Larry,
It looks to me that the lights in the room were colored, weren't they? If yes, you are fighting windmills. If you are shooting in the ambient colored light, - you should expect photos with the corresponding colors. Why would you want to change them so that they look as if there was a day light? Even if those were not colored and there is a difference between s hooting under tungsten light and under colored lights, even with the tungsten light, I think it is ok to have some yellowish-reddish tone. If you are still determined to adjust the colors beyond what WB slider allows, - you can do it in LR via just changing each color separately ( in the menu that is lower).
