THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Donald Trump has dumped Marla Maples, the alleged other woman in his breakup with Ivana Trump, newspapers reported Thursday.

Trump told Maples in a brief phone call Monday that it was over, according to the New York Post. The paper said it got the information from "a reliable source."

The Daily News reported that Trump told friends last week, "She's on her own," and that he didn't leave his wife to be tied down.

"What relationship between me and Marla? The fact that someone happens to like me, that's her problem," the News quoted Trump as saying to friends.

Trump also changed his private number so Maples, an actress and model, can no longer call him at home, the Post said.

A spokesman for Maples said there has been no change in the relationship, which he said was never more than a friendship.

"He has not cut off communication," said spokesman Chuck Jones. "Some people are going to have egg on their face if they say that."

\ Hank Williams Jr. will donate proceeds from a concert to help flood victims in southeast Alabama, a childhood playground for the country and western singer.

Merle Kilgore, Williams' manager, said Wednesday that Williams will donate his concert fee and concession sales from an April 1 concert in Birmingham to the people of Elba.

They hope to raise more than $100,000, Kilgore said.

High waters swept away parts of a levee surrounding Elba last weekend and inundated the town.

Gov. Guy Hunt's office will administer the money, Kilgore said. More than 2,000 people were evacuated when the town nearly disappeared under water Saturday.

\ Prince Charles is working on a television documentary in which he will make a worldwide plea to save the environment, the British Broadcasting Corp. announced Thursday.

It will be the second TV documentary made by the heir to the British throne. The BBC has already aired one on British architecture.
