No surprises expected in Bush speech tonight
The Associated Press
Combined with the budget, the address will set the stage for election-year battles with a Democratic-run Congress that is firing over his spending plan, which proposes more money for education, space, the environment and drugs while cutting financing for Medicare, college student loans, mass transit and farm subsidies.
WASHINGTON — President Bush will present a State of the Union address tonight offering an upbeat assessment of the nation's health and setting a goal of making U.S. students first in the world in science and math by the year 2000, officials said yesterday.
White House officials said that there were no major initiatives or surprises remaining for Bush's speech but that the president would prod lawmakers to complete work on the unfinished agenda of proposals he submitted last year, including a cut in capital
Much of the suspense of his remarks at 8 p.m., before a joint session of Congress was dampened by the unveiling of his $1.2 trillion budget plan, which outlined new initiatives where Bush wants to spend more money and areas where he wants to cut.
gains taxes.
"Obviously, we don't want to overstate expectations, don't want anyone to overexpand an agenda," said John Sunum, Bush's chief of staff.
Instead, he added. Bush will focus on budget issues and the new-familiar themes of clean-air legislation, child care, education, his crime-fighting package and the second phase of his anti-drug strategy.
Officials said Bush also would use the speech to call for a major effort to make U.S. students first in the world by the year 2000 in math and science — two areas where U.S. pupils traditionally rank below those of competing industrialized nations.
An assessment of the mathematical abilities of 13-year-olds last year found that just 40 percent of U.S. students could solve a two-step problem, compared to 78 percent of South Korean students.
In science, the congressional-
mandated assessment said that 42 percent of 13-year-old U.S. students could analyze experiments successfully, compared to 72 percent of the South Korean students.
Key witness names suspect in murders
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - The woman who said she was kidnapped in early December during a burglary that led to three murders identified Tyrone Baker as the gunman who greeted her when she opened the bedroom door in her neighbor's house that day.
However, Verne Horne, who testified that she and two other people, Lester and Nancy Haley, were taken by gimppoint from the affluent Westboro neighborhood to a wooded area east of Toppea, was unable to identify Baker during a line-up a few days after the murders.
Horne was the key witness in the preliminary hearing of Baker, 19, and Lisa Ann Pfannentiel, 18. Baker is charged with three counts of first-degree murder, and Pfannentiel is charged with one count of murder. He has also been charged with kidnapping, pending against them as well.
The hearing will determine whether the pair is to be bound over for trial.
Baker and Pfannenstiel are charged in the Dec. 3 shootings deaths of the Haleys and Ida Mae Dougherty, who was the Haleys' neighbor.
Horne testified that she and Nancy Haley went to Dougherty's house
because the morning newspaper was still outside and Dougherty did not answer the door.
When Baker took them to a wooded area in western Douglas County, however, Horne was able to buy enough time by talking to the gunman, she testified.
"I tried engaging him in conversation by asking him questions like, What brought you to this point in your life?"
About 200 yards down the road the gunman told the three to lie face down on the ground, but Horne said she refused.
She said that during the ride he told her that his wife had died and that he had a two-month-old baby, and the welfare services would not help him.
"He stopped the car at a ravine and told us to get out." she said.
Horne then persuaded the gunman to check on Dougherty, convincing him that the three of them would remain where they were until he killed him. He instantiated several times, but eventually returned to his car and耳。
She then told the Haleys to hide while she ran for help, and the couple went to the store.
"That's the last time I saw the Haleys alive," she said.
Elkins said several hundred Jewish families were expected to come into the Kansas City area this year.
about because they can't support them all," she said. "We have a considerable amount of Russian Jewry here in the Kansas City area."
She said that it was very difficult to provide for all the families.
Katzman said other communities also worked to distribute large numbers of political refugees from the Soviet Union.
Andrea Katzman, a KU student who met the Voykhaskysk last semester, the Kansas City area was a good place for Soviet Jews to live because there was a large Soviet Jewish community.
"It's very difficult to make that psychological switch," she said.
"The New York Jewish community in America wants to spread them
When the Voykhanskys came to Lawrence last April, they had only $400. But with help from the Jewish Community Center of Lawrence, they were able to get settled.

"We're trying to not ask them for help, but when we really need it, we will ask them," he said.
