See Bearded Intruder
On TV Quiz Show
NEW YORK, UP)—Viewers of
“The $64,000 Challenge” TV quiz
show last night were startled to
hear themselves challenged.
In the midst of the program, a
tall, bearded man walked in front
of a camera and read from a pre
pared statement:
“America, I have a challenge.
The Russians are ahead of you....”
He got no further. The camera
swung away from him, he was
grabbed by the stage director and
was ushered into the wings.
Police identified the man as
Richard Fichter, 34, Springfield,
Pa. He was taken to Bellevue
Hospital and admitted to the psy
chiatric ward.
