FAR W IN LAST4 YEARS Census Bureau Estimates Total Figure Now 1 39, .. 500,000 With Servicemen Washington, Feb. 13 U.R) ' The census bureau estimated to day that the population of the United States was about 139, 500,000 on last July 1, including members of the armed forces. On that date, the civilian pop ulation was estimated at 127, 409,297, while a total of 12,228, 109 persons had been taken in to the armed forces and not yet returned to civilian life. On April 1, 1940, population of the United States was 131, 669,275. About 4,500,000 members of the armed forces were in the United States on last July 1, the census bureau estimated, and they accounted for large popula tion increases shown by southern and western states', where a ma jority of military installations are located. Far West Gains The far west was the only sec tion of the country which record ed an increase in the civilian population between 1940 and 1945. Most of the rise was in California, Washington, Oregon and Arizona. For most states, contributions of men and women to the armed forces "exceeded their natural population increase the excess of births over deaths. Nine states, however, recorded a nat ural population increase greater than their contributions to the armed forces. They were North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisina, New Mexico and Utah. Following are some state-by-state estimates by the census bu reau of total population, exclud ing armed forces overseas, and civilian population on July 1, 1945: Total Population, Excluding Armed Civilian Forces Overseas Pop.

Mrs. Roosevelt injected her self into the revived UNO de bate on refugees to oppose a last minute Soviet move, which, in effect, would shift responsibility for the refugee problem from the UNO to the individual na tions concerned. She received the biggest round of applause accorded any dele- gat'- so far with her attack on the Russian maneuver. Mrs. Roosevelt particularly criticized Soviet Andrei I. Vi shinsky for raising the argument that refugee camps were being staffed with German personnel. She spoke extemporaneously In answer to a speech by Vishih sky in. which the Soviet dele gate demanded UNO action to eliminate "fascist and hostile pro paganda" in European refugee camps.

MORSE DIGS AT Boise, Ida., Feb. 13 (U.R) The republican party today stood challenged to prove that its program was one of interest to the common man and that it was not an anti-labor organiza tion. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, R., Ore., speaker at lst night's Idaho Lin coln Day banquet here, failed to denounce the new deal, almost a tradition at past republican per formances, but by inference de nounced the republican party for lack of progrcssivencss. In addition to a demand that the GOP back up the common man and march with labor, Morse asked the republicans to support the United Nations or ganization and eliminate econ omic warfare in trade relations. What To Do "He said the republican party had a chance to be returned to a position of trust and power providing: "The republican party offers itself as the party of no special group; if it will offer itself as a party that believes representa tive government should function in the interest of the common men and women of America rather than to entrench the in terests of just a privileged few; if it will offer itself as a party that believes America must ful- . i. .a. . .
