00 ROUNDUP ran MB By VAL ADAMS Some of the words of wisdom on "Ben Franklin Speaks to America," a bicentennial feature on the CBS network, are rather Surprising. Howard Da Silva, who portrays Franklin, quoted from Poor Richard's Almanack: "Which is better to love old women or young women? Poor Richard says old women because they are so grateful." On the other hand, Da Silva added, "Poor Richard likes three kinds of women old women, young women and middle-aged women." nMJUVJU I If III! A I 1 to That's daring commentary for a series sponsored Dy tne Mnu-nental Insurance Companies. But maybe Continental is more broad minded than a TV advertiser that withdrew sponsorship a few years ago of a show on Benjamin Franklin after it learned about Franklin private life.

thrives on financial crisis, it suddenly thriving bigger than ever. For much of the time since the listener-supported FM station was donated to the Pacifica Foundation 16 years ago by the late Louis Schweitzer, it has operated strictly from hunger, just barely surviving one financial crisis after another. Last week WBAI said it believed it had again staved off disaster. "We will survive," said an optimistic Larry Josephson, general manager. "We have to raise more monev and spend less.

It's just like New York City." WBAI, which has a staff of 1 27 paid employes plus 50 volun i ly T' Si MtJ -rt Jll BZANTINE ARCHES XY UAff ij i teers, needs $56,000 a month to continue in its present form, Josephson said.

"We've never before had that kind of response in just four days." Scooping up the cash inflow, Josephson immediately got the phone company off his back by paying $4,000 on an overdue bill. He also handed $1,100 to another creditor that was demanding its money.

"I think we'll make it," said Josephson. Reginald Laite was named news manager of WNWS-FM, an all-news station still searching for an audience.

Jerry Nachman of WCBS, a source of mutual confusion with Gerald Nachman of The News, once won $3,000 as a TV contestant on "Jeopardy." That was in 1970 when Jerry quit a job as night editor of the Pittsburgh Press and came here to visit his mother before moving to a newspaper job in Australia. After winning the $3,000, Jerry forgot about the land down under. "I felt like Stewart Mott," he said, referring to the philanthropist and heir of a General Motors fortune. Nachman, who will be 30 on Tuesday, was born in Brooklyn and moved with his family to Pittsburgh when he was 10. He graduated from Youngstown University in Youngstown, Ohio, and went on to work for an Ohio weekly and then a daily.

Jerry, who is single, joined WCBS as a writer in 1971 and was promoted to reporter two years ago. He lives in a brownstone in Brooklyn but is about to add a house in New Milford, Conn.
