Statistical Unit 10 GET
DATA for 195OCensus
OF the Americas

The Census Committee of the
er-American Statistical Institute
today was to enter its second day
of. planning for the first interna-
tional census of the Americas In
1850.
But one of the participants in the
22-nation parley in the Wardman
Park Hotel has been hard at work
OH the project for almost at year
He is DR.. Jorge Zarur Of Brazil
who has just completed a gruelling
nine month tour of all the Amer
icas preparing the way for the great
nose counting of 1850.
Plump and joyial, DR.. Zarur. 81
is sub-director of the Brazilian
governments surveying and map
ping organization. He was loaned to
the committee for one year to help
organize the proposed census on a
geographical basis.
Accompanied by ,fhis attractive
wife, the Brazilian geographer Wis
tied all of the American nations
except Canada, checking geographic
cal conditions and resources, con-
sulting with officials who will direct
the census in each nation and gen.
orally getting information on phys
ical environment to tie in with the
date OF each. He averaged about
three weeks in each country.
Today DR.. Zarur was to present
his findings in lengthy report to
the committee. Then he will head
back for Brazil.
I'd like about months vaca-
ton right now" he said. but they've
got something lined up for me back
home
DR.. Zarur's report is necessarily a
technical one. But such highly
technical information is vitality
needed so that the committee can
set up uniform standards and pro-
cedures for taking the census.
Dr. Zarur is no stranger to this
country. Born and educated in
Brazil he spent three years at the
University of Wisconsin on fel-
iowship and year at the University
of Chicago before returning home
to help plan for Brazilian project

U. 5. Delegate in Austria
TO LIST Treaty Differences
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, Sept. 3.-The four-pow-
er commission on the Austrian peace
treaty authorized the American
member today to draw up a clari-
flying formula of the opposing points
of view on disputed articles.
The step was taken after Davic
Ginsberg, acting American delegate
said there had been no attempt to
clarity the workings of the various
proposals since the Council of Dep
uty Foreign Ministers met in Lon
don early this year.
The chief point of contention is
the definition of German assets to
be awarded the Soviet Union in the
Russian occupation zone. Mr.. Gins
berg declared yesterday the Rus
slams had not presented facts TO
substantiate their claims to disputed
assets.
Soviet Delegate L. K. Novikov said
that since Russia made no claims on
assets in the three western zones of
Austria, she saw no reason to pre-
sent facts on property she believes
to be German assets in her own
zone. Mr.. Ginsberg replied that this
stand was inconsistent with the
PotSdam declaration.
