lation growth. Basing their deduc-
tons on birth. death and immigra-
ton rates, they predict that a
maximum population of about las.
100000 will be reached between 1868
end 1915. After that, unless present
trends change. there will be a eradu-
al decline because the birth rate IS
declining at a faster rate than the
death rate is dropping
The last census in 1880 showed n
population of l22.775,046 compared
with lG5,7l0620 in 1920 A ma jor
part Of the increase in the years
between 1920-3O was a result of
increasing immigration. That trend
las been reversed since 1880
The last estimate of population

that there were 129818,OO0 persons

New York Court Closes
Door to Educ dtor Who
Fights immortality Case

NEW YORK, April 2. CUP) -
Supreme Court Justice John f. Nc
Geehan today refused to reopen
the case of Bertrand Russell. British
mathematician whose appointment
to a chair of philosophy at City
College he had reScinded on the
grounds of Russell'S allegedly i'm
moral writings.
The refusal was embodied in JUS
tice McGeehan'S denial of show
cause order in which Russell's coun-
sci sought to have the case re-
opened to give the philosopher an
opportunity to state his own case.
Justice Mcclellan, who invalidat-
ed the appointment in a Scathing
attack on Russell last Saturday,
made no comment in denying the
order, but it was understood from
his associates that he took the posi-
ton the case had been closed as
far as his jurisdiction was con-
cerned.
The action left two courses of
appeal open to supporters of the
eminent scholar who has in his writ
lngS, his foes charged. offended
traditional concepts of morality. The
board of higher education, which
twice has approved the appointment,
may appeal the invalidation to the
appellate division of the supreme
court. If it does not, Russell HIM
self may appeal to the same court
from today's decision.
1t was the first formal action
taken in his own behalf by the
British mathematician and teacher
who presently holds chair of phil
osophy at the University of Califor-
MIA in Los Angeles.
