Census Enumerators
Take to Defensive
Chicago. Apr. 11 U.R Re
ports from the nation's census
takers read today like communi
ques from a battlefront.
The enumerators were on the
defensive.
For instance, Mrs. Doris Wil
liams, Philadelphia enumerator,
was bitten on the nose by a dog.
Another eastern enumerator
was struck on the head with a
frying pan by a householder who
said, "I'm not answering ques
tions for anybody."
Dog Bites Man
At Seattle, a dog rah across
the street to nip census taker
C. E. Phillips.
Another Seattle enumerator,
woman, was chased by a house
holder who grabbed her ques
tionnnaire forms and smudged
out all the answers she had col
lected. The man was charged
by FBI agents with interfering
with a government agent.
Indians in the Kickapoo vil
lage near Shawnee, Okla., re
fused to dicker with a woman
census taker until sne provea
that she was an Indian. It just
nappenca inai sne was il-ihicu
by marriage to the chief of an
other tribe.
Census Taker Arrested
At Minneapolis, police arrest
ed census taker Ralph Sladcn
for overtime parking and learned
he'd been arrested and served
prison terms for burglary, lar
ceny, robbery, forgery, lewd
ness, disorderly conduct, petty
larceny and vagrancy. Today he
faced a new charge falsifying
the federal application forms ho
signed to become an enumera
tor. A Bartlesville. Okla., enumera
tor found a man in his home
"dead drunk." The census taker
offered to come back next week.
"No, ask me the questions
now." he told her. "I'll be just
as drunk next week."
Detroit enumerators planned
special "Operation Skidrow"
for Thursday.
Almost 150 enumerators will
Invade the skidrow district
Thursday, taking up positions in
flophouses to count the bums as
they wander in and out.
Uses Private Plan
Enumerator James Richard
ion of Ashport, Tenn was using
his private plane to canvass
dwellers on islands in the Mis
sissippi river. At Detroit Lakes.
Minn., Rudolph Nikula traveled
on horseback when floods made
roads Impassable but Arthur
Saari loaded a tractor on his
truck, drove as far as he could.
and then continued by tractor.
Ruth Sorrells hired a rowboat
to reach a family isolated by
floodwaters in a house near
Shoals, Ind.
The persistent knocking of
Enumerator Regina Wisniewski
probably saved the lives of a
young West Allis, Wis., house
wife and her three-year-old
daughter. The knocking aroused
the housewife just before she
and the child lapsed into uncon
sciousness from leaking gas.
The census, 17th in the na
tion's history, probably will
show the United States has 151,
000,000 residents, according to
estimates, about 20,000,000 more
than 10 years ago. It Includes
everv American born before
12:01 a.m., local time, April 1
1950.
Four More Astoria
Homes Threatened
Aotni-io Or Anr II UI.P)

sliding hillside here and the Red
Cross said they will bring the
total number of homes destroy
ed or evacuated to 21.
Three of the four newly
threatened homes will be moved
if possible, the Red Cross added.
The huge, slow-moving slide is
caused by rain-lousencd soil slip
ping down the steep incline.
A home owned by the Law
rence Jacksons has moved 150
rot cinr thi sliriini action be
gan early this year, but it hasn't
tipped over. Movers pian 10 save

been smashed to pieces by the
slide.
