and a landscaper, ran low-key campaigns and attracted little attention. "My opponents don't have many issues," the mayor said. "I put a good administration together and a heck of a record to run on. Caliguiri wasn't the first Pittsburgh mayor to seek both primary nominations on the way to a second full term. Mayor Pete Flaherty, a Democrat who resigned in 1977 join the Carter administration, won both nominations eight years ago.

On hi way to a second term, Flaherty beat Republican Tom Livingston in 1973 with 12,654 sticker votes to 3,864 regular votes. This year, Goehringer, a conservative, tried to discredit Caliguiri's involvement in "Renaissance II." "I sincerely resent the mayor's efforts to take credit for something that free enterprise has done," said Goerhinger, a self described "moral majority type" who once worked as an investigator for the Allegheny County District Attorney's office. Nov. 3 of this year," Caliguiri said in accepting the Democratic nomination. "So on to November.

Let's go to November for' victory again," said Caliguiri, who had staked his campaign on a massive inner-city construction program dubbed "Renaissance II." The city's Democrats enjoy a massive registration edge with 163,718 over the Republican's 34,488. With 87 percent of the city's 410 precincts reporting, Goehringer led the Republican side with 5,309 votes cast the normal way to Caliguiri's 2,466 write-in votes. Unofficial Democratic returns, with 81.5 percent of the city's precincts reporting, Caliguiri had 38,734 votes. Former school board member Frank Widina had 2,535 musician and businessman Reginald Plato, 2,289 city truck driver Mario Santamaria, and Raymond Skornickel, 2,000.

"The mayor is out of it. It's over. He home and go to bed," Goehringer said, Caliguiri's saturation media campaign deprive him of the GOP nomination. Some 50 minutes earlier, Caliguiri, his first full four-year term in 1977 as an independent, congratulated his Democratic campaign workers for "a great victory."

In Pennsylvania's largest city, the council race was the highlight of a generally lackluster primary that attracted only about a fourth of the 950,000 registered voters. Democrats have controlled City Hall here since 1952. City Controller Thomas Leonard the only major candidate with pri- mary opposition, easily won the Democratic nomination for re-election over a pretzel vendor and two others.

With 99 percent of the 1,790 precincts reported, Leonard had a nearly 4-1 lead over the other three together in his bid for a full four-year term. Maritime Institute for Research and Industrial Development. "We have no objection to the basic concept of carrying our own weight," Singman told the subcommittee. "But to impose an obligation that's not for industry's benefit, but for the public good, is just not fair." The user fee program could be far more expensive than its backers let on, Singman said. Estimated costs of $2 million are "a drop in the bucket," he said.

"The costs of administering a fee program could go into the tens of millions." The boaters said they had no quibble with a user fee per se. Their beef centers around the fact that the money collected would not go directly to fund Coast Guard operations, but would be poured into general revenues. "I'm told by the Budget Committee that they don't care if we cut $100 million in Coast Guard retirement pay, in the Coast Guard itself or raise user fees," Studds said, deriding the draft proposal. "The sole purpose is to cut $100 million they don't care where you cut it." Even Republicans present elbowed the majority for a chance to knock the revenue-raising plan. Committee member Don Young of Alaska said he had "serious concerns" about the proposal, particularly because it "gives the executive branch the authority to charge where no benefit is received," and because "the fees go to the general treasury with no guarantee that they will be used for the Coast Guard services for which they are being charged." Later in the daylong hearing, subcommittee member E.

Clay Shaw interrupted a witness, saying, "I'm a congressman from Ft. Lauderdale, so.you don't have to sell your case to me." Committee aide Pike said the consensus of the subcommittee was "if you want to help the Coast Guard, and if you want to do it through user fees, we're willing to do it," but not if monies were funnelled into the Treasury. The parent House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee has been directed to decide the user fee issue by June 12. To comply with conference report instructions that it chop $192 million in entitlements next year, the committee had already decided to phase out $92 million worth of merchant seaman public health hospitals. The only alternative to a user fee, Studds said, is elimination of the Coast Guard pension fund.

