WHERE POPULATION NEARS MILLION—This map of Washington, four nearby counties and
the city of Alexandria, shows the area which has reached 962,742 in the 1940 census. Figures
indicate both 1930 and 1940 census returns.
Census Bureau Aids
Defense Program
With Industrial Data
Tabulation of Facts
Will Show Conditions
In 37 Key Industries
To give the National Defense
Commission a more complete pic
ture of the Nation's basic resources
the Census Bureau will speed the
tabulation of data for 37 key in
dustries, Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins announced yesterday.
As field agents send to Washing
ton the 1940 schedules on Ameri
can manufacturing, the Census Bu
reau will maintain day-to-day totals
for these industries, showing com
parisons between 1939 and 1937 as
to the number of plants of each
type, wage earners and value of |
products. These tabulations will be '
available to the National Defense j
Commission on a few hours’ notice, j
‘Among the industries for which
the tabulation of data will be speed
ed up are iron and steel, petroleum
products, rubber, motor vehicles, !
aircraft and shipbuilding plants, ;
food, textiles, machine tools, ma
chinery and surgical and medical
instruments and supplies. Returns
from other industires less directly
related to defense will be analyzed
as soon as possible after the pre- ,
ferred group.
Works at Full Speed.
The Census Bureau is working at ;
full speed on the returns of the I
1940 census of population. The first
facts to be tabulated include the
total number of persons, their sex, j
their age groupings, the number who
are employed workers and where
these are located. After these facts
have been gathered from the re
turns. census tabulators will analyze
the Nation's labor force.
Workers fall into 12 broad classifi
cations, as follows: Professional,
semi-professional, farmers and farm j
managers, proprietors, managers and
officials; clerical, sales and kindred
workers; craftsmen, foremen, and i
skilled workers; operatives, such as
semi-skilled workers and machine
tenders; domestic servants, other
service workers, including policemen
and firemen; farm laborers and
foremen, unpaid family farm work
ers and laborers, except farm labor
ers. Figures for these groups will
be presented for each county in the
United States.
The decennial census of mines and
quarries will also furnish valuable
information for the Defense Com
mission. Acording to the Census
Bureau 90 per cent of the raw ma
terials covered by this canvass are
i used either directly or indirectly
by the Nation's basic industries.
Farm Figures Coming.
Tabulation of the returns from
the 1940 farm census are also being
speeded up. This census will reveal
the facts on the production of food
stuffs, farm labor and the location
of farm population.
Many key-industries are now de
manding proof of age and place of
birth from their workers. Until re
cently, only about 15 per cent of
requests for proof of age received by
the Census Bureau came from job
seekers. The greater part of such
requests had to do with old-age pen
sions. Now, more than 50 per cent
of current requests are from those
seeking work.
Since birth registration was not
general in the United States prior
to 1915, thousands of Americans are
unable to secure official proof of age
except throbgh census records. Last
week the Census Bureau received
2,200 requests for proof of age.
Barrymore Blackboard
Saves Studio $25,000
By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, July 6 —That lit
tle blackboard John Barrymore uses
as a prompter for forgotten lines has
saved his studio $25,000.
Twentieth Century-Fox said It
would complete the Barrymore pic
ture, “The Great Profile,” Monday
night, five days ahead of schedule
at a $25,000 saving. Said a press
agent:
"John wasn't late once, there were
no displays of temperament and—
thanks to the blackboard—there
were no miscues.”

be shown as somewhat larger when
the counting is finished.
Many other results will be forth
coming from the 1940 census, taken
as of April 1, when the population
division completes its tabulation, it
was explained. These reports will
include breakdowns of the popula
tion figures to show ages, color, sex,
place of birth, occupation, income
and other items. It is unlikely,
however, that any of these schedules
will be ready before sometime in
the fall.
Area Manager Brown reported for
the District of Columbia; Thomas
E. Jones, for Prince Georges County;
Hugh M. Frampton, for Montgomery
County, and reports were filed in
his absence for William A. C. Pettit
for the other jurisdictions. *
“Metropolitan Area" Not Computed.
The section for which census fig
ures were made public last night
should not be confused with the so
called “metropolitan area" around
Washington, it was emphasized by
census officials. The “metropolital
area’’ is much smaller than the four
counties surrounding Washington.
Whether census figures will be com
puted for it later depends on avail
able appropriations, it was ex
plained.
Several sections of Washington
showed increases according to Area
Manager Brown. These included
parts of the Southeast, such as
Randall Highlands. Sixteenth street
extended, the Petworth section east
of Georgia avenue to the Maryland
line, the American University area,
and Connecticut avenue near Mary
land. including Chevy Chase, D. C.
Decreases, however, he said had
been shown in some sections where
the Government had razed residen
tial structures to make way for new
Federal office buildings. These in
cluded the Southwest section of the
city, and the so-called Northwest
rectangle in the area of the Naval
Hospital and gas plant.
Texas Delays Willkie
Non-Partisan Club
Bj the Associated Press.
DALLAS, July 6.—Eighty Texas
Democrats and Republicans decided
at a meeting today to delay form
ing a non-partisan Willkie-for-Pres
ident Club until after the Demo
cratic National Convention.
Marshall Kennady, Fort Worth
Republican chairman, suggested the
fight in Texas for the Republican
presidential nominee could be waged
best after the Democrats had se
lected a candidate.
The group originally had planned
to organize the club today.
Merrick Boys4 Camp

Science has not yet found a prepara

fever and asthma sufferers. This is
understandable when one realises that
both of these conditions can be caused
by many thinfs. sach as various pollens
from flowers and weeds, perfume, ani
mal hairs, improper diet. etc. However,
science has discovered that many cases
of hay fever and asthma act amaxlnf
relief from the administration of a
certain vital food element. Allerfen,
a rich source of this important ele
ment. fives relief to thousands of suf
ferers year in and year out. In fact,
