But the public never needed more than one word for her "Tallulah." Tallulah Bankhead died of pneumonia yesterday in St. Luke's Hospital. The star of "Lifeboat" and more recently "Die! Die! My Darling" in the movies, and of "The Little Foxes," "The Skin of Our Teeth" and countless other plays on Broadway and In London, had been ill only a few days with the flu and emphysema. With her at her death were her sister, Eugenia, and her nephew, William Brockmani have grown up with the throaty voice that became a trademark; and they tried to cure her of the ego that in childhood produced fearful tantrums and, grown up, made her one of the most unpredictable and interesting women alive.

GIRLS PROTEST IS SLACKED OFF CALDWELL UP) Students of Caldwell College for Women conducted a day-long demonstration yesterday in graduation caps and gowns in an effort to gain the right to wear slacks to classes. However, at day's end, it appeared the girls had given up their demand.

"Following a meeting with 400 girls, we have decided to return to school tomorrow wearing regular dress," said Mary Jo Mul-lin, student association president. "The demonstration is over hopefully." The white-robed Dominican sisters who run the school declined to discuss the protest. "The problem is pants," admitted Miss Rita Flynn, public relations director. "I'm very sure the problem was resolved today." From Pg) 1 sociatinn (NJEA) would he against it, because they want more money." A total of 24 persons testified yesterday, with 18 of them favoring the Income tax ban. Opponents Gathering However, those against the proposal represented influential pressure while those supporting it were speaking for smaller groups or for themselves.

For example, the NJEA termed the proposed constitutional amendment "the height of irresponsibility." "It would be sheer folly for the Legislature or the people to rule out the one single tax that could restore balance and equity to our state and local tax policies," said S. Herbert Star-key, NJEA director of research. "The income tax may be needed and soon to prevent further inequities and hardships resulting from our reliance upon forms of taxation that deal so harshly with our low-income families and so lightly with those who are affluent." Women's Group Opposed The League of Women Voters called for the measure to be given "the treatment it deserves a quiet burial." Mrs. John McCall, a league director, pointed out that the Legislature has already approved various programs that will require new revenue sources probably an income tax within the next three or four years. She predicted a budget deficit of more than $200 million by the 1970-71 fiscal year.

"To prohibit an income tax constitutionally would put New Jersey in a serious bind, she Jt unconscionable in the light of the fact that the Legislature nas aireaay approved programs that have mandated the need for more revenue." The New Jersey League of Municipalities, which represents 550 municipalities, said the proposal would put the state "in a very precarious financial position." Sees Action Unwise Russell T. Wilson, Hacken-sack, chairman of the league's Tax Study Committee, said the organization was not advocating an income tax, but believes it would be unwise to rule it out forever as a source of revenue. "I know that everyone in this room and in this state would earnestly like to see a constitutional restriction placed not only on the imposition of an income tax but also, on every form of taxation," he said. "But the hard facts are that we don't live in a dream world where that would be possible." Others Join Opposition Other large organizations opposing the measure included the New Jersey Federation of District Board of Education and the New Jersey Council of Churches. Ironically, the New Jersey Taxpayers Association came out against the proposed ban, while much of the support came from representatives of local taxpayers' organizations.

At least seven persons representing local taxpayers groups primarily from Hunterdon, Somerset and Union counties favored the constitutional amendment, calling for an end to further taxation. They said the people were fed up with taxes, and would stand for no more. Cutbacks Urged Many supporters called for a cutback in state spending, and an end to so-called welfare pro-crams. Some said the Legisla ture could begin the cutback by abolishing the Department of Community Affairs. Mr.

Smith also is the sponsor of bills to abolish the Departments of Community Affairs and Higher Education. The measures received little support in the Legislature. One of the most vigorous advocates of the income tax ban was Richard Solyom, Fort Lee, state chairman of the Liberty Amendment Committee a nationwide group seeking to amend the U.S. Constitution to do away with the federal income tax and restrict federal program to those specifically provided for in the Constitution. Holding a copy of "The Communist Manifesto" in his raised hand, he quoted the second-most important step in the Communist plan for world dom ination as "a heavy progressive or graduated income tax." "Now I don't believe the people of New Jersey want to follow Karl Marx and turn theirs into a socialistic state," he declared.

"If the government of this state confines itself to the proper functions of government, there will be no need for an income When asked later by a newsman how many New Jersey residents belonged to his organization, Mr. Solyom "I'm not going to tell you mat.

