People in the news Crosbys conduct last 'Clambake' SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The Bing Croeby National Pro-Am, which has paired Hollywood stars with professional golfers over the years to raise millions for charity, will no longer carry the Crosby name after a decision by the family to sever all ties to the tournament. In her announcement Monday, Kathryn Crosby, Bing’s widow, cited corporate “exploitation” of the event as the main reason for the family’s move. Deane Beman, commissioner of the PGA Tour, said he regretted the Crosby family’s decision, but said the tournament will continue, under a different name with a different sponsor. The “Old Clambake,” as the tourney was called since its inception in 1937, has been one of golf’s premier events. “For 40 years, Bing resisted all attempts to commercialize his yearly gathering of friends,” Mrs. Crosby said in a statement released by family friend Ben Langella. “Now the wrong elements have seized control of what was Bing’s tournament and they are determined to transform the Old Clambake into just another corporate sideshow for the PGA. “Bing would never have permitted such exploitation of his name,” she said. Her son, golfer Nathaniel Crosby, who has been the official host of the tournament since his father’s death on a golf course in Spain in 1977, agreed with the decision, according to a family representative. The tournament raised $1 million annually for charity. A source close to the tournament and Mrs. Crosby said she decided to break off from the tournament because of “behind the scenes” activity involving the PGA, the foundation’s executive committee and AT&T, a potential sponsor. “There are some people on the board down there (at Pebble Beach) that want to grab for the money,” the source said. He said Mrs. Crosby believed that a member of the foundation was getting a $50,000 to $150,000 finder’s fee from a potential corporate sponsor. Beman said Kathryn Crosby’s characterization of events involving the tournament was “erroneous. I am convinced that is not the case.” • LONDON (AP) Prince Charles, the 36-year-old heir to the British throne, has not turned over the household reins to his 23-year-old wife, Diana, despite newspaper reports to the contrary, the royal family’s press secretary said. “All I can say is that the prince and princess of Wales are an extremely balanced and happy family,” said Michael Shea in an interview published today in Woman’s Own magazine. “Anyone who knows them knows that to suggest one has a sway over the other is absolute nonsense. Both of them are forthright and independent. It’s as simple as that.” Shea also said Queen Elizabeth II has no intention of abdicating to let Charles become king. “It is not in the style of the British monarchy, historically or otherwise,” Shea said. “The system has always been: ‘The king is dead, long live the king.’” There have been suggestions in recent years that the queen, 59, should abdicate before she gets too old.

BING CROSBY Started tourney in '37

LOS ANGELES (AP) Pop star Prince and his three bodyguards, targets of four freelance photographers’ lawsuits after a scuffle outside a Sunset Strip restaurant, must answer lawyers’ questions, a judge ruled. Prince must meet May 21 with attorneys for Mike Guastella, who filed one suit, and Vincent Zuffante, Richard Kolnsberg and Kevin Winter, who filed the other, Superior Court Judge Robert O’Brien ruled Monday. Bodyguards Charles Huntsberry, Lawrence Gibson and Wallace Safford must answer questions May 22 and 23 Gibson and Safford were arrested following the scuffle and are awaiting trial. Gibson, 26, was charged with petty theft because he allegedly took a camera. Both he and Safford, 25, were charged with misdemeanor battery. The plaintiffs contend they were assaulted by the bodyguards Jan. 29 outside a reception Prince and his band, The Revolution, had held after the American Music Awards. WASHINGTON (AP) A Superior Court judge has ruled that Bob Woodward, author of a book about John Belushi, is not needed to testify in the upcoming trial of Cathy Evelyn Smith, who is charged in the comedian’s death. Judge Joseph N. Hannon ruled Monday that Woodward, assistant managing editor of The Washington Post, was not “material or necessary” in the case against Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith is accused of injecting Belushi with a fatal drug overdose. Her lawyers were seeking notes, memos, recordings, diaries and other resource material Woodward used in writing “Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi.” Ms. Smith, a former backup singer for such recording artists as Hoyt Axton and Gordon Lightfoot, was indicted in March 1983, a year after Belushi’s death. The judge said Ms. Smith’s lawyers could request another subpoena in the future if they have new information. NASHVILLE, Term. (AP) Country music star Johnny Cash was doing well after surgery to repair scar tissue and adhesions from the 1983 removal of part of his stomach because of ulcers, his office announced. Cash, 53. known for such hits as “I Walked The Line” and “Ring of Fire,” underwent 45 minutes surgery Monday at Baptist Hospital to relieve discomfort, said an official at the House of Cash.
