BERGDOLL'S PROPERTY
RETURNED BY MURPHY

Washington, Oct. 3O-(AP)-At-
torney General Murphy has or
dered the return to Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoll Of property appraised
at slightly more than $300,G00, the
justice department announced to-
day. The famous draft dOdger'' for
tune was seized after he escaped
from a military guard in 1920 and
fled to Germany.
The announcement fixed at $685.
$40 the appraised value of Berg
dolls property now held by the at
torney general as successor to the
alien property custodian. Of this
amount, 100000 has been set aside
for income taxes that may be
owed. In addition, Bergdoll has
consented to temporary retention by
the government of 20 percent of
the value of his property as re-
CURED of persons Of German ma
tionality or stateless persons under
the trading with the enemy act.
The department explained that
while these deduction would not
leave 100000 for Bergdoll the
taxes undoubtedly would be con-
siGeraply less than 100000.
Bergdoll was serving a five-year
term for draft evasion at the time
Of his escape. He voluntarily re-
turned to the United States few
months ago and was convicted by
i military court martial of deser-
ton and escape. Three years were
added to his previous sentence.
BergdOll's property was seized
under the trading with the enemy
act. The act precludes the return Of
such property to a person who is a
fugitive from justice, but when he
surrendered to military authorities
this obstacle to return of his prop
erty was removed

BIG TASK IN HAND FOR US. CENSUS TAKE

WASHINGTON - Officials of the census bureau regard the census about to be taken by the U. s. and starting Alaska in Oc- tober of this year, as the most important and far-reaching since the first census in 1790 Never be fore, so they believe, has the na- tion had greater need of scientific data for further guidance in cop ing with distrubed economic and social conditions which thus far the government has been unable to set alright.
 The problem of migration is one on which President Roose- welt recently submitted report to congress setting forth the con clusion that migrations from state to state were not, as Cal ifornians think, of concern only to their state, but of other states as well. Migration from state to state, it was found is new soc ial movement in this country traceable to unemployment.
 The population questionary, in addition to propounding the us- ual question about sex, age, clo- or, marital condition, homes and education will ask for informa- tion concerning occupation or in- dustry and present status, Whe- ther employed or unemployed. Each resident will be asked also where he lived ten years ago SC that some measure may be taken of migrations.
 In the opinion of the census authorities, however, the most significant of all data will be that indicating the trend of popula- tion, growth, which has been steadily declining, and the dis tribution according to age groups.
 A continuing decline in popula tion would have a marked bear ing in the future economic and social life of the nation. A small CT population would foreshadow contraction of future markets

at home and abroad, fewer pupils in the public schools, would in- dicate less need for plant eXpan- sion and a greater surplus of teacher.
 The census bureaus last pre- liminary estimate of the nations population, as of July l, 1888, was 130,215,000, an increase of 958,000 or or per cent over the 1887 estimate, although a station ary or declining population had not yet been reached, the census board reported that the rate of growth in the eight years after the 1930 census was less than half that of the previous decade
 Preparation of the 1940 emu meration has entailed vast amount of preparation which was begun more than a year ago. Be fore the signal is given for the enumerators to take the field, ev cry detail of the census will have been thought out, and small wonder, for the enumerators are expected to complete their task within thirty days.
 Some idea of the magnitude of the job may be conveyed by the typical census technique of citing statistics. The first step in the preparation is the drafting of l30,000 maps of enumeration dis tricts. Then the questionaires are made up several million of them, a seperate one for each branch of the enumeration.

American-Canadian Accord

As war clouds darken the East ern and Western Worlds, citizens of the United States and Canada have every reason to be apprecia tive of the growing accord be tween the People of the Republic and the Dominion.
 Both nations long rave dwelt in peace, with not a gun bristling over the borderline for 5000 miles from Atlantic to Pacific nor along the far-fung boundary between Yukon and Alaska Where else are frontier of two great nations without their troops or Notifications.
 The concern of Canada and American are not in respect ot the attitude of one toward the other, but for the common pro- lection of the shores of the two Recognition of this fact is becom. ing more and more apparent. Cc operative moments of the two ne tons are gradually unfolding, as witness the joint action of higt way commissions to build great highway to serve the two coun- tries from the Heart of Alaska through Canada to the heart ot the continent.
 Not only a great highway but a nearby or inter-linked airWays route to serve the two nation; now comes into the picture. A the same time, the United State: is forging forward with a pro- gram of defense of Alaska that cannot but help prove also pro- lection to Canada and continent al America.
 The strategic value of such pro jects for service in times o1 peace as in war is fully recog nized by the high direction o1 both countries. Adequate defense Of Alaska forestalls not only any enemy nation seizing control ot Alaska but likewise making the Northland a stepping stone into Canada or the States.
 Under the conditions it cannot but be gratifying to the people of Canada & the United States that the Pacific-Alaska highway pro- ject is unfolding with many new phases of cooperation that spell
