A' Tribute To A Worthy Citizen Wilson Spain On the 2 1st of May, Wilson "Skinny" Spain, a long lime resident of Marysville, died after a lengthy illness.
His death was noted with regret by a large circle of friends and acquaintances among whom he had worked and served a lifetime. As a man he was honest, straight forward, plain talking, hard working and loyal no frills. What you saw was what he was qualities which I think most of us admire in a and friend he was to many. Over 40 years ago, at the lime mat the emergency service of this community was first organized, I came to know him well when he and the late Bcccher McKitrick were known as the "Old Reliables," responding time and again to the many serious and often fatal accidents in this county. As a newly appointed coroner, I came to respect these men for their efficiency and steadfast devotion to their duties as squadmcn.
As a member and captain of the Marysville fire department for many years, he served this community with little recompense or notice as did most of his colleagues, but only with a strong sense of community service and responsibility. To many, he was known primarily as a skilled mechanic and craftsman, attributes he never exploited for personal gain. One can with little effort applaud the lives of the eminent, who in the course of their existence contribute worthy works of public notice. But I would not widihold approbation from the quiet ones, who serve with no prospect or desire of praise or recognition and it is now sincerely offered. Malcolm Maclvor, M.D.

Campaign Bill Vote Nears CLLVLLAND (AP) Mayor Michael White has urged the news media to pay closer attention to Ross Perot, warning of precedent elsewhere of a popular figure gaining power, White, a Democrat who has endorsed Arkansas Gov.
Bill Clinton for president, met with Perot, a probable irulqwulent presidential candidate, in Dallas Monday along with four other mayors. Back at Cleveland City Hall on Tuesday, White alleged the media is having a "honeymoon" with the Texas billionaire and had not scrutinized his past or delved into what Perot sees as the nation's future. White drew an analogy, which The Plain Dealer today reported was apparently a reference to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. "There's a historical parallel where this country is and where 'another country was, and where a leader came out of nowhere who said all the right things, who made all the people feel very good, and ended up being 1,000 percent different from what he was portrayed only because nobody thought to check," White said. 'They got so caught up in the rhetoric, so caught up in the jingles, so caught up in feeling strongly about the country again that no one thought to check up on the painter." Asked if he was referring to Hitler, who as a youth painted landscapes and posters, White said: Tm not referring to anyone.
I'm just leaving the parallel for you to make your -judgment." No one could be reached for comment at Perot campaign offices in Dallas Tuesday night. Calls there could not be put through to any campaign official. White said he went to Dallas with other members of the U.S. Conference of Mayors to speak with Perot on the needs of urban America. He said he went with the blessing of Clinton.
He said recent polls, which show Clinton trailing both President Bush and Perot, will change when Perot must answer to his views on issues. "But today, as I stand here, a third of this country is willing to vote for a man that they know nothing about," White said. "They don't know where he's come from, they don't know what he's done, and they don't know one substantive position that he's taken, and that is only for one reason the ultimate in desperation on the part of Americans." White said Perot benefited politi sions that would limit on all campaign contributions and provide for voluntary limits on spending by candidates for statewide offices and the Legislature. The task force limited contributions by PACs, but not by individuals. A PAC could give up to 10,000 to a statewide candidate, a maximum of $2,000 to a state Senate candidate and no more than $750 to someone running for the Ohio House, under the bill.
Political parties could provide no more than 5200,000 to a statewide candidate, and no more than $6,000 and $2,000, respectively, to Senate and House contenders.

Editing the best special effects Many options 8 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A long-debated bill that majority Senate Republicans say will help ease voter concerns about big-money campaigns has taken another step toward passage. The Senate Task Force on Campaign Finance Reform recommended passage 6-3 Tuesday. The full Senate was expected to vote on the bill today.
Minority Leader Robert Boggs, D-Jefferson, and the panel's other two Democrats voted against it, saying it fails to address areas that need reforming the most Boggs said they will offer amendments during floor debate to balance and strengthen the proposal. He said the Democrats will try to insert limits on contributions by individuals the bill's biggest flaw, he said and to outlaw the laundering of campaign money to conceal its source. Sen. Robert Cupp, R-Lima, task force chairman, said the legislation is comprehensive and contains overdue changes that include limits 6tfd3tt paign contributions and stroirgiiflanp -rial disclosure. He denied claims by Democrats that the bill is designed to protect and enhance the ability of Republicans to raise campaign money while punishing Democrats by restricting labor contributions.
Cupp said the measure puts labor unions "on a level playing field" with corporations, which may not contribute to campaigns under federal or state law except through political action committees. Several union officials testified against the bill in committee. David Lauridsen, spokesman forjCouncil 8 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees charged that the bill seeks "to take working men and women out of the political process." Passage by the Senate would send the bill on a collision course with the House, which passed another version last year without the language that treats labor unions and corporations the same. The bill emerged in the Senate last week after being kept in limbo for months. Senate leaders blamed the delay on other priorities, such as the state's budget deficit and congressional redisricting.
Cupp's panel junked House provi- COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) After months of legal wrangling, officials of a wildlife group and the Columbus Zoo have settled a lawsuit involving the zoo's short-term exhibit of giant pandas: -7 TtieaagrtefrferrtTToeSday between the World Wildlife Fund and the Columbus Zoo requires the zoo to donate money to panda conservation and prohibits the fund from further legal action against the panda loan. The settlement is conditional on formal announcement that the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service will review its policy on panda importation, said Richard Block, fund spokesman. The service had granted an import permit that allowed two pandas to be transported from China to Columbus. The exhibit, which currently is scheduled to run three months, opened Friday.
The zoo also will donate $65,000 to WWF, which the agency will use for legal expenses, Block said. "We got close to what we wanted," Block said. "We got the Fish Wildlife Service to revisit the guidelines, and we got more money out of the zoo for pandas." The bill restricts the amount candidates and legislative caucus committees could carry over from one campaign to the other, when they have a surplus after an election. The ceilings range from $400,000 for a gubernatorial campaign or a caucus committee to 1 00,000 for a Senate campaign and $35,000 for a House campaign. The bill would require contributors to list not only their names but the names of their employers.
It prohibits the use of union dues for contributions and says any employee giving through a payroll checkoff plan has the right not his or her employer to pick the recipient The two sides have been in court for almost three months over the loan by the Chinese government. The zoo filed suit in U.S. District Court in April, charging that the fund was interferingtwith the panda loan. The fund wanted to challenge the importation permit, but in a court in Washington. U.S.
District Judge Joseph Kinne-ary blocked the fund from filing suit outside Columbus and denied WWF's request for an order postponing the panda shipment. The fund appealed to the 6th U.S Circuit Court in Cincinnati, which sent the case back to Kinneary to determine whether the zoo had a legitimate claim. Block said the zoo earlier had agreed to contribute $300,000 to the Chinese government for conservation. Under the settlement, an additional 65 percent of the exhibit's net profit will be donated to other international conservation efforts, he said. The donation poses no financial hardship, said Gerald Borin, zoo general manager.
"We've said all along the majority of the money was going to go to panda conservation." mand at Kelly Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, in June.
