"They should be allowed to stay young as long as they can." Actress Elizabeth Taylor came in second on his list. "She should brush her hair and get rid of that baby blue eyeshadow which she lays on like a layer of paint," Black-well said of Miss Taylor, wife of Sen. John Warner, "I don't know of one movie star who has- worse taste. No one has made the list so often." Dubbed as "recycled spaghetti" TV actress Suzanne Somen took third place. Actress Bo Derek, star of the movie "10," fell from first place on Blackwell's 1979 list to fourth in 1980.

Blackwell said Miss Derek looked like "a butterfly wearing her cocoon." One surprising choice for the list was Princess Grace of Monaco, who in 1960 made Blackwell's best dressed list. The former Grace Kelly was No. 9 on his 1980 worst list. Blackwell no longer does a best-dressed list but does name several "fabulous fashion independents" every year. That list is led by actress Sophia Loren, he said.

Blackwell wore a subdued plaid two-piece suit with a blue shirt and maroon tie as he made his announcement at his home in Hancock Park. Others on his 1980 worst dressed list were: Charlene Tilton of the "Dallas" TV series, "a pinup for Fredericks' of Hollywood." Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, "Cinderella after midnight." Actress-singer Susan Anton, "an ad for a swap meet." Pro golfer Nancy Lopez, "a swinging fashion tragedy." Singer Marie Osmond, "Someone should unplug this Christmas Tree." Blackwell praised Nancy Reagan, wife of the president-elect, as "one of the most beautifully groomed women feminine, female perfection." Ox l2J Associated Press Circu Judge Thomas M. Coker Jr. shows media the .357 Magnnm he carried into his court after a defendant went berserk yesterday. Si I 4 ft The legendary singing voice of Mabel Mercer was on display for two hours when the Whitney Museum in New York turned its fourth floor into a cabaret in her honor.

A letter from Frank Sinatra, read at the festivities Monday night by singer Sylvia Syms before she sang "Remind Me," called Miss Mercer "the best music teacher in the world." Sinatra added, "I am the luckiest of all because I learned the most of all." Listeners, dressed formally, paid $150 each to huddle at tiny tables and listen to specialists in the cabaret art sing songs seldom heard outside night clubs. The evening benefitted the museum and was also a belated celebration of Miss Mercer's 80th birthday, as a lavish St. Regis Hotel party had previously honored her 75th birthday. She actually will turn 81 on Feb. 3.

Miss Mercer led all the performers and band on the small stage as the evening ended in singing "S' Wonderful." Princess to wed Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg, one of several women that British gossip columnists have speculated Prince Charles would marry, is going to wed a West German count instead, the London Daily Mail reported yesterday. The newspaper predicted an official announcement in March that Marie-Astrid will wed Count Georg von Eltz. Reports that Prince Charles, a Protestant, might marry the Catholic daughter of the reigning grand duke of Luxembourg stirred up a fuss in the British Parliament and loud opposition from militant Protestants in Northern Ireland last July. After a two-day flap, Buckingham Palace announced that Charles scarcely knew the woman and had no intention of marrying her. Divorce suit filed Actress Doris Day and her fourth hus band, Barry Comden, have filed for di vorce in Los Angeles Superior Court.

In the court papers filed Monday, the couple cited irreconcilable differences and stated they required no legal assistance in dividing community property. The 56-year-old actress married Com den, a 45-year-old businessman, on April 16, 1976. They separated on Aug. 25, 1979. Miss Day's third husband, producer Marty Melcher, died in 1968.

Weather Sho.rM sovrv 30 30 io r-1 Wrong brew Authorities in Franklin, Term, told a Williamson County man he should have tried brewing gasohol when he confessed making moonshine to cover gasoline bills. Williamson County Deputy Mark Lncas said Monday that George Tomlin is charged with operating an illegal moonshine whiskey still and repossessing untaxed whiskey. "He said he needed the extra money buy gas," Lucas said. "We told him he ought to be making gasohol." The Associated Press Tides Water users fined NEWARK Water customers of the state's largest city have been fined more than $90,000 since November as a result of state-mandated efforts to control water usage. A total of $93,760.30 in fines has been levied against 197 commercial, industrial and residential users since Nov.

17, said Bernard Moore, a spokesman for Mayor Kenneth Gibson. Only $8,826.90 of those fines have been collected, said Moore. The fines are in response to Gov. Byrne's order last September that commercial water customers cut their usage by 25 percent and residential users limit themselves to 50 gallons of water per day. Drought emergency LAMBERTVILLE With less than two days worth of water left, the city was to try again today to complete a water supply hookup with the Delaware and Raritan Canal.

