SEE INTER5 A By Wes Hills and Lou Grleco DAYTON DAILY NEWS In Kettering, he was known as Ken Ginter, a likable man who cut an elderly neighbor's grass and ran a i small video store at 2282 Patterson Road. In Tulsa, he was known as Michael Wayne Brown, a fugitive convicted of first-degree murder in 1975 for gunning down insurance agent Richard Sullivan during a burglary. With the FBI hot on his trail, Brown on Tuesday shed the false identity he had used in Kettering for six years and walked into Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, 15 years after his escape, and surrendered. He came with toothpaste, a toothbrush and $125 in cash. Brown's cover began to unravel April 10 when his case was featured on the Unsolved Mysteries television show, according to Stephen Morris, senior supervisory resident agent for the Dayton FBI office.

By John Keilman DAYTON DAILY NEWS For 32 years, Marlies Jacobson lived quite comfortably in America without lps ECONOMY Fed nudges interest rate WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve raised a key interest rate by a tiny one-quarter point Wednesday, the first increase in two years. Fed policymakers signaled the change may be enough to slow the economy to a more -moderate pace.

The signal was well-received on Wall Street. A half-hour after the announcement, a losing day had turned into a 100-plus-point gain in the Dow Jones industrial average. In a widely expected action, the Fed said it was increasing its target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other on overnight -loans, to 5 percent, up from 4.75 percent. In a move that wasn't anticipated, Fed policymakers said they were switching their directive, which serves as an indication of future moves, back to neutral. With that action, the central bank backed away from a predisposition to raise rates and signaled it may not need to follow up Wednesday's rate increase with additional ones.

The Fed's decision marked the first time the central bank had raised interest rates since a quarter-point increase in the funds rate March 25, 1997.
