CITY POPULATION
16,812, TRIBUNE
FIGURES REVEAL
Population of Medford is now
18,812, according to figures of
Gerald T. Latham, circulation
manager of the Medford Mail
Tribune. Latham used the 1940
city circulation of 2,751 and the
1945 circulation of 4,099 and by
a method of ratio and propor
tion, arrived at the population.
The matter of city population
came up yesterday when figures
released by City School Superin
tendent E. H. Hedrick's office
and the city water department
showed the city population to be
between 14,290 arid 15,632.
Latham's figures showed pop
uation of the county to be 42,
318. Rural circulation of the pa
per In 1940 was 2,761 and is now
4,672. All figures are based on
the assumption that percentage
of readers remains the same with
increase of population.
Mail Tribune records show a
larger percentage of migratory
population than In 1940, based
on the number of "starts" and
"stops" received for the paper.
Latham said he felt the fig
ures were somewhere nearly ac
curate since the paper reaches
houses in which more than one
family reside and is delivered to
homes where only couples live
who would not be counted on a
school census.

ground located near the center
of a tract owned by plaintiff.
At the time of the sale of the
land ownership of the acre was
unknown to the defendants. At
torneys in the case were direct

Lindbergh Favors
World Organized
To Ban A-Bombs
Washington, Dec. 18 (U.R)
Charles A. Lindbergh, noted
aviator and one-time non-interventionist,
today favors a world
organization backed by "over
whelming" power to prevent an

He believes the organization
should be led by the "western
peoples," that its decisions
should not be subject to veto by
any nation and that It should be
backed not only by power but
moral force.
The flier, a leading opponent
of American ' entry into World
War II, made his present views
known at a dinner here last
