Millions of American* will be enlisted for aelf-enumcratlng *ervlet » | pr(fcfdfnt*bmkin{ niovc designed to save time and improve accuracy. The Census Bureau is mailing Advance Report Forma to nearly 00 million households. It hopes the forms will be filled out completely before the census-taker calls early in April. Questions concerning names, addresses, sex. color or race, age and marital atatus are asked of each person. Other inquiries on bathtubs, flush toilets, number of rooms and kitchen equipment also are listed. Another detailed 10-page questionnaire seeking data on family income, radio and TV sets, air conditioners, schooling, commuting to work and other matters will be left at one out of every four homes. This pale blue form is to be completed and mailed to the nearest census office within three days by the householder. Census officials believe avoiding face-to-face questioning on such sensitive topics as age and income will produce more accurate answers. Replies to all census questions are held in confidence and cannot —under the law—be used for purposes of taxation, investigation or regulation. Any government employe who breaks the secrecy rules faces a fine or jail term. But answers are mandatory. Those who balk can be prosecuted — but the criminal penalties for refusing to answer census questions have never had to be invoked. Counting will start on “T-night” —the evening of March 31. Then census-takers will canvass all but the tiniest hotels and motels to find out who’s away from home. Another,' special tally — “M---night” —Wili eover the missions, skid row flophouses, hobo camps and other havens for the wanderer. > Nudist colonies pose a special challenge. The word is that volunteers will be recruited to take the count while clad only in their red-white-and-blue identification badge. Rank-and-file enumerators, who will go from door to door to collect information, will be paid about sl2 to sl3 a day for two weeks. Two out of three will be women—mostly housewives picking up ex-tra-income for their' families. The questions they will ask were screened by census statisticians and experts representing business, labor and other government agencies. Census Director Robert W. Burgess had the final say. He rejected any inquiries about religious affiliation because some groups protested that a religious clause would violate constitutional freedom of religion. In 1850, the government was not so sensitive. It asked then how many paupers, idiots and convicts were in each family. This year’s 18th decennial census will survey Alaska and Hawaii — and those igloos and grass huts —for the first time. Some residents of the 49th state may be counted with the aid of dogsleds. Major outlines of the answers Americans will give are already known. For example, the Census Bureau predicts the population has increased by 29 million since 1950 —greatest • gain for any 10-year

Ind (UPI> — Graves registration officials from Washington directed the excavation of debris and bodies from last week’s Northwest Airlines turbojet airliner crash near here. Digging in the 56-foot crater the plane dug in the earth was halted for two days while authorities pondered whether to continue their gearch for clues to the crash and While waiting for the .Vfcdlington experts to arrive. The vanguard of 500 Army troops from Fort Knox, Ky., arrived Thursday and began a foot-by-foot search of a wide area around the crater for pieces of wreckage. Officials of the Civil Aeronautics Board urged continuation of the excavation, despite the pleas of several clergymen, in the hope it could be learned what caused the disaster. The airliner plunged into a field near the Ohio River March 17. All 63 persons aboard were entombed in the crater. A memorial service for the victims was held at a cemetery in the Southern Indiana hills near the crash site Wednesday. A few hours later, authorities decided to continue excavation and the- "graves officials and troops were ordered to the scene. "Either Store" HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
