Applegate ate forms PAC By VIRGINIA BARAZIA Thomson News Service WASHINGTON Retiring Rep.

Douglas Applegate has formed a political action committee with the money left over in his congressional campaign fund. According to records filed with the Federal Election Commission, the Steubenville Democrat had $150,186 in the bank at the end of 1993. He notified the FEC on Jan. 21 that he is transforming his personal campaign committee to a so-called "multicandidate committee," commonly known as a PAC. Applegate said Tuesday he made the change so that he can donate up to $5,000 per election to political candidates.

Campaign committees can only donate only $1,000 per election. One of the first candidates to gain from the change will likely be Jim Hart, Applegate's longtime chief of staff who is running to take his place in Congress. The lawmaker is Hart's honorary campaign chairman. Other favorite Steubenville spots were the Riverboat Room, Damon's and the Jaggin Around Restaurant and Pub. The FEC is considering a new rule that would allow candidates to spend campaign funds to entertain constituents but would prohibit campaign spending to cover everyday expenses bills candidates would have to pay even if they weren't running for office.

Applegate is not the first Ohio lawmaker to transform his campaign committee into a political action committee. Democratic Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, who will also retire at the end of the year, created the Committee for Democratic Action in December 1989. At the end of 1993, the PAC had $91,840 in cash on hand. It raised $32,604 last year and spent $20,208.

Applegate said he does not intend to raise money for his PAC. "Once you're a former member, you don't have a lot of juice to raise it on," he said. Some retiring lawmakers, including Sens. Donald Riegle, D- a and Dennis DeConcini, D- have returned thousands of dollars in campaign contributions since announcing their retirements. But Applegate said he decided to keep his money in his PAC because it would be difficult to decide whose donations to return, and because none of his contributors have asked for refunds.

"They are trusting of my judgement," he said. Applegate raised $42,475 last year, with $12,725 coming individuals and $29,750 from PACs sponsored by special interest groups. His campaign committee spent $34,995 in 1993. The largest bills were for a July fund-raiser that featured a riverboat cruise on the Potomac. Applegate said about 250 constituents and "a couple" of lobbyists attended the event.

Ohioans paid $50 for a ticket and lobbyists were charged $500 each. Law firm must safeguard Clinton documents LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) In the wake of a report that documents in the Whitewater matter were shredded, prosecutor Robert Fiske directed Hillary Rodham Clinton's former law firm to safeguard all records, sources familiar with the investigation say. Fiske's office delivered to the Rose law firm "an extremely broadly worded" document called a notice subpoena that carries "an admonition against any shredding or destruction of materials," one source who is connected with the firm said today. The document issued this week "puts the firm on notice that these documents may be asked for, and therefore are to be said the source.

Fiske's admonition directs the firm to preserve information on computers as well as paper documents that may pertain to the criminal investigation, a second source familiar with operations at the Rose law firm said Wednesday. Both sources spoke on condition of anonymity. In the aftermath of a report in the Washington Times last week, FBI agents questioned law firm employees as to whether they witnessed any documents being destroyed, the first source said. Attorneys at the Rose law firm who deny any shredding took place have been gathering material for the wide-ranging criminal investigation of Presi- Deaths and funerals Michael J.

Main St. Newark Applegate's campaign committee also spent hundreds of dollars on meals, entertainment and gifts last year.

FEC rules prohibit the use of campaign funds for "personal" items but give members of Congress wide latitude to determine what constitutes a campaign expense. Applegate's campaign spent $96 on gifts from the U.S. Mint and $550 on cookbooks from the Congressional Club, a social club for spouses of members of Congress. Payments of $530 to Congressional Liquors and $386 to Jim Hart were designated as "entertainment" expenses. Applegate also charged nearly $1,800 in meals to his campaign.

His campaign spending report reads like a tour guide to Bob Evans restaurants between Washington and Steubenville. The campaign picked up the tab for meals at Bob Evans' in Frederick, 1 Morgantown, W.Va., Breezewood, Irwin and Washington, and Steubenville. twists and turns of interpretation that's been Fiske spelled out the broad scope of his investigation Wednesday, saying his office next month will prosecute an Arkansas businessman, David Hale, who has contended that as the state's governor, Clinton pressured him to make a $300,000 loan backed by the federal Small Business Administration. Fiske also said he would prosecute any new indictment against longtime Clinton friend James McDougal, former owner of the failed Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. McDougal was acquitted of bank fraud charges in 1990.

Vance abstained Wednesday from an otherwise unanimous vote that gave Village Manager Douglas Plunkett authority to sign a lease with Sensibilities Inc. That company, which includes Vance and Granville resident Patrick Hart, wants to turn the former Village Hall at 118 S. Main St. into what Hart calls 66 a high-quality lifestyles store." That store would feature home furnishings and furniture. Hart owns Hartstone Inc.

in Zanesville, which manufactures hand-decorated ceramic products. Council has agreed to lease the offices to Sensibilities Inc. for $800 a month for five years, with two five-year options, according to Mayor Arnold Eisenberg. The rent in the final 10 years would be tied to changes in the Consumer Price Index. Council also agrees to pay for testing for the presence of asbestos and radioactive radon gas and for correcting those problems, if they are present in the building.

But the panel would not commit Wednesday to paying for expensive repairs, should the Environmental Protection Agency order them at some future time to correct some currently unknown problem. Testing for radon and asbestos in the old village offices will begin next week, according to Plunkett. Plunkett said he will change the proposed lease to reflect council's wishes and will send it to the prospective renters today. Unless there's a he said, essentially it's a done deal." Village officials moved out of the South Main Street offices in March of 1992. That building also formerly housed the police station, which has also moved into the new village offices at 141 E.

Broadway. Fire damages business NEWARK Repair work from water damage hadn't been completed when a local business apparently became the target for an arsonist Monday morning. Council president and businessman Craig Young said he lost the front section of his office at 285 Manning St. to the flames. Newark firefighters were called out around 4:30 a.m.

and worked on the fire for approximately 30 minutes, said Capt. Greg Keefe. "Some heat was transferred inside the trailer," he said. "But; it was mostly outside the trailer." Fire investigator Mike White said the fire was deemed suspicious in nature and no cause has been determined. Young, who operates Craig Young Enterprises, said he had been repairing the building for the last 10 days because of water damage.

His water meter froze causing more than $6,000 in damages. Now, he's encountered another set back. "I've moved everything into a storage trailer except one desk," he said. "I hope to be back in another He had hauled paneling and other materials out and put it in front of the trailer. Those materials were later set on fire.

I know how they got a fire started," he said. "Water had been dripping on it all weekend and it was covered with ice." If anyone has any information regarding the fire, please contact Craig Young at 349-7517..
