LA Population Slowdown

LOS ANGELES (JTA)—The ex-
plosive growth in the Jewish popu-
lation of Los Angeles County of the
1940s and early 1950s is declining,
and the decline is likely to continue
because of a lower rate of out-of-
town arrivals and a slowing in the
Jewish birthrate.
These data have ben reported by
Fred Massarik, director of the re-
search service bureau of the Jew-
ish Federation-Council, and scien-
tific director of the National Jewish
