U. S. Child Population Rises; Orphans Drop NEW The number of orphans in the United States dropped from 6,400,000 in 1920 to 2,700,000 at the start of 1958, even though the child population climbed from .39,000,000 to 60,000,000 during that time. Also noted during the period was a 93 per cent decline in the number of children with both parents dead. Less than one out of every 1,000 American children today is a full orphan that is, one with both parents dead.

in Milwaukee. NORTH CENTRAL OPEN Paul Benko, who succeeded in his second attempt to escape from Communist Hungary, walked away from the field of 88 in the North Central Open last weekend in Milwaukee. He gave up only a harmless draw in the last round (in a won game), after the first prize of $250 was assured. Theodorovitch and Tautvaisas tied for second and third, while last year's winner, Stephan Popel of Detroit, was fourth. Rabion Kirby of Chicago finished fifth and took the junior title for the second time.

Benko's victory was hardly surprising in light of his performance in the World zonal tournament last August Pqtorbz, Yugoslavia, where the finished third behind Tahl Petfosian of Russia, ahead of Fisher, Bronstein, Keres. Benko and Fischer will represent the U.
