Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady is on an 18,500-mile odyssey that has taken him from Europe to Asia in search of economic assis- tance, while Secretary of State James Baker III launched his own Middle ,*ast fund-raising mission yesterday, in the Saudi Arabian capital of Jid- dah.

"In that changed world, we Americans have a right to expect that the burdens will be shared more appropriately." Both the Brady and Baker mis- sions were designed as highly visible campaigns to demonstrate that the allies are a united force, thus raising the stakes considerably if there is a perceived failure. Michiga DETROIT (AP) - Detroit pre- %ared a challenge of U.S. Census figures that showed it dropping be- low the magic million mark in pop- ulation, while other Michigan cities put finishing touches on similar re- ports yesterday.; Flint said a 12.9 percent popula- tion indicated by its preliminary count was greatly exaggerated, and Jackson-area officials pored over erial photos as local governments put finishing touches on challenges they must mail by Monday.

Detroit officials already have re- ceived 5,000 more census forms since their preliminary figures ar- rived; "and they're coming in every day," said Juliette Okotie-Eboh, co- ordinating Detroit's census activities. Preliminary figures put the city's population at 970,156, just over half its population peak of 1.85 million in 1950 and down 19 percent from 1980. Failure to regain the million mark would cost the city millions in tax revenue and state and federal aid.
