It concerns how workers in San Francisco cemeteries have been on strike since last spring. To date nearly 1,500 bodies remain unburied.

Caskets containing the bodies are stacked in San Francisco funeral homes. DEATH WEDNESDAY MORN- ING of Herman Schaafsma, 61, publisher of the Norwalk Reflector, shocked many, including this writer.

An observer notes that at 5:30 yesterday morning not a single car could be found parked on Madison street between Perry and Third. Jewel box Rare family reunion For the first time in eight years, former safety service director Harold Nielsen and his wife Elizabeth had their whole family together at home this past summer for two weeks. Daughter Marlene and her husband Bill Ward and their eightmonth-old son Kristin were here from Denville, N.J.

A daughter Betty and her Navy husband Bob Kokinda and their 11-year-old daughter Kathy and 8-year-old son Dean were here from Hawaii, where they have been stationed for several years. "We had quite a house full," says Harold. But it was quite a reunion. All the more so, because the Kokindas were being transferred to Morocco. Bob, a career service man, has 14 years of service in.

They were once before stationed in Morocco in fact Dean was born there. Bob is the son of Mrs. John Kokinda of Marblehead and her late husband. The Kokindas are in Morocco now and are staying at a hotel at Casa Blanca till housing is ready. The Harold Nielsens who visited them in Hawaii are just apt to go to Morocco in another year.

Marlene and her family have moved from New York City to Denville, about 35 miles away. Bill is associated with a pharmaceutical company. SCATTER PINS: Mary Ann Childress, daughter of former localites Jack Anderson Aerosol sprays cause cancer? WASHINGTON A Colorado doctor has uncovered alarming, but strictly preliminary, evidence that aerosol sprays may cause cancer. We reported on August 3 that hair sprays, deodorant sprays and other aerosol cosmetics "contain chemicals which may sear the eyes, damage the lungs and weaken the heart." Now Dr. William O.

Good of Montrose, has rushed us his own urgent findings. Seventy-five of his patients, who had been exposed to aerosol sprays, were given sputum pap tests by the nationally known pathologist, Dr. Geno Saccomann. The tests revealed "pre-malignant cells," which could develop into cancer. Dr.

Good sent us the actual pathology reports on 48 patients whose names, of course, had been blotted out. In each case, "atypical or dyplastic is, pre-malignant, cancer-causing cells--were found. They ranged from "mild" to "marked." "No one can say how many of these patients will develop full blown lung cancers," said Dr. Good. But the ominous indications spurred him into sending us the results rather than waiting to publish them.

He found the pre-malignant cells, incidentally, in patients of all ages, some as young as 17.

Jim Bishop Guest-eyeview of gab show host 319,9 Sun Times OUR NEW BETSY ROSS Sam Shulsky Wall Street reality Q.

You keep talking common ulation-from a calm, common sense stocks as a vehicle for building ca- point of view. But these books don't pital and yet recent books insist that Wall Street is one giant gambling house where the small guy never gets a break. A. Yes--and some publishing houses evidently don't care what they send out so long as a catchy title bids fair to make them some money off the gullible who are always looking for easy answers. In bear market (or shortly thereafter--after all, it does take SOME time to write these exposes) you will find a whole series of books explaining why the small market dabbler lost his shirt.

It's not the butler "who done it," but the specialist, or the customer's man, or crooked new issues promoters and underwriters, or the "insiders," or simply There are always plenty of culprits. In bull markets, you'll usually find a flood of books with all sorts of catchy titles which promise that everyone can become a millionaire in the stock market, or double his money overnight, or learn to trade profitably in pork bellies on the commodity exchange. As far as I'm concerned, both types are spinach "and to hell with 'em." There are books, of course, that try to approach the problems of investing (I'm guilty of a few myself)-and even stock market spec CHELL make ridiculous promises of instant riches, or conversely, collect 10 years' worth of SEC prosecutions and present them as picture of Wall Street chicanery at this very minute. I've watched (and invested in) securities just about as long as I've driven an automobile. I've suffered with "lemons" in both fields, and have enjoyed profit and comfort in both.

