A heady mood of confidence swept through the Laborite ranks on the eve of the party's annual conference in this elegant old seaside resort. For the first time in more than a decade the party believes it has come up with a election-winning policy hammered out by its "ifi-year-old leader, Hugh Gait-skell. Simply stated, the Laboritcs demand that Prime Minister Mac millan get better terms for taking Britain into the six-nation Common Market or call off the deal. To this.

For the prime minister to do otherwise would represent a form of political suicide for the governing Conservative party. By law, Britain must elect a new House of Commons within the next two years, Mr Macmillan hopes to have this island kingdom safely in the Common Market before that deadline is reached.

That's exactly what Raymond B. Yerg, a retired printing firm executive here did. After becom ing an accomplished violinist, he tackled the formidable task of building violins as a hobby.

In the 20 years since he made his first "fiddle," as he affectionately calls a violin, he has become an expert. Stored in the closets of his home at 909 Jordan Rd. are a dozen violins, the products of countless hours of tedious work. Each is valued at more than $300. Became Dissatisfied It began when Mr.

Yerg, then living in Maplewood, bought a $450 violin made by Jean Lete, a 19th century French master. He became dissatisfied with its tone and decided to build a better one. For two years he studied works of the old masters, the types of woods used in violins, and acoustics. After initial setbacks, Mr. Yerg finished the violin and took it to New York experts for appraisal.

Their verdict: it was a remarkably fine instrument. Mr. Yerg still has the violin, though he considers later ones much finer. Making violins for a hobby is both "absorbing and relaxing." says Mr. Yerg.

"I lose myself entirely time doesn't mean a thing because I'm interested," he said. While planing and sanding, molding and measuring, Mr. Yerg says he is able to think about other things and solve everyday problems easily without stress. Each of Mr. Yerg's violins is completely hand-made.

There's not a nail, screw, or a peg in them; they are put together with special French shell glue made of rabbit skins. Mr. Yerg has no power saws, no lathe or drill press. His only power tool is a small hand grinder with a bit at the end of a flexible cable. All the rest of the work is done with special hand tools.

Building a violin is no job for haphazard craftsman. Almost every step is critical. The grain and density of wood, a sixteenth of an inch in wood thickness, even the cell structure and age of the wood all combine to deter mine the quality of an instrument. Mr. Yerg uses curly maple for most of a violin.

Close-grained spruce, from trees grown high in mountain regions, is used for the face sections. The older the wood the better. As wood ages, Mr. Yerg explained, its cell structure changes and it produces a finer tone. When a violin is finished, Mr.

Yerg puts 12 coats of water-thin varnish on it. Each coat takes two to three weeks to dry properly. "All the work put into making a violin is only a means to an end and vibrations are the end." he said. The vibrations, which govern the tone, are the result of how the violin is made and the materials in it, Mr. Yerg said.

Though his violins are valuable, Mr. Yerg doesn't make them for profit. "I've never sold one," he said, "but I've given three away." WOMAN NAMED TO YMCA BOARD ILARRIMAN, N.Y. () A century-old tradition in the Young Men's Christian Association was broken Saturday with the election of the first woman to the national board of the male-dominated organization. Miss Janice M.

Peyton of Warwick, R. a service representative for the New England Telephone Co. in Provi-dence, was chosen for a two-year term. Miss Peyton, 26, has been active in YMCA work for eight years. Wome.i have occupied positions of rank in the 111-year-old YMCA.

but Miss Peyton is the first on the top-level body. Urjied to Halt City Tie-Ups ATLANTIC CITY Traf- ic czars lull autnonty appear to be the only answer to city traffic congestion, the outgoing president of the American Transit Association said today. Frederick J. Johnson, a top executive in three city transit companies, said this seems to be the only way to mount an all-out attack on the problem. "We can't do the job with piece- meal parking restrictions, a piecemeal one-way street system, an attempt to move traffic well Witn-in one area of a community, only to let it back up in adjarent areas," he said in a speech prepared for the opening session of the association's 81st annual meeting.

Anticipates Critirism Mr. Johnson said the suggestion might not be well received in many cities. "But I have a hunch that many mayors and city councilmen would go for the idea because tliey realize this is the only way io accomplish the task, and it would get political pressure off their backs at the same time," he said. This pressure, Mr. Johnson said, usually comes from merchants or others who oppose blanket restrictions, especially on parking on commercial streets.

