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.
