According to the CDC’s Vital Statistics Report for 1961 (p. 157), Hawaii had a total of 17,578 births in 1961

Note the difference between column 1 & 2
Honolulu county:
1 - 14,874 total births by county of occurrence

2 - 14,906 total births

3 - 14,814 physician in hospital

4 - 92 attendant not in hospital and not specified/recorded

see also page 103

again, this is only 50% of the totals for 1961: Data refer only to births occurring within the United States. Based on a 50-percent sample.

They take the data from all the even-numbered records and multiply it by 2 to get the totals. So the totals represent what they assume to be the total numbers without them having to enter all the data from every record.

Later on in the tables of data they show that in Honolulu there were 2 non-white babies born which didn’t have a birthweight recorded. They say there were 2 because they had one, with an even-numbered record, which had that situation. They assumed that if there was an even-numbered one there must also be an odd-numbered one so they put the total as 2. All the totals are even numbers because of the way they processed the records using a 50% sampling.

There are 32 less births recorded for the overall total. This difference is common among all states, so could it be possible that the difference was that the 32 births were children born to foreigners and thus were not included in the overall census totals as aliens would not be included?

This would also be in adherence to what I found in the 1965 Immigration & Nationality Act wherein the citizenship of alien children born in the US to alien parents was charged back to the number of immigrants allotted for the parents country of origin. Thew only part of the Act that changed in 1965 was the numbers allotted. You know that racial equality thangy.
