JUNEAU. Nov. I5-Alaska's pop ulation as determined by the 194o census is 71,91I according to pre- liminary announcement this week by Supervisor J. ?. Anderson. The 1930 census showed Alaska to have 59,27S.
 Only two States in the Nation surpassed Alaska in rate of growth in the past decade, Anderson said. Alaska's 2I.1 percent gain was ex- eeeded only by Florida and New Mexico.
 As the census was taken as Of October l, 1889, tne total does not include any Of Che many people who have come north in the past year in connection ~Ith the nation al defense projects. The actual pop ulation of Alaska today is probably more than 75.0O0. Anderson said. When all figures have been check ed and the last struggling returns entered the census will probably show an official figure of about 72,o0o. according to the Supervisor.

WILLARD AGAINST
 SCRIPT MEASURES
WatertOwn Author Claims Nazi Invasion of U. s.
 Is Ridiculous

Strong opposition to the proposed conscription bill now pending in congress was voiced last night by Oswald Garrison Willard, in an ad- dress delivered to the recently or- ganized Committee to Keep Amer ica Out of Foreign Wars, and the Mothers of American Sons. MT. Vil- lard contrassed the hysteria which is so prevalent in this country today with the calm resignation which he observed in England in the first days of the war. It is our hysterical att titude, he maintained, which makes possible the suggestion of conscrip- tion.
 MT. Willard ridiculed the idea of Nazi invasion of America, even in the event that Hitler should be suc- cessful in subduing the British in short order. He pointed out the problems that face the Nazis in Eu- rope, including the great dearth of food, which it has been estimated may cause the death of 35 millions in Europe this winter. He stressed the fact that Hitler could not pos sibly send an army to this country after a victory over Britain, because of fear of Russia, and because of the need of keeping his many subject nations from revolt.
 The Watertown author went on to point out the difficulties of launch ing a successful attack on ths coun- try from a distance of more than 5000 miles, even discounting the sit- uation within Europe. Among the problems Hitler would face, he in- cluded paucity of shipping. lack oi good haroors in this country al which a foreign fleet could land troops, inability to maintain com munications over a 5000 mile line and the presence of Q relatively strong United States fleet which must be removed first.
 Conscription, he feels. is not only not necessary, but highly preiudj. cial to the maintenance of democ. racy in this country. He said that | we were going to get into the war we would be in long before univer. sal service could be worked out. and If we were not, there was plenty oi time for consideration of the prob. lem.

Dr. George E. Herr
 Back Here On Visit
North Caronan Reminisces About Experiences Local- ly 5 Years Ago; Coached Crosby Teams in 'O3-'O4

Dr. George E. Herr, of Southern Pines, North Carolina, a former res- ident of this city, has recently re- turned to our sunny cline as the guest of his brother, Dr. Edward A.. Herr of Cheshire. He is also the brother of Dr. F. w. Herr of this city.
 During his stay here, Dr. Herr dropped into the office of The Dem ocrat to reminisce about the good old days" of 35 years ago when he practiced dentistry in the Apothe- carries Hall building. That was in the days of Dr. William O. Beech CT. one of Waterbury's best-known dentists in the early years of this century, he recalled.
 In 1903 and 1904, Dr. Herr was the coach of the Crosby high school football team, and with the aid of some outstanding material, turned out two championship teams. He still recalls 17-4 victory over Nau- gatuck in the latter year. Among the players on his teams those two years were Joe Walsh, later cap- tain of the Villanova eleven, and an outfielder with the New York Americans; Ed and George McDon- aid. the late Joseph Guilfoile, Jack Ryan, later captain of the Dart mouth team, and Charlie Everett who played with West Point. Then there were the Mahaney brothers and Maltby, the center, who later performed on the Yale gridiron, and Bill Dalton, an all-scholastic tackle who came to an untimely end when he was killed the year after his graduation from high school, by a train in Waterville.
