The black ties were worn by those who paid up to $750 a ticket to benefit the Martin Luther King Center for Non-Violent Social Change and watch singer Stevie Wonder and a score of other celebrities perform at Washington's Kennedy Center Monday night. The overalls were found on some of the hundreds of Wisconsin volunteers, led by Gov. Anthony S.

Earl, who used their day off to wade into snowy fields and help beleaguered farmers harvest corn. Around the nation, the day set aside for the civil rights activist assassinated in 1968 was marked by protest marches, prayers, pealing bells, speeches and renewed pledges to continue King's work. Fifteen thousand people marched down Atlanta's streets after a three-hour ecumenical service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King once was pastor. Earlier, King's son Dexter laid a wreath at his father's tomb, and the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference challenged the nation to move toward complete racial equality. "In the name of Martin, we ain't going back," said the Rev.

Joseph Lowery, head of the organization that King founded. "We've come too far, we've worked too strenuously, we've marched too long, we've prayed too hard, we've wept too bitterly, we've bled too profusely and we've died too young." Lowery joined Vice President George Bush, South African Bishop Desmond Tutu, Sen. Edward Kennedy, Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and members of King's family at the service "You might have killed the dreamer, but you did not kill the dream," Dellums, a California Democrat, told 2,500 marchers lining the steps of the Legislative Building in Olympia, Wash. Philadelphia's Mayor W. Wilson Goode told thousands gathered for a nine-hour ecumenical service, "Because Dr.

King marched to protest injustice I can stand here as the mayor of the fifth-largest city in America." Chicago Mayor Harold Washington, who also is black, credited the Nobel Peace prize winner for his election as well. In San Francisco, 60,000 people cheered at Civic Center Plaza when Mayor Dianne Feins-tein, speaking beneath a double rainbow of colored balloons, said the realization of King's dream will be "a black American in the White House." Benjamin Hooks, executive director of the National Association i or the Advancement of Colored People reminded a packed house at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, "More people started following Dr. King the night he died than ever followed him during his life. Many of us have forgotten that just before his death, there was talk that his movement had come to an end." In Memphis, the town in which King was slain April 4, 1968, the Rev. James Smith -said at a'nremorial service that young people tooffipe'abbut the civil rights movement." loofeat South Africa and they can't believe it," he said.

For the flamboyant Regine, 55, Monday's award caps a career begun in the 1950s as a barmaid in a Left Bank club. "Nightclub work is seen by some as ambiguous and superficial," she said. "For years, I have simply tried to make it a profession and to run business which, I'm happy to say, has been a success." Culture Minister Jack Lang alluded to Regine's flight from the Nazis, calling it an experience "you carry with you every day of your life.

But your enthusiasm for life and your fighting spirit have carried you through." Sir Richard Attenborough, the British director of "Ghandi," "A Bridge Too Far," and the current "A Chorus Line," was made Commander of Arts and Letters in a ceremony Sunday at the Paris Cinemateque, currently sponsoring a retrospective of his work.

AP) Unionized workers at Greyhound Lines Inc. have rejected a proposed contract that would have frozen wages for four years and protected some jobs, a union member who had fought the pact said Monday night. The contract was turned down by a vote of 4,600 to 3,202, said James Cushing-Murray of Los Angeles Local 1222 of the Amalgamated Council of Greyhound Local Unions. The proposed contract had sparked a lawsuit by Cushing-Murray and dissident union members who alleged rank-and-file workers were misled about its impact. Hearings on the suit had been scheduled for Thursday in U.S.

District Court in Phoenix. Although the votes had been cast by mail late last year, the count had been stalled by the lawsuit until Monday. Cushing-Murray, reached by telephone at the Scottsdale motel where he was staying, said after the vote was counted that his group would drop its suit. A contract that had been scheduled to expire on Oct. 31, 1986, remains in effect, Cushing-Murray said.

Union representatives will stay in Scottsdale a few more days to discuss bargaining strategy, he said. In a statement issued after the vote count, Greyhound officials said the company "will have to study the situation in light of the vote and take those actions which are necessary for the well-being of Greyhound Lines in the future." Company officials would wait for a month to reveal what actions they plan to take, Greyhound spokeswoman Dorothy Lorant said "Monday night. "Our immediate reaction is that the people have had the opportunity to vote on their own destiny, and that is important to us. It is positive that they considered the offer and had a chance to choose," the statement said. Cushing-Murray said he was pleased that the workers turned down the proposed contract, and he said he was glad that the matter would not have to go to court.
