By HARRIET WALBIRN (Staff Writer) Suffcrn When Mrs. William F. Ward Jr. was a little Kirl in Cornwall-on-Hudson, she spent most of one summer designing a wardrobe for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Her admiration for Mrs. Roosevelt was mingled with fervid patriotism, for she recalls that every outfit in the wardrobe was red, white, and blue. Doth her early love of politics the Democratic brand and fur dress designing were prophetic. Mrs. Ward is married to the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 28th Congressional District, and was a fashion editor and dress designer before her children were born.

The Wards have four children, Jeffrey. 9, Gary, 5, Michacllc, 3, and Greg, 2. Her home shows her training, for she has decorated it with taste and ingenuity. The headboards of the beds, for example. Indicate originality and rcsouce-fulness.

The headboards In the boys' room are real wagon wheels lined with bandana-print, with a matching kerchief sewed to the curtains. Slats from an old crib form the headboards in Michelle's room and in the master bedroom. She also made 28 pairs of curtains. With such a fine family and inviting home, it almost seems a shame that campaigning keeps Ward away from home as much as it docs. But his wife, Elaine, says, "When a man Is in politics, his wife is either going to be a real wife or a campaign widow." So she accompanies her husband on his trips whenever possible, and her expenses for babysitters are mounting.

"I usually sit in the back of the audience," she said. "I was shy about taking a bow at first, but I don't mind it now." The Ward feel Jeffrey Is old enough to travel on campaign trips occasionally. That can mean a lot of traveling, for the 28th Congressional District encom-passes four counties, and It's 184 miles from one end of the district to the other. But Jeff enjoys such activities as passing out bumper stickers. WINS FIRST PRIZE Mrs.

Ward's life is a full one even without the campaign ac tivity. Earlier this month she won first prize at the Orange County Fair in the Fine Arts Division for her gold-leaf painted tray. "Gold-leaf painting is quite difficult," she said. "I learned it when I was an officer's wife at Fort Knox, and we had a club where we were taught stencilling and gold-leaf painting. Another facet of Mrs.

Ward's talent evolved while her husband was In Korea. "Because he was a West Point graduate, I planned a welcome- home gift to him of a set of four prints of West Point uniforms from the earliest days until the present uniform. I've continued to make these prints, and now sell them through the West Point gift shop." STORY ON BACK On the back of the prints Is the story of the period of each uniform. One says that early in West Point's history, some cedets were 12 years old. If her husband wins the election, will she leave her home to move to Washington? "Not at all," she said emphatically.

"Bill would be here one or two days during the week, and on week-ends. "Why. Senator Jacob K. Javits commutes from Washington every day by plane. I wouldn't resent being alone a lot.

I've always encouraged my husband to do outside activities, because I believe that even-body should do as much as possible in this world. "And I find that people in politics are wonderful. They are the doers, not merely the com-plaincrs." As the campaign goes Into high gear, Mrs. Ward continues her busy life. She is a member of the League of Women Voters and the Parents' Club of Sacred Heart School, taking care of her house and children, and contributing her talents to Good Samaritan Hospital.

Alrmont A. and Mount St. Mary Academy. Her latest achievement is typing. She took instructions this summer at Suffern High School.

"Now I can type Bill's press releases." she said. BANDITS TIE, GAG WOMEN, LIFT GEMS Pair Enters Queens Apartment By Ruse, Takes Antiques New York Iff Two bandits invaded a Queens apartment yesterday, bound and gagged two women residents, and escaped with $3,000 in antique jewelry. Police said the men obtained entrance to the apartment of Mrs. Lan O'Kun through a ruse, and bound and tagged her after she streamed. A neighbor, Mrs.

Emily Allen came across the hall when she heard the screams. The two men pulled Mrs. Allen into the apartment and bound her too. Police said neither woman was injured. THREE INJURED IN 4-CARCRASH Vehicles Towed Away At Monsey Scene Monsej Three persons suf- fered slight injuries last night in a 4-car accident on Route 59, ILL JJ, opposite the Hub Bowling Alley.

The injured were treated at Good Samaritan Hospital and then released. According to Ramapo Town Police, Maurice Shron, 40. of 2 Elaine Place, Spring Valley, was heading east on Route 59 when he started to turn into the bowling alley. He was hit in the rear by a car driven by Joseph Scordatl, 2b. of 12 Pascack Road, Spring Valley, and shoved into the left side of a third vehicle heading west and operated by John Tur-co, 29, of 29 Benson Parkway.

