Mrs. Herity was born in Ireland and lived in the borough for the past 10 Administration hesitant about energy proposal New Jersey News Service WASHINGTON Carter administration officials yesterday gave lukewarm approval to Sen. Bill Bradley's residential energy conservation plan.

William Fischer, acting assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, told the Senate Finance Committee that the New Jersey Democrat's plan is "intriguing" and "innovative." But Fischer also said the plan could result in higher utility rates, is very complex and could violate anti-trust laws. Fischer said there are "too many uncertainties to base an entire residential conservation program" on the Bradley plan, but he would support testing the idea in certain areas. Bradley said he has no problems with the idea of phasing in the plan. "It's not something that is going to a national program overnight.

It should be tested," he said. Dr. Shepard Bartnoff, president of Jersey Central Power Light, said his company would be willing to test the program in New Jersey. Bartnoff told the committee that "strongly" supports Bradley's approach. Under the plan, the U.S.

secretary of energy would designate a state or municipal government office as the "contracting office" to find private companies to do the conservation work. The private companies' representatives would go to homes and decide what sort of things such as caulking and weatherstripping the house needed to save energy. The company would do the work and would be paid based on the amount of energy saved. The money would come from a revolving fund administered by the government. It would take a year to measure savings and another 20 years before firms are fully repaid.

Utilities would have to contribute to the revolving fund based on the energy saved but could pass on costs to customers. Utilities with excess capacity might end up with a net loss, but they could take a tax credit. Fisher said he believes a large number of utilities may not be able to cover the costs of the program without "significantly increasing utility rates to some rate payers." But he added, "Rate payers may still be net gainers" because of energy conservation. He also said that because only specific firms would be designated as conservation companies, there is a "potential for anti-competitive effects." He said he has asked the Justice Department to review the matter. Bartnoff told the senators the program would be ideal for because "we have a shortage of capacity.

If we can do anything to mitigate that shortage, that's in our advantage."

Actress Gracie Fields dead at 81 CAPRI, Italy (AP) English singer and actress Gracie Fields, the Lancashire mill lass who sang her way into the hearts of millions, died at her villa on this scenic Mediterranean island today, her family announced. She was 81.

Dame Gracie had spent six weeks in the hospital this summer suffering from bronchial pneumonia, and seemed to have recovered and was back at home, her manager and agent, Lillian Aza, said in London. But she collapsed over breakfast today and efforts by her husband, Boris Alperovici, to revive her with oxygen failed, Mrs. Aza said. Just seven months ago, Britain's Queen Mother Elizabeth made the much-loved singer-actress a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in a pomp-filled ceremony in the ballroom of Buckingham Palace. But although she was a Dame the feminine equivalent of a knight, a male titleholder who is called "Sir" she will be remembered in Britain as she had been known for generations, as "Our Gracie." Born Grace Stansfield on Jan.

9, 1898, she always wanted to go on the stage. While she was still a child, she began her career by singing at concerts in workingmen's clubs. Her first proper engagement was with a troupe of juveniles. Her payment: one shilling, then worth 25 cents, a week. She became a star when she appeared with her first husband, comedian Archie Pitt, in "Mr.

Tower of London" at the London Alhambra. Some people had predicted her broad Lancashire accent would be her ruin on the stage, but she turned it into an asset that was to earn her millions of pounds. She was credited with teaching the world to "speak Lancasheer." GARCIE FIELDS 'Our Gracie' Her hit songs, such as "Sally" and "Walter, Walter, Lead Me To The Altar," brought her huge record sales, and she was believed to have sold more records in Britain in the mid-1920s than any other artist. She made successful movies, beginning with "Sally In Our Alley" in 1931, and was voted in 1936 Most Popular British Screen Star..
