Poland said its Olympic Committee would meet next week to decide whether its athletes would attend the Los Angeles games. There was no comment from East Germany oite of the Olympics' most successful medal-winning nations but it was expected to join the boycott In Athens, Greek President Constantine Karamanlis responded to the growing Olympics boycott by calling for the Games to be held permanently at their original site, ancient Olympia.

Returning the Olympics to Greece, Karamanlis said, was the only way to give back the Games "their true nature which they had in ancient times." In Washington, President Reagan said he had "a great feeling of disappointment" and wished the world was as civilized as ancient Greece, which interrupted wars to compete in the Olympics. Tass said Moscow was withdrawing because the United States had failed to provide adequate security for its athletes and blamed the Reagan administration for using the games to whip up anti-Soviet hysteria. Turn to: Olympics, Page 9 MOSCOW (UP?) Bulgaria became Moscow's first ally to join the communist boycott of the Los Angeles Summer Olympics Wednesday amid reports that a rival "Red Olympics" for East Bloc nations was being organized in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. Czechoslovakia appeared certain to boycott Los Angeles as well and Greece called for the Games to be given a permanent site in the nation where they began more than 2,000 years ago. Moscow denied it withdrew from the Los Angeles to avenge the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games and said it acted because Washington was injecting politics and commercialism into the Olympics.

The Bulgarian statement was similar. It said extremist political and religious groups in Los Angeles, "with their hostility against the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, and the other socialist countries" posed a threat to communist athletes. Czechoslovakia, another close ally of Moscow, left little doubt it would go along with the Soviet Union and Bulgaria. A commentary carried by the Czech news agency CTK said Moscow's boycott was a "responsible decision" designed to "protect its sportsmen from anti-Soviet hysteria, of- 1 make violent revolution inevitable." America, Hart said, "must lead in making peaceful revolution possible" in Central America. The Colorado senator's arrival in Lincoln signaled the beginning of a sudden-burst Democratic presidential primary campaign in Nebraska which will also bring former Vice President Walter Mondale and the Rev.

Jesse Jackson to the state later in the week. Buoyed by the enthusiastic greeting from supporters who crowded inside the terminal and lined the second floor balcony, waving banners and posters, and taking pictures, Hart declared: "I can hardly wait until Tuesday. "WE'VE GIVEN YOU so many football victories in the last few years that I think you owe Colorado a primary," he said. Hart was welcomed by Gov. Bob Kerrey and former Rep.

John Cavanaugh of Omaha, who are working in his behalf. Fresh from upset primary victories over Mondale in Ohio and Indiana Tuesday which breathed new life into his campaign, Hart noted that he had always said that "as we moved west, our prospects would improve." After Tuesday's results, Mondale had 1,450 delegates to 873 for Hart and 279 for Jackson. The totals do not include Saturday's Texas caucuses in which Mondale apparently won at least 100 of the 169 delegates at stake. It takes 1,967 delegates to be nominated. HART DROPPED IN on a $250-a-couple fund-raising reception in Lincoln following his arrival Wednesday night, then was Kerrey's overnight guest at the Governor's Mansion.

On Thursday, Hart will hold a press conference at the Statehouse, visit the John Webster family farm near Alda, and move on to Omaha for a number of appearances. By Don Walton of The Lincoln Star Cheered by 230 supporters who waited at the airport an hour and a half for his arrival, Sen. Gary Hart Wednesday night said Congress should reject President Reagan's Central American policies and the United States should help lead the people of the region out of poverty. "The American presence ought to be teachers and doctors and nurses and agricultural experts helping the people in the villages to elevate their standard of living," the Democratic presidential hopeful said. That's "the third alternative" in terms of Central American policy which Reagan failed to mention in his television address to the nation earlier in the evening, Hart told the airport crowd upon his arrival in Lincoln.

REAGAN "DID NOT communicate reality" when he suggested that the only alternatives were to "totally abandon" Central America or to further "militarize (our) presence there," he said. "The president fails to recognize that the principal enemy in Central America is not communism, but poverty." Hart said he hopes Congress "will not go along with the president's policy," which already has led to the spending of Jl billion in El Salvador and resulted only in expansion of the conflict "We are arming both sides, and we are neglecting initiatives of our democratic allies, including Mexico," in their quest for a negotiated peace, Hart said. REAGAN, HE SAID, "had the gall" during his address to quote John F. Kennedy in seeking support for his policies. But, he said, the president did not quote these words spoken by Kennedy: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will GCUC Wtoas stew to pieSxSec wMm Humbtrto RomlwLincoln Star Kerrey (right) stands by Hart as Hart shakes hands.

Reagan says threat 'at our doorstep' from state tax money. Public radio has been a perennial issue of contention in the Legislature since 1975. In the past, KUCV and NETV have both been proposed as the organization that could operate a radio network. But, Graham said, KUCV officials now believe Nebraskans would be best served by a network operated by a number of organizations. At the meeting-April 26, the KUCV Community Advisory Board formed three task forces to study financing, radio programming and the manner in which Public Radio Nebraska would work with the state, the ETV Commission and other agencies.

KUCV officials believe that the cooperation of the ETV Commission is essential for the network to be a success. Under KUCV's proposal, the network would take advantage of the NETV transmitter towers already built around the state. Those towers were built with the capability of handling FM facilities, and, Graham said, the network would eventually like to build antennas and transmitters at each of the seven tower sites serving Nebraskans who Turn to: KUCV, Page 9 By Jeff Bahr of The Lincoln Star Lincoln radio station KUCV, which has tried in the past to take the lead in the formation of a statewide public radio network, is considering a different tack. "Our proposal this time is a cooperative venture, a private-public cooperative model," said KUCV General Manager Eric Graham. "We see that as what will make it successful" Under the plan being studied by the KUCV Community Advisory Board, a private, nonprofit entity, possibly known as Public Radio Nebraska, would operate the network.

