TOPEKA — Debate on a transportation-bill turned-abortion legislation raged into the night yesterday in the House before it was vetoed. The watered-down version of the bill. A final vote is suspended for today.
Med Center bill
Cries of legislative rules violations erupted in the House yesterday when the bill came to the floor.
Lucas, vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, and committee chairman State Rep Rex Crowell, R-Longton, used the committee to get the abortion bill to the floor. Twelve co-sponsors of the abortion legislation hold seats on the committee.
The House Transportation Committee substituted a parental notification bill for a Senate bill that would have dealt with the use of vehicle registration fees by county treasurers. The abortion bill, introduced by State Rep. Artie Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.
Lucas said the committee process was flawed because there was no debate on the bill, which would

President, Senate OK air bill Leaders hope move will quell opponents
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and water plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
The Associated Press
The agreement, after more than three weeks of closed-door negotiations, was viewed as a middle ground likely to attract enough support to thwart continuing regional opposition in the looming Senate debate.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
But the compromise still is likely to counter stiff industry lobbying, urgely because of its estimated $20 billion annual cost to the economy.
Porter said the administration could attempt to expedite Senate passage and seek a similar agreement legislation remains in committees.
Some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining peaked provisions in the original senate bill that would have required stronger automobile emission controls to combat urban smog. Otherave volunted concern about he impact of acid rain controls.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step for our nation," his chief dogestig policy adviser.

'He (Grissom) made two fists and raised his knuckles and rubbed his eyes like he was trying to rub out a memory.'

Napier said that while questioning Grissom he called Morrison, who offered to ignore theft charges in Johnson County if Grissom would say what happened to the women.
"You'll dig them up," Napier said, recounting Grissom's words.
a memory."
Finally, Grissom said the women probably had died, Napier said.
Grissom told him that he, Thibode and a man named George were involved in the killings, Napier said.
"His response was that he knew Missouri had a death penalty and that Kansas did not, and that we would not find anything in Missouri," Napier said.
Later that day, Napier and Grissom met again.
During cross-examination yesterday, deputy public defender Michael Bartee questioned the reliability of Napier's testimony because Napier did not take notes during his discussion with Grissom.
"At that point, he said, 'I can give them the whole package,'" Napler said.
"So your written report is not a secure account?" Barrett napped New York.
"That's correct," Napier said.
In other testimony, Gary Dirkas, a chemist for the Johnson County crime lab, said public hairs taken from a man in his house were indistinguishable from those found by investigators in Rush and Brown's beds.
In his closing argument, Morrison said, "I suggest that these girls are just as dead as if we had presented the bodies in court."
Warren said, "The fact that somebody is dead is not sufficient evidence to bound somebody for trial."