By LUCILLE CRAFT States News Service WASHINGTON House Republicans jostled Democrats yester- day as both sides took turns rapping a Reagan proposal that would charge recreational boaters for use of the nation's waterways. Pleasure boat users, who number about 260,000 in Pennsylvania, would be required to register annually and receive identifying decals through local post offices. "From the evidence of testimony today, little support for a user fee," said House Coast Guard subcommittee aide Jeff Pike during a daylong hearing on the It still lacks a congressional sponsor. The target practice was supplied by House Coast Guard subcommittee chairman Gerry Studds, who made known his sympathies early on. "From the beginning of its history, a history which traces back virtually to the founding of the Republic, the Coast Guard functions have been performed as a general public service, of benefit to the nation as a whole," he said in his opening statement.

"The fundamental question is whether there is today any compelling reason to depart from nearly 200 years of past practice. The proposal to charge pleasure boat owners the first year, and up to five times as much in later years, enjoyed a single advocate Deputy Secretary of Transportation Darrell Trent. "Wherever possible, federal transportation outlays should be financed through charges levied directly on the user or immediate beneficiary of the applicable federal transportation service or facility, as opposed to general taxes levied on the population as a whole," he said. The administration contends that recreational boaters, as well as com- -mercial shippers, are isolated segments of society benefiting from the Coast Guard's safety, rescue and navigational services, and should shoulder half of the agency's operating expenses. That would total $500 million in 1986.

The lone voice in support of a user fee, Trent was followed by 14 representatives of the boating industry and consumers, ranging from the Boston Tow Boat Company to United Boatmen of New Jersey and the National Party Boat Owners Alliance, Inc. Throughout the day, they more or less repeated the words of Julian Singman, president of the PHILADELPHIA AP Demo crats, by a slim margin, held on to City Council yesterday in a special election that had been tarnished in the Abscam bribery scandal.

I had a committee of 30 people, some 700 contributors along with hundreds of people who urged me to run again. "Looking ahead to the fall campaign, our first priority is to make sure the party is unified as well as bring in as many Republicans as possible to be a part of our general campaign effort. Early indications are that is going to be very significant and very sizable." Hershman, dejected by his defeat, said: "I congratulate Joe on his vie- tory.

The voters possibly want him for another four years. "I proposed no tax increase during the next four years. But Democrats in Allentown apparently felt my proposals were not sufficient for their votes," he continued. "I will spend the next two years devoting full time to being city controller and being the fiscal watchdog in city government." Smith also congratulated Daddona on winning the Democratic nomination, adding "I am looking forward to a strong, issue-oriented campaign come the fall and look forward to debating Mr. Daddona on all the issues that confront our city.

"I hope that Republicans and Dem-x ocrats become very much interested in this very important election for the good of one of the best cities in the state." The campaign ended on a bitter note with each candidate accusing the other of smear tactics.

And in Bethlehem, incumbent Democratic Mayor Paul M. Marcincin got the right to try for another term.

His opponent apparently will be Rep. George Kanuck, who got the GOP nomination with write-ins. Lehigh County voters by a 4-1 margin turned down a proposal to double the pay of their part-time narrow margin of 121 votes by Republican Frank Fischl in 1977. That brought a temporary end to Dad-dona's political career. Before serving as mayor in 1974-77, he had been a councilman six years, two of them under the formed commission type of government.

Since stepping down as mayor, he has been conducting a consulting and marketing services firm for business, gov-, eminent and industry and has been Allentown area director of governmental programs for Urban Research and Development Corp. Hershman, city controller the past vacancies to be filled this year, coupled with two in 1983, will create a significant turnover in membership on the seven-man court. Davison, a Democrat, is seen as something of a dark horse in the race since he did not receive his party's endorsement. But the Allentown judge has waged a vigorous campaign across the state and has sunk a large amount of money into media advertising in the closing weeks of the campaign. Davison has tried hard to convince voters that the high court needs justices outside the traditional drawing areas of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

In Philadelphia, his toughest competition is McDermott and Glancey. In Pittsburgh, he faces Farino and Colville. The State Superior Court race, because of the large number of candidates, has defied predictions by state political experts. Incumbent Judge Donald Wieand. seeking a full 10-year term, lost a bid for the court two years ago.

