Monday's polls showed Walter Mondale behind, but didn't agree on how much. A Washington Post-B- C News poll showed Reagan leading MonSunday 18 dale by percentage points (57-3- 9 percent). However, a National Public Radio-Lou-is Harris weekend poll showed the gap narrowing to an 11 -- point Reagan lead (55-4- 4 percent). Mondale, who is gaining in the polls, predicted a Harry Truman-styl- e upset and told audiences Monday, 'Tolls don't vote, people vote." In California, a state whose 47 electoral votes comprise almost of the number needed for a victory, Mervin Field poll shows Reagan leading by 16 points as of one-six- th Sunday. However, another poll indicated that Mondale is within striking distance. Utah polls indicate President Reagan is assured another whopping victory margin in the state. Studies show him winning with at least 70 percent of the vote. The race for the 2nd Congressional District seat is less certain. In Utah, two polls disagree over who .is ahead between Democrat Frances Farley and Republican David Monson. A poll by The Salt Lake Tribune published Sunday and completed just last Thursday, shows Farley ahead 49 percent to 45 percent. But the Deseret itotw-KS- L survey, conducted Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, showed Monson ahead by only 1 percentage point. "This is the hardest race I've ever done," said Danjones, who polls for the Deseret News and KSL. "One day, most of the people are for Monson and the next day most of the people are for Farley. It's an extremely hard race to figure, out." Polls by the Tribune and the Deseret News both show GOP candidate Norm . Bangerter leading Democrat Wayne Owens. The Republicans are expected to capture the governor's seat Tuesday for the first time in 20 years.C- However, the Deseret News gives Bangerter a wider margin (53-4- 1 percent) than the Tribune does. The Tribune has Bangerter at 52 percentand Owens at 43 percent. The Deseret News showed Sunday that 6 percent of those polled were still undecided. Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Gwen Dapp, of the Voting Information Center, urged people to vote as early in the day as possible to avoid long lines. "We suggest that voters don't wait until 5 p.m. to vote. If you aren't working, go during the day when it isn't busy," she said. The busiest polling times are between 7 p.m. Anyone who isn't in line by 8 p.m. won't be able to vote because the doors will be locked at that time, she said.

"Either a driver's license, or a letter with your address on it will come in handy in case you need to prove your residence," Dapp said. When people go away for the summer, the records often show they have moved. Although people are scldott challenged, it is good to have proof, she said. People who registered recently should have received a voter registration card. Others who have voted before should already be on the books. To ask about where or how to vote, call the Voting Information Center at to negotiate with a private developer in building a $13 million spring.

Major opponents to the center are neighbors of Research Park who are concerned with traffic problems. Mary Anne Webster, the Yalecrest neighborhood council president, attended the meeting and asked that the neighborhood councils be notified in advance when there are major developments. "We're not getting enough cooperation from the city," said Webster. U. President Chase N. Peterson said the Institutional Council would consult with the neighborhood committees. Emanuel Floor, Institutional Council member, said traffic seems to be the main concern. There are no long-terplans for m dealing with the problem of growing traffic. continued on page two tiudeot IRepufolncainis gather for 'Fritzbusting' by Marilyn Abildskov Chronicle staff Bangerter is elected, he will break 20 years of Democratic dominance at the state house.
