S. oo New York ACTOR VINCENT PRICE and Jockey Bill Pearson staged another; down-to-the-wire art duel last night and wound up splitting a $64,000 jackpot. Pearson, from Pasadena, previously won $64,000 with his knowledge of art and was challenged for the art-quiz championship by Price on NBC's "The $54,000 Challenge." The two tied last week for the title and returned tonight for a playoff, round. Under rules of the show, another tie meant equally dividing the money. Tonight a peacock will appear on "Studio One." Next Monday, on the Robert Montgomery show, a 1000' pound elephant will appear a comedy, "An Elephant for Pea nuts." It's about a boy who wants to own an elephant more than anything else in the world.

The pachyderm Is described as a baby elephant named Lady. 'The Garry Moore Show," will begin its seventh year June 26. That day Garry will show film clips of the very first program. Hollywood snaBmeMMasssBoBMe I WAS as TV star Alfred Hitch cock rather than as movie di rector Alfred Hitchcock that the fans mobbed Hitch for autographs at the Hollywood opening of "The Man Who Knew Too Much," which he directed for Paramount. A sneak peek at the films reveals that couple who won $100 a week for 10 years on "Do You Trust, Your Wife?" will win 14 times in a row before they're through.

Orson Welles and Producer Jerry Wald in the Hollywood Brown Derby weren't talking deals, they were talking diets. The Rev. Bob Richards, champion pole vaulter, promised the AAU he would'nt accept payment, so "Calvalpade Theater" has the go-ahead sign to film Richards' life story.

C. They guessed correctly that this was Marty's exit from home. A knock at the door brought a sleepy-eyed Marty, yawning and wondering what has happening. Then he spotted Marty, Jr. "Where have you been?" asked Marty, Sr.

"Hot," answered Marty, scampering through the door, headed back to his bedroom. COLOR TV tonight! GORDON dnS RAG snow It Ww Kovacs Thrives On Little Sleep NEW YORK, June 17 (AP). IX mornings a week a New York taxi driver named Lou Pack parks his cab on Central Park West at 5:10 A. M. and ascends to a 17-room duplex apartment where a tall, mustached man shaving in one of the numerous bathrooms.

Pack unlocks the apartment door with his own key and goes to the kitchen, where he begins frying bacon and eggs for two. After' a while the mustached man comes and they decide who is going make the coSee this morning. Then they eat silently while they read the newspapers. Descending by elevator, Pack behind the wheel of his cab the mustached man climbs hi back and they drive to a studio of local ABC radio network sta tion. So long, Lou, the man says.

"See you tomorrow." "So long, Ernie," says Lou Pack, Ernie Kovacs enters the studio begin his three-hour daily stint a disc jockey. When he emerges at 9 A. M. he finds a chauffeured car awaiting him. (The car is his, and he pays chauffeur).

They dash across town to the NBC studios. In the next 75 minutes (give or take one or two) there follows the complete and only rehearsal for what many believe is the funniest, zaniest half- hour daytime show in television. The "Ernie Kovacs Show" (10:30 EDT, Monday through Fri day)- is aided and abetted by his blonde and beautiful wife, Edie Adams, and a group of entertain who act like friends of the Kovacs who merely dropped in for frolic. MONG other things the Ernie Kovacs show is a strenuous physical ordeal. Sometimes it's like and the strippers absent.

It substitutes robustness for subtle In its occasional custard pie scenes the pies are real, hurled with gusto and the studio is a spattered mess afterwards. After the show, Kovacs attends lengthy production meeting. Next goes and sits in a steam bath the New York Athletic Club an hour. Business appoint ments and other details follow. Finally he arrives home for dinner with Edie and his two young daughters by a previous marriage.

But the Kovacs day has only begun. He now retires to his study, where he writes at his show until 2 or 3 A. M. He habitually sleeps one or two hours a night and says he's even been satisfied with 25 minutes. If you're still with us, the news this is that to this incredibly heavy schedule the man Kovacs has now added the chore of serving as summer substitute for the Sid Caesar show.

I don't know what we're going to do or how we're going to do it," he said the other day. "But I do know that we're going to have some rehearsals for that hour be fore it begins when does it begin?" "June 18 at 8 P. a man said. Kovacs looked at his watch. DESPITE his mustache and a perpetual cigar thrust between his teeth, Kovacs doesn't look at all like the younger and more robust Groucho Marx that he is.

He was born about 35 years ago In Trenton, N. J. He played hookey from school a lot and played roles in summer stock of characters without much character and final ly went to work in a drugstore. One thing led to another, and he finally became so sick that he was laughingly referred to as "old death's door." As one doctor said to him, "Kovacs, skip whining and die like a man." But he miracu wusiy recovered ana wrote a newspaper column and; trapped muskrat and fooled around in radio. And at last he came to New York and what with one thing and another he's pretty famous now.

Analytical critics have not yet worked out on Kovacs to any great extent but doubtless they soon will begin. Perhaps he's a frus trated writer who refuses to live with his frustration and so stays up most of the night writing. But in a curious way a lot of his nonsense makes a lot of sense Take the case of his retaining Lou Pack, the taxi driver. Kovacs doesn't like to eat breakfast alone and he wants to make sure he gets to the studio in time. Yet he loves Edie, a singer with a career of her own, and he wants her to get her beauty sleep.

Kri tt'hw Tint. riirA a fripnrllxr rah driver to help the cause until the chauffeur arrives on the scene? It's an original idea. Probably nobody ever thought of it before It merely like so many things about Kovacs sounds a trifle improbable.
