Democratic Ticket Threatens GOP Dominance berg. This same stature will stand Goldberg in good stead in the general election, especially since he is likely to continue improvingv as a campaigner. Not since he defeated incumbent Democrat Averell Harriman has Rockefeller had to face an opponent so widely known and of such proven stature. And the Harriman race took place in 1958, when Rockefeller was 12 years younger and rapidly becoming one of the brightest stars in Goldberg, who is 61, has a rambling and pompous speaking style and tends to gesture and smile at the wrong times. But he is universally known because of his careers as a Cabinet officer, member of the country's highest court, and frontman for the nation in world affairs as U.

N. ambassador. To New Yorkers, that adds up to stature and it is no slur against Samuels, who has a solid reputation in his own right that voters chose Gold the national political firmament. Goldberg has run partially under wraps so far, husbanding his issues wherever possible for use against the governor later and treading lightly so as not to antagonize Samuels supporting Democrats whose backing he will need in the fight against Rockefeller. As a result, he stands a fair chance of succeeding in his goal of uniting the traditionally-splintered party.

He has the porting Goldberg began charging Samuel with being anti-labor and Goldberg himself accused Samuels of talking out of both sides of his mouth, depending on whether the audience was upstate or down. Samuels, at 50, was much the better campaigner, more vigourous, more forceful and knowledgeable about New York's problems. Some in Governor Rockefeller's camp thought this would have made him a more formidable opponent than Goldberg. spending from $50,000 to $75,000 a week on television and making a dozen or more appearances in an average 17-hour campaign day. By comparison, Goldberg's schedule was almost leisurely.

Not until the final 10 days or so, when Samuels' momentum had become apparent, did Goldberg begin to switch his attack from the Nixon-Agnew-Rockefeller axis to Samuels and his positions on state issues. It was then that unions sup over Howard J. Samuels in the gubernatorial primarythe first such contest since 1920 was a narrow one, with virtually complete returns showing Goldberg with 52.4 per cent of the vote. As such, It was an unsatisfying win for the former UN ambassador and Supreme Court Justice, who was so confident of a sweep two weeks ago that he was considering not spending a dime on television commercials. Samuels, meanwhile, was By CHARLES R.

He has both the Liberal and Democratic lines, and his support bridges the gaps between regulars and reformers and between black and Jewish New Yorkers, who have been at odds over tense local situations such as the 1968 school strike.

The party of which he now becomes leader is in debt. But with unity, chances are good that he can raise enough money to run an effective campaign not the $10 million or so the pros expect Rockefeller to spend but far more than the $700,000 Frank O'Connor had to work with in 1966. The fact that Sen. Basil A. Paterson, Goldberg's 'running mate for lieutenant governor, defeated Jerome A.

Ambro, may indicate that New York Democrats aren't willing to vote for an unknown just for prejudice's sake. Paterson, a 44-year-old lawyer from Harlem, is the first black nominated by a major party to run for lieutenant governor. How the voters at large will respond to a Jewish-black ticket is unclear. But, Republicans are aware that even subtle appeals to bigotry can backfire in a state where so many are members of minority groups. Also uncertain is how the state's voters will react to the fact that the Democratic ticket comprises four Jews and a Negro Catholic, with three of the five from Manhattan.

Representative Richard L. Ottinger, who may have spent $1,500,000 or more in winning the four-way Senate primary, is a three-term congressman from suburban Westchester. Adam Walinsky, a former Robert F. Kennedy aide who won the attorney general nomination, also is from Westchester. Incumbent Comptroller Arthur Levitt, unopposed, is a Manhattanite.

Ottinger's victory and Samuels' lavishly-financed near-miss indicate the voters aren't too concerned by heavy election spending. If the man comes across as having "class," he runs well. Ottinger's brilliantly-organized campaign, and the certainty that he will have the resources to continue it in the general election, do not bode well for Republican Senator Charles E. Goodell of James-' town. In his emergence as a leading dove, Goodell has picked up the endorsement of the Liberal party but has alienated much of his basic Republican support.

The U.S. initiative it is understood, basically calls for Israeli withdrawal from most of the territory captured in the 1967 war in return for Arab commitments to accept Israel's existence and respect its borders. It comes as the Nixon administration is reported ready to sell new war-planes to Israel to offset increased military support to Egypt. Israel asked for the planes last September and has pressed particularly hard for a decision since Soviet combat pilots began flying defensive patrols inside Egypt more than two months ago. The emphasis, therefore, will be on the peace initiative, informants indicated, although U.S.

Goldberg Squeaker a Relief, Ottinger Win Brings a Blush Product Safety Law Backed WASHINGTON (AP) The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee says he will push for a bill giving a new federal agency power to eliminate product hazards blamed for the deaths of 30,000 Americans and injuries to 20 million more. Sen.

Warren G. Magnuson, made the announcement prior to today's opening hearing on the recommendations of the National Commission on Product Safety. The commission presented its final report to the President Tuesday and urged creation of a new agency to deal with product hazards that cost the nation more than $5.5 billion a year. The study group recommended establishment of a five-member agency with exclusive authority in the field of consumer product safety. An advocate with responsibility to represent only consumers in proceedings before the new agency and other regulatory boards would be named.

