Two Newspapers Publicize
Secret Report On U.S. Poll
NEW YORK (AP_ The New York Times and the Wash-
ington Post have disclosed what they said was a confiden-
tial government survey made last June reporting a U. S.
loss of prestige with the French and British public.
The Times said the survey showed the Soviet Union also
lost prestige in the eyes of the British and French after the
collapse of the summit conference.
The text of the survey printed by the Times said:
"Favorable opinion for the United States as a country,
and for President Eisenhower, has declined in the wake of
the summit collapse, but, notwithstanding, continues to
predominate by large margins in both Great Britain and
France, and remains far ahead of the Soviet Union and Pre-
mier Khrushchev, both of whom have also suffered losses
in esteem. *---------------------------
to normalcy with Harding, keep
cool with Coolidge, repeal Social
Security from Landon — and says
you never had it so good with
Richard M. Nixon."
Kennedy's return to New York
continued his pattern of cam-
paigning in the big state, with the
top prize of 45 electoral votes, on
the average of once a week. After
his day here, he heads for Penn-
sylvania.
The Post said Wednesday
night it obtained a copy of
the summary, compiled by
the U. S. Information Agency’s
office of Research and Analysis.
The newspaper said the summary
was prepared for the National Se-
curity Council, of which Vice Pres-
ident Richard M. Nixon, the Re-
publican presidential nominee, is
vice chairman.
The Times, today publishing the
full text of the summary as well
as a story, pointed out that the
survey is not the opinion analysis
referred to last week by Sen. J. W.

the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. Fulbright had been seek-

NEW YORK (AP>—Sen. John
F. Kennedy said today the coun-
try apparently is entering “our
third recession in six years. And
I say we can't afford another re-
cession.”
The Democratic candidate, cam-
paigning for the second straight
day in areas where the labor vote
is strong, has been accusing Vice
President Richard M. Nixon of
"getting increasingly disconnected
from reality.”
As Kennedy took his campaign
back to New York he challenged
his opponent to talk about bread-
and-butter issues. He said the ob-
jections Republicans always raise
against Democratic programs is:
"America can’t afford it.”
Kennedy, in a talk prepared for
a garment manufacturing center
rally, said the things America
can not afford are poverty, slums

WASHINGTON (AP)-Charging
a political smear. Vice President
Richard M. Nixon’s campaign
manager has challenged basic
points of an article linking Nixon’s
name with a possible conflict of
interest.
The article, by columnist Drew
Pearson, said “the family of Rich-
ard M. Nixon” four years ago re-
ceived a $205,000 loan from the
Hughes Tool Co., owned by in-
dustrialist Howard Hughes. After
that, Pearson said, Hughes got
better treatment from some gov-
ernment agencies.
PURE LIBEL
"Whether the improvement was
connected with the loan is not
known," Pearson’s article stated.
Robert N. Finch, Nixon’s per-
sonal campaign manager, said
"any suggestion that we in any
way had anything to do with the
Hughes Tool Co. receiving any so-
called government benefits is pure
libel.”
He called Pearson’s report "an
obvious political smear in the last
two weeks of the campaign.”
Nixon, campaigning in Ohio,
had no comment. Hughes could
not be reached for comment.
Finch and Pearson agreed the
loan was made for use by Nixon,
Inc., a restaurant chain then
headed by Nixon’s brother, F.
Donald Nixon, but since taken
over by creditors. The loan was
made to Hannah M. Nixon, the
vice president's mother, who put

she owned.______________________

STEVENSON STATEMENT
In a statement, Nixon said that
Adlai E. Stevenson, one of Ken-
nedy’s foreign policy advisers,
had denounced the Eisenhower
administration's imposition of re-
strictions on trade with Cuba be-
cause he contended this would
drive Castro further toward the
Communist camp.
Nixon contrasted this with a
proposal of Kennedy for U. S.
government support of anti-Castro
elements in and out of Cuba.
“The senator would have the
United States take rash action
that would play into the hands of
the Communists and cause us to
lose all of our friends in Latin
America,” Nixon said.
"His adviser, on the other hand,
fails to understand the need for
any positive action to quarantine
the Castro virus. Sen. Kennedy
and his principal foreign policy
advisers are as diametrically op-
posed in their views on foreign
policy as Sen. Kennedy and his
personally selected running mate
are on civil rights.
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
"They not only are wrong but
they are completely wrong in op-
posite directions.”
On the nuclear issue Nixon said
that if the Soviets should agree
to foolproof inspection under
which military tests would be
banned he would be willing to
meet in a summit conference to
make the agreement final.
He said he meant a summit con-
ference with Soviet Premier
Khrushchev and Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan of Great Brit-
ain.
Should the Soviets agree to fool-
proof inspection under which mil-
itary tests would be banned, Nix-
on, said, he would be willing to
meet in a summit conference with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev and
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
of Great Britain to make the
agreement final.
Should no agreement be ob-
tained by Feb. 1, and he is then
president, Nixon continued. he

Holt said the City of Denton
now has 40 bound copies and 160

ing.

