POPULATION STUDY

WASHINGTON, March 18.-(R-
J. c. Capt. census bureau direc-
tor, said today that recent esti-
mate of 227,76 for the civilian
population of Mobile county, Ala,
might be incorrect.
He coupled this statement with
promise that a new survey, be-
ing conducted in Mobile county
by the bureau for the Presidents
committee on congested produc-
ton areas, would be completed
within a month. This check, he
said, would be more accurate than
the first one, which was based
partially on the number of ration
books issued.
Capt acknowledged the possibil-
ity of error in the 227, 1853 esti-
mate when presented with statis-
tics from the Mobile county ration
board showing 1888, 1928 books had
been issued between October %,
1943. and February %, 1914.
He stressed, however, that the
bureaus estimate was based on
the number of ration books issued
up to December l, 1943, and thus
did not include those who regis
tered in December, January Or
February.
He emphasized, however, h t
many other factors were consid-
cred by the bureau in making an
estimate, because Experience has
shown us that there are nearly
always more ration books issued
in any community than there are
people living there"
Mobile county representatives
have complained to Capt about the
227. 1853 estimate, because an esti-
mate by the bureau in March,
1913. showed civilian population
of 232,956.
Regarding tbs apparent de-
crease in recent months, Capt and
his assistant, Philip M. Hauser,
commented that the national CT
william population during the same
perod dropped from 1913, 231, 600 to
1877, 3O7, 900 and said in a formal
statement:
"For the country as a whole
the decline in civilian population
during this period is, of course,
attributable to continued inductions
into the armed services which eX-
ceeded the growth of the popula-
ton through natural increase and
immigration.
For Mobile county it is pos
sible that some decline actually
occurred because the number OF
inductions exceeded population
growth in the area, but the differ
ence between the March, 1913, and
the November, 1943, estimates is
so small as to be within the range
of the error of the estimates.
ut cannot be said with certain
/ ty, therefore, whether the civilian
/ population of Mobile county dur
ing this period actually decreased
Il or increased.
'It can be said with consider.
able confidence, however, that the
civilian population of the area was
approximately 81 per cent greater
on November l, 1943, t h on
April 1, 1910, the date of the six
teenth decennial census
The 1910 census showed Mobile
| county had a population of 141,5

ALICE FROM DALLAS
GETS LOYAL SUPPORT

DALLAS, Texas. Sept. 5. (UP) -
Informed quarters have long felt
that the practice of naming air.
planes after feminine acquaintance
would lead to trouble, and trouble
is indeed brewing here in a dispute
over prior rights to the name Alice
From Dallas"
The original Alice From Dallas"
is a Liberator we'll known over Eur
ope, having flown almost so mis-
sions. The pilot, LIT. Mark Hughes,
named the plane for his wife.
Now the ship is about to be re-
tired and in New Guinea, 1t. Mark
Hodges is going to name his ship
Alice From Dallas
But the family and friends of the
original Alice" don't like it all
and are considering legal action to
keep the name exclusive.
They believe their plane" has
made such a great record that its
name should be protected.
