today and 9 a.m. tomorrow. Fireworks Blasts Take 3 Lives were taken to three area hospitals. "As near es we can determine, there were four major explosions and then smaller ones," said Leo Vought, a state police technician. "One set off the other," he said.

"It was boom-boom boom-boom." George Easter, 23, who lives a half-mile from the site, which is in a sparsely populated, wooded area, said. "I heard the first explosion go off. But then more explosions started coming I didn't know what the hell it was. Then I figured it was the fireworks plant." Mrs. George Patrice, who lives half a block from the site, said, "There were colors ploded first, touching off blasts in other structures.

Only a few of the some 20 wood, concrete and corrugated metal buildings were left standing. Firemen moved in to hose down a propane gas tank on the blast site and a group of outlying wooden storage buildings that state Fire Marshal Joseph Sneider said contained aerial fireworks bombs. Two women employes were found on the ground 50 feet from the building in which they had been working. Fire officials revised downward an earlier death toll of six to three after the wreckage cooled sufficiently to permit investigation. The injured 1.

I was given a three-mouth renewal, and on Aug. 18 I gave notice tbut my apartment would be vacated by Aug. 31. I feel I'm entitled to a refund of the $185 security deposit, but haven't been able to convince the landlord. I left the apartment in better condition than I found it.

Mrs. C. Falls Church, Va. The landlord is writing to offer you a refund of half the security deposit. He says he wasn't able to rent the apartment during September because you gave only 13 days' notice of moving.

If you agree to his offer he'll send you a check for $92.50, he says. If you don't think this is fair, you could discuss it with your lawyer. Here at the Geraldine L. Thompson Medical Home, Wall Township, we find we could make very good use of a player piano. There are many days when such a piano would provide entertainment for our patients.

Do you know of anyone who would donate a player piano to us? We could pick it up. Our patients would be grateful. Mrs. E. Wall Township If Trouble Shooter learns of any offers, you will be advised.

My son got a trainee job on a temporary basis when he got out of the Army. Three months later he was accepted as a regular employe and was told he was entitled to a raise but that the company couldn't afford to give him one. In September the company said he couldn't get a raise because of the wage freeze. In December he got an additional $51 in his pay check and assumed this was his raise. Then, in February, the company's bookkeeper said the $51 belonged to someone else and that it would be taken out of his salary.

However, he did get a $7 weekly raise. Another raise of $13 came through when the company started deducting for the $51 overpayment. My point is that my son was getting trainee wages for nine months. He has a family to support and is hard up and may lose his apartment. Mrs.

M. Wall Township It isn't clear from your letter just what is going on or why. The state Department of Labor and Industry is sending you a wage claim form which you can give to your son. He can get advice if he gets in touch with William J. Clark, director of the state Division of Labor, Trenton.

Since your son doubtless doesn't want to provoke his employer unnecessarily, it might be best to consult with Mr. Clark before filing a claim. My eight-year-old son broke his arm and the bills total $250. X-rays were taken at a hospital room, and ithin 15 minutes the arm was set and a cast applied. The doctor's fee was $200, and Blue Shield paid $60.

The additional $50 is for the x-rays and visits to the doctor's office. The doctor should have told me his fees were not for Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class, and that his service is only for the very wealthy. With my son in extreme pain, should I have whipped out my Blue Shield handbook and held auction for a doctor whose services were more in line with my coverage? Mrs.

A. R. Oceanport A Blue Shield official says the plan will send an additional $40 to the doctor, and that you should file a claim for the x-ray charges. The plan official says the $200 charged by the doctor conforms to his usual and customary fees and doesn't exceed fees charged by other doctors in the area. Read the stories which appeared in the Asbury Park Press March 5 and March 12 to learn more about the gap between what doctors charge and what insurance companies pay.

Can you help? I have been writing since October for a mail order to send me prints of old fashioned steam engines. The company cashed my check. R. E. Brick Township Your prints now are on the way, according to the company.

Readers can write to Trouble Shooter, Asbury Park Press, Asbury Park, N.J. 07712. Names and addresses must be included but will not be used with letters selected for publication. Trouble Shooter cannot be responsible for valuable papers. Copies, not originals, should be submitted.

Legal and medical questions cannot be answered on an individual basis. Two months ago I sent $25.90 to a company which uses a Brooklyn post office box for an address. The company cashed my check but I haven't received the books I ordered. I wrote again to the company but didn't get a reply. Do I have any recourse? S.

Brick Township Your complaint has been sent to Sen. Harrison A. Williams, Sen. Clifford P. Case, and Rep.

James J. Howard. They may be able to suggest how consumers can more rapidly reach companies whose use of postal box numbers tends to stymie consumers with legitimate grievances. Mail order companies which fail to deliver merchandise may deliberately or inadvertently ignore consumers' letters of complaint. In the past consumers often have been unable to get the companies' telephone numbers or street addresses.

The result has been that such companies in effect hide behind their postal box numbers. Postal Regulation 261.23h permits a postmaster to disclose the address and telephone number of a box holder who uses the box to do business with the public. Trouble Shooter asked Jack T. Di Lorenzo, assistant general counsel for the Postal Service, Washington, and Daniel Kelson, senior regional counsel, New York City, to explain how the rule works. They say anyone seeking information about a box holder doing business with the public must go to the post office concerned or write to the postmaster.

