The answer is no, but many people are overlooking the instructions on an Inside flap of the questionnaire. Among the perils: Citizens using ball-point pens instead of the required pencil; parents allowing children to play with forms; family dogs chewing up the questionnaires; members of minorities writing "human" instead of giving their race. Everywhere, census offices report that old persons are having trouble with the questionnaire. In Chicago, Regional Director Theodore F.

VAILLANT was critical of the medical profession and how little he said it had done in aiding patients to control the size of their families.
