26-Sept. 7. LOS ANGELES (AP) Millions of Americans tuned in to see nasty J.R. Ewing get his due in the season's closing episode of "Dallas," and the show helped push CBS to a hefty victory in the week's TV ratings race. Ewing, the ruthless oil executive played by Larry Hagman, was gunned down in the Friday episode, which was the weeks top-rated show, according to figures from the A.C.

Nielsen Co. Fans of the exploits of the millionaire Texas Ewing family will have to wait until next season to find out whether the villainous J.R. Ewing lives or dies and whodunit. Meanwhile, CBS moved closer to taking first place from front-running ABC in the television network ratings for the season. CBS was No.

1 in the week ending March 23 with a rating of 19.6, and won Monday, Thursday and Friday nights. ABC was second with a rating of 18.1, winning Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. NBC finished place at 17.9, but its shift of "CHiPs" from Saturday to Sunday helped it wrest Sunday away from CBS. The networks say the ratings mean that in an average prime-time minute during the week, 19.6 percent of the homes in the country with television were tuned to CBS. ABC holds a narrow lead in the ratings for the season overall at 19.6, compared to CBS, at 19.5.

NBC is a distant third at 17.8. CBS' premiere of "Pal-merstown, U.S.A." placed 17th. "United States," NBC's critically acclaimed new comedy, placed 64th.

The dancers come out dressed in outlandish getups from football player to bewigged clown. You return to childhood as they bi-zarrely recount the tale. At the end, the dance turns into a strip show, a harmless one.

In sum, the company 'a work is art but hardly the musty, pretentious kind. By WARREN GERDS Of th Prei-Goztt Modern dance with touches of mirth and a strong dose of innovation is on display at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Visiting is the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company of Salt Lake City. The six-dancer troupe played to a half-full house Tuesday in the UWGB theater. It returns tonight at 8:15, repeating only one of its selections.

That one is a dandy. "No-Where Bird" coordinates live dance with film. It's a fascinating work, and it helped earn the company enthusiastic approval at closing curtain Tuesday. Choreographed by Joan Woodbury (who shares artistic direction with Shirley Ririe), the piece focuses on travelers awaiting departure from a train (or bus) station. The dancers take on characters a serviceman, a businessman, etc.

On the surface, they're strangers. But then imagination comes into play, and they break off into fantasy relationships with one another some romantic, some comic. In one of the more challenging segments, film and live dance form a unique partnership. Dancers Lynn Walter Topovski and Suzanne Renner romp not only together on stage but with their costumed counterparts on the background screen. The screen is divided into six rectangles.

With help from your mind's eye, you see them jump from their live to thjeir filmed selves and back as portions of the screen light up and black out in constant action. It's an excellent and unique effect. Most of the work by the company is in ensemble. The dancing is marked by precision, and the choreography (some borrowed, some original) by a love of inventive bodily1-configurations. Elements of mime also reoccur.

The troupe (which also includes Robin Edward Johnson, Diane Matsunaga, Dennis Wright and Geor-ganne Arlington) illustrates that fine dancers come in all builds. They are husky, tiny and lanky. And all are strong and lithe. Ririe and Woodbury are no stiffly serious creators. They entertain along with being solemn.

Thus "Proximities" (choreographed by Murray Louis to the music of Brahm's Serenade in A) becomes a joyous interlude akin to kids at play. "Forest Dreams" (choreographed by Tandy Beal to jazz saxophone and piano) is a crisp excursion through a place the title describes. Merriest of all is "Sesame Seeds and Peas" (choreographed by Wood Bay Port to host music contest Calvin L.
