researchers on government projects, are accused of espionage, conspiracy and theft in connection with the leak to By MONICA LANZA Herald-News Staff Writer HACKENSACK One ecological recommendation for the restoration of Berry's Creek was given yesterday by Dr. Jack S. McCormick, a prominent ecologist who had been hired to compile a draft impact assessment of the 750-acre sports complex site in East Rutherford. In his second day of cross-examination by T. i a Wharton, attorney for the public interest, McCormick testified at length on the ecological balance of the tidal marshlands now and the impact on them by the proposed complex.

McCormick was testifying before the hearing officers of -the Hackensack Meadow-lands Development Commission and the State Department of Environmental Protection in Hackensack on his 222-page impact assessment. The quasi-legislative hearing, mandated by the Supreme Court to decide the impact on the environment by the complex, is proceeding at a snail's pace, with five of the six attorneys contesting the complex, relishing their day in court. The attorneys permitted to question the witnesses for the Sports Authority are: Wharton; Alfred A. Porro, representing the Audubon Society; Frederick C. Mezey for the N.J.

Could be worse However, he stated, should the state decide not to build the complex and industry "were to continue its growth in accord with local zoning regulations, the effect on the environment would be many times worse than if the land were used for the complex. McCormick said: "By nature I'm opposed to building on a tidal marsh but the sports complex would be no worse and without question, much better than the existing uses on the site." He categorized the condition of the area as "very deplorable, unconfined, uncontrolled and absolutely disgusting," and lauded the Sports Authority for being the only body to attempt to reclaim it.

Left to nature, the marsh would not improve, he said, but the heavy deposits of chronium, arsenic, lead and copper would be deposited in the food web of aquatic life, waterfowl, and ultimately humans. Qualities unaffected McCormick also testified that even with construction, the marsh area would still be effective in water absorption during floods and heavy rain periods. If granular fill is used, he said, even though covered by blacktop parking areas, the absorption qualities would be unaffected. A t-4he-conclusionofihe-day's testimony, Wharton objected to the continuation of environmental studies now being conducted by the state. "Are we to have further hearings when the final report comes in?" he asked.

"We should have the right to question new findings." Malcolm Zlotkin, hearing moderator, noted that the draft impact assessment compiled by McCormick is subject to modifications, and would incorporate worthwhile concepts developed during the hearing. Chandless also objected. "You can not do this," he said. "We have a right to a hearing on anything added to it. This is a mockery." Earlier in the day, Mezey was asked by James C.

Pitney, Sports Authority attorney, if it were his intention to suggest an alternate site for. the complex. Mezey directed a lengthy cross examination of Pitney's first witness, in the area of site selection. Mezey said that the draft impact assessment regarding air quality is insufficient and should be rejected. "Our position is that insufficient study was given to alternatives in regard to using this site or any site in the area.

We plan to offer alternatives in treatment of the site rather than in regard to iocation." KIDS COOL IT Andr it wasn't easy in yesterday's hot muggy weather.

Edward Kennedy's appearance at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night marked the start of his drive for president, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said yesterday. "What we really saw there last night was the launching of the Kennedy campaign in 1976," said Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan. He claimed Kennedy's appearance overshadowed speeches by the Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern and his running mate, Sen. Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo.

1 Kennedy, who' turned down the vice presidential spot when it was offered by McGovern, introduced McGovern to the convention. Dole told reporters Eagleton would do little to help balance the Democratic ticket, saying the Missouri senator was "more liberal than McGo-, vern." He said Eagleton had a better rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action and had voted against more defense measures than McGovern. Dole said a number of highranking party leaders had turned down offers to be McGovern's running mate, i he said shows that mahy leading Democrats have little regard for McGovern as a nominee. i 1 -t Fischer loses appeal 'and could lose cash Mr VV-fc 41 sack, and William Gorgone for East Rutherford.

Porro was permitted to ques-t i McCormick yesterday morning in relation to the location of industrial sites existing in the sports complex acreage. McCormick's testimony yesterday bore out a contention by Chandless that Berry's Creek is "a rat-infested open sewer." McCormick said that per-haps Berry's Creek should be cul verted. "Maybe we should treat it like a sewer, because it is a sewer," he said. recommendation to the hearing officers, however was that the polluted muck from the creek should be 'skimmed, treated with fixing agent, and used as fill for construction on the site.

The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear, staying in his hotel suite, because he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall. Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was 2-0 in the 24-game series, lie needs 10 more points to retain "the title. A victory counts one point and a draw half a point.

Fischer agreed to go ahead with the match if the cameras were removed, although the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess to offer a record $125, 0 0 0 purse for the two OFF Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic federation, said that if the-match was stopped by Fischer's disqualification the organizers would not pay the loser's share. This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but a great sum of money. As the loser he would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45 ,00 0 from a purse of about $120,000 offered British financier James -Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but "nothing could have been farther from the facts." He i 1 had told Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras, the knowledge that they were there made him nervous. In his letter, however, he asserted: VThe bungling un knowns who claimed to be professional" cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful.

The only thing-invisible, silent and out of sight was the fairness of the pari of the Pay cutoff point put above $1.90 WASHINGTON (AP) A federal judge yesterday ordered the Cost of Living Council to raise its wage control cutoff point above $1.90 per hour. The order affects about 14 million, workers. U.S. District Judge William B. Jones, in the first successful court challenge to Pres.

ident Nixon's stabilization program, ordered the council to abandon its $1.90 per hour cutoff point beyond which raises are limitecTto 5.5 per cent. Agreeing with labor unions, which charged that the cutoff point was too low, Jones said the council exceeded its- authority in setting and enforcing the $1.90 limit. The Cost of Living Council, which had no immediate reaction to the decision, had estimated earlier that about 14 million workers are being paid between $1.90 and $3.35 an hour. Jones, in his 20-page opinion and order, did not spell out precisely how much money a person must make to come under the 5.5 per cent-a-year limit. But he suggested that $3.63 an hour; which, figures out to about $7,000 a year for a family of four, would be reasonable.

Lubetkin, chief engineer for the Passaic Val- ley Sewerage Commissioners, was one of 38 persons who gave testimony at a public hearing on ocean disposal control regulations conducted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) at Monmouth College yesterday, lubetkin said the commissioners agree that sludge disposal in the New York coastal areas has reached the point wnere there is an absence of normal benth-ic life (meaning that life which exists where there is no sludge or other deposition). "We know we have created a 'junk yard' and altered the life cycle in this area. We certainly cannot agree regarding the effect of the proposed alternate, deep sea disposal The deep-sea disposal would mean towing barges would have to venture out to the 115-mile mark before waste could be dumped. Several speakers noted there has been a drop in food processing production of sea foods because shell fish, clams and fish have proven to be contaminated or no longer available inside the 12-mile limit Among those favoring the proposed regulations was the American Littoral Society. Bennett, conservation director for the society based at Sarfdy Hook, said the organization "supports the New Jersey Ocean Disposal Control Regulations and urges their adoption." William L.

Speed stressed on flood relief WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon Administration yesterday told public officials from states stricken by flooding of tropical storm Agnes that Congress will be asked to give speedy approval for $1.7 billion emergency flood relief programs, "It is vital that his money reach you immediately," Vice President Spiro T.

Agnew, who toured the flood-ravaged slates on orders from the President, said he saw a "bleak picture of tragedy and dislocation." said the "destruction was appalling but the response was heartening.
