point, according to a nationwide
poll taken after President
Johnson announced the Vietnam
bombing halt.
The results of the poll were
released Sunday by the Sindlin
ger Daily Survey which said
that 2,019 adult Americans had
been questioned Friday and
Saturday about their presiden
tial preference. The slight
fractional lead for Humphrey
was indicated by the 1,292
persons who said they intended
casting presidential ballots
Tuesday.
Humphrey gained 0.8 per cent
compared with the results of
the Sindlinger Survey last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day before Johnson announced
the bombing halt. Nixon
dropped 2.6 per cent and third
party candidate George C.
Wallace gained 2.3 per cent.

Albert E. Sindlinger, pres
ident of the market research
firm in suburban Norwood, said
the latest results showed that
only three days before the
election the Humphrey-Nixon
race was too close to forecast
with any certainty.
"At this point in previous
elections, you would have had
about 5 per cent undecided,”
Sindlinger said. "Now we have
6.6 per cent who won’t say what
their preference is and almost
10 per cent who say they are
undecided.
"Most of them seem to be
waiting for further clarification
on Vietnam,” he said. "Clearly,
anything can happen by the
time the polls open on
Tuesday.”
Toll Rises As
Floods Hit Italy;
79 Known Killed
BIELLA, Italy (UPl)—Offi
cials said today the death toll
was almost sure to climb in the
flooding that burst dams,
buckled bridges and swept away
homes and factories of northern
Italy’s industrial heartland.
At least 79 persons were
known dead and scores were
missing and injured from the
flooding Strona Creek, police
said. It was the nation’s worst
flood since the 1966 disaster
that ruined many art treasures
in Florence.
St. Marks Square In Venice,
known by tourists throughout
the world, lay beneath five feet
of water, the worst flooding in
the city of canals in 100 years.
But the city’s art treasures
were spared.
"It looks like somebody
smashed us between two big
rocks,” one survivor told rescue
workers in the mountain villa
ges.
"Conditions are so torrible we
can’t even find out who is
missing where,” a police
spokesman said. "We are afraid
it is much worse than we
suspect.”
The 72-hours of non stop rain
left hundreds of square miles of
northern Italy under a much as
6.5 feet of water.
The worst was in the Mosso
Valley region 36 miles northeast
of Turin where the Strona Creek
swept everything in its path.
The torrents of rain came
with the first big storm of the
season, which also flooded parts
of England and left as much as
20 inches of snow in parts of
northern Scotland.
A British Navy submarine
picked up survivors of a
Liberian tanker which broke in
two in heavy seas off Spain.
An earthquake smashed a
school, a church and many
homes Sunday on Yugoslavia's
southern coast.