Mayor Ronald Durburow declared a drought emergency yesterday in this Hunterdon County community. State authorities said water supplies could be brought in by State Police and Civil Defense personnel if the connection is not completed in time. One of the two 50-million gallon reservoirs is dry and the other is close to it. A pipeline was installed Friday from the Delaware and Raritan Canal to the Lambertville Water Co. reservoirs near Route 518 in West Amwell Township, but it froze and broke Sunday night.

Too much hooting NEWARK For a week, the pair of large plaster owls perched on a federal judge's bench turned plenty of heads. Two Trenton-area companies, Atlantic Mold Corp. and Castle Art, were arguing over whether Castle Art had deliberately copied its competitor's product U.S. District Judge Clarkson Fisher heard the two parties debate during a week-long trial whether the owls were different, or whether Castle Art deliberately copied their version. The judge hadn't Issued an opinion, but Atlantic Mold seemed to become a bit too friendly for his taste.

Atlantic Mold sent a letter offering to let the judge keep the plaster owls. "They are good reminders of an interesting case, where the defendants played Innocent but blew it," the letter said. "After the suit was initiated they changed our original owl only around the eyes and ears." Whether or not the judge gave a hoot for the owls, it was case closed. He declared a mistrial yesterday because of the letter. Flights resume NEWARK For the first time in two years, helicopters resumed flights yesterday between Newark International Airport and LaGuardia, Kennedy and East 34th Street in New York.

Service ended in 1979 after an accident at the Newark airport killed three people. Two years earlier, five people died in a helicopter accident on the Pan Am building. Reed Phillips, president of New York Helicopter of Garden City, N.Y., said no stops are planned at the Pan Am building. Six helicopters will department from Newark from about 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

on weekdays and during afternoons and early evenings on weekends. The one-way charge from Newark to either New York airport is $49.50. The 10-minute trip from Newark to 34th street is $44. The Nation Firing challenged MIAMI Former stewardess Caro-lanne Ray says she shouldn't be fired simply because another cabin attendant claimed she took a drink at Havana's Jose Marti Airport after their Eastern Airlines flight was hijacked to Cuba. Mrs.

Ray said she didn't even accept the drink, ordered for her by a passenger as everyone relaxed at an airport lounge, but pushed it aside and got an orange soda. The stewardess, who had been with Eastern four years before the August hijacking, was the subject of a closed arbitration hearing yesterday. After the hearing ended late last evening, Mrs. Ray's attorney, Alan Greenfield, said no decision had been reached and that It might be as long as two months before the federal mediator resolves the case. Settlement reached NEW YORK Frank Sturgis, one of five men involved in the 1972 Watergate break-in at the Democratic Party's Washington headquarters, yesterday accepted a $2,500 settlement in a $15 million wrongful-arrest suit.

Sturgis filed the suit in U.S. District Court after his arrest on Oct. 31, 1977, iwhen he arrived at the Manhattan apartment of Marita Lorenz. Associated Press Actress Doris Day and her fourth husband, Barry Comden, shown together in 1976 file photo, have filed for divorce in Los Angeles. A second marriage to musician George Weidler lasted three years and ended in divorce in 1949.

Her first marriage in 1941 to musician Al Jorden, with whom she had a son, Terry, ended in divorce in 1943. Worst-dressed' list Described as "looking like a Halloween trick without the treat" 15-year-old actress Brooke Shields was named yesterday as the worst-dressed woman of 1980 by fashion designer Mr. Blackwell. For the 21st year, the acerbic designer presented his list of the worst-dressed women of the year, saying all 10 of his selections seemed to "care less" about how they look. "She's awfully young to be putting herself up as a sex image and I think her mother should be totally condemned for this," Blackwell said of the teen-age actress, star of "Pretty Baby," "Blue Lagoon" and ads for Calvin Klein jeans.

Her wardrobe is too adult', said Blackwell. NATION At WEAIH SfVlCf 8 a.m. 20 9 a.m. 22 10 a.m. 25 11 a.m.

Kennedy.

Sturgis, a former CIA agent, testified that he recruited Miss Lorenz to work for the CIA in 1959 while she was living in 5 chained BERKELEY, Calif. Five people, three of them disabled, chained themselves to rocks and trees along the Stanislaus River yesterday and vowed to stay until President Carter acts to save a popular rafting spot from being "drowned" by the New Melones Dam, a spokesman for the group said. "The people are safely established in chains in their hiding place," said Dennis Fantin, spokesman for the Berkeley-based Stanislaus Wilderness Access Coalition. Jerry King, spokesman for the federal Water and Power Resources Service, said the five were In no Immediate dan- ger because water was being released from the dam to fill an irrigation reservoir downstream. He added there were no immediate plans to send in search teams.

