Maryland Woman
Gets 154 Names in Doy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An Allegany County (Md.) woman
census enumerator, whose name was
not revealed, holds the state record
for getting the most nan. =; in a day,
Hugh M. Frampton, sixth Maryland
district supervisor, announced today.
MIR. Frampton, who along with
Mrs. Stella Bruce, assistant super
visor, met with eneumerators today,
said the woman in question secured
154 names and 80 housing schedules
IN one day. The average enumerator
obtains IS names in day.
Mr.. Frampton said only two per-
sons asked for income slips and one
refused to give the mortgage on a
home. Cooperation has been the
best, the supervisor said.
Mr.. Frampton said some interest
ing material has been gathered. He
said that housing conditions within
few steps of the district head
quarters in Hagerstown have been
found to be terrible" a person be-
ing found who lives in q room with
out a window.
However, the supervisor stressed,
the census returns are so secret that
such conditions cannot be relayed
to the Health Department.
Dwelling on the confidential ma
ture Of the census, Mr.. Frampton
said a person whose occupation is
a counterfeiter or thief can report
such to the enumerator without
fear Of arrest.
Secretary Hopkins said today that
the census was about one-fourth

Census forces will be mobilized
here tomorrow to concentrate on
taking special survey of all tour
ist camps, trailer camps, missions,
one-night lodging houses and hotels
in Washington in order to list every
one sleeping in all these places to-
morrow night.
Special instructions have been
given to squad leaders and to emu
merators by Garnett Brown, area
manager for the census in the Dis
trict of Columbia. A fine line has
been drawn between those persons
who are to be enumerated in the
places where they sleep tomorrow
night, and those who are to be
allowed to be listed elsewhere at
some other residence.
In view of the thousands of spring
visitors to Washington and tour
lists who are headed this way for
the cherry blossoms, the task OF
listing all the people in these places
where some persons are permanent
residents, and others are only tran
sients is complicated.
Instructions Explicit.
Area Manager Brown has issued
explicit instructions to the enumera-
tors as to the procedure to be fol-
lowed.
"Enumerate as residents of the
place where they sleep the night OF
April g." he said. "all persons liv-
ing in such places who have no usual
place of residence elsewhere a,
which they will be reported.
Before l pm. on April g." he
said, further, "call at every hotel

these supplemental questions are to
be asked Of every person found in
the hotels tomorrow night. They
are listed on the individual forms.
Among the supplemental questions
asked of all women in hotels will be !:
"Have you been married more than
once?
Age at the time Of the first mar
r1age." A woman also Is asked to re-
port how many children she has had.
There are also some supplemental
questions regarding military service

in answer to questions 2, 3, and 4,
that they have usual place of resi-
dence elsewhere. at which they will
be recorded; and second, all others"
Nonresident forms will be turned
over to supervisors.
"The second pile Of the individual
census FORMS" it is explained, will
be from persons who are permanent
guests of the hotel, or resident en-
ployes, or transient guests who will
not be recorded elsewhere. Trans

ming each person receives an indi-
vidual census form and a return

sus form and put aside all individual
forms that have been incompletely
or inaccurately filled out. On the

elements in the district behind the
incumbent in the campaign against
Fred c. Parks of Abingdon, the Re-
publican nominee, was the predom-
1nant theme of the session.

factions that have sometimes been
at odds agreed to present one omni-

Roosevelt. Senators Glass and Byrd,

cripple her power to aid Germany.
Developments Today
Today's developments included
significant but non-conclusive re-
ports that may be listed as follows:
Finnish sources in Stockholm
said that peace feelers from Russia
were based on direct contact be-
tween the two countries but that no
definite demands or counter-de-
mands had been formulated. They
sal Russia's attitue twoar an hon.
orable settlement woul decide
whether there would be peace or "a
probable further extension OF serious
hostilities in northern Europe"
Russian sources in Stockholm
said negotiations were in an early
STAGE" that no specific new de-
mands had been made and no ul-
timatum issued by Moscow.
3-Neutral sources said the Firms
were expected to refuse any "un-
compromising" demands by Russia
and that there might be question
whether the Finnish army could
agree to Russian peace terms. In
that event, they said, there would
be intensified hostilities and great
danger that the Scandinavian coun-
tries would be involved.
4-The quandary of the Allied
powers, which fear the end of the
war would strengthen Germany by
permitting Russia to send increased
aid to the Reich, was emphasized
in Paris, where it was stated that
the British and French were pre-
pared to send still greater aid to
Finland if the war continues.
5-Finnish sources at Helsinki in
dicated that reported Soviet terms
for ending the war were inaccept-
able, but per Svinhufvud, former
president of Finland, arrived by air.

ton on whether the Nazis might be
asked to intervene with Russia fol
moderation.
6.-Messages from Helsinki said
reports had been circulated that
Russian and Finnish representatives
might meet at Tallinn, Estonia, but
that lacked official confirmation.
THE possibility of mediation
by some neutral power appeared I'M
likely at present because Of the cur
rent negotiations in which Sweden
acted as a go-between.

ing for some time. Then, it was said,
Russia presented points for discus
sion through Sweden to the Helsinki
government.
The Russians, well informed
sources said, did not indicate that a
time limit was attached to their
points but signified their intention
of continuing their offensive on all
Finnish fronts until such time as
the Firms might agree to discuss
peace.
Presence Of a special Russian en-
voy here led to reports last week
that Madame Alexandra Kollantay
would be replaced as Russian min
lister to Sweden because she did not
agree with the policies of Premier
Foreign Commissar Viacheslav M.
Molotov. But, it was explained today
in well informed quarters, the re-
ports were untrue and the special
envoy, whose name was not disclosed
