Friday. February 21. 1985 DAILY NEWS 11 JiaMyl maEie SoBidairnty SEanciay PLANS for freed Soviet dissident Anatoly Shcharansky to speak here at the annual Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry, and to address a joint session of Congress in Washington, reached a fever pitch yesterday as organizers worked behind the scenes. But exactly when Shcharansky would come to the U.S. was still up in the air.

Solidarity officials predicted it won't be until April. But Jewry. "He'll be coming here went he wants. But as of now, it looks like April, at which time we will reschedule Solidarity Sunday so that he might speak at the rally." Shcharansky will probably lead the traditional march down Fifth Ave. But in Washington, Speaker Tip O'Neill (D-Mass.) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) are said to be working to have Shcharansky address Congress, poss Uwi 1 'C v.

Before you could lick an air mail stamp, the letter carriers reported who gets the most mail. And here are their top 10: Ari Meyers and Allison Smith of "Kate and Allie." Roxana ZaI of the TV movie "Something About Amelia." Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Lisa Bonet of "The Cosby Show." Sydney Penny of another TV flick, "Pale Rider." Justine Bateman and Tina Yothers of "Family Ties." Pat Peterson of "Knots Landing." Joey Perrone of the syndicated TV show "Kids, Inc." Don't call us to complain about the poll, which was taken by the Michael Levine Co. in Los Angeles. Call Mike.

Or the postmaster general. Anybody. But us. Sailing forth against Mario may be 'mutiny' ibly as early as March said aides for several senators and congressmen. "That's the talk on the Hill," said one staffer for a New York congressman.

"The date hasnt been set but we hear it will be in March." Right now, Shcharansky and his wife, A vital, are in seclusion in Israel "taking a well-deserved vacation," said Shnur. "Call it the honeymoon that they didnt have. Both of them are exhausted." to their old tricks in West Berlin. i-v ft i 1 inali iff No dessert Billy Joel took his uptown girl, Christie Brinkley, to midtown for a bite to eat at the Nirvana Club One. The Joels and another couple had yogurt cakes with broiled shrimp, and washed it down with champagne.

One of Shcharansky's stops will be the White House to personally thank President Reagan for arranging his release on Feb. 11.

Soviet r7" sgj-f --r-i Andrew O'Rourke the federal government Now that we've enlightened you as to the New York State Naval Militia, let's get back to Mr. O'Rourke. To all those who are advancing him as a viable candidate against Mario the heed: Our spies insist that he's also known as Cmdr. Andrew O'Rourke of the New York State Naval Militia.

Cuomo would therefore be O'Rourke's commander-in-chief. -In fact, Cuomo reportedly promoted him recently from lieutenant commander. So how would it be for a commander to try to wrest power- -front the commander-in-chief? That would be mutiny! 1 Kvf Anatoly Shcharaasky Below.

She was the guest of honor at a reception at Regine's to promote her updated version of "We Shall Overcome," reports our Darrell Uazelwood. MADONNA and Penn are up Cut it out, it's getting boring Somebody close to moody Madonna and her equally moody husband, Sean Penn, should really do them a favor and tell them how boring their hideaway act has become. The lovebirds arrived in West Berlin yesterday to take in the Berlin Film Festival and immediately showed how well they'd be cast as turtles; they ducked their heads. Penn went so far as to duck all the way into his leather jacket Why in the world would these two seek the "sanctuary" of public events remains a mystery. Ms.

Lucky While the Prez was off to Grenada yesterday, Nancy Reagan took time out to call from Washington to report to all us dog lovers that Lucky, the sheepdog, is having a ball at the ranch in California. Lucky, says Nancy, "adores" the acreage. OU know how these things are. You get to talking and, suddenly, a picture emerges as to who's likely to become the front-runner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, which may be like playing Don Quixote. The chit-chat yesterday focused on Andrew O'Rourke, the exec of Westchester.

Now, allow us to switch for a moment to the New York State Naval Militia. Be patient because there is a connection. We're going to assume that you don't know that New York State has its very own naval militia, so we'll assure you right here and now that it has; it numbers 7,200 militiamen and the commanding officer is Albany lobbyist Capt Peter PiscitellL The New York State Naval Militia has no frigates.
