Little rain ahead Highs in the 70s. A-2. f-r. 1 Beatrice Monday Oct. 14, 1991 16 pages 4 i kl Question lingers: who's telling the truth? President Bush, repeated his support for his embattled nominee, saying "I believe he will make it'' Sunday's final proceedings were marked by electric moments outside the hearings as well as inside.

Four witnesses for Hill testified that she told each separately during the 1980s that Thomas had made inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances toward her. To bolster her credibility, Hill voluntarily submitted to a Please turn to A-2, Col. 3 capable of making it up; "At this point, what more can be said?" concluded Sen. Patrick' Leahy, D-Vt. "The whole thing was a disaster.

The whole process was. a disaster," Sen. John Danforth, Thomas' chief sponsor, said as he walked from the ornate Senate caucus room that had been the scene of X-rated discussions aired on national television. Both sides agreed on this, at least: Both Hill and Thomas have been forever damaged by the proceeding. A Los Angeles Times Poll conducted among 1,264 people nationwide on Saturday and Sunday found 51 percent sup-, ported confirmation for Thomas; 25 percent favored rejection.

The Times poll has a margin of error of three percentage points. The Senate Judiciary Committee ended the hearings at 2 a.m. Monday after a 14-hour Sunday session in which supporters of Thomas and Hill debated whether Thomas was capable of committing the aggressive behavior attributed to him, and whether Hill was by mutual agreement With the vote scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, the focus now was on Democratic senators who were undecided or who may have heard something to change their earlier support for Thomas' confirmation. Sen.

Joseph Lieberman, said he was not officially withdrawing his support for Thomas but that he was undecided after the weekend's nationally televised hearings. "I'm as pained and perplexed as the rest of America," Lieberman said on NBC. "It's quite possible that we're not able to decide that anybody is lying," he said. As senators weigh their votes, public opinion polls indicate more Americans are siding with Thomas than with Hill. And poll after poll shows dissatisfaction with the Senate's handling of the controversy.

A USA Today survey of 758 people Sunday night found 47 percent believed Thomas when he denied Hill's allegations; 24 percent believed Hill. The poll has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

The truth was still unclear when the Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up its hearings early Monday after 20 people spoke long and for-' cefully for Thomas and his accuser, Anita Hill. A final climactic showdown between the nominee and Hill was averted Digest 23 killed JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) At least 23 people were killed in one of the worst weekends of violence in Johannesburg's black township's in months, police said, nearly half of them by gunmen who stormed a bar and nearby homes.

The killings came despite a peace pact signed last month by most of the country's main political groups aimed at trying to halt the carnage. Setbacks WASHINGTON (AP) In the IS months since homeless advocate Mitch Snyder hanged himself in the shelter he founded, his cause has been dealt a series of setbacks. "There seems to be a changing attitude toward those who are homeless," said the Rev. John Steinbruck, pastor of Washington's Luther Place Memorial Church, which runs a shelter. "There is a willingness now, an almost cruel willingness, to leave those who are the weakest and the most broken, those who have fallen through the cracks, to fend for themselves," he said.

Trade issues also play a part in the decline of exports, Frederick said. "It takes two to tango when you talk about free trade.

The-fact of the matter is we're getting nowhere trying to engage in free trade unilaterally," he said. The United States is trying to move ahead on free trade but not receiving much cooperation from other countries, he Said. approximately one acre of land in March 1981. The land was acquired from Jennie Meyer, who is now deceased, according to Boone County Clerk Bob Zoucha. The property, Zoucha said, is located 14 miles west and eight miles north of Albion, about two miles from the Wheeler County line, "at the foothills of the Sandhills." Zoucha said a new Nebraska law raises some interesting questions about selling the parcel of Nebraska land meeting people, and "having money in the bank." He got interested in newspaper delivery because his father had been a carrier.

"It was something my dad had done, and he had sort of edged me toward it," Terwilleger said. Terwilleger, son of Jim and Lois Terwilleger of 111 N. 28th began delivering papers Aug. 1, 1988, and now delivers 73 papers on his route. Terwilleger said the Carrier of the Year award was something he never thought would happen to him.

He said he felt he got the award because of his good delivery and timely payment. Shannon Kleveland, 'circulation manager for the Daily Sun, agreed. "Karl was selected because he' is always prompt and courteous with his customers," she said. Terwilleger said he has learned a lot on the job, too about business, and about dealing with people. In honor of his selection, Mrs.

Kleveland said Terwilleger will eat dinner in Lincoln and attend the Nebraska-Kansas State football game Saturday with the other carriers selected by participating newspapers throughout the state. During the day, the carriers will tour Lincoln sites and receive an Admiralship in the Nebraska Navy. Don Hutchens, executive director of the Nebraska Com Board in Lincoln, said the U.S. Feed Grains Council estimates com exports arc off 15 million metric tons. "We're doing something wrong," Hutchens said.

