Carey is expected to mount a strong drive for reelection, especially since he has been mentioned prominently as a possible fusion mayoral candidate next year. A loss to Gangemi would shatter any dreams Carey has of becoming mayor. DEFECTIONS: Gov. Rockefeller's announcement last week that 10 Democrats had endorsed President Nixon raised the question of whether defectors from one party to another can translate their crossover into votes.

There wasn't a single real Democratic Party power in the entire bunch so one has to wonder if that endorsement really has any meaning. Included among the 10 was Marie Finley, a former vice chairman of the Brooklyn Democratic organization who has been out of the picture for several years and has failed in a comeback try. Also Charles A. Murphy and Mrs. Emily Dee, former Queens district leaders, both of whom lost reelection bids last June because reapportionment wiped out their power bases.

It's doubtful any of these could swing votes since they have nothing to offer a constituent in retUThese endorsements are further diluted when the other side, in this case the Democrats, turns around and forms a defectors' committee from the opposite party. This is exactly what the Democrats did the day after Rockefeller's announcement when they came up with a Republicans-for-McGovern committee. No names were released but it seems certain there be any Republican powerhouses store windows and gave each merchant scores of pamphlets to distribute to their customers. The pamphlets with the word "help" on the front, urged resi-. dents to "let's get New York City clean." Merchants and householders were asked to put garbage in sturdy plastic and paper refuse bags and to sweep sidewalks regularly.

Added Requests They were also urged to sweep the gutters where possible, to park legally, especially where alternate side of the street cleaning is involved, to use litter baskets, to clean up after dogs and to dump refuse and garbage legally. The pamphlets list a number of Sanitation Department phones to call. Information may be obtained by calling 566-5442; complaints to 964-1800 and calls for help to 566-5132.

The couple were taken to the City Hospital at Elmhurst where the girl was pronounced dead. Rotella was treated for cuts of the face and legs and released.
