Kansas prepared to sue Nebraska over pact violation
The Associated Press
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — It is time for Nebraska to live up to its end of a 1943 compact between Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska over the sharing of Republican River Basin water, a Kansas official says.
David Pope, state water engineer for Kansas, said officials in his state were getting impatient, and if Nebraska didn't cooperate on water conservation in the basin, Kansas would sue in federal court sometime in 1996.
Pope said at a Chamber of Commerce forum Wednesday that Kansas political leaders were considering a legal action against Nebraska to get control of groundwater irrigation use in the Republican River Basin.
"Clearly, if we go to court, we'll be asking for damages," Pope said. But, "as long as we're out of the courthouse, we'll talk."
Kansas has been limiting use of groundwater in the river basin south of the border with Nebraska, but Nebraska has done nothing to conserve groundwater use in southwestern and south-central Nebraska, Pope said.
The Republican River starts in Colorado and flows through Nebraska into Kansas.
Nebraska should begin by putting a moratorium on new irrigation wells in the Republican River Basin, he said.
Pope said Nebraska legislators say they can't limit groundwater use because Nebraska law doesn't recognize the relationship between groundwater and surface water. But Nebraska has the authority to control groundwater use based on the 1943 Republican River Compact between Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. Pope said.
Scientific studies show that groundwater irrigation in the river valley affects the amount of surface water going down the river, Pope said.
That compact was approved by the three state legislatures and Congress.
Nebraska senators have considered legislation that would recognize the relationship between surface water and groundwater.
Denmark grants motion to extradite American neo-Nazi
The Associated Press
COPENHIAGEN, Denmark — Denmark's highest court today cleared the way for the extradition of a notorious American neo-Nazi to Germany.
Gary Lauck, 42, faces charges in Germany of distributing illegal racist propaganda and Nazi symbols. No date was set for the extradition, but it is expected within 10 days.
Lauck has been the main supplier of propaganda to German neo-Nazis for about 20 years, according to German authorities. His newspaper, NS Kampfruf or NS Battle Cry, glorifies Hitler and contains anti-Semitic articles. His neo-Nazi organization, NSDAP/AO, was banned in Germany in 1974.
Lauck, of Lincoln, Neb., was arrested at Germany's request in March, when he was in Denmark to attend a regional convention of neo-Nazis. He is imprisoned near Copenhagen.
He had been fighting his extradition, but the Danish Supreme Court
turned him down after a lengthy legal battle. No further appeals are possible.
In announcing the court's ruling, Chief Judge Marie-Louise Andreasen rejected Lauck's arguments that he was working for political change.
Lauck had no visible reaction when the sentence was read in court today.
"The fight goes on," Lauck told reporters after the hearing. When asked what kind of treatment he expected in Germany, Lauck crossed his fingers and smiled nervously.
Lauck's publications contained statements that violate Denmark's law on racism, Judge Andreasen said. The court gave four examples, including an article in Lauck's newspaper that said: "Jews are our calamity. Out with the Jews. Only NSDAP/AO can help."
According to Danish law, a person can be extradited only if his activities are illegal in Denmark and punishable with a minimum sentence of one year.
