In either case, most say they get enough information to make informed choices, according to a Media General-Associated Press poll. Forty-two percent of the 1,464 adult Ameri cans in the nationwide telephone poll said news papers were their prime source of information about candidates. Thirty-nine percent said they learned about candidates primarily from tele vision news programs. The rest of the respondents got most of their news from a variety of sources: magazines, radio, political advertisements and friends. Overall, about two-thirds of the respondents said they got enough information to make in formed choices, while about one-third felt they were not getting enough information. Many of those who did not get enough infor mation said they wanted more unbiased back ground information, and they also thought more in-depth coverage, more debates, and personal appearances by candidates would be useful. Respondents were asked, “Where do you get most of your information about political candi dates,” and the answers provide a portrait of how diverse groups of Americans get their political news. Younger people preferred TV more fre quently than older people: 43 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds used it as their primary source of in formation, compared with 36 percent of 35- to 54-year-olds, 37 percent of 55- to 64-year-olds, 1 An * 0 |* i ne also more likely than registered voters to com plain that they did not get adequate informatii to make informed voting choices. Forty-five percent of men and 39 percent# they and 40 percent of those over 65. College graduates preferred newspapers more frequently than those who were less educated: 55 jercent of college graduates got most of their in- ormation from newspapers, compared with 45 percent of those who attended college but did not graduate, 36 percent of high school grad uates, and 28 percent of high school dropouts. £ White respondents were about equally split be lles tween television and newspapers but blacks pre ferred television to newspapers for their political news by a 52 percent to 26 percent margin. Among registered voters, 44 percent said newspapers were their primary source of politi cal news, while 38 percent preferred television. Among those who were not registered, 29 per cent said newspapers were their main source of news, and 46 percent said television. Those who were not registered to vote were women said they got most of their political ii mation from newspapers. Television was prt ferred by 37 percent of the men and 41 perccr of the women. Respondents in the Media General-Associatt: Press poll included a random, scientific samplim of 1,464 adults across the country Sept. 8-1 with all sample surveys, the results of MediaGe; eral-AP telephone polls can vary from the opt ions of all Americans because of chance variatic in the sample. For a poll based on about 1,400 interviews,tk results are subject to an error margin of 3 pe centage points either way because of chance n riations in the sample. Tnat is, if one could ha: questioned all Americans with telephones, thm is only 1 chance in 20 that the findings woulc vary from the results of polls such as thisonek more than 3 percentage points Of course, the results could differ fromotk polls for several reasons, including differences exact wording of questions, in the timing ofintei il views and in the interview methods. Republicans expect to gain in gubernatorial elections WASHINGTON (AP) — Republi cans are almost certain to score gains in governor’s races Tuesday, but it would take a sweep of 10 tossup con tests for them to come out of the 1986 elections with their goal: a ma jority of the nation’s governorships. A survey of the races by Asso ciated Press reporters in the 36 states electing governors this year found Democratic candidates appeared safe in 11 states and leaning ahead in two more. In five other states the Republican was safe and four more states were leaning GOP. The remaining 14 states, a sur prisingly large number, remain toss- ups going into Election Day. But Re publicans must win 10 of those 14 neck-and-neck races if they are to capture a gubernatorial majority for the first time since 1969. “There’s just too many close ones to call,” said Chuck Dolan, director of the Democratic Governors’ Asso ciation. In an election-year arithmetic that favors the GOP, Democrats find themselves defending 27 of the 34 governorships they now hold. The GOP, with 16 governors, is defend ing only nine. The races that could go either way on Tuesday are largely in states now held by Democrats — Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Hawaii, Arizona, Alaska, Wyoming, Alabama and Wisconsin. Three of the too-close-to-call races