(Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) MOSCOW, January 15.
A census of the amazing patchwork of the Soviet races, covering oneseventh of the earth's surface, which is believed to number approximately 170,000.000 fixed for January 18, has already begun in remote regions, where residents resent the numbering. Officials using horses, reindeer teams and sledges are chasing nomads on the Siberian steppes, and the frozen tundras of the Far North, even jumping ice floes in pursuit of Samoyeds, first cousins of the Eskimos. Already two tribes of Chukchi Indians have been discovered in the extreme north-east.
