Bush seeks quiet warnings on scandals to protect image
The memo from the Presidents Council on Integrity and Efficiency aims to give the administration early alerts to brewing scandals, but to hush them so as not to embarrass the president. Raymond Maria, acting Labor Department inspector general, warned Congress of a looming private pension crisis worth 1.6 trillion, yet faced brick walls and was not made permanent IG, drawing strong criticism from Rep Tom Lantos and Sen Howard Metzenbaum. This signals a chill on inspectors general and a push to suppress bad news.

Alarm at Blue Ridge dormitory boiler blast in New Windsor
A boiler exploded in the basement of the girls dormitory at Blue Ridge College in New Windsor causing considerable alarm and a fire that did not damage walls or floors due to concrete construction. The New Windsor Fire Company responded briefly before returning home. Howard Taylor escaped serious injury after being knocked toward a trough while handling an angry bull near Middletown. He was saved from further harm when the trough hindered the animal. The Joseph D. Baker Memorial Association committee remains undecided on the carillon type for Baker Park to honor Frederick's "First Citizen." Workmen began a week-long effort to prune eight of sixteen large trees in the front courthouse park to allow landscaping. County Commissioners denied Linganore Corp. a petition to close Meadow Road, deeming it unlawful and not in the Lake Singanore development's interest. Parkway Elementary students completed an eight-week unit on "Social Issues of the Seventies," including tours, drives, speeches, soil, and pollution projects, and visits to city and state offices.
