SAYS SCIENTIST
Refuses to Discuss Causes
of Decrease Evidence
Gathered In All Ameri
can Cities Over 25,000

United Press Staff Correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS. June 26.( UPl
The American association for the ad
vancement of science learned tonight
the birth rate among Catholic fami
lies Is dropping "almost sensation
ally." Professor 8. A. Btouffer of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, appearing before
the association's section on social and
economic sciences, said the Catholic
birth rate Is falling three times as
fast as In proteBtant homes.
His evidence, he said, was based on
a survey of 40,768 families through
out Wisconsin, particularly urban.
Scientists arose at conclusion of his
talk to ask whether he attributed the
sharp drop In Cathollo births to dis
semination of literature explaining
the so-cslled "rhythm" system of
birth control.
The "rhythm" system, referred to
by Its exponents as a "natural means
of birth spacing." has general ap
proval of the Cathollo church.
"I would not want to venture an
opinion on the causes of this decline
In Catholic family births." Professor
Btouffer said. "It Is a highly debat
able subject and I prefer not to go
beyond what my data actually shows.
"Whether Catholic families are
using birth control or aro resorting
to continence cannot be proved from
this evidence."
Professor Btouffer pointed out that,
dreplte the failing birth rate among
Catholics, their families still are
larger, on the average, than others.
His survey showed that 100 "aver
age couples" married by Cathullc
priests In Milwaukee during 1010 and
1020 had 301 children In the first
seven years of marriages, while 100
Catholic couples married In 1925 and
1028 hsd only 171 children, a 18 per
cent decline.
The decline In the birthrate among
non-Catholic families in Milwaukee
wss only five per cent, he added.
"In other Wisconsin cities the
Catholic decline was somewhat great
er," he said. "Polish and Italian Cath
ollo families reduced their birthrates
about the same as German and Irish
Catholics."
Added to his personal studios In
Wisconsin. Professor Btouffer had evi
dence covering all American cities of
3.1.000 population and more.
These figures revealed that birth
rates dropped most rapidly In cities
whero a largo percentage of catholic
population and "far less rapidly" In
cities with a Bmall percentage of
Catholics.
The decline In "Inrge Catholic fami
lies" started shortly after the World
war, the professor said, but did not
tart Its "almost sensational" drop
until about 1025.

eye of small groups of city police.
One other lumber company waa
preparing to resume "slow bell" ope
rations later In the day.
No unusual Incident occun-ed as
about 20 men In each of the five
mills reported for work. The 100
(state patrolmen ordered mobilized
In Portland for duty were held at
state police headquarters here.
As far as could be learned, none Of
the seven operators who previously
had announced they would place
men at work today planned Imme
diate extensive operations, appar
ently preferring to proceed slowly In
the hope the Sawmill and Timber
Workers' union, despite Its emphatic
refusal of the employers four-point
offer at a mass -meet tag last night,
might yet see fit to accept the terms
aa a basis of negotiations.

lng the robbery of the Keys Second
Hand atore. 42 South Front street,
which was broken Into laat night
sometime before 11 o'clock, and seven
puns stolen. Although other mer
chandise may have been stolen, a
quick check-up revealed only the
puna mlwiiig this morning.
The front door of the store had
been broken open with a "Jlmmle."
Poltc are working on the theory
that the Intrusion was commuted
by the same person, or pontons, who
have committed similar robberies
here and in Oold Hill during the
winter.
when she asked the reason for this
action, Waley told her: "Don't ak
any questions. Just do what I tell
you."
Then Mahan eame out of the woods
and the trio drove to Ellensburg,
whereupon, Dore said Mrs. Waley ex
plained: "I heard a voice from the
rear of the car say:
" 'Hey. mister, can I got out now?
"I asked them who that was. They
told me to mind my own business.
'"I think that's the Weyerhaeuser
boy,' I told them, and again they told
me to mind my own business.
"Harmon then asked Mahan why
he had brought me along and Mahan
replied:
" 'Well, she'll have to get broken
In some time, won't she?'"
In Spokane, Dore said Mrs, Waley :

occupied previously, adding that "I

she told her husband: "This looks;
like a ransom bill," but that Waley j
aaaured her: "Don't worry: U Isn't.

Senator Long, (D., La.), who pro
poses to seek approval of his "share-the-wealth"
program as an amend
ment to the new tax bill when tt
comes before the senate, asked Har
rison If President Roosevelt had
"changed his mind" about having nls

sanee resolution.
"There has been no change In the
attitude of the president," Harrison
replied. "There may have been a
change of attitude on my part."

assured the senate the procedure of
passing the nuisance resolution sep
arately to save loss of revenue was
the Idea of himself and Harrison from
the start.
The only reason this plan waa not
followed In the first place. Robinson
explained, was that the house ways

such "that It might have been sev

could be reached."
He added that It was realized con
