(AP) - Rais- ing hopes among parents who want preschool for all, Presi- dent Barack Obama on Thurs- day rolled out a plan to vastly. expand government-funded early childhood while keeping the price tag a secret. Republicans, wary of high costs and questionable outcomes, made clear they have no intention of signing a blank check. Setting up yet another clash with Republicans over spending and the proper scope of govern- ment, Obama in his State of the Union address proposed work- ing with states to make high- quality preschool available to every American child. Two days later, he played blocks and gave fist-bumps to kids in a preschool classroom at the College Heights Early Childhood Learning Cen- ter in Decatur, casting the plan as part of a moral imperative to give every child a shot at success.. "The size of your paycheck shouldn't determine your child's future," Obama told about 600 teachers and parents at the Deca- tur Community Recreation Cen- ter, singling out Georgia as a model for making universal preschool a priority. "Let's fix this. Let's make sure none of our kids start out the race of life already a step behind." The White House offered the first details about Obama's plan Thursday, describing it as a "continuum of high-quality early learning for a child, beginning at birth and continuing to 'age 5." The government would fund pub- lic preschool for any 4-year-old wlose family income is 200 per- cent or less of the federal poverty level - a more generous thresh- fl-U H old than the current Head Start program, which generally serves kids from families below 130 percent of the poverty line. All 50 states and the federal govern- ment would chip in. Obama also proposed letting communities and child care providers compete for grants to serve children 3 and younger, starting from birth. And once a state has established its program for 4-year-olds, it can use funds from the program to offer full- day kindergarten, the plan says. Conspicuously absent from Obama's plan were any details about the cost, a key concern among Republicans. Obama's aides have insisted the new programs would not add to the nation's nearly $16.5 trillion debt, but they won't say what else will be cut to offset the cost, offering only vague allusions to cutting entitlement spending and clos- ing loopholes.

Di1omat claims Iran has new atomic tech. U.N. talks fail to reach deal to restart investigation VIENNA (AP) - Adding weight to its announcement of a nuclear upgrade, Tehran has shown high-level U.N. officials high-tech equipment positioned at its main uranium enrichment site meant to vast- ly accelerate output of mate- rial that can be used for both reactor fuel and atomic arms, a senior diplomat said Thursday. The diplomat spoke to The Associated Press shortly after the officials returned from Tehran, acknowledging that their latest in a series of trips to the Iranian capital that began over a year ago again failed to reach a deal to restart an inves- tigation into suspicions that Iran is pursuing nuclear arms. Herman Naeckerts, who headed the International Atom- ic Energy Agency team that visited Iran, said "remaining differences" scuttled attempts to finalize an agreement on how such an investigation should be conducted. He declined to say whether there was progress. The IAEA wants the probe to be open-ended, something strenuously opposed by Tehran, which denies it wants nuclear weapons and says it is interest- ed in the atom only as an energy source and for research. With expectations for suc- cess low even before the start of the latest negotiating attempt, interest focused on Iran's move to install a new generation of centrifuges at Natanz, its main uranium enriching site south- east of Tehran. Iran announced the start of installations during the IAEA team's one-day visit Wednes- day at about the same time that the diplomat said the group was shown "a small number" of the machines at the site. The diplo- mat said those centrifuges were ready to be installed. The diplo- mat, who closely follows Iran's nuclear program, demanded anonymity because his informa- tion was confidential. The new-generation centri- fuges can enrich uranium four to five times faster than Iran's present working model. Experts say Iran already has, enough enriched uranium for several weapons if it is further enriched. Any move to enrich faster will rile Israel, which sees Iran's nuclear program as an existen- tial threat and has said it would use all means to stop it from reaching weapons capability. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that the world has until this summer - at the latest - to keep Iran from building abomb. Italso islikelyto hurtchances of progress at talks in Kazakh- stan later this month between Iran and six world powers seek- ing to blunt Iran's enrichment program. Iran in turns wants an easing of sanctions imposed over its enrichment program before it is ready to reduce it. The failure of either side to make the initial move hasled to a series of failed negotiations. Nonproliferation expert Mark Fitzpatrick said Iran's centri- fuge upgrade may be a further signal that it is determined not to blink first. "Installation of the more effi- cient centrifuges will probably contributetoIran'sunwillingness to compromise," said Fitzpatrick, aformersenior U.S. State Depart- ment official now with the Inter- national Institute for Strategic Studies. "It bolsters Iran's belief that time is on its side and that the West will eventually have to give in to the pressure of Iran's grow- ingenrichment capacity. 0
