WINSLOW STAFF, WRITER was looking for an unemployed, middle-aged, blue-collar worker with strong ethnic ties who was enrolled in classes to learn a new profession, where did the network television brass turn? Why to Cleveland, of course.
It took three weeks and more than 50 interviews, but WKYC Channel 3, the NBC affiliate here, finally found the perfect candidate. He is Eugene W. Franco, 44, of Eastlake, who will be the featured guest on the first installment of an upcoming NBC News series called "The American Promise." Franco will make his television debut Aug. 27 at 10 p.m. as he tells NBC anchor John Chancellor and a panel of.
experts exactly where the American dream went askew in his In the two years since he has been unemployed, Franco's take-home pay has dropped from $2,700 to $586 a month on unemployment benefits. He said that was not enough for a family of five, and he had enrolled in electronics training classes at the Hickock Institute on the near West Side. "The American dream for people who have lost jobs, including several thousand blue collar workers, doesn't have a chance," Franco, the son of Italian immigrants, said yesterday. "We have to go on welfare and don't want to." Without a script, Franco taped the hourlong program from his back yard on Aug. 4, when a Channel 3 camera crew linked him up with Chancellor via satellite.
After being interviewed, the Eastlake resident got the chance to discuss the job market simultaneously with a migrant worker from California, a successful female business executive from Chicago, and a Washington, D.C., single mother on welfare. 'A panel discussion follows with some of the nation's leading thinkers, including Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the author of "Song of Solomon" and "Tarbaby," Toni Morrison; Ernest Boyer, former U.S. commissioner of education; and Hispanic activist Beatrice Cortez. "People are screaming and nobody is hearing us," Franco said yesterday.
The first time she spun the wheel, JOAN ALTSHULER Eugene W. Franco Pamela R. Lydle wound up with "lose a turn." But if you saw "Wheel of Fortune" yesterday, you know that the Akron resident also won a cruise to Tahiti, a trip to Japan, and $2,500 in Cartier's jewelry. Not bad for a half hour's work on the popular television game show. Lydle, 40, who will appear again this morning at 11 a.m.
on WKYC Channel 3, snagged almost $14,000 in prizes for unscrambling the mystery puzzle, "between the devil and the deep blue sea." "It was a fantasy come true I enjoy words and game shows," said Lydle, adding that her life's ambition had been to own a business and appear on "Wheel." In May, Lydle sent a post card to WEWS Channel 5 along with 65,000 other potential contestants from Greater Cleveland. She was one of 30 Ohioans who survived the cuts process by solving 11 puzzles in 15 minutes. Though the shoe saleswoman racked up some big time goodies, she said the whole studio experience was rather disconcerting. "The wheel is very heavy. They have you looking at the letterboard in one place, and a list of contestants and their prizes in another.
It's not as calm as it seems on TV." 0 The great cable television blackout never occurred early yesterday morning. Viacom Cablevision of Cleveland postponed its scheduled shutdown until Aug. 18 because of technical difficulties, a company spokesman said this week. The Cleveland Heightsbased franchise, which serves 22 eastern suburbs, now plans to sign off at midnight Sunday and return at 6 a.m. the next morning in order to convert part of its cable system to microwave dish transmissions.
3 Cast changes as interesting 1. as returning network shows BY GARY DEEB 7. NEWS AMERICA SYNDICATE More than 20 new prime-time programs busy preparing for their fall premieres next month on NBC, CBS and ABC. But of almost as much. interest are the cast changes, the storyline decisions and the switches in direction by the more than two dozen returning nighttime shows.
Here's a rundown of the alterations about to come into view on the primetime programs that are due back this fall: "THE A-TEAM" Robert Vaughn will join this cartoonish adventure series as a government agent who becomes the boss of the team. Meanwhile, George Peppard, Mr. Co. will add a fifth member to their scraggly crew a demolition expert portrayed by Eddie Velez.

Actually, she added only some unintentional "camp" value to the show. Besides the retirement of Stanwyck, "The Colbys" is dumping the character played by Ken Howard. "DALLAS" It's hello again, Bobby, as the dimwitted producers of this gross insult try to batten down the hatches against the upcoming direct competition from "Miami Vice" by reviving the Ewing brother played by that lummox Patrick Duffy.

"The pictures now have to be seen," he said, "and let 1 the imagination rup free." The artist, in a telephone interview from his summer home in Cushing, Maine, was elaborating on comments published Saturday in the CourierGazette: in nearby Rockland. But he said he would go no further than the comments given the local newspaper, and' would not talk about the newly discovered paintings or their subject.
