Four of the seven building trades unions on strike reached tentative agreement on new contracts.

There was uncertainty, though, as to whether those workers will be able to go back to their jobs. The Associated General Contractors employer group has locked out the unions statewide and a spokesman said that status would be maintained until all unions settle. And the strike by pilots against Northwest Airlines, appeared heading toward an end, with settlement over the weekend of differences on pensions, a major issue. Earlier in the week the company cut its work force from 10,600 to 1,500. The strike is the second in as many years to shut down the Twin Cities-based airline.

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (LPI) The world population will double by the year 2000 if Its annual 2 percent increase rate is maintained, according to the United Natiom statistical yearbook. The book said that at its current growth rate, the world's population increased by about 72 million last year and will grow another 73 million this year. That would put the world's population by the end of this year at 3.7 billion.

By the year 2880, the book aild, the population will be about 7.4 billion at the current rate of growth. The figures on population growth were among most of the developing countries averaged higher. The Scandinavian countries were lowest in population growth with per 'cent says, the world population increased 22 percent.

A Metropolitan Council committee recommended that the Twin Cities and their suburbs put together a "Super Bus" system soon. It would be part of a long-range transportation plan for the metro area. But will people ride buses? A survey by The Minneapolis Star of the zippy minibuses downtown indicated that while many people think they're great, few ride them, although the fare is cheaper than a cup of coffee. The minibuses (called QTs for Quick Transit) lost $50,000 their first year and probably will go in the red $40,000 this year And a check of the QTs parent, the Metropolitan Transit Commission, showed that only one commission member rides the bus to work regularly The traditional orange school bus is going to turn yellow.

The federal Department of Transportation has ordered the change in colors because, it says, yellow affects drivers more. "MY GOD, IT'S TERRIBLE. I don't know what it's going to come to," the woman selling padlocks in a Dodge Center, hardware store lamented. She was referring to a spate of vandalism that had damaged schools and other public facilities and left the town angry. Soine townspeople were so upset they decided to walk the streets of the small town at night looking for troublemakers.

Some blamed the juvenile courts for being "too lenient" on youthful offenders, but the local judge said those people didn't understand the bind the courts are in. That didn't satisfy a bartender, who said, "People are getting so mad that if they don't change the law, they're gonna get their BRIEFLY, the constitutionality of the state law allowing income tax credits or refunds to parents of children in non-public schools was upheld. But the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union said it would appeal the Ramsey County judges' decision An Edina stockbroker filed a complaint With the Internal Revenue Service alleging that the $5,000 raise given to the suburb's superintendent of schools exceeded federal wage guidelines A uniform building code took effect in the state. Some home builders predicted it could lower the cost of single-family housing The Metropolitan Airports Commission agreed with a suggestion from St. Paul Mayor Lawrence Cohen and ordered an audit of its books by the state public examiner.

Cohen had criticized the agency's $491,285 operating loss for 1971 Tons of dead smelt washed up on the Lake Superior shore and sent up a stink that was particularly unpleasant at Duluth. The cause of the fish deaths was unknown. A bartender whose establishment was the target of burglars the night before shot and wounded what he thought to be the returning thief. The man turned out to be a Minneapolis policeman examining pry marks on a rear door frame A teen-aged girl who thumbed a ride near Lake Calhoun was murdered, apparently by the man who picked her up Bloomington councilmen urged tighter police security at rock concerts and asked that undercover narcotics agents screen patrons for drugs Frank Zaragoza, an official of the International Union of Operating Engineers, accused the Metropolitan Sewer Board's administrator of racial and ethnic discrimination in hiring and treatment of employees The local chapter of the American Business Women's Asssociation chose Mrs. Erma Mazingo of St.

Paul as its woman of the year The population of Minneapolis is on the rise again. New population estimates reverse a trend of the last decade and say the city 3 5 now has 436,425 people, up more than 2,000 since 1970 Mazingo Augsburg College sold a dormitory and said it would build an apartment residence hall for students instead The Fourth of July began as the coldest July day in Twin Cities history. The temperature stood at a brisk 43 in the early morning. But things warmed up a bit, especially out on Lake Minnetonka. where a restaurant decided to give away complimentary dinners to the girl who most flatteringly filled out a wet T-shirt.

Some of the contestants cheerily ignored the rules and dispensed with the T-shirt, a decision that certainly put sparklers to shame, male onlookers agreed. In sports news BILL RIGNEY, manager of the Minnesota Twins since 1970, was fired and replaced by Frank Quilici, a member of the Twin organization since 1961. Quilici's Twins won the first game under his management 3-2 on a two-run homer by Harmon Killebrew over the New York Yankees, but lost his next pair to the same Yankees, 1-0 and 9 6. Two of the largest crowds of the season attended the Yankee series; 19,514 when Quilici made his debut and 19,613 Sunday at final game of the series. When Quilici went to home plate to give the umpires the line-up for his first game the fans gave him a standing ovation.

STAN SMITH and Billie Jean King gave America the first men's and women's singles tennis championship at Wimbledon since 1955, when Tony Trabert and Louise Brough won. Smith outlasted Rumanian Hie Nastase 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 America's first men's championship since 1963. Mrs. King defeated defending champion Evonne Goolagong of Australia 6-3, 6-3 in a 50-minute final. JIM KATT, veteran Twin pitcher, suffered a probable fracture of his left thumb sliding into second base in a game at Chicago and will be lost to the team indefinitely.

Tony Oliva, Twin outfielder, underwent surgery again for his right knee and is not expected to play until late September at the earliest. GEORGE t'OLLMER won the driver's championship in the Trans-American sedan series on the Fourth of July at Donnybrooke track near Brainerd, Minn. George Thompson was second and Roy Woods third. Follmer averaged 98.653 miles an hour and set a course record. ZORA FOLLEY, 41.

former top-ranked contender for the world heavyweight crown, was fatally injured when he fell during a friendly scuffle at a Tucson, motel. JIM RYUN, the world record holder in the mile, came from behind to win the 1,500 meter in 3 minutes 41.5 seconds in the United States Olympic trials to qualify for the track team. In other places THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, in an unusual special session, ruled that the federal courts should stay out of the political presidential selection process. It let stand the Democratic National Convention Credential Committee's action taking 151 California votes away from the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Sen.

McGovern. The court also refused to interfere with unseating a slate of 59 delegates from Illinois headed by Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago. Final decisions on the credential rulings will be made by the Miami Beach convention this week. ALMOST AS ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN as the Democratic Party's delegate contests was the world championship chess match, scheduled, to begin more than a week ago at Reykjavik, Iceland.

After American challenger Bobby Fischer apologized to the Russian world champion, Boris Spassky, the match finally appeared all set to start tomorrow.
