Biden says he thinks the campaign financing system "stinks," which is why he has fought for public financing of campaigns But Brady said she didn't think the public wants to pay for campaigns. "I have chosen to say no to that system," she said. "Joe Biden has chosen to buy into it." main contention, that Congress needs major reform and that Biden is part of the problem. One of the problems she cites is the influence of political action committee campaign contributions on congressional decisions.

Joseph R. Biden Jr. confronted the character issue Tuesday in the face of attacks by his opponent M. Jane Brady. Responding for the first time to her suggestions that he doesn't have the character to be a U.S.

Biden told viewers that the 50-cent tokens set for bridge By JEFF MONTGOMERY Staff reporter NEW CASTLE Delaware Memorial Bridge users will pay 50 cents for the bridge's new tollgate tokens, the Delaware River and Bay Authority voted Tuesday. Commuters still will be able to buy cheaper, monthly "commutation tickets" for 37 'a cents each. But ticket users risk having unused tickets expire at the end of each month, unlike undated tokens.

Full toll for a passenger car or small truck is 75 cents. "We think, from a popularity point of view, people will move to tokens because of convenience and time-savings," said authority Executive Director William J. Miller. Commuters accounted for more than 2.4 million of the nearly 19.3 million vehicles that crossed the bridge during the year that ended Sept. 30, a new report states.

Miller said bridge officials hops, to begin selling tokens in $20, 40-coin packs in January at bridge tollgates. Drivers will be encouraged to use the discount coins in recently installed matic toll-collection booths. Although the authority plans to retain commuter tickets, the tokens will replace discount passes sold to senior citizens and shoppers. Seniors already pay 50 cents for discount tickets. In a separate development, federal legislation to allow use of surplus authority revenues for economic development in Dela-; ware and southern New Jersey is awaiting the president's signa--ture, authority officials said.

Bridge and Cape May-Lewes Ferry, revenues are expected to top routine expenses by more than $9 million this year. Authority members traditionally tap each year's cash surplus for major repairs and improvement projects, rather than financing the work. Debate focuses on congressional pension, pay term Cohen, meanwhile, said government ought to focus on violent crimes and eliminate drug laws. All three candidates supported 12-year limits on congressional terms, with Cohen saying that politics in Washington had become "stagnant" with a re-election rate of about 98 percent. "Now we all know they want the job they just don't want it too long," said Mike Sigman, First State News news director and moderator of the debate.

ought to be cut from the federal budget. "We could cut congressional pensions altogether and cut the budget by one-tenth of 1 percent," Carper said after the debate. "That's not an answer." Williams, meanwhile, criticized Carper's vote in favor of a congressional pay raise, saying that Carper, "let the horses out of the barn and kept a small pony for yourself by refusing to accept the pay raise in spite of his vote. Carper supported the pay hike but called for limits on honorariums, or unrestricted speaking fees from special interest groups. "Taxpayers are going to be better off paying us and not having the tobacco lobby pay us," he said.

By WILLIAM ZAFEROS Dover Bureau reporter NEW CASTLE Rep. Thomas R. Carper asked where Republican challenger Ralph O. Williams would cut the federal budget Tuesday night, and Williams said he would start with congressional pensions. But Williams never got more specific, and Carper leaped on the vagueness of the reply.

Williams, who debated Carper at Wilmington College along with Libertarian Richard Cohen at a League of Women VotersHeritage Cablevision debate, said that "long-range planning is a requirement of a good business venture," adding that "pensions for U.S. congressmen and areas like that" 15 appointed to children's council OAKVIEW VANITY WITH TOP Solid Oak doors and drawer fronts 4 89.95 Reg. 119.95 Personal Injury Attorneys Since 1969 ANNOUNCE MANY OTHER STYLES A SIZES ON SALE LAUAN BIFOLD DOORS THE OPENING OF A SUBURBAN OFFICE to serve Brandywine Hundred Clients at Veale Road Professional Center Veale and Silverside Roads 12 Noon to 8:00 P.M.
