Pace Thirty Four SOUTHERN ILLINOISAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1980 New York (AP) With a boost from the premiere of "Flo," CBS won the networks' ratings race for the week ending March 30 and pulled even with ABC for the season. CBS listed seven of the week's 10 highest-rated programs, figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. showed, including "M-A-S-H," which tied for first with "Flo," and "60 Minutes" in third place. The rating for "Flo," a spinoff from CBS popular "Alice," and for "M-A-S-H" was 30.3.

Nielsen says that means of all the TV-equipped homes in the country, just over three in 10 saw at least part of the new show starring Polly Holliday. CBS' rating for the week of 20.3 pushed the network's average rating for the season to 19.5 the same as ABC's. ABC's rating for the most recent week was 18.5, and NBC was third at The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute during the week, 20.3 percent of the homes in the country with television were tuned to CBS. CBS and ABC are tied for first for this year despite the fact ABC broad-ast both the World Series and the Winter Olympics, always sure ratings winners. ABC still has the Academy Awards show coming up this month at 9 p.m.

"City in Fear" on ABC was 22nd, "The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd" on CBS was 39th, and the first installment in NBC's repeat of Jesus of Nazareth" was 45th. Here are the week's Top 10 shows: "Flo" and "M-A-S-H," both 30.3 representing 23.1 million homes, and "60 Minutes," 29.1 or 22.2 million, all CBS; "That's Incredible," 28.6 or 21.8 million, ABC; "Dukes of Haz-zard," 26.4 or 20.1 million, and "Dallas," 25.8 or 19.7 million, both CBS; "Three's Company," 25.5 or 19.5 million, ABC; "Alice," 25.4 or 19.4 million, and "The Jeffersons," 24.2 or 18.5 million, both CBS, and "CHiPs," 'Ho' boosts CBS to top in ratings race almost 'too pirate for western ---V a WEEKDAYS SAT. 8 MANN THEATRES Iff 2:15 4:30 1(1111 EAST5OTrh' that the schoolteacher is fat; she Wears the clothes of a woman of those times.

By Bob Thomas Hollywood (AP) Steve McQueen is coming back to the nation's movie theaters after a five-year absence, and his leading lady is the newly separated Linda Evans. Once married to John Derek, the actress has split with second husband Stan Herman, a wealthy Beverly Hills real estate man.

Hers has been a stop-and-go career. "When I'm married, I work less," she explains. "I didn't work for five years during the time I was married to John, because he didn't want me to. It was the same with my second marriage. Fortunately, I have an understanding agent." Miss Evans is co-starring with McQueen in the new Warner Brothers release "Tom Horn," which could bring a resurgence of the western as well as Miss Evans' career.

McQueen plays the legendary hero, she is the frontier schoolteacher who becomes fascinated with him. "When I was suggested to Steve, he said I was too attractive. The picture has been his project from beginning to end, and he wanted authenticity in everything the costumes, the buildings, the faces; he wanted it to have the look of the old West, and he succeeded. "He finally agreed to see me, and I was instructed to come to the interview without makeup or hair styling. As soon as we started talking, we seemed to have a mutual feeling for the character of the schoolteacher; that she should not be outwardly beautiful but her attractiveness should come from something inside her." Miss Evans, who is accustomed to glamorous roles, admitted she became "a little nervous" when McQueen decreed that she qualified.

McQueen, who served as executive producer as well as star, had her wear a gold tooth, her hair in a bun. "And he insisted that I have big, bulky clothes," she said.
