FROM SOUCY'S 4 Where the Quality remains the same at lower prices. Dona Clarifying Downfall Of The Las Vegas Show' By BOB THOMAS LAS VEGAS, Neb. (AP) "At least I set a record. I'm the first man in history to sink an entire network." That was rueful humor of Bill Dana as he discussed the demise of "The Las Vegas Show," which he headed for 26 programs.

The two-hour nightly variety show came to an end last week when the United Network folded operations for lack of cash. Network Proposes "The Las Vegas Show" was the first attraction of a proposed fourth network headed by former ABC boss Oliver Treyz. It turned out to be the last attraction as well. "This appears to be the definite case of 'the operation was a success, but the patient died'," said'Dana in a post-mortem interview. "I can only ascribe the failure of the enterprise to the consummate naivete on the part of the backers.

The whole thing went against all principles of sound fiscal policy. Even if you open a candy store, you should have enough capitalization to last more than three or four weeks." United Network folded after a month of operation, and its passing was lamented by those who welcomed its promise as competition to the monolithic programming the Big Three Dana feels the failure could lave been avoided. "If they had blown the whistle earlier, I think the whole opera- lion could have been saved," said the comedian whose portrayal of Jose Jiminez has overshadowed his other accomplishments as writer-- the Steve Allen show--and producer--the Milton Belie show. Audience Responds He argued that the Las Vegas show was perfectly sound on the basis of cost-per-thousand--a Madison Avenue term reflecting the ratio of production charges vs. the audience delivered.

Audience surveys, said Dana, showed that the program was delivering an audience of 000, a respectable figure considering its estimated $180,000 weekly cost, not including telephone line charges. "The backers made the mistake of beginning the show in the last quarter of the advertising budget cycle, when little new outlay Is being made," he said. "Even so, we were beginning to pick up. After the third week, we were getting sponsorship from Colgate, General Foods and General Mills. And just a day before the cancellation, the mighty J.

Walter Thompson was coming in." But, said Dana, United Network's "tremendous under-capl- talization" could not sustain the continuing costs. Dining Out in Moscow Educational Experience By FRED M. HECHINGER (C) 1967 N.Y. Times News MOSCOW Dining out In Moscow can be a truly educational experience. The cuisine may lag considerably behind Paris, but there is always superb caviar, fine bread, a good sturgeon in aspic disconcertingly labeled sturgeon jelly, a very interesting sturgeon Moscow style in cream sauce and, of course, Moscow borscht made with meat stock.

With good, inexpensive Russian champagne, vodka and brandy who is to complain about the bad beer? But the high point is not the food. It is the togetherness. No chair is permited to go unused. Impromptu dinner combinati are determined not. by diners but by the restaurant staffs.

A visibly loving young couple is just as likely to be thrown together with a grouchy, middle-aged team of man and wife. Enterprising waitresses frequently reward single a diners with the company of single young women whose intentions may or may not be strictly honorable. On a recent evening, an American seated himself with three convivial Muscovite men. Almost at once they tried to draw the newcomer into conversation, but the American understood no Russian. Not unlike Americans confronted with non-English speaking foreigners, the Russians slowed down the pace and redoubled the thus loping to let sound break the anguage barrier.

Suddenly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, the oldest of the trio raised his vodka and, a fine rendition of the old Yiddish wish for good health, boomed "Sei gesund." And the second Russian understood and responded in. kind, but the third Russian looked baffled. To him the toastmaster turned with a pitying shrug. "Is goy," he said. The goy, or Gen 111 turned out to be an engineer who, with the aid of some Yiddish and German interpretation, confessed that 15 years ago he had flunked German in school, adding with satisfaction that he now was getting a better salary than the teacher who" flunked him.

To demonstrate a although his linguistic experience in school had not left a trace of conversational usefulness, all had not.been in vain, he proceeded to recite an admirable collection of lyric a poems. The favorite was "The Lorelei," and its opening line in which the poet deplored his inability to determine the cause of his sadness inspired howls of laughter. When the unplanned dinner party broke up, there were handshakes all around. One of the Russians now was searching for a fitting farewell. His eyes lit up when on the right word.

"Freundschaft," he said, In what seemed to be the most nonpolitical call for friendship.