GOP Veep Candidate
Says United Nations
Alignment Is Proof
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
Henry Cabot Lodge says he
knows more about America’s
prestige abroad than the
United States Information
Agency — and our prestige
hasn’t fallen.
The Republican vice presiden-
tial candidate dealt with a news
conference request that he com-
ment on a USIA report which Sen.
John F. Kennedy, the Democratic
presidential candidate, has been
saying shows prestige has slipped
abroad.
The White House has refused to
release the report.
"I know more about American
prestige than the USIA because I
spent eight years in the place
where it was put to the test," said
Lodge, who was ambasador to
the United Nations for that pe-
riod.
"John F. Kennedy has confused
prestige with popularity. . .riots
abroad show the Communists
don’t like us. But this has nothing
to do with prestige. We assume
we are not generally loved in the
world. No big power is. But pres-
tige means mostly respect. And
a nation gains respect if its word
is good and its ideals noble.”
Police estimated that upward of
50,000 people lined the route
Lodge and his wife followed from
the airport Wednesday to the cen-

Military-Civilian
Group Of Six Men
Rules After Coup
SAN SALVADOR, El Sal-
vador (AP) — The new rul-
ing junta erased several de-
crees of deposed President
Jose Maria Lemus and dis-
solved Congress today. The
junta’s avowed aim is to re-
store justice in this tiny Cen-
tral America nation.
A state of siege imposed after
student rioting last month against
Lemus’ strong arm administration
was lifted by the six-man military
-civilian group which ousted him
Wednesday in a bloodless coup.
Civil liberties had been sharply
restricted.
The junta revoked two other de-
crees of Lemus, forbidding public
meetings and curtailing the auth-
ority of the national university ■
faculty.
In addition to dissolving Con-
gress, in which Lemus had the
support of a majority, the junta
dismissed justices of the Supreme
Court, members of the General
Accounting Office the National
Election Board and the Social
Welfare Service chief.
Lemus has vanished. There
were reports the 49-year-old sol-
dier-politician was seeking refuge
in Guatemala or the United
States.
(Clerks at the Biltmore Hotel in
Guatemala City said a reserva-
tion had been booked for Lemus
and “we are still waiting for
him.” Guatemalan officials said
they had no official knowledge of
the fleeing president.)
The little coffee-growing coun-
try had been seething for months
with demands for social and eco-
nomic change. The great majority
of the 2% million people are im-
poverished peasants dominated by
a small number of wealthy, plan-
tation-owning families. The army
traditionally controls politics.
DEMONSTRATIONS
The coup came alter Iwo months
of student-led demonstrations.
Lemus said the demonstrations
were the work of Communists and
retaliated with a police crackdown
in which about 300 persons were
claimed a state of siege—a modi-
fied form of martial law—on Sept.
5. The Salvador University faculty
accused the police of brutality and
for a time went on strike.

In answer to the question,
"Which candidate would you like
to see win?”, the sample divided
this way:
Nixon: 54.39 per cent or 124 pre-
ferences.
Kennedy: 44 74 per cent or 102
preferences.
Undecided: 0.87 per cent or 2
opinions.
Because of the manner in which
the poll was conducted by 43 stu-
dent reporters 20 of the 248 stu-
dents were unavailable for inter-
views. In the representative poll-
ing, every 30th registration card
of students was selected, and most
of the interviews were on a face-
to-face basis.
Nixon seemed far and away the
mor popular candidate among
coeds interviewed. He led with
a 58 82 percentage of the coeds
against Kennedy's 40.20 per cent.
Only 98 per cent of the women
said they were undecided.
Among men students, it was
about even. Nixon had 50.73 per
cent of the men’s backing. Kenne-
dy had 48 58 and the undecideds
represented .71 per cent
The poll was directed by a sen-
ior journalism major, David
Yates, with the advice of .Dr.
James L Rogers of the journal-
ism department and Dr. Hiram
Friedsam and Dr. Harry Dick of
the sociology faculty.
In a separate preferential bal-
loting conducted in the Union
Building Wednesday by Young
Democrats and Young Republi-
cans. 880 students cast "ballots.”
Nixon got 443 "votes" to Kenne-
dy's 437,
termed a later "barometer sur
vey" by the USIA.
Sen. John F. Kennedy, Demo-
cratic presidential nominee, has
charged that America's prestige
is declining.
Kennedy, arriving in New York
by plane today, declined to com-
ment on publication of the survey.
He said he had not seen the news-
paper stories.
Nixon has contended our pres-
tige is at an all - time high. He
said last Friday in his televison
debate with Kennedy that he has
no objection to release of USIA
poll findings.
The report disclosed by both
newspapers still is classified as
secret by the Eisenhower admin-
istration.
In a speech last Thursday night
in San Francisco, President El-
senhower said reports of U. S.
loss of prestige among European
powers is debasement of the
truth. •
NO COMMENT
There was no immediate While
House comment on publication of
the report.
The survey percentage figures
published by both the Times and
the Post are the same.
The Times said the survey,
based on an opinion sample of
1,150 British residents and 1,000
French residents made late in
May, gave these major conclu-
sions.
1. "Though the U. S. S. R is
blamed most for collapse of the
(mid-May) summit conference, a
majority blamed both sides at
least in part.
COUNTRY, IKE
2. "Favorable opinion for the
United States as a country and
for President Eisenhower has de-
