the evictions without bloodshed, al-

He said his office would help find

Tony Orlando in hospital
suffering frohi stress
L°S ANGFLBS (AP) — Singer Buster Bonoff, owner of the War-
Tony Orlando, confused and emo- .WlCt, Mid he planned to sue the
tionally shattered, is being treated
at a private hospital for stress
brought on by the deaths of his sister
and his pal Freddie Prinze, says a
friend of Orlando.
I was fortunate enough to get him going to be that he
where he is now without anyone
knowing," said Orlando's press
agent, Frank Lieberman, on
Wednesday. "He is physically and
emotionally exhausted. He's under a
doctor's care in a hospital outside
Los Angeles. His wife is with him."
Orlando surprised the entertain-
ment world last month by announc-
ing he was quitting. Lieberman said
many pressures led to the decision.
"It's like a balloon," he said. "You
can fill it up and fill it up and finally
It pops."
When the balloon popped for Or-
lando, he was working the summer
theater circuit. On July 23, he was a
little late coming onstage at Cohas-
set, Mass.
When he did appear, he told a
stunned audience that he was "quit-
ting show business in the name of
Jesus Christ."
"All the shows I do from now on
will be with a guitar beside a hospi-
tal bed," he said.
Orlando also canceled a booking at
the Warwick, R.I., Music Theater.
Energy cabinet post created
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter, with flourishing pen and
abundant praise, today signed into

something. I can see it coming."

tenants of a hotel scheduled to be

1.000 protestors gave way to some

The mass eviction was coordinated
