WORLD FOOD CRISIS.

In the view of many authorities, the current famine in India is the signal of a change from a acute crisis to a chronic problem. The food-producing countries lack certain minerals on which their industry depends. The undeveloped nations that have these minerals cannot even feed themselves without petrochemical fertilizer.

Sunrise Dr. (Star Photo) Early Returns Favor Gold water And Udall By BEN MacNITT Star Political Writer Initial vote returns last night pointed the way toward larger-than-predicted Democratic statewide gains, with Raul Castro topping the ticket over his GOP opponent for governor, 17,003 votes to Russ Williams' 9,057. State party leaders in both the Demcratic and GOP camps had feared a low voter turnout, but early returns were showing just the opposite. From all precincts checked, poll workers reported that voters were casting ballots in record numbers. The initial returns represented only a small percentage of the state's 990 precincts, but across-the-board Democrats running for state offices were piling up vote leads.

Sen. Barry Goldwater, saw a solid early lead over his Democratic challenger, Scottsdale publisher Jonathan Marshall, fade temporarily to razor thinness, then recovered and began methodically recording an unassailable victory. House Minority Leader John J. Rhodes was trailing Democrat challenger Patricia Fullin-wider, who had rolled up 2,446 votes to Rhodes' 1,812. Incumbent Rep.

Sam Steiger, was also trailing in early returns, holding 1,916 votes to Democrat Pat Bosch's 2,308 votes. Incumbent John B. Conlan, and Rep. Morris K. Udall, were ahead in their bids for re-election.

Williams, a conservative who pledged continuity with the current administration if elected, waged his campaign on economic issues. He called for limited state spending and presented a tough law enforcement platform. Castro, making his second bid for the office, attempted to appeal to the broadest spectrum of voters. After the governor's race, voter interest seemed to be concentrated on the contest between Democrat challenger Bruce Babbitt and Republican Atty. Gen.

N. Warner Lee, appointed to the office in July by Gov. Jack Williams to fill a vacancy. Babbitt, a 36-year-old Phoenix attorney from a pioneer Arizona family, hit hard during the campaign for tough enforcement of land fraud and consumer protection laws. Early returns placed Babbitt ahead, 4000 votes to Lee's 2,227.

Lee, a 37-year-old former assistant U.S. attorney for Arizona, moved quickly to reorganize the Attorney General's Office and act in the land fraud and drug abuse fields. Outgoing Superintendent of Public Instruction Weldon Shofstall's job was being sought by Phoenix businesswoman Carolyn Warner, a Democrat, and 58-year-old Bill Roark, a Republican of Phoenix. Earlier, Warner was rolling up a 2-to-l margin. Veteran Democrat Wesley Bolin, who for 20 years has been secretary of state, was facing the toughest challenge in recent memory from 35-year-old Michael Goodwin, who left his post in the State House.

Treasurer Bart Fleming, a native of Tucson, who was appointed to the post late last (Continued On Page 10A, Col. 1) Observers have noted that the election of more "liberal" candidates such as Grijalva, Mrs. Fogel, Gait, Lehrling or Lopez might result in a shift in voting patterns on the board. Any two of the five might be expected to form a new majority on the board, with current member Leba Wine. In previous months, Mrs.

Wine has-stood nearly alone in her belief that integrated schools are necessary for equal education, that school discipline policies could be more flexible and in her opposition to ROTC programs in district high schools. The other four candidates, Downing, Mrs Hafley, Kahn and Waite, although not in unison on the issues, have struck a more conservative pose during the campaign. Mrs. Hafley, the incumbent, has rigidly defended the current school administration under Supt. Thomas L.

Lee. The other conservative candidates have generally been reluc- tant to attack Lee, a position not shared by their liberal counterparts, who have blamed the superintendent for what they have termed a lack of responsiveness by the district to the (Continued On Page 10A, Col. 5) ate and a 38-to-22 majority in the House of Representatives. The Democrats are confident of holding on to 11 of their current 12 Senate seats, since only Sen. John C.

Scott Ulm in District 9 faces a challenge. He is being challenged there by Republican Stephen Davis who has based his campaign on Ulm's outspokenness. Ulm in return has based his campaign on that same outspokenness and claimed during the campaign that he is the conscience of the state Senate. Kincaid and King were hoping to move into the positions vacated by fellow Republican Scott Alexander, who decided not to run again this year, and William C. Jacquin, who made an unsuccessful bid for the GOP gubernatorial nomination.