Czecli Workers Vow to Strike PRAGUE 00 Czechoslovak workers threatened today a general strike for the first time since the Soviet invasion in Au-gust. Prace, newspaper of the nation's trade unions, carried a letter from Prague workers threatening the use of "all means available to the working class, including a general strike," if the progressive president of the National Assembly, Josef Smrkovsky is ousted from the Communist party leadership.

The paper reviewed recent Soviet actions snubbing Smrkovsky and expressed fear that his position was being undermined. University students also planned strikes and other protest actions if Smrkovsky is ousted. Court Racks Hotehner ALBANY, N.Y.

Bankhead 2nd, named for Tal-lulah's father, who was speaker of the House and served in Congress for a quarter-century. The granddaughter of one UiB. senator and the niece of Almost Lost Name Tallulah got the worst advice of her life from Ethel Barry-more when the young Alabama girl who had made a hit in London as a sexy flapper came to Hollywood in 1931 with a movie contract.

Miss Barry-more suggested she change her first name because it wasn't suitable for the movies. Aunt Marie and Grandma Bankhead, who took care of lit tle Tallulah after her mother died, also came close to spoil ing her career. They tried to cure her of the chronic croup and laryngitis without which she would never "That's why we moved from New Egypt, because of the noise from the planes at McGuire." But she paused and added, "It might be good in some ways. I used to live in West Virginia and we moved here because there just wasn't much work down there." Fears Noise, Crashes Gustav Schmidt, an Allentown bakery owner since 1922, lined up with opponents along with Mrs. Frances Schlottman, Allentown, who was apprehensive because of "reports of noise and accidents in other places." Anybody in his right mind doesn't want any jetport around here," Mr.

Schmidt said. "The area has changed a little since I opened the bakery, but people don't notice it much. If the jetport came in the whole borough would be different in a short time, and I don't think too many people would like that." Mrs. Ruth Swope, owner of a general store on Clarksburg road, Millstone Township, didn't anticipate much change In the area of her business, however. "It won't affect the farmland that much either," she said, "because, our farmers are selling out anyway now because of the high cost of labor and materials.

Some Agreement Found Mrs. Timko, although a jetport opponent, had agreed on that, score. "Actually, it won't hurt the potato crop or the farmers because they are getting hurt, period," she said. "It would be to their advantage because they wouldn't be hurt anymore by expenses and could move out." Of all the reactions, studied and stymied, only one carried a definite anticipatory note of personal pleasure. "I've flown a plane twice already," said Margaret Gilli-land, an eighth grader in Allentown.

"And I think a lot of peo ple around here would like flying too." She also held out hope the jetport would include facilities for the local Civil Air Patrol which her fatrer commands. Mexico Regit i ns Old Land Today EL PASO, Tex. dynamite blast set off by President Johnson and President Diaz Ordaz of Mexico diverts the Rio Grande and reshapes the U.S.Mexico border today to end a century-old boundary fuss.

Kennedy in 1962. The dispute over the boundary through the dry, bush country of El Chamizal dates back to a series of floods starting in 1852 that changed the ITio Grande's course. DOCTOR SUGGESTS ORGAN STOCKPILE NEW YORK Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, who performed two of the earliest heart transplant operations, says that any organs remaining in good shape after death should be saved for possible transplants. "It is not right," Kantrowitz said yesterday, "to bury other good organs when a man dies.

They should be considered part of the nation's natural resources and used for the living." Kantrowitz, director of surgery at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, testified before the Temporary Commission on Vital Organ Transplants. State Supreme Court Jus- i tice J. Irwin Shapiro, commission chairman, said a chief aim is to establish safeguards so the desire for a heart does not hasten a finding of death, when death has nnl occurred." yesterday.

21. Asked whether it was usual for the IRS to revise its interpretation of a law worked out in conference committee when a single senator objected, an IRS spokesman said: "We don't take the word of one person. But when we are pressed to pursue the law and a second look convinces us they are right, we'll change it." Disputing the IRS interpreta tion, the Senate lawyer who worked on the measure said, "There never was any intent as far as I can recall that states must pass new' laws, but I couldn't be sure without seeing a transcript of the record. I know it never came up in con ference."

JETPORT From Page 1 cepiaoie trom a local standpoint, we have to face up to the possibility of permitting a local veto to kill every site." He said the study being conducted by his department is nearly finished, but said he does not want to comment on it until the complete details can be released. When the committee present-ed its report three months ago, Gov.

