WASHINGTON — In the last
quarter of the century, the South
and the West will grow so much fas
ter than the North and Midwest that
New York may lose four congres
sional seats and Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Illinois two each, the Census
Bureau said Thursday.
Should recent migration and fer
tility and mortality trends continue,
the bureau said, states in the boom
ing South and West will grow at
more than twice the rate of their
northern neighbors.
In its first projections of states’
census since 1972, the bureau said it
generally appears Florida, Arizona,
Nevada and Colorado will be the
fastest growing states, while the
District of Columbia, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and the
Dakotas would be slowest growing.
The report provides three
projections for each state. The first
assumes interstate migration will
continue to reflect the trends in
population from 1965-75, the sec
ond is based on the period from
1970-75.
A third forecast presumes no net
interstate migration from 1975-
2000. Dr. John Long, chief de
mographer for the population
projections branch, said the sepa
rate projections are needed because
growth trends differed substantially
in 1965-75 versus 1970-75.
During the latter period. Long
said, “metropolitan areas grew
much more quickly than they had
before.

“In fact, in many cases, they went
from decline to growth,” he said,
adding that the result is a “fairly
large amount of difference” in the
three sets of projections and the
Census Bureau has no way of know
ing which trend will prevail.
If the 1965-75 forecasts hold true,
the bureau said, Florida could pick
up three extra congressional seats
by the turn of the century, while
Texas would gain two new seats and
California, Arizona, Maryland, Ore
gon, Utah and Tennessee one each.
States losing in the congressional
numbers game under 1965-70
projections, the bureau said, in
clude New York, four; Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Illinois, two each;
and South Dakota, one.
If the population shifts follow the
1970-75 trends, the bureau said,
Florida could gain four seats instead
of three and Colorado would gain
two instead of one. Michigan and
Missouri each would drop a seat.

New dollar coin to replace
old faithful paper ‘George
United Press International
DENVER — U.S. Mint Director
Stella B. Hackel understands that
Americans do not want to carry
bulky silver dollars in their pockets,
but she hopes they will change their
attitude when the new dollar coin
goes into circulation next year.
A half billion of the coins bearing
the image of American suffragette,
Susan B. Anthony on one side and
an Apollo 11 Eagle on the other,
should be ready for the public by
the first week of July 1979. If they
become popular — as Mrs. Hackel
hopes they do — they could save
the government millions of dollars.
At a news conference Wednes
day, Mrs. Hackel displayed an
enlarged likeness of the new coin
and announced the plan to have it in
production early next year. None of
the coins will be released until 500
million are minted to prevent col
lectors from hoarding them.
Mrs. Hackel said she and other
federal officials will make a major ef
fort to have people accept the coins
because they think it is important.
Without such action, consumers
might continue using dollar bills be
cause “people don’t like to change
their habits,” she said.
The coins actually should be a lot
easier for Americans to use, Mrs.
Hackel said. They will not wear out
as fast as dollar bills, should be easy
to carry since they are only slightly

NAIROBI, Kenya — Uganda’s
President Idi Amin Thursday said
he is bn the verge of retaliating
against a U.S. trade embargo by tak

300 Americans who live in his coun

Amin’s threat, broadcast by Radio

the dictator contemplated.
The U.S. congressmen who spon
sored the trade embargo said their
action also was retaliation, against
