F o E itk E S b e e S R T [ S e S R Census May Begin With Household at Executive Mansion Mr. or Mrs. Hoover to Be First in District When Queries Are Answered. By the Assoclated Press. President Herbert Hoover and his household quite probably will be enu- merated first, or at least with some spe- cial showing, when the Capital City's census-taking begins next Wednesday. As fdr back as the first census, in 1790, precedent may be found for such procedure. The names of prominent people, such as John Hancock and Samuel Adams, Boston, appeared at the head of census lists. Washington had not become the National Capital then. Logical Selection. President Hoover proclaimed the cen- sus, and it is considered but logical at the Census Bureau that it should be brought first to his front door. He will have opportunity to give the frank re- plies for which he asked in his procla- mation—unless Mrs. Hoover should chance to come to the door to speak for the family. A possibility was whispered about to- day that J. Sterling Moran, census supervisor for the District of Columbia, in charge of 397 enumerators, might himself appear at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue to make inquiries about the Hoover home. At the front portico, with its great white columns, the following questions might be put to the President: Your name? Your relationship to the family? Is your home owned or rented? For census-taking purposes, bureav experts explained today, a President is | & person, and is to be interrogated as | such. In Chief Household. All those who can answer the ques- tion, “Where do you live?” with the re- ply, “At 1600 Pennsylvania avenue” will be enumerated in the White House household. . All the rest of Washington's official- dom, including Vice President Curtis, Speaker Lol and Chief Justice Hughes, will counted as they chance to come, just so many tallies in the big brown portfolios.
