that acreage cutbacks would reduce the corn
share to about 2 billion bushels below last year's
record of 3.2 billion bushels.
When July's drought continued through August, meteorologists concluded that soil moisture levels were lower in more areas that at any time since the Dust Bowl years.
"IT STILL looks like it is probably the worst since 1936 in terms of its impact on our major commodity crops like corn and soybeans," said Berton, a geologist at the Agriculture Department.
The soybean crop, which was excluded from the payment-in-kind program, was estimated at 1.53 billion bushels, down 33 percent from last

year and 17 percent lower than last month's prediction. That estimate is the smallest since the 1.3 billion bushels were harvested in 1976.
continued from p. 1
The department's Crop Reporting Board estimated national average soybean yield at 24.9 bushels an acre, compared to a record 32.2 bushels last year. It would be the lowest yield since 23.7 bushels an acre were harvested in 1974
A FEW RAINSHOWERS lingered in east-central Kansas yesterday evening, and considerable cloudiness covered both the east-central and southwest portions of the state.
Earlier yesterday, thunderstorms developed over north-central Kansas and moved southeast, producing winds clocked at over 50 mph at the Concordia airport.
Winter wheat, which was planted last fall, matured before the drought began with a record national yield of 41.8 bushels an acre. The crop of 1.98 billion bushels is down just 6 percent from last year, in spite of being included in the payment-in-kind program.
The Cloud County Sheriff's Department and Concernita police said that they had received no police calls.
Scattered rain across Kansas last week helped farmers start planting wheat, but there was not enough rain to help drought-stressed crops, the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service said.
Rainfall in northeast Kansas was five to seven
inches less than normal during July and August, but the yearly rainfall is still at a normal level, weather forecasters said.
THE COLD FRONT that brought cooler weather to Kansas and the Midwest is still a day away from the East Coast, which again is in record-breaking temperatures yesterday.
Heat records were broken in Baltimore, 94; Greensboro, N.C., 95; and Norfolk, Va., 98.
It was 99 at Newport News, Va., and temperatures high enough are common from Lake Erie. D.C. 16, K. 4.
The West Coast was hot, too. San Francisco had a record-breaking 92. Beaches were jammed at a time when the temperature is usually in the 50s.
ACLU
broadened the application of the federal death penalty to include people convicted of treason and espionage, she said.
continued from p. 1
A MAYOR CONCERN of the revisions for the ACLU was the proposed limitations they set on habeas corpus, a form of petition filed to seek the prompt release of someone in custody.
Another bill successfully blocked by the ACU was aimed at the Simpson-Mazza Immigration bill. Part of that bill would have established a federal work identification card that all citizens were required to have. The information they were not illegal aliens. The information would also have been stored in a computer bank.
At the end of her speech, Steiner was questioned about the ACLU's pro-choice stance on abortion by William Dann, 2702 W. 24th Terrace.
DANN DISAGREED with the ACLU's opinion that life begins after birth, and said that some medical evidence suggests that fetuses suffered during abortions.
"It's difficult to understand how the ACLU, which fights human suffering, would promote this kind of violence."
Steiner said that the ACLU believed that a fetus was not a person. The group has looked at the opinions of the legal, medical and religious authorities and has reached no consensus on where life starts.
Steiner was in Lawrence on part of a midwest tour to promote what she called grass-roots tours.

VIENNA — Pope John Paul II is greeted before he celebrates Mass before 15,000 people. Yesterday's Mass marked the 300th
anniversary of the liberation of Vienna from a two-month seige by the Turks.
Movie
The movie will be broadcast Nov. 20 on ABC television.
Meyer said, "I think more people will watch this movie than any other movie made for television. Every movie made for television has dealt with either the past or the present. Ours is the only one that deals with what's around the corner."
BEFORE DIRECTING "The Day After," Meyer directed "Time After Time," starring Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells, and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Klan," starring William Shatner. The book follows the storybook "The Seven Percent Solution," starring Nicol Williamson as Sherlock Holmes.
Meyer isn't worried about the movie being scheduled at the same time as the opening segment of an NBC mini-series about John F. Kennedy. He said he also isn't worried about reports that the film is "relentlessly depressing," affecting viewership.
"I think there are a lot of curious people out there who want to see what's in our film," he said. "I think people will also tend to think that the good stuff in 'the Kennedy series will appear later and will figure that they can miss the beginning."
Meyer said he was pleased with the opportunity to cut the movie.
"I always thought it was too long," he said. "It was scripted too long, I told the network that before we started shooting. I think it's great that they have decided that I was right."
THE SCRIPT WAS too long, he said, because the network wanted a four-hour film to be shown for over two nights to pack more advertising into each segment.
"In the strange world of TV financing the network decided that it would be to that long to pay for itself." Meyer said. "However, the network did the film was too important to do that to it."
The film, which stars Jason Robards, Steve Guttenberg, Jobeth Williams and John Lithgow, cost about $7 million, more than three times the customary amount for television films.
Now, the network has apparently given up now of having the film pay for itself because network officials decided not only to cut the film but also to limit the showing of commercials to the first half of the movie, before the nuclear holocaust.
The film was originally scheduled to appear in Mav, but network officials decided to hold it.
saying they wanted to plan an extensive promotional campaign. During the summer, the network was reportedly having trouble finding advertisers.
MEYER SAID A few commercials were planned for the first part of the film, but denied rumors that the film was cut because of any trouble finding advertisers.
In connection with the film's TV showing, a local anti-nuclear group, Let Lawrence Live, has made plans to tie the movie to the anti-nuclear cause.
Groups in Kansas City and California also are planning anti-nuclear activities in conjunction.
Allan Hau, KU professor of anthropology and one of the founders of Let Lawrence Live, said the group was planning three activities to coincide with the film's network premiere.
Hanson said Let Lawrence Live has planned a series of workshops about nuclear war for the month.
AFTER THE FILM is shown, the group is planning a lighting vigil on the KU campus.
that it has decided to own a meeting of both the next
next day. Mayer David Longhurst has agreed to lead the
meeting.
