Ottinger and Republican Sen. Charles E. Goodell clashed yesterday in a television debate over whether Ottinger has been distorting the Goodell record.

Ottinger saiG Goodell has been taking credit during the campaign for bills he did little or no work on. Goodell denied the charge and said, "I don't know why you go around the state saying that." Goodell has been making much of the fact that he had a hand in 44 major pieces of legislation in his time in the Senate and has been calling Ottinger's House record nonproductive. The third entry in the Senate race James L. Buckley also took part in the debate and said that Goodell and Ottinger are "carbon copies" of each other, with views usually INCLUDES CLAM UtlOTA DAG OF CLAMS drawn butter LOBSTER TAIL drawn butter DROILED CHICKEN FRESH HOT ROLLS with creamy butter 5j i GgS Goodell associated with liberal Democrats. Unlike their first joint appearance a week ago, the candidates yesterday peppered their remarks with criticism of one another.

Ottinger said Nixon Administration policies have caused unemployment and inflation that are ruining the country. He was equally critical of New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. He charged that Goodell is beholden to Rockefeller, and, if he wins the Nov.

3 election, will vote in reorganizing the Senate to put "Nixon-Apew lieutenants" in top places. Goodell's reply was that he considers Rockefeller "a great governor" and that he does not believe Vice President Spiro T. Agnew "thinks I am SPECIAL NOW THRU OCTOBER 25th ii MOMS Mi I Ottinger in the Senate just to do what the President wants." Buckley said that neither Goodell nor Ottinger would be able to work as well as he with the Nixon Administra-' tion. Goodell, he said, has been "warmly embraced" by both the left-leaning Americans for Democratic Action and Alex Rose, top man in the Liberal Party, which has endorsed Goodell. Goodell and Ottinger took turns criticising Buckley.

Goodell said Buckley has ideas that belong in the past. Ottinger questioned Buckley about a newspaper story that quoted Buckley as saying Alabama Gov.

Buckley for U. S. Senator over 'two major-party opponents.

Charles Goodell, who also has Liberal party endorsement, the News noted that Vice President Spiro T.

Goldberg promised yesterday to revise the state's tax system and increase state unemployment compensation. The Democratic gubernatorial candidate accused Governor Rockefeller of "conning" the voters by failing to live up to his campaign promises made in 1958, 1962 and 1966. Predicting a "Democratic sweep" in the Nov 3 election, Goldberg said there was "a feeling of people that they have been conned" by the Rockefeller administration.

He said that anyone who had been with him in that campaign knows "I am not doing what Mr. Ottinger suggests." Buckley said the other candidates are too soft on law and order, and they said that the tougher enforcement that he calls for would only cause more crime.

All candidates said they favor limiting campaign spending by law.

Rockefeller said he believes he deserves Lindsay's endorsement because his administration has greatly increased state aid to New York City.

But Rockefeller said Lindsay has personal "problems" and "questions" to consider, such as whether to remain in the Republican party. By not endorsing anyone, Rockefeller said, Lindsay would remain "more flexible for the future." Lindsay has been reported to be considering switching his registration from Republican to Democrat as a prelude to seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972. ft i. mf -it' iL Rights Program Revealed ALBANY (UPI) A legislative program to strengthen state laws against discrimination was announced yesterday by Governor Rockefeller who said he would submit the plan to the 1971 legislature if he is re-elected.
