"I'm asking you to not to look the other way," Bush said in an address beamed live from the White House to thousands of schools across the country. Saying everyone knows someone who has a problem, Bush added, "I'm asking you to find someone who needs you.

And offer to help. I'll say it again: If you're not in trouble, help someone who is. On another front, as Bush made his speech the White House uncorked a toughly worded, partisan attack against congressional Dcm-ocrats who are criticizing the administration's anti-drug efforts as inadequate and underfunded. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said Democrats were trying "to play price-tag politics" with the administration's plan, which calls for more prisons, more prosecutors, tougher sentences and aid to Latin American nations to, help combat drug "Their first answer was to tax more," Fitzwater said of the Dem House OKs $23 million for Wyo water projects million for Wyoming water projects during the coming fiscal year.

Bush "emphasized that the American people share his hope for the success of the reform movement in the Soviet Union," the White House said in a short statement after the 15-minute meeting.

Bush told Yeltsin his administration enjoys a "very positive relationship" with Gorbachev and reiterated support for perestroika, or the restructuring of Soviet economic and political life, the White House said. The 58-year-old Yeltsin, ousted as Moscow's Communist Party chief in late 1987 and then dumped from the ruling Politburo, was elected to parliament with overwhelming popular support in a contested election. He arrived in the United States on a private tour Saturday. After meeting for nearly an hour with Secretary of State James Baker, Yeltsin said he did not expect the United States to loan money to the Kremlin, but that he wanted American companies to invest in the Soviet Union. In a statement, the State Department said that "offered his views on the kinds of changes that are taking place in the Soviet Union, his assessment of where the reform process stood, and of what would be needed for the reform process to move for-Please sec YELTSIN, A14 munity development block grant available through the state Economic Development and Stabilization Board to purchase and remodel a vacant motel on the east end of town to be used as a 12-bed alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Officials in Hungary said thousands more East Germans were arriving in that communist country, which opened its doors to the West at midnight Sunday when about 60,000 East German vacationers were in Hungary. The officials suggested that the flow of refugees to the West had peaked, saying the number of East German visitors was usual for this time of year. Hungarian officials sought to soft-pedal suggestions that most of the more than 50,000 East Germans reported on vacation in Hungary could join others who had formally requested to leave for a new life in the West. They said only 210 East Germans registered overnight with authorities at a refugee camp in Hungary coordinating the exodus Please see REFUGEES, A14 ROBERT BY Kl) Offers alternate proposal Democratic drug package draws threat of Bush veto WASHINGTON (AP) Top administration officials said Tuesday they would urge President Bush to veto a Democratic plan to expand his anti-drug fight by $2.2 billion, saying it "simply throws money at the problem." Democrats stuck with their proposal, which would beef up treatment, prevention and law enforcement initiatives, saying it was a badly needed response to the growing problem of illegal drug use and drug-related violence. Administration officials talked ef a possible veto as Bush made a live televised appeal from the White-House to millions of schoolchildren, urging them to stay away from drugs and telling them that refusing drugs "won't make you a nerd." Democrats said they would finance their proposal with across-the-board cuts in hundreds of federal programs, and sought to graft the proposal to an unrelated appropriations bill on the Senate floor.

White House officials met privately with Senate Republican leaders as both sides held closed-door meetings on the latest round of political maneuvering over the drug issue. Alternatives to the package offered by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd, emerged. The clash came as the president's drug policy coordination, William Bennett, told a House committee the administration envisioned its anti-drug efforts costing $50 billion over five years, and as a separate Senate panel approved a Pentagon spending bill containing more than $1 billion for anti-drug efforts. The White House's Office of Management and Budget distributed a statement saying that Bush had "made the tough choices" when he unveiled his $7.9 billion anti-drug plan last week.

"Here is a city that sponsored a resolution, sent it down to Washington saying we support a strong national federal drug program," Councilman Susan Johnson said Tuesday. "Then when a center is proposed here for alcohol and drug treatment we turn our backs on it. We want a strong program, but not in our community."

He was appointed to a six-year term on the ESC in 1985 by Gov. Ed Herschler. His term expires March 1, 1991. Lummis said he hasn't discussed his intentions with GOP party officials and has no idea whether he has any name recognition around the state. "It may be lousy," he said.

Officials said the emigre flood could exceed 15,000. About 1 1,000 had arrived in West Germany by Tuesday night, Bavarian border officials said. Communist East Germany issued a strong, formal protest to Hungary's reform-minded government for permitting the exodus and demanded the movement be halted.

Both East Germany and Hungary are Warsaw Pact nations. Most of the new East German emigres are skilled young workers and their families, fed up with con-ditions in their hard-line homeland. Many went straight to relatives already living in West Germany. Others were being temporarily put up at refugee camps.
