BY THE YU OF I860
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.
(/P)—A stationary population in 30
years was visualized by Secretary
Hyde on the basis of statistics.
A declining birth rate, immigra
tion bars and an increase in deaths
were given to President Hoover by
the secretary in his annual report
as the reasons for a probable maxi
mum United States population of
144,000,000 in 1960.
Only four or five cities with 100,
000 or more have enough children
to maintain a stationary popula
tion without newcomers from out
side. Birthrates are not declining
so rapidly on farms.
“It therefore seems probable,’'
Hyde said, “that preventing the
nation’s population from actually
declining may be found to depend
on the development of policies that
will admit of a Large proportion of
the population dwelling in a rural
environment, even though partly or
wholly dependent on non-agricul
tural employment.”
WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 18.
(/P)—Intensified unemployment re
lief activities through decentrali
zation of facilities is intended by
the War Department during the
coming winter.
Secretary Hurley, in his annual
report to President Hoover, said
his department, while maintained
for national military emergency,
was “proud” to cooperate with other
agencies “in solving the peacetime
problems now confronting us.”
The War Department’s relief fa
cilities, he said, would be decen
tralized and coordinated with na
tional relief programs.

GASOLINE REPLACES HAY j
UAL FREE DELIVERY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.
(/P)—Substituting gasoline for hay
as a motive power for carrying
mails has increased the scope of
the rural free delivery without cost
to the government.
Mailmen on rural routes during
1931 served 6,890,687 families, or
25,528,435 individuals.
The development of speedier
transportation enabled consolida
tion of many routes thus enlarging
the service.
There are now 42,412 rural routes.
For the year 1931} Alaska pur
chased industrial machinery, in
cluding vehicles, to the amount of
$4,000,000.
