State Rep. Jessie Branson who had fought and won legislative battles for child-safety restraints said she was getting a lot of calls about the lack of enforcement of the law. Officials said they would look into the charge.
Rain mixed with snow greeted early risers and there was evidence that heavier snow was on the way. Temperatures were in the upper 30s but seemed destined to drop sharply overnight. Kansas City already was getting sleet at mid-morning.

Mayor Ernest Angino had figured heavily in the proposal and a Dec. 1 meeting was planned to elect a chairman and begin the goal-setting process.
