say. Most of the cleanup work
is going on in North and South
Dakota, Montana and Minnesota,
where spring floods delayed the
census takers several weeks.
The rest of the 1,549 enumer-
ators still on the census payroll
are busy completing the job OF re-
checking figures for large cities.
Such rechecks in Washington al
ready have delayed release OF pre-
liminary population figures sew
eral times.
Will Be Near Expectations.
From the reports on hand, CEN
sus officials say that the national
count will come close to the ex-
pected figure. They place it at
something between 1905 million
and ISL million.
In 1910, there were 13l .699 .275
people living in the United States
In 1880, there were less than 122
million; in 1920, less than LOG
million. In 1870. at the time OF
the first census. United States
marshals and their deputies
counted 3.929,2 people.
If the 1850 estimate is correct
it would indicate an increase OF
about 20 million people within the
last 'decade-the greatest numeri-
cal gain in American history. Pro-
portionately, however, it is a rela-
lively small increase for country
which more than doubled its popu-
lation every 80 years until 1880

show in many cases a startling
decrease of farm population ir
favor of the towns.
New York Tops Cities.
The biggest city-New York
is still unreported. But the WORD
is that the 1850 count will estab-
lish New York once and for al
as the largest city of the world.
Among the other leading cities
Chicago is assured second place
with a preliminary report o1

Problem For U. S.
The American government, di-
plomatic officials said, faces two
urgent problems.
They are % what to do about
evacuating Americans in Southern
Korea, especially women and chill
dren, and 90 what steps to take
to deal with the North Korean
Communist assault on one of the
admitted weakest points OF the
non Communist front.
Officials estimated that there
are about 1,700 Americans in
Southern Korea, mostly in the
Seoul area, of whom about 1000
are officials and 200 are depend
ents. There are 500 officers and
men in a military advisory mis-
sion.
Senator Knowland. one of the
severest Senate critics Of the Tru-
man administrations foreign pol
icy, last November visited South
Korea and made trip to the 38th
parallel border between the United
States-sponsored South Korea and
the Communist country to the
north. @
1T, is my Judgment. based on
a personal visit to the 38th paral-
lei last November, that the North
Korean government would not
have attempted such an invasion
without the support of the Soviet
Union" Senator Knowland told
a reporter.
Senator Knowland saw in the
reported invasion a test of the
authority of the United Nations,
under whose auspices the republic
Of South Korea was set up.
1T certainly presents test case
as to whether the United Nations
can function in the face of an
overt act of aggression" the Cali
fornia Senator said.
The invasion of Southern Korea
by the Northern Reds is part of
an overall Communist plan to
overrun the entire continent of
Asia, Sac Sun Kim, counselor of,
the Korean embassy told The
Star early today.
IT'S an attack they have been
planning for long time, and
that is why we have been seeking
military planes and heavy equip
ment from your Government"
Mr. Kim declared, adding in a
sober voice: I'VE haven't been
able to get any up to this time" !"
The counselor said South Korea
would have good chance to
repel the invaders, and even take
over the North, if help in the
form OF planes, tanks and ships
was forthcoming quickly from
Gen. MacArthur's command.
According to the counselor,
South Korea's 100000 American
trained troops are much better
man for man than the Northern
troops who number some 250,00O.
But Mr. Kim pointed out that the
invaders had heavy superiority in
planes and tanks.
I'VE only have small arms to
oppose their armor; we have only I
a couple of dozen planes, mostly
trainers, against their 200 craft,
some of which are Russian made"
he asserted.
Mr.. Kim said that he rather |
expected Chinese Communist at
tack on Formosa shortly as part
of co-ordinated Red military
