Sheriffs told crime is paying too often in Texas
Odessa AP report quotes Col. Wilson Speir of the Texas Department of Public Safety saying crime pays for criminals. He cites at least one serious crime per minute, a 110 percent rise in robberies from 1969 to 1974, and only 18 percent clearance by arrests. He notes increases across murder, rape, burglary, theft, and auto theft. He links crime to the economy and criticizes a congressional bill to seal criminal history files.

Eviction of Striking Farm Worker Families in Pecos
A UFW spokesman in Pecos says 24 farm workers and their families were evicted from Pecos housing after the grower said they quit working and needed the units for new harvest workers. The farmer paid rent through Aug 1 and claimed sole authority over who lives there. Two anonymous bomb threats were received by the union but did not materialize. The UFW vows to continue organizing in Texas Reeves and Pecos counties, despite perceived law enforcement pressure, as pickets line Reeves County farms near Verhalen and Cottonwood Farms. In five days of demonstrations, 41 pickets were taken into custody, including juveniles. 19 people faced criminal trespass charges in Reeves County, with further arrests in Pecos and Pecos County.
