That chart is not from 1961. I believe it is from 1968. Those were the codes in the FEDERAL manual, not the local manual. The penciled codes were placed on the BCs before they were microfilmed and sent to the feds. The feds then looked at specific info, and used their own codes for stats.
Here is some info:http://myveryownpointofview.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/did-corsi-lie-to-zullo-a-real-1961-vital-statistics-instruction-manual/
Some think the fact that this particular manual was a revised version makes it void for this discussion.
The Daily Pen NEVER provided any “proof” that the local level codes used were the same as the federal codes, in fact, they put this chart out and implied that it was the one in use in 1961 - never provided any proof of that either. Trust me, I tried to get info out of them about the chart.
