McCarthy served three terms in Congress from 1965 through 1971 and had regarded his recent effort as the beginning of a political comeback. Niagara County Summary: Niagara County voters joined with their neighbors to the east in Orleans County and gave the Republican ticket an across-the- board endorsement yesterday in the congressional, state and county contests. In the congressional race be- tween Rep. Henry P. Smith III, R-N. Tonawanda, and former congressman Richard Max Mc- Carthy, a Democrat, Niagara County came through with 51,127 | votes for the incumbent to Mc- Carthy's 38,371. f Added on to the showing in Orleans County, Smith polled over 60,000 votes to the Demo- crat's 50,000, according to late returns this morning. The State Senate contest be- tween Republican Lloyd A. Pat- erson, Niagar Couny treasurer, and James A.

Voters also approved an amendmentlengtheningtheterm of office for district attorneys but rejected amendments invol- ving sate constitutional conven- tions and the creation of a judi- cial department on Long Island.

Out of the $1.15 billion the state will borrow, 81 per cent will go to municipalities. The other 19 per cent will be used on state conservation projects. - The breakdown provides $650 million to stop water pollution; $150 million to combat air pollu- tion; $175 million to save valu- able land and $175 million for Republicans May Have Problems By MIKE FEINSILBER WASHINGTON (UPI)-Pres- ident Nixon's enormous victory Tuesday was so singularly personal that in the long run it may create serious problems for his party and ignite smoldering bitterness among Republicans. Nixon planned his victory that way. Deliberately, he sat on his coattails. \ Given the option between endangering the size of his landslide or spending some of his political effort to elect Republicans to Congress, Nixon chose a go-it-alone, close-to-the- vest strategy. So sweeping was his victory, so far ahead of his party did he run, that he is now both independent of the GOP and cratic candidate Stanley A. Brzezinski by a total of 28,717 to 19,774 votes. In the race for the new Coun- ty Family Court judgeship, John F. Halpin received a combined Republican-Liberal vote of 42,- 766 in Niagara County to Demo- cratie - Conservative Anthony Certo's 42,364, according to the latest available information. Niagara County voters also gave their approval to Proposi- tion One, the $1.15 billion, En- vironmental Quality Bond Act of 1972 by a vote of 39,160 to 20,784. ' This was in line with voting results from the rest of the state where the act appeared headed for passage this morning by a nearly two-to-one margin in New York State. Niagara voters also had to | contend with adoption or rejec- tion of a proposed county char- ter calling for the election of a county executive.

