Nielsen Co. national prime-time ratings for the sixth straight week with the help of MASH and its spin-off series, Trapper John, M.D. MASH, a comedy about the Korean War, had only slightly better ratings than Trapper John, M.D., which is about Trapper John's adventures nearly 30 years later. MASH seemed to be keeping the ratings in the family.

The fourth most popular show of the week ending June 28 was House Calls, which stars Wayne Rogers, who was Trapper John in MASH. All of the shows are on CBS. MASH had a rating of 20.2, which means of all the nation's TV-equipped homes, 20.2 percent saw at least part of the show. The rerun of another episode of the ABC miniseries The Generations again landed near the cellar. Only the NBC Friday Night Movie Buck Rogers placed lower.

CBS won the week again with a rating of 14.4. ABC had a rating of 13.3 and NBC had a showing of 10.9. The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute 14.4 percent of the nation's homes with TV were tuned to CBS. Here are the week's 10 highest-rated shows: MASH, with a rating of 20.2 representing 16.1 million homes, CBS; Trapper John, M.D., 20.0 or 16 million, CBS' Three's Company, 19.8 or 15.8 million, ABC; House Calls 19.8 or 15.8 million, CBS; Too Close for Comfort, 18.8 or 15 0 million, ABC; The Jeffersons, 18.7 or 14.9 million, CBS; The Dukes of Hazzard, 18.6 or 14.9 million, CBS; Alice, 18 0 or 14.4 million, CBS; Facts of Life, 17.8 or 14.2 million, NBC- Hart to Hart, 17.7 or 14.1 million.

"From the air, you can see it happening," says Root, who shares an 88-acre wildlife sanctuary northwest of Nairobi, Kenya, with his wife and filmmaking partner. "It's terrifying really." Destruction of wildlife by hunters and traders is one problem, he says, and the country's burgeoning population is another.

"Kenya is particularly critical," Root says, "because it is not a very big country. Although it's semiarid, there has been a tremendous population explosion half the population is under the age of 15 and that spells disaster." "They've just been driven out," Mrs. Root says of the animals who once roamed the land with little interference from man. "Most of them are confined to parks, which are surrounded by cultivated land. They can't cross from park to park, and wander as they once did." "There hasn't been any place on Earth as rich in wildlife as the African savannah," Root says, "and that's what goes first." Root says the problem is at least partly political.

"We've had politicians stand up and say, 'As long as we've got the animals, we're going to be a second class The Roots set out nearly two years ago to capture on film Horoscope BY STELLA WILDER Wednesday, July 1 Born today, you are one of those highly ambitious individuals who combines a dremer's soul with a practical nature to achieve goals both materially and spiritually satisfying.

The result was Lights! Actwn! Africa! The Fnxcinatwa Advent unx of Wildlife Photographers Alan Joan Root a production of Survival Anglia, to be broadcast by CBS Wednesday evening, 7-8 CDT. Producing a film with wild creatures as the leading players is a painstaking task, often dependent on variables like weather, lighting and timing that could delay the project months or, in some cases, years.

"We were doing a sequence on crocodiles," Root recalls, "and we weren't really aware that the activity we wanted occurred on only one day. Most of the year, the crocodile lives on small fish but there's this one day, when the wildebeeste passes by and stops for water, and on that day, all hell breaks loose. "Then that's it," he says. "By the end of the day, the croc has had his fill. We missed that day.

"The next year, we set up our blind far in advance and then I got malaria," Root says. "It wasn't 'til the third season that we got this activity on film." Root was born in London and moved to Africa with his family at the age of 9. Mrs. Root was born and raised in Africa They have been married for 20 years.
