LOS ANGELES — Children trooped back to earthquake-battered schools and fright ened residents started straggling home from soggy, makeshift settlements Tuesday as the city kept creeping toward a warped normali ty- President Clinton asked Congress for $7.5 billion to rebuild highways and get families and businesses back on their feet following the Jan. 17 earthquake whose death toll rose Tuesday to 61. And the city's 5.6 million commuters re fined techniques for threading the maze of crumpled concrete, driving long detours, car pooling and riding the train. Lesson plans gave way to counseling ses sions and group discussions as the 640,000- student Los Angeles Unified School District resumed classes for the first time since the Friday before the quake. "I guess it's safer to be here than at home," said 14-year-old Monica Renderos at James Monroe High School in Sepulveda, near the quake's epicenter in the San Fernan do Valley. "At home you run around like an idiot. Here they tell you what to do. "If they say it's safe here, it's safe." District officials weren't immediately able to provide attendance figures. Several principals in the hard-hit San Fer nando Valley reported attendance was 40 percent to 60 percent of normal. About 65,000 students had no classrooms to return to because 76 schools were closed by quake damage. There were signs that thousands of people were finally leaving Red Cross shelters and tent cities where they had been living be cause fear of aftershocks kept them from re turning to homes that were declared safe. Rain and temperatures in the high 30s ap peared to accomplish what bureaucrats, priests and social workers had failed to do in days of pleading. "Yes, I'm afraid, but I'm sick," said Jer- man Ruiz, as he left a tent at Lanark Recre ation Center with his wife and daughter, bound for a creaky apartment. "What can 1 do?" About one-third of all people in tents and shelters over the weekend were "voluntan ly" homeless, said James Lee Witt, director the Federal Emergency Management Agent The rest had homes that really were damaged to safely live in. The total number of people living in Rt, Cross shelters and National Guard tents4 dined overnight from 15,672 to 11,788, agi cies reported. FEMA estimated that 14,110 houses apartment units are uninhabitable. T agency has received 64,674 applications fi assistance ranging from temporary rent sot sidies to grants and loans Long lines have been reported at state® employment offices after people tried back to work, only to find their business closed. "I've never done this. 1 don't even what I'm doing," said Maria Johnson,61 who came to the unemployment office in Fernando because the J.C. Penney stor where she has worked for 21 years was damaged to open. "We don't know if it will reopen ornot she said. "We just have to wait." Clinton Continued from Page 1 Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas She was given a standing ova tion when Clinton referred to her work on health care. In the formal Republican re sponse, Senate GOP Leader Bob Dole signalled a fierce election- year battle lies ahead over health care, as he sharply criticized Clin ton's plan. "More cost. Less choice. More taxes. Less quality. More govern ment control. Less control for you and your family," Dole said in re marks prepared for after Clinton completed his speech. "That's what the president's government- run plan is likely to give you." Dole called instead for a more modest proposal that he said would offer greater access to health care for all. . Clinton's speech was punctuat ed numerous times by applause and Democrats gave him an occa sional standing ovation. Stony- faced Republicans kept their hands in their laps as the presi dent discussed his prime objec tives for the next year. Clinton took advantage of the improving economy to call for Congress to "continue our jour ney of renewal" by enacting the remainder of his domestic pro gram. "We replaced drift and dead lock with renewal and reform," Clinton said. He addressed the nation at a time when both the economy and his own approval ratings are on the upswing. "My fellow Americans, what is the state of the union? It is grow ing stronger. But it must be stronger still," he said. Clinton devoted scant attention to foreign affairs in his speech, al though he underscored U.S. deter mination to support Russia's struggle with democracy and eco nomic reforms. And he said his administration was determined to build a relationship with China, adding "we will insist on clear signs" of human rights improve ments. One danger that still confronts the world, he said, is "fanatics who seek to cripple the world's cities with terror." In the speech, the president made a strong pitch for overhaul ing the nation's welfare system at the same time health-care is re formed. His welfare proposal would put a two-year limit on benefits, coupling it with new education and job training programs. Clinton said the package also would withhold certain benefits to pregnant teens. "We will say to teen-agers, 'If you have a child out of wedlock, we will no longer give you a check to set up a separate household. We want families to stay together." He also promised to go after parents who don't pay their child support. . "People who bring chil dren into this world can't just walk away," he said. Welfare reform was given added emphasis in the speech af ter Senate Finance Committee Chairman Daniel Patrick Moyni- han of New York complained about inattention to the problem. His committee will handle both health care and welfare reform. Aides said the White House will not introduce a welfare re form bill until the spring, after the health care measure has made ton's agenda remained his care plan — which would extai coverage all Americans, largely! requiring all employers to pay ; percent of the cost. He called for bipartisansiij port for the effort. "This yean will make history by reformk the health care system." Waving a pen in the air,G ton declared: } Tf you send me - islation that does not guarar every American private heal: surancc that can never beta!: away, you will force me tot this pen, veto the legislation,; we'll come right back herea; start over again." • ;| It was Clinton's third for- speech to Congress — his spee. last Feb. 17 outlining hiseconoi package and the Sept. 22hea care message Vol. 93 Q The 1 pull tO] themse controv was feal Wednes er.

Clearly the centerpiece of Clin- 1 le began with a joke, refenr to the last time he spoke toajfr session and was forced to adi for a few minutes because wrong speech was in TelePrompTer. "I'm not at all surer* speech is in the TelePrompl: tonight," he said with a grin, I sure hope we can speak at; the state of the union." ARTS & CRftFTS Matting & Framing Wed.
