Pinky Lee Collapse
Laid to Overwork

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. q Dr..
Comedian Pinky Lee, 81. is going
to be out of action about one
week because of the collapse that
terminated his fcoast-to-coast
television show yesterday. but
those who follow him win see
him on film.
For a while the little comic in
the checkered coat was thought
toi have sffuered a heart attack
when he grasped his throat and
called for help. The TV cameras
turned away from him and he
was led to his dressing room as
the studio took over and started
a film rolling.
An examination disclosed no
apparent heart damage and Mr..
Lees physician said he believed
the collapse was due to over
work, exhaustion and nervous
ness.
NBC, which carries the Pinky
Lee Show five days a week, said
its switchboard was deluged with
calls from all over the Nation,
asking what had happened to the
comic. He had been playing a
holdup scene, had been knocked
down four times, and suddenly
he felt himself growing faint.
Mr.. Lee was taken to St.
Joseph's Hospital at Burbank.

|Unspent Funds
AT SCI Billion
BY the ASSOCIATED Pres.

- $50 ~-S~'S~~~SSS . A~S@
Congress watchdog committee
on Federal spending reports
Government agencies had $91.3
billion in unspent balances last
May 81.
This represented about a 81
billion decrease from 1894 billion
in total balances at the end Of
the preceding fiscal year. June
80. 1854.
Senator Byrd. Democrat of
Virginia. chairman Of the Senate
House Committee on Reduction
of Nonessential Federal Expendi-
lures. used figures for May 81 as
the latest available from the
Treasury. These showed spend
ing of some $6.8 billion less than
the estimated $64.5 billion for
the entire year ended June 30.
Applying this difference, the
total of unexpended balances
would have been roughly $84.5
billion at the close Of the 1855
fiscal year.
Time limits on certain appro-
priations could reduce that total.
But on July /. when q new
fiscal year began. appropriations
amounting to some $52.2 billion
were added on to the available
balances.
