The committee denied funds fol

One complaint against budget cut
ting came, however, from G. o. p

ment. Walter S. Hallanan, Repub-
ncan national committeeman for
West Virginia, asked Senate SUBJ
committee to restore $245, 900 which
the House denied the Interior De-

Mr.. Hallanan said frivolous and

By shs A..seio,sd Pres.

Z
CINCINNATI, May s.-The popu-
1ation Of the United States was esti-
mated at $4,000 900 yesterday by
]. G. Capt, director Of the Census
Bureau.
The figure was reached, he said,
on census samplings, and shows a
rapid increase over the 131 600 600
population In 1910.
The population Is growing older,
too, because people generally are
living longer" he told the second
annual meeting OF the Association
Of State Planning and Development
Agencies.
Mr.. Capt spoke at one OF the
round-tabk discussions held by the
association.
He said that currently more than
100000 persons were unemployed,
while during the war less than
1,000,0 900 were unemployed.
Replying to q question, Mr.. Capt
said one Of, the most important
effects Of . proposed congressional
reduction in the appropriation for
the Census Bureau would be the
loss Of trained and experienced
statisticians.
In an interview Mr.. Capt said
smarketers and manufacturers must
know how many people there are,
where they live and what they have
to spend. Communities must know
the rate Of population growth for
orderly expansion. Educational facil-
tiles have to be adjusted to the birth
rate and proper housing is de-
pendent on knowing how many
people there will be to be housed. |"

flying deferment.
May was not pleased with my

Col. Hauck added he did not re-

GRANGE YEAR, NEARING CLOSE
SHOWS CHEERING RESULTS
This Organization Is Forging Ahead
In All Directions
RPB-MA-s4a

WITH THE FISCAL YEAR of the
National Grange about closing,
there is every indication that the
final figures of the past twelve
months will indicate the best show
ing in membership gain, in financial
strength and in widespread influ-
ence, that this rural fraternity has
ever known. A net membership gain
for the year of from 10000 to 50,-
600 is across the nation. Ohio heads
the list for greatest membership
gain and now has a total enroll
ment upwards of 10000.
North Carolina bids fair to cap
ture first place for the number oil
new subordinate units organized
during the year; a significant fact
because it's leader, Mrs. Margaret II
Caldwell. is the only lady State
Master in the United States. Mrs
Caldwell was formerly Nationa
Juvenile Superintendent, and hel
administration of North Caroline
Grange affairs for the past TIVE
years has been blessed with out

DEATH one veteran fisherman said
after he measured the depth of the
oil along the shore and found 1t to
be six inches.
Fishermen estimate that several
million dollars has been lost in the
past two years because of bilge oil
pumped into harhor waters by
ships at anchor. They have asked
Representative Bland (D-Va.) to in
troduce a bill at the next session nl
Congress to stiffen penalties foI
pumping oil in fishing waters.