are in states now held by the GOP: Oregon, Tennessee and Penn sylvania. Most of the endangered Demo cratic governorships are being va cated by popular incumbents. But two Democratic incumbents are try ing to withstand fierce GOP opposi tion: in Texas, where Gov. Mark White still slighdy trails the man he defeated four years ago, former Gov. Bill Clements, and Wisconsin, where Gov. Anthony Earl has been E ressed by Republican legislative :ader Tommy Thompson. The Democrats’ most prominent governor, possible presidential can didate Mario Cuomo of New York, has an easy race for his second term. Also expected to win are Democratic incumbents in Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Massachusetts, Georgia, Ar kansas, Connecticut and Ohio. Also regarded as safe are Democratic can didates in Idaho and Maryland. In Vermont, Democrauc Gov. Madeleine Kunin is leading but could fall short of the 50 percent she needs to keep the three-way race from being oecided by the legis lature. Colorado, a state the GOP had hoped to gain, also leans Demo cratic. California Gov. George Deukme- jian appears likely to win a second term against Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, one of two candidates seeking to become the first black elected governor in that state. The other black is long-shot GOP nomi nee William Lucas in Michigan. Among states leaning Republican, Illinois Gov. James Thompson was leading over Adlai Stevenson, a Democrat running under a third- party banner. Exile invents game touting coup intrigue MIAMI (AP) — Have a Han kering to be president, but fino elections too bothersome? Then try playing Imernatioiu Intrigue, a board game inventec by a Bolivian exile for anyoot who has ever dreamed about top pling a government. Domingo Linale, 43, tht game’s inventor, is a veteran pit* ter. He served as a provincialgo> ernor after a 19/1 coup, ami played a part in the last successful military takeover in 1980. When that regime was overthrown n 1982, he fled. “1 tried to make the game as realistic as possible,” said Linale,i naturalized U.S. citizen, fromhu suburban home in Miami. “This is as close as you can get." In International Intrigue,play ers can choose whether to defend the government or try to takei: over. The players also decide whether they prefer to be tht right wing or the left.

The report, which has not been released, concludes that within two weeks of mobilization, Soviet led Waraw Pact forces would have a 2V2- to-1 edge in firepower over the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, counting troops, planes, tanks and personnel carriers. NATO could defend Europe even if the Warsaw Pact held a 1 Vz-to-1 edge, the report says, but West Eu ropean countries over the years have balked at U.S. calls to increase the size of their forces. Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorba chev says President Reagan agreed to the total elimination of all nuclear weapons at the Iceland meeting, and initial statements by administration spokesmen concurred. But the White House now says that Reagan had in mind a deal that would have maintained the nuclear n:“ rr f n f in L Euro P e - “d ‘hat ap- lenflt.i" ,e ff’c on ty Cumulation ac- ofF,daU ■ SandNATOmi h‘ary Pentagon spokesmen, asked to de- eliminatine: all nuclear rig all weapons would affect the balance of power in Europe, said they were on White House orders not to com ment. They are on record, however, as saying that the Soviet Union enjoys a significant edge in non-nuclear forces in Europe and that without the nuclear threat, the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization probably could not withstand Soviet attack. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., consid ered one of the leading military ex perts on Capitol Hill, has criticized proposals for the elimination of all ballistic and all nuclear weapons, saying that either could jeopardize NATO. European leaders have voiced concern over some of the proposals that the White House says Reap agreed to in Iceland. Reagan and Gorbachev mered out a deal whereby all iniei mediate missiles would be tale from Europe, the Soviet Uniot could keep 100 warheads aboari medium-range missiles in Asia an! the United States could retain tk same number in America. Three weeks after the Iceland summit, which reached an impas over Reagan plans for develop® advanced anti-missile weapons, tk U.S. and Soviet sides differ ovtt what was agreed upon in Iceland. Administration officials say ti although Reagan cited the din® tion of all nuclear weapons as eventual goal, he agreed onlyoni proposal to phase out ballistic mf siles over 10 years, starting with ai! 1 ! percent reduction in strategic del ery systems.
