Face Economy Shift

Eighteen military hospitals will
be closed or changed in states dur
ing the next five months in another
Defense Department economy
move.
Defense Secretary johnson, in
ordering the move last night, esti-
mated it would save $25 5,000,0 900 a

the medical care of patients.
He said that some of the hospi-
tails could be used by Veterans
Administration patients and that
he had authorized department
officials to discuss the situation
with the VA and the Budget
Bureau.
A VA spokesman said however
that there had been no discussion
with defense officials about the
possibility of the agency taking
over the installations or transfer
ring the approximately 5000 VA
patients out of them.
Mr. johnson said the eutbacE
was the first in a study of the
Departments medical problem
Other similar moves are antici-
pated, he said, "as we analyze
many of the smaller medical
installations throughout the three
military departments.
The order included both general
hospitals and the smaller station
units. None is in this area.

Locally al Meeting Of

Better Business Bureaus should
try to check radio commercials on
a local basis rather than o ma

tin Miller. president Of the Ma

Mr.. Miller. speaking at the seth
Annual Conference of the Asso-

reaus at the Shoreham Hotel,
warned that Federal Communica-
tion Commission regulations might
construe any nationwide volun-
tary regulation Of radio CONNER
cials as violating antitrust laws.
He admitted that radio adver-
tising probably was not up to
standards which have been set by
the industry. He read the volun-
tary broadcasting principles, how
ever. TO show that radio wanted its
commercials accurate and nom
deceptive.
A. B. Johnston, assistant man
ager Of the Chicago Better Busi-
ness Bureau. said it was more diff
ficult to check radio and television
advertisements than it is news
paper advertisements. Many sta
tions are cooperating by provid-
ing scripts Of their programs, but
he added that there is room for
improvement. One reason he felt

Allen county's population, which
increased 19 percent between 1910
and 1850, has the largest population
gain in northwestern Ohio, according
to census figures released last week.
Second in population only to Lucas
county (Toledo) in Northwestern
Ohio, advance census figures also in
dicate that Allen is the 18th most
populous of Ohio's SS counties.
1850 population figures for other
nearby counties are as follows: Han
cock, an increase of So per cent dur
ing the 10 year period; Putnam
county, g per cent increase, and
Hardin county, 81 per cent increase.
Ohio's nearly eight million people

states of large population.

Vinton County, with 10,735 people,
has the smallest county population in
Ohio. Vinton, celebrating its centen-
nial this year, had 1858 inhabitants
when it was organized in 1850.
New York, the first state in popula-
tion, has one county with less than
10000. California, Pennsylvania, and
Illinois, the other states ahead of
Ohio, each have several counties with
fewer than 10000 inhabitants.
The most common size for Ohio
counties is in the group between
10000 and 10000. There are 25
counties in this class. Next largest
are the 1O,0OO-20,o0O group and the

between 100000 and one million, and
one over the million mark.
Between 1910 and 1850 Ohio gained
14.4 per cent in population, just about
the national average.
Changes in population of Ohio
counties, however, varied widely.
Computations by the Ohio Chamber
of Commerce show that they ranged
from $40 per cent gain for Greene
County to loss of 17.9 per cent for
Monroe County.
Industrialized western and northern
Ohio showed the greatest gains in
population. The losses were all in the
mining and farming counties of
southeastern Ohio with two excep-
tions; Paulding and Henry, rich
agricultural counties of northwestern
Ohio, where mechanized farming cuts
down on labor requirements, regis
tered small losses.
In general population trends in
Ohio counties reflect the changes in
manufacturing activity that took
place during and just after the war.
