Grasshoppers threaten Dakota cattle ranches Pierre, S.D. (AP) Grasshoppers are putting the bit on the grass supply of western South Dakota cattlemen. More than a million areas of grassland are heavily infested with grasshoppers, up to 100 hoppers per square yard in some southwestern and southcentral counties, authorities say, and eight adult grasshoppers per square yard can eat as much forage as a cow. The problem is worse for ranchers because extremely dry conditions have limited the growth of grass, said Michael McNamara, emergency assistance planner for the state Agriculture Department.

"They're so short on grass, if they can't control the hoppers they won't be able to maintain their herds," he said. Final all-male class graduates from West Point West Point, N.Y. (AP) Tradition gets a last salute today as the nation's oldest military academy commissions its last all-male class of cadets. Some 228 women now are enrolled at the academy, and in 1980 West Point will graduate its first women second lieutenants. GM settles EPA suit over emissions tests Detroit (AP) General Motors Corp.

has agreed to pay a $90,000 settlement to the government in a pollution test case and the government, in turn, has agreed to drop a criminal investigation against the automaker, spokesmen say. The U.S. Justice Department and GM reached an out-of-court settlement Tuesday in a case involving allegations that the nation's largest automaker cheated on auto emission tests, U.S. Attorney James K. Robinson of Detroit said.

"It was determined that criminal prosecution was not appropriate," Robinson said in a written statement. Under the settlement, the Environmental Protection Agency and GM agreed to drop the accusations each had made about the other. GM also agreed to certify to the EPA in future spot checks of emissions levels that no production changes had been made in cars to pass the tests. Detroit (AP) Scrambling for fuel economy, Americans bought imported cars in record numbers in May. Buyers shied away from American cars, except the small models.

While total industry sales fell 9.2 percent, domestic makes dropped 17 percent and imports rose 30 percent. National scene Twenty-four percent of all May buyers, nearly one out of four, chose a car made abroad. Small cars accounted for an estimated 56 percent of deliveries in May, up from 54 percent in April. The record is 57 percent, set in February 1975, as manufacturers cut prices on recession-bloated inventory. GM was the only company whose sales for the year were running ahead of 1978.

While the No. 1 producer, helped by sales of its new front-wheel drive subcompacts, was up 0.4 percent, others were down between 12 percent and 21 percent. Home mortgage rates are still climbing Washington (AP) Americans thinking of buying a home probably can expect interest rates on home mortgages to continue climbing, bank regulators ay. The average effective interest rate on a mortgage for a new home rose to 10.48 percent from early April to early May, according to a Federal Home Loan Bank Board report released Tuesday. The rate was 10.36 percent in early April.

It was the 18th month in a row that the rate went up. Committee tightens Medicaid abortion rules Washington (AP) The House Appropriations Committee has voted to further tighten guidelines that have already cut off more than 99 percent of government-financed abortions. The committee voted twice by one-vote margins Tuesday to allow Medi-caid-financed abortions only in cases where a woman's life is threatened by a full-term pregnancy. Existing guidelines allow abortion payments if a woman's life is in danger, in cases of rape or incest that have been promptly reported to authorities and where two physicians certify that a woman would suffer severe and long- COLOR PRfiJTS FOR THE PRICE OF no ON ALL COLOR ROLLS PROCESSED 20 EXPOSURE COLOR FILM SIZES 110, 126 or 135 WITH ANY PHOTO FINISHING ORDER LADY BORDEN PREMIUM ICE CREAM REGULAR 5.50 CHECH THE PRICE at THRIFTY DRUG STORES! 4-OZ.

The rating for "Three's Company" was 23.4, less than a point better than the runner-up. Nielsen says that means of all the homes in the country with television, 23.4 percent saw at least part of the ABC situation comedy. Despite the basketball game, CBS did not have a show in the bottom five. The ranking: No.

58 "Battlestar Galactica" and No. 59 "Welcome Back Kotter," both ABC; No. 60 "Comedy Theater," NBC; No. 61 "Operation Petticoat," ABC, and No. 62 "Hizzonner," NBC.

Here are the week's 10 most-watched programs: "Three's Company," with a rating of 23.4 representing 17.4 million homes, ABC; Movie "The Best Place to Be," Part II, 22.8 or 17 million, NBC; "Mork and Mindy," 21.9 or 16.3 million, ABC; "Bob Hope's Birthday Party," 21 or 15.6 million, NBC; "Laverne and Shirley," 20.7 or 15.4 million, and "Fantasy Island," 20.6 or 15.3 million, both ABC; "Alice" and "MASH," both 20.5 or 15.2 million, both CBS; "60 Minutes," 20.3 or 15.1 million, CBS, and "Taxi," 20 or 14.9 million, ABC. The next 10 shows: "Charlie's Angels," ABC; "One Day at a Time," CBS; "Barbara Walters Special," ABC; "All in the Family," CBS; "Happy Days," ABC; Movie "The Survival of Dana," CBS; "Angie," ABC; "33rd Annual Tony Awards" and "WKRP in Cincinnati," both CBS, and "Quincy, M.E.," NBC. New York (AP) NBC, mired for 15 weeks in third place, nudged past CBS in the prime-time ratings race in the week ending June 3, thanks in large measure to big audiences for the concluding chapter of "The Best Place to Be" and "Bob Hope's Birthday Party." ABC, off track a bit, had five of the week's 10 most-watched programs, including "Three's Company" in first place for the third week in a row, and regained the No. 1 spot in the networks' competition. ABC, in recent weeks, seldom listed fewer than seven of the week's most-watched shows.

Figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. showed CBS in third place for the first time since the week ending Feb. 11. CBS won the networks' race the previous week after a 19-week domination by ABC.

"The Best Place to Be," No. 2 for the week, and "Bob Hope's Birthday Party," No. 4, were being broadcast for the first time, as was CBS' "60 Minutes," which finished ninth. All other Top 10 programs were reruns of previous episodes. CBS was hurt by the relatively small audience for its broadcast of the pro basketball championship game Friday night between Seattle and Washington.

The sports special was No. 55 of 62 programs in prime time. ABC's rating for the week was 16.2, with NBC second at 15.4 and CBS third at 15.3. The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute during RHULIHiST OFF! INSECT REPELLENT KEEPS MOSQUITOES AWAY FROM YOU! 13-OZ. SPRAY.
