WASHINGTON (AP)
Two national political polls
show Jimmy Carter even with
President Ford or his edge
narrowing as the fall cam
paign enters its last month. A
third shows Carter eight
points ahead, but may be
revised on the basis of ad
ditional results..
. 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 Newhouse survey
found Carter now leading in
21 states and the District of'
Columbia, with a total of 224

The latest Gallup poll,
released on Friday, gave
Carter a 50 to 42 edge, with 8
per cent favoring other

outcome perhaps a point or

latest findings in their polls
indicate that the Nov. 2
election will be close.
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. By gaining a
few points nationwide in
popular support, the Times
said, Ford conceivably could

Scranton sketches
diplomatic forecast
WASHINGTON (AP) The
next year offers three great
opportunities in diplomacy
in arms talks, the Middle East
and in Africa—U.N. 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

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

ARGENTINA (UPI)
Military investigators,
yesterday questioned civilian

Saturday in the second at

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.

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.

interrogators were also

review.
