Fuel shortages loom in winter for aged and poor
Washington AP reports a Senate Aging Committee panel warns fuel price spikes threaten elderly and poor Americans this winter. Arnett notes 100 to 400 percent price increases will hit heat, food, and warmth hardest. Advocates cite limited agency aid and a Maine Project Fuel example costing about 100 per home to winterize, needing 80 million for nationwide expansion.

State clerical workers claim poverty after taxes
In Sacramento, CASE organizer Dharma Pipersky told a legislative committee that up to 15 percent of the state's 23,000 female clerical workers receive Food Stamps, Medi Cal, or Aid to Families with Dependent Children. She said nearly 40 percent are sole providers, while officials cautioned not all figures are confirmed. Prices and pay scales vary by position, with a highway equipment cleaner earning far less than a stenographer. A separate report noted a burglary claim in Long Beach where a television valued at 400 dollars was stolen.
