Hastings objected to the council giving its project a lower priority than before, reducing the possibility of getting money. After hearing the objections, the council decided to withhold a ranking for Hastings and consider it at the next council meeting July 21 in Lincoln. Harvest is early but disappointing KEARNEY (AP) Nebraska might take legal action to require Peru to upgrade its sewage treatment facilities, according to state officials. Officials met with The Nebraska Environmental Control Council Friday in Kearney.

Peru recently rejected state and federal money to improve its sewage system and could be in violation of clean-water regulations. If sued, Peru would be the first Nebraska community to face legal action for violating the regulations. The Nebraska Environmental Control Council Friday removed Peru from its "project priority list" Peru had been scheduled to pay 12.5 percent of the cost of the work, with the federal government financing 75 percent and the state 12.5 percent. In Peru, Mayor G.M. Pryor said he didn't think the state has the authority to take legal action.

Pryor, who has been mayor only a week, said he doesn't know the background of the sitation. He said he thought Peru had permission to continue its present sewage treatment operations.

Dan Maguire of the Nebraska Wheat Committee said Humboldt Elevator at Humboldt has tested 20 loads of wheat with an average moisture content of 13.7 percent. Only one of the 20 loads weighed less than 60 pounds to the bushel an indication that the area's wheat crop escaped much of the damaging frost to hit other areas of southeast Nebraska. Maguire said Nebraska's wheat harvest was expected to begin in earnest along the Kansas border early next week. However, in localities further west harvesting is expected to begin in 10 to 14 davs. of about a half dozen twisters spotted during a violent evening along the Kansas-Missouri border.

Twisters also touched down near Eudora and Olathe in Kansas and outside the Missouri towns of Freeman, Harrisonville, Cleveland and Archie. At least one person has been arrested for looting, but details of the incident were not available, the Douglas County sheriff's office said. Bill Hoch, press secretary for Gov.

Many trees and power lines were down, and crews were working feverishly to restore power to blacked-out sections of Lawrence, a city of 52,000 people located in east-central Kansas, about 45 miles west of Kansas City.

"We got in, called in the others and said a prayer," said Roger Flory, manager of the market. The tornado was apparently the first Sioux tribe planning Black Hills takeover By Ann Toner Farm Editor Combines are starting to roll in southeast Nebraska, launching one of the earliest wheat harvests in recent memory. But the harvest holds a sheaf of disappointment for many fanners who have seen their harvest prospects diminished by drought, a late spring frost and heavy chinch-bug infestations. The first load of new-crop wheat rolled across the scales at the Farmers Cooperative Oil Association Elevator at Hebron late Friday, said elevator manager Bill Boyer. But the quality of the wheat was poor, 51 pounds to the bushel, with kernels shriveled from dry weather and hot winds that hurried the crop to maturity.

Yields in the area are expected to vary from 50-60 bushels per acre down to 10-20, but Boyer expects that weight and quality of the grain are likely to poorer than usual, reflecting the battle area farmers have had with weather and insects ever since the 1980 wheat harvest. "A poor crop is a blow to everyone in a small town, not just farmers and elevators," Boyer said. "Prospects for the milo crop are poor, too. The soybeans that were planted late need rain to grow, and the early ones are sitting there waiting for water. The main topics of conversation downtown are chinch bugs and weather."

(UPI) Oglala Sioux Tribal President Stanley Looking Elk said the tribe will take over a parcel of land in the Black Hills next Thursday, the 105th anniversary of Custer's last stand. Looking Elk told a Minnesota radio station Friday that he hoped the takeover would result in a confrontation with the government and force the issue of ownership of the Black Hills back into court. He said three possible sites were under consideration. Looking Elk said the action was not related to a two-month-old American Indian Movement occupation at the Yellow Thunder Camp near Rapid City. AIM also wants the Black Hills returned to Indians.

tank. OMAHA (AP) Second Lt. Christopher M. Cooke made his first contact with the Soviet embassy in Washington during the same month he began serving on a Titan II missile crew in Kansas, the Strategic Air Command said Friday. Cook, a 25-year-old missile launch officer, has been accused of making 13 visits to' the Soviet Embassy and with giving away defense information, the Air Force says.

According to SAC, Cooke arrived at McConnell Air Force Base at Wichita in June 1980 after receiving Titan II missile training at Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc, and at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Palls, Texas. Launch officers customarily receive additional crew training with their unit at McConnell. It was at this point, the Air Force has charged, that Cooke made contact with "a person or persons" not authorized to receive missile system information. Cooke was arrested May 28 and was formally charged the following day with failing to report contacts with representatives of a Communist country. SAC said he visited the Soviet Embassy in Washington three times.

He was further charged Thursday with having made 10 additional contacts and having turned over defense information on five occasions. Onfi of the contacts was in the form of a letter, SAC said. A spokesman would not say whether a letter was intercepted. SAC, headquartered in Omaha, hasn't said what information Cooke allegedly handed over, or to whom. The additional charges against Cooke were made Thursday by Lt.
