At least, that is, until the water from a handy puddle proves very unhandy for getting anything clean. Wendy Anthony, 4, of Upper Nyack got halfway through her game of "The Proper Way to Wash a Baby" before throwing in the sponge. She turned to a nearby hose to complete the treatment. Wendy appeared undaunted through it all.

Perhaps she'd intended to give a mud-pack treatment all along. ppra? -pf I) irw 'i --riV, How McGovern won Hudson fill to the wall at the end of Hamilton and Steeger's property. If you can imagine this. he added, "their property along with another fill-in on an adjacent site to the south makes a cove out of Theirman's "They and their attorneys also know." Windheim remarked, "that the precedent argument just doesn't hold weight. It's a rule of law that you can't prohibit one man from doing something because of the speculative effects if many others follow." The Army Corps of Engineers in New York revealed that others in the neighboring village of Piermont have received fill permits during the 1960s.

"There have been three or four permits issued." Corps engineer Phil McGrade said, "during the last 10 years." "We have the Thierman application before us now but we are probably going to wait until it is settled in court before we make a decision. Both the State and Federal Environmental Protection Agency have approved the fill." As it stands now. Thierman possesses the permit to start the fill, awarded after public hearings in Grand View. and. if the army Corps of Engineers issues an approval, can begin work.

There are no court injunctions or stays against him. The original suit was brought in Supreme Court in New City but transferred to Albany because it involved the State Department of Environmental Conservation decision. A ruling was expected by June 28. the expiration of the usual Ho-day waiting period after arguments. Regardless, both sides have promised to appeal the decision in the state courts and to the U.S.

Supreme Court if they can find a constitutional or federal issue. a few other primary states. Those delegates would have been there even under the old rules. The most striking differences between this year and previous years were the greater number of candidates, the greater number of primaries, and the requirement for affirmative action to assure greater representation for young people, women and minorities. For the greater number of candidates which was an index of ambition and the greater number of primaries which was decided by the individual state legislatues.

the reform rules can claim no credit. The reform rules obviously were responsible lor greater representation from groups that had not participated so widely previously, but since every candidate had women, young people, and members of minority groups supportin ghim. this affected the tone ot the delegate selection process and of the convention more than it alfect-ed the coutcome of the presidential race. The Democratic Party certainly does not want to maintain permanent specifications for the proportion of representation of different segments of the population, but I think that the guidelines this year counteracted a history of exclusion and resulted in a more representative convention. In short, I would say that I won the Democratic nomination through hard work, careful planning, a willingness to move ahead decisively, greater public participation, and a determination to take nothing for granted.

And this is just the way I intend to win the presidency. Jam traps thousands Marijuana, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Police garden Spotted' Art Sarno photos Real marijuana plants are likely to appear anywhere in Rockland County, although police of woodland areas, such as Sloatsburg, report none. Nor have there been plants discovered growing in the village of Haverstraw by police there. A Stony Point officer said police in that North Rockland township have not discovered marijuana growing in its "wild" state. But Stony Point police ended a 1970 investigation by arresting five youths who had grown about 30 marijuana plants at the site of a demolished sewage treatment plant off Route 9W.

Police there discovered a cultivated "marijuana patch" last year and a "farm" operation this year. Then there was the case of the incredible green barrel found in a Suffem rooming house cellar about six months ago. Police discovered the barrel had several marijuana plants growing inside. While police couldn't prove ownership, they confiscated the unusual container. They discovered the barrel, about the size of a 100-gallon oil drum had been rigged with an infrared light and a humidity gauge.

In it grew several well-tended marijuana plants. Suffem police say they "take a periodic "peek" at the cellar but that the "barrel-maker" has not returned. According to a State Police investigator at the Stony Point substation, marijuana plants may attain a height of 5 to 6 feet. The plant's stalk carries a number of smaller branches sprouting ragged green leaves in clusters of three. Many of the people running the individual state campaigns used the same policy on a smaller scale.

Instead of trying to do everything themselves, they found people that they could count on. The danger of this that, for example, a town coordinator might fail to do his job is largely illusory, since the state headquarters can always make a special infusion of manpower in the last week in places where the campaign is not working. Running the campaign this way did require, of course, that I have a great deal of confidence in my supporters. Since I have been campaigning on a promise to trust the American people, it seems to me that it was only fair that I should have to begin by placing an unusual degree of trust in my own supporters. I would recommend to other presidential candidates, especially those who begin as underdogs as I did, that they place some real trust in their supporters.

It is an investment that will bring real returns in the long run. These are the things that the campaign did that were most important to our success. And, incidentally, I suspect that the general election campaign will shape up in much the same way. It will be a contest between a well-financed top-heavy bureaucracy that holds meetings and gives and takes orders and a loosely organized, relatively improvisation. The story of how I won would not be complete without a discussion of the new party reform rules and how they affected my campaign.

