The Newhouse News Service reported, meanwhile, that its joint poll with the Chicago Daily News has found that Carter has “fallen dramatically” in his elector al vote edge over Ford as several key states shifted from the Carter column to the “uncertain” category in the last two weeks.

The latest Gallup poll, released on Friday, gave Carter a 50 to 42 edge, with 8 per cent favoring other candidates or having no opinion.

The Times said the survey it conducts jointly with CBS showed Carter holding an advantage in enough states to win a majority of electoral votes, but his edge is narrow in most of those states and is dwindling in some of the most important ones. It said 11 states appear even, and in none of the im portant states does Carter’s lead exceed five or she per centage points.

Besides seizure of the fishing vessels, the Soviets in recent weeks have refused visas to two Japanese sports teams that had been scheduled to visit Moscow. They also refused entry permits for a purser and five stewardesses of Japan Air Anti-Soviet feeling was reported running high in Nemuro City, on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, where most of the seized fishing ships were based.

Ambas sador William W. Scranton said yesterday. Scranton had high praise for Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger commenting that “experience in this area counts tremendously.” Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the former Pennsylvania governor said he believes the opportunity exists next year for three things to be accomplished: A second strategic arms limitation agreement with the Soviet Union. Follow up on the efforts to keep peace and establish majority rule in southern Africa. Further progress toward a Middle East settlement. Scranton said the strength of the Israeli government and the willingness of adjacent Arab states to accept Israel are major factors providing an opportunity for movement in the Middle East. He said that Syrai, Jordan, Saudi Arabia have indicated they are willing' to have an independent Israel and he feels if stability can be established in Lebanon, there jV"*, ; • i\\ l f iota by Ken Kasper claim an edge, the Times reported. Time magazine said its September poll by Yankelovich, Skelly & White, showed Ford and Carter in a dead heat among 1,308 registered voters sampled, 43 per cent for each candidate and 14 per cent undecided. Gallup, reporting on his organization’s September poll, said the 50-42 pro-Carter finding, with eight per cent undecided, was correct but may change when fuller returns from the poll are available. is an opportunity for progress. The Palestine Liberation Organization has been damaged in the fighting in Lebanon, he said, but remains an active force in the area and the Palestinians are a factor which must be con sidered in any settlement. . Turning to the situation in Africa., . Scranton, said Kissinger had performed a near miracle on the Rhodesian question by get ting agreement on the basic principles of majority rule a transitional government and a constitutional conference. “This is the most difficult and complicated mission that anybody has ever un dertaken,” Scranton said. Asked if the United States would veto proposed sanc tions against South Africa, Scranton said he hopes they won’t come up. The cooperation of South Africa is needed in the Rhodesian and Namibian problems he said, and it is important not to alienate them. He was also asked if the United States might veto United Nations membership for Vietnam when it comes up in November, but he said he did not know. Nations to appeal for aid at meeting MANILA, The Philippines (AP) Some industrialized,nations will be appealing for help as urgently as poorer countries when the ' International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank open their joint annual meetings today. Economically strapped Britain is seeking massive IMF aid, and Italy and France want to stop the slide in the price of gold to protect the value of their reserves. Third-World nations troubled by deepening debt need still more money from the two international financial institutions and a loosening for trade barriers by richer countries. - The conference begins with addresses by World Bank President Robert S. McNamara, IMF Managing Director J. Johannes Wjtte veen and Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Major nations make their public comments tomorrow. Economics is expected to overshadow politics at the meeting, which draws together 3,000 finance ministers, bank executives and other participants in the world’s biggest display of financial power. The World Bank was established to lend money to poor countries when it was not available from other sources. The IMF is designed to stabilize the world monetary system. Poorer countries have already abandoned proposals for a moratorium on their debt to Misses Argentine head Assassination try fai BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (UPI) Military investigators, yesterday questioned civilian workers who built , a reviewing stand that blew up Saturday in the second at tempt this year to assassinate President Jorge Videla. The explosion at the Campo de Mayo army base 20 miles southwest of Buenos Aires only missed killing the president because a Signals Corps review ended 15 minutes ahead of schedule, military sources said. The bomb went off a few minutes after Videla left the reviewing stand and entered a nearby barracks. Two soldiers were injured. The plastic charge, ap parently activitated by a timing device, was placed inside one of the horizontal metal tubes of the framework just behind the national seal Trudeau has dark outlook for Canadian Libera! party TORONTO (UPI) Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau says his Liberal party is in a shambles and ill-prepared to mount the offensive needed to prevent Canada’s splitting apart amid. economic, regional and linguistic clashes. In an assessment Saturday which he said was painful to make in public, Trudeau said the party was: out of touch with grass roots;' badly organized; under-funded; not recruiting and losing traditional constituencies; under-motivated and the developed world, a key demand made at recent Third World conferences. Instead, they must keep the confidence of donor nations and institutions, like the World Bank' and IMF, that might otherwise balk at new loans with such a threat hanging over them. The U.S. delegation, led by Treasury Secretary William E. Simon, will be promoting the idea .of an international resources bank. The proposal, first advanced by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, was rejected by the United Nations Conference on Trade and j Development last May in Nairobi, Kenya. The Americans describe the bank as a means of stimulating developing nations’ output of raw materials by guaranteeing fair terms to both the producing nations and foreign investors. Its opponents contend that such-a bank would undermine the poor§ nations’ efforts to control prices of their raw materials. The chairman of the World Bank joint development committee, Ivory Coast Finance Minister Henri Konan Bedie, said yesterday that the committee would form a working group to study the resources bank proposal. Of the industrialized nations, Britain may have the most at stake here. It has asked the IMF for $3.9 billion in loans to help bolster the sagging British pound. decorating the front of the stand, sources said. The president usually stands behind the seal. Military sources said workers employed by the private firm that put up the reviewing stand were taken into custody and military interrogators were also questioning officers and enlisted men assigned to provide security during the review.