Mental state told CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. Marine Pfc. Robert Garwood never agreed with his North Vietnamese captors ideologically and was not motivated by "anything but living another 30 seconds," while their prisoner, a defense psychiatrist testified yesterday. Dr. Robert Rollins of Raleigh also said that Garwood became depressed and near suicide after returning from Vietnam to face charges of desertion and collaboration with the enemy.

He told a jury of five Marine officers that he became concered over Garwood's mental state during an examination in March 1980. "My main concern was his state of mind and how he was coping with the pressure. I was afraid he was going to The World Journalist missing SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador A free-lance Journalist from Bogota, N.J., has been missing nine days in violence-torn El Salvador, and Salvadoran authorities have been asked to investigate, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy reported. The spokesman said the missing American was John J.

Sullivan, 26, who disappeared Dec. 29, a day after checking in at the Sheraton Hotel in San Salvador. A hotel source said the Sheraton notified the embassy, and an embassy official searched Sullivan's room and found his clothes, typewriter and photographic equipment still there. The embassy spokesman said Sullivan's relatives have been notified of his disappearance in this tiny Central can country, where an estimated 9,500 people were killed in political warfare between the extreme leftists and rightists last year. Demand dropped ISLAMABAD, Pakistan The Soviet Union is no longer insisting that Iran and Pakistan recognize the Soviet-installed regime in Afghanistan as a condition for normalization talks between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Western diplomatic sources said yesterday.

"This was a very Important concession from the Soviet point of view," said one West European diplomat here. But other observers said that if the Moslem governments of Iran and Pakistan entered talks it would mean recognition of the Afghan Marxist government. Iran and Pakistan have refused to recognize the Afghan regime of President tlaorak Karmal. installed after an mated 85,000 Soviet soldiers entered kill himself," said Rollins, fense witness in Garwood's Rollins said Garwood, most 14 years in Vietnam ing to the United States, devastated by his torture war camps the second de-court-martial, who spent al-before return-was mentally in prisoner of Sketches of suspect BUFFALO, N.Y. A third set of composite sketches of a suspected white assailant in the killings of black males in the Buffalo area was released yesterday by the Erie County district attorney's office.

District Attorney Edward Cosgrove said the latest sketches were done by an FBI artist based on interviews with three men who survived knife attacks last week in Buffalo. Cosgrove said the sketches released yesterday were of a white male, 5-foot-8 to 6-foot tall, in his mid-20s to mid-30s, with dirty blond hair and a slender to medium build. Judge arms self FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. A judge armed himself with a Magnum pistol yesterday after a 326-pound man accused of assault and battery became angered, damaging a table and rushing at the judge's bench. No one was injured in the 20-minute outburst, court officials said, and the prisoner, Joshua Thomas, of Miami, was later placed in the Broward County Jail.

Circuit Judge Thomas M. Coker who said he usually keeps the weapon under his bench, didn't have the gun when Thomas rushed toward him. During the outburst, he said, he slipped out of the courtroom, got the pistol and then put it under his bench for the rest of the day. "I'm a firm believer In courtroom security," said Coker, one of five Broward: judges thought to keep pistols in the courtroom. "I wouldn't have been so con-; cerned if the man had not been so wild." The incident occurred as the judge advised Thomas he had been charged -Monday night with assault and battery, resisting arrest with violence, breaking! and entering and trespassing.

Coalition survives JERUSALEM Prime Minister Menachera Begin extended the life of his struggling coalition government yesterday, but Cabinet sources said it may collapse soon because of a threatened teachers' strike. Finance Minister Ylgal Hurvitz withdrew his resignation just two hours before it was to take effect. He had tendered the resignation after a Cabinet meeting Sunday to protest what he called excessive wage demands by teachers. Hurvitz said he would resign after next Sunday's Cabinet meeting if the government concedes on the wage issue and take his three-man Rafi party out of the Begin's Likud coalition.

That would leave Begin's group with only 57 seats in the 120-member Knesset parliament. A Cabinet source close to Begin said the prime minister would resign if he lost control of the Knesset. Nazi buried AUMUEHLE, West Germany Admiral Karl Doenitz, the architect of Nazi Germany's submarine fleet and Nazi leader for 23 days after Adolf Hitler's death, was buried yesterday as 2,000 mourners paid their respects. Doenitz, Hitler's handplcked succes-' sor who surrendered to the Allies after the fuhrer's bunker suicide in April 1945, died of heart failure at his home on Christmas Eve. He was 89.

The West German government had refused to allow Doenitz a military funeral and soldiers were told not to attend the services in uniform. Two former admirals attended in civilian clothes but one young reservist was seen in uniform standing at attention at Doenitz' grave. Some of the mournTS wore medals received during the Nazi regime.
