(API With varying auccesa, managers took over the cameras and video playbacks at KNBC-T studios as about 720 technicians walked off the Job, part of a nationwide strike against NBC.

District Attorney Ira Reiner was forced to hold the same news conference twice Monday once for the non-union KNBC-TV crew and if for the rest of the media as union workers for the other networks threatened to boycott the conference if KNBC crews attended.

Besides picketing NBCs Burbank studios, NABET also sent pickets to pmnlhlft www rites, NBC Vice President Joy Rodrigues said the network has trained some of its replacement employees for up to six months and has enough workers to fill the necessary NABET posi tions. But Mondays KNBC news broadcasts were a bit rocky.

During an afternoon show, anchor John Beard introduced coverage of the peacefully picketing strikers and a videotape of a street melee appeared on the screen. At another point in the same broadcast, Channel 4s weather reporter, Fritz Coleman, called for graphics to illustrate upcoming weather, only to have the screen filled with a test pattern bearing the number two. "As you can see, it's '2' outside today, Coleman quipped. Coleman eventually tried to use a world globe, and an unsteady camera operator unsuccessfully chased it across the desk. Exclaimed Beard as the segment faded, "If you move that damn thing around anymore, well all be taking Dramamlne!" Several NBC programs and game shows, including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and the popular syndicated Wheel of Fortune, are broadcasting reruns for the rest of the summer NBC also has halted its regular NBC Studio Tours for the duration of the strike," Rodriguez said.

The 2-hour TV movie, "Bates Motel, which NBC will broadcast Sunday, is also a pilot for a possible series. This would not be a series about the victim of the Cort said in an interview.

Harris said the misperception followed the 1961 report of the UJS.

National Center for Health Statistics that there had been 2.4 million marriages and 1.2 million divorces dur-ingthe year. That statistic was accurate only if it is made clear that it applied only to recent years and it could not be projected into the future unless the trend continued unchanged, said the Census Bureau statistician, Arlene Saluter of the bureau's Marriage and Family branch. NEW YORK (AP) Only 2 percent of American marriages break up in any year, says pollster Louis Harris, seeking to discount the widely held notion that about half of marriages will end in divorce. The major finding of a poll released Sunday. Harris said, ris that the American family is surviving under enormous pressure," and only one marriage in eight will end in divorce.

A Census Bureau statistician agreed that the 50 percent figure for marriage breakups has been presented misleadingly by omitting important qualifications.