Yet, traffic congestion develops through chain reaction, and one car parked in a single lane can affect traffic for blocks or even mics, he said, adding, "this kind of restriction is practically no better than no restriction at all." Appeals Ruled Out Mr. Johnson emphasized that an official such as he proposes would have to be "a czar who will have full authority to do what he must do, and whose actions cannot be countermanded by other officials." Mr. Johnson is president of the Milwaukee Suburban Transport Corp. and the Louisville Transit and is chairman of the board of the Indianapolis Transit System Inc. Boih Mr.

Johnson and Robert C. Weaver, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, called on transit officials to work harder for passage of a bill to provide federal assistance to mass transit. SiiRgesU llth-Hour Appeal Although Mr. Johnson said hopes for passage this year are nt too bright, Mr. Weaver urged "a last-ditch, all-out effort to persuade the members of Congress to act on this bill before they go home." "Unfortunately," Mr.

Weaver said in his prepared speech, "We are now involved in situations where different modes of transportation rival rather than complement each other, and some are being favored to the exclus.on of others." The mass transportation bill provides both grants and loans, subject to strict planning requirements, he said. "If this mass transportation bill is passed, communities will have an opportunity, through the planning process, to weigh the relative advantages of each mode of transportation. And public agencies can then channel the resources available through tins program to develop the balanced system each community he said. Hawaii Governor hi Primary Haltle HONOLULU Republican Gov.

Kennedy and Ird Home expressed also their agreement on the "serious nature of developments in Cuba" and discussed methods of halting any further spread of communism in the Caribbean area. The President and the foreign secretary saw world problems eye-to-eye as far as a communique went in summarizing their talks at a White House luncheon. No Word on Shipping On a potential point of difference, the use of British and other free-world vessels to carry shipments to Cuba, the joint statement was blank.

Public Rec ords Are Not a Private Matter," while a group called the Teen-Age Democrats of Hudson County took the opposing view. Their signs read: "Some Government Records Are Confi dential." and "County Officials Si, Bell No." Michael Bell, tired but in good spirits, said an attorney would attempt to get a court order to day forcing County Clerk Frank Rodgers to make the figures available.

Mr. Rodgers was not in his of fice when the candidates came in Friday. The Rev. Mr. Bell has said he obtained Essex and Bergen county figures "in five minutes." Sleep on Floor The congressional candidate said he and the minister slept on the floor.

Mrs. Yadlowski, he said, spent the nights on a couch in the women's rest room. Michael Bell said sandwiches were being given to the three candidates through a half-inch space in the front door. The Episcopal minister said he held a private communion service yesterday with communion materials sent in to him from a Jersey City Episcopal church. The minister also said guards at the building had allowed coffee to be sent in to them.

"The people need to witness an example of a real fight against City Hall," the Rev. Mr. Bell said.

Neither the legation nor the radio gave the source of their reports. But there was no way to verify these claims.

The radio at San'a, controlled by the military regime, was almost the only source of information. It announced five more members of the royal family and its supporters were executed Saturday, bringing to 17 the total executions announced since the uprising last Wednesday. Hassan reported, however, the execution of 20 in a wave of "murderous terrorism," in addition to those slain on the day of the revolt, and said many others were "being held for execution, a few each day, to satisfy the blood lust of mad leaders."

Long Beach Shore Work Is Approved Press State House Bureau TRENTON The Bureau of Navigation has awarded a contract to the New England Dredge and Dock New Haven, for a beach fill project in Long Beach Township. James K. Rankin, chief engineer for the bureau, said the project calls for a continuous replacement of sand from the south boundary of Harvey Cedars 2,500 feet through the North Beach section of the township. The project is designed to replace beach sand lost in the March 6-7 Atlantic storm. The township has received an advance payment of $98,000 from the Office of Emergency Planning in Washington to help restore its beachfront.

The OEP has approved an additional $371,000 in disaster aid funds for the township. Newark Teacher Found Strangled NEWARK W) A 27-year-old school teacher was found strangled yesterday shortly after a policeman discovered her boy friend wandering down an Irvington street, his wrists slashed, police said. Miss Ann P. Micchelli was found dead in a car parked in a rented garage. Her body was lying on the back seat.

Police said the car was owned i by Edwin Siegle, a liquor store manager who had been dating Miss Micchelli. I Siegle was found a short dis-i tance from the garage, which was near the Irvington line. Siegle was put in Martland Medical Center in good condition and placed under guard, police said. They said he apparently used a razor to cut his wrists. Police said he was unable to answer questions yesterday.

