BYRD Says Johnson
|WiII Reconsider Trip
To South Pole Area
BY the Associated Press

Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
says that Defense Secretary John
son has decided to reconsider an
other expedition to the Antarctic
to study polar warfare, the Rich
mond News-Leader reported yes
terday.
The possibility of new trip to
the South Polar region was dis
closed in an exclusive interview
with a NeWs-Leader reporter.
If the plan wins final approval.
Admiral Byrd says he will lead an
expedition of some 1000 men back
to Little America next October on
a trip requiring five to six months.
Last summer, the Navy post
poned scheduled Antarctic trip.
Admiral Byrd pointed out that
the chief difference between the
trip now proposed and the one
which was called off is that the
new expedition would be a Joint
undertaking of the Army, Navy
and Air Force.
Admiral Byrd said he currently
is working on a comprehensive
report on the proposed trip, which
will be presented to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. who will "assess
the value" of the plan.
The 62-year-old explorer cited
these major objectives of the pro-
posed expedition:
l. To train men for possible
polar warfare.
2. To attempt to survey the
area and learn what minerals are
there.

views, to give crew leaders some
experience at enumerating.
There's even provision for the
Fuller Brush man.
In order to make sure that the
national count is complete, census
offices all oyer the country are
planning what is known as Transit
Night Operation, when all travel
ers will be interviewed at one
swoop.
On April II, workers will de-
scend on every major hotel in the
country and get the necessary in
formation on each guest registered
there. Then the citizens record
will be forwarded to his home.
from two to three weeks.
Enumerators in the District area
are made up largely of housewives
who are taking the opportunity of
picking up an extra bit of spend
ing money. Applicants for the
jobs had to be able to pass an eX-
animation, and an interview, but,
despite Congressional mutterings
about patronage in connection
with the census, they did not have
to be Democrats.
The enumerators are paid on a
basis of seven cents for each per-
son on whom they get complete
information, which in the normal
run of business is figured at about
ST an hour. If the job takes the
time it should, the enumerators
will be on the Government payroll
from two to three weeks.

Stress Is on TACT for Census Takers
By Crosby S. Moves


There will be no foot-in the
door sales technique so far as
the 1850 census is concerned.
The LOO or more Census Bu-
reau enumerators who will gather
the official data on population and
housing in the District area after
April l are instructed firmly on
that point.
The emphasis is on tact, and on
making sure that the enumerator
makes it perfectely clear from
the outset that he's working for
the Government.
Each worker is given a card,
which he is told to present to the
citizen for close inspection. Among
other things, the card states that
the holder is authorized to per-
form his duties according to the
law, and that Ibis authority will
be respected accordingly" by the
citizen.
This is part of the course in
census-taking that is being given
to 80 District "crew-leaders" at
Census Bureau field offices. At the
end of their weeks instruction,
