"But, no one has said anything about it just dont think we should pass a mark like that without taking note of it." Nehrt said his figures are based on United Nations data. The last U.N. World population total, published for mid-1973, was 3.86 billion people with a growth rate of 2.06 per cent a year. "Those are onlv annmirima- BERGEN. Netherlands (AP) rial reported.

Nehrt, who has been a consultant to the Ford Foundation and the United Nations in developing countries of Africa and Asia, said that despite widespread malnutrition and starvation, he has seen little evidence of increasing concern about population control. The 48-year-old professor, himself the father of three, thinks it ironic that the mark could be broken on April Fool's Day. "It's a very sad event, really. A sad joke on mankind," Nehrt said. "We should declare an international day of mourning." Drug Abuse Aid Methadone treatment is available for drug abusers at Freedom Connection, operated by Austin Mental Health-Mental Retardation.

Fischer had said earlier he would refuse to play unless the International Chess Federation FIDE made two changes in world championship rules. A special FIDE congress agreed Wednesday to one of the changes but rejected the other. The congress accepted Fischer's demand for an unlimited number of drawn games until one player reaches 10 victories.

However, it rejected his proposal that the champion retain the title if the match reaches a 9-9 tie. Although only small hope for the championship match remained, the FIDE bureau, which met after the congress adjourned Thursday, directed Campomanes to consult his government on whether Manila could accommodate a postponed match to begin the first Sunday in October. flM Fashion Value: Three-Piece Wardrober To Work WASHINGTON (AP) Justice William 0.
