Think of Government f WASHINGTON (UPI) -Iyou think it a bother to fill out a census questionnaire or to give a stranger a lot of personal facts about yourself, consider what the government must do to carry out the national headcount, set for April. Recruit 160,000 census takers within one month. Hire and train 12,000 "crew leaders" who will be responsible for giving enumerators the information and preparation needed to perform their tasks. Take on 13,000 special clerical personnel to handle voluminous in the census paperwork bureau's regional offices. Classroom Instruction Administer a test to each job applicant to make sure that every person employed ii able to follow directions adequately and to do simple arithmetic. Provide an average of two day3 of classroom instruction for each enumerator hired. Once the groundwork is laid, the government must move quickly to organize this massive work force (mostly part-timinto a cohesive unit that is capable of gathering in about three weeks all the data needed e) in - X O. i r 1 i r iii t r 1 every census. , telephone calls. The actual job of taking the census will not get under way even until April 1, but the bureau job would be greater if the Census Bureau had to send an enumerator to every American residence as it did before 1950. Because of the big increase in population, the bureau has relied increasingly on the mails since then. Mail Questionnaire 60 About per cent of households all in American urban and suburban areas will be sent a questionnaire this The year. The: are required to fill in the answers and mail it back. The remaining 40 per cent, mostly in rural or lightly populated areas, will receive the form in the mail with instructions to complete it but to hold on to it until a census representative comes around. Under this system, enumeratorsworking in rural areas wi'l hit an average of 1,200 homes. Their main job will be to see that the forms have been answered completely and correctly In metropolitan areas, enumerators' job will be to visit residences where occupants have either mailed back forms with incorrect or incomplete information or have failed to return them at all. , The Census Bureau admits that it missed about 5 million persons in the I960 count and knows it will miss some people again this year. But it is shooting for a 75 per cent rate of return on mail questionnaires and expects to round up most of the voters through the personal contacts, as well as already has started hiring clerical workers and "crew leaders" needed to get the operation in gear. Those employes, like the 160,000 enumerators who will be hired next month, must pass a examination involving a variety of relatively simple verbal and quantitative exercises. The applicants achieving the highest scores will be offered jobs first. In small towns, the Census Bureau district office usually is able 'to find all the people it needs. Sometimes, officiate say, they have had to accept almost anyone who could pass the qualifying examination. Certainly, the pay does not create any great clamor for the jobs. Enumerators are paid between $2 and $2.50 an hour, on the average, with salary keyed to the number of questionnaires handled. That pay rate does not attract too many men, particularly in big cities. As a result, most of the enumerators tend to be women who are looking for part-tim- e and temporary employment. The government also is making a greater effort this year to interest retired persons in applying for the jobs. Shortly after they are hired, the census takers are taken to a nearby public building frequently an elementary school or firehouse where they are given two or three days of classroom training. The instruction sessions are conducted by a crew leader with the help of a manual prepared by the Census Bureau. Before the training period ends, the enumerators take turns interviewing each other. This is designed to give them confidence and a solid feel for the material with which they are working. In all cases the enumerators are forbidden by law to reveal any of the information they gather. Each citizen is required every by law to answer question asked.
