NL 3 By ROBERT GEARTY ONG ISLAND'S congressional 0 candidates stepped up their campaigning this weekend, hop it 5 -xvVi I A I ing that the last-ditch effort on the stump in the waning days of the campaign would be enough to make the difference between victory and defeat. Along with the high visibility of the presidential campaign, the congressional races on Long Island have drawn quite a bit of attention this year. Attention is being focused on the race in the 2d Congressional District, where one of the youngest congressional candidates in the nation is running. Attention is also being focused on the race in the 3d Congressional District, where one of the most expensive 1984 House races in the country is being waged. And attention is also being focused on the First District, where the two combatants have tussled over the issue of the Shoreham nuclear plant.

"Long Island has three Republican and two Democratic congressman at this time. But that make-up could change. Unknown is what effect, if any, President Reagan's coattails will have on any of the races. Political pundits see a Reagan landslide nationally and see the Republican Party in a position the Democrats found themselves in 20 years ago the Lyndon Johnson landslide. Republicans are also viewed as sitting in the catbird seat because in Shore of Suffolk, Babylon Town Attorney Paul Aniboli has waged a vigorous campaign against 10-year veteran lawmaker Tom Downey (D-Amityville.) Downey, 35, who is remembered as one of the youngest men elected to Congress, is in the unusual position this year of being the 'Old His opponent's boundless energy on the campaign trail comes from the fact that he is only 28.

The two other congressional races are in Nassau, and in both the Republican incumbent is considered a solid favorite. In the 4th District which extends south from Uniondale to the South Shore, Democrat Sheldon Englehard of Oceanside is running against Rep. Norman Lent (R-East Rockaway). IT3NVIRONMENTAL issues have I played a major role in the cam-L-2 paign. Englehard has asserted that Lent has failed to use his position to help rid the district of several contaminated landfills.

Lent defends his record on the environment, citing his effort to extend the Superfund program to clean up toxic dumps. In the 5th District, McGrath is being challenged by Mike D'Innocenzo, a 27-year veteran Hofstra University professor. D'Innocenzo, like Quinn, Aniboli and Englehard, is making his first run at political office. D'Innocenzo entered the race after his involvement with the nuclear freeze movement. He has pressed the issue during the campaign.

McGrath has pushed his work in acquiring federal money for projects in the district. A portion of a Queens congressional district, the Eighth, extends to Great Neck. Incumbent "James Scheuer CD-Flushing) has waged a low, low budget, quiet campaign against Robert Brandofino, a printer from Ozone Park who is making his first stab at elective office. Robert Quinn campaign. Nassau Republican Committee chairman Joseph Mondello disagreed.

"Quinn has got a very close race and in my opinion he will win," he said. "He has waged a vigorous campaign and expended a great deal of money and effort" The 3d Congressional District gained national attention in 1982 when Mrazek upset one-term Rep. John LeBoutillier, the bane of House Speaker Thomas P. (Tip) O'Neill. It has gained attention of a different sort this year, as one of the House races to go over the $1 million mark in spending: Mrazek expects to spend more than $500,000, Quinn more than $700,000.

Shoreham is the pivotal issue between Carney and Hochbrueckner. The challenger has opposed ever opening the $4.2 million nuclear plant, a position favored by a majority of the district. Carney said he would support the decision of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on whether or not the plant should be allowed to operate. In the 2d District, on the South Robert Mrazek help or a hinderance," said Rep. Raymond McGrath (R-Valley Stream), noting that, in 1980, he ran ahead of Reagan among voters in the 5th CD.

While the chances of each challenger varies from district to district, all eyes in Washington are on two hotly-contested races, the First and the Third, according to Martin Franks, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. DN THE 1st District, which extends from Smithtown to Montauk, Democratic challenger Assemblyman George Hochbrueck-ner of Coram is trying to unseat Rep. William Carney (R-Hauppauge). In the 3d District, which cuts through the North Shore from Kings Park to Port Washington, Mrazek is being opposed by retired businessman Robert Quinn of Locust Valley. "Mrazek has pretty well handled Quinn," said Franks, predicting victory for the Democrat, barring a last minute influx of money from Quinn, who so far has used $450,000 of his personal fortune to help finance his xai.u ui uic live uuiig loiauu Vsj-ra, their party holds an overwhelming edge in enrollment Still, candidates discount any impact Reagan may have.

"The voters in the Third are among the most independent in the nation," said 3d Congressional District Rep. Robert Mrazek (D-Centerport). "I don't look at Reagan as either a cu 5th District Paul E. Harrenberg (D), Jane Mueller (R.RTL), Arthur L. Comstock (C).

Elliott M. Klein ELECT FROM PAGE ONE more with Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby over the future of the Bethpage landfill. The town now wants to build a resource recovery plant at the site in cooperation with the Town of Huntington. Yevoli has blocked the move on the contention that the landfill is already a hazardous toxic waste site that is contaminating the groundwater. Yevoli is demanding that the town plan to comply with state legislation that requires the landfill to be closed by 1990.

Colby and the Town Board members have sent out numerous mailings criticizing Yevoli's stand and have charged that they will have to raise taxes because of his steadfast oppostion to expanded use at the landfill. Gold, who lives in Glen Cove and serves as the public affairs director for the Nassau County Department of Drug and Alcohol Addiction, has been low key on the issue of the landfill and has instead been waging a door-to-door campaign in Yevoli's strongest section of the district south of Jericho Turnpike in Plainview. In the 20th Assembly District covering Long Beach and most of the the Five Towns area, incumbent Democrat Arthur (Jerry) Kremer enjoys a comfortable plurality of registered Democrats in the district As chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, Kremer is the most powerful of any of the state legislators from Long Island. The 19-year-veteran is being challenged by Republican Brian Meyer, Conservative Jerome Travers and Right To Life candidate Raymond Solga. The most hotly contested race for a Senate seat is in the 9th Senatorial District in the southwestern section of the county, where incumbent Democrat Carol Berman is in a rematch of her election contest last year in which she bested former Assemblyman Dean Skelos, a Republican, in a bitter campaign that ended in both candidates filing libel suits after the election was over.

Berman, 61, of Lawrence, is an aggressive campaigner and a feisty legislator who prides herself on total service to her district Skelos, a 36-year-old attorney from Rockville Centre, is campaigning on his GOP strength in the district as the Assemblyman whose seat was given up in redisricting. He contends that as a Republican in the GOP control- ji i b-r i iv ii bit o- i r. i i ili i.
