In a sense, adds the ruddy-faced Dominion statistician, the bureau is pioneering, hacking out a new path In census-taking, building a model road on which other nations may travel. ' "The bureau Is instituting radical changes In procedure In this census to achieve speedier compilations and economy of procedure," says Toronto-bora Mr. Marshall, who at 63 has seen action on both sides of the international scene the battlefields and the conference tables. New strides taken by the bureau include the use of "mark-sense" documents, greatly improved census machines, decentralization of operations and more intensive training of field staff. "It is pioneering In several of these procedures," says Mr. Marshall. "A census carried out successfully along these new lines will be more complete, accurate, economical and much faster than previous censuses. Usually three or four years were required before the job was completed. Our objective is to cut the time In half." And the bureau might well do it. For two years it has been driving towards the goal, planning and re-planning; studying the oncoming campaign from every anS'e- cenirat comnuiiee 01 5'ur omcers was set up. at oi uuiera. CRITICAL PERIOD They combined their efforts to plan what Mr. Marshall believes is the most important census in Canada's history. For one thing, it comes at a time when International skies are dark and Canada must have a clear idea what its total manpower resources are in case of war. Then, too, It comes at the half-way mark of the century and will provide an accurate measure of the 50-year growth of the nation. Success, therefore, is essential; and to enstire success the full co-operation of the public Is needed. "Everyone should assist the enumerator when he caUs in June by answering the questions fully and accurately. They will thus fill the role of good Canadians in this huge national stock-taking. A challenge to the bureau, the census presents a personal challenge, too, to Mr. MarshaU; for, as he says, a census "is the biggest statistical task'' a Dominion statistician has to undertake. And this is the first he's undertaken. Tackling big problems, however, are things Mr. MarshaU has been doing all his life. As a 29-year-old second lieutenant, he went overseas with the Second Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles in the First World War, was wounded at Messines In 1917 and later mentioned in dispatches. He came back to lecture at the University of Toronto, entering the bureau In 1922, stepping up to ih top job six years ago. In that time he's gained international prominence, with fellowships and offices in a dozen national and international scientific organizations and representation for Canada, in various international statistical organizations. Yet while making all these great strides In a specialized and complicated professional field, Mr. Marshall still has been and continues to be very much a man of nature. He likes the outdoors. In the summer, you can see him sometimes indulging In his favorite summer sport bird-watching. And in the winter his slight-built figure takes to the ski-trails. He's as familiar a figure on the trails around this capital as any man In these parts. Miss Barbara Teng returned to the city on yesterday's plane from Vancouver where she has been rehearsing with the Elgar Choir. He Wants Canadians Brig Rockingham Meets General MacArthur VANCOUVER (CP) Brig. John 'returned ffom-Tokyo last-night and had this message for his troops: Gen. MacArthur, UN commander in Korea, wants "more Canadian soldiers in the front lines as soon as they can get there." The brigade, now stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, is scheduled to leave shortly for Korea.

Sabotage In Crash Search for American Air Transport Revived SHANNON, Eire (CP) A high United States Air Force official said today the search for an American Globemaster transport, missing since Good Friday over the Atlantic with 53 aboard, was revived Sunday "because everything points to sabotage." The official said wreckage found -by US Air, Force Investigators Indicated the 80-ton troop-carrier was destroyed by sabotage. ' He explained the search reopened because "certain further wreckage is required before this theory can be definitely established."

The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce was so informed last night by Chief Engineer MacCallum of the public works department In answer to a letter of Inquiry which had emanated from the last chamber meeting. L. Smith, divisional engineer for the public works depart ment; was present at last night's meeting of the chamber and answered a number of questions. He told of plans that were be ing made with a view to 1m proving maintenance methods on the road between here and Terraces lnr.ludine the station ing of a grader and crew in the central section between Salvus and Tyee. The main advantags of this would be the saving of travelling time from Prince Ru-port or Terrace in order to get on the job each day. New Taxes Coming up OTTAWA (CP) The 1951 budget, to be presented to Commons Thursday, April 10, at 8 p.m. EST, by Finance Minister Abbott, is expected to increase the tax burden of Canadians. Some expect taxes will be Increased right along the line. Others feel Abbott, with a surplus close to $500,000,000 for 1950-51, wUl announce only selective increases. For instance, there Is speculation personal Income taxes In the lower brackets will be left largely unchanged because of high living costs. Mrs. Florence Skinner, mother of Frank J. Skinner, arrived from Vancouver Sunday aboard the Camosun to spend a month Alcoa adooted its Droeram of major capital expenditures.
