The latest Associated Press-NBC News poll says Reagan draws less sup- port from women than, from men. And Jimmy Carter is the beneficiary of that difference, drawing much of the sup- port among women that Reagan fails to get. AT LEAST PART of that weakness in Reagan's appeal to women comes from his stands against both the proposed Equal Rights Amendment and abortion. Support for both is significant among all likely voters And Reagan does the worst among women who disagree with his positions on the two issues. Interestingly; independent John An- derson, a strong supporter of the ERA and opponent of efforts to ban abortion, benefits only marginally from his policy differences with Reagan and Carter. CARTER, SPENDING the weekend at Camp David, Md., was preparing for a week of campaigning in the Northeast and Midwest. Reagan, taking a break in the middle of a two-week coast-to-coast swing, was staying at his California ranch near Santa Barbara. Anderson, in a 12-hour blitz, spoke to students at the University of Maine at Orono, then went to Bangor, Burlington, Vt., and Boston. Reagan planned to leave his ranch tomorrow en route east to Des Moines and other stops, reaching Washington at the end of the week. CARTER HAS scheduled an excur- sion tomorrow to New York, and visits from later in the week to Detroit Dayton, Ohio, and Philadelph The AP-NBC poll, taken through Wednesday, says Rea choice of 45 percent of the m voters, while Carter is the ci percent-a 14-point edge. Inc candidate Anderson is the ch percent and the rest were uni named others. In contrast, the women am voters split their votes wit) getting 39 percent and Cart women and Flint, cent, with Anderson garnering 13 per- ia. cent. Thus, Reagan enjoys a clear Monday margin among men and only a rough agan is-the split among women. iale likely REAGAN IS strongly opposed to hoice of 31 abortion and opposes ratification of the dependent ERA. Carter and Anderson support the ioice of 13 ERA. Carter personally opposes abor- decided or tion, but he has said he does not support a constitutional amendment to bai Long likely a bortion. Anderson has come ou h Reagan strongly for the right of a woman to er 36 per- have an abortion. Both abortion and ERA are backed by people likely to cast ballots on Nov. 4, the AP-NBC poll said. A woman's right to an abortion is favored by a 72-24 margin among likely voters, with the remainder not sure. The ERA is backed by a 41-28 edge, with 13 percent saying they are not sure and 18 percent saying they haven't heard of it. ON BOTH ISSUES, Reagan does bes among those who agree with him. Those who oppose the ERA favor Reagan over Carter by a 60-24 edge, with Anderson drawing 7 percent. In contrast, those who back the amen- dment give Carter 38 percent; Reagan, 29 percent; and Anderson, 21 percent.

INWIVESITYefMUSICAL 8OCIETY In Its 102nd Year LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS URGES PEACE: Polls hod ey further debates An AP News Analysis LOS ANGELES-Ronald Reagan says he'll debate President Carter if the circumstances are right-but the only thing that seems likely to end his reluc- tance is a drop in his standing in the polls. As he heads into the final month of the presidential campaign, the Republican nominee has a nine-point lead over Car- ter in the latest Associated Press-NBC News poll. AND THE prevailing feeling among Reagan's political advisers is that there's no need to run the risk of a, debate unless it takes place under the most favorable conditions for Reagan. That means a guarantee that the in- cumbent Democratic president would agree to a one-on-one debate with in- dependent presidential candidate John Anderson. Reagan had his confrontation with Anderson last Sunday in Baltimore and the Illinois congresman laced into the Republican nominee for his stands on several issues, particularly energy and taxes. ANDERSON IS a debater whose skills have been honed on the floor of the House of Representatives. He's quick and he can be savage. Having come out of his debate with Anderson with no apparent lasting damage, Reagan feels Carter ought to undergo the same trial by fire. The public position of the Reagan camp is that fairness requires that An- derson get a shot at debating the president, who turned down the League of Women Voters' invitation to par- ticipate in the Baltimore debate. FOR A WHILE, Reagan felt very comfortable allied with the non- partisan league. At