...SOUTHAMPTON (ABC, 9-9:30 p.m.). Phyllis Diller as the widowed head of the poor but proud Pruitts of Long Island. The first episode, "Phyllis Goes for Broke," chronicles Uncle Ned's (Reginald Gardiner) efforts to marry Phyllis off to moneyed stuffiness, General Cannon (John McGiver). Gypsy Rose Lee plays a noisy neighbor...
...despite "cultural differences," may some day be as intimate as those between the U.S. and Britain. As "the only two great industrial nations facing the Pacific side of the world" the U.S. and Japan are "natural and essential partners." In a rare eulogy, a spokesman for the Japanese press rose to thank Reischauer for "frankness and cooperation."

...Shelf. Not surprisingly, Billy's non-burial recently made Variety's front page: BILLY ROSE ESTATE HUNG-UP . . . LEGENDS CONTINUE TO FLOWER IN DEATH. In California, Sister Polly responded with an emotional letter to Variety in which she blamed everything on the executors. Columnist Leonard Lyons last week brightly suggested that Billy be buried in the foundations of the 50-story skyscraper that will rise on the former site of his Ziegfeld Theater, the sale of which enriched the estate by $18 million. In Manhattan, Sister Miriam responded with a letter telling Lyons not to be "callous...
