Nonetheless, Nott said, "Mrs. Thatcher's achievement is immense. I don't have any doubt that she will be shown to be the greatest prime minister since the war one of the greatest prime ministers this century.

"The achievement which would, I think, mark it out as being more than exceptional is if she knows when to leave." Sir John Hoskyns, who headed Thatcher's policy unit and is now director general of the Institute of Directors, said in another BBC interview: "She was deliberately unreasonable, emotional, excitable instead of being calm and consensus-seeking. She used the fact that she was a woman very powerfully to get her way." Thatcher, in an interview yesterday with the domestic news agency Press Association, said what she enjoyed most about being prime minister was "the feeling of being at the center of things and having some influence on them. The formation of new policies to me has always been the most exciting thing." In 1988, she said, she wants to grapple with the growing number of cases of cruelty to children, see a greater respect for the law and greater pride in keeping Britain clean. Age only wants to make her do more, she said. "The fact is, the older you get the more interested in the future you become because you are so anxious to make your own contribution for succeeding generations and the time you have to do it diminishes." Notices 001 Death Notices Thatcher's long LONDON (AP) Margaret Thatcher became Britain's longest continuously serving prime minister of the 20th century yesterday, but said she was too busy to celebrate.

President Reagan lauded her as a treasured friend. Former Cabinet ministers criticized her as being ruthless and bossy. Thatcher paid scant heed. She said she wanted to get on with three important tasks making Britain a key player in world peacemaking, restoring traditional British standards of honesty and courtesy, and extending the benefits of capitalism to more Britons. "The eight years and 244 days have gone very quickly indeed, and there is so much more still to do," she told reporters and a small crowd of sightseers during a brief appearance on the steps of her official 10 Downing St.

residence. The 62-year-old Conservative Party leader, who overtook Liberal Lord Herbert Henry Asquith's 1908-1916 tenure as prime minister, won a third five-year term in June and appears unassailable in the face of fragmented opposition. She said during the election campaign that she wants to "go on and on," to entrench capitalism and ensure that socialism is wiped out forever as a political force in Britain. In the latest Market and Opinion Research poll published in The Sunday Times, her Conservative Party had the support of 48 percent of respondents, with the socialist Labor Party at 36 percent and the centrist Alliance at 15 percent. Even her critics agree that Britain's first woman prime minister, now the longest-serving leader in the Western alliance, has changed the PREVIOUS DEATHS 001 Death Notices McCARNEY tenure provokes irr A Margaret Thatcher "So much more still to do.

face of Britain since she came to power in 1979. Most Britons are better off two-thirds are homeowners, and 8 million are stockholders but the poor are poorer, and unemployment, though down from a 1983 record of 13 percent, is still 9.5 percent. Those who have worked with Thatcher had widely differing opinions of her leadership. Reagan said in a pre-recorded interview for a British Broadcasting Corp. TV program to be broadcast tonight that theirs is "a friendship that I treasure very much.

It is just a wonderful relationship. "I've noticed that without any preplanning, we usually seem to wind up on the same side of a subject." Sir John Nott, who was defense secretary during the 1982 Falklands War, said in an interview for thei BBC program that Thatcher needed people around her to restrain her "from going over the top." i 001 Death Notices 001 Death of Funeral Service Mon. at 2 p.m. If desired, memorial contributions may be made to the Providence Presbyterian Church In America, 77 Philips Lane, Robinson PA 15136 MORREALE On Jan. 3, 1988, Michael; beloved husband of the late Pauline father of Charles Morreale, Ellssa Sunserl, Marlon Lincoln and p.m.

Anna and Luther Thomasvllle, and received New York Times News Service WASHINGTON New evidence of the way chemicals cause cancer is leading the Environmental Protection Agency to reassess the risks of many of the substances it regulates, and it is finding some of them less dangerous than it previously believed. The agency's new risk estimates are based on recent research on the degree of human exposure to toxic substances and how those substances enter and affect the body.

This research, evolving over recent years, has persuaded agency analysts that many of their previous conclusions, which relied largely on simple extrapolations from the effect of toxic substances on laboratory animals, did not reflect what effect these chemicals had on people. The agency said it believes that the earlier tests represented the best scientific efforts of the time. But emerging research techniques, which still rely heavily on the testing of laboratory animals, enable scientists to develop more sophisticated models of how cancer is caused. Dr. Peter W.

Preuss, chairman of the EPA's Risk Assessment Forum, said: "Ten years ago the risk assessments were too crude; they went in too much of a straight line. "We now have a fair amount of 001 Death Notices 001 Death Notices BAUMAN On Sat Jan. 2, 1588.

We have information on how much of a chemical people are exposed to actually reaches the parts of the body where it can do harm and how the chemical exerts itself on the mechanisms that cause cancer." And John A. Moore, the agency's assistant administrator for pesticides and toxic substances, said, "Over time we have developed a better insight into what the tumor response in animals means in terms of man." In some cases, he said, when a test animal develops cancer it means the chemical can cause cancer in humans. But recent knowledge shows, he said, that in some cases what happened to a mouse has no relationship to human cancer.

The new estimates of the risk of such chemicals as dioxin and arsenic will help answer such questions as: How much of certain chemicals will be allowed in drinking water? What is the proper way to dispose of incinerator waste? How thoroughly must an abandoned hazardous waste site be cleaned up? The new assessment also will affect where the EPA concentrates its resources.

Friends Tues. 2-4 and 7-9 officials said the re-evaluation was long overdue. However, others cited the action as evidence that the environmental agency was moving away from a long-standing conservative approach to the risks of toxic chemicals, and they complain that the emerging scientific knowledge does not justify such a step. The agency is required by the 1972 federal pesticides law to review all pesticides that were on the market before the law went into effect, some 600 basic chemicals in all.
