And certainly she looks about as much the weathered sailor of the seven seas as Marlene Dietrich.

I Yet Electa Johnson has spent her 33 years of marriage before the mast, has sailed about 500,000 nautical miles, or the equivalent of the distance around the globe 20 times. That's more miles in the log than any other woman has recorded, said her husband, Capt. Irving Johnson, 60 years old, of Old Hadley, Mass. And there are more years at sea ahead for the pair. The saga of sail for Mrs.

Johnson, 56, born in Rochester, N.Y., began when she was a slip of a girl traveling in France and decided to return home with a student group. Her husband-to-be was sailing the group back to the States. Love took over the helm, as it were, and after their marriage the two wandered the world, especially exploring the South Pacific islands where steamships did not go.

On each trip about 20 young persons 16 men aged 17 to 25 and four girls "a little older because we weren't running a matrimonial along as crew and paying students. They wanted to see the world and still study via accredited correspondence schools. Each trip, of about 40,000 miles, took 18 months, and the complement included Mrs. Johnson doubling as sailor and chaperone, plus a doctor and fulltime cook.

The tale of one of the Johnsons' voyages will be the subject of an hour-long television color special, "The Voyage of the Brigantine Yankee," on KMOX-TV at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow. The Johnsons also have made 10 Atlantic crossings, sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, gone up the Nile before the Aswan dam was started and traveled the inland waterways of Europe. THEIR TWO SONS made several trips with them, but both are landlubbers Robert, 27, doing graduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Arthur, 30, with CARE in India. The Johnsons have given up the student voyages, sold their brigantine (since shipwrecked in the Cook islands to which it so often sailed), and acquired a sleek blue and white steel ketch, 50 feet long and another Yankee.

It is tied up at Malta. On April 1 the Johnsons will start from Malta on another trip through Europe's waterways for a long summer. The ketch is designed to sail shallow or deep waters, and Capt. Johnson said that it handles so easily "all I need is a crew of one she weighs 117 He referred to Mrs. Johnson, whom he calls "Exy," an attractive woman with gray-brown hair and only a slight sun and wind tan.

Next Mon Lf -I OPENING FRIDAY FEBRUARY 18 TONIGHT .1 i -'T SEATS Called Powerful Civic Force "A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION is a very powerful force. When it speaks, city officials and politicians sit up and listen," the community relations consultant to the city's Department of Public Safety said yesterday. Albert J. Nerviani will offer his services to any group wishing to set up such an organization. He cited Mrs.

Walter G. Klosterman's Oak Hill Neighborhood Association as a good example. "We like to get women involved. Often the leader is a woman they make great heads, perhaps because they have more time," he said. "Next, we find out whether we can generate general interest in improving that area.

We get in touch with the community's natural leaders pastors, school principals and teachers, as well as with local business men. "AT THE GROUP'S SECOND MEETING, I tell members what they can and cannot do, and what the city can and cannot do to help. For instance, many people don't realize that the city does not clean alleys. I tell them of minimum zoning standards. I help them put their complaints in written form.

"Next, we organize a committee to become experts on local zoning. I supply a map with the zones colored according to separate categories, showing legal use. I warn the committee to watch what new neighbors do with their houses. Do curtains go up in the basement? That may mean a separate family living there, or it may mean just a rumpus room." With another committee, Mr. Nerviani analyzes traffic conditions.

"We form sanitation committees to ride herd on alleys to keep them clean," Mr. Nerviani continued. "These committees have close contact with the district police sanitation officer. If he knows they are calling from a certain organization with a bona fide complaint, he will respond quickly." At a third meeting, steering committees are set up, as well as bylaws and a constitution. Officers are also elected.

Word of the new organization is spread throughout the area. The new officers are put on the "zoning alert" mailing list which tells of changes in zoning ordinances, "After that it's up to them," Mr. Nerviani said. "But I'm always here to help. All they have to do is call me at MAin 1-5560."
