Edgar L. Bryan, regional field director for fee U.

S. Census'Bu- reau at Pittsburgh, gave the following synopsis: The population for Pittsburgh fell to 600,347 in 1960. It was 676,806 in 1950. Meanwhile, the population for the county included) rose to 1,597.120 in 1960 compared to 1,515,237 in 1950. "The population, of the city of Pittsburgh has declined for two main reasons," said Bryan.

"Pittsburgh in if redevelopment program has eliminated large areas of sub-standard dwellings and the trend in cities of Pittsburgh's size is for the residents to move into lire suburbs." According to Bryan, however, the sharp drop -in city population is not only local, "but statewide too, and for that matter, even nationwide." "Erie and Bethlehem are the only cities I know in this state that hive recorded a substantial increase in population over the 10 year period," said Bryan. He aded: "The surge to the suburbs was even greater than expected. Johns town, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Reading, Altoona, Philadelphia, aH those big cities suffered a toss in population. It's just the trend." Bryan explained that these are preliminary figures subject to revision. "But it is unlikely that any significant revision wiH take place even after the census returns are carefully examined," he said.

State Count Up 6.9 Per Cent But Others Grow Faster By JOHN KOENIG JR. Associated Press Special Service WASHINGTON (AP)-The Census Bureau Friday renewed its prediction that Pennsylvania will lose three seats in the House of Representatives as a result of the I960 census. The prediction was made In 1958 when the bureau projected Pennsylvania's 1960 population at about 11,300,000. Preliminary state totals just announced show the Keystone State failed to reach that figure. The preliminary figure for Pennsylvania is 11,217,708.

This represents an increase of 6.9 per cent over The paradoxical loss of representation results from fte Commonwealth's failure to keep pace with faster growing states such as California. In 1950, California edged ahead of Pennsylvania. The population totals were so close, however, that the two states were allotted the same number of seats in the House-30. New York was the only state to outrank the with 43 House members. This year's census figures also are expected to result in a loss of three House members for New Yoric.

California may gain as many as seven. Pennsylvania at one time had 36 members. This number was gradually whittled down in the last few decades as newer parts of the country began to grow at a faster rate. Since House, membership will drop back to 435, the number be- Continoed on Page Five Dick and Rocky Meet, Smite, Shake Hands By JAMES DEVLIN NEW YORK (AP)-Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Gov.

Herter indicated Friday he has soured on the personal diplomacy methods practiced by his predecessor, the late John Foster Dulles.

He told a Senate subcommittee "I am coming to the conclusion that it would be desirable for the foreign ministers to curtail" their attendance at international meetings tiat take them out of the country. To cut down this traveling about, Herter said, wodd mean greater delegation of responsibility to chief subordinates "and greater reliance upon the normal mechanisms of diplomacy." He testified before a subcommittee investigating whether the government's policy making machinery functions as efficiently as it should. Despite the summit debacle, Herter apparently did not extend his misgivings to diplomatic travels by the President. He said he believes personal meetings of heads of state are "there is no substitute for personal relations."

Nelson A. Rockefeller may soon declare himself back in the race for the Repuli- can presidential nomination came Friday from the party's national chairman, Thruston B. Morton. Morton held a news conference after the Republican National Committee' had given President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon a ringing endorsement He said he would not be surprised if Rockefeller jumps sack into the contest in the next two or three days.

The New York governor quit as a contender last December, saying those who would control the Republican convention did not want any contest made against Nixon. Last week he said he would be available for a draft, although he conceded Nixon is likely to get the nomination. Wednesday he blasted at the Eisenhower-Nixon record in a lengthy statement outlining his divergent views. Morton said he doesn't dunk an announcement that Rockefeller is an active candidate for the nom ination "would raake much difference." He said most national committee members "fed very definitely the vice president will be our nominee." Asked if Rockefeller would make a good president, Morton replied: "He would be a better president than those the Democrats are proposing." Morton didn't give any specific basis for his prediction. But other Republicans.voiced the view, that Rockefeller would be taking oa an almost impossible task in attempting to npset Nixon, who already has more than enough delegates pledged to give him the Morton said a resolution endorsing the policies and actions of Eisenhower and Nixon "warmly and enthusiastically" would have been adopted as a matter of course even if there had been no Rockefeller criticism.

Among other things, Rockefeller said "our national defense needs great strengthening." U. S. Claims Castro Makes False Charges WASHINGTON (AP) The United' States Friday issued a new, strongly worded accusation that the regime of Prime Minister Fidel Castro in Cuba is making false and offensive charges against this country. A copy of the protest went to every other republic in the 21-nation Organization of American States but the State Department said this -has no significance. Some diplomats observed that circulation of the document to each of the hemisphere nations might well be preliminary, to some formal U.S.

action in the OAS. U.S. officiaili said the new protest, following stern and more detailed note to Cuba last Saturday, went to all hemisphere nations because it dealt with a Cuban official pamphlet that also went to other OAS members. The pamphlet was a republication of a speech by Castro which the State Department viewed as an implied attempt to blame the United States for the explosion of the French munitions ship La Coubre in Havana Harbor last March 4. A department official said the pamphlet included gruesome photographs purporting to have been taken at the disaster scene.

Last Saturday's note to Che Cuban Foreign Relations Ministry, accusing the- Castro government of an "intense official campaign of slander" against the United States, never hay been published in full in Cuba, a U.S. official said.

From the diplomatic standpoint, U.S.

-officials figured there was no alternative. For Eisenhower to cancel, his trip now, they said, would cause untold loss of, American prestige throughout Asia. In Japan, cancellation of the trip would hurt the sentiments of the vast majority of the proud Japanese people who, U.S. officials believe, still want the U.S. President to come.

And cancellation would be a smashing blow to the friendly Kishi government and to prospects for Japanese ratification of the pending" U.S.-Japanese security treaty.

Japan at Law or Violence Editor's the following story, James Gary of the Associated Press Tokyo staff discusses actors behind the student demonstrations in Japan. By JAMES CARY TOKYO (AP). Japan's postwar democracy has reached a crossroads that may determine whether it will live by law and order or repeatedly have to give in to a violent minority. Since May 20 leftist demonstrators' have been agitating to bring about a result that could not achieve by parliamentary means: Defeat of the new U.S.i Japan security alliance, which goes against the left's professed desires for neutralizing Japan in tGe cold war. That campaign exploded around White House emissaries Friday.

Demonstrators surrounded their car, beat on it, and held its occupants prisoner for 80 minutes, demanding that President Eisenhower's visit be canceled. With all the demonstrating and violence it has been' easy to lose sight of these facts: 1. For every Japanese taking part in the "nationwide wave of as leftists cal it, there are at teast 1,000 not participating. 2. The Socialists say it is not America they are opposing.
