By the Associated Press
President Ford and his running mate,
Sen. Bob Dole, found encouragement
yesterday in the results of some new
political polls as they geared up, along
with their Democratic rivals, for fresh
campaign forays across the nation.
James Baker 111, Ford's campaign
manager. claimed in a television in
terview that the latest soundings show
the President leading Jimmy Carter in
"a dozen to 14 states," with signs of
improvement in some others.
Later, following ' a post-church
strategy meeting at the White House,
Ford and Dole told reporters the
Republican ticket had taken over the
lead in Michigan, which is the
President's home state, and Kansas
which is Dole's.
"We're coming on," Ford said

The Michigan report comes four days
before Ford is to make his first official
campaign trip outside Washington, a
visit to his alma mater, the University of
Michigan, at Ann Arbor.
Whether by design or concidence,
Carter will be making his first campaign
visit to Michigan at the same time. He is
to deliver what aides said will be a
"major address" to the state AFL-CIO
convention in Dearborn on Wednesday
while Ford is speaking to the university
audience some 30 miles away.

In fact the poll, conducted for the
newspaper by Market Opinion Research
and published yesterday, showed Ford
leading Carter by seven points, 41 to 34, a
gain of three points since the previous
sampling in July. The number of un
decided voters held firm at 23 per cent.
Frederick P. Currier, president of
Market Opinion Research, said Ford's
gain appeared to be mainly among in
dependent voters.
Dole said a new poll in Kansas showed
the GOP team leading there by three
points, after having trailed by six
earlier. He said the Republicans were
leading in Illinois as well.
Baker, appearing on the CBS News

( AP) Prime Minister Eric
Williams, who has led
Trinidad-Tobago for 20 years,
is favored to win today's
general election but political
observers predict the new
chief opposition will be a
party that critics claim is
Communist.
Trinidad severed its tied to

of nine parties fielding 270
candidates for 36 seats in the

Owner Jerry Nix Says:
House conferees last week
comes up for a vote Thursday
in the House. The Senate is
expected to vote soon
thereafter.
Both House and Senate
have scheduled votes Wednes
day on a resolution setting
a congressional ceiling on
federal spending for the.Hscal
year that begins Oct. 1.
Williams' ruling People's
National Movement (PNM)
won all 36 House seats in the
last general election in May
1971 because all major op
position parties boycotted it
at the last minute.
That election was held in an
atmosphere of uncertainty
following racial rioting and
an abortive military coup in
1970. The voter turnout was
only2B per cent.
The current election is
being held amid the greatest
economic boom ever ex
perienced by this two-island,
racially mixed Caribbean
nation. Natural gas finds and
oil discoveries which have
boosted domestic crude oil
production to over 200,000
barrels a day have made
Trinidad the wealthiest
among the former British
colonies in the Caribbean.