"And we've got to figure out what makes us competitive in the world market, because the price is an indicator of what's happening." Prices are at discouraging levels for farmers, even though U.S. grain reserves are down substantially from several years ago. The law went into effect in January. Among its provisions is a requirement that any real estate that changes hands in Nebraska must be surveyed and a complete legal description of the property filed by the county clerk or register of deeds. Whether it will affect every inch of Boone County sold will be discussed when the Nebraska Association of County Officials annual meeting convenes in Omaha on Tuesday, Zoucha said.

In a telephone interview from his New York office, Moger said most land acquisitions f5r the Baker's meeting with Mubarak coincided with the 10th anniversary of his presidency. On Oct. 14, 1981, Mubarak succeeded his assassinated predecessor, Anwar Sadat, who pioneered peace between Egypt and Israel in 1979. This first stop for Baker on his regional swing is his easiest. Mubarak is an enthusiastic supporter of the Bush administration's land-for-pcace formula and advised all sides last week not to engage in a war of words that might torpedo a peace conference.

In Monday's remarks, however, Baker did not spell out the land-for-pcace concept, which Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir rejects. Baker merely cited U.N. Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 as the terms of reference for the peace conference. He called them "the magic words." Resolution 242 calls for Israel to withdraw from territories it occupied in the 1967 war in return for Arab recognition of US right to live in peace within secure borders. Resolution 338 reaffirms 242 and calls for negotiations under "the appropriate Asked specifically about the land-for-pcace fonnula, Baker replied: "The various parties to this exercise have their gwn interpretations of what 242 requires.

Those interpretations differ and it will be up to the negotiations to determine exactly what is required." Egypt's Moussa said a few hours before Baker's arrival in Cairo on Sunday that "without land in exchange for peace we cannot have peace." But Baker reiterated the U.S. view that building Israeli settlements in the occupied lands is "an obstacle to peace." Mubarak said there was nothing to worry about regarding Syria's position in the peace process. Syrian President Hafez Assad, who had talks with Mubarak in Cairo on Saturday, "is eager and keen to attend the peace conference," the Egyptian leader said. The idea for the miniature land promotion emerged when Mogcr's parents were cleaning out their attic and discovered a gold-embossed deed from Quaker Oats that Moger had dug out of a cereal box as a youngster. Quaker Oats in 1954 gave out 22 million deeds for owning square inches of the Yukon, the setting for the cereal 's weekly radio show "Sgt.

Preston of the Yukon." The deeds were found in each box of Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice cereal. Palestinian representation still unsettled CAIRO, Egypt (AP) Secretary of State James A. Baker III said Monday that many differences over a planned Middle East peace conference have been resolved, but the question of Palestinian representation remains unsettled. But both Baker and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak sounded optimistic that a conference would be convened by the end of this month under the auspices of the United States and the Soviet Union. Talking to reporters after a meeting lasting almost four hours, Baker said: "The question of Palestinian representation is still being discussed.

"I met with Palestinians from the (Israeli-occupied) territories late last week and I'll be meeting with them again the day after tomorrow," Baker said. Baker will be in Israel on Wednesday after visits to Jordan and Syria. The secretary said "a lot of differences" had been settled, but there were some that "we may not be ultimately able to resolve with any degree finality. But at some point we willliave to consider the issues and send invitations." Mubarak, who briefed reporters jointly with Baker, belittled the remaining differences. "We hope that the conference may convene by the end of this month," Mubarak said, adding he could not characterize outstanding issues as "big obstacles." "There are some small things that could be solved," the president said.

Baker's comment that Palestinian representation remained an issue was at variance with Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa's appraisal in an Israeli newspaper interview published Monday. "My assessment is the problem of Palestinian representation is over," Moussa told the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. He gave no details. American Acres plan were made through real estate agents. He said he worked primarily through a large real estate firm that sent out form letters to real estate agents in the states, expressing an interest in the purchase of about an acre of land within a certain price range.

"The land is all undeveloped and will remain undeveloped. This, perhaps, may be the only chance to enhance the property," he said. Several mail order catalogs promoting the property offerings have just gone out, Moger said. Exports affected by trade issues LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) A recent report that agricultural exports declined comes at a time when federal officials are emphasizing aggressive export strategics, a farm policy analyst said.

"If you have good weather around the world which we had, incidentally, in 1990 it's going to cause tremendous changes," said Roy Frederick of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "It's going to cause decline in export potential for traditional exporting countries. There's no doubt about it." The October issue of Agricultural Outlook magazine es Plan to sell inch of Nebraska complicated LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) A New York promoter who got a deed for a square inch of the Yukon from a cereal box 37 years ago has updated the idea to allow purchasers to own a square inch of soil in Nebraska and the other 49 states.
