The Marion Star, Friday, March 1, 1991 Page 13 Digest Glenn looks ahead to bid, back to debt WASHINGTON (AP With th Senate campaign took in just $26,587 "Keating Five" ethics case behind him, U.S. Sen. John Glenn is looking ahead to 1992 and his next re-election; campaign. He's also looking back to 1984, and his lingering debt of $2.2 million from his unsuccessful presidential bid. The two fund-raising drives were impeded by the ethics case, Glenn said Thursday.

"It slowed us down on both counts," the Ohio Democrat said. "We haven't been very active for the last year and a half." ine two iuno-raismg operations as kicking into gear "from (Wednesday) forward," he said. Compared with the other 32 sena-; tors up for re-election in 1992, Glenn is way behind. Five of them have raised more than $1 million, and five others have more than $700,000 on hand. The average for the group going into 1991 was $563,304.

The Glenn campaign's cash on hand amounted to just $142,497 as the year began, according to a report on file with the Federal Election Commission. Most of the money in that account was carried over. The for more than a year. He's been trying to convert taxpayer anger at the savings and loan bailout cost into voter discontent with Ohio's senior senator. "John Glenn misjudged Charles Keating.

He also misjudged the tolerance of Ohio's taxpayers who are left to foot the bill of nearly $2 billion." The Ethics Committee report that said the problems of Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan were unrelated to the actions of Glenn or the other senators who intervened with the regulators investigating the thrift's business practices. Bennett also jumped on the part of in 1990, most of it in the first half of the year, when the ethics probe was generating fewer headlines. The last time Ohio had a Senate race, Republican George Voinovich and Democratic Sen. Howard Metzenbaum each spent more than $8 million. It's impossible at this point to predict whether Glenn will need that much money, since the Republicans haven't yet fielded a candidate.

No matter who comes forward, the incumbent is braced to hear more of the kind of criticism Ohio GOP Chairman Robert Bennett has pressed the ethics report that was unflattering to Glenn. The report said Glenn "exercised poor judgement" when he obliged Keating's request to meet the Speaker of the House. It went on to point ouj that Glenn knew at the time of th possibility that Keating's thrift might be investigated for criminal wrongdo-ing, but said "Glenn's actions were not improper or attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level requiring institutional action against him." The final report concluded that "Sen. Glenn has violated no law of the United States or specific rule of the United States Senate." Glenn said the report vindicated him and made it unlikely the case; would turn into a campaign liability, a "They so firmly put this thing tcj bed there isn't much there to fuss with," Glenn said. "I didn't do any thing wrong." Bennett disagreed.

"I'm sure that this will be a major issue and in my opinion it will be one' that he will be unable to overcome, he said. But Glenn said that's changing. Unions: liquor plan 'formula for COLUMBUS.

Phil Hamilton, a Columbus lobbyist representing the Voinovich confirmed Wednesday for The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer that the Cleveland company has sought the contract for supervising the jail construction. The governor said he did not believe the arrangement posed a conflict. "It doesn't trouble me.

What's the conflict of interest? Where's the conflict? He came in and helped me out with the transition. He got no pay," Voinovich said. "He doesn't work for me. My brother has made it very clear that he is not going to be seeking any state business. So where's the Fighting gangs CLEVELAND (AP) Mayor Michael White says he has a personal interest in a new effort to keep young people from joining more than 90 street gangs operating in the city.

Considering the recent increase in youthful involvement in gangs, crime and drugs, White said Thursday, "I'm not even sure I would have gotten out" of the inner city to succeed in politics.

(AP) Heavy rains with more expected this weekend muddied roads and tied up traffic but failed to avert mandatory water rationing starting today in California's two most populous regions. Los Angeles residents have to cut water use by 10 percent, while restrictions in Marin County north of San Francisco are so tight just taking two 5-minute showers might use up the daily limit. "My lawns are going to die. And you can't flush every time," said Pat Winterson of Mill Valley, one of hundreds who picked up a water conservation kit at the Marin Municipal Water District headquarters this week. The water conservation mandates go into effect despite the state's first major rainstorm this year.

Los Angeles got 3 inches in two days and parts of northern California got around 1 inch. The storms were blamed for power outages and dozens of fender-bender traffic crashes caused by hubcap-deep water and roads awash with mud. Several storm systems were expected to dump even more rain this weekend. But the significant rain was expected to do little to ease the drought, said Doug Priest, director of the state Drought Center in Sacramento. "If we were to get 200 percent of our normal rainfall during the rest of the wet season the next 40 or 50 days we would only get up to about 50 percent" of normal for the season, he said.

It is tough on the dogs, increasing the chances of lameness, illness and overheating.

Butcher has indicated she may turn her attention after this race to having children.

But "I have never used the word retirement," she said. "Raising a family is a different word. There are many mushers out there with families who continue to race." Other past Iditarod champions competing again are Rick Mackey (1983) and Joe Runyan (1989). The roster also includes two Soviet mushers, the first ever to run the Iditarod. There are 29 rookies, eight women, and mushers from as far away as Chicago, Japan and France.

The younger Brando pleaded guilty last month to voluntary manslaughter in the May 17 shooting of Dag Droll-et, the lover of his half-sister, Cheyenne.

Prosecutors sought the maximum 16-year prison sentence. A probation officer recommended the minimum sentence, citing chemical-induced brain damage and no self-esteem. Prosecutors called Drollet's death at Marlon Brando's hilltop estate a murder but accepted the plea to voluntary manslaughter because Cheyenne, a key witness in the case, was unavailable to testify.
