Run Chlcagoland 1 st. Run Chlcagoland 1st. Run Chlcagoland Tower Ticker By Aaron Gold Uf i. i. m.u I nji'miLi I I 'i "fife sii-rf i mmm 1 taipiiHsj 'COLD MINING: If everything goes according to plans of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans, we'll see Vice President George Bush and possibly Joe Dt Maggio marching down Dearborn Street at the head of the Oct.

12 Columbus Day Parade. About $1.25 million is being pent to renovate the old Marshall Field II souse at 1919 S. Prairie Av. (a beautiful Victorian), and convert It into a restaurant due to open next summer. FOR A REASON that escapes me, Tom Sayder's NBC-TV show will retain the title Of "Tomorrow Coast-To-Coast," even though Rona Barrett no longer supplies West Coast Interviews and tidbits.

Reports that Sophia Loren and Carlo Bontt are splitting, or already have, must not be too accurate. They just bought a home in California, where Loren has wanted to live for some time. Shelley Winters enjoys the natural look, and I am talking about her weight. She refuses to allow photographers into rehearsals of "The Gingerbread Lady" at Drury Lane Water Tower, because she doesn't want to "take two hours to get made up just for a rehearsal." Maybe that's why you don't see her around town much either. 'THE FOUR TEAMS involved In the new sports Channel 60 (White Sox, Bulls, filackhawks, and the Sting) are in hot and heavy negotiations with two firms for the rights to handle the subscriptions for the subscription sports package.

Both ON-TV and Buford Industries are vying for the plum. If ON-TV gets it, sports channel subscribers will be able to get the evening Channel 44 subscription movie programs on the same decoder. Buford Industries (50 per cent owned by Texas millionaire Clint Murchison) has been licensed to operate Channel 66, opening soon here as a subscription TV station. Channel 66 plans to offer pay-TV movies (like 44) and wants to tie in the lucrative Channel 60 sports for its package. ALDERMAN DAVID ORR of the 49th Ward Was a hero earlier this week.

He accosted a young man who had thrown a firecracker into a woman's face near the Jarvis Street elevated station and held him until the police arrived. Popular behind-the-scenes Chicago show business figure Ned E. Williams died Thursday. i The folks at McCormick Place not only: spent some $60,000 on drapery to improve the sound inside the Arie Crown Theater, but also spent a bundle on new carpeting in the theater lobby. And in the fall, the lobby walls will be redone with a new paint job and mirrors.

Tribune photographer Ovie Carter will autograph prints of one of his touching photographs at Sunday's fundraiser for the Black Woman Collaborative, 16 E. Pearson THE FREE "MOVIES IN the Park" program is such a hit that Mayor Byrne already has asked that it become a regular attraction next year with five parks showing free films on Saturday nights. "The Best of Busby Berkeley," a program compiled in 1968 by the Film Festival's Michael Kutza, will be shown Saturday In Lincoln Park, with Diana Ross' "The Wiz" the next Saturday in Jackson Park, Judy Moen, the "P.M. Magazine" co-host from Charleston, S.C., will host Channel 2's new "Daybreak" early Shelley Winters morning show. It'll begin in the fall, replacing "It's Worth Knowing." JAMES BOND has nothing on LPS Chemical Products, a Georgia firm that will demonstrate a waterproofed underwater car Friday at Montrose Avenue Beach.

Actually, it's just a Ford Escort but the waterproofing company has made some modifications so the car is sure to sink (like filling the tires with water and removing doors), and has extended the air intake and exhaust systems, periscope style, so the engine will function underwater. Jaclyn Smith' is a woman of her word. She said she'd marry British cameraman Tony Richmond as soon as her divorce from Dennis Cole was final. Well, it is, and she did Tuesday. Festivals, Joe Pecor arranged for the Association to sing the National Anthem at Friday's Cubs-White Sox game at Comiskey Park, and for Crystal Gayle to do the same for the second charity match Saturday at Wrig-ley Field.

THE MECHANICAL BULL already Is passe. Country singers Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley have installed a mechanical armadillo in their Moe and Joe's club in Houston. And their club in Shreveport, will feature a mechanical alligator. But the owners of Erik's, 3300 W. 11th 1 decided on something more visual to attract customers a dunk tank.

Women in bikinis drop into the tank when you hit the mark with a baseball. And there'll be men to dunk for the women who want to try their hand at it, too. Lauren Tewes and her husband, John Wassel, are divorcing, but there's talk that her "Love Boat" character might get married next season. TICKER BITS: Welcome home to funnymen O'Brien Severs, who will headline the comedy stage Sunday at ChicagoFest. They have been making their mark in Los Angeles and Las Vegas since leaving town.

Pianist Bruce Miles celebrates his 13th anniversary at That Steak Joynt Aug. 13 with a party hosted by owner Bill Siegel. Happy birthday to Bob Thomas, Alan Page, Channel 7's Al Lerner, Lana Cantrell, Joel Goldblatt, QlOl's Lorna Ozmon. and Stan Freberg. PBS will tape Studs Terkel's "Working" with Barry Bostwick replacing the late Harry Chapin in one of the lead roles.

Budweiser's eight Clydesdale horses will be an added attraction Monday at Brookfield Zoo. Fran Lebowltx offers this astute observation in "Social Studies," recently published by Random House: "Polite conversation is rarely either." Aaron Gold reports on People in the News Friday on Channel 9's 9 p.m. news and on "Night Beat" after the late movie. lv7 WW1 n'1 fr A a v. V.
