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. Artiluc Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.

Webber recommended that underaged drinkers stay away from Westport because police would be cracking down on illegal drinking.
A legal alternative is the third annual Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade. The parade will feature between 60 and 70 floats, bands and local dignitaries, said Gene Shauhnessy, parade chairman.
The parade will begin at 11:39 a.m., near the Flamingo Club, 501 N. 91st, st., and will head down Locust Street to 2nd Street, where it will continue across the Kansas River bridge.
Shaughnessy said the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza Factory Outlet would sponsor a 5-kilometer run. The race will be the morning of the parade at the Kansas River levee near Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St.
At 6th Street, the parade will turn right and continue to Tennessee Street, where it will turn left for one block to 7th street. The street will end near 7th and Wisconsin streets.
On a larger scale, the 17th annual Kansas City, Mo., St. Patrick's Day Parade is expected to draw about 300,000 people, said Thomas F. Mahurin, parade volunteer.

President Senate OK air bill
Leaders hope move will quell opponents
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and electric power plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
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.
Porter said the administration did attempt to expedite Senate usage and seek a similar agreement in the House, where clean-air isolation remains in committee.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the presi-

"His response was that he knew assouri had a death penalty and did not, and that we would not find anything in Missouri," aplai said.
"At that point, he said, 'I can give em the whole package,'" Napier did.
Later that day, Napier and Grisam met again.
Grissom told him that he, Thibodid a man named George were solved in the killings, Napier said.
During cross-examination yesterday, deputy public defender Michael arreese questioned the reliability of apier's testimony because Napier did not take notes during his discussion with Grisom.
"So your written report is not a complete, accurate account?" Bare asked Nanier.
"That's correct," Napier said.
In other testimony, Gary Dirkas, a chemist for the Johnson County lab lime, said public hairs taken from Grismat by authorizes in Dalton to unmethylate from those and by investigators in Rush and town's beds.
