Population Squeeze In Biggest Cities Population Totals Os Cities Disagree By DOC QUIGG United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—ln the population “explosion” which sociologists fear may someday have human beings standing bumper - tobumper in a global bottleneck, three cities lead all the rest. Which is the biggest city in the world? It all depends, as some philosopher always is saying, on how you figure. But if a New Yorker is doing the figuring, hell tell you this polyglot burg is easily the biggest—any way you look at it—and he’ll challenge Tokyo and London to show otherwise Tokyo seems to be growing by leaps and bounds and London spreading itself out into the suburbs fairly fast and New York having awsquabble about-just what it is doing. With the aid of the Tokyo and London bureaus of the United Press, here are the latest obtainable figures on population: Disagree On Census Tokyo proper — London Administrative County — 3,250.000; New York City proper — either 7,771,509, if you/belicve the latest census, or more than 8 million if you take the estimates of those who say the census was inaccurate Greater Tokyo — 8,518.622; Greater London — 8,270,000; metropolitan regiotf of New York — 15,500,00.

With that breakdown. New York comes out on top, no matter whether you figure a governmental administrative entity or the greater area which includes the suburbs. Tokyo proper has 23 wards and an area of 356 square miles. Greater Tokyo is 1.257 square miles. The administrative County of London is 117 square miles. Greater London includes the “outer ring” of suburbs in neighboring counties totaling 721.6 square miles. New York City proper is composed of five boroughs totaling 315 square miles. The New York metropolitan region is a complex of 17 counties surrounding the five counties of the city proper, and its land area is 6,915 square miles. Com meters Increase Jam The foregoing jungle of figures seems to show that New York is crowding almost as many human beings into its city-proper area as each of the others has in its greater-city area. To add to the humanity squeeze in New York, one million persons commute into the city every working day- Also, it has a million visitors each year. As for growth, in 1950 Tokyo proper had only 5,385.071 and greater Tokyo only 6,277,500In the 1951 census, the London Administrative County was 3,300.000 and Greater London 8,348,000. In the 1950 U.S. Census, New York proper showed 7,981,957 and the New York region 13,951,006. Comparing these with the latest figures, you’d say that both Tokyo and its suburbs are on a population zoom; that London, both inner and outer, is shrinking; that New York proper is either a little

leaner or a little fatter, depending on whom you believe, while its suburban area is gaining. However, the British seem to be moving into the suburbs of the suburbs. They’ve got a thing of 2.000 square miles called the London Transport Area which Jast summer had 9,947,000. an increase of four per cent over the previous year. Cheerio, old boy.

FIVE (Continued from Page One) Americanism briefly, emphasizing that it is a history of struggle and tears. In his address Judge Parrish sharply criticized those “who believe that America is only for the whites,” reminding that one of the first to give his life for the new young Republic was a Negro, Cris■pus Attucks, at the Boston massacre. He denounced the situation in Arkansas and repeated that every citizen is free and equal, th*t there is no difference between the white and colored in this respect. , The program Jhis morning included the invocation by the Rev. Virgil Sexton, pastor of the First Methodist Church, and the pledge of allegiance led by the Rev. Sexton. Certificates of citizenship and small souvenir flags were given to each new citizen by Judge Parrish and the program concluded with the playing of the national anthem by an instrumental quartet from -Adams Central high school. The silverfish is not a fish and does not live in the water but is a small wingless insect with a fishlike bristle tail.

To Appeal Verdict By Judge Parrish Jay Circuit Court Appeal Is Planned A court case in the Jay circuit court, presided over by Judge Myles F. Parrish as special judge during the summer months, will be appealed to the Indiana appellate court, according to lawyers for one of the parties. The lawyers charged that Judge Parrish, in making a second order that a child be turned over to her paternal grandparents rather than to her mother in a divorce case, was depriving a mother of custody of her child for the first time when such mother was a lit and proper person to have such custody. The child is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Thomas Morrison, who were recently granted a divorce in the Jay circuit court. At that time Judge Wayne W. Hinkle of that court awarded custody of the child Jo Mrs. Morrison. , Later, a petition filed by the child's grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. George Morrison, asked to have the court order changed to give them custody. Judge Parrish was named special judge, and on July 23 ruled to change custody. - The child was still in the custody of the mother, however, while a motion for a new trial was pending. A contempt of court motion by the grandparents was dismissed this week when Judge Parrish overruled the motion for a new trial, and granted custody of the child to the Morrison's. The child's mother, who was denied custody, will appeal the case to the appelate court.

Early Winter Hits In Northern Plains Portions Os Area Reported Snowbound By UNITED PRESS Portions of the northern Plains and Rockies lay snowbound today in one of the earliest "winters” to hit the area in 32 years At the same time, weathermen warned of possible, flash floods in four southern states as the remnants of tropical storm Esther plowed inland. A virtual blizzard in the North Wednesday buried Going-To-The-Sun highway in Glacier National Park under three feet of snow and whipped nearly a fbbt of snow across most of Montana. Helena, Mont., dug out from under a nine-inch snowfall, the deepest September snow since 1925 and the second heaviest on record The storm closed down the Helena airport, blocked highways and stranded four governors attending a Missouri Basin InterAgency Commission meeting. The governors, who had planned to leave Helena Wednesday, were Herschel C. Loveless of lowa, Joe Foss of South Dakota, Milward Simpson of Wyoming and John E. Davis of North Dakota. In the South, tropical storm Esther claimed at least four lives as she pounded .across Louisiana and swept into Missisippi, Alabama, Tennesee and Louisiana. Forecasters warned of possible flash flooding in those states. The frigid air mass in the North is expected to spread into much of the upper Mississippi Valley and the central Plains today.
