Washington reports a government population study showing Americans left urban centers for rural areas since 1970. Beale of the Agriculture Department notes nonmetro counties grew 4.2 percent from 1970 to 1973 versus 2.9 percent in metro counties, citing retirement towns, rural colleges, decentralization of manufacturing, and leisure growth as key factors.
Washington UPI reports Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor says a strike this year is unlikely but a slowdown by postal workers to pressure wage demands is possible.

Bailor discusses revenue needs and the likelihood of tough talks continuing.
