Texas crime and economy show mixed gains in 1962 report
FBI data for the first quarter of 1962 show major crimes down 6.7 percent in the 12 largest Texas cities, while national figures in similar cities rose 1 percent. Texas unemployment eased to 4.3 percent in April, factory wages rose to 96.10 weekly, oil workers averaged 132.07 weekly, and over 3.6 million Texans worked outside agriculture as new colleges expand state education. Water supplies fell to 76 percent capacity as May rains lagged, brucellosis rules eased for livestock traders, and Texas Education Commission chair Dr. Ralph Green urged limiting new four year state colleges as 20 campuses exist already.
