March 31, 1950 J fa IN GOOD Iff Mrnw Radio-Tttephotot ANTI-LEOPOLD DEMONSTRATION Police hold back huge crowd of anti-Leopold demonstrators gath ered outside North Station in Brussels, Belgium, during a 24-hour general strike by 500.000 Socialist workers against the proposed return of King Leopold to the throne. Violence flared later when some 1300 students attacked streetcars that attempted to operate In defiance of the Socialist-called strike. A Nichola' Worth of Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press slur Write Washington. Mar. 31 U.R Somewhere on Corn island, In the far reaches of the Caribbean sea, is a lone American a radio operator. H e doesn't know it, but he's about to get a letter from his Uncle Sam. It'll be registered and marked "confi dential." It will be part of the program to count Amer ican noses in Hamuli Nichols the census that is about to start. This time the U. 8. department of commerce official counter of noses, is leaving no snout un turned. In the last census, taken a decade ago, the government figured it missed a few million people. Some weren't home and nobody rang the bell again. The takers this time are instructed to call back. Some people were out of town. A desk has been aet up In the big hotels to count their guests. In the case of the gentleman on Corn Island, he will get his query by boat the first time one stops hli way. He will not be required to fill out the compli cated form the folks at home do. He won't have to tell how many apples he has In his orchard, chickens in the back yard, eggs In the ice box and bees in the hive. Only 26 Questions He gets away with a simpli fied form only 26 questions. But the radio operator has to an swer if he doesn't want a nasty follow-up letter from his Un cle S. The bureau of census, In manner of speaking, Is reaching around the world to count its own. Officers and crewmen of all American - documented vessels will be paged. Every vessel of American registry will be cov ered, at home and away. The maritime commission an d the ship operators era working hand In glove with the census people. These men get off even easier than the radio operator on Corn Island. Thoy have to answer only nine questions and can get the job over In a matter of minutes. In general ,thc type of ques tions asked of the sailors will be limited to citizenship, age, mar ital stntus. armed forces services, occupation, employment, educa tion, salaries ann wages, rills Own Papers Since our sea-gone population Is global, It may be some time before we have an accurate count. A man fills out his own Fapers and seals It immediately, t won't be opened again until it is in the hands of officinls of the census bureau. The census personnel lias It figured out that by April 1, all New Law Causes Delay In Tax Remittances Many service station operators In Oregon who have failed to re mit for their 1949 80 motor fuel nil pump licenses apparently be lieve tlu-y arc bring subjected to a double tux. .stale officials said today. But thus is not the case. O. K. Bcals, chief of tha divi sion of foods and dairies and weights and measures of the slate department of agriculture, says there is some confusion due to repeal of one law and the en actment of another, both of which assessed fees against serv ice stations, but for different purposes. Under the new law, the li cense year for fuol pumps be gins July 1 and ends the next June 80. which means that 1949-50 licenses are long past due If they have not been paid. More than 300 rural Iowa churches closed their dnors dur ing the depression of the '30s. fl?T CHOICE saw Of MIUIONS WHO ALWAYS DEMAND Aspirin at its Best shipmasters will have forms for all the men aboard and will pass them around. All are supposed to be returned to the census bureau by the first of June. Fishing vessels and craft ply ing the inland waters other than the Great Lakes will not receive the questionnaires. Their officers and crews will be counted at home base, or the information given to the census takers by the sailors' home folks. The census folks have made it pretty hard for anybody to dodge the nose-count. Also, it is almost impossible under the pres ent system to count any nose more than once. If a sailor's wife includes him In her report when the census taker comes, that's checked against the record at the bureau to see if he has reported for himself. Sunshine Warmth Enlivens Nevada Grasshopper Horde Reno, Mar. 31 U.R Neva da's mighty horde of migratory grasshoppers stirred today as spring weather brought sunshine and warmth to an infested area embracing 4,600 square miles. Supervisor Harry Galloway of the state department of agricul ture said that initial crews would move into the infested northwest portions of the state next week. Thry will plot an area (10 miles wide and 7S miles deep for stra tegic warfare against the raven ous Insects which He astride the Nevada-Oregon border. Able To Crawl Baby 'hoppers will probably start bursting out of their pods by the billions next week, Gal loway said, but for Ilia first month of their lives, they will be growing their wings. During this period, they will be able only to crawl along the ground In search of food. Insect-fighting craws will H'netiate Into the tremendous ivlng carpet of 'lionners with special vehicles, spraying poison ous insecticides over t lie masses of insects. Newly-developed ipniys will bring death to the hoppers covered In a matter of a few short hours, Galluwav said. 'We can I hone to eliminate the horde in any one year," Gallo way explained, "but we hooe to cripple their advance sufficiently this year to Drevent anv whole sale invasion Into the cultivated areas of the Sacramento valley in northern California and south ern Oregon. If necessary, we will use airplanes this year to fight the 'hoppers." Migration in June Galloway said the experts ex pect the clicking horde to make its first mass migration OHrly in June. Before that time, the ex ports believe only local flights will occur. In a 10-year migration over a 500-mile area, the hopper horde has traverse,! a dlannnul imlh across Nnvuria divine rntii'r'limrl i and the few cultivated areas they met bare. Last year they penetrated for the first lime iso lated portions of northern Cali fornia and southern Oregon. Galloway added that the ques tion of what family the migrat ing grasshoppors belong to has finally been settled. National museum scientists in aslungton, D. C, studied specimens of the insects recently and decided they were inalnoplus ruggelsi, a new species In itself of the grasshop per or range locust family. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE Newport, R. I.tU.f.) Three young men thought they had a good thing when one of them put two dimes and a nickel into a cafe cigarette machine and got his money back with the cigar ettes. They repeated 128 times and emptied the machine, all for 25 cents, but the judge called it larceny, imposed suspended sen tences and ordered return of the cigarettes. ft P at I A ,rtU".rtll KEMGIO MADE MARK STAY-WHITE Regularly Oft $1.39 Pt.
