Thomas Poster News Dhoto by Anthony Pescatore leachers at Board of Education headquarters, where they got new assignments. yesterday. The exact number of teachers recalled will depend in part on the number of teachers retiring or quitting in the first few weeks of the term, which, is when teachers traditionally put in their retirement papers.

But City Budget Director Donald Kummerfeld, who studied the Board of Education budget at the request of the Emergency Financial Control Board, said yesterday that the "will require a reduction in ttie teaching force probably around 4,000" compared to the figure of 5,000 to 5,500 that the Board of Ed itself has been using. Moreover, Kummerfeld said, the board has used a "very conservative" estimate of 500 for the number of teachers who will retire or quit this year. If actual attrition is closer to last year's figure of 2,000, then another 1,500 jobs could be saved. But, Kummerfeld said yesterday, "the board may. have other assumptions aboqt the budget; if they see the need to spend more on custodians and less on teachers that's their decision." Kummerfeld met with school and teachers' union officials last niHT AT THE OFFICE OF STATE MEDIATOR Vincent McDonnell in an effort to reach deferral agreement to amend the teachers' union contract signed last fall.

Clarlr Scores IB a For Feathering Nest tials are extra payments for teachers who earn postgraduate credits and degrees. The union has repeatedly said it would be willing to negotiate a deferment of the cost-of-living and other benefits for a. specific time period but would not surrender them completely. Earlier, about 5,000 teachers reported to the board's at 110 Livingston Brooklyn, to learn where they would be transferred as a result of the teacher layoffs. In a scene reminiscent of a union hiring hall, the teachers were given their new assignments as board staff members attempted to reshuffle personnel throughout the 1.1 million-pupil school system.

Many of the teachers were angered at the hiring-hall atmosphere and there were complaints that some teachers, with up to six years' seniority, were being laid off before teachers with less service. But Frank Arricale 2d, executive director of personnel for the board, brushed aside complaints. "Teachers belong to a trade union, don't they? Longshoremen have to shape up on the docks and a teacher is not a higher class of human being than a dock worker." New Pressure on Unions The Board of Education is putting new pressure on the union to give up cost-of-living raises, wage increments and differentials to save about 2,000 jobs. Before the new talks began, a spokesman for teacher union President Albert Shanker labeled the education board's job-saving proposal as "phony," adding that the union would not give up any increases without "an ironclad guarantee' that there would be no further teacher layoffs during the life of the city's fiscal plan. "We're not just being asked to give up $300 in cost-of-living raises but, considering the increments and differentials, about $2,000 per teacher," the Shanker spokesman said.

Increments are automatic raises based on the length of service. Differen- News photo by Jim Hughes Rep. Bella Abzug as she was interviewed at The News yesterday. Gty- to Set SM Prom (Commodore Sale By SAM ROBERTS and BETH FALLON Ramsey Clark, who has been attacking Daniel P. Moynihan and Rep.

Bella Abzug for squabbling attacked Mrs. Abzug yesterday for voting for her own pay raise in Congress and for taking nearly $15,000 for outside lectures despite a "$75,000 income in her family." "I never took a penny" for outside speeches as attorney general, Clark told an audience of reporters at a Deadline Club debate for all Democratic Senate candidates. (Abraham Hirschfeld missed it; he was late returning from a campaign stop in Utica.) Mrs. Abzug smiled and shrugged. "I find it a bit amusing to have to explain that my husband has an independent salary," she said, adding she had not voted for the appropriation bill granting Congress members a hike to $44,600 a year, only for the original authorization bill.

Honor of Welfare" Moynihan condemned the "horror of welfare" and sniped at Mrs. Abzug's attack on his old Family Assistance Plan, which she called too favorable to the South. "Not fair," Moynihan insisted. The bill, under President Nixon, died in the Senate.

City Council President Paul O'Dwyer also ripped Moynihan's plan as wildly favorable to the South against the Northeast and said Moynihan was so like incumbent Sen. James Buckley "that I don't know how he-can give a legitimate argument that he (Buckley) should be retired." Clark's swipe at Mrs. Abzug prompted the three-term congresswoman to say that the $15,000 maximum speech earnings allowed representatives helped her to pay $25,000 in office expenses "out of my own pocket."

N.J. Schools Still Struck School strikes continued in Jersey City and Bayonne, N.J., yesterday as officials obtained temporary court injunctions ordering more than 2,500 teachers and school board clerks in those towns to return to work. Bayonne's classes were held again on a half-day basis, but spokesman said only SO'r of the town's 3,000 high school students attended. Attendance at the 11 elementary schools was better, they said. In jersey City, school rooms were shut for the second straight day, a'l though doors were left open for those teachers who chose to cross picket lines.

There are 540 Bayonne teachers off the job. The town has 9,500 pupils. There are 38,000 pupils in Jersey City, where about 2,000 teachers and clerks are striking. The Commodore, located on E. 42d St.

next to the Grand Central Terminal, closed in May, with the Penn Central, which owns it, owing the city more than $10.2 million in back taxes and interest. Donald Trump, a developer who plans to turn the shuttered building into a $100 million luxury said yesterday that the city would receive the $5 million in "two or three months" when he buys the Commodore for $10 million. Trump's plans for the Commodore passed another important milestone Wednesday night when the directors of the Urban Development Corp. approved the lease for the project. The lease, in which the city will share revenues in exchange for tax abatement, now will enable' him to obtain the estimated $75 nil ion -in financing-he needs, Trump said.

The city initially approved the tax abatement plan on May 20, but approval also was needed from the UDC, a state financing agency that ultimately will be the owner of the new hotel. After he buys the structure, Trump will relin quish title to the state agency for $1. In turn, he will receive a 99-year lease on the hotel, with tax-exempt status for the first 40 years. The involvement of the UDC is a means of "legally permitting the tax exemptions. The state agency will not share in the hotel profits, but will receive a $100,000 fee for its services, plus another $50,000 in each of the next four years.

The city, as part of the project, will receive rental payments starting at $250,000 a year once the Commodore is reopened and share in the profits of the hotel. The rent payments will be in lieu of the taxes the hotel normally would pay. The payments to the city will increase to a high of $2.7 million over the 40-year period, after which the hotel returns to full tax status. Trump said yesterday that he was pleased with the approval of the Urban Development Corp. He estimated that he would have his financing arrangements completed by December, with the money coming from a consortium of banks and other lending institutions that he would not identify.

Trump plans to strip down the existing 60-year-old hotel to its shell and rebuild it..
