The problem chiefly in volves minority groups, according to Winfred Adams, district supervisor for the Bu reau of Census. Adams said Oakland may all 30.000 short of the 408,400 population that has been used by the State estimating its subventions to the city. The subventions include the city's share of gas taxes, license taxes and other allocations that are allocated on the basis of the population count.

WAY BELOW' Adams said the "Vest Oak land count is "way below where it should be." He said census takers have had poor cooperation in the area. The people are not leveling with us," he declared. The large minority popula tion of the district apparently distrusts the census takers, fearing the information could be used agamst them. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL "We are not welfare inves tigators," Ada mi stressed, "and the information we gather is not disclosed to any one. It's strictly He said many residents have not disclosed how many nersons are living in their homes and that neighbors re fuse to tell the census takers the name of the next door resident.

The city council adopted a resolution today urging all Oakland citizens to cooperate in the census or face the con sequences higher taxes. SPECIAL FORMS The Chamber of Commerce has arranged for special "Were You Counted" forms to be distributed to all Oak land school children in an effort to get the count up to the estimated 408,000. If Adams' estimate of i 30,000 reduction in the popu lation holds true, the city's official count would be lower than the 1950 census of 384,575. Chamber officials pointed out that each name on the federal census roll represents $8 a year to the city in state money. Projected over the 10-year period between federal censuses, the lack of cooperation could cost Oakland as much as $2,400,000, the chamber said.

Adams sent special crews back into some areas yesterday for a spot check of the earlier work. He said a house-by-house recheck will be useless unless the people show more cooperation.

Tragedy was etched on every line ot ua-year-oia Rhee's craggy countenance as he rode through weeping, cheering thousands, from the presidential mansion to his own home. SUICIDE PACT His protege, close friend and Vice President-elect Lee Ki-Poong, was dead along with his family in a suicide pact of Oriental-style atonement for uprisings which cost at least 150 lives. It was Lee's landslide election March 15 as Vice President, in balloting marked by police coercion, which contributed the spark for the two weeks' rioting, Three army jeeps, sirens screaming, preceded Rhee'g limousine through the gate of the presidential mansion.

The motorcade rolled into the plaza in front of the Capitol, and 2,000 Koreans surged into the street. Women wept. Men cheered and clapped.

"He's a patriot now," said a student who had rioted against him. And in the crowd were placards wishing Rhee long life.

Hoffa accused court-appointed monitors today of trying to "frame" Hoffa and take control of the giant union. Attorney Jacob Kossman made the accusation in asking Federal Judge Joseph Jackson to cancel the civil trial of Hoffa on monitor charges that he misused union money. Kossman argued that the interim report containing the charges was a "fraud" on the court because it suppressed details favorable to Hoffa.

FUND DEPOSIT Hoffa is accused of depos iting $500,000 of funds belonging to Teamsters Local 299 in Detroit in a Florida bank to swing a loan for a real estate venture in which he shared an interest. Kossman said the monitors want to oust Hoffa from office and take over the Teamsters, its 1,600,000 members and its $600,000,000 in assets. "A fabulous fortune awaits them," he said. "Do they want to do it for love of the workingman or do they want to do it for power and money?" Kossman inquired. REPLY DUE Monitor lawyers were sched uled to reply later today to his arguments on a motion to block the trial.

Kossman charged that the monitors advised an Orlando, bank not to return the money to Local 299 when the union sought to withdraw last fall. "Isn't it a terrible thing to frame someone under ihe guise of law?" he asked. Hoffa denies any impropri ety in the transaction. Kossman, red -faced from his outbursts, assailed monitor Chairman Martin F. O'Donoghue and Godfrey P.

Schmidt, former monitor who Continued Page 2, Col. 2 $1 Billion Bill Voted WASHINGTON, April 28-W The House today passed a billion-dollar housing bill over determined Republican opposition. The measure sent to the Senate would provide a billion dollars to buy up Government-insured mortgages. Proponents said this would make more mortgage funds available, spur building and employment and tend to counteract forces driving interest rates upward. Opponents replied building is not hampered by any lack of funds, that the bill is inflationary and would benefit lenders and builders, but not would-be home owners.

The measure goes far beyond proposals in the housing field made earlier by President Eisenhower. Lower Left Corner The United States Govern ment deposited a $1,355,850 check with the Federal Dis trict Court today to get contm of a 20-acre West Oakland site for the giant Project Gateway postal center. The move will enable the Government to take title to 126 parcels in the 12-block site bounded by Peralta, Seventh Wood Streets and the South era Pacific railroad yards.

Pacific Alert for major pension plan changes, were sought today in new contract demands pre sented to the Key System by Carmen's Division 192. The union wants a jointly- administered pension trust, according to the outline sub mitted by president F. Vera Stambaugh. It asks that all persons now on pension receive a hike of $15 monthly and that in coming retirements there be no partial deductions in pension payments because of Social Security benefits. Now before the National Labor Relations Board is an unfair labor practices charge brought against the company by the union on the claim that Key declined to provide Division 192 with information on the present pension plan.

The company-administered plan has been in existence for more than 45. years. Stambaugh says the union proposes the company "contribute to a jointly-adminis tered pension trust an amount necessary to fund the liability on a sound actuarial basis. A number of changes in fringe benefits are included in the carmen proposals. And the union wants a one- year contract, instead of a two-year pact such as the one which expires on May 31.

The company, according to Stambaugh, has suggested no pay increases, a reduction in some vacation benefits, elimination of premium pay rates in some cases and a three-year agreement.
