The census taker began some
serious doorbell ringing this morn
ing for the first time since 1910.
Some $500 households In the Dis
trict will be visited during the next
three weeks, along with 10000
other families in "a cities and towns
of the Nation. in a major effort by
the Census Bureau to find out how
things have changed since the last
complete census seven years ago.
This sample census will try to
show how many persons have
moved to another part of the coun-
try as a result of the war, Just
exactly how bad the housing situa-
ton is, what veterans are doing
and other facts.
Census Taker Has Identification.
The first thing the census taker
will do when he knocks on your
door will be to show his official
Government Identification card.
Every time a new census comes
around it is necessary to empha-
size that all replies to the census
taker are completely. confidential.
Statistics may later be released on
how many persons own their home,
for instance, or how many veterans
finished high school, but never de-
tails as to names and addresses.
Along with its experienced "enum-
orators" as they call their inter-
viewers, like Mrs. Maxine Potter,
1909 Lewis avenue, Suitland, the
District census people are using
between rs and 100 George WASH
ington and Georgetown University
students part time. They will also
use for the first time Negro enum-
orators to interview colored families
in the District.
Few Refuse Answers.
Not many persons refuse to an
swer questions, Mrs. Potter says.
Even though the census is entirely
voluntary, less than Q per cent of
their calls bring refusals. Some
persons go to the other extreme and
get very curious about why their
house was chosen and the details
of figuring out the answers.
There are "a questions on the
sheet the enumerators carry, but
most persons will only have to an
sWer six or seven. The enumerators
already have few facts about every
family they will call on.
Mr.. Harvey Mitchell. District su-
pervisor of the census, also says
people should not get this census
confused with the spot census that
was taken last November which was
concerned only with the movements
of the labor force.
This census will be the first survey
of the housing situation on a broad
basis since 1910. Since so much of
the population has changed resi-
dence and occupation since 1910, the
survey expects to turn up some in
tereSting figures.

Cleanup Week Opens
lin Ninth Precinct;
To Spread Over D. {.

At least one Washington housewife
was up bright and early this morn
ing cooperating with Washington's
Cleanup, Paintup. Fixup Week" :"
which officially opened today.
She was Mrs. j. j. Thrower, whose
house at lot Second street NE is
getting its renovation with added
emphasis this week.
Mrs. Thrower thinks the regular
twice-a- week garbage collection and
one collection per week of the trash
is enough to meet her needs.
Down the street Mrs. Sarah M.
Merrill disagrees in part. Mrs. Mer-
rill wishes they would collect her
trash more often. "Tne cleanup
week may be a fine thing" she
added, but a small apartment like
we have accumulates too much trash
for mere once-a-week pickup"
Many of the housewives in the
ninth precinct area, where the
campaign began today, didn't know
that a special effort was being made
by the Board of Trades Clean Up
Washington Committee to get resi-
dents to cooperate in general
spring house cleaning of the city.
Nonetheless, Kirk Miller. commit
tee chairman, said If the drive is to
be a success it must have the CO.
operation of all.
"Of course" he added, 1--WE try to
keep Washington as clean as pos
sible all year. But we have this
special week to give added emphasis
to the effort
w. F. Roeder, staff engineer of the
Refuse Department, said the city
would not add any more than the
usual four trucks making collec-
tions in the various precincts, but
he felt this would be adequate to
take care Of any added trash put
out this week.
AS the trucks make their rounds
they viii be followed up by men
from the Health Department with q,
sharp eye toward rat extermina-
ton and elimination Of rat breeding
places. The city also plans to use
DOT in the alleys for insect con-
troll. and weed killing chemicals on
the Districts vacant lots.
Police at No Q remind citizens
that an offensive and unhealthy
accumulation of trash or garbage in
the alley might possibly bring arrest
Of the owner.
The cleanup drive will start In
No. 10 precinct tomorrow.

Tenant ADULTS Costs
For Rent Examiner;
Is Thanked af Hearing

Examiner James g. Tyson
thanked tenant today for doing
part of his work when he heard
testimony in q District Rent Con-
troll Administration on a petition
for increases.
Mr.. Tyson was considering the
case of the Dahlia Apartments,
7019 Georgia avenue NV. The
operator, E. M. Willis & Sons, was
seeking approval of new rental
scale approximately 20 per cent
higher in total rents.
Richard Willis, who said he
owned the property with his
brother, E. Hillman Willis, offered
statement in which total operat-
ing cost in 1916 was shown to have
been a per cent above the figure
for 1941.
A tenant, Kurt F. Blady, who said
he was a construction cost analyst,
submitted q more detailed set of
figures in which the cost changes
were averaged over the intervening
years. It indicated the increases
were substantially less than claimed
by Mr. Willis when computed in
this way.
IT want to thank you,' Mr. Tyson
said as he received Mr.. Blady's ex-
fiblt, because this is the same sort
of thing I have to do In these cases. !"
In ending the hearing, Mr.. Tyson
indicated rent increase might be
granted, but said it would not be the
20 per cent sought, ''for MIR. Willis
knows, I think, the figure he's asked
for is almost out OF the picture"
The two Willis brothers argued
they could not maintain the build
ing properly If the increase were not
allowed.
Fifty -eight of the 50 tenants of
the building joined In opposition to
the petition through Attorney John
L. Laskey. About 20 attended the
hearing.
