Koll Call
The longest roll call in United States history is underway
now with a force of 1().(KX) enumerators. The life of the
census taker is fillet! with perils and a lot of rough surfing. een
though the process this time is simplified by IBM machines,
but increased by the addition of Hawaii, an estimated ooO.tMM)
islanders who don't tlig-- a de English. Mrs. Cocoa Hind, a
part Hawaiian who was counting heads, asked a
Korean, "Ypur ualiiiw (woman) in Korea maki (dead) or
tnakiJ" He replied, "May maki. Mabe no maki. Me no write."
Enumerators cl united to the brink of volcanoes, searched
coastlines and cane fields for the occupants of plantation
shacks. Hut closer to home the workers found just as many
problems. A Houston housewife chased an enumerator down
the street with an ax, shouting that her age and the nurmVr of
baths in her house were none of the government's business.
And in Detroit, a census taker got no answer at doens of
rooms in the Statler Hotel, then discovered she was in the
middle of a convention for 4()0 deaf mutes.

People are thinking for themselves these days, says think-in- g
man Leonard W. Hall, an old pro in politics, in a feature
article on how politics has changed lecause of modem communications. Hadio, newspapers, and TV present the issues
clearly to people, making it easier for them to make intelligent
decisions, he says.
In his book, Politics V. S. A., he illustrates the TV revolution in thinking in an interview with an oldtimer from Maine,
which had always Jeen a Hepublican state and suddenly had
a vast numler of Democratic voters. "Well," the man explained, "we can't do anything with this television. Our children were brought up to think that Democrats had horns.
Now they see them on television and realize some of them
don't have horns a "tall!"
There is new hope for Carnegie Hall, an archive of an
auditorium which is to be torn down when concert activities
move to the new Lincoln Outer. Tenants who will have to
find new plates to live are fighting for the city to take over the
huge New Yoik building.
