His first film was "Guadalcanal Diary" ln 1943.

He was pulled out of the mail room at 20th Century-Fox Studios and cast as a scared VS. Marine. HLs next role was also In a war film, "A Wing and a Prayer. Other pictures followed: "Sands of Iwo Jima," "Battleground," 'The Dirty Dozen," "The Gallant Hours" uTwiUght'sLaatGleaming." But it was a non-m-itary role in "Sometimes a Great Notion" that brought him an Academy award nomination for best supporting actor in 1971. Jaeckel to now back fai uniform for the ABC comedy series, "At Ease," in which he plays Ma.

Hawkins, a brass-bound martinet who tries to keep the hucksters and goldb ricks inline. Hawkins is an old warrior who's distressed that he's assigned to a computer outfit "Wars should be fought with bombs, guns and bayonets, the way civilized man has always done," he says in the series. "It's a story of the peacetime army," Jaeckel said. The enlisted men are trying to con the officers and make them look like fools, which is the way it should be. Major Hawkins is spit and -polish and has a chest full of medals.

"He's the straight man," JaeckeL "He gets himself into situations which because of their absurdity become -comical; He's the foil. He's bested more often than not, but he has to win once in a while or he wouldn't be much of a "At which ABC hopes win take up some of the slack left by the retirement of "M-A-S-H," also stars Jimmy Walker as the fast-talking sergeant, David Naughton as his enterprising colleague, Jourdan Fremin as the beautiful WAC, Roger Bowen as the colonel, George Wyner as the company spy and Joshua Mostel and John Vargas as soldiers. "I'm sometimes asked why do I do a television series," said Jaeckel, who had roles in two other series. "To me, that's a stupid question. You can say that you enjoy eating or that you enjoy working.

But what an actor most en-Joys is a successful TV series. In my opinion it's a gamble worth taking. "I'm pleased that Aaron Spelling is one of the executive producers because the 'Spelling formula' can't be trifled with. It's extremely successful." Jaeckel, short and ruggedly built and looking 20 years younger than his 56 years, was Just back from vacation in Hawaii. "I like to go there a few times a he said.

ON-TV officials announced last week that the service will cease operations on April 30, leaving VEU and Movie Vision as the only survivors in the dwindling market for non-cable pay television here.

Another subscription service, Preview, was absorbed by VEU last year. The services began operations in late 1980 and early 1961 before cable television became available in Dallas and Fort Worth. Since then, cable service has been started in both cities. ON-TV made its decision to close after it suspended its all-night adult service recently and suffered an accompanying loss of subscribers.
