More arrests are expected in child pornography sting
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government says more indictments are expected as if pursues child pornography collude. In a filing, they have netted more than 100 people.
Attorney General Edwin Meese III disclosed at a news conference Monday that dozens of U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigators and Customs agents had been operating undercover as suppliers of kiddie porn.
In operations launched after completion of a report a year ago by the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, postal inspectors and customs service agents called mailing lists of child pornography collectors which had been confiscated in previous raids.
In the past few months, the investigations have resulted in more than 100 indictments against people who are accused of violating the Child Protection Act of 1984. Each faces up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 if
convicted.
Five Kansans were among those indicted in the sting operations, according to federal authorities. They included Harold D. Lamb, Mackville, who was charged with nine counts of sending or receiving confiscated notes or negatives showing minors involved in sexually explicit conduct.
The other Kansans were each charged with one count of sending or receiving pornographic materials involving minors, authorizes said. They are Barry A. Smith, 34, Lene R. Sullivan, 28, and Wichita postal clerk; Kenneth G. Slowinsky, 32, Overland Park; and Thomas A. Thompson, 40, Salina.
Sixteen of the indictments were returned in Virginia, 12 in Illinois, 11 in New Jersey and eight in California. More indictments were expected, officials from the Justice Department and Postal Service said.
In one operation, dubbed Project Looking Glass. postal inspectors sent
out letters advertising child pornography to prospective buyers.
The inspectors printed letters on stationery from a fictitious undercover mail order firm, Far Eastern Trading Co. Ltd, and sent catalogues of sexual material involving children to those who responded to the letter. Federal search warrants were issued following delivery of the materials so could be recovered. The pornographic materials consisted mostly of magazines, videotapes and movies seized in earlier raids on pornography traffickers.
In a parallel investigation called Operation Borderline, customs agents sent brochures that advertised photo sets and magazines, which were mailed from a dummy Canadian corporation.
Child pornography could never condoned by society, Meese said, nor could victimized children consent to it. He said child pornography affected everyone and that it victimized children.
Medicare rise may cost Kansas
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — An expected increase in federal Medicare insurance premiums of 38.5 percent for the next calendar year could cost Kansas $2 million, a state welfare official said yesterday.
yesterday.
Herman Haffenstein, finance director for the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, said the cost would be incurred because the state pays the premiums of those who receive aid under its programs.
Federal Department of Health and Human Services officials said Monday the increase has not been approved formally by the agency, but they said they expected the figure to be close to the final proposal.
Federal officials blame the need for the increase on skyrocketing doctors's bills, and Haffenstein said
state officials anticipated that the premiums would increase.
"I think we expected an increase," Haffenstein said. "We didn't expect that large of an increase."
Part of the expense would be incurred during the current fiscal year, which began July 1, and part during Fiscal Year 1989. This meant SRS officials must go to the Legislature when it convenes in January to ask for some supplemental funds, Haffeinstein said.
Haffenstein said the $2 million was necessary to prevent the state from perhaps spending between $6 million and $8 million for additional medical services for welfare recipients. If the state did not pay the premium increases, some recipients will not be covered by the federal insurance, and medical expenses they have will have to be paid for by the state, he
said.
Michael O'Keefe, Gov. Mike Hayden's budget director, said he did not know whether Hayden would build part of the increase into his fiscal 1989 budget, noting the agency has not submitted its request yet. He said the agency also had the option of cutting other costs internally to come up with the money for the premiums.
The announcement also sparked concern among state lawmakers, said State Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Lenexa, chairman of the Senate Means Committee. Bogina said he agreed with SRS officials on the need to appropriate money and said the Legislature probably will take up the matter at the beginning of its next session.
"We'll have to have some kind of supplemental allocation," Bogina said.
'Kansas' crew revamps the Capitol

Well, that happens when the Capitol goes Hollywood.
TOPEKA — The governor's desk is in the secretary of state's office. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation works out of a legislative committee
"We had a good dry run here," said Joe Ellis, the film's production manager. "This is just fabulous."
About 100 members of the cast and crew of the movie "Kansas" invaded the Capitol on Friday to film inside the building and on the Statehouse grounds, with plans of continuing shooting in Topeka until the end of next week. Trans-World Entertainment, the Los Angeles company making the film, has been shooting in northeast Kansas since late July.
Filming started on the south side of the Capitol in the morning. After a barbecue lunch on the first floor, the crew set up for some interior shots. However, crew members decided to shoot on location in Rossville, about 10 miles northwest of Topeka, to "take advantage of whatever sunshine we've got."
The movie tells the story of a drifter who travels through the Midwest, becomes a fugitive and gets involved with a farmer's daughter. It stars Matt Dillon and Andrew McCarthy.
Two other productions have been filmed in the area in the last five years, the television movie "The Day After" and the feature film "Nice Girls Don't Explode." Also, the television miniseries "Murder Ordained" was shot in and near Emporia.
Jerry Jones, film coordinator for the Kansas Film Commission, said the filming of "Kansas" is evidence of the film's improved stature in Hollywood.
Jones said that in fiscal 1986, companies spent $1 million on productions in Kansas, compared with $6 million for fiscal 1987, which ended June 30.
