However, If anv citv doesn't like its esti mated population, it can go ahead and make an actual count. There Will be a natural tendency for a citv to fudue in order to get a little extra money.

Scores were treated for injuries, come of them late evening shop pers heading home at the time of the blast 8:10 p.m. Not until the cold morning air cleared away the pall of black smoke was the extent of the de struction fully revealed. As far as the eye could see there were broken Windows, smashed automo biles, scattered debris. Twenty-five of the injured were students at Drexel Institute's night college, less than a block from the rear of the granary. Those listed as missing were: Edward Johnson, a new employe of the grain firm, of Philadelphia. Bvron Weldon, truck driver, ol Miliville. N.J.

Windows were reduced to glass powder, ceilings fell, partitions were hammered out of shape and office furniture was overturned. The force of the blast tore down communications lines on Market Street, knocked electric signs off buildings and showered the area with fragments of metal and wood. The explosion was Ielt.2o nylfs away. The city hall switchboard reported an estimated 25,000 tele phone calls were received In a four-hour period. -Workmen In the demolished plant's warehouse said they were alive "By a miracle." An employe of a nearby business plac-3 said "it seemed as If a train roared at us and then burst with hellish fury.'' Firemen and police probing the red-hot debris for dead and In jured worked under strain.- well aware of the chance that another blast might occur. . Dl'ST BLAMED The explosion was blamed by the milling company's night su perintendent on collected dust. Samuel Purdy said he was at tempting to light a pilot light In a drying vat when the blast was touched off. The building col lapsed almost immediately and burst Into soaring flames. Purdy and three of four other employes of the milling firm es caned with injuries. "It was a dust explosion because that's the sort of thing that hap pens in places like this," Purdy said. "All the lights went out. I re membered I had a flashlight In a back pocket and got in touch with two men In the No. 21 bin. I helped get them out. I turned off all the switches I could, but I couldn't get to the main switch it was too far away. The fire was raging and I had to get out." federal census should be used. But it also said that the secretary of ! state, at a city's request and ex-1 pense, could conduct population counts at any time. This enabled any growing city to increase its share of state money, but at the expense of the other cities. So the Legislature put an end to this business, providing for a three-member State Census Board to make estimates for every city very year. Members ol tnis. board are ivan Rezucha, Portland, a steel com pany executive, who is chairman: Deane Huxtabie, registrar tor tne State Board of Health, executive secretary; and Ken Tollenaar. of the University of Oregon Bureau of Municipal Research. The board has sent its question naires to all of the cities and Tne new system will be better because It will be fair to every city. Under the old system, some cities were penalized because they couldn't afford to have the secre tary of state make census counts." in making the estimates, each city will have to provide detailed information to back up Its figures. The city officials have to ex plain fully -how they arrived at their figures. They must list de tails on any territorial annexa tions since the 1950 federal census.- They have to summarize any in dustrial and commercial changes in the community. The Idea Is that if there has been a population In crease reported, the new people are employed. The city officials have to supply information on the number of new homes, and electric and water meters for every year since 1930.

Huxtabie thinks. The cost of this new activity is surprisingly low. The board will have $20,000 available for ex penses, but Huxtabie doesn't think the board will need . anywhere near that much. There are no salaries to pay, as Huxtabie will do his work as a part-time activity in his Job as Board of Health registrar. About the only -expense will be for office supplies and to pay ex perts now and then to perform technical Jobs.

It's expected that the network will offer at least one major at traction in color every evening of the week. Robert Samoff, NBC President, reportedly has given top priority to this phase of the network's television programing plans for the coming season. Although color programing has Increased considerably in the past year, plans in the making at NBC apparently would more lhan dou ble the amount of color time now available to the public. One ma tor attraction each evening on NBC probably would mean at least one hour and possibly an hour and a half nightly. At the moment NBC Is the only major network W'ith plans for stepping up color productions. CBS, which presents a few color programs, is maintaining its poli cy of "watchful waiting." ABC, which offers no color programs, has said it might launch some in the fall of 1957 if the audience Is large enouRh. Both NBC and CBS are affiliated with manufacturers of color set ABC Is not. You can look for a change of em phasis in the nature of color set advertising, by the way. Manufac turers are awakening to the fact that a large percentage of the pub lic ' doesn't realize all black -and white programs can be seen on color sets. The new theme In color probably will be that you get two sets for the price of one color set.
