 BUREAU OF THE CENSU $

Washington, October 2a.-SiXty-five former soldiers and sailors have been apointed supervisors for the fourteenth Deeennial Census, according to an an nouncement issued today by the Blu reau of the Census.
 "The Census Bureau was particu- larly glad whenever it found former service man for the job of supervisor" announced Director of the Census Sam L. Rogers. Most of the applicants who qualified, however, were men of more mature age and of broader ex- perience than the majority of soldiers and sailors"
 Three women appear on the list of supervisors, one having been appointed to serve in the State of New York, one in Texas and one in Nevada This is the first time in the history of the Cen sus Bureau that women have been ap- pointed to fill these positions. of the 372 supervisors chosen ap- proximately leo are lawyers. Ex-ser- vice men come next in numbers and ed itors rank third with more than 40 appointments. Farmers are represent ed with about 25. while educators, num- boring about 20. run the farmers close race.
 Several physicians have undertaken the task of collecting Uncle Sans sta tistics. and likewise a great many bus mess men.
 Each supervisor appointed had to n- dergo rigid tests as to his fitness for the position, especial stress having been laid on character an dexperience.
 No man was appointed supervisor for the Fourteenth Census" said Mir, Rogers, Until every possible guaran tee was given as tO his ability and hon esty Character was at all times the leading and predomnating cOnsidera ton with the Census Bureau in every appointment made"