Democratic legislative candidates in Pima County were hoping to pick up some House seats here, especially in Districts 9, 12, 13, and 14. The Republicans were fighting to hold their strength there, particularly with Rep. Tom Goodwin in District 12, because he chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee, and for Rep. Tony Buehl, in District 4, who heads the Ways and Means Committee. Goodwin relied heavily on his chairmanship during the campaign, saying that if he were defeated Pima County would be set back six to eight years.

Everyone in the Legislature has bills that have money requests attached to them, he said, and to get them out of Goodwin's committee they have to support "what we want in Pima County." Goodwin has served four terms in the Legislature. He is a lecturer at the University of Arizona. He and his fellow GOP representative in that district, J. Peter Hershberger, faced strong challenges for their seats from two Democrats, John Kromko and, in particular, Jo Cauthorn, wife of Democratic City Councilman Robert Cauthorn. Mrs.

Cauthorn has been one of the more outspoken candidates seeking office this year and has based her campaign on changes in the tax laws and advocating legislative and water law reform. Buehl was battling to retain his seat in District 14 along with Republican A.S. "Skip" Donau, who is making his second attempt at winning a House seat this year. They faced challenges there from Democrats Anna Culli-nan, who has run unsuccessfully for the House before, and Sylvain Schnaittacher, a political newcomer who is a negotiator for the United Steelworkers. Schnaittacher has said he's been ill during the general election and busy with his job and hasn't been able to do much cam-1 paigning.

In District 13, the Democrats were basing their hopes there on capturing two House seats with liberal Sister Clare Dunn and Bruce Wheeler. Republican newcomers Stephen Beal, 26, and Seth Linthicum, a retired Army colonel, were hoping to defeat their liberal counterparts. Rep. Kincaid in that district is seeking election to the Senate and the other representative, Democrat Helen Grace Carlson, decided not to run again this year. In District 11, incumbent Democratic Reps.

Emilio Carrillo and Robert Fricks were expected to have little trouble winning re-elec- (Continued on Page HA, Col. 5) Mine Owners, Coal Workers Resume Talks WASHINGTON (AP) coal operators and the United Mine Workers resumed negotiations last night in what UMW President Arnold Miller said was an attempt to "prevent a prolonged shutdown of the nation's mines." Miller said the union was offering a "comprehensive contract package" to the mine operators who, he said, have made a strike unavoidable. Among the 60 issues Miller said remain unresolved are proposals on wages and benefits and on mine safety. The union's proposals came after the coal industry negotiators presented an offer Monday night. After that offer, Miller said the operators "declared a strike in the coal fields." At the same time, a confidential government report estimates that a long strike could throw 200,000 workers out of jobs at the end of a month.

White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said President Ford has seen the report and "It Is not a happy prospect." The UMW represents 120,000 soft-coal min-(Continued on Page Col. C) Most of the Democratic legislative candidates in Pima County jumped to early leads last night, as early returns indicated that voters here were following the national Democratic trend. Democratic senatorial candidates Sue Dye and Morris Farr took early leads in Districts 12 and 13 over, respectively, Republicans Sen. Douglas Holsclaw and Rep. H.

Thomas "Tarn" Kincaid. Democratic House candidates led in Districts 10, 11, 12 and 13, with only 12 out of 134 precincts reporting. There were no returns from District 14. Democratic Rep. Jim Dewberry led in District 9 and GOP Rep.

Tom Richey held a very small lead over Democratic challenger Lloyd Vacovsky. In that district, Democratic Sen. John Scott Ulm also held a small lead over GOP contender Stephen Davis. Democrats statewide are hoping to pick up two Senate seats in Tucson and two in Phoenix to take a 16-to-14 edge over the Republicans when the 32nd session of the Legislature convenes in January. The GOP has controlled both the House and Senate since 1966.

The Republicans now hold an 18-to-12 edge in Sen- Democrats Jolt GOP Across U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats parlayed Republican scandals and gnawing inflation into off-year election victories yesterday, strengthening their grip on Congress and capturing the governorshirs of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. They took away Republican Senate seats in Colorado, in Florifa and in Kentucky. And their candidates built hefty leads over Republican incumbents in district after congressional district. It added up to a setback for President Ford, who had mounted a strenuous personal campaign for GOP candidates in a score of states.

In the Senate, the Democrats won GOP seats with Colorado's Gary Hart, who had managed George McGovern's campaign in the presidential debacle two years ago; with Gov. Wendell H. Ford of Kentucky, and with Richard Stone, a former secretary of state in Florida. Hart ousted Republican Sen. Peter H.

Dominick. Ford beat Sen. Marlow W. Cook. Stone was elected over millionaire druggist Jack Eckerd to the seat left open by the retirement of Sen.

Edward J. Gurney, under indictment for bribery and conspiracy. McGovern himself won re-election to the Senate from South Dakota. Sen. Thomas F.