His goal now is history, not partisan victory. His interests will not always coincide with those of his party. - When Lyndon B. Johnson overwhelmed Barry M. Goldwa- ter in 1964, some proclaimed the death of the Republican party. . But the enormity of their loss forced the Republicans to swing to a centrist position while the Democrats, in their abundance of numbers, splintered into warring factions. , Now the -Democrats may move toward the center-away from the prairie idealism of George S. McGovern-while Republican liberals and conser- vatives compete for the mantle Nixon must abandon in 1976. Johnson, in 1964, sensing a victory, campaigned for and won a Democratic Congress. Nixon, in 1972, sensing a victory, all but avoided tying himself to his party's banner; emc cis ae Donation $ Three GOP Judges ‘ Heavy =_ Win Close Decision By CLARENCE D. BASSETT ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI)- The three Republican candidates won a close decision Tuesday in the seven-way race for three Court of Appeals judgeships. Despite heavy support for the three Democratic nominees in New York City districts, late totals showed the GOP candi- dates apparently carried to vic- tory by overwhelming support from upstate voters. The winners were Dominick . Gabrielli of Bath, a justice of the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court; Hugh R. Jones of New Hartford, a former State Bar Associationpresident who headed a state committee on prison reform after Attica, and Sol Wachtler of Kings Point, a Supreme Court justice. With 12,392 of 12,948 districts counted Gabrielli R-C, had 3,- 095,906 votes; Jones, R-C, 2,- 933,216; Wachtler, R-L, 2,849,- 114; Bernard S. Meyer, D-L, 2,838,435; Lawrence H. Cooke, D-C, 2,843,083; Mrs. Nanette Dembitz, D, 2,615,649, and M. Henry Martuscello, L, 218,019. A decision by State Demo- cratic Chairman Joseph Crangle to abandon an agreement with the GOP, that the two major parties cross endorse candidates to the state's highest court, cost his party two judgeships. Crangle made the decision, apparently in the belief that Democrats could sweep all three of the $49,665-a-year seats. The three justicesretiring be- cause they reached the age limit of 70 are James Gibson of Hudson Falls, a Republican, andJohn F. Scileppi, of Queens and Francis Bergan of Albany, both Democrats. Therefore, if Crangle had al- lowed tradition to stand, his party would have been assured of two of the three posts. The unorthodox campaign for the three judgeships was ex- . per sive. _ Wachtler, of Kings Point,out- - spent the other contestants dur- > ing the fall campaign, buying a large amount of television and radio time, and spending be- tween $166,000 and $200,000. Mrs. Dembitz, who engaged in a double campaign because of her successful challenge of the regular party choice in the June primary, spent at least | $175,000 - $77,017 going forthe primary battle. The Manhattan Family Court Judge had report- ed $45,000 of her campaign funds came from a loan and $25,000 from members of her family. , Mrs. Dembitz' candidacy stir- red controversy during the . campaign when the State Bar solid waste disposal plants. The only amendment to be approved will eventually set the term of office for all district attorneys in the state at four years. Presently, only the five | district attorneys in New York City and the one in Erie County are elected for four years. All - others serve three-year terms. The environmental bond re- ceived surprising support from upstatevoters who traditionally: have rejected bond issues. Last year, a $2.5 billion trans- portation bond was turned down, with upstaters casting a large \no' vote. One of the defeated amend- ments called for a 10-year post- ponement on asking voters whe- ther they wanted to call a state constitutional convention. The other would have created a new * judicial department for Suffolk and Nassau counties. The bond, editorially endorsed by most newspapers in the state, was backed by a relatively low- key campaign, with the most publicity stemming from a bi- cycle tour by Diamond from Ni- agara Falls to New York City. Thestate'sConservativeparty offered only mildopposition, say- ing the issue should have been placed on a later ballot and more thoroughly itemized. To Be Auctioned % Association failed to rate her as \qualified.\ That action prompted her to accuse the J“- sociation of sex discrimination and a lack of due process. A group of lawyers started suit in her behalf. | © Sex became an issue in her % campaign, with most of her campaign spots on radio and TV and ads in newspapers at- tempting to turn the bar's ap- praisal to her advantage. Women's lib groups pushed for a \bullet vote\ drive, ask- ing voters to vote for \Dem- bitz only,\ so that the only woman in the seven-way contest would outscore all of the men. The effectiveness of this device remained in doubt. Despite the fact a judicial code of ethics restricts the can- didates from campaigning on issues, such as abortion, capi- tal punishment or busing, Wachtler raised many eyebrows with one of the ads in his ex- tensive TV campaign. _ The ad, which featured the Nassau County Republican talk- ing about the need to put mur- derers and violent crilinals be- hind bars, was withdrawn 'by Wachtler midway through the The need for judicial reform was an issue supported by all of the candidates. .

Today, 75 of the B52s - an estimated 2,250 tons of bombs-the greatest attack on the area during a 24-hour period since the war began, un \ records showed. There were 20 strikes in Quang Tri June 28 but none in the DMZ. The command said all targets .» were from nine to 24 miles ~ above demolished Quang Tri City. The DMZ-official divid- ing line between North and South Vietnam-is six miles -wide there, but the meandering Cua Viet and Thach Han Rivers which slice Quang Tri Province in half are the real dividers, with opposing forces on. each The Command said there was a single B52 strike into North Vietnam on Tuesday, 51 miles nnorthwest of the port city of - Vinh, 137 miles above the Demilitarized Zone.
