A spokesman for the U.S. Civil Service Commission, which administer s the operat ion, said only 84 voters were signed up in Screven County, one in Ter'!ell and none in Lee. By contrast, three Shr eveport, La., registration offices also under their first day of federal supervision Monday showed listings of 4 , 81 ancf 193 voters respectively, the CSC said. Spokesmen here said they supposed the Georgia totals were low because many eligible voters were not yet aware of e opportunities provided through longer registration hour s.

The federal supervisors are stationed in Dawson, Leesburg and Sylvania. No indication has been given as to how long they will remain there.
