"WE'RE CONSTANTLY changing equipment and procedures (and) "State government needs to set goals," she said.

"I feel that our county government sets goals and reaches them instead of being in day-to-day crisis." ONE OF DEVORE 'S goals is to reorganize and update the computer technology available to the auditor's office. "The (Indiana) General Assembly could benefit greatly in getting an updated report of revenues and expenditures," she said.

The surveys backed up Republican hopes for a significant gain in this year's 36 gubernatorial contests, with a net gain of six to 'nine governorships apparently possible.

Among the major states that could change political hands in their top executive offices, the polls suggested, are Texas and Florida, possibly going Republican, and Pennsylvania, possibly going Democratic. AS IN A similar poll of congressional districts earlier, the surveys showed President Reagan's popularity and policies are a big factor in the Senate battles and certainly a majoj bolster to Republican hopes of retaining control of one chamber in Congress. Still, the polls said, the single strongest link to the Senate vote appears to be each constituent's feeling about the U.S. economic future and there the trend favors the Democrats.

Leaders Unitad Prasi International WASHINGTON Control of the Senate is clearly within Democratic party grasp three weeks before Election Day, and Republicans appear poised to gain several governorships, says a Washington Post-' ABC News poll published Thursday. The series of based on 13,838 interviews in all 34 states holding Senate elections Nov. 4, showed Democrats leading in five states that have Republican incumbents Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada and North Dakota. MISSOURI IS THE only state where a Republican was shown leading in the race for a seat now held by a retiring Democrat.

Of the four states rated as "toss- ups," North Carolina, South Dakota and Washington have GOP incumbents, and Colorado has a retiring Democrat. If all the candidates hold the leads they had during the polling, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 10, and the four "tossup" races split evenly between the parties, Democrats would make a net gain of five seats and claim a 52-to-48 Senate majority when the 100th Congress convenes in January. BARRY SUSSMAN, director of polling operations for the Post, cautioned that the Senate campaigns are "far from over" and there is pieniy oi give many oi uie races.