first, the organization talked about placing an empty chair on the stage to give added emphasis to Carter's refusal to join the, debate. But the league got cold feet about that idea and dropped it. Then the league announced last Thursday that it was inviting Carter and Reagan to a one-on-one debate to be followed by a three-way debate in which Anderson would join the other two presidential candidates. That proposal was what Carter wan- ted all along and it infuriated many Reagan aides. That anger was reflected in Reagan aid James Baker III's response to Ruth Hinerfeld, chair- woman of the league's education fund: "YOUR SACRIFICE of this principle of fairness in succumbing to White House pressure is unseemly and will not reflect favorably upon the league," wrote Baker. The league issued yesterday an ap- peal for the three candidates-Carter, Reagan and Anderson-to settle their differences so that further debates can be held between now and Election Day 4 on Nov. 4. "We publicly call upon the candidates to give and take and to come to an agreement," Hinerfeld said in a statement. "The American people1 should not lose the opportunity to see and hear their candidates discuss the issues.", BUT WHILE all the talk about fair- ness sounds good, both Carter and Reagan put greater weight on the polls. The Republican candidate was spen- ding the weekend in Los Angeles resting and also planned to take a close look at the latest polling data compiled by Richard Wirthlin, his chief pollster. That data will help determine whether there will be any change in the Reagan position on debates. It also will be a key factor in determining where the former California governor spends his campaign time in October. THE REPUBLICAN nominee's schedule has been left very loose for the last three weeks in October in order to give him the flexibility to campaign in areas where it can do the most good. Even before examining the polling data, it's a good bet that Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania will see a lot of Reagan as the autumn leaves turn gold in October. Those are obvious states to conce trate his effort in this close election. Bu there also will be questions such as whether Carter really is threatening Reagan's hold on California's 45 elec- toral votes, and how realistic is the prospect of cutting into Carter's Southern strength. There also is the expectation, that many democrats, unhappy with Car- ter's handling of the economy or other issues, and who are saying they wil vote for Reagan of Anderson, wil revert to their traditional party loyalty when it gets closer to Election Day.

From the past, we got "T.V. Eye," "Lust for Life," "Funtime," "Niteclubbing" and more. Iggy threw in the caberet chestnut, "One for My Baby," and his sinuous phrasing in- dicates that he can play Holiday Inns and Vegas lounges if his rock ardor ever wanes. The single unifying factor that ties all of these disparate songs together is that Iggy delivers his vocal with total com- mittment and the band encourages him to reach deep by playing these songs as 'WATCH OUT WILL CGI I to have caputred the city was "a greatO lie" by Iraqi President Saddam Husseain. "This deranged man claims tonight that he has entered the city of Ahwaz," the radio said, but "the true situation in Ahwaz is a decisive respon- se to this vile lie." The radio said Iranian forces were "still launching at- tacks from Ahwaz." Iran reported heavy casualties in Iraqi air raids on the city earlier in the day. IRAQI MILITARY communiques said warplanes inflicted heavy losses on Iranian forces in a series of strikes that ranged from Ahwaz in the south to Rizaiyeh in the north, only 100 miles from the Soviet Union's border. Iraq said it lost two planes in the far-ranging raids. ?. w values. well as they have ever been played. Keyed by the grinding yet melodic guitar of Rod DuPree, the rhythm sec- tion of Michael Page on electric bass and Douglas Bowne on drums powered everything along, matching Iggy move for move. The excellent Kral (ex-Patti Smith Group) rounds out the band, doubling on guitar and (inaudible1 keyboards. You've got the picture by now. Thur- sday night's show was hot. This band delivered the "Heavy Music" that Bob Seger sings about and used to play. This was the magical Motor City rock and roll that I'd heardi about but never ex- perienced-I had figured it for provin- cialism. But Iggy delivered the real McCoy and it was wonderful.
