NEW YORK OP) NBC's "Police Woman" series was the nation's most popular evening television show last week, according to A. C. Nielsen ratings. However, a new NBC series, "Archer," didn't fare well in its premiere last Thursday night. It was watched by an estimated 27 pet.

of the viewing audience. Networks generally consider 30 pet. indicative of success. Despite its heavily promoted "second season," ABC failed to land a single show among the top 20. THE 20 most-watched shows from Jan.

27 to Feb. 2 were: "Police Woman" (NBC) "All in the Family" (CBS) "Sanford and Son" (NBC) "Chico and the Man" (NBC) "The Jeffersons" (CBS) "Koiak" (CBS) "Rockford Files" (NBC) "The Wallons" (CBS) "Mannix" (CBS) "Little House on the Praire" (NBC) "Mary Tyler Moore Show' (CBS) "Rhoda" (CBS) "Hawaii Flve-O" (CBS) "Cannon" (CBS) "The Sullivan Years" (CBS) "Emerqency" (NBC) "Maude" (CBS) "Police Story" (NBC) "Bob Newhart Show" (CBS) "Charlie Brown Special" (CBS) Sen. Hubert Humphrey about one-third in the amount participants now pay for stamps. Congressional opponents said it made no sense to take away food money for the poor at the time they are getting a double dose of trouble from both inflation and recession.

Humphrey an original sponsor of the food stamp por-gram, said it made no sense to increase military and foreign aid budgets and try at the same time to cut food aid to the poor in this country. "What kind of economics is that?" Humphrey asked. "It makes Scrooge look like a social worker." By RICHARD L.

LYONS Washington Post Service WASHINGTON The Senate joined the House Wednesday in casting an overwhelming vote to block the administration's plan to increase the cost of food stamps to the poor on March 1. By a vote of 76 to 8 the Senate sent to the White House a bill already approved by the House, 374 to 38, forbidding any cost increase to the poor during the remainder- of 1975. The two votes made it clear that Congress could muster the two-thirds necessary to override a presidential veto. There have been reports that even though the bill appears certain to become law, it may be too late in some states to reset, before March 1, computers that have been programmed to turn out food stamps at the higher cost. If so, purchasers would be entitled to refunds.

THE PLAN to save $G50 million a year in Federal spending by making all but the very" poor pay more for food stamps was drawn last Fall when inflation rather than recession still appeared to be the nation's main economic problem. The 17 million participants in the food-subsidy program, which now costs about $4 billion a year, would be required under the administration plan to pay 30 pet. of their net income for food stamps.
