 ABC will bring back on Oct. 3 an old favorite that has been off the air for a few seasons. This is the Pot O Gold program on which $10O0 is given away weekly via a random telephone call. The Federal Communications Commission once froWned on this idea, but apparently the kinks have been smoothed out. This show, by the way, is enough to give any opposition program the jitters. Thousands of listeners pass up anything else, no matter how good, just on the chance that that Sl,000 phone call will come their way.
