Another child disappears in Atlanta

United Press International
ATLANTA — Police said today
they are investigating the dis
appearance of a 14-year-old Atlan
ta boy, but the case has not been
turned over to a special task force
investigating the cases of 20 slain
or missing black children.
Police released a photograph of
Mario Andre Kirk, who lived in
south Atlanta, site of most of the
disappearances and killings.
He was reported missing by his
mother last Thursday, the same
day Curtis Walker disappeared.
Walker’s name was added to the
official list of slain and missing
children last Friday.
The boy’s mother, Jimmie Nell
Kirk, said the boy rarely attended
Columbia High School, where he
was enrolled, and had run away
“off and on” for the past year.
She said she thinks her son may
be in Decatur with a man he had
helped repair cars, but police have
been unable to locate the man.
Mayor Maynard Jackson,
meanwhile, said he is pleased to
get federal assistance in social and
technical areas in the hunt for the
child killer, but his hope of getting
what he really needs — $1.5 mil
lion in cash — is fading.
Jackson, who met Monday with
the newly assigned federal ser
vices liaison in the cases of 20 mis
sing and dead children, said he
believed a meeting with President
Reagan was still being considered.
but the prospects of receiving
money looked dim.

WASHINGTON — The na
tion’s governors Tuesday gave
qualified support to President
Reagan’s proposed budget cuts,
but said they will “vigorously
oppose” attempts to shift the costs
to state and local taxpayers.
After 24 hours of partisan hag
gling, the governors adopted a re
solution that said, “We are pre
pared to accept budget cuts.”
But they insisted state govern
ments must have time to adjust to
the cuts and increased flexibility
in administering federal pro
grams. They also urged the feder
al government move toward tak
ing over all welfare and Medicaid
costs.
In return, they agreed local
goverments should assume the
current federal share of law en
forcement, education and trans
portation.
Of the 49 governors attending
the winter meeting of the National
Governors Association, only
Govs. William O’Neill, D-Conn.,
and Joseph Brennan, D-Maine,
opposed the resolution.
“We won’t know about $6.3 bil
lion in the cuts until March 10, and
I’m not ready to give a blank check
until I know where they are, ” said
Brennan, referring to the date
when Reagan is to announce the
rest of his budget cuts.
It was evident some governors
had different interpretations of
what the resolution meant.
“This does not constitute an en
dorsement of any of the specific
cuts,” said Gov. Brendan Bryne,
D-N.J., “We question some of
them.”
But Gov. Pierre DuPont, R-
Del., said, “I don’t think it’s
strong enough. I think it’s time we
stood up and recognized that we
have a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to address some of the
fundamental problems facing this
country. ”
Gov. Edmund Brown Jr., D-
Calif., held out for language in the
resolution saying, “We will vigor
ously oppose any attempts to shift
costs to the state and local tax
payers.
“We don’t want a tax shift and
we don’t want a shell game,” said

Brown. “We don’t want, just is
the federal budget is going dowo,
the state budget going up.”
On Monday, the governon
took their problems directly to
Reagan, meeting with the presi
dent in private for more than a
hour in the East Room of tke
White House.
Leaders of the National Gov
ernors’ Association told reporter
“it was obvious to us the president
feels the preferable route is fortte
states to manage Medicaid d
other welfare programs.”
Gov. George Busbee of Geor
gia, the association’s chairnran,
said, “We feel the president ir
trying to deal forthrightly withom
economic problems and the gov
ernors are supportive of that
effort. ”
He predicted they would te
able to draft a bipartisan resolu
tion of support for Reagarn
program.
However, Busbee emphasized
for the second time in as many
days the states must be free from
restrictions on federal aid ifitisto
be cut, saying reductions without
“flexibility” were “totally un
acceptable.’’
The strongest exchange during
the East Room meeting was re
ported to have been between
Reagan and Gov. Hugh Carey ol
New York.

Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. ol
California said there was ‘‘a great
risk” the president’s proposal to
limit Medicaid payments “will
translate into a tax increase at the
local level.”
At the end of the meeting, dur
ing which Busbee said Reagan lis
tened more than he talked, the
president was quoted as saying,
“We won’t be able to meet all of
your concerns, but we will deal
with as many as we can.”
OPEN
In their talk with Reagan, the
governors informally agreed to
help him get “phase one” of his
package — the program cuts -
through Congress if the White
House in return backed a “phase
two.”
