URGESU. S. DELAY CENSUS CRITICISM , Biggers Feels Raps Would Discourage Unemployed to File Returns. John D. Biggers, unpaid director of the $5000.000 Unemployment ‘Census, yesterday asked the country to with- hold expressions of skepticism as to the value of the census until the returns are in. To newspaper men at the National Press Club Biggers said: “I don’t ask a cessation of criticism for myself. Skepticism is not going to discourage me. But I am afraid ft will discourage the unemployed persons. “Because if the newspapers are going to continue to cast doubt on whether this census is going to amount to any- thing, the unemployed men and women might get such a mental attitude that when the time comes for them to register they will just say, ‘what's the use?'” Despite Biggers' apprehension, his office yesterday received 11 filled-in questionnaires clipped from newspa- pers which ran pictures of the post card to b delivered to all homes in November. One of the jobless who filled out the newspaper reproduction appended & note saying he was afraid the post- man might overlook him in the official distribution. Census officials said there was no chance of this. Biggers said that if this voluntary registration census is not more than 7 per cent off it will be a “remarkable achievement.” He intends to check the voluntary return by a house to house enumeration of a few typical Jocalities.” “I hope,” Biggers said, “we can eonduct this undertaking with all our cards on the table so the public can know what we are doing or trying to do every step of the way.” He said it is necessary that every unemployed person be told repeatedly during the coming weeks that he or she is expected to fill out between Novem- ber 16 and November 20 the voluntary registration post card which the post- man will leafe at every household, trailer camp and hobo jungle in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii. “We have to make the unemployed man, however low his mentality or limited his education, understand that he has nothing to fear, nothing to lose and that nothing will be held against him through his filling out the regis- tration card, and make him under- stand that he has a good deal to gain,” Biggers said. ———e 3 DOOMED IN ATTACK Convicted of Crime by Jury in North Carolina.

By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, October 8.—One man was killed and 14 persons were injured | yesterday in a crash between an auto- mobile and a Chicago-to-St. Louis bus on State Highway 99 in Northeast Bt. Louis County. The man killed was Paul Anthony, 27-year-old motion picture operator of St. Louis, who was driving alone in the automobile. The car was wrecked s0 badly it was necessary to burn away part of the metal with torches to remove the body. The bus, owned by the De Luxe Motor Stages of Illinois, carried 15 passengers, some of whom were asleep when the collision occurred. The im- pact knocked the front wheels off the bus and it overturned in a shallow ditch. Bus passengers told county authori- tles Anthony’s automobile swayed from side to side of the road as it ap- proached. The bus driver pulled off to the shoulder of the road, but could not avoid being struck, they said. “El Dorado” Explained.

THE EVENING GAS COSTS IN FRANCE CUT SIZE OF AUTOS Designers Concentrate on Midget Products After Increases Bring Price to 47 Cents a Gallon. By the Associated Press. PARIS, October 8.—Compact, four-cylindered automobiles catering to economy-minded French motorists dominate the thirty-first automobile show at the Grand Palais. A 12 per cent increase in fuel costs within the past year emphasized the trend toward beetle-like cars with high compression motors. Ordinary gasoline retails in Paris for 2 francs, 60 centimes a litre (47 cents a gallon). The new models revealed a further inclination to aerodynamic lines but no outstanding mechanical changes were announced. America’s low-priced cars are in the luxury class. France's big three in passenger car sales are Citroen, Peugeot and Renault, which sold 70,000 of the 89,000 new cars mar- keted in France in the first half of 1937, —_— Increase in Travelers. Overseas travelers to Europe num- bered 230,000 from January 1 to Au- gust 15 of this year, as compared with 214.10’030 for the corresponding period of 6. .
