'Phil's very upset about it'
'Donahue' show vie
By Associated Press
NEW YORK ? Stung by its first hoax in 17 years on the
air, the "Donahue" show is "very concerned" about the incident
in which seven people faked fainting spells during a live
broadcast last month, forcing the evacuation of the studio audience,
a spokeswoman said.
"We're looking into the incident," Penny Rotheiser,
spokeswoman for Phil Donahue's syndicated talk show, said
Saturday.
"Phil's very upset about it," Rotheiser said. "It's a terrible
thing to do to a show and to the audience at a show."
It was revealed on Friday the fainting by seven members of
the "Donahue" audience Jan. 21 was really a hoax orchestrated
by trickster Alan Abel. He and actress Deborah
Harmon, who had fallen at Donahue's feet while asking a
question, admitted the stunt.

Deaf 'embezzler' to appeal
CHARLOTTE ? A deaf man who says he took
undelivered postal samples of sanitary napkins to help poor,
hearing-impaired women plans to appeal an embezzlement
conviction and try to win back his post office job.
"I'm not going to give up," said James Dollard. "I'm going
to keep on fighting until we win."
Dollard, communicating by sign language and through interpreters,
told jurors Friday he took 86 packages of sanitary
napkins from the downtown post office.

Abel said he was head of FAINT, or Fight Against Idiotic
Neurotic TV, and the incident was meant as a statement in
support of live TV and in protest of poor-quality TV. He said
he wanted to "raise the consciousness of the public by going fy.
unconscious."
Abel has pulled other stunts on the media since 1959. He
was shown on WCBS-TV in a phony editorial response seg
ment and once fabricated his own obituary in The New York
Times.
Very few national programs are "live." Some news programs,
NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and "Donahue" are
among the only shows that home viewers and studio audiences
can see simultaneously. Shows such as "Late Night With
David Letterman" and "Tonight," are "Live on Tape,"
meaning they arc taped before an audience and shown later.
Organized stunts or inappropriate language can be edited out
before the broadcast.

contracts to complete an operations plan demanded by its
creditors, a company spokesman says.
The carrier, in negotiations last week, failed to reach final
agreements with three unions representing 20,000 of its 37,000
workers.
Eastern on Friday asked its 60 lenders, headed by Ohase
Manhattan Bank, to extend a deadline for submitting a profitable
operating plan for 1985 by two months, giving the
airline time to reach agreement with the unions. ^
Time vows to check facts better
NEW YORK ? Time magazine's editor-in-chief has vowed
that facts will be checked "with even greater care" after the
news weekly won a $50 million libel suit filed by Ariel Sharon,
israel's former defense minister.
"We must and will continue to make every effort to avoid
errors," Henry Grunwald said in an internal memo to editors,
writers, reporters and researchers.
Grundwald said the magazine's methods of ensuring aci
curacy are valid.'
