Keyes Faces Mikulski as Fundraising Struggles Emerge
Alan Keyes, GOP challenger to U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, is faulted for paying himself about 8000 a month from campaign funds and for claims of mistreatment at the Republican National Convention. The remarks risk alienating donors within his own party while highlighting his strong credentials and debate on governance. Keyes remains energetic and informed, yet money from within the GOP is crucial to mounting a competitive campaign.

About 300 current members may receive lifetime benefits of 1 million dollars or more, with around 100 exceeding 2 million. House pay rose to 129 500, yet COLA protections favor lawmakers, not taxpayers.

Frederick service station operator charged with gasoline rationing violation
A Maryland station operator was the first in the state charged under gasoline rationing rules for not punching ration cards. He denied willful violation at a Baltimore hearing, saying if violations occurred, he was too busy to know. He claimed to run a thriving, legal business and did not break ration laws. Two drunken soldiers were arrested after allegedly pressing an Frederick woman and fighting her husband near North Market Street. They were released to their commanding officer after police could not establish a military link, as the men claimed a secret mission.
