ACLU wants veterans' group removed from cross case

   SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A federal judge says he is inclined to reject a request by the American Civil Liberties Union asking that a veterans' group be left out of discussions on how to modify a war memorial cross on federal land.
   U.S. District Court Judge Larry Burns said during a hearing Friday that he will issue his ruling soon.
   He says he feels the Mount Soledad Memorial Association should continue to intervene as a party in the case.
   The association maintains the cross, which a federal court deemed to be an unconstitutional mixing of government and religion.
   Lawyer Jeff Mateer for the Mount Soledad Memorial Association says the veterans' group erected the 29-foot cross in 1954 on a San Diego mountain top and has contractual rights to decide the future of the memorial.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Oklahoma State Board of Education is expected to consider waivers for public schools in the tornado-ravaged community of Moore.

The State Board of Education meets Thursday in Oklahoma City. It's slated to consider waivers for Moore Public Schools relating to instructional days and filing deadlines for certain reports.

The Central Oklahoma chapter of the American Red Cross is also expected to attend the meeting to discuss storing donated supplies after a monstrous tornado hit Moore Monday and killed 24 people, including 10 children.

Seven of the children were pulled from the rubble of the Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore.
