Population Booms, And So Does Talk By GEORGE CROUCH The population crisis is like the weather, everybody talks about it but nobody seems to know what to do about it. The Harvard Alumni Club of Akron discussed possible solutions to the booming birth rate Wednesday with three members of the Harvard faculty.

They were Roger R. D. Revelle, director of the university's Center for Population Studies, Dr. Henry W. Vaillant, assistant professor of population studies in the School of Public Health, and the Rev.

Arthur J. Dyck, professor of population ethics in the Divinity School. PROFESSORS and alumni agreed the problem was of crisis proportion. They discussed abolition of all laws against abortion, encouragement of sterilization, an educational campaign aimed at persuading people to limit the size of families and government tax incentives and penalties to encourage people to have fewer children. Revelle blamed affluence and our "sloppy living habits" for the pollution problem associated with overpopulation.

He said that if we are to go on living the way we do, our population will have to be reduced to 20 to 30 million (it is currently in excess of 200 million) to go back to the pollution level of 1940. Mr. Dyck linked population problems with poverty and said we will never make advances in curing the first until we eliminate the second. DR. 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.

Psychological data was cited to show that children from small families due to the individual attention received have on the average better health and higher intelligence than children of large families. Mr. Dyck attacked the proposition of abortion on demand, DENVER BATTEN Services for Denver A. Batten, 48, of 2903 Bilburston will be at 3 p.m. Friday in the Hopkins Canton rd.

MAIN ST. 720 LINCOLN WAY EAST 1903 TUSCARAWAS WEST MASSILLON CANTON House read just one vi census woes New York Times Service WASHINGTON One Philadelphia man sid he does not work but his wife does. He asked, "Who is the head of the household?" The Census Bureau said, "Your wife is." He insisted that he was the head, since he wears the pants in the family. But if he listed her as head, he would have to put himself down as "wife of the head" on the census form and somehow that didn't seem right.

He was told to cross out "wife" and substitute "husband." THIS WAS but one dilemma in tens of thousands that kept census offices across the nation hopping all day Wednesday it was the day for Census 1970, the appointed time for millions of Americans to fill their census forms. The nose-count went fairly smoothly the first day, but all kinds of zany situations cropped up. Among them is the case of a Georgia census superpisor and his wife who must rank first in the nation for putting themselves into their work getting the doctor to induce labor SO their second baby could be counted in time for the census.

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.

Olson said census assistance telephone centers there had received 6,000 calls Monday and Tuesday and several thousand more Wednesday. saying that moral problems "cannot be simply ignored."
