This was disclosed yesterday when the State Department re- moved the secrecy label from another batch of official docu- ments. The advice came after a purported cease-fire offer from Vietnam Communist leader Ho Chi Minh went astray under mysterious circumstances. Declaring the United States had "no solution or plans to in- tervene," then Secretary of State George Marshall predict- :ed "We fear continuation of the conflict may jopardize the po- sition of all Western democratic powers in Southern Asia and lead to the veryeventualities of which we are most apprehen- sive." He urged France to be "most generous in the attempt to find an early solution which, by re- cognizing the legitimate desires of the Vietnamese, will restore peace and deprive anti-demo- cratic forces of a powerful wea- pon." Meanwhile, it was disclosed yesterday that China has closed its ports todRussian vessels car- rying goods bound for North Vietnam.

NEW YORK (M - Sen. G e o r g e McGovern came "one giant step closer" to a first ballot nomination as he rolled up an impressive majority in last night's New York Democratic Primary, A complex system 'and a con- fusing ballot slowed the election night count in a primary that chose 248 members of the 278- vote delegation. Partial returns showed McGov- ern had won 131 delegates in a contest in which his chief oppo- sition came from uncommitted entries. Eight of the uncommit- ted had won their races. McGovern's organization said he had clinched 163 delegates across the state. Pat Caddell, McGovern's pollster, projected an outcome that would award McGovern 205 or 206 delegates. That would mean another 25 out of the 30 delegates to be selected Saturday by the Democratic State Committee in proportion to the primary outcome. If that projection proved accu- rate, McGovern would be within 200 votes of first-ballot presiden- tial nomination. "If the present election trends continue, and I'm confident they will, we will have elected delegates here in New York to- day beyond our wildest expec- tations," McGovern, his hair flecked with confetti, told cheer- ing supporters in a New York hotel ballroom. At that point, only a handful of returns had been independ- ently tallied. The McGovern or- ganization said it had received returns showing its delegate. en- tries leading for 107 of 130 con- vention seats. The projection and the candi- date's victory claim were based on returns from sample pre- cincts tallied by McGovern cam- paigners. "It's probably not necessary for me to tell you that this brings us one giant step closer to the threshhold of a first bal- lot nomination in Miami," Mc- Govern said. 'Tm convinced now that we will win the nomination in Mia- mi Beach," he added. (According to Daily reporters Maryl Gordon and Debora Thal, McGovern spoke at length about his campaign and it's unexpect- ed success "This," he said," is what a few of us began dream- ing several years ago. Experts told us that no one would either care or listen to what we had to say. But people did care and did listen and we're seeing the re- sults of that today.") McGovern had set as his tar- get a minimum of 200 of the New York delegates. e cap- tured 41 of them unopposed. Frank Mankiewicz, national director of the McGovern cam- paign, said last night the re- turns indicated "well over 200" of the New York delegates would vote for the South Da- kota senator on the first ballot. Meanwhile, incumbent Demo- cratic Rep. William Ryan took an early 2-1 primary lead in Manhattan's West Side Con- gressional District Tuesday over Rep. Bella Abzug. redistricted out of her old area. With roughly one third of the 260 election districts reporting, Ryan led 8,982 to 4.416 over Abzug, whose floppy hats are her political trademark. In a close race, with 155 of 265 districts reporting, Brook- lyn's 84-year-old Rep. Emanuel Celler held a narrow 7,979 to 7,821 lead over district leader Elizabeth Holtzman, 30.
