Viewpoint By Jay NEW YORK (AP)- After a month of the new television season, it appears that viewers checking out the new series are solidly hooked on CBS' "Phyllis," ABC's "Starsky and Hutch" and NBC's "Joe For- rester." They initially liked CBS' "Switch" and ABC's "When Things Were Rotten," but may be losing interest now. On the other hand, they weren't very high on ABC's "Welcome Back, Kotter" when the season began, but last week "Kotter" seemed very much in favor with view- ers. So goes the tube-watching patterns unfolding in the week- ly audience samples of A.C. Nielsen patterns which show at least nine new series in dire ratings straits since "pre- miere week" of last month. NBC already has axed two of those series "The Monte- fuscos" and "Fay," which were getting battered by CBS' "The Waltons" and ABC's "Barney and "On the Rocks" in the Thursday night Nielsens.

And further cuts may be afoot as NBC, which twice this season has wound up No. 3 in the weekly rating averages for evening programs, tries to re- capture the No. 2 position it has held in past seasons. Although a spokesman de- Son-in-law of Franco roughed up MADRID, Spain (AP) Dutch vacationers angry over Spain's execution of five young terrorists roughed up the son- in-law of Gen. Francisco Franco and forced him to be hospitalized, officials said They said the incident oc- curred Monday night in a res- taurant in the south coast resort town of Marbella.

Franco's son-in-law, Dr Cristobal Martinez-Bordiu, Spain's leading chest surgeon, reportedly approached the group of Dutchmen as they berated Spain for the executions Sept. 27. A fist fight broke out, and the Spaniard sustained facial injuries. There was no word of any arrests. Martinez-Bordiu, 52, is mar- ried to Carmen Franco, the Spanish leader's only child.

clined to comment on a trade report that NBC's new "Family Holvak" and "Invisible Man" series are being dropped, he did say the network will announce program changes later this week. He declined to go into specifics. At ABC, which is enjoying its best season in years, a spokes- man said no changes would be announced for at least three weeks. Such certainty was not ap- parent at CBS, which last week recaptured its longtime first- place standing in the weekly ratings averages after an un- precedented three-network tie the previous week. A spokesman said, "We an- ticipate nothing today," adding that he didn't know if any changes would be announced soon.

Another uncertain note was sounded by CBS on Monday, which last week said its low- rated "Beacon Hill" and "Kate McShane" series would ex- change time periods on Oct. 21 and 22 in hope of improving ratings. Now, it says the change won't be made because "Beacon 1IU1" last week posted a slight rise in ratings and the network Ls encouraged. Howard Cosell's well-publi- cized Saturday night variety show has suffered a similar fate in its three weeks on the air, averaging a 23 per cent share of audience since its premiere on ABC. Other new shows which have had consistently weak ratings since the start of the season are "Three for the Road" and "Big Eddie" on CBS and ABC's "Barbary Coast" and "Mobile One." On the brighter side, last week's 20 most popular shows, according to Nielsen estimates, were "All in the Family," "Maude" and "Phyllis" (CBS); "Sanford and Son" (NBC); "Six Million Dollar Man" and "Streets of San Francisco" (ABC); "Rhoda," "Kojack," "The Waltons" and "Medical Center" (CBS; "Little House on the Prairie" (NBC); "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Good Times" (CBS); "Chico and the Man" (NBC); "Carol Burnett" (CBS); "Police Woman" (NBC); "Bob Newhart" and "Cannon" (CBS); and "Welcome Back, Kotter" (ABC).

food questioned By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The head of a major farm organ- ization says a U.S. proposal for setting up an international grain reserve as a hedge against future world shortages would hurt American farmers. Tony T. Dechant, president of the National Farmers Union, said the plan "is designed to permit the dumping of govern- ment-controlled supplies on the market to break farmers' prices." Dechant, in a statement Tuesday issued by NFU here, said he has asked other farm organization leaders to oppose the U.S. grain reserve plan.

