ALASKA CENSUS
ALMOST COMPLETE
The 17th decennial census in
1 Alaska is now in the final stage of '
! enumeration. Many areas have '
been completed. However, it is
possible that some persons have
been missed. The census bureau is
mailing to each of the postmasters
in the Territory a supply of indi
vidual census report forms with
return envelopes to be given, up
on request, to all such persons
missed in this initial canvass.
Every attempt is being made to
make this the most complete cen- |
1 sus ever taken in the Territory.
A complete count in each of the
four Judicial Divisions will assure
proper representation in the Ter- J
ritorial Legislature for the next
ten years.
For example: If the preliminary ,
incomplete count of May first was
the final report the Third Divi- j
sion would increase its number of
members in the House from seven
to eleven members. The First Di
vision would drop from eight to
six. The Second Division would
have only two members which
would be a loss of two. The
Fourth Division would retain its
five members. It is therefore ex
, tremely important that everyone
be counted.

U. S. Will Eject
Czech Diplomats
WASHINGTON (/I*) A wholesale
ejection of Czech diplomats from
the United States is expected to be
ordered as retaliation by the
American government for the
forced cut in its embassy staff at
Prague.
A detailed plan of action was
being worked out at the state de
partment today by the highest of
ficials. Authorities said the gov
ernment would act quickly once a
final decision had been made.
A two-thirds cut in the Ameri
can staff was ordered by the
Prague government April 28 on
the ground that Americans were
working against the security of
the Czech communist state.
This week Ambassador Ellis O.
Briggs was told that the period for
cutting the staff would expire at
midnight tonight and that the
Czech government would not be
responsible for the safety of
American officials after that.
Briggs immediately ordered 40 of
60 American diplomatic employees
out of the country.
(Berlin dispatches said the first
contingent left today—10 embassy
staff members and their depend
ents, a group of about 30 persons
in all. About 20 more staff mem
bers and their dependents were
reported planning to leave tomor
row).
