Her chestnut colored hair cut short and often tousled, Gov. Grasso runs an unpretentious administration. She dresses casually, usually in slacks. She shunned a limousine for a baby-blue state police cruiser and says she'll sell state-owned silver coffee and tea services to raise money. She also has laid off 505 state employes to try to avoid a budget deficit and says up to 5,000 of the state's 40,000 employes could be cut from the payroll.

Gov. Grasso also wants state employes to work an additional hour a day without more pay, a proposal that brought a strike threat and declaration of "political war" from labor leaders who once were staunch Grasso supporters. One of her first acts as governor was to break a campaign promise to give cities and towns $25 million in federal revenue-sharing money. Mayors, struggling with municipal fiscal troubles, were given only $6 million, and many haven't forgiven Mrs. Grasso.

The minority leaders and social activists who worked for her election were dismayed at her opposition to higher welfare grants and cuts in social-services spending. But the animosity of the union leaders and state employes is the most serious confrontation of the Grasso administration. They want taxes increased so layoffs can be avoided and pay raises made possible. They threaten to sabotage any Grasso bid for the 1976 Democratic vice presidential nomination, which the governor says she doesn't want anyway. But Ella Grasso says the public is overtaxed already and the state employes and other special-interest groups are asking too much.

She says she's trying to "hold the line on taxes." It's been a tough year, she says, but adds: "I'm a tough person." Bv MICHAEL W. MILLICAN HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) When Gov. Ella Grasso needed the vote of a Connecticut legislator she invited him to lunch at the governor's mansion and said in Italian: "I'm in trouble now. I need this.

Help me." A leader of the General Assembly says: "She treats us like an Italian or Jewish mother. In private she can be warm and womanly but when she wants something from us there's a very tough, complaining and demanding side." Ella Grasso was a novelty last January when she became the nation's "first lady governor who was not a governor's first lady," as she puts it Elected by a landslide, she seemed everyone's darling when sworn in as Connecticut's first woman chief executive. But while reporters from across the country, Great Britain and Italy waited for interviews, the reality of running a financially strapped state government turned many Grasso supporters into antagonists. Mayors, union leaders, state employes, the poor and the disadvantaged all wanted more help from the state, and Ella Grasso was the governor who said she had to say "no." At 57, Mrs. Grasso is a veteran of more than 23 years in politics.

A traditional Democrat from the small industrial town of Windsor Locks in northern Connecticut, she rose through the ranks as state legislator, secretary of the state and congresswoman. Her most distinguishing political characteristic is the fact that she's a woman and that her husband, a retired school principal, played no official part in her success. Three other states have elected women governors: Nellie Rose in Wyoming in 1925, Miriam Ferguson in Texas in 1925, Lurleen Wallace in Alabama in 1967. But all succeeded their husbands in office.

Oldline Democratic machines in the state's major cities have broken down, diluting the power of local party chieftains. But the most significant shift in the power structure came when John M. Bailey, who helped engineer John F. Kennedy's presidential nomination in 1960 and was Democratic national chairman from 1961 to 1968, died last April of throat cancer. Bailey was Connecticut Democratic chairman from 1946 until his death and his presence permeated Connecticut Children under six FREE Daily luncheon and Dinner Menu Banquet Facilities Major credit cards accepted For reservations 455-7723 5458 Buford Highway, blotk inside Perimeter 1-285 Wi 1 DEAR (Vl ABM Wl of SBviatgs SPRUCE UP YOUR WARDROBE AND'SAVE, SAVE, SAVE MISSES' 3-PC.

My husband and I must attend classes one By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: My husband has had a lot of back surgery, which required several long stays in the hospital. While there, a couple we were friendly with sent him get-well cards regularly, which-we both appreciated, but all their cards had the same theme: "The male patient was fooling around with his nurses." After my husband came home, this couple visited him, and their conversation was full of teasing about the nurses giving him massages, backrubs and baths. I was even asked point blank if I wasn't afraid my husband would run off with a pretty young nurse. Whenever we are with this couple now, they get back on the pretty young nurse subject until I am sick of hearing it. Perhaps because I am neither young nor pretty and have such a meager quotient of self-esteem, I'm depressed for days about these remarks, especially when they are made in the presence of others, which is often the case.