The organization would operate in conjunction with the state and the Nebraska Educational Television Network, Graham said. The entity would be governed by representatives of a number of organizations. Among them, Graham said, might be Union College, which owns KUCV, NETV, the state, the University of Nebraska, and other higher educa- tion institutions in the state. Public Radio Nebraska would not require approval from the Legislature, Graham said. The network would operate with private and federal funds, and would not benefit directly Central America.

What we wanted was a call to peace." O'Neill added that Reagan dashed hopes "for an end to the mining, an end to the covert war against Nicaragua." Several lawmakers said Reagan had done little to help his call for more aid to Central America in Congress. Rep. Robert Matsui, D-Calif, said, "His speech was warlike, irresponsible and will not move the Congress to support his aggressive policy in the area." A spokesman said the White House switchboard received 915 telephone calls in the 30 minutes following the speech: 764 favorable to the president and 151 critical of him. In restating his arguments for additional military aid to El Salvador and to CIA-backed Nicara- WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan warned Wednesday that 100 million people face communist enslavement, "chaos and anarchy" if Congress fails to vote enough money to protect the vulnerable democracies of Central America. The threat to the United States "is at our doorstep," he declared, and he cautioned against listening to "the new isolationists" who espouse "a policy of wishful thinking" reminiscent of the appeasement of Adolf Hitler before World War II.

"We can and must help Central America," Reagan declared in a nationally broadcast address from the Oval Office. "It's in our national interest to do so and morally it's the only right thing to do. But helping means doing enough." However, congressional Democrats sharply criticized Reagan's speech, with House Speaker Thomas O'Neill saying it was a. "call to arms in guan rebels, Reagan said that if Congress fails to come through with the money, all of Central America could fall to Soviet- and Cuban-backed subversion. "What we see in El Salvador," he warned, "is an attempt to destabilize the entire region and eventually move chaos and anarchy toward the American border." "This communist subversion poses the threat that 100 million people, from Panama to the open border on our south, could come under the control of pro-Soviet regimes," the president said.

"Concerns about the prospecl of hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing communist oppression to seek entry into our country are well-founded," he said.

They talked with then-Superintendent of Schools Steve Wat-kins, and he asked the Hendersons to take the trophies home for safekeeping. He recalled that when Jackson High in University Place had closed 15 years earlier, its trophies had been lost because nobody took responsibility for them. "He didn't want the same thing to happen to ours," Carmen Henderson said.

Over the years, the Hendersons loaned the trophies to former graduates for alumni events, but refused to entrust them to anyone else's care. Carmen helped keep alive the memory of the old school by organizing frequent reunions of the classes from 1940 through 1956. Last year, a wing at Southeast High School was named in honor of Hazel Scott, and this year students and faculty decided never end? By Bob Reeves of The Lincoln Star When Lincoln Southeast High School opened in 1955, it replaced the former College View High School that had served the surrounding community for 35 years. Hazel G. Scott, former College View principal, became the first principal of the new school, and she brought with her all the trophies and memorabilia of the old school Instead of the trophies being displayed, however, they were stashed in the back of a closet Carmen Henderson, a student from the old school who was a member of the first graduating class at Southeast, felt the trophies were being neglected.

"They had just been thrown in the closet and some of them were broken," she said. "It was like nobody cared."

Officials said the average yield, based on indications as of May 1, was estimated at 38.2 bushels per acre, compared to last year's record of 41.8 bushels per harvested acre Winter wheat makes up about three-fourths of total U.S. wheat production. The report said farmers will have an estimated 51.8 million acres of winter wheat for harvest this year, compared to 47.7 million acres to 1983 and 58.5 million in 1982.

The potentially huge harvest the fourth largest in U.S. history spells further problems for wheat producers who have seen prices stagnate under the weight of unused stockpiles. Children's Petting Zoo Centrum, Thurs. thru Sun. 11 'O'-Ad est since the 1965 crop of 54.5 million bushels.

The Reporting Service expects only 69.7 percent of the wheat planted to be harvested. It would be the largest abandonment of the crop since 1941. That's because much of the wheat was planted as a cover crop last fall with no intention of being harvested and because some of the wheat will be destroyed in order for farmers to participate in a scaled-down payment-in-kind program. Extensive winter kill and wet spring weather which promoted soil-borne wheat diseases also contributed to decisions to abandon part of the crop. "During the -last 20 years, Nebraska's wheat crop has failed to surpass 90 million bushels in only five the service said.

Agriculture African Violet Society Show Sale, Atrium Thur-Frl 10-S-Ad In a related report, the department said total world grain production in 1984-85 could rise to a record level, up 8 percent from last season's depressed output According to the projections described as "highly tentative" world wheat production could be 2 percent higher than in 1983-84. Agriculture Secretory John Block told The Associated Press that while the winter wheat figures show "a healthy crop" is in the works, they portend no worse a surplus problem than already had been anticipated. Carl Schwensen, executive vice president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, said the winter wheat estimate of nearly 2 billion bushels points to an overall U.S. wheat harvest this year of about 2.5 billion bushels, possibly up slightly from 2.43 billion in 1983.