PARLEY ON BERLIN RAPPED BY JAVITS New York Senator Says Talks Are Demeaning To L'. S. Washington IP Senator Jacob K. Javits, N. said yesterday it is demeaning for the United States to keep asking Russia to discuss the Berlin problem.

In a Senate speech one of a series he has delivered in the same vein Javits said the Western Allies in Germany should work out a new policy among themselves for dealing with the Berlin problem. Javits said the Russians have refused so often to participate in any meaningful Berlin talks, that it demeans the United States to renew the request. "We must now consult with each other in order to develop some new policy on Berlin rather than just begging the Russians to come and confer, which they obviously do not want to do," Javits said. State Conservative "These are not times to form splinter groups. These are times to work together for a Republican team," he said.

"No Republican can be a member of a splinter party and at the same time be a Republican." The 47-year-old Miller, who announced his intention of seeking the position now held by Democrat Arthur Levitt, said that prior to his 12 years as treasurer, he served 13 years with the county highway department as an ae i countant and office manager. He has been president of the County Treasurers Association of New York State, a member of the Central Committee of the Na tional Committee on Government al Accounting, and a member of the Comptroller Advisory Council on New York State Employees Retirement System. MILKMAN KILLED IN TRUCK CRASH Hits Trailer Loaded With Hogs; Two Others Are Injured Eddystone. pa. (UPD-William E.

Humes. 38. of Prospect Park. as killed and two other men were injured yesterday in a collision between a milk truck and a tractor-trailer. Edward A.

Brand, 42, of Brook-haven, was admitted to Taylor Hospital. Ridley Park in serious condition. Melvin Lewis. 33. of Richmond, driver of the tractor-trailer, was held for X-rays.

Authorities said Brandt was teachit.g Humes the milk route when they collided with the tractor-trailer, splattering the highway with milk. The rig. loaded with hogs from Richmond, rebounded from the impact into a utility pole. The move was necessary, said the Board, because the previous grant was to carry the project through to a referendum tentatively set for next month; the date will be sometime before the end of the year and the office needs money to operate due to the extended project. Trustee Samuel Abate at first opposed the request, and said he wanted renewal director W'illiam Lamey to explain in detail the reasons for the increase.

He sug- bg A V. navfr uoiild he hark from vacation and could answer qucs- tions. STANDARD PROCEDURE John Bonkoiki, former renewal director who is now employed by the Urban Renewal Agency, said that the move was standard and that many contracts are amended several times before the project is initiated. Mayor John McAlevey said that the request first went to the H. H.

F. A. in early July and had been held up. The Mayor said the agency had refused to grant further advances to Sloatsburg because it had not been satisfied that the Village had not violated its contract last year when for-mer Trustee Dr. Leonard Benedetto, while still an official, had purchased property in the project area.

McAlevey said he submitted further information to the agency to the effect that Benedetto is no longer on the Board, and that the Village now had a Code of Ethics and the opinion of then Village Attorney George Tompkins. The federal agency was then satisfied that the contract had not been violated, McAlevey said. The Mayor said that when he was informed that the incident was being investigated he stopped further payments to Walter Fisher, ho had been hired to make the first acquisition appraisal on the renewal area. Fisher, explained McAlevey, was the brother-in-law of James Izzo. who had purchased the property with Benedetto.

NO OBJECTION The H. H. F. A. indicated that it did not object to Fisher receiving the rest of the money due him, about $1,500 of $3,000, McAlevey said.

The Board then authorized the payment to Fisher. A special meeting of the Board is scheduled for Tuesday at 8:30 P. when Lamey will detail the reasons for the amended con-( tract. A resident who had complained to the Board because a neighbor did not take his garbage can in side but left in on the curb apologized. He had understood that there was an ordinance prohibiting this.

The Board had since studied the ordinances, which had been adopted in 1943. and said there is no such stipulation. The Board noted that a general revision of the ordinances is under way, and that it is suggested that a regulation provide that garbage cans be taken inside within 8 hours from collection time. Trustee William Brentnall reported more complaints against garbage collector, the Able Construction because of houses and areas that were missed. He stated that the contractor did not have the funds or equipment to do the job, and said he would meet with again.

