Severe problem of over population confronts world
A United States senator warmeo today that the spiraling population growth is the most serious problem facing the world in this generation.
If the U.S. population continues to escalate at its present rate, "we might as well forget about finding solutions to any of our other social and environmental problems," said Sen. Gaylord Nelson, democrat of Wisconsin.
Nelson, while making a 17 stop Earth Day teach-in tour, spoke at Southern Connecticut State College in New Haven.
Nelson said the population problem is more critical in America than in Asia because the average American is more destructive to his environment than the average non-American.
He added that Americans have consumed more minerals and fuels in the last ten years than the entire population of the earth in recorded history.
Nelson said Americans comprise only 6 per cent of the world's population, but are responsible for almost one half of the world's pollution and consume 60 per cent of the world's resources.
Olathe air station to be industry site
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. James B. Pearson, R-Kan., said Wednesday Johnson County officials plan to develop the Olathe Naval Air Station into an industrial site and use present structures for a school, storage and office purposes.
Pearson, who met earlier this week with Navy officials and representatives of the Johnson County Airort Commission, said the transfer of the base to the county would take about 90 days.
Arizona has a total area of 113,909 square miles.

May 10th A Mother's Day gift that says "married"?
Very funny.
Uh, uh. Very serious and very loving. You see, while ring fashions don't change every season, they do change. And your wife knows it. In fact, she'd probably tell you a new wedding ring wouldn't be a bad idea. If she wasn't afraid you'd say "Very funny." This could be a great opportunity to convince her you really are a mind reader. And to see some happy bride-like tears again.