Hughes promptly turned it over to the department for an independent analysis. The committee's original choice was the McGuire-Lake-hurst area of Ocean and Burlington counties. But its consultant, Albert E. Blomquist of East Amwell Township, disclosed two days ago that the committee now considers the Allentown area as the best possible location. Primarily in Millstone The area being considered apparently lies within Upper Freehold and Millstone townships, primarily, in the latter municipality.

The consultant described it only as generally between Roosevelt and the Wrightstown-Freehold road. Mr. Blomquist said the com-mitte switched its recommendation for two reasons; The Allentown site would permit large-scale industrial and commercial development of the surrounding It would provide a shorter travel time to metroDolitan New York and Philadelphia. The committee estimates it would take 67 minutes to drive from there to the Lincoln Tun nel. In the committee's view, the proposed jetport would provide an economic boom to the area In which it is located.

The western Monmouth area, which is largely rural farmland. would be ideal for such a broad development plan. Military Land Cited On the other hand, the Mc- Guire-Lakehurst site comprises a considerable amount of mili tary land. Even if the federal government would give up some of the property for a jetport. the site would still be bordered on three sides by unusea-ble military land.

Despite the influential status of the governor's committee which is made up of leading businessmen and industrialists its plans for the jetport must still overcome a number of roadblocks. For example, the McGuire-Lakehurst area has been criti cized by the Port of New York Authority and 15 major airlines, which feel it would be too distant from the people who would use such a facility. The committee has conceded that the economic success of a new jetport depends on the cooperation of the airlines. North Jersey Favored The airlines and the port authority favor sites in northern New Jersey, but these have been ruled out in the past because of concerted local opposition. When the committee report was issued, Ocean County officials expressed strong objections to building it in the Mc-Guire-Lakehurst area.

A bill was introduced in the Legislature this year to set up a jetport authority to build the massive facility. Some lawmakers, including Assemblyman Joseph Azzolina, R-Monmouth, are planning to press for pas-sage next year. Theft Yields Coin ATLANTA, Ga.

Berg echoed another point made by the committee in calling the local choice logical because of its equally reasonable highway links to Philadelphia and New York. To the southwest, closer' yet to the proposed site, a tiny settlement called Imlaystown stretches along a short street and stops at Salter's Mill an historical place which claims a link to Abraham Lincoln through the family tree of the former mill owner's son in law. The post office is the little Upper Freehold Township community's common room, opinions ranged yesterday on the jetport proposition. It was simple enough for Mrs. Nancy Hinds, Water who finds Imlaystown "pretty dull now." "I think it would be wonderful," she said.

"It would bring some excitement and action to the town." Farmer Is Cryptic A farmer who declined to be Identified laughed and cryptically tossed the proposal off, remarking: "Let 'er come. We're flying high now." On the other hand, a woman who also declined to be identified, complained "We've got enough noise around Imlaystown already." Down the street, meanwhile, a schoolboy chopped at ice on the pond while two others waited to run for their skates if it was thick enough. The only other sound was a dog barking on the other side. But there is, in fact, more noise to be found in the sparsely populated area, and ironically enough it's the noise of airplanes. Three large planes flew slow-lv over the township less than an hour later in close procession, apparently headed toward McGuire Air Force Base.

Planes Draw Complaints They fly over Allentown, too, and Mrs. Bcrnyce Van Kirk, a lifelong resident there and a Board of Education member, complains bitterly that "We've got enough noise from Mc- Gllire-" a "It cracks our walls and it breaks our windows and everything else," she said. "I can (ell you real quick that I don't want the jctport here." Her husband, Perry, who joins his wife in operating Van Kirk's Country Store, Main Allentown, agreed and predicted "You won't find much sentiment for if (the jetport) here." But a half block away, where the abbreviated business district gives way to dignified old homes, a woman born in Bermuda who recalls her home as a quiet place is not alarmed by the jetport prospect. "It. really wouldn make much difference to me," said Mrs.

Kenneth Wright, who moved to Allentown seven years ago from Bermuda. "It might be noisy, but 1 don't think it would bother me that much," she said. Balance Becomes Evident A similar balance of opinions was frequently evident, and some people were still weighing both sides yesterday while many others hadn't heard yet of the committee's recent pro-posal and wanted more time to consider it. Mrs. Margaret Hyde, who moved to Allentown tour years ago to get away from airplanes, was visibly startled by Ibe news.
