Celtics Sale Cleared Partially By Bankruptcy Referee
Atlantic Division champions the Boston Celtics sale was partly cleared by a federal bankruptcy referee. Trans National Communications, owner for three years, filed under the Federal Bankruptcy Act and cannot pay $2.6 million in unpaid notes to Ballantine. The proposed sale to Harold Lipton and Irving H Levin for $3.7 million would settle debt and leave about $1.1 million for Trans National creditors. If approved by the NBA Board, Levin would join ownership of the Celtics with the San Diego Chargers and San Diego Gulls.
