TNJ Raps Spending On Commuter Rails j. of Learns to Live With Those 2-Liners 3IichaeI Norell tit thority's improvements on the line and a reduction of the fare from 40 to the present 30 cents, Gilhooley said a TNJ commuter line out of Jersey City has been terminated and another from Newark has lost passengers.

life BURBANK "My first line nearly finished me," said Michael Norell, who plays fireman Capt. Stanley in the NBC Television Network's colorcast Saturdays from 8 to 9 p.m. The series depicts the Los County Fire Department's paramedic rescue service and the medical services of the Department of Hospitals. Commenting on his first role in "Emergency!" several seasons ago, Norell said: "It was an exterior shot with about five fire engines pulling up to specific marks, a house burning and about 20 extras Tunning around. All I could think of was, 'Don't mess this up or it will cost thousands of "I WAS petrified.

The only jpMUgiFyjj BEDROOM I liDROOM time I was more scared was when I went on for the first time on Broadway as an understudy with Lauren Becall in 'Cactus At that time I could barely stand up. "But in this shot, we pulled around the corner, stopped, I stood up in the engine, then sprinted into the burning house screaming, 'Let's an inch-and-a-half on the fire." I heard the director say, 'Cut, print and I nearly fainted with relief. About two beats later it occurred to me I was terrible. I stunk! But I had got through it. "It's hard to relax in a part when you have two lines, here, two lines there, so I spent the entire season being nervous.

"AND no doubt it showed half the time, but they kept sending me scripts, so I kept plugging away at it. Finally, in the second season, I became relaxed. I don't know if I'm any better, but I'm more relaxed. 1 "One thing about this job I unfailingly enjoy is the contact with the Los Angeles County firemen. I've learned quite a bit about fire-fighting and have a healthy respect for the fire fighters.

I'm gratified that the show seems to have inspired a lot of interest all over the country in fire department paramedic programs," he said. Norell received a degree In journalism from Washington and Lee University. He was a reporter for the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch for a year. He also spent five years in the U.S. Army Signal Corps where he produced films and did a little acting.

BUT HIS meaningful acting career had its beginning at the Barter Theatre in Abing-ton, where he acted and directed. He also met a cer- 2390 ,2 Rooms or Ont Largs Rec Room CAPT. STANLEY, played by Michael Norell, calls for more fire equipment in "Emergency," the Saturday night television series about Los Angeles County paramedic rescue service. TTTTTTTTTTTTTT, Includes fr I Siding on Addition Dormtrt NEW YORK (UPI) The president of Transport of New Jersey (TNJ), the state's largest bus line, says spending money, to rehabilitate the PATH commuter line is an inefficient way to improve mass transit. John J.

Gilhooler said last night the PATH line from Manhattan to northern New Jersey carries some 180,000 daily riders compared to TNJ's daily passenger load of 500,000. "We are at least three times as important to the mass transit economy of the state of New Jersey as the rails are," said Gilhooley. Gilhooley said he felt "we never needed the rehabili-tation of the PATH tubes In the first place," because buses between the two states could have carried the daily commuter load. "Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent unnecessarily," he said. PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) is currently undergoing a rehabilitation program which includes track work and new equipment and eventually an extension of its route.

Due in part to the Port Au- Strike Settled At 16 Stale Supermarkets CLIFTON (UPI) A strike has ended at 16 Stop wid Shop supermarkets In New Jersey as cashiers and retail clerks ratified a new two-year contract. The end of the week-old strike came yesterday as the majority of about 500 members of the Retail Clerks Internatignal Association Local 1246 voted to accept the contract. Martin Killgallon, a federal mediator, said the union members were to receive a $15 per week raise during the first year of the contract and an additional $10 the second year. Other benefits included $100,000 major medical coverage, an increase in night differential pay and an extension of dental coverage from union members to their 6pouses, he said. The l.OOOnembcr union voted to strike the 6 supermarkets of the Boston-based chain on Oct.

Wertsch, the Military Airlift Crmmander, said Saturday 1,775 families on the base are banned from using the outdoor decorations because of the continuing energy crisis. I There will be only one authorized outside display dur-. ing the holiday season this year, he added. Wentsch said the families are also being urged to limit their indoor electrical displays to conserve energy, and that more than 7,000 persons who use the base had also been asked to turn off unnecessary lights. cS0 tain leading lady, Liz Ingle-son, who became his wife.

Norell doesn't take himself too seriously although he is serious about his acting. "I'm grateful for a steady job at a time when actors aren't working universally," he said. How has his role as Capt. Stanley affected him? "I FIND myself turning up at an occasional actual fire I happen to be driving past and find myself criticizing (to myself) the techniques of the firemen on the scere, fully cognizant that I would be totally helpless at a real fire without my writers. All I really know is "Take an inch-and-a-half and hit the front If that happened to be the wrong thing to do, I'd be in a Jot trouble." But more seriously, he said, "I want to go on to bigger things as an actor and I know I will." 5 ALUM.
