"I wonder if Duke Wayne is up for anything," added saying: "Probably not, with all them leftwingers the whole of TV." Well, it was a good night for Archie anyway, and for "All In the Family" as the television academy pointedly honored this controversial midseason CBS- TV entry' which focuses uproariously on a middle class husband-father who is full of opinions about liberals, hippies, Jews, a i Negroes, protesting students and others--and yet is somehow curiously human, and even likeable. In addition to being chosen by tiie academy earlier in the weekend as video's outstanding- new show, "All In the Family," which was put on by new CBS- TV President Bob Wood after being rejected elsewhere for three years, was also named television's best comedy series. Furthermore, Jean Stapleton, who is pure gold as Archie's long suffering, not too-bright longsuffering, not-too-bright but selected as the best leading lady in a comedy series, and anyone who has watched her perform can only concur. As for the Emmy show, Arcliie was right, of course.

It Is -very dumb every year in several particular, ways: It gives out far too many awards, most o'f them trivial, so that hardly any can be remembered half an hour later. And It either overlooks truly significant video achievements, or demeans the ones it recognizes by lumping them indiscriminately with, say, inconsequential little episodes of unimportant series. These faults were glaringly evident again Sunday night, and there were the usual technical mishaps of all television awards shows. And the news privies (announced earlier) were given little prominence in this main ceremony. And video didn't even think enough of its Emmy HAL HOLBROOK holds his Emmy for thesesfS wi a Dramatic Series for his performance in "The benator.

Very Dramatic Teri Keane of "The Edge of Night" on the CBS Television Network has appeared in more than 100-dramatic roles on radio and television. Bortal By HELEN BOTTEL Dear Helen: My friend, a young 60, lost her husband two months ago. She is lonely and unsettled. My husband and I had her as a house guest for a while but she wanted to move into an apartment, i was fine except that another friend, a very domineering spinster has decided should not be alone. This second woman will soon retire from an executive Her income will drop, therefore she's looking for cheap rent.

She has never: been 'a housekeeper or a cook, is the type to leave a trail of cigarette ashes, clothes, coffee cups and cocktail glasses behind her. In'other words, she is sloppy, whereas my widowed friend is meticulous, a great cook and a real hornemaker. You can guess who will do most of the work, while being bossed to distraction. Also she'll assume the greater financial burden, as she is well-off. Now you'd thirik the widow could see this combination won't work, but she is easily swayed.

She sees the spinier as "salvation" someone who will take over, for she was always very dependent on her husband. And she has this self-effacing hero worship of career women, so she's ripe for browbeating. Once moved in, "Miss Bossy" won't be eradicated without more gumption than "Mrs. Softy" has. How can we hold the decision off until our friend learns to stand alone? CONCERNED Dear Con: Why not suggest a long cruise or a European tour? Several months on her own should convince your friend that she isn't limited to "bossy spinsters" the rest of her life.

H. Dear Helen: My 17-year-old daughter lies, then accuses me of spying on her. How could I spy when she has her room so boobytrapped that I'm almost afraid to walk in the door? I never know what might jump out at me from a drawer, or go off with a bang when I open a box (If I ever did, that is). She runs with a rowdy crowd of girls who have been sent The Lighter Inalienable Right To Be Tapped By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPlj-In the continuing debate over electronic surveillance, two statements have impressed me as particularly fraught. I am not.certain what, they arc fraught with, however.

You will have to be your own judge of that. "I do not care if somebody taps my phone," Rep. John E. Hunt, said fraughtingly. "If one has nothing to hide then certainly one does not care." And Mayor Sam Yorty of Los Angeles, who probably has more fraughted utterances to his credit than any other municipal executive in America, said: "I like the FBI.

They can tap my telephone anytime they want to." Half-Hearted Gesture Well, too, like the FBI, and I have nothing to hide. But merely signifying a willingness to have your phone tapped, or inviting the FBI to tap your phone anytime it is in the mood, strikes me as a halfhearted gesture at best. If you really want to take a strong stand on this issue, you should demand that your phone be tapped. It is my feeling that every citizen has an inalienable right to have his phone tapped and that our founding fathers would have written that provision into the Constitution if they had had telephones in those days. "Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the right of a citizen to have his telephone tapped without regard to race, creed or status," the First Amendment might have read.

A Justice Department official to whom I applied for a wiretap gave me the brushoff, however. That's What They Always Say "The FBI simply does not have the equipment or manpower to tap the phones of every Sam, Dick or John in the country, he said. Oh, sure. That's what they always say when you propose doing something for the common man. The government can afford wiretaps for the underworld, the underground, and other elements of the power elite.

But when the little guy asks to have his phone lapped, he's told it's too expensive. It's (he same argument that is raised against expanded health care for low income groups. I say they are selling America short. Surely the richest country in the world--a nation that can send a man to the moon and a ping pong team to China--can afford annual FBI checkups for us ail. home after curfew many times.

She saves lunch money to buy beer on weekends I've heard her plans on the telephone. She was picked up by the police for possession of alcoholic beverages and, of course, she cried and denied, so got off with a warning, but I know she drinks to excess. I've tried to keep this from lier father. I've covered up for her but now I'm sick inside, for she won't confide in calls me dirty names and; if I try to help her, gets hysterical, then won't speak for days. The last straw was when a highway man I know asked me, "How's your daughter, she must be stiff and sore?" He was shocked to learn I knew nothing of the accident.

Seems she and another girl had rolled a pickup truck into a ravine, and the road crew pulled them out. She told me she was babysitting! Is this all my fault for overprotecting and lying for her? I was married quite disastrously very young, and had my family before I was 18. My husband and I have separated several times, are now together but not happy.

"The Andersonville Trial," chosen as the year's outstanding single program and also honored for its script, was about a Civil War prison camp commandant accused of mass among inmates, and, in clearly contemporary terms, individual moral responsibility by persons acting under orders. The play also got non-commercial, video's "Hollywood television Theatre" pff to a distinguished start and immediate prominence. "The Senator," regrettably canceled, presented Hal Holbrook as-an idealistic congressman, and was honored as best dramatic series, as well as being cited for its writing, directing and the performance of its star. of course, is otherwise--and most widely-for classic one-man stage show Mark Twain.

George e. Scott meanwhile, continued Sunday night his remarkable dominance Of 1971 acting awards. The Motion chose him as its top male Oscar winner for his performance in "Patton," despite his putdown of its awards as a popularity contest. In the Emmy ceremony, he was named best actor in a one-shot role for his performance in Arthur Miller's "The Price" on NBC-TV. Through his stand-in acceptor, Jack Cassidy, Scott welcomc'ti this honor, apparently because, In this case, he was chosen strictly by his peers.
