By George Anastasia Inquirer Staff H'nisr WILDWOOD, N. Barense says he'd give the shirt off his back to defend the U.

S. Constitution. And Tuesday night Barense, the executive director of the Atlantic-Cape May chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), did just that on the boardwalk here. Barense, 49, decided to test personally the city's controversial dress code, an ordinance the ACLU contends is patently unconstitutional, by walking bare-chested on the boardwalk near the Glenwood Avenue police substation. After refusing to heed a police officer's warnings that he was in violation of the law, Barense, who was strolling on the boardwalk with his wife and 11-year-old son, was issued a summons charging him with violating the dress code and failing to obey a police officer.

The dress code, originally enacted in the 1950s, was rescinded last winter, but was instituted by the city commission in June despite a warning from the ACLU that it would be challenged in court. The statute requires that anyone wearing a bathing suit must also have on a suitable outer garment when strolling the streets or Boardwalk of this resort city. Bare-chested men and bikini-clad women are lawbreakers, except on the beach, under the ordinance. The ACLU contends that the law violates an individual's rights of privacy and free expression.

Using a gun fashioned from soap, a handcuffed and shackled murder suspect escaped from Burlington County sheriff's officers yesterday, stole their car and attempted to flee from this community in a wild, tire-squealing drive. The suspect, Marcus 0. Rogers, 23, was captured at 2:37 p.m.

after IS minutes of freedom, police said. He had abandoned the car about a quarter of a mile away from the Burlington County Jail and was found hiding in the underbrush along Conrail tracks, they said. Sheriff Francis P. Brennan said the drama began when Rogers complained of pain in his right arm and placed it in a sling. Handcuffed and wearing leg irons connected at the waistline by a chain looped through a restraining belt, Rogers was taken to Burlington County Memorial Hospital for X-rays.

When he was returned to the jail's parking lot on Grant Street, Rogers pulled back the sling and exposed what appeared' to be a pistol. "I've got a gun," he told sheriff's officers Harold Garrison and James Wright as he ordered them from the car. He slid behind the wheel and drove away. Police said that during his brief flight, with his movements restricted by the shackles, he forced seven motorists to drive off the road or to swerve quickly to dodge the speeding county car. Frustrated by his inability to control the car, Rogers jumped out near the railroad tracks ond tried to hide, witnesses said.

He was arrested by sheriffs officer Michael Sano. Rogers, a former Trenton resident, had been held since Jan. 29 on a murder charge in the stabbing death of Michael Lundy, 22, in the Post Bar in Wrightstown. First Assistant Prosecutor Ralph Tolomeo said Rogers had done a remarkable job in fashioning the gun, even adding detail work to the silver-plated barrel and black pistol grip. "It looked real," Tolomeo said.

He added that Rogers would be charged in the escape.

Another collector, Bill Spingler, 14, of Wayne, who also is displaying his collection at the library, says his 320 cans, collected over the last two years, are worth between $150 and $200. That is not a bad investment when you consider that both boys picked up many of the cans for free or received them as gifts.

And as time passes and some beers are discontinued, thus making those cans more valuable, each collection's value can be expected to increase. Besides, Sagges says, "It's fun, especially when you get a new can that you've never heard of before." CANS, From 1-B Still others, such as Bobby Sagges, simply want to find as many different cans as possible. Many cans Budweiser, Schmidt's and Miller, for example can be picked up free along roadsides or on nearbly college campuses. Others, ranging from out-of-state brands or beers that are simply less advertised and, therefore, less popular, can be bought at flea markets for as little as 50 cents or $1 each. And friends and relatives enjoy giving foreign brands to collectors as gifts.

The collections can be worth more than scrap aluminum.

The surface argument is that, by electing a judge, he is closer to the people, more responsive to the people," Hughes said "The fact of the matter is that he is responsible to the ward politicians, because he has to depend on them to be elected to his next term. St.

Thomas Aquinas couldn't resist being influenced by that fact if he was a judge." Looking back on his two terms as governor from 1962 to 1970, Hughes said: "I loved being governor, mostly because of the opportunity that came from this power. I think that we got a lot of things done. We have the best gun controls laws, the best air and water pollution controls, the best higher education department." The chief justice attributes some of the trouble among the youths of today to a breakdown of the family structure and a "chafing under authority." His knowledge of family life is well documented. He was a widower with four children in 1954 when he married Betty Murphy, a widow with three children. They had three more children, and their family ranges in age from 42 to 16.

Two are still at home in Princeton. Reading is Hughes' principal escape. He also takes a few vacations to Sanibel Island, Florida. He indicated that he would return to the practice of law "to recapture what we've lost. The trouble with being a lawyer in public service is that you start off poor and you end up poor." He said he would like to be remembered as "a good judge, fair, compassionate and just." "The first priority is to serve the people as best you can with the tools and resources you have," he said.
