Page 8/The Battalion/Monday, April 20, 1987 World and Nation Scientist urges action to combat growth rate Population could reach 6.2 billion by 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) — More than a billion more people are ex pected on Earth in the coming de cade, an increase that could pose cat astrophic consequences unless action is taken to reduce births, a leading population researcher warns. “If we don’t come to grips with this problem we’ll face a world in turmoil,” said Werner Fornos, presi dent of The Population Institute, in issuing a “Blueprint for World Pop ulation Stabilization.” His warning comes soon after a separate group, the Population Ref erence Bureau, reported that world wide births have begun increasing again after a brief period of decline. Fornos’ study was released Sun day to mark the start of World Pop ulation Awareness Week, an effort to bring the problem to public atten tion. While birth rates have fallen in the more industrial, wealthier coun tries, rapid growth continues in poorer nations least able to contend with explosive increases, Fornos said at a news conference. “This is not a liberal or a conserva tive cause, it is not a Democratic or a Republican cause, it’s a humanita rian cause,” he said. It took until 1830 for the popula tion to reach 1 billion, Fornos ex plained. By 1930, that doubled to 2 billion. The third billion was added in 30 years, by 19(30, and the 1 bil lion mark was reached in 19713. Now the total is 5 billion and the next bil lion could arrive in nine years, he warned, with the world’s population growing to 6.2 billion by the year 2000. Just last year, the world’s popula tion grew by 87 million, Fornos said. This escalating |>opulation threat ens the world in many ways. Human demands result in destruction of for est for firewood, increases of deserts by damaging farmland, creation of environmental hazards ranging from acid rain to atmospheric dis ruption and destruction of habitats for plants and animals, Fornos said. The current annual |>opulatioti growth is equivalent to adding 16 countries the size of FI Salvador, ex plained the presidentolitieptj] non-profit population rests group.

Merchants begin work in Richmond as flooding ends Senator: Sua shouldn't be 'spectator spoils RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The James River began slowly receding Sunday after inundating 1 ‘/a square miles of the city at nearly 16 feet above flood stage, and merchants were allowed back into a low-lying area of restored downtown busi nesses. Officials credited a network of huge pumps with helping prevent water damage beyond the commer cial area. “It’s been a moderate flood,” Wil liam W. Costin, chief of emergency communications for the Department of Public Safety, said as city workers started clearing away the debris. Costin said damage can’t be esti mated until the water fully recedes. The James River surged over its banks in many areas of the state af ter a three-day storm brought 3.36 inches of rain to Richmond and more than 4 inches to parts of west ern Virginia. One boy drowned and one woman was missing elsewhere in the state. Many rural roads had been blocked by water. When the water began to rise Thursday, many merchants moved their goods out of businesses in Shockoe Bottom, a low-lying section on the river’s north side where old factory buildings are being reno vated into nightclubs, restaurants and shops. When the river crested at 24.91 feet at 3 a.m. CST Sunday, water was about 4 feet deep in parts of the Shockoe Bottom area. The water began dropping slowly about 7:30 a.m. and the National Weather Service predicted the river would return below its 9-foot I1<mx1 stage late Monday. Merchants were allowed hack into Sh ockoe Bottom as the flood ebbed Sunday. Workers filled bins with de bris and used sweepers and fire hoses to clean streets and buildings. Costin said a network of large pumps installed in Shockoe Bottom several years ago to pull water out of the area and direct it to a point downstream of the city kept water from hacking up into the sewer sys tem and causing worse flooding. City Manager Robert C. Boob de clared a state of emergency Friday. About 150 National Guardsmen were called in to help police with se curity and traffic control and about 1,000 city employees were kept on call through the weekend. No inju ries or arrests were reported. :inc Be. an WASHINGTON (AF -if 1 vt ‘ h , publicans, rather than wB IU i . „ ton and budget-writing as -lx>n. should join wiihDo*, cats in the Senate towilt* Dor . 1 >">« pl‘"L 'hen- Franll* ()( iri\ A: tenlierg, D-N.J., said Saw My regret is thatOTlt^h^ can colleagues have sidelines while we’i homer In Jowei mu budget plan buifnb | onu , r (( member of the BudgeiUE® tee, said in the DemocraikkJ weekly radio address.

(AP) — Fifty feet away, John Roy saw a swirl in the marsh water. The fish flip-flop ped playfully and slowly made its way toward the shore. Roy, an avid fisherman, did not have a rod and reel in his hands. He had a gun. When the fish swam to within 15 feet, he fired his rifle. The water roiled and became still, but no fish was in sight. Roy had missed. Vermont is the only state in the nation that allows the shooting of fish. But the state Fish and Wildlife Department strongly opposes the practice, and for the second time in a decade officials are pushing legis lation to ban it. The bill is in the House Fish and Wildlife Committee. State officials say it is an anachro nism among the hundreds of hunt ing and fishing rules; it is dangerous because bullets can ricochet off the water; it contradicts teaching in hunting safety courses never to shoot into water; and, since the fish are shot in spawning grounds on tributaries of Lake Champlain, it kills too many fish. Hunters don’t shoot at the fish, but under them. T he force of the shot causes a concussion and often bursts the fish’s air bladder, which makes it float. One well-placed shot can kill several fish at a time. “It’s truly an activity that has out lived its usefulness,” said Angelo In- cerpi, director of fisheries for the Fish and Wildlife Department. “In the old days, they were doing it for a food source. Right now it’s a sport and I think it’s time to change.” State law allows the shooting and spearing of northern pike.pil bowfln, gar, mullet,shad,c ers and other cull fish ini 1 (lhamplain and its mbmariaii a five-week period in-thespr license is needed to shoot lish For the several hu monters who shoot fish, tki| a tradition.

Whitman intends to transplant a tragic piece of seafaring history. “I think the world’s finally realiz ing that the Titanic’s one of a kind,” Whitman said recently as he walked around his almost-completed Ti tanic Memorial Museum. It opened March 8, one month shy of the 75th anniversary of the sinking of the British luxury ship in which more than 1,500 people died. He strolled among the movie posters, diagrams of the ship’s rig ging and models of what, at the time, was the world’s largest man-made moving object. Whitman has enough memorabi lia to fill five rooms in the back of his Artists Cove Institute, a private school he has operated since 1971. Whitman has no estimate on what his collection is worth, but says he re cently paid between $5,000 and $10,000 for the rigging diagrams. He says that on the same trip to En gland he offered $9,200 to a private collector for a Titanic deck chair that eventually sold for $ 16,400. He says he is waiting for a ship ment of 77 original photographs, a wooden ring from a barometer left behind when the Titanic sailed and some of the final payroll receipts White Star Lines paid to surviving relatives of the Titanic’s crew. He notes inconsistent'| ports and believes thereisat* 11 of the wreck’s conditiontoW Titanic from being raised./ him at odds with the Titanic^ cal Society in IndianOrchaia" and with Congress, which^ wreckage left more than/ under water as a memorial. A visitor to Whitmans sees walls filled with p# scenes from the movies ’ “Raise the Titanic” and Remember.” Whitman ran four videotape re corders on news programs last sum mer and in 1985 to capture all the footage from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute expedition that found the ship. A downstairs room is fit ' murals Whitman has [ stairs are models and dr#' the ship and maps of i from which it sailed. In on/ Whitman is working on J scale model of the Titanic.
