48 CENT Goldberg Winner In New York; To Run Against Rocky ALBANY, N.Y. Arthur J. Goldberg, seeking his first elective office, won the New York state Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday and will try to stop Gov. Nelson A. Rockfeller's bid for an unprecedented fourth term in November.

Rep. Richard L. Ottinger who reportedly spent more than $1 million on television, radio and newspaper advertising in his campaign, won the four-way race for the Democratic nomination to oppose GOP Sen. Charles E. Goddell.

Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell seeking his 14th term, was upset by Charles Rangel, a black member of the New York State Assembly. Goldberg's close victory over upstate millionaire industrialist Howard J. Samuels, followed a lackluster campaign. 13,000 Districts Counted With more than 13,000 of the state's 13,735 districts counted, the vote was Goldberg 491,257 Samuels 412,635. Samuels, who was undersec- tary of commerce in the Johnson administration, refused to concede and was expected to ask for a recount.

Goldberg's chances appeared to be enhanced by the showing of Senator Basil A. Paterson, the first Negro to run for lieutenant Governor.

The Tonkin resolution gave the President permission to "take all necessary steps, including the use of armed forces" to protect American forces in South Vietnam and to aid Vietnam and other U.S. Allies in Indochina.

The House and Senate had passed the measure unanimous ly. announcement, which U.S. officials in Saigon would neither- confirm nor deny, coincided with reports that North Vietnamese and Viet Cong units were marshalling east of Phnom Penh, and that heavy fighting had broken out again at Kompong Speu, 30 miles southwest of the Cambodian capital. The U.S.

air strikes helped break the month-long siege of Kompong Thorn, a provincial capital 80 miles north of Phnom Penh, a Cambodian spokesman said. Neither the Pentagon nor the U.S. Command would comment, but this extension of the American air war appeared to be a sign of recognition by the United States that without some assist from strong U.S. firepower, the Cambodian forces might crumple under the Communist Command's growing pressure. No Details Maj.

Am Rong, the Cambodian spokesman, said he could furnish no details on the exact location of attacks, the types of U.S. jets involved, when they first went into action or the results. But eyewitness reports on Tuesday from Kompong Thorn and Skoun, another endangered Cambodian town, said U.S. pro- pellor-driven OV10 aircraft had been marking targets for South Vietnamese jet fighter-bombers supporting Cambodian troops.

The bill was first brought to a vote in the early afternoon after several hours of caucusing on it by both parties. The electronic tally board counted and recounted the votes as House leaders, who were generally in favor of the bill, waited, hoping the number in the "aye" column would climb to the needed 102.

When that number was reached, after about 30 minutes, the vote was ordered recorded and an audible sigh could be heard on the House floor. But moments later, House Speaker Herbert Fineman ordered the vote stricken from the record because an "aye" vote had been recorded for a member who was not in the House.

He said he had left the chamber and gone to the Democratic State Committee meeting in a local hotel.

He said he was, in fact, strongly opposed to the bill. Both parties immediately went to caucus for about an other hour, then the bill was brought up for another vote.

Seltzer Favors Increase, Opposes Timing Of Bill 'I didn't believe it was the proper time to vote for any ncrease," said State Rep. H. Jack Seltzer this morning concerning the approved bill to hike 'egislative expense accounts. Seltzer, in explaining why he voted against the measure, said, "In my opinion, it was the wrong time to do it." The House passed a bill Tuesday increasing 1 1 s- lators' expense accounts by $2,200, retroactive to last July 1. It would boost to $7,000 the n-accountable annual expense allowance of the 203 House members and 5 senators.

They also receive a $7,200 annual salary. Seltzer explained the added money had been provided in the budget. He explained, however, he felt it was unwise to provide the increase while the budget is unbalanced. He wasn't opposed to the idea of an increase, only to the timing. Cites Other Increases Seltzer remarked that state employes have been getting a five per cent increase annually and last year got an extra ten jer -cent increase.

Legislators, le said, haven't had a pay raise at least four years. Seltzer's Democratic opponent 'or the 101st District seat, Dr. B. P. Fitterer, said this morning he would "have second thoughts" about voting for it if he were a representative now.

Fitterer said he was "in definite agreement that the salary of the legislature is low compared to the average working man's salary" but said he would have "second thoughts about increasing the expense account." On the surface, I would have because the budget sn't balanced," he said. Rep. Harvey L. Nitrauer, 102nd District, voted for the measure but was unavailable or comment this morning. Always Need More Blood Donors Are Big Problem For Hospital By TIM AURENTZ Daily News Staff Reporter Blood, that life-giving fluid, is the most important item kept on hand in the Good Samaritan Hospital.

This fluid cannot be produced artificially. Donors are the only source, and donors are a problem at the hospital. There just isn't enough of them. More and more blood is needed each year at the hospital. One reason for this is increasingly complex surgery.

The bleeding ulcer, for example, may require an average of six or seven pints for therapy. Prolongation of lives of persons with blood diseases and more serious accidents are two more causes for the increased need for blood. Medicare offers its own unique problem for the hospital blood bank. In most cases, patients must return the blood they have received while in the hospital. A two-for-one return ratio for the first two pints of blood received is the policy at the hospital, and each pint after the first two has a one-for-one return ratio.

In the case of Medicare, the patient has only to return the first three pints of blood and the government pays for the rest. Although Medicare pays, the hospital would much rather have the blood. Last year alone, the Good Samaritan lost 193 pints of blood through Medicare. Each time a donor gives a pint of blood, he is credited with that pint. The donor can use the credit to help return blood he may later receive or the credit can be transferred to another (Continued on Page 48 CoL 1).
