Hughes and Sen. William Oz- zard, R-Somerset; debated the issue yesterday before 1,000 labor leaders. Ozzard contended the bond issue would inevitably lead to a sales or income tax by 1970 to pay off the bonds. "A VOTE for the bond issue Is a vote for a broad-based tax," he said.

In the Sen ate, Hughes will have to hold the 10 Democratic votes and find one Republican vote to submit the question to a November referendum. Hughes told the labor leaders the state must either spend more on education, highways and institutions for its mentally ill and prisoners or stagnate.

Under his plan, the bond issue would be paid off from money collected from the New Jersey Turnpike's toll payers after the turnpike's own indebtedness is ended.
