Salvo (Goldberg mmkem ISoeliy. Trims 7 Mis ter Wind By SAM ROBERTS Democrat Arthur Goldberg accused Gov. Rockefeller yesterday of "out-Agnewing Agnew" and charged the governor "wobbles" from left to right politically with the re By JOSEPH MODZELEWSKI Arthur Goldberg wants to torpedo the New York navy. The New York what? According to Goldberg's political crew, which has upped its periscope in the murky waters of the state budget. New York funds a navy of 5,000 eailors and marines, formally known as the New York Naval Militia.

The heretofore unheralded naval force was formed back in 1891 and claims a dual allegiance, first to the federal government and secondly to the governor. The state navy has no ships of its own, but four federally owned destroyers harbored at the Brooklyn Navy Yard are manned by 400 salts from the naval militia. It Tiad never occured to me, frankly, that New Jersey might be planning a water-borne invasion or that the Battle of Lake Erie was going to have to be fought all over again," Goldberg fretted over the navy's existence. Annual Budget Is Disputed "It also never occurred to me that New York-' State would spend almost half a million dollars, or Gross Seeks Spiro's Aid Although rriost New York Republicans hope that President Agnew will stay out of the campaign in this state, Nelson Gross, GOP senatorial candidate in New Jersey, feels differently. On a TV interview yesterday, Gross said he would "welcome a visit" from the veep to help out in his campaign.

that President Nixon, that champion of economy in government, would allow the federal government sults of public opinion polls. "The problem is not really Mr. Agnew it's Gov. Rockefeller," Goldberg explained, in a televised interview. "He shares the same views as Mr.

Agnew. You don't 'have to have Mr. Agnew in this state the governor is using the language of extremism." Goldberg, who was both forceful and specific in his attacks on the Rockefeller record yesterday, also- recalled that the governor singled out Paul O'Dwyer recently when linked the Democratic Party with extreme elements. O'Dwyer's views on the Vietnam war, Goldberg said, "are shared by Sen. Goodell the governor's appointee to the Senate." Paul Adams, Goldberg's Conservative rival, agreed with the vice president's description of Goodell as a "radical liberal" but wouldn't apply that label to either Goldberg or Rockefeller, whom he called "strong liberals." to lavish more than $6.5 million annually on New York's phantom fleet," landlubber Goldberg "He doesn't know what the hell he's talking resident per year.

For that sum the State of New York obtains what I consider to be excellent, inexpensive insurance in the matter of security and assistance in the event of natural disaster. Beg Off Role in Civil Unrest Asked if the naval militia would be available to the governor during riots or civil unrest, the reserve officer replied: "This is not the prime purpose of the naval militia. No one expects the sailors to be law enforcement individuals." Can the governor activate the four destrovers at ths Broklyn Navy Yard? "Negative," Connor answered. "These ships could be requested by the governor oh, I know it sounds corny for humanitarian reasons." Although the governor has never used his prerogative to call the navy men into action, Connor points out that some of his sailors had something unofficial to do with fixing generators during the big blackout here in 1965. What's more, he went on, virtually every naval reservist in the state wants to wear the two hats of reservist and militiaman.

For one thing, he points out, the men get to use the state facilities, which include "armories, ranges, bars and camps." impression which is not an honest impression. I suppose politics is about," said an officer who serves with the naval militia. The officer, who asked his name be kept out of the 'skirmish, explaned that thei state only approprates about $300,000 for the navy, and that politics," he concluded. Rockefeller also released a five- page position paper on education financing education without im posing an unreasonable real prop all its members are bona fide members of the Naval Reserve. The U.S.

pitches in about $100,000, he added. Equally amazed by the Goldberg attack was Capt. Robert Connor, USNR, commanding officer of the naval militia and, coincidentally. Republican borough president of Staten Island. "The New York Naval Militia," said Connor, "costs the taxpayers approximately two cents per erty tax burden" while preserving local control a state-aided program combining prekindergarten education with day care, state incentive erants to advance teach It Sov Hopefuls Tmgk in Debate The major party candidates for lieutenant governor clashed over the budget, narcotics, education and the campaign themes in a televised debate yesterday, with Democrat Basil Paterson and Conservative Edward Leonai-d aiming most of their assaults at the Rockefeller administration and incumbent Lt.

Gov. Malcolm Wilson. He added, however, that Goldberg "is presently connected with the wing of the Democratic Party that is movingr in the direction of the New Left." "Unfortunate Selection" Appearing on WCBS-TV's Newsmakers show, Adams a college professor also said if it were necessary to call National Guard troops to a campus, "it doesn't make sense" not to arm them. Gov. Rockefeller expressed hope yesterday that Agnew has ended his anti Goodell barrage after a "most unfortunate selection of words" in calling the senator the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican Party.

In a radio interview, the governor also defended his drug program and accused Goldberg of "twisting" facts "to try and make an impression which is not an ing technology, and a one-third subsidy for the operation of educational television stations." Crucial Days Coming Sources close to the Goltberg and Rockefeller campaigns indicated yesterday they consider the next 10 days crucial in determining whether Goldberg can reverse a downtrend in the polls or if a Rockefeller advertising blitz will assure the governor a fourth term. The Goldberg forces said that both Kennedy in-law Stephen Smith and Fred Dutton, former Kennedy aide, are playing an active role in the campaign. They still believe television advertising could be critical and hope for something like an endorsement from Mayor Lindsay to build momentum. Wilson denied Paterson's as ported the Nixon administration." When the WCBS-TV- debate turned to economics, Wilson said the state budget is balanced, but next year's outlook is unclear because of possible fluctuations in the gross national product and the uncertain fate of the President's welfare and revenue-sharing proposals. Paterson replied that although Wilson "started talking about whether or not the election this year in New York State is reflected in our national election, the first thing that he mentioned was the gross national product.

I suggest that everything that's happening in the national economy affects New York State." sertion that the state election will be a referendum on the Nixon administration's policies, saying that "the membei's of the state executive team are running on state issues."

He said that "we can't honor the 50,000 American deaths there by 10,000 more men having to lie down beside them." He called Buckley "a bristling hawk" and Buckley bristled: We are not accomplishing any attitude or integrity all without losing their good humor.

Goodell Most Outspoken Goodell, generally considered the underdog, spoke most sharply when he said Ottinger added another of "his misrepresentations and distortions" by saying the senator voted against every antipollution measure. Goodell said he had long been a fighter for antipollution measures and had sponsored legislation but added that only one such bill had been passed in Ottinger's six years in the house. Ottinger retorted that he had stopped "the rape of Grand Canyon," fought Con Ed and even blocked Gov. Rockefeller from putting a six-lane highway alongside the Hudson River. He said he had the support of many conservation groups.

"You don't want fear representing you in the Senate," he continued.

Buckley pressed the attack, citing campus riots and the rise in crime, and said "it's time we hold those who commit crimes responsible. They and not society are to blame." Goodell said that "action and not rhetoric" is needed to contain violence. "I've been to 55 campuses," he said. "I've told off the radicals and the bomb throwers. I've gone before hard hats.

Buckley didn't tell off any of the hard hats. And Buckley doesn't want a law to register guns." In the wrapup, Ottinger said the voters would decide by judging "who is fighting against Nixon? Who is taking on the big assaults on policemen as evidence. "If there any question who of us understands crime," he said, "ask your local policemen.
