Plea bargain reached in Nebraska slayings
United Press International
FALLS CITY, Neb. — One of three people charged in the torture slaying of a man whose body was found in an unmarked grave on a survivalist farm pleaded guilty yesterday to second-degree murder in a plea agreement.
Timothy Haverkamp, 23, entered the plea before Richardson County District Judge Robert Finn, who ordered a pre-sentence investigation.
Haverkamp pleaded guilty in the April 30, 1985 torture slaying of James Thimm, 26, whose body was found in an unmarked grave on a farm near Rulo. Authorities contended that Thimm was a member of a
survivalist cult who fell out of favor.
rivalist cult who fell out of favor. Havekamp told Finn he took part in the torturing of Thimm, which included whipping and shooting the ends off some of his fingers. Authorities also said Thimm was placed in a grave and shot in the head after his legs were broken.
"Yes I did participate in those turtures that I mentioned," Haverkamp told Finn, who told the defendant a guilty plea to second-degree murder meant he was admitting he killed Thimm intentionally.
Haverkamp, who was in court with his attorneys, James H. Cain Jr. of Auburn, Neb., and Daniel E. Wherry of Lincoln, Neb., earlier had pleaded not guilty.
Development plan sought State panel to hire consultant
TOPEKA "The Legislative Commission on Economic Development voted yesterday to hire a consultant to help the Kansas Legislature interpret and adopt recommendations in KU reports on attracting new industries to the state.

Braden, R-Clay Center, said the commission would focus on a report issued in January by the Institute for
House Majority Leader James Braden, the chairman of the commission, said its 10 members decided to hire Beldon Daniels of Cambridge, Mass., who has helped to create comprehensive economic development programs in more than a dozen states.
Public Policy and Business Research at the University of Kansas. It will recommend action the Legislature can take this year to enhance economic development in the state.
Tax breaks for businesses and several new economic development programs were among the report's 34 recommendations.
The KU institute, led by KU business professor Anthony Redwood, also recommended that the state exempt all computer parts and machinery used to manufacture computers from some state taxes, including the sales tax.
"The commission was formed to study the Redwood report and to report to the Legislature on which recommendations should be implemented this session as well as those that we can adopt in the future." Braden said.
Senate Minority Leader Mike Johnston, D-Parsons, who is a member of the commission, said he thought Daniels would be paid between $20,000 and $25,000 in salary and
expense money to meet with the
panel for about 18 davs.
The commission was formed as the result of a resolution that the House and Senate passed unanimously Thursday. Six Republicans and four Democrats have been appointed to the commission.
Private school advocates seek state tax deductions
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Spokesmen for public and private schools debated before the House Education Committee yesterday whether parents who send their children to parochial schools should be able to deduct part of the expense on their state income tax returns.
In written testimony given to the committee, a spokesman for the Kansas Association of School Boards called the proposal "a destructive blockbuster which diverts public money from where it's needed: the public schools and other state responsibilities."
However, a spokesman for the Kansas Catholic Conference said the measure would constitute recognition by the Legislature "of the important role non-public schools play in educating 8 percent of all Kansas school children," which he says saves Kansas taxpayers $80 million a year.
and carried over to this session. Both the education and tax committees must endorse it to get it to the House floor for debate this year.
This proposal differs from previous attempts at providing parents of children attending private schools with a tax break. For one thing it is a tax deduction, not a tax credit.
Parents could deduct a maximum $500 from their adjusted gross income for the tuition, textbook and transportation costs they pay on behalf of a child in kindergarten through sixth grade, or $700 for grades 7 through 12.
Parents of public school children also could deduct actual expenses — to the same maximums — that they must spend for books, fees and special clothing or equipment required for regular classroom courses, but not for athletics or other extracurricular activities.
Parents of private school students would have much higher expenses, because most of them pay tuition charges.
Opponents argued that the bill would drain public financing.
