Dante Ferrara, 53, of Dayview Road in Revere and James Pearson, 43, of Normandy Road in Chelsea, were charged with trafficking heroin.

They were arrested at the New England Air Freight warehouse on Border Street in East Boston, which police believe they were using to ship the drugs. Ferrara and Pearson were being held last night at the District 7 police station in East Boston. Police said they had watched the warehouse, where Ferrara and Pearson worked, during the weekend, and they executed a search warrant at the warehouse yesterday. Five officers seized what they believe to be heroin, cocaine and a small amount of marijuana all with a street value of more than $50,000. Also seized were drug paraphernalia, a rifle, ammunition, police scanners! walkie talkies and $1,324.

Officer Nick Saggese said they also found pictures of every officer assigned to District 7 hung on warehouse walls. He said some of the pictures had pins stuck in the necks of the officers. Saggese said neither Ferrara nor Pearson has been arrested on drug charges in the past. News of the arrests did not surprise some residents. Laura Hardy, who moved from the North End to the Border Street area more than 25 years ago, said, "There are lots of kids on drugs around here always.

They're smoking pot hanging outside their windows, in the. hallways, breaking and entering they're always doing something." Kelly Ruggerio, who has lived in East Boston for five years, said, "So far it has been quieter than the past few summers. Police have been a lot more visible late-ly." Last month, police attributed the firebombings of a patrol car in East Boston and a detective's private car to possible retaliation from drug dealers for a police crackdown. no longer casts a shadow on Washington Street in the South End.

The elevated Orange Line ROXBURY, SOUTH END Group backs trolley to replace El Coalition plans petition drive, letter-writing campaign aimed at By Peter J. Howe Globe Staff The Washington Street Corridor Coalition yesterday announced plans to intensify its campaign for a trolley line down Washington Street to Dudley Square in Roxbury to replace the former elevated Orange Line, which closed one year ago. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which has repeatedly delayed its decision on replacement service for the El, is considering eight options: a trolley line from Dudley joining the Green Line at Boylston, a trackless-trolley line and six networks of bus routes. No decision is expected until December at the earliest. Martin Marvin, president of the coalition, which represents community groups in Chinatown, the South End and Roxbury, said the group plans to circulate petitions favoring the trolley service Vk.

The coalition says a trolley would draw 10,000 riders a day, providing the fastest, least-polluting and least expensive trip downtown. It also says the trolley is the only option that would live up to what it contends was the MBTA's 1973 promise to ensure any replacement service would be equal to or better than the old El. But the federal mass-transit officials have refused to provide support for trolley service, saying it is too expensive.

While representa-' tives of Chinatown and Roxbury neighborhood groups last summer signed a pact in favor of the trolley, some South End groups are opposed, with Worcester Square Neighborhood Association president Fernando Requena saying a trolley would "separate us from the rest of the South End." signed into law. The law recognizes two types of bed and breakfasts an "establishment," meaning four or more rooms for occupancy, or a "home," meaning three or fewer rooms for occupancy. The law, signed May 10, exempts operations that rent three or fewer rooms from the state's 5 percent meals tax, ,5.7 percent room occupancy tax and any local option room taxes. Bed and breakfast establishments that rent four or more rooms will be subject to these taxes as are hotels and motels. Yale releases works of Benny Goodman NEW HAVEN Yale University announced the release of recordings by Benny Goodman taken from the private collection of the late jazz great.

The first volume of 16 jazz pieces being made available to the public was selected from the massive collection of material bequeathed to Yale upon Goodman's death June 13, 1986. The collection includes 400 master tapes that Goodman recorded during a 60-year musical career, but never released, said music professor Harold E. Samuel. Samuel, librarian of the John Herrlck Jackson Music Library at Yale, said the recordings are the "best at Saturday's kite festival at Franklin Park, which in the past has drawn as many as 20,000 people. The coalition also plans to mobilize churches and neighborhood associations along Washington Street and stage a letter-writing campaign to transportation officials, Marvin said.

"We're going to triple our efforts over the summer," said coalition organizer Robert Terrell. "We're going to be turning up the flame, turning up the momentum." Coalition officials were joined at a news conference under the former Northampton station by representatives of the Greater Roxbury Neighborhood Authority, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, Chinatown Neighborhood Council, Episcopal City Mission, United South End Settlements, Massachusetts Tenants Organiza failed to reach a verdict in the trial of A. Michael Freedman, alleged to have been involved with former Dukakis education aide Gerard T. Indelicato in a scheme to defraud the state of $80,000 intended for an adult education center. The jurors told Judge Douglas P.

Wood-lock that they had failed to reach a unanimous decision, but Wood-lock sent them back for further deliberations. The other defendants in the case Indelicato, his brother Joseph Indelicato, former adult education center director Antonio Perrotta, and John Gaeta have all pleaded guilty in the case. During the nine-day trial, fedrral prosecutor Ralph Gants charged that Freedman was the middleman in the alleged scheme. Freedman, 44. of South Boston, testified that he was a partner with the Indelicatos at the Blue Diner restaurant.

He said that while he deposited checks sent by the center, he said he thought it was a legitimate subleasing arrangement.

(UPI) SJG backs Mass. on chemical limit Massachusetts can set standards tougher than the federal government's on the amount of a suspected cancer-causing chemical allowed in fresh and heat-processed apple products sold in the state, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled yesterday.

State regulations on daminozide, a chemical used most frequently on apples to extend the harvest period by delaying ripening, were set by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in 1986. The regulations, some 400 percent more stringent than the federal government standards, were the first of their kind by a state to restrict the chemical. The lawsuit by the Pro- cessed Apples Institute and other industry groups contended that the state's standards were invalid because they were "more restrictive than the federal tolerance" and failed to conform with the federal limits. But the high court, voting 5-1, disagreed, said that "while federal levels usually will provide a beacon, leeway is allowed for independent state determinations." (AP) Court rejects appeal in breathalyzer case WASHINGTON A Massachusetts motorist who said he was denied a fair trial on drunken driving charges lost a US Supreme Court appeal yesterday. The court, without comment, rejected arguments that it was unfair to force Thomas K.

Yameen to testify that he knew he would lose his license if he refused to take a breathalyzer test. Yameen was convicted by a jury of operating his car while under the influence of li-" quor, and his license was suspended for one year. Yameen was stopped by police in North An-dover, in March 1986. He agreed to take a breathalyzer test, which registered the alcohol content in his blood at .16, a level presumed to indicate intoxication. Yameen said he was denied a fair trial when the judge permitted a prosecutor to ask whether police told Yameen he would lose his license for 90 days if he refused to take the test.

Yameen responded that the police had so informed him.
