Op-Ed article by Greg Kelly, former Marine jet pilot, says contrary to claims of Pres Bush and Sen John Kerry, morale of American service members in Iraq is not determined by politicians, pundits or press; says their spirits stem from more mundane concerns about everyday life in warfare, and their officers are more concerned about troop welfare than political debate; scores House Armed Services Committee for asking recently returned soldiers to weigh in on politically charged debates about Iraq; says citing troop morale to advance political campaign is unwelcome politicization of institution that strives to remain apolitical; drawing (M)

POLL SHOWS TIE; CONCERNS CITED ON BOTH RIVALS

Adam Nagourney
New York Times/CBS News poll finds presidential race in tie two weeks before Election Day, with voters sharply critical of Pres Bush's record in office but holding strong reservations about Sen John Kerry; finds Bush's job approval rating is 44 percent, dangerously low number for incumbent president, and one of lowest of his tenure; majority of voters say they disapprove of way Bush managed economy and war in Iraq, and echo Kerry's charge that Bush's tax cuts favored wealthy; say Kerry would do better job of preserving Social Security, creating jobs and ending war in Iraq; majority of Americans see Kerry as untrustworthy politician who will say what he thinks people want to hear; over 50 percent of respondents echo Bush's charge that Kerry is liberal; poll was conducted over four days after final debate; some other polls taken at that time show Bush in slightly stronger position among likely voters; variations reflect difficulty of determining who is going to vote, particularly in campaign in which both sides have invested so many resources in registering new voters; graphs (L)

Estimated 208 Iraqis were killed in war-related incidents in week of Oct 11-17, significantly higher than average week; 23 members of United States military died over same period; tally remains imprecise and does not fully answer many questions, including how to distinguish civilians from insurgents, and how to reconcile contradictory accounts of same death; deaths of Iraqis, particularly civilians, have become increasingly delicate topic; Iraqi Health Ministry recently stopped giving journalists casualty figures, which are clearly embarrassment to government as well as to Americans; many Iraqis blame American airstrikes and other military actions for taking lives of innocents, but they also believe that foreign fighters are behind suicide attacks that tend to kill more Iraqis than Americans; United States military emphasizes that targets of its actions have been insurgents; it blames insurgents for other deaths and damage that results from raids; map of Iraq showing where deaths occurred in week cited; photo (M)
