Census Bureau Estimates

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

REDS IN UNO TALK
London, Feb. 13 U.PJ Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt drew a great
ovation from the UNO general
assembly tonight when she de
nounced Russian attempts to
force repatriation of European
war refugees as a blow at "hu
man rights and human freedom."
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

gate demanded UNO action to
eliminate "fascist and hostile pro
paganda" in European refugee
camps.

SEN. 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-
