Getting Into Training With Dukakis By Clem Richardson How many politicians can you stuff into a IRT subway car at rush hour? One, if hes presidential candidate Maasachu-setts Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, accompanied by 100 reporters, police and sometimes grim staffers, who learned the hard way yesterday. "Believe me, I'm moving on faith, said James R. Dorsey, Dukakis press secretary, who appeared leas than thrilled as the group trudged from Tim Square shuttle to the Grand Central platform.

Earlier, Dukakis, a candidate for the Democratic nomination, spoke at Penn Station, where he and his entourage had arrived from Boston on a highspeed Amtrak turbo train, which Dukakis is back ing as a safe, efficient alternative to air travel. "You have to be a candidate for national office for the last six months and traveled all over the country as I have to appreciate how bad air travel is in this country, Dukakis shouted over the humms, clangs and hisses of trains at Penn Station. The sleek experimental engine, one of four being considered by the Coalition of Northeastern Governors for a prototype "bullet train system, moved at 110 mph and covered the trip in three hours and 46 minutes, including a slow stretch on bad tracks near Providence, Dukakis said. Pitch done, Dukakis and Transit Authority President David Gunn, followed a phslr of police and backpedaling photographers through rush-hour foot traffic onto the uptown IRT local platform at Penn Station. The idea was to show it was possible to travel door-to-door by rail, Dorsey said.

To begin the trip, Dukakis had taken the Boston subway. With police help, they squeezed onto a train for the quick trip to Times Square. Forward progress ground to a halt in the 5 p.m. Times Square traffic. A shuttle ride and some fleshpressing later, the group boarded the East Side local.

Shortly afterward, Dukakis was ambling into the back door of the Waldorf-Astoria, 63 minutes after ending his news conference crosstown. ap Photo Ex-White House Aide in Court Former White House aide Lyn Nofziger, center, arrives yesterday at U.S. District Court yesterday in Washington.

Asbestos Dumping Alleged By Carmel McCoubrey and Phil Mintz A trucking firm has been illegally storing and handling dangerous asbestos removed from city schools at its facility in Medford, L.I., Brookhaven town officials charged yesterday.

Town investigators, who monitored Big Apple Leasing Corp. for four months, said they saw the highly toxic asbestos, usually in powder form, sometimes being mishandled by employees who did not wear required protective clothing and devices. On one evening, town officials say 65,000 pounds of asbestos was dumped at the site. Asbestos was transferred from the required yellow bags that identify hazardous waste into unmarked garbage bags at the facility and then into unmarked trucks, Brookhaven Deputy Supervisor Peter Scully said at a press conference yesterday. On occasion, the officials said, asbestos which is extremely dangerous when inhaled spilled from the bags into the air.

The town obtained a temporary restraining order from State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Saladino, barring the firm from using the storage yard as a solid waste dump, and from transporting waste from outside the town. A hearing on a permanent injunction is scheduled for Wednesday in State Supreme Court in Riverhead, L.I. Town officials also issued 60 summonses to the firm, and its president, Patrick Ball, yesterday morning, for transporating asbestos without a permit, littering, and creating an illegal landfill. A woman who answered the phone at the firms offices yesterday quoted Ball, 44, of Centereach, L.I., as saying company officials would have no comment on the allegations. The allegations against the company mum after a four-month probe by town and state Department of Environmental Conservation investigators.

Town officials said the DEC is planning to file its own charges against the Medford firm. They did not say how the probe originated. Ball was charged last year with racketeering for allegedly being involved, along with 9 other defendants, in a 55-million scheme to illegally dump tons of construction debris from the city in New Jersey. That operation allegedly thrived on huge bribes paid to North Bergen, officials by waste haulers. The status of that case could not be learned last night.

Commercial Loses Some Steam the surf, a woman lying on her back and swallowing a strawberry and a couple taking a shower. The opening vignette, and perhaps most sexually explicit scene, showed a woman in bed in a suggestive poee. The edited version showed her from the waist up. "The best advertising is subtle, Ries said. "If youre too forceful, people trad to reject you, like a pushy salesperson.

Commercials showing partly undressed people will be accepted "as long as its tasteful and compatible with the product and not overly suggestive, he said.

Of the two dozen or so quick-cut vignettes of people demonstrating what sexy is, nine were rejected by the networks. Only one of the nine showing a woman wearing a flimsy negligee was ultimately dropped. Creative editing resolved objections to the other scenes, including a couple rolling in Continued from Page 9 down include the first live model shown in a bra (Playtex), a woman slipping off a bra from under her sweater (Maiden form), a man jumping out of bed nd into his clothes (Fab detergent), a man slowly moving an ice cube southward from a womans neck (Revlons Intimate). And, of course, there are the commercials for Obsession fragrance from Calvin Klein, generally credited for the onset of the sexploitation era with his 1980 jeans commercials starring a then Lolita-like Brooke Shields. But television is only mirroring society in what is acceptable, both in programing and commercials, said A1 Ries of Trout Ries, a New York advertising and marketing agency.

"Ten years ago, people didn't admit they lived together, let alone say so on television, Ries said. 'Things are getting sexier, and television has to match the feelings of the population." Television, though, is a follower of trends, not a leader, said George Schweitzer, communications director at Young Rubicam, the giant advertising agency, nd a former vice president at CBS Television. "The networks have to please a broad range of tastes and interests, Schweitzer said.
