The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — A man arrested after an Overland Park police officer was shot and wounded early Monday was charged yester-day with one count of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer.
The charge was filed against Kenneth L. Friberg, 23, of Lickington, Mo., in Johnson County District Court. Ted Baird, an assistant district attorney, said Frigberg also was charged with one count of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer for
allegedly pointing a gun at another policeman.
Bond was set at $500,000, Baird said.
Officer David A. Moore, 28, was in serious condition in intensive care Tuesday at Shawnee Mission Medical Center after surgery on his jaw, the police department said.
He was wounded early Monday after stopping a car, apparently unaware that it had been reported stolen in Houston, Mo. Police said Moore was shot as he approached the

car.
Friberg also is wanted for questioning in the theft of the 1982 Honda Accord and for violating parole on a Missouri felony, said Texas County, Mo. Sheriff John Vandiver.
He also is a suspect for a break-in Sunday in Summersville, Mo., at a house owned by his foster parents, Vandiver said.
Committee to propose Kansas death penalty
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - The House Federal and State Affairs Committee voted yesterday to introduce legislation that would reinstitute the death penalty in Kansas.
The committee took the action at the request of Rick Kready, an aide to Gov. Mike Hayden. The governor is a strong supporter of capital punishment and has promised to push for passage of a death penalty bill this year.
Hayden proposed death penalty legislation in 1987 and 1989, but both times the Senate rejected a bill on
votes of 22-18.
Under Hayden's proposal, death by lethal injection would be a possible penalty for premeditated murder, murder of a law enforcement officer, murder of a criminal trial witness and murders committed during kidnappings, rapes, sodomy or the operation of a drug trafficking ring.
The plan also calls for a two-step trial for capital murder defendants. The first phase would determine guilt or innocence, and the second would determine whether the defendant would receive a life prison sentence or the death penalty as punishment.
New Ritz-Carlton to replace Alameda Plaza Hotel in KC
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The nation's 12th Ritz-Carlton is set to open in a city where room rates at luxury hotels are considered low.
Other local hotel officials are watching the Ritz-Carlton developments with interest.
What had been the Alameda Plaza Hotel will officially open Monday as the Ritz-Carlton, Kansas City.
"Hopelessly, they will play a leadership role in setting rates," said Mike Brennan, general manager of the Allis Plaza in downtown Kansas City. "Rates here are low due to the level of competition, supply and demand."
The current single occupancy rate
ar what is now the Alameda ranges from $105 to $149 a night. The Allis Plaza's rate is from $89 to $105, the Hyatt Regency Crown Center $144, the Westin Crown Center $114 to $144, the Kansas City Marriott Plaza $129 and the Embassy Suites $129.
Steve Trent, general manager at the Hyatt Regency, and the Ritz probably would push up the rate structure in Kansas City, to the benefit of all hotels.
"But more than that, their presence here will help Kansas City attract more upper-end convention and conference business, because they're the Ritz and they're the top of the line," Trent said.
Washburn hires new president, paper says
OPEKEA - Washburn University has hired Hugh L. Thompson, chancellor of the University of Indiana at Kokomo, as its new president, the Topkea Capital-Journal reported yesterday.
However, Ann Garvin, chairman of the Washburn Board of Regents, declined to confirm that Thompson had been selected. She said the board had not voted on the matter. The newspaper said a meeting was scheduled tonight to take a formal vote, although the decision was made on a 5-4 vote in a closed meeting last week.
The paper said Thompson, 55,
already had signed a three-year
contract with a first-year salary of
$97,000. He is supposed to begin his
duties on Aug. 1, the paper said.
Thompson, who has headed the Kokomo branch of Indiana University for the past 10 years, would succeed Robert L. Burns, who has been acting president since John Duggan died in November 1988.
Thompson also served as president of the Detroit Institute of Technology from 1977-1980, and Siena Heights College in Adrian, Mich., from 1971-77.