It was presented last wetk in London to a meeting of the In- ternational Wheat Council. As drafted, the U.S. proposal calls for a world grain reserve of 30 million metric tons to be held by individual countries participating in the program. Those would including both ex- porting and importing nations. The U.S.

plan said each par- ticipating country would be re- sponsible for creating and maintaining its own reserve in whatever manner it chose. However, if a country needed to draw upon reserves of another because of harvest shortfalls, the grain would be made available at prevailing market prices. The Ford administration has not spelled out specifically what it has in mind for building and maintaining the U.S. share of an international grain re- serve tentatively estimated at up to one-third of the pro- posed 30 million tons. But Agri- culture Secretary Earl L.

Butz has insisted all along that it be left in the hands of farmers and the private trade. Dechant said his organization has "always supported respon- sible measures" to protect con- sumers against the risk of food shortages. But a responsible food reserve system must also protect farmers against the risk of price-depressing sur- pluses, he said. "This administration's pro- posal would not protect farm- ers," Dechant said. "It would io nothing to assure fair prices to farmers in times of sur- Slaughter prices up, pork remains high By MARGY MeCAY Associated Press Writer SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) Consumers should expect the price of pork to remain high at least through the end of the year because of record slaugh- terhouse prices currently being paid throughout the Midwest, a federal livestock expert says.

"Hog prices will be high until at least the first of the year longer if the producers don't come back into the market," Sheldon Reese, director of the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture's Market News Service, said Tuesday. And he said rising slaughter- house prices will be passed along to consumers. price for butcher hogs in these United States, and it will go higher," said Harlan Bane, president of the Joliet Stock- yards. Records were also set in Peo- ria, East St.

Louis, HI. 165.50; South St Paul, Minn t65; Omaha, St Joseph, $64.50, and Sioux City, SW.25. "I wouldn't be surprised to see that it will be well into the fall of 1976 before pork prices come down," Bane said. In the most recent AP Mar- ketbasket survey of prices in supermarkets in 13 cities, the price of pork went up in four cities, down in three cities, re- mained unchanged in five cities mamea uncnanged in five cities The current record prices are and was unavailable in one citv a reaction to low prices a year between the August and Ser ago, Reese said "Hogs got too cheap. They were selling in the 20s and 30s (dollars) and were a losing pro- position.

Grain was too high, and hogs we re too cheap. When you lose $50 to $100 a head, you don't stay in too long." He said the number of hogs being slaughtered nationally is running about 25 per cent below normal this year. "You take a quarter of the supply of anything away hogs, sugar, gasoline and the price increases along with the demand," he said. Record prices were reported at all major Midwest livestock markets on Tuesday the highest $66.50 per hundred pounds at Joliet, 111.

(AP) An elderly rural Albert Lea man was killed in an automo- bile collision Tuesday on U.

S. Highway 69 about two miles south of Albert Lea. The death of Neil Ackland, 70, raised Minnesota's 1975 road toll to 580, compared with C37 a year ago. rThe car Ackland was driving collided with one driven by John Schilpz, 38, Lake Mills, Iowa.

(AP) Defensive lineman Carl EUer of the Minnesota Vikings says he would like to open a J650.000 restaurant, art gallery, book- store, information center, gift shop and office building on Ni- collet Island in Minneapolis. Eller has approached the Minneapolis Housing and Rede- velopment Authority with his proposal, and the agency re- ferred the proposal to its policy and planning committee while it mulls the fate of the island. Eller's proposed estab- lishment would be located in an old, three-story former saw mill, and would be called "The Milt Restaurant and Gallery." pluses.

It would enable the gov- ernment to dump reserves onto the market to 'bust' farmers' prices. The over-hanging threat of government dumping of grain onto the market would keep prices to farmers chro- nially depressed." Instead, tlie NFU wants a plan in which "a guaranteed floor" price would be set for farmers' grain by raising gov- ernment price support loan rates so that producers them- selves would remain in control of reserves. Spokesmen for other farm or- ganizations indicated they were still studying the adminis- tration's world grain reserve plan and were not rushing to join NFU in its opposition to it. The American Farm Bureau Federation, however, has been opposed to government-con- trolled grain reserves on a na- tional or international basis, a spokesman said. "We probably are in opposition to it (the U.S.

proposal) for different reasons" than those indicaged by the National Farmers Union, he said. A spokesman for the National Grange said it leaned toward farmers keeping control of grain in any reserve and the National Farmers Or- ganization said it was in gener- al support of an international plan but had no immediate po- sition on the U.S. plan as pro- posed in London.
