Grumbles about another new series By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) I hate to keep grumbling about new series, but CBS' new "Blue Knight" cop show tonight may prove the third reason to read a good book or start sleeping at 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday nights. The two other reasons are ABC's "Starsky and Hutch" cop series and NBC's "Petrocelli" lawyer series, which compete with the CBS offering. "The Blue Knight," starring George Kennedy as Bumper Morgan, a street-wise veteran cop, is based on the book of the same name by Joe Wambaugh, a fine writer and a former Los Angeles cop.

Wambaugh, billed as a script consultant for the CBS show, created what I consider a very good cop series, NBC's "Police Story," which later begat a spinoff Forrester," also on NBC. "Forrester," with which Wambaugh has no connection, according to NBC, is basically a less forceful version of the Bumper Morgan character, an old pro who thinks there's no substitute for pounding a beat on foot. Unfortunately, "The Blue Knight" comes on as little more than a carbon copy of "Joe Forrester," and not a good one at that. Like Joe, Bumper prefers to work alone, likes kids, has many street-level "snitches," or informants, to call on, hates those who prey on the weak or the poor and is not above roughing up lowlifes to get information that'll help him make the big arrest. When "The Blue Knight" first appeared on NBC two years ago as a four-part special starring William Holden, it was a tough, gritty, realistic program that really gave you an idea of a cop's life.

But tonight's version on CBS doesn't. It's a one-dimensional New York Stock Report NEW YORK (AP) The stock market added to Tuesday's broad gains with a moderate advance today. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, up 7.71 on Tuesday, was ahead another 1.18 at 845.48 by noon today'. Gainers held a 5-3 edge on losers at the New York Stock Exchange. Brokers noted that Tuesday's upswing had raised hopes for a yearend rally in the market.

But they said investors were showing some hesitation today over the chances for extension of the 1975 tax cuts into next year in the face of a disagreement between Congress and President Ford over the form such a measure should take. Franklin Mint was the most active issue on the Big Board, down 2 at A block changed hands at 25. The NYSE's composite index of all its listed common stocks rose .10 to 46.94. On the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was up .49 at 82.20. Sentenced to 30 days for drunk in public Ray Sellers, who gave his address only as the state of Arkansas, was sentenced to 30 days in the city jail Tuesday on a charge of being drunk in public.

effort involving a young, well- dressed, psychotic thief whose specialty is burglarizing hotel rooms of people who are attending conventions. The thief (Tony Geary) gives an indication of how sick he is when, during one burglary, he whips out a switchblade and cuts the head off a teddy bear lying on a bed. Bumper Morgan arrives during the subsequent police investigation, is shown the decapitated teddy bear, and remarks, "Whoever did this is no ordinary hotel creeper, that's for sure."

Boyle After Herr Humbugs stepped down from the witness stand during the UN impeachment move against Santa Claus, the prosecutor Rvel Whone rose. "As my next witness," he said and c'ull-link- ers nipe.s." A shock wave went through the entire delegation. The delegates knew that -Jinkersnipes was one of Santa's more loyal elves.

"Hut that Rvel Whone is an evil one. He is sneaky." walked to the lierifh and said, "I object. I object, will he a cle- I'ensu witness.

Rvel Whone can call anyone he wants and Jinkersnipes must lake the stand as a prosecution witness." With shaking legs, snipes walked hi the stand and was given i he oath. "Now," Rvel Whone sneered again. "I jusl have a few ques- I ions to ask you." ahead and ask them. Rvel Whone," said. "Santa is good ai.id kind and not mean and nasty like you." "I object, your honor." Rvel Whone said.

"This elf is here to answer quest ions and not to call me names." "Objection sustained," (he judge replied. "Jinkersnipes, you must behave yourself or I will hold you in contempt. Jusl answer Rvel Whone's ques- I ions." "As my next I call Jinkersnipes!" Rvel Whone gave a low, mean snicker as he said. "Thank you, your honor." He turned to Jinkersnipes and shouted. "How much did Santa pay you for working all year?" "Rlyes don't work for money," Jinkersnipes said.

"We do it because we love Santa, love Christmas, love boys and girls." "I object," Rvel Whone said as he turned to the judge. "I'lease instruct the witness to answer the questions and not to give opinions." "I'lease, Jinkersnipes," the judge said. "Answer (he question." "Yes sir," Jinkersnipes replied. "I wasn't paid any money." "Hmmmm." Rvel Whone muttered. "Now tell me how many hours a day you work." "Oh.

10 or 12 or more right before Christmas." Jinker- snipes said. "And without pay?" Rvel Whone said. "We already established that elves don't get paid money." the judge interrupted. "Now tell me," FJvel Whone asked Jinkersnipes. "Is it true (hat only elves are hired at the North Pole?" "Yes," Jinkersnipes said.

"Rxcept for the animals like reindeer, and Malox the Pen- quin mailman." "Does Santa only hire elves whose names begin with Rvel Whone asked. "No. it is only a coincidence," inkersnipes said. "Well tell me one elf he hired wit hout the "Certainly, several years ago we had an elf named Sidney," Jinkersnipes said. "Hut he left the North Pole, didn't he?" Rvel Whone asked.

"And probably because his name didn't begin with a "That is not true," Jinker- snipes said. "He left'to attend rabbinical school." "That's not important." Rvel Whone said. "Doesn't Santa make the elves live in a dormitory instead of providing them with private rooms?" "It's fun living in a dormitory." Jinkersnipes said. "The beds are big and warm and comfortable. We laugh and talk and have fun." "But you don't private rooms," Rvel Whone repeated.

"No we don't," s'aid snipes. "Now didn't Santa officiate' at the marriage of Jumpifr 1 1 Jack and Juanita?" Evel Whone asked. "Sure he did," Jinkersnipest, said. "But Santa can do because he is head of the North 1 11" 'ole. "But he doesn't have a rying license does he?" Evet Whone repeated.

"I never saw one," Jinker 1 snipes said. "But I am sur'e'-' Santa would not do anything that is illegal." "That is what we are trying I to determine," Evel said, 0 "Now tell me, Evel Whone asked. "Does San-" ta employ any other besides elves? jj Jinkersnipes said.jj "Santa and elves have always worked together. And humans couldn't do what elves 5 do. Why elves help Santa on Christmas eve.

Big people Jj couldn't do that. Santa's sled would be topheavy." "A nice excuse," Evel jj Whone said. "But I don't be- lieve Santa simply won't hire anyone but elves." "That's not true," Jinker- snipes said. "Please simply answer my question and do not give opin- ions," Evel Whone said. "Now tell me," he con- tinued.

"How long have you worked for Santa and how many vacations have you had?" "I worked for Santa for ump- teen years," Jinkersnipes said. "And every day is like a vaca- lion at the North Pole." "Pshaw, pshaw," said Evel Whone "Don't give opinions, ji How many vacations have you had. One, two, ten or none?" J' "Well, none," Jinkersnipes said. J. "No more questions," Evel Whone replied.

"Please step down." Jinkersnipes returned to the defense table and said to Juni- perperper, "How did we do?" "Some good, some bad Juniperperpersaid. "He is a tricky one, that Evel Whone." (More AP L..
