Survey Said To
Show American
Prestige
': Washington-fllPB-Two news
paper reported today that a
government survey . showed
public opinion of the United
States as a world power de
clined in Britain and France
after the May summit collapse
' The dispatches were pub'
lished In the New York Times
and Washington : Post and
Times Herald amid angry
Democratic criticism of the
White House for refusing to
make public a secret U. S. In
formation Agency poll re
ported to indicate U. S. pres
tige abroad has dropped.
" The Times and the Post said
a USIA study prepared in
June found an overwhelming
majority of those questioned
in Britain and France felt
.Russia was ahead of the
United States in space prog
ress. The Times said the study
also showed a majority felt
the Soviet Union was the
world's ; strongest military
Dower.
. The newspaper dispatches
were certain to fan the al
ready blazing presidential
campaign dispute over Amer
ica's standing abroad. Demo
cratic candidate John F. Ken
nedy claims U.S. prestige has
slipped during the Eisenhow
er administration. GOP nomi
nee Richard M. Nixon, backed
by President Eisenhower, as
serts it never has been higher.
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.
U.S., Ruiiia Blamtd
The Times said that al
though Russia . was . blamed
most for the summit collapse,
a majority of those question
ed by the USIA blamed both
the United States and the
Soviet Union. The ' survey,
the paper said, found no evi
dence that the U2 incident had
increased confidence in U.S
military strength as opposed
to Soviet power.
The Times said the report
was based on a poll late in
May of 1,150 British and 1,000
French residents. Both news
papers said this was not the
same survey the White House
refused to make public Wed
nesday. i .
Stamped Secret
White House Press Secre
tary James C. Hagerty said
that controversial study, also
prepared by the USIA, had
been stamped "secret" under
President Eisenhower's poli
cies on "internal working
papers of the executive
branch."
Hagerty described the re
port as "an internal, low-level
staff paper similar to many
others" in the government.
The decision to withhold
the paper had been made by
Secretary of State Christian
A. 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.
Moss said it showed the
President failed to understand
the people's right to know,
and constituted "political ir

Precincts Get
Pamphlets Late
Precincts in Phoenix, Tal
ent and in other scattered lo
cations in Jackson county will
receive their voters pam
phlets later than 'usual, the
county elections department
reported today. .
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

Nixon's Oregon
Chairman Hurls
igious Charge
Portland -(UPD- The Oregon
chairman of Vice President
Richard , Nixon's campaign
committee charged today that
suporters'of Sen. John F. Ken
nedy for president are keep
ing the religious issue alive.
A spokesman for Kennedy
denied it. .
State Sen. Anthony Yturri,
(R-Ontario), issued a statement
disapproving of a letter mail
ed to Masons urging them not
to support Kennedy because
the Democratic candidate is a
Catholic.
"I am a Catholic," Yturri
said. "Many of my co-workers
throughout the state are
Catholics. I wish to make it
clear that neither the Nixon-
Lodge Committee nor anyone
connected with this commit
tee is responsible for this ap
parent injection of religion
into the presidential:, cam
paign in Oregom" ' '
Good Faith Said Lacking .
He added, "It does occur to
me, however, that the Ken
nedy forces have not endeav
ored in good faith to eliminate
the religious ' issue. A repeat
ed rebroadcast of Kennedy's
Houston religious speech, paid
for by . the Kennedy people, is
not an indication of the desire
to avoid the religious topic."
He said the broadcasts em
body Kennedy's "repeated ef
forts to keep the religious is
sue alive ..."
iStan Weber, executive sec
retary of the Citizens for Ken
nedy in Oregon, said this
-wasn't so. .
"The many thousands of
pieces of hate literature which
have been circulated in Ore
gon in a futile attempt to de
feat Sen. Kennedy are certain
ly not being produced by
Kennedy's supporters. I chal
lenge Mr. Yturri to cite any
evidence to the contrary,"
Weber said.
from others, highlighted the
Scene.
Mrs. Maurine Neuberger,
Democratic senatorial nomi
nee, and Elmo Smith, her Re-
Republican rival, again trad'
ed words at Oregon State Col
lege Wednesday on the de
fense issue. Smith charged
she had "changed her opinion
from week to week" on the
defense of West Berlin and
Quemoy and Matsu. Mrs.
Neuberger replied she would
back the president of the Uni
ted States as commander-in-chief
of the armed forces on
any decision made on' defense
of the two areas.
The two candidates cam
paigned in the Portland area
today. ';. .,-
Dr. Edwin. Durno, Repub
lican nominee for Congress in
the 4th district, and incum
bent Charles O. Porter, sched
uled a hall hour debate at 8
tonight over television sta

. Porter fired back at Dur-
no's charge that the Demo
cratic incumbent wanted to
"set - up a traveling circus"
with more joint appearances.
Porfer said- he asked only that
Durno, debate with 'him in
Roseburg the causes and
remedies of'the lumber slump
and in Eugene the merits of
the proposed Dunes national
seashore park.
Attorney General Robert Y
Thornton tangled with his
GOP rival, State Sen. Carl
Francis, over a joint TV ap
pearance. Francis issued a
statement saying Thorn ton
had canceled a debate and
that Thornton 'Us afraid to de
bate with me because he
knows I will thoroughly ex
pose his record which in the
field of law enforcement is
the worst in history."
Thornton said he rejected
the meeting because Francis
violated a previously arrang
ed format on a joint Tuesday
night radio appearance, in
Portland to launch a "per
sonal smear attack."
In another hassle. State
Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Dem
ocratic nominee for secretary
of state complained that sev
eral Marion county Voter's
Pamphlets were sent to Clack
amas county voters. Elections
Director Jack F. Thompson
charged Sweetland was trying
to ''blow up" the issue and
said two minor mechanical
errors had turned up in which
wrong pamphlets were sent
to some Clackamas and Jose
phine voters. He said surplus
shipments of correct books
had been sent to both coun
ties. - . . - - ' ! -
Owens Hits Norblad
M a r v Owens, Democratic
candidate opposing Rep. Wal
ter Norblad (R-Ore.) charged
in Corvallis that Norblad had
a "dove tail" attitude toward
veterans and enlisted men.
"He opposes a minimum wage
whether it be for the man in
the factory, the Army private
in the field, or the veteran
on a pension," Owens said.
In other1 'political news:
... Republican State Chair
man Peter Gunnar criticized
Sweetland and State Sen.
Ward Cook, Democratic nomi
nee for state treasurer, in a
talk at McMinnville. He said
Sweetland "has made a fetish
of being an outspoken liberal
while Ward Cook is a liberal
in conservative clothing." '
: . A Waterhouse poll
taken in Multnomah, Lane,

Even if the flood moved
