Yankelovich said the interviews In Final Poll Gallup Shows Will Vote for Nixon By TED KNAP Scripps- Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 Despite some narrowing of the gap in the last few days of the campaign, public opinion polls indicate President Nixon will be presented a landslide victory over Democratic Sen. George McGovern by the record 80 million to 85 million voters expected to turn out for tomorrow's presidential election. If the polls are as accurate as they have been for more than 20 years, McGovern will suffer a defeat comparable to those of Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964 and Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1956.

Winfield Dunn said today he had been advised by the state department of transportation that the two westbound lanes of Interstate 40 on Roosevelt Mountain in Roane County will be open to traffic on Nov. 18. The Governor said while some work remains to be completed, no hitch is expected unless bad weather should force delays. He said the plan is to open the two lanes, one of which will be used for eastbound traffic, in time for the UT-Ole Miss Homecoming football game, and the UT-Kentucky game a week later. "Completion of this section," said the Governor, "should save motorists at least 30 minutes driving time on trips between Nashville and Knoxville." Gov.

Dunn explained that one lane of the 9.4-mile section will be used for westbound traffic, the other for eastbound, except on the steepest section where provisions are being made to provide two lanes for westbound vehicles, and one lane for eastbound traffic. The Governor said completion of the entire project, including the two eastbound lanes, is expected next summer or fall.

Wages Limited Parliamentary sources said Heath probably would announce a 90-day statutory freeze on prices and incomes to be followed by a longer period during which weekly wage increases would be limited to $4.70 and price rises to 5 per cent. In his cabinet shakeup, Heath named Sir Geoffrey Howe, 45, to the new cabinet post of minister for trade and consumer affairs His duties will involve protecting consumers against unfair trade practices and reporting price control violations.

By American Party Candidate Wallace Reported Planning 1976 Race By KEN MINK News- Sentinel Staff Writer American party vice-presidential candidate Tom Anderson, in an exclusive interview with The News-Sentinel, said today Gov. George Wallace has told him Sen. George McGovern will be in tomorrow's election, leaving the door open for the Alabama governor to win the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976. Mr.

Anderson, of Pigeon Forge, said Gov. Wallace told him this "when I talked to him about 10 days but expressed personal doubts the Alabama governor who has been confined to a wheelchair since being shot by a would-be assassin last spring will have recovered by 1976. 'Bad Shape' Denied by Aide "Doctors have said there is a 50-50 chance he may not even live until 1976," said Mr. Anderson. "He's in pretty bad shape.

He has to be turned over every two hours. Nobody but George Wallace would be even thinking in terms of 1976, considering his health." Billy Joe Camp, Mr. Wallace's press secretary, told The NewsSentinel by phone today: "I don't know what doctors Mr. Anderson talked to, but none of the doctors around here have told us anything like that. Mr.

Wallace is progressing, even though there has been no marked improvement in the paralysis. their organizations conducted throughout the weekend indicated some narrowing of the gap, primarily among Democrats and partly because of a letdown from the Vietnam peace hopes of a week ago. "You're beginning to get some softening of belief that peace is at hand," Harris said. Yankelovich said the slippage for Nixon was "not big," and he predicted the President will win reelection by "little landslide" of 55 per cent or more of the votes cast.

McGovern Raps Nixon on Peace President Accused of Intensifying War By ROBERT DIETSCH Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ENROUTE WITH McGOVERN, Nov. 6 Sen.

George McGovern barnstormed from coast to coast today in his final day of campaigning after charging that President Nixon's latest announcement about Vietnam peace prospects is a "fabric of deceit and deception," "a trick," "a cruel fraud" and "the big lie." In a television address on Vietnam last night, his second in three days, the Democratic that the President didn't dare presidential nominee charged send his peace negotiator, Dr. Henry Kissinger, meet with the North Vietnamese before tomorrow's election to iron out what Kissinger called minor differences. McGovern said the differences really on "irroconcilable conflict" that will become apparent when Kissinger meets with Hanoi. The senator continued to criticize President Nixon today, a day which started in New York City and took the candidate to Philadelphia, Los Angeles and then to South Dakota, his home state. McGovern and his wife, Eleanor, will spend tonight in Sioux Falls and vote tomorrow in Mitchell.

In his latest campaign appearances, McGovern said the President "rules like a Roman emperor who ignores the people and the Congress on things like the war and domestic legislation." Last night's address on Vietnam resulted from a switch in McGovern's plans. He had intended to repeat Friday night's taped speech but decided on an even tougher one. His aides had advised him that blue collar workers are being won over by See McGOVERN, Page A-2 Promises Election Coverage CBS Labels Cable Cutting as Sabotage Compiled From Press Dispatches NEW YORK, Nov. 6 The Columbia Broadcasting System described as sabotage yesterday the slashing of cables which prevented the telecast of a pro football game. The network said, however, it will be able to proceed with its election coverage tomorrow night despite the strike of cameramen, technicians and engineers.

The strike by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), which began Friday, also resulted in the cancellation of a political view show and a number of other pro football games. CBS said the strike "will not affect our broadcasting of returns to the fullest extent" on election night. Carried Other Game proportions over Sen. 1972 presidential campaign approaches election day.

In the final week of the campaign, Nixon has made gains in the South and is headed to receive the largest majority of the popular vote in that region of any Republican presidential candidate since the founding of the Republican party. While Nixon has made substantial gains in the South in recent days, these gains have been offset by losses to McGovern outside the South. Interviewing in today's final pre-election survey was conducted between Thursday, Nov. 2 and noon on Saturday, Nov.

'The polls showed Nixon with fairly uniform strength in all regions and among nearly all population groups except blacks and youths.

270 Required State-by-state surveys indicate Nixon is likely to capture more than 450 of the electoral votes. It takes 270 to win. Massachusetts is the only state in which a poll shows McGovern leading, and he is regarded as a sure winner in the predominantly black District of Columbia. Massachusetts has 14 electoral votes and the District three. McGovern is an even bet in Wisconsin (11 votes), West Virginia (6) and his home state, Awaiting Election South Dakota (4).

Winning all five would give him 38 votes. The Democrat also is given a fair chance of winning in California, Michigan, Minnesota and Rhode Island, four states with a total of 80 votes. Youths Up Total Nixon is heavily favored in the remain.ng 42 states, including all of the South and Southwest and the Rocky Mountain and Plains states. McGovern, who started and finished with the Vietnam War as his main issue, concentrated in the past few days on accusing Nixon of raising false peace to help himself get reelected."
