AUSTIN (AP) - Hockley
County’s population increased
by m estimated 1,747 during
I960 - 63 according to figures
released Wednesday by the Tex.
as Bureau <rf Business Research.
The April 1963, Hockley po-
pulation was 24,607 compared
to the 1966 census figure of 22,-
340.
In population estimates for
metropolitan areas Lubbock’s
figure was set at 171,071 one
year ago. The same figure
was used for die county.
--Population in the 26 largest
cities topped the state growth
average, increasing 12 per cent
annually to total 6418,596, the
bureau said. Its findings will
, appear in the next iasua at Ha
monthly publication.
Amarillo showed the largest
percentage gain, 34 per cent
Austin and Dallas both in-
creased 3.3 per cent annually;
Lubbock, 3 per cent and Wichita
rails, 2.9 per cent. Losses were
shown for the Rio Grande Val-
ley, 1.1 per cent; and OdBtef^
14 per cent annually.
In making the county
mates, the bureau used three
"of estimation in order
dMST ■
aspects. However, the bureau
said that a so-called method 1,.
file one used in 1961 and 1962,
was more reliable In most cases
than the other two methods.
Under method 1, the estimated
current population is based on
a formula of adding the 1960
population to the increase or de-
crease of scholastics, adjusted
by migration ratios, then ad-
ding resident births for the past
three years minus the resident
deaths.

AYLESBURY. England (AP)
—A jury found nine men guilty
today on charge* of taking part
in Britain’s great train robbery
—the theft of 17445,000 from
the Glasgow-Landon mail train
last Aug. 8.
A 10th man was found guilty
of conspiring to obstruct the
course of justice/
Judge Edmund Davies said he
would defer sentencing the con-

Miller said Fulbright’s re-
mark*—a 70-minute speech ti-
tled “Old Myths and New Re-
alities” delivered to an almost
empty Senate chamber—set the
stage for the foreign policy de-
bate in the 1964 campaign.

only to disaster for the United
States and other free nations,
said Miller, a New York con-
gressman.
White House sources described
Fulbright’s speech as very in-
teresting and with many items
worthy of consideration. The
sources said Fulbright had not
discussed it in advance with any
member of the administration
and that “specifically on Cuba
and Panama it does not repre-
sent the policy of the ad-
ministration.”
Miller said the real myths in
Fulbright’s speech were his as-
sumptions that the Soviet Union
has “drawn back" from aggres-
sive policies, that “the nature of
the Chinese Communist threat”
has changed and that more
trade with Communist nations
will “strengthen the foundations
of peace.”

snatch, the largest cash robbery
in the annals of world crime.
The eight awaiting trial — In-
cluding three women — were
granted separate trials when the
case was brought to court in
January. Another defendant
pleaded guilty and still another
got a directed verdict of acquit-
tal during the trial.
The police have so far recov-
ered only 258,(iOO pounds ($722
> 400) of the loot and are still
looking for the gang’s master
minds, who are believed to be
to possession of the balance.
The haul was made in a com-
mando-like raid on the London-
bound mail train after it was
stopped by a false red signal at
a hamlet near Aylesbury
Most of the money was to five

from banks in Scotland to banks
to the British capital.
The trial began Jan. 20 and
lasted nine weeks, an unusua
length for a British criminal
trial. Judge Davies took five
