held by Dyer
One of the most
diabolical aspects of the
recent Robbery by the
Dyer Gang was their
ruthless abduction of
three prominent House
Speakers. At last report,
all three were being held
for an embarrasingly low
ransom.
One is the SS-8 Sound
Source two-way which
requires very little power
to produce rich sound. All
five Dyer hideouts will
release these Speakers for
only $49 apiece which is
nowhere near their actual
value.
A Speaker that is highly
regarded by its colleagues
is the Genesis 110. They
are being ransomed for
only $199 apiece. The 110
is guaranteed for life
which is the same punish
ment awaiting any Dyer
Dealer caught selling at
list price.
The third known
Speaker being held is the
Infinity RSa. This
Speaker can be readily
identified by its exclusive
EMIT tweeter and poly
propylene woofer cone
and superb overall sound
reproduction. When
accused of distorting the
facts concerning the
abduction, Jerry Dyer
snarled "that them RSa’s
don’t distort nothin’!".
Only $149 will take an
RSa out of Dyer’s hands.
Inside sources report
that only name-brand
Speakers can be found in a
Dyer hideout. When asked
why he stole only name
brand speakers, Dyer
stated that, in his opinion,
"taking name-brand
speakers ain’t stealin;
SELLING house-brand or
private label speakers is
stealin’!.

Thrift institutions,
commercial banks
urged to compete
United Press International
WASH INGTON — Treasury
Secretary Donald Regan urged
Congress Thursday to allow
banks to compete with money
market mutual funds, which he
helped to create.
In testimony before a Senate
subcommittee Regan said the
competition between commer
cial banks and the Wall Street
funds has helped consumers in
the short run, but also has
weakened the nation’s banking
system.
“Many consumers have
placed their savings in money
market funds instead of deposit
accounts,” he said, “more to
avoid the restrictions on interest
rates and services of depository
institutions than to benefit from
the different products and ser
vices of money market funds
and securities firms.”
Regan, formerly the head of
the Merrill Lynch brokerage
firm, helped lead Wall Street to
wider assortment of
services, particularly the

United Press International
AUST IN — Two attorneys
acquitted of Brilab charges have
filed a more than $1 million law
suit against Prudential Insur
ance Co. for allowing undercov
er FBI agents to represent them
selves as company agents.
Attorneys Donald Ray and
Randall Buck Wood, acquitted
in the case along with House
Speaker Bill Clayton, filed suit
Wednesday in state district
court.
The lawsuit does not mention
a specific dollar amount of dam
ages, but Ray said they sought
damages in seven figures for
their more than $ 100,000 in leg
al fees, mental anguish and loss
of income.
“We filed suit to recover the
damages we suffered having to
defend against those scurrilous
charges brought against us as a
result of this investigation,” Ray
said.
“As I understand it, Pruden
tial had authorized Joseph
Hauser and those two FBI
agents to sort of act as their rep
resentatives in the investigation,
and we relied on the fact they
told us they were Prudential
agents. We were led to believe
we were dealing with Prudential
when obviously we were not.”
Hauser, a convicted swindler
who was the key figure in the
case against Clayton, Wood and
Ray, represented himself as a
Prudential representative and
said the firm was seeking to land
a lucrative state insurance con
tract.

Cuban refugees
moved from base
United Press International
FORT CHAFFEE, Ark. —
The last 22 of 25,000 Cuban re
fugees who passed through the
Fort Chaffee relocation center
were loaded onto a bus before
dawn Thursday and left Arkan
sas, destined for a federal prison
in Chicago.
“They’re all gone,” said Mac
Coffman, camp director for the
Cuban-Haitian Task F’orce.
The last band of Cubans were
to travel by bus to Tulsa, Okla.,
then fly by commercial airliner
to Chicago, Coffman said. Ear
lier plans to transfer the last re
fugees to a halfway house in
Seattle, Wash., fell through.
Coffman said he hoped the
Cubans would be in Chicago
only about 15 days before they
could travel on to Seattle
anyway.
In the 22 months Cuban re
fugees were lodged in Arkansas,
they played a role in the election
of a governor, in the economy of
a community and in the public’s
opinion on America’s immigra
tion policy in general.
The “Freedom Flotilla” that
brought an estimated 125,000
Cubans to the United States be
ginning in May 1980 sent many
of the refugees through the
Army base near Fort Smith. At
one time, as many as 19,000 re
fugees were housed at the pro
cessing and resettlement center.
The commitment fromt|
Reagan administration totratj
fer the Cubans elsewhere
delayed on several occasit®
until Jan. 24 when twob
of the remaining 392 refi
left for federal prisons in Gtf
gia, Missouri and Kentucky
Army officials said the pi)
ment of the Cubans at f»
Chaffee had not affected t!<
operation of the military fad
except for displacing sof
Army reserve and Natitf
Guard units who were forced
stay in tents during sum!*
camps in 1980.
Col. Ray Spence, Fort
fee commander, said rep4
and renovation of the fad
have been under way for
past 13 months and should
completed within 180 days.T ;
estimated cost of bringinf
Army base back to its com
before the refugees arrived
$7.9 million, he said.
Most of the costs of rent) 1
ing the facility resulted
damage to barracks where 1
Cubans w r ere housed, Sp'
said.
Chain-link fences and
wire installed after the |
1980 riot belong to the Few'
Bureau of Prisons and will'
removed, Spence said.