Y. (AP) -State Sen. Basil Paterson had the overwhelming endorsement of Democratic voters today in his bid to become the first Negro to run for lieutenant governor. The Harlem lawmaker easily disposed of his opponent, Huntington Town Supervisor Jerome Ambro, Tuesday in the primary election. He posted a victory margin of more than 2 to 1.

Unofficial, almost complete returns showed that Ambro carried only his home Suffolk County, with Paterson the convincing victor everywhere else. Paterson's wide edge in upstate areas was surprising in that he rarely ventured outside New York City to campaign. He had the support of most party organizations, however, and the two gubernatorial contenders. Ambro had criss-crossed the state in search of votes, but had refrained from raising the race issue a fact that Paterson noted favorably a few days before the election. Paterson, 41, was the choice of black leaders for the post and then was designated by the Democratic State Committee.

But Samuels' upstate lead was not as wide as he had anticipated and, in the end, he succumbed to the New York Ciiy preference for Gold- a distant third after capturing only a few small counties. U.S.

Rep. Richard Max McCarthy won in his home Erie County, but almost nowhere else. Ottinger forged his victory by posting a 2-1 margin over O'Dwyer in upstate areas and by remaining close to O'Dwyer in New York City. In unofficial returns from 13,176 of the state's 13,735 election districts, Ottinger had 360,186 votes, O'Dwyer 303,768, Sorensen 151,417 and McCarthy 101,194. Nearly complete returns from districts outside New York City showed Ottinger with 144,910 votes, O'Dwyer 70,531, Sorensen 54,458 and McCarthy 69,625.

O'Dwyer carried New York City in complete but unofficial returns with 233,237 votes, compared with Ottinger 215,276, Sorensen 96,959 and McCarthy 31,569. The 41-year-old congressman, heir to a plywood fortune, got on the. ballot after circulating nominating petitions among most of the counties in the state. Ottinger was elected to Congress in 1964 by a district in which enrolled Republicans are in the majority. He was returned to Congress in subsequent elections after becoming known for his stand against corporate polluters and for conservation.

Samuels HA ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Arthur J. Goldberg emerged today from a too-close-for-com-fort primary battle as the Democratic nominee for governor, while the party leaders who backed him sighed in relief. The former Supreme Court justice's victory over millionaire Howard J. Samuels was offset somewhat by U.S.

Rep. Richard L. Ottinger's triumph in the four-way race for the U.S. Senate nomination. Ottinger's victory was all the more embarrassing because the leaders' choice, former White House aide Theodore C.

Sorensen, finished third behind another insurgent, Paul O'Dwyer and barely ahead of underdog U.S. Rep. Richard Max McCarthy. But the organization succeeded easily in putting over State Sen. Basil A.

Richard Ottinger, the emphatic winner of the crowded primary for the Democratic senatorial nomination, had been ignored by party leaders and was unknown to many voters a few months ago when he announced his bid for the office.

45 Arrested In Welfare Rights March WASHINGTON (AP) About 45 persons were arrested Tuesday afternoon during a march on the city's social services building by wel-fare recipients demanding free furnishings. The arrests occurred when one group of demonstrators, mostly women, refused to leave the building after incidents of window breaking, one was charged with assaulting an officer, and the others with unlawful entry. About 450 persons participated in the march, sponsored by the National Welfare Rights Organization. Some 100 forced their way into the building. Minutes later, a chair was hurled by a demonstrator inside, striking a plate glass window.

Several of those outside then began throwing rocks, breaking more windows. Police called in 25 members of their riot control unit and forced the protestors still outside the building into a nearby park. A short while later, they ordered the building cleared, but one-third of those inside refused to leave. Inside Today berg just as the city's Democratic leaders had said he would. Latest unofficial returns, from 13,161 of the state's 13,735 election districts, gave Goldberg 491,006 votes and Samuels 445,578.

Although Goldberg's margin was decisive, Samuels said he would not concede until the entire vote was in. As had been expected, only about a quarter of the state's 3.5 million enrolled Democrats bothered to go to the polls. In other phases of the primary: Harlem's flamboyant Democratic congressman, Adam Clayton Powell, once ousted from his house seat for misuse of public funds, finally tasted electoral defeat. His primary victor, also black, was Assemblyman Charles Rangel. Anti-war candidates found slim pickings in the congressional primary, failing to oust such incumbents as Democrats Samuel Stratton in the Albany-Schenectady area, James Hanley in Syracuse, Thaddeus Dulski in Buffalo and John J.

Trockman. A highly financed campaign with emphasis on television and radio advertising overcame these handicaps, however, and Democratic voters Tuesday made Ottinger their choice to face incumbent Republican Sen. Charles E. Actually, Ottinger's heavy campaign spending was the only real issue of the lackluster campaign. The three other candidates agreed with Ottinger and each other on most other issues.

Ottinger already has reported that he spent almost a half million dollars in the early weeks of the campaign nearly five times the combined amount of his oppo-, nents. They charged that his final spending figure, which will be filed in the near future, will show an outlay of almost $1 million. Ottinger shrugged off the criticism, offering as defense the campaigns of Gov. Rockefeller and New York City John V. Lindsay.

In the end, it was a two-man race between Ottinger and former New York City councilman Paul O'Dwyer, a vet-e a champion of liberal causes who retains a powerful appeal for New York City voters.