Eagleton, the vice presidential running mate he dumped in 1972, was re-elected by a hefty margin. For the Republicans, Sen. Jacob K. Javits was re-elected over former Atty. Gen.

Ramsey Clark in New York; Sen. Richard S. Schweiker won in Pennsylvania, and Sen. Charles McC. Mathias won a new term in Maryland.

Javits won Senate re-election against the Democratic tide that captured the governorship for Rep. Hugh L. Carey, a Brooklyn congressman who beat the party establishment to win nominavion in the first place. Carey ended 16 years of Republican rune in Albany by beating Gov. Malcolm Wilson, the GOP conservative who became governor after Nelson A.

Rockefeller resigned. In Connecticut, it was Democratic Rep. Ella T. Grasso for governor. At 55, she became the first woman elected a state governor without succeeding her husband.

Michael S. Dukakis, 40, a reform-minded Democrat and former state legislator, was elected governor of Massachusetts, ousting Gov. Francis W. Sargent. Democrat Ray Blanton, a former congressman, took over the governorship of Tennessee, beating ex-White House aide Lamar Alexander for an office now in GOP hands.

The national picture: In the Senate, with 34 seats at stake and 51 needed for a majority, Democrats won 16 and had 38 holdovers for a new total of 54, while Republicans won 3 and had 28 holdovers for a new total of 31. That is a net gain of 3 Democrats, with 15 races undecided. In the House, with all 435 seats at stake and 218 needed for a majority, Democrats won 171 while Republicans won 61. That is a net gain of (Continued on Page 14A, Col. 7) By KEN BURTON Star Staff Writer may seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976.

Dolgaard waged an energetic campaign against Udall, attacking the incumbent on his record of votes against legislation designed to stop or reduce busing as a means of achieving racial balance in public schools. Dolgaard in general charged Udall with saying one thing in Washington, another in Tucson and being representative" of his constituency. Udall said that although he opposes busing, he voted against the anti-busing measures because they were unconstitutional. Hafley, Grijalva, Downing Lead In School Contests By BILL TURNER Star Education Writer Republican Barry Goldwater and Democrat Morris K. Udall appeared headed for new terms in the U.S.

Congress last night as fragmentary returns gave both men early leads over their challengers. Goldwater, 65, seeking his fourth six-year term in the U.S. Senate, instantly moved ahead of Democrat Jonathan Marshall, 50, a Scotts-dale newspaper publisher, by a vote of 4,673 to 3,499. Marshall, however, edged ahead of Gold-water in Pima County balloting. With 12 of 134 precincts reporting, Marshall had 3,183 votes to Goldwater's 3,136.

Udall, 52, led Republican Keith Dolgaard, 38, a Tucson certified public accountant. Early returns showed the incumbent congressman ahead with 2,099 votes to Dolgaard's 1,640. The Udall-Dolgaard count was from absentee ballots. Udall's 2nd Congressional District includes all of Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties and parts of Pinal and Maricopa counties. Goldwater won with 57 per cent of the vote in 1968, when he defeated Democrat Roy El-son, an administrative assistant to the late Sen.

Carl Hayden. Udall defeated Tucson dentist Gene Savoie, a Republican, in 1968 with 63 per cent of the vote. Goldwater, who told reporters during his campaign that his contest against Marshall was the toughest he had been in since his first senatorial election, stumped the state, coupling his conservative line with pronouncements of loyalty to the Republican Party and the policies of President Ford. Marshall, while promising to be for much of what Goldwater has voted against, hit Gold-water hardest on his Senate attendance record. Toward the campaign's end, Goldwater began defending his attendance, saying he was present for more than 90 per cent of the "important votes" affecting the nation and the state.

Udall seeks his seventh full term (his first, which began in 1961, was incomplete because Udall ran in a special election) in the House of Representatives. Udall's margin of victory this year could be his most important because he Incumbent Helen Hafley appeared headed for a third consecutive term on the Tucson School District One school board, on the basis of early election returns last night. Steve Downing, a University of Arizona senior, and westside activist Raul Grijalva also appeared to be running strong for the two seats open on the board. Both Downing and Grijalva had gathered numerous votes in previous, unsuccessful bids for seats on the governing body of the state's largest school district. Other District One candidates include, Gretchen Fogel, a housewife; George Gault, a retired businessman; Edmund Kahn, a lawyer; Terry Lending, a real estate salesman; Anne Lopez, a government employe and Rex Waite, a local businessman.

School board elections were also being decided last night in each of Pima County's 16 school districts. With two seats open, the election in Tucson School District One has been viewed as pivotal in terms of future school board philosophy and policy..
