HICK DONOHUE, Local 147 Compressed Air Workers, stared moodily into his closet country looks like a Let me ask you how many old folks died last winter because they didn't have the cash for heat? I don't see you media talking about that" Donohue has heard that national politics is conducted on a high level and that positive statements, rather than personal attacks, are preferred. He tends to disagree.

MEDIA let Reagan sit i wtn tnose Phony tears LI in Normandy. You know where he was on the real DDay? Sitting in uniform in Hollywood. I hate to get personal, but where was he when they needed him for real in Normandy? I don't know why I can't ask that "We got 23 dead digging a water tunnel and during the four years of Reagan we didn't have one federal safety and health inspector visit the job. The Labor Department says the bosses can't be doing anything wrong, so they put all the money into hiring people to investigate the workers." Donohue says that much of his noise will be dictated by the economics of attending a convention. "I'm losing a week's pay by going there.

I have to pay $170 a night for a hotel room. Imagine Chick Donohue paying a bill like that The airfare costs $449. My business agent put up a notice on the bulletin boards at job sites that Chick Donohue was elected to the convention and that all contributions should be made to the shop stewards. "One of the guys, Willie Hickey, said, 'Other you send him out there with a pocket full of money and let him make a good show or keep him home. Nothing half way.

Somebody in San Francisco asks Chick where he's from, and Chick says, New York sandhogs, then Chick has to buy a round right away. We don't want people out there thinking New York sandhogs are too cheap to come up with a round. one day in the Bronx last week. He decided that one blazer and a couple of basketball jackets, while fine for his union life the sandhogs union, where a short right hand, rather than clothes, make the man would not get him through the first political convention of his life. "I got to buy a suit, Terri," he said to his wife, surprised to hear these words slip out of his mouth.

He went to a union meeting down in Manhattan where he spoke to Sy Cohen, who once worked for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. Cohen took Donohue to a suit factory. "It was a union shop," Donohue says. He bought two suits, one gray and the other khaki, at a cost of $125 each. Yesterday, Chick took the suits down to the tailor shop on his corner, EL 235th St and Katonah Ave.

in the Bronx, and the suits fit so well that Chick was certain that he would look as good as anybody else in San Fran-' cisco. Also, the suits fit so well that all the tailor had to do was mark up the cuffs and hand them to his wife, who does the sewing. The suits will be ready by the end of the week, when Donohue leaves for San Francisco as the only construction worker in the New York delegation to the Democratic National Convention, He is the first man in the history of the sandhogs union to attend a political convention. Chick was elected in the primary last April as an alternate in the Eighth Congressional District. As Donohue the Political rises out of a union membership that believes an argument consists of an insult then a punch, he is not going to San Francisco as a mute.

This could come as a total shock to the Democrats, who so far are trying to use silence and inactivity as their best weapon. "I'll make noise," Donohue said. "I don't know what these other people are doing with their mouths shut. I got a lot of questions to ask. When the Marines got blown up in Beirut, they could have taken some of them to an Israeli military hospital right across the border Instead, we flew them all the way to Germany because Reagan didn't want his Arab friends to think he was working close with Israel.

What did a kid all blown up who was on the plane for four hours care about that? Some of these kids died on the plane to Germany. Why doesn't somebody bring that up?" Donohue, short, chunky and 43, knows exactly where he stands in the social structure and what he wants to say about it. "The minute I hear the code word, 'special interests, that's when I stand up. I'll introduce myself as a special interest I'm a working man. I don't see your media saying that Reagan says he leans to the rich.

What does your media say about that? In the beginning, all you did was let him talk about safety nets. You don't hear anybody mentioning safety nets anymore. You know why? Because so many millions fell through the safetv nets that the bottom of the Now you have- even more chances to win playing MILLIONAIRE'S ROULETTE.

SUNDAY, JULY 8, 1984 BONUSSECOND CHANCE COLOR OF THE DAY: BLACK ANDHOGS HAVE been putting up $5 and $10 to cover Dono-hue's expenses, which is where his real trouble begins. For a $10 donation, a sandhog like Willie Hickey will stare at the television without blinking and look for Chick Donohue. He will expect Donohue to be interviewed by some network anchorman.

If he does not see Chick Donohue on television, he will suspect that Donohue took the collection and never went to the convention. Because of this, Chick is going to carry a large sign reading, "New York Sandhogs" in the labor parade on. Sunday in San Francisco. On the convention floor, he will hold up the same sign. He also has a fallback position.

He is going to look up an old sandhog. Suitcase Sullivan, who went out to San Francisco to work on a tunnel for the transit system and never returned. He will use Sullivan as a witness, but as meetings with Sullivan could be costly, Donohue has been playing number 529 for the last few weeks in hopes of having a jackpot in his pockets when he goes to the first political convention of his life. 534571 382975 963763 562472 385569 306631 i ami jail MLX' iju i twi ihfMMte lifa ifcaaMBiiiii i 851650 004333 337625 895524 341157 682836 227628 709018 694341 31 1839 986921 92721 6 709990 796499 833799 259789 217509 478494 174693 152193 699282 693106 068492 724498 270894 588181 452707 107397 824391 320396 697487 910746 297297 854295 860296 2551 1 2 429037 246696 284299 760698 608006 848731 636899 953697 'J 149285 457503 Radio feature: Koch on racism Mayor Koch and Wil- will discuss race rela- bert Tatum, chairman tions and other issues and editor in chief of next Sunday in a debate The Amsterdam News, to be broadcast live from 9 to 10 p.m. on WNBC radio.
