8 Alliance, Times-Herald, Tuesday. September 13. 1988 Todays Wrap Up New York Stock Exchange Alliance In Brief Physician: Nuke Waste Bailot Language Should Be Changed New York (AP)-Noon stocks: Lost Chg. $1.5 million, which the group says would be the amount that may be lost in federal rebate funds if the state's withdrawal causes the compact to fail to meet federal deadlines. The penalty also would include any costs for developing a new facility in one of the remaining compact states.

The group estimates that figure at $42 million, Andersen said. Penalties named by the antiwithdrawal group is pure speculation, said Lynn Moorer, spokeswoman for the Nebraskans for the Right to Voje, a group campaigning for withdrawal from the compact. The issues of whether penalties ould be imposed on Nebraska and the size of any such penalties are questions to be settled in court, Moorer said, The compact agreement itself doesnt mention penalties, she said. The issue of penalties appears only in Rule 23, an agreement reached by Central Interstate Low-Level Compact commissioners that has not been ratified by the legislatures of the five compact states, she said. Rule 23 says states may withdraw from the compact by passing a law to that effect and notifying all other member states.

After notification, the commission governing the compact will meet to see if the withdrawing state has complied with the terms of the compact. If the withdrawing state is found to be in non-compliance, the commissioners must revoke its compact membership. Penalties listed in Rule 23 apply to states that have withdrawn from the compact and had their membership revoked by the commission. Secretary of State Allen Beer-mann said the language on the ballot cant be changed after Friday. LINCOLN, Neb.

(AP) The ording of a ballot measure asking hether Nebraska should withdraw from a nuclear waste disposal compact has been challenged in court by a member of a group opposing withdrawal. Dr. David Hoelting, a physician from Pender, has filed suit in Lancaster County District Court asking that the ballot measure specify that Nebraska would be subject to penalties and other Labilities for withdrawal from the compact. Hoelting filed the suit as an individual and as a member of Nebraskans Breaking Our Word on the Compact, said group spokes-w oman Martha Andersen. The legal fees will be paid by Hoelting with help, if needed, from the anti-w ithdraw al group, she said.

The group would assist in the legal fees through donations from members. Passage of the ballot measure, known as Initiative 402, would subject the state to a direct penalty of at least $42 million, Hoelting said in a statement release issued by Nebraskans Against Breaking Our Word. The ballot language does not fairly present or truthfully present the consequences of approving Initiative 402 and, since the taxpayers will pay the penalties, he felt they have a right to know the penalties, Andersen said. She said the penalties would include: $125,000 that would have been the state's five-year contribution to the compact's budget. $350,000, which the group says would be the amount the states waste generators would have contributed to the compact's five-year budget.

Part Of 1-80 Remains Closed Near Seward SEWARD, Neb. (AP) A tanker truck exploded in a fiery crash on Interstate 80 near Seward, killing the truck driver and forcing the Nebraska State Patrol to keep a portion of the interstates eastbound lane closed today.

The accident raises the Nebraska road death total to 195, compared with 199 by Sept. 12, 1987. Chan Schwartz Heritage VI Mall 318 Box Butte 762-6494 tors have suggested, board members said earlier. However, the random sampling of students statewide will give legislators and others better information on performance, the board and Lutjeharms agreed. The state board also voted to ask the 1988 Legislature for about $12 million in additional funds to improve schools through 1991.

The largest single new project, to cost more than $3 million, would aid at-risk students, those who are potential dropouts or have other problems. A coordinator would be hired to help local schools reach their most difficult students, pregnant teenagers and others, a report to the State Education Board said. However, the board dropped an earlier proposal for a $2 million survey of how satisfied Nebraskans are with their public schools, as part of the new accreditation plan. The survey can best be done by local schools, not by the state, Lutjeharms said. Tax Levies For 1988 Are Set (Continued From Page 1) He worked for the Nebraska State Patrol from 1975 to 1985 as a criminal investigator.

He will work not less than 32 hours per week in the Alliance office, spread over a minimum of four days per week. He will have an annual salary of $19,800. He will continue to live in Chadron because his wife currently teaches at Chadron State College and his three children are enrolled in Chadron public schools. Margheim said that he hopes Harford will move to Alliance in the near future. Several local attorneys earlier this month told the commissioners that a new deputy attorney should in fact live in Box Butte County.

The vote was 2-1 to hire Harford as the new deputy county attorney. Casper Brixius voted no. In other action: The commissioners heard from J.O. Butcher who said he was protesting the setting of the county mill levy. Butcher contends the city is not paying the county the in-lieu-of-taxes amount required from the city's enterprise funds.

He mentioned mostly the citys electrical fund. Margheim told the commissioners that they are not a court of law and cant change levy figures submitted by the city. He suggested that Butcher settle his grievance i with the city in court. The commissioners took Margh-eims advice and took no action on the issue.

(AP) Specific guidelines to measure the quality of Nebraska schools will be developed by the Policy Analysis Center of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Teachers College within the next four months, Education Commissioner Joe Lutjeharms said. Changes school assessment and accreditation were approved last week by the State Board of Education.

In a series of actions during a meeting in Gering, the board: Voted to replace the present three-tiered accreditation, approval and AA classifications with a single set of standards for all public schools. Endorsed a report by the State Department of Educations Accreditation Committee, which says schools will be evaluated by how well students and teachers perform, not just by how many courses schools offer or the number of library books, for example. Directed the UNL Policy Analysis Center to study how student performance, subsequent employment and other factors can be used to measure the quality of schools.

(AP) Gov. Kay Orr says the Democrats are to blame for delays in naming Omaha as the site for a vice presidential debate next month. We have been awaiting final word, the Commission on Presidential Debates is ready to offer Omaha a contract and Vice President George Bush and Dan Quayle say they want Omaha, Mrs. Orr said Tuesday. "But the Democrats have some objection.

We dont know what it is, she said in a brief meeting with reporters outside' the Governor's mansion. If selected, Omaha would accommodate a vice presidential debate between Quayle and Democratic vice presidential nominee Lloyd Bentsen during the week of Oct. 3. Mrs. Orr said she feels absolute, total frustration" with the delays.

It makes so much sense to come here, she said. Chairmen of the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns have agreed to a Sept, 25 debate between Bush and Demo erat Michael Dukakis in Winston: Salem, N.C.. The League of Women Voters have agreed to sponsor a debate between the two men on the West Coast, Mrs. Orr said. My appeal is to get some answers from the other side.

Its up to the Dukakis people to tell us whats up, she said.
