"We're being forced to choose between different sides.

It percolates all the way down to the community level." Golden sees the disenchantment from "that private club up there in Albany" as nothing more than another bid by his archfoe, Anthony Genovesi, to seize party control. He says it would take a rules change to allow Halperin, who is not a district leader, to take over. Golden says he. intends to serve out his current two-year term. "I've offered to work with the legislators up there," he says, "but they want to take away the right of the party leaders and hand it over to the legislators." In the beep race.

Assemblyman Al Vann formally announces this Thursday. He says he will name Audrey Bynoe as his campaign manager and George Glee Jr. as his treasurer, and hopes to raise $700,000 to $1 million in campaign funds. Liquor storm brews Deputy Mayor Robert Esnard is getting some Albany help in his campaign to rid the city of illegal liquor stores and clubs. Bronx Assemblyman George Friedman has introduced a bill that includes for the first time questions on liquor license applications relating to compliance with local zoning laws.

This will make it easier to stop illegal outlets from springing up. Friedman notes "a growing problem" in the illegal conversion of residential apartments to commercial establishments. Esnard estimates at least 300 illegal liquor store conversions in the city. Keeping Upper busy Former Deputy Mayor Kenneth Lipper, now a candidate for City Council president, may be doing more than giving speeches before voters. He may get a date to talk to a battery of lawyers.

The Appellate Division of state Supreme Court has refused to throw out an $800 million lawsuit against the city by developers Milstein Properties and Goodstein Construction. They charge that Lipper, as deputy mayor, improperly yanked city permission for a Manhattan project away from them so that friends who helped, him raise funds for Mayor Koch's gubernatorial campaign could benefit Lawyers for the developers say they intend to take Upper's sworn depositions in the case. The suit will then go to trial unless the city appeals to a higher court By ALEX MIOIEUM City Han kurm CMrf Ferry service is returning to New York's inland waters, but don't buy your tickets just yet It's only a test run. Tomorrow, ferryboat builder Luther Blount of Rhode Island will take city Transportation Department officials and members of the City Council's Transportation Committee on a proposed ferry route linking Manhattan with Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and the southern shore of Staten Island. "There is a market out there for alternate means of transportation," says Leonard Piekarsky, the deputy transportation commissioner in charge of ferries and general aviation.

"We'd love to see something like this happening." The test run is a big victory for Brooklyn Councilman Sal Albanese, who has been championing new ferry service since last October as a mass transit alternate to subways and buses. The Koch administration has been cool to any transportation that siphons off riders from subways. But the Transportation Department decision to take a test run shows it is now willing at least to consider other means. The test route will include runs between lower Manhattan ferry slips and these points: 69th St in Brooklyn; Staten Island's South Shore, and the East River corridor with stops in. the lower Bronx near Yankee Stadium.

Long Island City, Queens, and 34th St, Manhattan. The trip will be made aboard a $650,000, Blount-built ferry capable of carrying 150 passengers. The service would be operated privately under a city franchise. The possible fare: In the range, according to Piekarsky. Gclden's luster dims Howard Golden, the Brooklyn borough president and Democratic leader, is getting heat from both ends these days.

Not only are two challengers lining up to try to knock him out of the borough presidency, but there are fresh stirrings among the legislative delegation aimed at his leadership scalp. What these people seem to be saying is that if Golden gives up the party reins, it would bring political peace to the borough and he would have less trouble winning reelection as beep. State Sen. Donald Ilalperin says he isn't pitching for the party job but "I would have to seriously consider it" if he were offered as a compromise "peace" choice. i 1 wmmm Consider what Pratt has to offer: 55'e ci3 placement upon graduation a sa'ares averaging $25,000 Firerc al 3-3 meet full need Cc-cp ccportun.it es in industry, jots on campus Scc'a-s ps wctn $1 500 to $3000 based on PA.
