leading challenger Merle Hansen of Newman Grove in the
closest of the four races. Hanssn held an early lead but fell
behind as more results were reported. .
The total could change with absentee and dialled
ballots. .
Warner, 61, had promised to consider crop and live
stock research expansion a top priority if re-elected.
He had said large capital expenditures for NU campuses
should be cut. Wagner is a grain mill operator.
Hansen, a farmer, has said the university should put
more emphasis on supplying Nebraska communities with
doctors. -
Hansen also has said he ran to represent the average
citizen, and he suggested regents should be paid to attract
average citizen involvement.
Candidates for District Four were also in a close race
early Wednesday.
Incumbent Robert Prokop increased his lead over
opponent Wizard Waldo through the morning.
Waldo, 64, farms near DeVitt. He is vice president of
the State Board of Education and was a state senator for
nine years.
Waldo said regents should use common sense and
consider needs when making decisions. He said regents
don't heed expert studies or formulas to make decisions.
He said he is opposed to unnecessary program dupli

Koefoot, a surgeon, said he has represented the district
well and plans to continue doing so. He said he has helped
improve NlTs medical programs and promised to continue
working toward coordination of postsecondary education.

- New Delhi, India-The lower house of
the Indian Parliament, with most opposi
tion lawmakers boycotting, Tuesday passed
a constitutional amendment giving Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi's government vir
tually unrestrained executive powers. With
only four dissenting votes, the house gave
desk-pounding approval to 'the sweeping
amendment which the government says
will speed a social and economic revolu
tion and the opposition says will insti
tutionalize dictatorship. The amendment,
rewriting the preamble and 59 clauses of
India's 25-year-old democratic charter, cur
tails the powers of the judiciary to enforce
civil liberties and, review legislation and
enables the government to ban "antination
21" groups and activities.
Firing squad
Provo, Utah-Gary Mark Gilmore, a 35-year-old
convicted murderer,- may go
before a Utah firing squad onNov.-15.
If so, he would become the first person
executed in the United States in nine years.
Gilmore, who has spent 18 of the last 21
years in jail, said after losing a bid for a
new trial Monday t&t be would not appeal
the execution order for . the murder of a
motel clerk last July. Utah's capital punish
ment law gives condemned murderers a
choice of death by hanging or firing squad,
and GUmore has said he would prefer to
be shot. It's my, own decision. I was
not influenced by. anytMzg but the fact
that I don't want to spend Jhe rest cf my
life in jail fee told District ' Jude
Robert Bullock. "You sentenced me to die.
Unless it's a joke or something, I want to
go ahead and do it,"

Omaha-Five members of Congress have
asked for an investigation of the mock
hanging of a ; black Nebraska National
Guardsman, according to State- Sen.
Ernest Chambers of Omaha. Chambers
made public letters from Reps. John
Y. McCollister and Virginia Smith of
Nebraska, and Sens. Birch Bayh of
Indiana, Lowell Weicker of Connecticut
and Hiram Fong of Hawaii. Each requested
a federal investigation into the Memorial
Day incident at Ft Gordon, Gal Chambers,
in a letter to Gov. J. J. Exon, charged that
Exon has attempted to "minimize the
seriousness" of the incident , because his
guard appointees have been involved in a
"coverup." . ;
