United Press International DALLAS — The U.S. Census Bureau has issued a new report that gives all kinds of informa tion on Greek, Polish and Chinese speakers in Texas, but it lumps the Czechs in the “other unspecified” group, which has drawn protests — in English — from this cohesive minority. “Whoever did that just doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing,” said Nick Morris, president of the 60,000-member SPJST (Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texas), a state wide Czech organization. “We’ve said for years that Czech is the third most spoken language in Texas, behind En glish and Spanish,” Morris said. “No doubt about it. That state ment has never been chal lenged.” The Census Bureau says the information is buried in miles of computer tape in a repository here at Texas A&M. The language and ethnic data is contained in the two- volume General Economic and Social Characteristics report for Texas, based on data gathered in the 1980 census. The report gives a 23-page breakdown on ancestry and language groups. The SPJST maintains its offices in a big stone and glass headquarters the group built eight years ago at Temple, heart of Czech Country. The building also contains an extensive Czech library and a museum of pioneer Czech artifacts. The Czechs moved to Texas in a steady trickle until the late 19th century, when the rise of Bismarck’s Germany sent con vulsions through Europe and waves of Czechs into Texas, where they settled north of the Germans and Austrians who had come before, Morris said. It was about that time polka rhythms showed up in northern Mexican music and Texans started discovering kolaces for breakfast. It was also about that time that it was possible to conduct a day’s business in Czech in central Texas, a linguistic legacy that has left traces of soft Central European inflection around En nis, Rogers and Temple, as well as Ratibor and Zabcikville. “The Czech we speak is not the so-called literary Czech, which is Slovenian,” Morris said. “It comes from Moravia, the central province, and they are a very agrarian prople.” Having said all that, the U.S. Census Bureau explains that the exclusion of the Czechs from its published reports was neither deliberate nor total. “Apparently the numbers we ren’t large enough to be in cluded in the report,” said bureau spokesman A1 Mirabal in Dallas. “Basically, the principle is that only 10 percent of the data off the tapes is printed.” In the “ancestry” category, Mirabal said bureau policy re quires that the census track six ethnic groups: English, French, German, Irish, Italian and Pol ish. Each state may then add others. The census report lists, for example, 3,401 Texans of Por tuguese extraction and 3,961 Ukranians, but lumps the Czechs into the 4.38 million “other,” including the state’s His panics and blacks, who also appear in detailed tables of their own. In Texas, the census finds 7.8 million English-speaking adults, 1.7 million speaking Spanish at home, 75,463 speaking Ger man, 41,451 speaking French, 18,094 speaking Chinese, 9,702 speaking Italian, 8,307 speaking Philippine languages and 5,489 speaking Greek. The Czechs apparently fall into a crack formed by 122,878 “other specified” languages. erf fajmetk exu_ e>fcoov^ erf eeUTUR.’Y lfc> AT 'l.'OOpm AUL- Service <^OOOt> IsJlUU &B COLLECT&O f'GfZ* A The will provided that her mother, Florence Savitch of 407 N.