Of course, there has been a great deal of comment about how the delegate selection process was changed almost beyond recognition this year by the new rules. However, there has been surprisingly little attempt to judge what impact the reform rules actually had on the way the campaign developed. It seems to me that I won the nomination because I did well in critical primaries in New Hampshire. Wisconsin. Massachusetts, Ohio, Nebraska, California and New York.

The more important reform guideline in its impact on the outcome of the nomination was the requirement that in non-primary states the delegate selection process be open to participation by all Democrats. This had already been the practice in a few non-primary sites, including Iowa and Minnesota. I certainly did much better in the non-primary states under the new rule guaranteeing free participation in delegate selection, but the backbone of my strength at the convention came from the large delegations from California, New York, Massachusetts, and (Continued from l) Those who followed the campaign closely may recall specific moments during the campaign when these discoveries were critical. In San Diego, I was campaigning at an aerospace plant, walking alongside a wire fence and shaking hands with some of the workers, and the reception I was getting wasn't very enthusiastic. And I wasn't feeling very good about what was happening either.

Then a man stuck out his hand and said, "I need my job, but. I need my country more. I'm for you." In California military spending was an important issue, and I was heartened that a worker would put love of country above his own job. Three days before the Wisconsin primary I was visiting a senior citizens home in Milwaukee when a woman in her late 70s, shriveled up and in a wheelchair came up to me and said, "we need to turn this country around." It wasn't exactly the place I expected to hear that type of comment and it gave me an indication on just how deeply the dissatisfaction with the status quo is running. We though about these things and we developed what turned out to be quite a successful plan.

But obviously I couldn't have carried out this plan by myself; I couldn't have carried it out without a staff. The McGovern staff, otherwise known as the McGovern organization, is widely known for its size. What has not been so widely recognized is that the McGovern staff is effective on a per capita basis. It would be easy, for instance, for 30,000 people working on the California campaign to duplicate each other's work, alienate half the voters and accomplish nothing. One reason our campaign staff is so effective is that I trust it.

I haven't tried to supervise everything that has been done; instead I found people I felt I could rely on, and I gave them a great deal of autonomy. People who were running the individual state primary campaigns had the responsibility for winning elections. The people in the state knew that state best. There were many states I hadn't even been to. So what did I know? When people from the national campaign want to help out in a state, the staff from the state told them what to do.

The people from the individual states made the important decisions. When we knew who was going to run the different campaigns, I tried to approach them on a one-to-one basis. I simply told them: "Look, I'm relying on you. You have the responsibility to win the election." I gave them but one instruction directive: "Just win the damn thing." (Conlinut'd from I V) expected to rule whether Thi-erman can proceed with the till-in. It's a certainty, however, that the final decision on the issue will be made by a higher court, for both sides pledge an appeal of they lose.

Thierman. of West New York. N.J.. owns 151 feet of riverfront property along River Road, steeply inclined for K9 feet from the riverbank up to the road. The property carries 50ii feet of underwater land rights into the Hudson and the owner wishes to fill in 100 feet of this to meet building requirements for a home.

Hal Steeger and Dr. Lloyd Hamilton, two of the leaders of the River Defense Fund which brought the suit to stop fill operation, argue that the shallow flats below the Tappan Zee Bridge are natural feeding grounds for fish. While thev admit Thierman's fill by itseff represents no grave threat to entire flats, they insist his success would establish a precedent allowing all similar landowners to fill in their underwater domain. Both Hamilton and Steeger live in home situated on previously filled-in sites. "The filled sites in Grand Mew were completed before the turn of the cnetury." Ham-ilto assorted.

"Of course, these demands will not be met." McDaniels said. McDaniels said prison officials feared that hostages may have been taken when some 250 inmates stormed a recreation yard fence about 6 p.m.

Prison officials described the storming of the fence as an apparent escape attempt, but said they believed no inmates had escaped. "However, we just don't know who's in there at this said.

"I didn't want to sell my property because I'd always planned to fix everything up to preserve its historical value. Everyone who passes through says it looks just like an old Western town." Morano bought the store seven years ago, fulfilling a boyhood dream. Before going off to World War II, he had worked as a clerk for the original owner, F.F. Rose.

"It's been a thriving business for a general store," said Morano nostalgically as he prepared to pack groceries, old coffee grinders and even a marijuana in pots, closets, bathrooms and at the site of a demolished sewerage plant. Police here have received reports that marijuana grows in fields, backyards and apartments. Detective Lt. Carl Barbera of the Palisades Interstate (PIP) Park police at Bear Mountain tells of a man who insisted a whole field of marijuana grew in waves of flowing green on state park property. To convince the well-meaning citizen he was in error, PIP officers sent samples from the "marijuana field" to a police laboratory for analysis.

"We're not against progress and we know the road needs widening," said Ed Clauss, who lives on Hammond Road.

"But they're wiping out a pleasant little hamlet with no regard for its historical value." The county bought 6.000 feet of Claiss' property for the project. Alfred "Tiger" Morano, a life-long resident of Thiells, has opposed the project since negotiations were first begun.
