THE American fashion designer, confidante of Jacqueline Onassis, creator of beautiful clothes for beautiful ladies, sits at his desk, sipping ice water, gazing thru mirror glasses. He is dressed in black turtleneck and pants, complemented by a cream-colored Ultrasuede jacket. He is surrounded by enough mirrors and glass to make the Verseilles Hall of Mirrors look like the Black Hole of Calcutta. He is very happy.

He is talking about money. He is saying that because he sold his business to the Norton Simon conglomerate two years ago for a reported $12 million in stock, he has been able to expand to a conglomerate within a conglomerate. "I'm in a more professional league than the rest of the dress-making world," he says carefully, but gleefully. "I'm ambitious, you see." Indeed. HALSTON, 43.

1 -It Families' plea; Bring dead Marines home from Viet in Marshalltown. It was conducted by two Methodist ministers and friends of the youth, who knew him best as a congenial home town lad fresh from high school graduation last June. He died after less than a year of military service. 1 1 The Marines' bodies initially" were taken to the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital near the airport. -N Marines and, embassy officials in Saigon called the hospital in the confusing final hours to arrange to remove tho bodies and were told that U.S.

officials already had removed them, Laitin said. "There is every probability that the bodies still are at the hospital," he said. From Tribunt Wirt Sarvlc THE FAMILY of Lance Corp. Darwin Judge in Marshalltown, placed their trust Wednesday in the United States Marine Corps and its promise to try to get Judge's body back from Saigon so loved ones can bury him at home. Judge, 19, was one of the last Americans to die in the Vict Nam War.

He and Corp. Charles McMahon 21, of Woburn, were killed in tho Communist shelling of Tan Son Nhut Air Base as they guarded the American defense attache's office. That was the everything possible to arrange their re-; turn. Last Thursday, Laitin said, field reports indicated that the bodies were on the Midway. But when the Department of the Navy messaged the Midway to make funeral arrangements, the ship reported it didn't have the bodies, he said.

IN WOBURN, McMahon's father, Charles said, "I am good and mad. I will even go to the Vict Cong to get my son's body back." In Marshalltown, a spokesman for the Judgo family said the Marine Corps had pledged to the parents it will act in their behalf. "We're hanging loose right now," Greg De Saulniers, husband of the dead Marine's sister, Lorraine, told The Tribune. "We're not giving up hope. The Marine Corps has promised to help us to the best of their ability.

We have full faith in thera and what they're trying to do." De Saulniers said Judge's postman father, Henry, and mother, Ida, were "indisposed." "THEY ARE unavailable for com-1 ment until Darwin is back with us," De Saulniers said. i i A memorial service for Judgo was held Sunday at the Iowa Soldiers Home chaotic day Americans were being evacuated from Saigon. The Pentagon confirmed Wednesday that the bodies had been left behind in Saigon in the confusion of the evacuation; UNTIL NOW. both families had been led to believe that the bodies had been taken aboard the carrier Midway and would be returned to the U.S. "Different peoplo thought others had taken care of the matter," said Pentagon spokesman Joseph Loitin.

"It was certainly not that the effort had not been made. "The State Department is doing Lance Corp. Darwin Judge.
