Siill Supported ,, The Times and the Post said the USIA study showed that although favorable public opinion toward the unitea States and President Elsen hower had dropped In Britain and France after the summit failure, this country still was supported over the' Soviet Union. ' ' The newspapers said the survey indicated a decline in faith in America's ability as world leader. : "Particularly In Great Brit- aln, current confidence is low in America's capacity for leadership' in dealing with present world problems," the Times quoted the report as dating. , ' Dipped The Post said 24 per cent of those questioned in France and 35 per cent of those queried in Britain felt the United States was providing "not very much" leadership against 38 and 27 per cent who believed this country was giving "considerable" leadership.

Herter and USIA Director George V. Allen, Hagerty said Wednesday. But Chairman John-E. Moss, (D-Calif.), of the House in formation subco m m i 1 1 e e, which Is investigating the matter, laid the suppression squarely on Eisenhower.

Reason is that voter regis trations far exceded earlier estimates in the county, it was explained. ; An Aug. 30 directive from suggested the county elec tions department figure the number of voters pamphlets needed for the Nov. 8 general election on the basis of the primary -election registration plus 10 per cent. This, the state officials said, would cover the normal voter in crease. Using this basis, the county ordered 38,700 pam phlets plus 250 more for late registrations. But total regis tration went up to 38,130. Jackson county election of ficials also estimate they may have 2,000 absentee voters, which will be equal to Lane county's expectations. Lane county is the second largest county i in . Oregon,' it was pointed out. Possible reason for the large number of ex pected absentee voters is that opening of elk hunting season Is during the general election.
