AUSTIN — Texas govern-
nent would continue to f'unc-
ion in the event of a nuclear
ittack if voters adopt a consti-
utional amendment granting
mergency powers to the Leg-
slature and governor, said
upporters of a proposal ten-
atively approved by the
douse in one of several legis-
ative moves Wednesday.
Rep. Bill Hollowed, the
■ 4 ipJBP onsor t ^ ie P ro P ose d con-
^ titutional amendment, said
he measure would enable
Texas to “remain free” in case
if nuclear attack.
But opponents warned the
proposal could give the gov
ernor and legislators danger
ous and unprecedented
powers.
The amendment, which
tentatively was approved
Tuesday on a 119-17 vote,
would allow the Legislature to
replace members incapaci
tated by enemy attack. The
governor would be autho
rized to suspend certain con
stitutional requirements in
case of an attack or “immedi
ate threat” of attack.
The amendment also
would allow the governor to
convene the Legislature at a
secret location outside Austin
and permit legislators to sus
pend constitutional rules of
legislative procedure for up to
two years.
Rep. Debra Danburg, D-
Houston, questioned whether
the continuation of the Legisl
ature would be a prime con
cern in the event of nuclear
war.
In other action Tuesday,
the House formally approved
a bill to prohibit full-time,
salaried judges of state courts
of record from accepting
donations or charging fees for
marriages they perform dur
ing business hours in a county
courthouse.
South’s gain is confirmed
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
South gained nearly 2 million
people as a result of migration
from 1975-80, with most of the
new residents leaving the in
dustrial north for a new life in
the Sunbelt.
A Census Bureau report re
leased Tuesday shows 4.7 mil
lion Americans moved to the
South in the late 1970s. Mean
while, 2.7 million people moved
out of the South to other re
gions. The net gain of nearly 2
million was unsurpassed by any
other region, exceeding the
West by 900,000.
A majority of the new South
erners — 3.2 million of them —
moved into the south Atlantic
states, and more than half of
those, 1.8 million, became Flori
dians.
Some 364,450 of those came
to Florida from New York.
Another 134,150 moved from
New Jersey and 135,219 pre
viously hailed from Ohio.
Georgia and Tennessee are
the only other Southeastern
states with a net gain of more
than 100,000 people.
Some 581,553 moved to
Georgia — most of them from
other Southern states, while
450,430 moved out.
Tennessee took in 450,858
newcomers, and 347,872 Ten
nesseans relocated.
In the Southwest, Texas
gained 574,007 people over the
Five years, taking in 1.4 million
while more than 800,000 left.
More than 80,000 New Yor
kers made the Lone Star State
their new home, as did 77,000
from Illinois and 61,000 from
Ohio. Ironically, 81,000 Flori-
dians bucked the trend, moving
to Texas, as did 86,000 former
residents of Louisiana and
75,000 ex-Oklahomans.
Oklahoma was the only other
Southwestern state to record a
large net gain as a result of mig
ration, a total of 116,818.
Only two south Atlantic states
— Delaware and Maryland —
suffered losses in population
due to migration, as did the Dis
trict of Columbia
Virginia, West Virginia and
the Carolinas all recorded net
increases, though West Virgi
nia’s was just 5,289.
Of the four-state census re
gion that includes Kentucky,
Alabama, Tennessee and Missis
sippi, only Mississippi suffered a
loss, a decrease of 2,210 people.
Arkansas and Louisiana en
joyed migration-based popula
tion increases, but they were not
nearly as large as neighboring
Texas and Oklahoma.
Overall, nearly half of all
Americans 5 or older — almost
94 million in all — moved dur
ing the period.
