Ethanol survives 0 run at its subsidy WASHINGTON (AP) Proethanol forces easily turned back the latest threat in Congress to squeeze the federal subsidy for the fuel made from corn. The grain-based alcohol fuel additive's subsidy will stay intact through 2000. Indeed, the sweeping tax bill approved last week in the Senate would enshrine ethanol's special status in the tax code for seven years beyond that.

At a time when Congress is weaning American farmers from reliance on other subsidies, the ethanol lobby has proved that its tax break is hard to extinguish. Critics denounce the subsidies, which have cost more than $7 billion since 1979, as corporate welfare that persists due to the lobbying clout of farmers and Daniels Midland the politically active corporation that produces half the nation's ethanol. Archer Daniels Midland is a major contributor to candidates and to both political parties. The Decatur, agribusiness giant contributed $918,000 in 1995-96, including $156,750 to 64 House and Senate members and $700,000 in unregulated money" the Republican and Democratic parties. The strength of ethanol's support was evident again last week as Sen.

John McCain, R- mustered only 30 votes for an amendment to eliminate 1 the seven-year extension of ethanol's tax break. "They're a very powerful McCain lamented afterwards. "'This proves that it's business as usual in Washington, but I'll keep fighting it." Those familiar with the debate attributed ethanol backers' success to a crucial mix of corn growers' clout, a highly organized lobby and shrewd moves by supportive congressmen. Tax-cut politics also worked in ethanol's favor. Once Republican lawmakers from the farm states realized they held make-or-break power to block passage of the House's omnibus tax bill, they used their position to restore ethanol's tax breaks into the measure.

Even though the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee had approved a graduated plan to eventually remove the 5.4 cents-a-gallon subsidy from the federal gasoline tax, House Speaker Newt Gingrich had it restored before the tax bill reached the floor.

"I'm so glad that you decided not to do it," Kathy Schrupp said to Michael Schmidt, 12, of Milton. She made. the remark at the Rock County 911 Center this week during a ceremony to cite him and three other youngsters for "brave actions and quick thinking" at the scene of a fatal accident June 10 in Milton. The children found a garbage truck with its driver upside down between the cab and box. 'The driver was bleeding and apparently not breathing.

The children sought help that led to a 911 call. Ms. Schrupp was later criticized for asking Michael to touch the driver to see if he was alive.

Stewart's acting seemed effortless and natural. Frank Capra, who directed "Mr. Smith" and "It's a Wonderful Life," once said that Stewart was one of the few actors to achieve that level of performance at which there is acting at all, when the actor disappears and a real live person appears on the screen, a person the audience cares about immediately."
