The District Commissioners re
Gently decided against moving the
pound after Poundmaster Frank
Marks advised them that locating
it in an outlying area such as Blue
Plains would cut down its use and
the yearly revenue.
r Mr.. Marks said also that it
would cost about $4,000 to build
a new pound.
j The pound is at South Capitol
and I streets. Proponents of the
move contend it occupies space in
the largest side of the Randall
Recreation Center and that it is
out of place in the center Of a
playground in a crowded area.

D. {. Population
To Be Smaller
Than Expected
Figure in Line With
Trend in Other Cities,
Totul Is Rechecked

Indications are that the popu-
lation figures for the District it
self. exclusive of nearby areas,
will be smaller than expected, ac-
cording to Census officials.
Area Supervisor Albert E. Craig
said yesterday that throughout
the United States generally. pre-
liminary population figures for
city areas have been smaller than
expected. 1t appears that the
District figure will be in line with
this trend.
Because of this, Washington Is
getting special treatment in the
Census of population and housing.
This consists of making sure Of
the accuracy of the count here.
Experts to Check Figures.
The result is another delay in
the announcement of the prelim-
mary figure for the Districts pop
ulation.
Census Bureau statisticians are
interested in the general trend,
showing smaller city population
figures than expected. They want
to make sure that it is not the
result of some flaw in the emu
meration procedure. Washing
ton being the closest city to Census
headquarters at Suitland. Md, is
being made the test city for an
intensified check by experts. =
Throughout the coming week, in
connection with the Bureaus
regular sampling process known
as the Current Population Survey,
the permanent area staff also will
be checking up on the work of the
temporary enumerators hired for
the 1850 population count. Certain
test areas will be selected for
checking and the results carefully
compared with the data turned in
by the enumerators. Mr.. Craig
said.
Meanwhile. preliminary popula-
tion figures for the suburban parts
of the Washington metropolitan
area lying in Virginia were COM
pleted yesterday with release of
the count for Fairfax County.
Fairfax Population Is 9S,193.
The tally. announced by District
Supervisor Archie Miller, put the
county's present population at 98,-
1913. almost az times what it was
at the last population census in
1940.' when 40,929 residents weret
counted.
Also released yesterday were |
the figures for the independent
city of Falls Church. Va, showing
1929 residents. 1t was the first
ofncial count for Falls Church,
since the city achieved indepen
dent status In 1913. In 1910, HsI
population. included in the figures
for Fairfax County. was 2,576.
Other towns in Fairfax County
were reported rs follows:
Vienna, 1920: Fairfax, 1,945,
and Herndon. 1,471. |
Previously released figures for
Arlington County show a similar
pattern of rapid growth over the
last decade. The 1850 figure is
1876, ,240, compared to 57,040 in
1910. The city of Alexandria
turned in 1850 count of 61,601,
compared to 33,523 in 1910.
No figures have yet been re-

] MAJOR lEAGUERS
 SWAT 0UT H0MERS;
 HURLERS HAVE DAY
(By the Associated 2ress)

The shift from grinding out yard age off tackle to banging baseballs off major league fences may turn out all right yet for Cincinnati out fielder Lloyd Merriman.
 Stanford's former backfield ace, scrapping for a regular centerfield spot, had a great day yesterday. Considered light hitter, Merriman smacked a three-run homer in Cincy's 16-5 victory over the Atlanta Crackers. Better yet, he added four more hits.
 In his first season up last year, the inexperienced Merriman hit only 23O in 103 games. He broke in with Columbia of the South Atlantic League in 1948, batting .298.
 Detroit's Hoot Evers also had a heavy day Evers keeps on hitting he long ones, this time two home 'uns in the Tigers 11-9 victory over Macon. One came with the bases sull.
 Two New York pitchers hurled complete games. Larry Jansen of he Giants allowed Cleveland only our hits in New York's 8-2 victory. 5ut watch out Joe Page: Allie Rev. lolds also lasted nine innings and he defeated the Cardinals, 8-4.
 All last season Reynolds pitched lnly four complete games while 7inning IT, most of them with the elp of relief pitcher Page.
 Joe DiMaggio's legs gave out gain. The great oufielder pulled q muscle in his calf while running first but he is expected back in he lineup in few days.
 Billy Southworth seems happy with his Boston Braves this spring. The veteran manager chirps, Its he best Boston squad I've ever brought north"
