New York state has 41 electoral votes, and it is generally acknowledged it would be almost im possible for Carter to win the election without them. The president was greeted by top Democratic leaders — Gov. Hugh Carey, who stayed neutral in the primaries, Mayor Edward Koch, and Democratic Senate nominee Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman — and got a rousing reception at the convention of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, which also endorsed him. Joel McCleary, Carter-Mondale campaign coordinator for New York, told reporters the pres ident is “at least even, if not ahead in upstate New York.” “That’s unheard of for a Democrat and that’s why Carter is going to win the state,” he said. But he acknowledged a “huge undecided fac tor” among Jewish voters. Carter made a pitch for Jewish votes Monday, hinting strongly the Un ited States would get out of the U.N. General Assembly if the assembly votes to oust Israel. Former Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski held a news conference Monday to announce he will head a “Democrats for Reagan” organization because, “I’d rather have a competent extremist than an incompetent moderate. ” He called Reagan an “extremist” last spring at the time he endorsed George Bush for the nomi nation. Reagan said he was “very, very happy” at Jaworski’s decision. stantdec®!

The fatigued-looking candidate, who flew to Albuquerque, N.M., Tuesday, said Carter had this week stressed that the current recession had bottomed out and accused the president of downplaying a proposed $65.2 billion budget deficit. “Carter has taken unemployment statistics (at the end of the Ford administration) that weren’t too good and made them worse,” the former ambassador and CIA director said. “He’s taken inflation that was good at 4.2 percent and doubled it. Turning to foreign policy. Bush mentioned a “craving for peace” and added, "The way the U.S. can guarantee the peace is by staying strong to deter Soviet aggression. “At Notre Dame he (Carter) said you don’t have to have that inordin ate fear of communism anymore. Then, three years later, after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, he said T don’t trust the Soviet Union.’ “It would not take Ronald Reagan three years to learn not to trust the Soviet Union,” Bush said. “It’s true that no American is being shot at under Carter’s adminis tration. But it’s also true that 52 Americans are being held hostage and the humiliation that goes with that.” In addressing the nearly all-white crowd at the Republican rally for ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac Honda SALES - SERVICE "Where satisfaction is standard equipment" 2401 Texas Ave. 779-3516 in and ijjl fen judges confirmed by Senate ans HerP ed Canal six betv' United Press International iramliM!

Should Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan win the election, many of those are unlikely to win confirmation unless they are submitted anew next year by Reagan, or are given his approval during the planned lame duck ses sion of Congress. The nominations of the 10 judges came to a vote after getting approval from a three-member Republican clearance committee appointed by Baker to go over all nominations. The members are Sens. Ted Stevens of Alaska, John Tower of Texas and Mark Hatfield of Oregon. “Today is strong evidence that we want to minimize the practices of the past to hold up nominations in an election year,” Hatfield said. shirt, 6 , or je" 1 JicationJ ic prow rveyed JfHIE/XIE?
