Mo. police reduce manhunt
The Associated Press
WRIGHT CITY, Mo. — Teams of heavily-armed police swept through a broken-down house yesterday looking for the man suspected in a three-state crime spree, but they did not find him and cut back on the weeklong manhunt.
Scores of officers had spent a tense night planning the raid after bloodhounds led authorities Sunday to the vacant three-story house. The house is located just a block east of the Wright City Police Department, which has served as command post for the search for fugitive Michael Wayne Jackson.
After the dawn assault turned up no trace of Jackson, authorities
announced the manhunt would be reduced sharply from 100 searchers to about 25. Roadblocks were removed from highways into this town of 1,200 people.
"We scaled down because we didn't have any new leads and we've already looked anywhere we knew to look," said Sgt Bill Kelems of the Missouri Highway Patrol. "The men are tired. We don't believe the roadblocks are effective anymore. Sometimes in the near future we could decide to call it off, but I can't tell you when that might be."
Jackson is a suspect in three slayings, five abductions and two robberies that were committed Sept. 22 as he fled from his home in Indianapolis across Illinois and into eastern Missouri.
Authorities have said they believe Jackson, 41, was wounded during a shootout with two Wright police officers after he pulled into a gas station on Sept. 22.
An apparent break-in at a mobile home three miles southwest of town Sunday provided the best lead since the search began, said highway patrol Sgt. Jim Lee.
Officefins found used razors, hair, fingerprints and evidence that someone had eaten soup in the trailer. Lee said. Jackson had a thick beard and long hair when last seen, so the hair and evidence that someone had eaten fit the theory that he had been hungry after a week on the run and tried to alter his physical appearance, he said.
TOPEKA — The Kansas Board of Regents yesterday requested $2.8 million for construction during the next fiscal year as part of a $122.5 million building program at state university campuses.
As he presented the new requests to the Joint Committee on State Building Construction, Warren Corman, director of facilities for the Regents, acknowledged that financing for most of the new projects would have to come from general tax revenue.

Regents request project funds
Corman said the Kansas Legislature already has approved spending $61.4 million for construction at the six state universities and Kansas Technical Institute in Salina during the next three budget years. However, Corman said those projects will consume nearly all of the
annual property tax money that is set aside for Regents construction purposes.
Although revenue shortfalls have placed a strain on the pool of general tax money called the State General Fund, Corman said the Regents are requesting $4 million from that source for building maintenance and repairs in addition to the $2.8 million in new construction requests.
The money for repairs, maintenance, remodeling and energy conservation topped a list of 12 proposed building requests that Corman outlined for the committee.
A proposed $550,000 chilled water system for air conditioning in the chemistry-biochemistry building at Kansas State University was ranked second among the new requests. That proposal calls for an expenditure of $100,000 during fiscal year 1988, which begins July 1, 1987.
A $202,000 survey of problems relating to utility services at the University of Kansas was ranked third and a $150,000 expenditure toward a $12.7 million science building for Wichita State University was fourth on the list.
The list, which the Regents approved last week, also calls for spending $200,000 next year toward a $1.6 million renovation of an aeronautical laboratory at KTI as well as $187,000 toward $804,000 worth of work on Pittsburgh State University's School of Technology.
Other projects the Regents listed were $170,000 toward the $7.4 million renovation of Plumb Hall at Emporia State University, $70,000 for greenhouses at KSU, $860,000 for remodeling Haworth Hall at KU and $625,000 toward the renovation of KU's Fowler Hall.
Stephan and Moore turn forum to fight
United Press International
PRIMRIE VILLAGE - The first important joint forum between attorney general candidates last night turned into a donnybrook over incumbent Attorney General Robert Stephan's secret settlement of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Stephan, a Republican, and his Democratic challenger, Dennis Moore, Johnson County district attorney, continually interrupted each other and moderator Tom Leathers during the appearance. The forum was taped for a Johnson County cable television channel.
Moore questioned Stephan about the lawsuit, which had been filed by Stephan's former
employee, Marcia Tomson. Tomson was reported to have agreed to drop her initial lawsuit for a $24,000 cash payment. Meanwhile, Stephan said that he had been unjustly accused in what he called a campaign of negativism by Moore.
Several times Moore's remarks drew derogatory comments from members of the audience, about 200 people attending a men's fellowship dinner at The Village Church, 6641 Mission Road.
"My opponent said he did not want to be personal." Stephan said. "When you call somebody a liar you are being very personal. That's unfortunate."
Stephan said that in 7½ years Moore had not complained, and added that he was a war-scarred
veteran who would put up with Moore's tactics
that who would put up with Moore's tactics Leathers, publisher of The Squire, a Kansas City area newspaper, asked Moore whether StephanIPP was criticized for making a mistake. Moore said that it was an question of one mistake, but that a person's statements reflected on his credibility.
"The people have a great capacity for forgiveness," Moore said, adding that foregiveness did not extend to officials who stonewalled questions people considered important.
It was then that Stephan accused Moore of calling him a liar and said he had answered all the questions time and again.
