18A FRIDAY, MARCH 2. 1990 dEATUSARK-LA-TES THE TIMES MID ANNOUNCEMENTS can't find enough appl cants for census-taking HOUSTON (AP) Local U.S. Census Bureau officials say they can't count on a big pool of census- takers when the 1990 Census starts next month. "We won't feel really safe unless we have about 16,000 potential workers in our computer files to call on if we need to," said Elizabeth Kuchta, recruiting operations supervisor for the local Census Bureau. But as of Wednesday, census officials had less than half the total workers who must be ready to go by the end of the month.

And of those who have applied, history shows that many will drop out, for a variety of reasons. "We need to have at least 4,200 interviewed, tested, hired and ready to send into the field by the end of the month," Ms. Kuchta said. "But our phone lines are practically We're getting worried," she added. At the base of the personnel pyramid are the census takers, the people who knock on the.

doors of those whp don't return their mailed questionnaires. Questionnaires should be arriving annually in federal a'id, $64 million I is based on population. Census figures are used in formulas that transfer $35 billion a year from the federal government to the states and about the same amount from states to dities. City officials estimate the city could lose $25 million (o $30 million over the next 10 yeans if it suffers the same percentage of under-counting it did in 1980. Census, officials believe many potential workers may be intimidated by the required qualifications, which include a reading and basic math test.

"But it is really a very simple test," Ms. Kuchta said. "We just want to make sure that they can read, write, follow instructions and deal with numbers. We do need to have it Changing times is another reason given for the lack of applicants. "The housewives who were out there 10 and 20 years ago during the last census are just not there for us to hire anymore," Ms.

Kuchta said. "They are Working already, or their lives have gotten too complicated to add anything else." Mr. Harold Gene Stough, Sr. SHREVEPORT, LA Services for Mr. Harold Gene Stough, 61, will be held at 2:30 p.m.

The Census Bureau admits previous counts missed 4.5 percent of the population of heavily minority cities and 5 percent to 6 percent of the black and Hispanic population. But minority leaders believe the undercounts were far higher, up to 20 percent of young black males and 10 percent of all Hispanics.

A lesser count could be a blow to city and state coffers.

Services are pending at Rose-Neath Funeral Home of Homer. CARVILLE (AP) About a third of the 185 patients at the national center for the treatment of Hansen's disease, or leprosy, have demanded the firing of the center's director, claiming he did not tell them of plans to convert the facility into a federal prison. The 65 patients also want $1,500 payments to those forced to move by the proposed change. The Patients' Federation decided in a Wednesday meeting to circulate petitions opposing the transfer. U.S.

Rep. Clyde Holloway, announced. last week that negotiations between the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons concerning the transfer would conclude this week.

John Duffy, director of the center, said Wednesday there is no deadline for an end to the negotiations. The center is the last remaining U.S. Public Health Service hospital in the country and the only hospital in the continental United States for the treatment and research of Hansen's disease. Under the proposal, most patients at Carville would be moved to Baton Rouge along with all the research operations, acute care hospital, and rehabilitation center. Only a small nursing facility for long-term care, mostly elderly, patients will remain at the spacious, tree-lined, 340-acre complex in Carville.

John "Jack" Pendleton, president of the Patients' Federation, said the group's list of demands will be presented to Dr. Richard Harmon, the new administrator of the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, when he visits the facility today. The patients' biggest complaint is that JMfy kept them in the dark about the. facility's change.

Duffy said he met with patients in January and -told thfem about the negotiations One patient said Duffy' keeps. thenyin a state of being constantly ihd in a constant turmoil." "He is pushing us in the corner and saying we don't need you lepers any more," said Rachal Pendleton of the Patients Federation.

"We're going to use and are using that equipment for not only displaced workers and job training, but literacy. And the (federal) Department of Labor likes that because that means more employ-ment'for our people, and that's what the department is all about." Mouton, whose department approved the original grant proposal, said she wants to continue operating the LRDC as a JTPA-funded operation, but Director Bill Long has hinted that he would rather not reapply for JTPA funds because the tiH rnuciii nume use of federally funded equipment inhibits its potential. The center operates in conjunction with NSU's school of business and leases office space frontfhe university.

But NSU President and LRDC board member Robert Alost said this week that the university could not afford to purchase thp equipment. The non-compliance was determined after federal auditors visited Louisiana in December to examine LRDC's books. Long maintains that his operation is above-board and following its original grant proposal. The examiners' initial responses were favorable, the non-compliance was not determined until the information was taken to Washington, D.C. As part of the original grant, the LRDC promised to place at least 175 workers by but none had been placed until December, when the program came under federal scrutiny.

Since then, more than 50 workers have been trained for jobs at Con Agra a poultry-processing and more than 100 unemployed have attended a computer literacy course.
