I By PHIL CAREER Staff Writer ROXBURY TWP. Debra Loff, the Peace Corps volunteer from Succasunna who was held hostage in El Salvador for 10 days in December, says she will not be returning to the Central American country on the advice of Peace Corps officials.

In a telephone interview with the Associated Press yesterday, the 25-year-old woman said the Peace Corps had been reluctant to permit her to return to her Central American assignment because of concerns for her safety, Loff said federal officials were also concerned with her ability to be an effective worker because of the publicity surrounding the hostage incident. She said she would remain with the Peace Corps as a recruiter in the agency's New York office. Since her release on Christmas Day, Loff had sought to return to El Salvador to com-, plete her two-year tour, which would have ended this October. She flew to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 1, where she has been awaiting Peace Corps approval to return to service.

"I miss the people there and regret that I can't go back, but I just don't feel it is realistic at this point," Loff said. She said she understood the Peace Corps' reasons for the decision, and said it "wasn't realistic for me to expect that I could go back without problems." Loff had been working as a health educator in the capital city market place where she helped women with nutrition, health care and child care problems. She was taken hostage along with 12 Salva-dorans on Dec. 13 by leftist guerrillas who were demanding lower rents in the market district. The group was released after the San Sal-vadoran mayor promised to solve the problem.

Loff said that since her release she has heard of reports of violence in the Latin American capital. Despite the Peace Corps decision, Loff called the agency an "excellent organization." She said she was taking the job as recruiter because "I would like to see others get the opportunity" to join the Peace Corps. Loffs mother, Carol, said last night she was pleased with her daughter's decision not to return to Central America. She said another factor in her daughter's decision was Debra's plans to marry former co-volunteer George Like this spring. She said her daughter did not want to accept a new assignment and then return to the United States for her marriage, thereby cutting short her tour.

"She likes to finish everything she starts," Mrs. Loff said. "I guess she's idealistic." Mrs. Loff said her life still hasn't returned to normal since the publicity about Debra's kidnapping. "I seem to be a celebrity, whether I like it or not," she said, adding she has been stopped repeatedly In local stores by people wishing her and her daughter luck.

JoseDh Rpr. By SHIRLEY LAZARUS Staff Writer ROCKAWAY TWP. Defense activities spurred by increased military spending in 1981 will probably affect future programs at the Army Armament Research and Development Command, according to Maj. Gen. Allen H.

Light "but it is too soon to tell." The commander of ARRAD-COM spoke at a community breakfast yesterday saluting the century of service of Picatinny Arsenal, and the command's third birthday.

No charges have been filed against the driver of a dump truck that killed a construction worker Wednesday at the Short Hills Mall here.

Police said last night it appears as if the death of Salvia Donota, 57, of 514 Valley Road, Passaic Township, was an accident. But because a death is involved, as a matter of routine the case may be investigated by an Essex County grand jury, police said. The accident occurred when the rear wheel of a loaded dump truck slipped into a ditch where Donota was workingThe driver, William S. McGarva 26, of 78 Hambug Road, Parsippany, was driving on a dirt path on the construction site when the wheel slipped into the ditch, police said. OB1TUAEIE8.
