JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1956 EIGHTEEN PAGES SIX CENTS. Ike Urges World Nuclear Control 39,000 Census Is Forecast for City by 1960 Present Janesville Population Is 32,627 Says Phone Official Surveys show that present population is 32.627 as compared to the official 1950 census figures of 24.899, an increase of 31 per cent in less than six George A. Howden. Appleton. dis-! trict commercial engineer of the; Wisconsin Telephone said in talk to the Rotary Club here Mon-i day.

i Looking into the future. Howden; predicted a population of 39,000 Janesville by the end of 1960. i Howden, who served as Janes-' ville manager of the telephone company from 1942 until going to Appleton in 1950, based his forecast on figures compiled by the Wisconsin Telephone by outside researchers and the U. S. Census Bureau.

He made his forecast while explaining how his company plans its future expansion. Robert Tracy, a Rotarian and member of the board of directors i of the Wisconsin Telephone in-1 troduced Howden. Long-Range Planning "Using a conversion figure of 3.5." Howden said, "our last pri- vaie census, which shows a total of 9,322 families located within the! new city boundaries, gives Janesville a population of 32,627 at the end of 1955. The conversion figure of 3.5 means an average of that many persons in each of the families." Illustrating his talk with graphs prepared for the occasion, Howden explained that the telephone company outlines its expansion well in advance through long-range planning in an attempt to have the facilities ready when they are needed. "A total of $30,000,000 was spent by pur company in Wisconsin on new construction last year 'and we plan to spend $38,000,000.

or over three million per ftbnth. during 1956 for new cable, vjjre, buildings end central office equipment," 1 Howden said. "In Janesville alone a total of $198,000 was spent last year and over $200,000 will be spent for new equipment in 1956." In spending these huge amounts for facilities, the most important problems facing the company are these: when and where the construction should take place; how much cable, wire and central office equipment should be provided. If construction is placed before it Southeast Asia Force to Check Reds Held Vital Dulles Tells Nations of SEATO That Soviet Aims Are Unchanged GEORGE A.

MILKS KARACHI. Pakistan S.j Secretary of State Dulles called 1 today for the creation of military in being" to protect the more exposed SEATO nations from the threat of Communist aggres- sion. Dulles warned the first closed session of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization's meeting of iforeign ministers that the old Soviet policy of violence has only ibeen "held in reserve," not aban-j doned. i The American secretary said as. a result of the Soviet switch in tactics, "there is less danger of; war than when violence and threats! were being utilized." But he de-i clared that the West has found no' evidence Moscow is actually abandoning force ir.

Other delegates to the, three-day meeting of the eight-nation alliance interpreted Dulles' statement as a suggestion for the creation of local SEATO as the North Atlantic Alliance maintains in Europe. He added that the "forces in President Asks Bulganin for Red Co-operation Safeguards Against Atomic Stockpiles Are Proposed WASHINGTON President Eisenhower is urging Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin to join with the Western powers in working out a world disarmament system "directed especially to bringing under control the nuclear threat."

No action was taken on any of the matters although there was lengthy discussion. Presented in the form of recommendations for early action were the following projects: of new fire stations on Milton avenue and at the corner of Linn and Galena streets at an estimated cost of $300,000. sewer extensions in the River Valley area at an estimated cost of $80,000, east side of the city beyond Randall avenue at an estimated cost of $174,000, and in the South Janesville area at an estimated cost of $90,000. City Manager Forster said the time has arrived for action on the construction of new housing facilities for the fire department, a need which was first recognized some 30 years ago.

He said the location of the present central fire station was considered poor 30 years ago and the condition has become worse over the years. Predicts Insurance Rate Cut Forster said tne city has grown 54 per cent in area, 32 per cent in population, 56 per cent in number of building units and 284 per cent in dollar valuation in the 30-year period but nothing has been done to improve the housing facilities of the fire department. Speaking of his recommendotion for the construction of two new fire stations outside but near the downtown business district, Forster said "These plans will materially pave the way for a reduction of Janesville fire insurance rates." The city manager recommended that the city purchase the Woodring and Heffron properties at 303 and 239 Milton avenue for a new central tire station, which he said could be built for an estimated $175,000. He further recommended locating a second station on city- owned land at Linn and Galena streets. That would cost, from $75,000 to $90,000.

he estimated. Uncer present conditions, there would be no need for additional equipment or manpower, Forster said, but he qualified the statement that more of each might be needed If the city's present rate of growth continues. Old School Sites Unsatisfactory In answer to questions on why city-owned land at former sites of Jefferson and Adams schools were not selected for the east side station, Forster replied that those along with numerous other locations were studied and found unfavorable. He said the decision to locate the central station at the proposed east side site was based on the amount of land available. A training tower and field will be located at the central station site, he said.

The Woodring-Heffron properties can be purchased for $24,300, Forster said in announcing that 60-day options have been obtained from the property owners.
