In Sacramento Carter campaign aides challenge Poll accuracy ahead of a four state TV appeal. Powell says Gallup’s sample is flawed and calls California field poll showing Ford ahead by six points unreliable. Carter plans to regroup after claims of underdog status. Also noted is a Plains church membership denial for Rev. Clennon King.
The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration reports seven-state pilot finds smugglers buying cheap tobacco states and bootlegging cigarettes. Arrests total 38 with 34,000 cartons seized as losses could reach hundreds of millions in missing taxes. Stewart cites New York losses of about 110 million on four million cartons.
The Daito Maru No. 58 reported catching a submerged Soviet nuclear sub in the Sea of Okhotsk about 160 miles off Kamchatka.

Russian photos indicate a modern nuclear attack sub with eight missiles and eight torpedo tubes, 5000 ton displacement, crew of 100.
In New York AP report, Carter and Ford each run half hour on major networks for last minute campaigning. Carter airs on ABC and CBS at 3 pm and 10 pm ET, while Ford presents a three segment film and talk show on NBC. Advertising costs run into tens of millions as campaigns push to sway undecided voters.
In the campaign, Stella Nackel of Vermont and Dixy Lee Ray of Washington contend for state chief executives while women seek battleground Senate seats and confront challenges in matching male incumbents.
