I YYiin inia I Hl 1 I A I KICK A 1 KMl Mr 1 By VLNCE LEONARD, Press TV-Radio Editor Odds are 50-50 that the new Las Vegas Show, beamed by the equally new United Network, may make it onto Pittsburgh screens by Monday's starting date. WECO-TV? Forget that for awhile. The UHF Channel 53 has had troubles from ground borings up.

Besides, D. H. Over- WINTHROP VOJ WANT I ANY HEDGED. 7 LUOCy 7 myer has sold that station and four i others to the American Viscose Corp. Channel 11 is negotiating for the show, and if it lands it, would telecast the program 1 to 3 a.

m. Monday through Friday. Probably one edition of the Joe Pyne Show would be lost the Friday night entry, with Sunday's remaining intact. 1 WIIC, paving the way for the Las Vegas Show, would be loath to give it up to another station and Yon Dyke At JFK? DICK VAN DYKE is in the running to play John F. Kennedy in (he screen version of Pierre Salinger's book, "With Kennedy." But Van Dyke has misgivings.

"It's a role you can't win with," he said. "People who didn't like JFK won't like it, and people who did like him will think the picture and the actor playing the part haven't done him justice." Then why does he want the part? "I don't know," he answered typically, "but I do." DOING THE DIAL BIT: The most provocative thing Joe Pyne managed with Godfrey Cambridge was that the comedian's putting on weight "Key Largo," headed by Humphrey Bogart, boasted some "Candid Camera," though creaking with old age, still scores when it features children. A youngster spilling a bowl of soup accidentally was twice as funny as an adult comedian doing it on purpose Former Dodger pitcher Joe Black slated flatly that Jim Pagliaroni should have recorded putouts on the two throws by Roberto Clemente in the Pirate game. Thousands of viewers must have agreed Regular announcers came back to NBA games, but there was no great improvement, really. The game, as usual was tops Jackie Gleason was great as a sap hooked by a fortune teller Marie Torre had an interesting chat with Eugene Phillips of the Pittsburgh Symphony on "Expression" French accents by Bernard Geoffron and Maurice Richard were something else on the NHL telecasts.

SHORT SHOTS: Pat Ward, the girl involved in the Mickey Jelke scandal 14 years ago, visits David Susskind May 14 on Channel 13 The Beatles may tape a segment.for "The Best on Record" for NBC May 24. Grammy winners Eydie Gorme, Ella Fitzgerald and jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery take part Melina Mercouri. of Broadway's "Illya Darling," joins Ed Sullivan's lineup Sunday at 8 and will sing and dance Right after that the Sinatra youngsters, Nancy and Frank check in with the Smothers Brothers inners in the second annual International Awards Program sponsored by the International Assn. of Fire Fighters included Channel 4 cameraman Les Banos WEDO Radio starts a month-long series of daily discussions, starting May 1. The show, called "New Horizons," will start at 5:35 p.

m. daily CBS reportedly is talking with Jackie Gleason to host a late-night talk series, in addition to his own Saturday program Somebody ought to do a 60 or 90-minute special on the superb Folklorico de Mexico. It's already a Sol Hurok project and could be a Sol Hurok TV project. therefore may contract for an ade- KEELY quate length of time. Assuming everything falls into place, by Monday you can see Bill Dana hosting the 90-minute series with Milton Berle opening night headliner, replacing Don Adams who bowed out because of another commitment.

Other guests on the first telecast include Marty Allen and Steve Rossi, Billy Daniels, Abbe Lane, Sarah Vaughan and Chad and Jeremy, Guests on subsequent nights the first week include Keely Smith, Brook Benton, Tony Martin, Delia Reese and Tommy Leonetti. Merr Moves AVouncf DESPITE THE' RISING TIDE of all these late-night talk- variety shows, Merv Griffin keeps rolling along in his current syndication pattern. The Griffin Show was originally conceived two years ago by Group VV to counter the successful "Tonight" show but as stations fitted the format to their schedules, they found Mervin more suitable for other periods. The show now is id nearly 90 markets in the U. Canada and Puerto Rico, telecast mainly in late-afternoon periods, such as in Pittsburgh (4:30 p.

m. on Channel 2), Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. Nevertheless, it is now considered generally as a program designed for run-of-sehedule and is a late-night entry and competitive with the network variety series in New York, Dallas and perhaps 10 other smaller markets. One Los Angeles station runs it at 8:30 p. m.

prime time, no less and Detroit and Miami play it at 9 in the morning. More than 500 programs are in the can and the show soon will go color. When Westinghouse took a chance on Merv, apparently it was sure.

Brass that was mellow, strings that put one in mind not of Elvis Presley but of the classical guitar.

Best of all, here was a variety show that took the heart instantly with its simplicity, beauty and sheer imaginative power. For this lovely and highly danceab'e hour credit Herb Alpert and his marvelously uninhibited producer, Dwight Hemion. I never thought to see an orchestra playing in the Pacific surf at sunset as the tide rolled in. But there it was. And I never expected to enjoy a show, as completely and blissfully as I enjoyed this one.

Someday this column is goinng to publish a list: Popular hour delusions on the part of TV networks paranteed to eliminate further the already dwindling audience. Were the same shows to be dropped into the noisome swamps of a week night schedule the ratings might astonish the networks. Not everybody likes science fiction and cowboys. BY HARRIET VAN HORNE Scripps-Howard Staff Writer It could be that I'm out of touch with the "big beat," "the new sound," the savage rhythms of the long haired generation. I had expected that last night's CBS variety special, starring Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, would be raucous, ugly, vulgar and infinitely sad, as the savage rhythms of the younger generation-lacking in melody and grace invariably are.