Fortunately, the latter have outweighed the "lemons," and nothing anybody can tell me about either field is going to convince me that I should give up securities ownership or automobiles. Doesn't it stand to reason that when one slew of books tells you to avoid the stock market as if it were the pox, and another tells you it can make you your fortune overnight, that both are probably working you for the price of a bookand nothing more? How old do you have to be to understand that "sure things," "black or white" statements, "anyone can be a millionaire" promises, or "everyone is a crook" indictments are most likely exaggerations for the sake of profit? Whatever that age is, I'm way past it. Except for amusement, I never read the "all or nothing" books that come to me. Sometimes I am invited on the couch shows. It is the popular attitude for columnists to deride these netweb spinners as traps for idiots.

Let me tell you, baby mine, that they sell books. The host holds the book up or the record: album mutters "terrific!" and tosses it into the dustbin. Thousands of listeners go out and buy it. At the moment, I am a thousand miles from Chicago and I would like to appear on Irv Kupcinet's show because he and I are a pair of well-worn shoes, but I must get back to the children. Maybe next month.

Or Christmas. Last week, I taped two shows with David Frost and one with another old buddy, Mike Douglas. Each man has his separate personality and, of course, this is what draws the listeners. Douglas sings well, and he purposely diminishes himself to make his guests look big. Bigger than they are.

He is also the complete family man whose idea of an exciting time is to get the wife and kids into a station wagon and race off to a Howard Johnson's. Hugh Downs, who is quitting the "Today Show," was first heard as announcer on the Jack Paar show. Mr. Downs equates with me inasmuch as both of us are perpetual students reading, learning, forgetting. Paar was the all-time natural because he was unafraid to admit that he didn't know what the guest was talking about.

He wasn't ignorant but, when he interrupted a monologue to ask a question, he was asking precisely what 30,000,000 persons would have asked. Once, as a joke, he said that I was the world's greatest name dropper because I said to him: "Get off the phone. I'm expecting a call from the Pope." What I said was: "Get off the phone. I'm expecting a call from the Vatican." There's a difference. His Holiness has a janitor.

But I can tell some on him, too. We have remained friends on and off the air and he cracked me up one day when he said: "Miriam and I just got back from the Holy Land and I made a lot of Easter film. I can't identify the places and you can. So come on the show and I'll show the film and you tell the people what they're looking at." Mr. Paar was the first to fly a helicopter over the palace of Pontius Pilate.

If he was there to lift Jesus into the sky on rescue, he was 2,000 years late. He was bright and handsome and nervous and, although I was on his show 25 or 30 times, he always paced the floor mumbling: "What am I going to say? I have nothing to say. Nothing. Then he went out and killed the people. Johnny Carson is an intelligent clotheshorse.

When he is in the mood, the show is hilarious. When he isn't, he tries to strangle himself with the knot of his tie. Still, he loses me with gabblers such as Phyllis Newman, who prattle about babies, husbands and lost identities. Dick Cavett is a sharp, quick mind. He makes straight men of his guests and bounces his jokes off their boners.

I listen. I enjoy. And I like that bald-headed second banana, Joe Garagiola. He learned to talk when he was a catcher for the Cards and, behind the mask, he baited the batters. The top interviewer is David Frost, who comes to the camera prepared to ask his guests incisive questions.

Mr. Frost is Great Britain's answer to Lend-Lease. He has an attitude of deep interest in his guest, and, unless the guest dies onstage, none of his millions of listeners dare to trot to the kitchen refrigerator or the bathroom while he is on. Twice he led Senator Henry Jackson of Washington into stating: "Now let me make one thing clear," which is a Nixon original. Jackson tried to be coy about whether he would run for the Presidency, and his blushing recalcitrance made him look foolish.

As a perennial guest on these thing, I get away with murder because I keep reminding myself that I am a writer, not an actor. Only one person in the world argues with that thesis: my Clem and Elaine Childress who now live in Orlando, has her Master's degree now. Studied library science in Texas. Clem, retired after a military career, was a Warrant Officer at EAD. He is severely handicapped now by arthritis.
