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." • ;|
