WASHINGTON <A>)_-The Cen
sus Bureau Monday set the na
tion’s population at 204.7 million
in a final official count which
gives California five new House
seats and the title of the most-
populous state.
For the first time, the census
included 1.5 million Americans
living overseas as servicemen or
federal employes, and their de
pendents. They were appor
tioned among the state to help
figure representation in the U.S.
House of Representatives. Amer-

“This is the most accurate cen
sus ever taken,” the Secretary of
Commerce Maurice H. Stans said
after he and census officials sub
mitted their final report to Pres
ident Nixon on a day before it
was due.
While California was the big
gainer, New York and Pennsyl
vania each lost two House seats.
Florida picked up three seats in
the 435-member chamber.
Arizona, Colorado and Texas
each gained one House seat,
while Alabama, Iowa, North Da
kota, Ohio, Tennessee, West Vir
ginia and Wisconsin each lost
one.
The total population, including
those living overseas, was 204,-
765,770 as of April 1, when the
census was taken. Excluding
servicemen and federal workers
living abroad, the population was
203,184,772.
However, it added, the gain
was 13.3 per cent, the second-
lowest rate of any decade in his
tory. The lowest came in the
1930s when the nation was in the
throes of the depression.
California picked up 4.2 million
people, giving it a total popula
tion of 20,098,863. New York,
the largest state in 1960, gained
1.4 million while dropping to sec
ond place at 18,287,529.
Florida had an additional 1.8
million people over 1960 and
Texas 1.6 million. The fastest-
growing state was Nevada, with
a gain of 71.3 per cent.

Amigos program
planned for Bryan
LARRY GAYLE of Navasota, left, a student in A&M’s Institute of Electronic Sci
ence, and Chief Instructor Arlie Patton look over the Texas Instruments Series 9000 Dig
ital Seismic Field System donated to the institute by Geophysical Service Inc., a subsidi
ary of Texas Instruments. The five-year-old equipment will be used in the institute’s
electronic technology teaching program at the Research Annex.
Guy Bevil, national executive
director of Amigos de las Ameri
cas, will bring the Amigos pro
gram to Bryan-College Station
residents and students at 7:30
p.m. Monday in the City National
Bank Meeting Room in Bryan.
Bevil will explain how local
residents 16 years old and older
can work with the Amigos pro
gram in four Latin American
countries. Three three-week
terms are scheduled for the Sum
mer of 1971.
Young people in high school or
college are especially invited to
the Bryan meeting, according to
Bob Pettit, acting chairman of
the A&M campus training group.
A 30-minute movie on the
Amigos organization will be
shown and Bevil will outline re
quirements. Five Texas A&M
students will give summaries of
their activities during the 1970
Summer in Columbia, Guatemala,
Honduras and Nicaragua.
Pettit served in Columbia, Don
Stevens was in Nacaragua and
Rodney Nairn, John Cowsar and
Tom Autrey all were in Guate
mala.
Coordinator for the Bryan-Col-
lege Station area is Col. G. E.
Mayeux of A&M’s Foreign Lan
guages Department.
Pettit pointed out the total
cost per volunteer is $500, with
the volunteer required to pay
$175 and the remainder donated
by community organizations or
individuals.
A three to four-month training
period will begin soon, he said.