Brentnall and the contractor had conferred before, and the collector had pledged to improve his work. The last general rubbish collection of the year will be conducted Saturday the Board announced. The Board asked residents to hold those articles that could be burned, and to obtain a permit in late September or early October, when there is less danger of fire, to burn the rubbish.

GUNMAN GRABS $1,500 AT BANK Forces Women Tellers To Floor In Holdup At Pennsauften Pennsauken (CPI) A bandit held up two women tellers at the Fidelity Mutual Savings and Loan yesterday and fled with $4,500 after forcing them to lie on the floor. Miss Mary Ivins said the burly thug pointed a gun at hor and Mrs. Kathcrine O'Keefe and ordered them to put $10 and $20 bills in a bag he handed them.

He told them to be quiet but fast, and warned them nut to sound an alarm. 7Y 1 Sloatsburff Officials, Builder Fail To Agree On Laurel Road Drainage Trustee William Brentnall said he has been looking into the facts behind fluoridating water to prevent tooth decay in children, and suggested the policy be adopted In the Village. It has been recommended by the American Medical Association and the American Dental Association. It should cost the Village about $430 a year, he said. STRONG OPINIONS He 'noted people have strong opinions, both for and against the program, and said he would obtain further Information before offering a definite recommendation to the Board.

Mayor John McAlevey suggested that Brentnall pursue his study, but indicated that if and when sufficient information is ob-tained the question would be left up to the public. Recommendations for increasing the charges for water taps and the operation of the water department were submitted by Trustee William Abate. The report, he said, was based on work done by former Trustee Irving Livingston, who recently resigned. The average cost for a si-inch tap, based on labor and materials over a span of l'i years, is $122.54, said Abate. Since the rate has been $75, he said, and recommended it be increased to $120.

He recommended that the rate for 1-inch water tans be increased from $30 to $150. and that the rate for taps in excess of 1 inch be at the discretion of the Board. There are instances, Abate continued, where more than one residence is served by a single tap. In these instances, he suggested that a charge be made for each meter served. Where more than one family or apartment is served by a single meter, the Village can either install a meter for each unit or family, or charge a flat rate of $6.30 per apartment, residence or individual, with charges in excess of $6 30 being propor-tioned by the tenants or landlord, said Abate.

He recommended the flat rate. SUGGESTS $100 FINE The Trustee suggested that a fine of $100 be levied for tampering with meters, and that the meter dials be changed from round readings to straight readings at about 30 to 40 per year and that the meters be sealed. All meters should Te installed by the Sloatsburg Department of Public Works and only after they are installed should the water be turned on. Abate recommended. In some instances, he added, the Board may waive the latter point.

AMENDMENT NEEDED The current charges are in an ordinance. For the recommendations to be put into effect, the or-dinance will have to be amended, the Board said. At the next meeting it may set a date for a public hearing on the changes. The hassle goes on between McAlevey and the State Highway Department over sidewalks on the stretch of Seven Lakes Road which is being widened. The May.

or has been trying to get the State to put in sidewalks for the safety of children and residents. The department contended it could not do this, and asked for bids. McAlevey went to Governor Rockefeller when he could get no satisfaction from the regional office in Poughkeepsic, and pointed to the law which permits the State to install sidewalks at its expense, when it has created a hazard. Last night the Mayor read a letter from the Governor's secretary that the department has withdrawn the project from bidding but that it still contends it is against the law for it to put Sloatsburg Developer Walter Fisher turned down the compromise offer of the Village Board for acceptance of Pine Grove Lake roads, and last night the Board rejected his offer. The roads are stilL Fisher's responsibility and his $10,000 bond is still being held by the Village.

Two weeks ago the Board and attorney James J. Egan, representing Fisher, had agreed to reduce the bond to $3,000 provided the builder install drainage tile under Laurel Road, at which time the entire bond would be released and a maintenance bond be accepted on the roads. The Village could then take over Stony Brook and Laurel Roads. Egan wrote the Board that Fisher's road builder Ralph Roeo said the present drain was adequate except for damage last win- TWO TEAS GREET 15 NEW MEMBERS Sisterhood Of Center At Nanuet Explains Functions Of I nit Nanuet The Sisterhood of the Hebrew Center greeted 15 new members at teas Monday and yesterday.
