Metropolitan Area
Given New Definition
By Budget Bureau

A new definition of the term
metropolitan Area" which probably
will increase the population of Met
ropolitan Washington in the next
census, was announced yesterday by
the Budget Bureau.
The new definition, which replaces
four separate definitions formerly
used by Federal agencies in compil-
ing statistical data on cities through
out the United States, sets up stand
ard metropolitan areas for 81 Of
the countrv's largest cities.
Each standard metropolitan area
consists of one or more entire coun-
ties, except in New England. where
the township basis of division is
preserved.
Census Reports Affected.
AS far as census reports are con-
cerned. the new definition will re-
place In the 1850 Census what used
to be called metropolitan districts"
and followed smaller political SUBJ
divisions
For Washington, the Metropoli-
tan ARa is made to include, in ad-
cition to the District, the cities of
Alexandria and Falls Church, Ar
lington and Fairfax Counties. in
Virginia. and Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties in Mary
land.
The old metropolitan district
followed minor civil boundaries ac-
cording to population density. 1t
included all areas contiguous to the
City where the population exceeded
$50 persons per square mile.
Population Estimated.
The Census Bureau estimated
there were about 1905 900 persons
in the Metropolitan District of
washington in April, 1947. The area
at that time included only parts of
Fairfax, Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties.
1t was pointed out that the 1850
Census, which will include the en-
tire counties in the Metropolitan
Area, will not increase the figure
appreciably because the new areas
will be less densely populated.
An official of the Budget Bureau
emphasized that the new definition
was developed only for the Federal
statistical agencies. 1t is not being
recommended for any of the au-
ministrative agencies of either the
Federal or State governments.
When work on the development
of standard metropolitan areas was
started in 1916 there were four prin-
cipal sets of metropolitan areas in
use by Federal statistical agencies.

That doesn't mean, though.
that you can't borrow cash on
these three forms Of permanent
insurance. You can borrow UP to
"a per cent Of the cash value"
Just to give you an example OF
what this means in terms OF dol
lars and cents, take the case Of
Charles W., a veteran who took
out $4,000 worth Of term insur-
ance when he joined the Navy and
then converted it to straight life
two years ago.
Charlie was 80 when he con-
verted and since he converted as
of his attained" age (not as Of
his age when he first took out his
term insurance.. his monthly pre-
MUM is $3.50 for the full SIC, 900.
He'll pay that for the rest Of his
life. unless he leaves his dividends
with the VA, In which case his
policy may become paid up be-
fore he dies. (The first dividend Is
now being prepared and will be
paid within the next year,
The cash value of Charles in
surance today is $213.10. At the
end Of the third policy year 1t will
be $324.50, at the end Of the 10th

$2,76o.20.
Charlie can borrow up to "a per