A consumer must pay $1 for the information and explain why the address and phone number of a box holder is wanted. An explanation is needed so the postmaster can decide in cases of doubt if the box holder is using the box to do business with the public. The result in cases where consumers have legitimate complaints against companies operating in an unethical manner is that a barrier, even though slight, is erected between the company and the consumer. The consumer, already out of pocket after paying for undelivered merchandise, must write to a postmaster and also must pay to learn the actual location of a company in order to better press a claim. It also means that newpapers, radio and television stations, and other organizations that try to help consumers, are unable to telephone the companies unless they are prepared to lose time processing complaints and willing to pay $1 for each complaint wheer an address or telephone number is needed.

The postal regulation raises a barrier between company and consumer even where postal authorities are investigating complaints against the company. That's true in this instance as postal inspectors report they are investigating a number of complaints against the company named in your letter. The inspectors say the company sells books dealing with sexual topics and one reports the company does business under several names. In response to an earlier inquiry, Mr. Di Lorenzo said, "We are in the process of reviewing the Freedom of Information regulation in the postal service manual.

As a result of your letter, we will again very carefully review 261.23h to determine whether change in language may be necessary to carry out its intent." Yesterday, Mr. Di Lorenzo said a change has not yet been made. FOLLOW-UP to H. L. Brick Township: Your letter asking what students can do about consumer protection was answered here March 20.

Consumer education classes have been formed at Paramus Junior High School. Sixth-grade students are studying consumerism at three East Orange elementary schools Stockton, Elmwood, and Washington. For details, get in touch with the Center for Consumer Education Services, New Jersey Manpower Center, Edison, N.J. a George Hamilton, the country and western singer, is a good friend of mine. I can't find any dealer who handles his albums.

Can you help? Mrs. H. Brick Township Harmony House, Rte. 35, Eatontown, sells Hamilton's records. It's assumed you asked dealers nearer you.

IT) A judge yesterday reversed an earlier decision against an Easter week end rock music festival and gave organizers the green light to proceed with the three-day event. Superior Court Judge Jose Rivera stipulated, however, that no drugs were to be sold at the festival.

He also required organizers to post a $10,000 bond by tomorrow afternoon. The island's justice secretary had told the court he had evidence showing that hard drugs were being sold at the festival site, a small beachfront community 25 miles west of San Juan. The judge modified this initial ban on the festival after organizers appeared before him late yesterday. In New York, the state attorney general's office said it had received numerous complaints for the past week from young people or their parents saying they had sent in $149 for a festival package trip and never received tickets. A spokesman for Atty.

Gen. Louis Lefkowtiz said the matter was under investigatian to see if the young people "have been victimized." The package trip was advertised by WNEW-FM in New York, which said it also had received complaints but had been unable to reach the travel agency here which represented the promoters, Island Ventures. A spokesman for Media Communications, which prepared the radio ad, said it believed Island Ventures to be a legitimate outfit but "we understand they're overbooked. "Apparently," he said, "they didn't have the bookkeeping capacity to keep up with refunds." A spokesman for a Long Island travel agency, Island Travel, reported that because of the similarity of names she had received so many calls about the festival that "I'm nauseous." She said one call came from a group that had driven to New York from Detroit "and they didn't know where they were going or how." Project Sales Chief Named LACEY TOWNSHIP -James S. Ribner.

Edmondson denied the latter report, saying it was completely false.

As for the repudiation of the agreement Edmondson said he could not comment on the report because since receiving a cable Monday from Fischer taking the negotiations out of his hands, he has had no contact with Fischer and "since then I haven't been involved." "As far as I'm concerned," Edmondson said, "I hope the-match still comes off between Fischer and Spassky." Fischer declined to comment oti the reports.

Edmondson, head of the U.S. Chess Federation, who has been negotiating arrangements for Bobby Fischer's world championship match with Boris Spassky, said yesterday Fischer had informed him that he would conduct his own negotiations. Edmondson denied, however, that he expressed any opinion that Fischer may have changed his mind about meeting Spassky, the Russian world champion. A Belgrade newspaper reported earlier yesterday that Fischer had repudiated an agreement Edmondson reached for the players' share of the 24-game match to be played in Belgrad and Reykjavik, Iceland. The newspaper said the agreement would have given the winner of the match 72 per cent of the $138,000 purse, with the rest going to the loser.

The newspaper, the Daily Politika, also said its editor had been told by Edmondson Aid Program Biggest NEW YORK (B-The U.N.

For example, nobody has been able to determine why 93 per cent of all American males lose the cap of a tube of toothpaste in less than .03 hours; and this may be an instinct. Much the same may be said of the instinct that compels most bridge players to draw trumps as quickly as possible. West opens the deuce of spades, East puts up the ten and you win with the king. Perhaps your instinct is to draw trumps immediately but, if so, your instinct has played you false. It you lead a trump, an opponent will win and lead a space to force out the ace.

Now the opponents are in position to get a spade trick, two hearts and the ace of diamonds. These four tricks will defeat the contract. What can you do to avoid this sad fate? The trumps can wait. You must do something to avoid the loss of a spade trick. The simplest method is to set up dummy's diamonds.

At the second trick you must knock out the ace of diamonds. East returns a spade, and you win with the ace. ADS HIT HOME!
