Sharpton Will Seek New Judge in Stabbing Case
\"His public opposition to me is well known,\" Mr. [Al Sharpton] said yesterday. He contended that Mr. [Michael Riccardi] might waive his right to a jury trial and \"pin his hopes on a judge with a known bias toward me.\" Mr. Sharpton also criticized the Brooklyn District Attorney, Charles J. Hynes, for not protesting Judge [Abraham G. Gerges]'s appointment. Mr. Sharpton still faces prosecution by Mr. Hynes for charges stemming from protest marches Mr. Sharpton has led. Mr. Hynes said he would not comment on Mr. Sharpton's assertions. Mr. Sharpton's lawyers, Alvaader Frazier, Michael A. Hardy and Harry Kresky, asserted that, in violation of legal rules, Mr. Riccardi was allowed to choose a court-appointed lawyer and was not randomly assigned one.

Limits Are Sought on Income of Council Members
''If the New York City Charter Commission proposes to grant the City Council new and expanded powers, it should also require that they serve full time,'' said Neal Rosenstein, the center's good-government coordinator. ''Before entering politics, I just invested well,'' Mr. [Abraham G. Gerges] said. ''I can afford to be independent in the way that I vote here in the Council.'' ''I am not embarrassed by the fact that I make a good outside income,'' he said. ''I put in a lot of time in my Council work and a lot of time in my legal work.'' 'Citizen Legislature'

CITY SAID TO LOSE $4.5 MILLION OVER SHELTER CODE VIOLATIONS
''We are paying a price, not only in the loss of vital funding from the uncorrected violations cited against the shelters, but also in terms of the human cost to people who must rely on the shelters as their only means of housing,'' Mr. [Abraham G. Gerges] said. ''The city does not have a clear long-term policy for housing the homeless,'' he said. He criticized the use of armories and schools as overnight shelters, saying, ''They were never intended to house people.'' He said the city ''must immediately remove all violations'' by repairing shelters. The most frequent violations cited by the state, according to Mr. Gerges, were fire hazards.

Commissioner of Statistics Becomes One Temporarily
The White House sent (Katharine G.) Abraham's nomination to the Senate Labor Committee only last month. A committee spokesman said no date has been set for a confirmation hearing. With Congress planning to adjourn next month, Abraham might be out of her office until sometime next year. Meanwhile, some key, potentially controversial decisions for the agency are pending, such as whether and how to adjust the consumer price index (CPI) and others on BLS's federal salary survey. And the absence of a commissioner is not going to help morale within the agency, which has suffered because of the recent public debate over the accuracy of the CPI and complaints about the accuracy of some other statistics, such as those tracking productivity. William G. Barron, who has been deputy commissioner of the bureau for more than a decade, will take over as acting commissioner in Abraham's absence, as he did for nearly two years between the departure of Commissioner Janet Norwood at the end of 1991 and Abraham's arrival four years ago.
