Streaker gets Liz to laugh UB ANGELES (AP) A nude man, waving two fingers a peace symbol, streaked across the stageof the Academy Awards, giving television viewers a brief glimpse of the fleshy phenomenon. Ite streaker later identified himself as Robert Opel, a 33- year-old Hollywood advertising man. He said he sneaked backstage at the award ceremony by wearing a press badge. He said be stripped backstage and dashed out as a symbolic gesture in favor of nudity. He was not arrested.

Sophisticated actor David Niven, who was onstage and about to award the Oscar for best movie, appeared flustered by the exhibition and burst out laughing. "The audience laughed uproariously. Regaining his composure, Niven said, "Isn't it a laugh that the only laugh that man will get in his life wfll be by stripping off his clothes and showing his shortcomings." Actress Elizabeth Taylor, who came on stage just after the streaker, said, "That's a pretty hard act to follow." Later in her speech she burst into giggles and said, "I'm nervous. That really upset me. I think I'm jealous." Most members of the audience appeared amused at the display.

Best actor recipient Jack Lenunon, who left the stage just before the streaker arrived, said he had dreamed the night before that a streaker ad interrupted his award. But as it happened, be missed file streaker. "I was in the elevator," Lemmon told reporters. Streaker Opel, after donning a track suit, later told newsmen that he thought his sensational appearance at the awards would be "a hell of a way to launch a career as a comedian." He said the only item he wore during the streak was a leather wristband. TELEVISION PROGRAMS TV Radio News Newport, (R.I.)

The first passengers to walk up the gangway of the Sea Venture, the rescue ship, were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bray of Stonington who appeared to be in fine spirits. "They treated us very well," said Bray, a 69-year-old retired wage and salary administrator for Connecticut Light Power Co.

"There was plenty of scotch and bourbon," he added. Cunard officials in New York said the Brays were traveling with the Hartford Senior Citi- zens Club. The ship was without power and drifting southwest of Bermuda. Passengers were allowed to take one piece of luggage to the rescue ship. An estimated 200 people from i a Massachusetts, and another 200 from Rhode Island were among the 1,642 passengers aboard the disabled QE2.

Many were traveling with senior citizen groups. The Prospect, Conn. Senior Citizens Club had 29 members aboard. A spokesman for Travel Land in Bloomfieldsaidhe booked 192 persons, including 72 from Springfield and western Massachusetts. Among the Connecticut residents were 39 from the El- mwood Senior Center, 36 from the Bloomfield Senior Citizens' Club, 44 members of a Pratt Whitney plant dub, 40 from Wethersfield and Rocky Hill and another 12 from Torrington.

Some 40 passengers were City Hall gets members of the Springfield Golden Age Club. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Davidson of Bloomfield, members of the Bloomfield group, were undaunted by the experience. "It's our first cruise, but I'd sign up again," said Davidson.

Mrs. Fred Klett of Rocky Hill U.S. Capitol flag saidshe her husband were The new flag flying over City Hall this week isn't just any old flag. In fact, it was in high company one day last month. The flag, which arrived earlier this week from Sen.

Claiborne Pell, flew over the U. S. Capitol March 12. It was sent here with a letter from George M. White, ar- on their fourth cruise.

She had no complaints but because of the breakdown in ship plumbing, she felt like "spending the next six years in a bathtub." By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) The bead of ABC-TV says the way children's weekend morning TV shows now are rated should be replaced with an industrywide system to measure not only audience size and makeup, but also the effect of such programs and their commercials on young viewers. James E. Duffy made the proposal in an interview. He took a much stronger stand than in a recent speech in which he urged the industry only to "take a long, hard look at the possibility of eliminating children's audience ratings on the weekend, on a national basis." He was asked in the interview if he personally would like to see that type of rating abolished. "Sure," he replied.

"I would. Man sentenced in manslaughter NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) U.S. Navy CPO Raymond G. Newman, 22, assigned to the Navy submarine Billfish, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of first degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 10-20 years in jail.

Newman, charged in the Nov. 22, 1973 shooting death of Dominick Sestito HI, 20, of Ledyard in the parking lot of a Groton restaurant, earlier pleaded guilty to murder in the case. He also had pleaded guilty to first degree assault in the shooting and wounding of three other men. Superior Court Judge Angelo Santaniello, noting Newman's good record, permitted him to withdraw the plea to the murder charge and substitute the plea on the manslaughter charge. But you cant do it alone.

That's the whole point. This is such a competitive business and the stakes are so high that one network cant do it alone." The ratings employ two basic methods, according to a spokesman for the A.C. Nielsen ratings service. One is a device attached to TV sets in 1,200 homes. It records the channel to which the set is tuned.

The other method is a diary, kept by 2,400 households. The residents, for a fee, note in them who watched what and when. One-third of these diaries are collected weekly for evaluation, the spokesman said. Despite advances in the quality of children's programming, Duffy said, this ratings system isn't enough now. What's needed, he said, is a "broader- based study, a much larger sample, that would not only indicate popularity, but also would give (viewer) attitudes toward program and commercial content." He said the samplings should be "in-depth," made every four months to allow for a more thorough audience assessment, and include what he called "psychographics," or the kinds of reactions programs and commercials cause in viewers.

He said he'd like to hear if the Nielsen ratings service is interested in the idea "along the criteria we've laid out here." But for the time being, Duffy said, there could be a test study of the proposal, possibly lasting two years and financed either by the three networks and independent stations, or by the National Association of Broadcasters, which claims 531 television stations as members. He said he hasn't proposed it yet to officials at CBS, NBC or the NAB because he's been travelling on business and also is "waiting to see what kind of action the other two networks will take. "And if there isn't some in a short period of time, then I'm going to my management and see what kind of action we can go with from there." Both NBC and CBS were noncommittal when asked by a newsman if they supported Duffy's proposal to eliminate TV ratings for children's weekend programs and replace them with the system outlined by the ABC executive.
