PEACE CORPS CALLER. Thomas Dugan of Greenvale, inspector general for the United States Peace Corps, briefs a group at Hofstra College yesterday on the Peace Corps in the windup of a week-long drive to recruit new members. The first such drive in the eastern United States, its aim is to fill the increased demand for volunteers and the necessity of finding replacements for Peace Corps workers who completed their service. City Official Gives the Hook To Free Drinks in Theater By Stuart Dim New York- was curtains for free drinks last night at the Little Theater. Theatergoers have given rave reviews to the give-away drinks, but License Commissioner Bernard J.

O'Connell panned the idea yesterday by ruling it was illegal. Broadway patrons who flocked to the theater's basement for free whiskey last night were greeted by a gloomy bartender who Village Zoning Fight Sparks Picket Plan Lake Success Residents planned to picket the village hall today in protest of 3 proposed ordinance to change the zoning on a 54-acre plot from residential to industrial. The village board is to conduct a hearing on the proposed ordinance at 8 PM Monday at the Great Neck South Junior High School. The tract involved is on the north side of Marcus Avenue, bounded on the east by New Hyde Park Road, on the west by Lakeville Road and on the north by the Northern State Parkway. The village board passed an ordinance Sept.

16 to change the zoning on the tract from residential to industrial. But the Nassau Planning Commission rejected the ordinance because it provided that, whenever the property began being used by industry, all traffic from the site would use New Hyde Park Road, a county road, rather than village roads. The village board then redrew the ordinance to provide that traffic from the site would use Marcus Avenue and Lakeville Road. It is this proposal that will be discussed at Monday night's hearing. Residents feel the proposed zoning will greatly decrease property values.

in Theater offered them a raincheck for another day, maybe. "The law is pretty clear that vou can't give away drinks in a theater," a spokesman for O'Connell said. "The commissioner has right to give permission to theater owners to sell or give away liquor providing that a higher body like the State Liquor Authority has given them permission to do it." The SLA does not allow the sale of liquor in theaters. In addition, O'Connell's spokesman said that Roger Euster, 31, owner of the Little Theater at 240 W. 44th never formally applied for permission to give away drinks during intermission of the current attraction, "Tambourines to Glory." Euster opened a bar in the basement of the theater last week without publicity in an attempt to bolster sagging attendance at the Langston Hughes' play about religious racketeering.

Yesterday, as O'Connell rang the final curtain down on the free-drink plan, Euster preferred to call it a moratorium and vowed to fight the ruling. "The SLA said this is not in their jurisdiction," Euster said. "No one wants to make a decision. If we want to give something away free he (O'Connell) shouldn't be able to stop us. Tonight we gave away rain checks to our patrons until we can work this out with Mr.

O'Connell." By way of explanation, O'Connell's spokesman said: a restaurant opened up and announced it would give away 300 cocktails each night, it would be illegal also because the SLA doesn't allow it." Meanwhile, Euster promised that no drinks- except the soft kind- would be allowed in the Little Theater at least until he has a meeting Monday with O'Connell. Should the ruling stick, what will Euster do? "To protest I think I will offer the patrons of the Booth Theater across the street free drinks at Sardi's." He explained that he has no financial connection with either the Booth Theater or Satdi's. "Maybe this will point up the need for a change in the Idle- Scheme Brings Fine Mineola- draftsman was fined $250 yesterday for collecting unemployment benefits while operating his own business. Judge John Daly imposed the fine on Frank J. Rodgers, 38, who gave his address as 190 Commonwealth Franklin Square.

Louis Sitkin, chief investigator for the employment division of the State Labor Department, urged Daly to impose a large fine and jail sentence, as a deterrent to others. "The substantial number of chiselers are of this sort," he said, "businessmen who are in business for themselves and feel that, since their wages are not reported, they can get away with this sort of thing." But Daly said he saw no reason to send Rodgers to jail. He ordered Rodgers to return the $687.50 he received and fined him $250..