He has been serving on the bench by virtue of an appointment by Gov. Thornburgh. As is usually the case, no issues seemed to ignite any of the three statewide appellate court races. But all candidates stressed the need for a return to law and order. The closest thing to controversy in this year's races was the return of former Philadelphia State Sen.

very political city. Cianfrani created a committee, called Judges for a Safe Society, to raise money and to campaign for judicial candidates, mainly Philadelphia judicial candidates. However, he also offered his support to the Democratic-endorsed candidates in statewide judicial races. Accepting his support were Glancey and Farino in the Supreme Court race, Doyle in Commonwealth, and Wieand, Savitt and Latrone in Superior. Cianf rani planned to distribute sample ballots bearing the names of those candidates throughout south Philadelphia on election day.

Most candidates voiced dismay at the lack of voter interest that always seems to mark judicial elections. Because of that disinterest, factors other than qualifications, such as ballot position, name recognition and geography, have come to play a large role in the ultimate selection of Pennsylvania's judges. LOTTERIES May 19, 1981 PENNSYLVANIA Daily Number 301 NEW JERSEY Pick-It Pick-4 620 9680 By JACK FISCHER States News Service WASHINGTON -Hoping to stem high unemployment and revitalize the nation's depressed neighborhoods, Sen. John Heinz, yesterday introduced a measure to offer tax incentives to businessmen who locate in designated "green line districts." The bill, similar to proposals President Reagan made during the 1980 campaign, would use the private sector rather than federal grants to induce investment in areas of high unemployment. Reagan has not indicated whether he will support the measure.

Heinz, accompanied by co-sponsor Sen. Donald Riegle, and Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, announced introduction of the -bill at one of the city's municipal garages in economically depressed northeast Washington. Heinz said the bipartisan bill differs from similar legislation introduced last year in that it does not specify a 25 percent property tax abatement in the blighted districts and that it does not exempt an employer from contributing to the Social Security fund. Under the measure, dubbed the Urban and Rural Revitalization Act of 1980, property tax relief would be decided by local ancTstate governments.

Similarly, Heinz said the measure leaves the definition of who could qualify for the program vague so federal and local governments can design programs suited to different locations. Palladino leads Riegle characterized the bill a "first step for debate" of the problem of high unemployment and chronic economic depression that plagues areas across the country, particularly northeastern cities like Detroit and Flint in his home state. "I think it's essential now that we see ma or cutbacks in the UD AG (Urban Development Action Grants) program and EDA (Economic Development Administration) that there be something creative in the private sector to fill the vacuum, Riegle said. Under Heinz's bill, investors in the designated districts would be eligible for tax abatements if they hire at least 50 percent of their employees from within the district. Other incentives include Accelerated depreciation of plants and equipment located within the district.

Buildings would be depreciated for tax purposes over 10 years, equipment over three years. Permitting firms with up to 100 stockholders to pass tax losses along to individual investors' tax returns. Exclusion from tax of 90 percent of capital gains on property located within a designated district, compared with theurrent 60 percent. Permission to use cash accounting, which reduces administrative and start-up costs, a A 12 percent tax credit for the first $15,000 of wages that goes to employees who live in the area. The credit would be used to offset federal payroll taxes.

He countercharged that a flyer from the Daddona camp was a smear tactic. That flyer included an editorial stating that Daddona was defeated by a smear campaign in 1977. It was learned that the reprints were in flyers paid for by the late Dominic Falcone about lWmonths ago. Falcone was the man who admitted giving illegal contributions to the 1969 Daddona campaign.

She has served on that bench for the past six months as an appointee of Gov.

Thornburgh. The former Allentown attorney lost a bid for the same court two years ago. Endorsed by the Republican State Committee this year, she was expected to do well on that party ballot.
