PUT IT ALL TOGETHER IN AIR FORCE ROTC
WASHINGTON (AP) — South
ern and Western states accounted
for virtually all of the population
growth in the United States last
year, the government reported
Tuesday.
The shrinkage in the population
of the Northeast, meanwhile, con
tinued.
The Census Bureau’s latest state
population estimates showed the
nation’s growth rate as of last July
had slowed to seven-tenths of 1 per
cent a year, compared to a 1.1 per
cent average annual growth rate for
the previous three years since the
1970 census. The preliminary fig
ures pegged total population at
211,390,000.
Among the four U.S. geographic
areas, the South and West both
grew by 1.6 per cent in the most
recent year, while the North Cen
tral region grew only one-tenth of
one per cent. The North Central
region had been growing at a rate of
five-tenths of one per cent the pre
vious three years.
In the fourth geographic area, the
population of the Northeastern
states—New England plus New
York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania—declined by two-
tenths of one per cent, about half
the rate of decrease for the previous
year.
Six states and the District of Col
umbia showed declines in popula
tion for the most recent year.
The drop of 30,000 in Rhode Is
land to a total of 937,000 was attri
buted directly to the phasing out of
the huge Newport Naval Base. It
was the first decline since the 1970
census for Rhode Island.
Continuing steady declines since
the census were New York, which
dropped from 18.2 million to 18.1
million, and the District of Colum
bia, which fell by 11,000 to 723,000.
Illness, rain slow
state campaigning
Continuing trends initiated with
last year’s projections were Penn
sylvania, which dropped by 27,000
to 11.8 million; Ohio, which drop
ped by 6,000 to 10.7 million; Il
linois, which dropped by 45,000 to
11.1 million, and Iowa, which drop
ped by 8,000 to 2.86 million.
Florida surpassed Arizona as the
fastest growing state, jumping by
4.5 per cent in the past year to a
population of 8.1 million . Arizona,
which had been growing by an aver
age of 5.7 per cent a year since the
census, slacked off to a 3.9 per cent
growth rate.
Florida’s increase of 1.3 million
people was also the largest absolute,
increase of any state. Arizona’s total
population stands at 2.15 million.
Nevada also outpaced Arizona,
registering a 4 per cent growth rate
in the most recent year to increase
its population to 573,000.
Colorado, which had been the
fourth-fastest growing state with an
average annual growth rate of 3.9
percent in the previous three years,
dropped off to a 1.1 percent growth
rate.
California, the nation’s most
populous state, increased at a rate of
1.2 per cent, about the same as in
recent years.

A drizzle in the High Plains dam
pened Republican Jim Cranberry’s
campaign for governor Tuesday,
and Gov. Dolph Briscoe maintained
a sickbed vigil for his mother in
Uvalde.
Cranberry noted at an Abilene
news conference that Secretary of
State Mark White was subbing for
Briscoe at the meeting of the Texas
Manufacturers Association in Fort
Worth Thursday and said:
“I regret very much the illness of
Mr. Briscoe’s mother, but I believe
there should be others available to
speak for him when necessary be
cause the state’s chief elections of
ficer has no business whatsoever
being involved in partisan cam
paigns.”
Briscoe cancelled a 10-city cam
paign tour because of what his

illness of his mother, Mrs. Dolph
Briscoe Sr., 86, who was hos
pitalized.
Cranberry had to cancel a talk at
Snyder as bad weather forced his
plane to stay on the ground at Lub
bock.
Republican Nick Rowe told a
Capitol news conference that his
opponent for state comptroller, Boh
Bullock, Democrat, “has been
hanging around the Capitol for a
number of years looking for a spot to
play politics at the taxpayer’s ex
pense.”
As comptroller, Rowe said he
would ask the legislature to recon
sider a “Little Hoover Commission”
to keep tabs on state spending, a
proposed commission the legisla
ture has rejected numerous times.
“Should it again fail,” Rowe said,
“I believe it would then be the duty
of the comptroller to begin similar
studies and audits to determine if
we can better administer state
spending.”
Another Republican, Bob Holt,
candidate for state treasurer, told
campaign supporters in his
hometown of Amarillo that the re-
election of Jesse James would cost
taxpayers a minimum of $250 mill
ion.
“That’s a conservative estimate of
the difference between what we are
earning on public funds and what
we ought to he earning over a four-
year period. Holt said.
Holt said Texas was losing in
terest because public funds can be
invested only in banks—“It’s been
that way for 33 years because Jesse
James and the banks want it that
way.”
State Agriculture Commissioner
John White, a candidate for re-
election, told the Junior League of
Houston that the price of farm
equipment is soaring—by as much
as 150 per cent for fertilizer—when
the farmer’s “own sales prices are
falling.
“The American farmer is capable
of tremendous increases in produc
tion, provided he can afford to stay
in business,” White said.
15 apply
for sheriff
position
McKinney (ap) — Collin
County commissioners had 15 ap
plications Tuesday for the sheriff’s
job left empty by the resignation of
George Smith.
The commissioners named De
puty Sheriff Jerry Kunkle acting
sheriff, and County Judge W. G.
Proctor said a new sheriff could be
chosen within the week. Kunkle is
among those applying for the post.
Smith submitted his resignation
Monday in a letter that also con
tained veiled criticism of his former
chief deputy Lawrence Selman.The
letter, read in commissioners court,
said, “After you appoint a new
sheriff, I plan to make only one news
release. That release will establish
the facts which occurred prior to the
departure of Lawrence Selman from
the sheriff s department earlier this
year. I think the public should be
made aware of his activities while
serving as a deputy sheriff.’
Selman, who has applied to fill
Smith’s job, resigned as deputy over
“differences of opinion” with Smith.
He has accused Smith of being le
nient with massage parlor
operators.
Smith, who will join a Houston
security firm, became sheriff in
January 1973. He told the commis
sioners his decision to resign had
been “under consideration for a
considerable length of time.” '
Judge Proctor said courthouse
rumors led 15 persons to submit ap
plications for the sheriff s job in re
cent weeks.
Smith was the subject of a grand
jury investigation earlier this year
but no indictments were issued.