WASHINGTON iffi Secretary of State Dean Rusk ruled out last night any possibility of a U.S.-Soviet deal to end Russian intervention in Cuba for Western concessions on Berlin or on Ameri-can bases abroad. "You cannot support freedom in one place by surrendering freedom in another," Mr. Rusk said in a prerecorded television interview. "In any event, we have special commitments here in this hemis- phere under our hemisphere charters, and we cannot connect ki negotiations or in trades the problem of Cuba with the defense of freedom in other places." Speculate on Deal His remarks were made in response to a question about some possible U.S.-Soviet deal. There has been speculation in congressional and diplomatic quarters here and in New York that the Soviet government might try to use its position in Cuba to pry U.S.

concessions on West Berlin. Mr. Rusk made also what Await Word From State On Bridge POINT PLEASANT The Army Corps of Engineers still has not set a date for a hearing on the state Highway Department's plan to build a 45-foot-high bridge with a fixed span to replace the Loveland Town Bridge here. An Army spokesman said the corps has yet to receive the additional information on the plan it requested from the state. Until it is received and evaluated, he said, the hearing cannot be scheduled.

The state must seek approval from the corps because the Army has jurisdiction over the Mana-squan-Bay Head Canal, which the bridge would span. Must Hold Hearing The corps has said it would not pass on the plan until local residents and officials are heard at the public meeting. The corps will issue a notice 30 days before the hearing date. The hearing will be held somewhere in this area, officials said. The state's plan is expected to evoke loud protests from officials and boatmen here.

They back a plan for a 30-foot-high drawbridge to replace the Loveland bridge, built in 1927. Boatmen claim a fixed span less than 60 feet high would close the intracoastal waterway to large sailing yachts. Some say this would hurt the boat-building industry in the area. They say a moveable-s pan bridge with 30 feet of clearance would not have to open too often and therefore would not create traffic jams on land. Tunnel Proposed but Rejected In July, Police Chief William H.

Beecroft suggested the state investigate the feasibility of building a four-lane tunnel under the canal instead of a new bridge. But last month a state official said engineers already considered a tunnel and discarded the idea as impractical. The state has allocated $2 million for the new bridge. A tunnel would cost considerably more. Nevertheless, Chief Beecroft said he will again suggest the proposal at the Army's public hearing.

He said the state might be able to get matching federal fund for the tunnel if it also were designated an air raid shelter. The state decided to replace the Loveland Town Bridge after a section collapsed during the March 6-7 storm. No one was injured but the bridge was out of service until mid-May. yet been found and that the pene of this hemisphere by Castro communism is something which cannot be accepted in the hemisphere and by the United States." Rules Out Invasion But the secretary made clear his belief that invasion or other drastic military action is not the answer. "It is clear," Mr.

Rusk said. "that the power the United States is such that you could put armed forces ashore in Cuba, but that means a lot of casualties and it means a lot of Cuban casulaties it means bloodshed. And if we could find an answer without that, we should try to do so." When the question was suggested that the United States was losing presige because of a failure to crush communism in Cuba, Mr. Rusk said he thinks that is really a question of solidarity among the nations of the western hemisphere and that "general world opinion is much less interested in Cuba than we are. Tomorrow Mr.

Rusk will meet with foreign ministers or other top representatives of 19 other western hemisphere countries to talk about possible future moves on Cuba. Mr. Rusk said the meeting will be informal and will not make decisions but that from preliminary soundings in New York last week he is certain "it will be a very profitable and worthwhile meeting." Mr. Rusk refused to talk about what if any active support the United States is giving to anti-Castro Cubans inside Cuba and whether it is supplying weapons or other resources. Cuba Values U.S.

Warning As 'Rubbish9 HAVANA iP Cuba declared yesterday it has no aggressive designs and that a U.S. congressional warning against a Cuban military offensive has "the value of paper in the rubbish heap of history." The declaration was published in Cuban newspapers, which said it was drawn up at an extraordinary session of the nation's Council of Ministers Saturday. Denying Cuban aggressive intentions, the declaration said "it is the imperialist United States government which is putting in grave danger the safety of Cuba, of the hemisphere and of the world." It said U.S. policy toward Cuba has been "muddy" and could not have been more damaging to U.S. prestige.

The declaration accused the United States of: Using the Guantanamo Naval Base as a "lair for spies, provocateurs, terrorists, counterrevolutionaries and fugitives from Cuba justice." Preparing a conference of hemisphere foreign ministers in Washington as a "frank conspiracy against our country." Ignoring that "a new armed aggression against our country would unleash a contest of catastrophic results."
