Main Berlin, Md. 21811. ELSEWHERE Cliff Griffith, dirt car racer ROCHESTER, Ind. (AP) Cliff Griffith, a two-time Midwest Dirt Racing Association champion who drove four times in the Indianapolis 500, died Tuesday. He was 79.

Griffith began racing sprint cars in 1937 at the Salem (Ind.) Fairgrounds. After serving in World War II, he raced the dirt car circuit and was the Midwest champion in 1946 and 1947. His best finish in four Indy races between 1951 and 1961 was ninth in 1952. Frank Howard, Clemson football coach CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Frank Howard, a Hall of Fame football coach whose job description in Clemson's media guide was simply "Legend," died today of congestive heart failure.

He was 86. Howard, who said he got into coaching because he couldn't find a job as an accountant, signed on with Clemson in 1931 as an assistant coach. In 1940, he signed a one-year contract but lost it and never signed another. In a career that spanned 30 seasons at Clemson, Howard built a win-loss record of 165-118 with 12 ties, leading Tigers teams to six Atlantic Coast Conference titles and two Southern Conference championships. Known as the nation's dean of coaches when he retired from coaching in December 1969, Howard was one of five active coaches with 150 or more victories.

From 1969 to 1971, he served as Clemson's athletic director.

White House looking for way around Fed requi requirements By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON Would one of Wall Street's most famous deal-makers seem credible representing the Wyoming region on the Federal Reserve? The answer to that question could help determine whether New York investment banker Felix Rohatyn wins a nomination to the central bank. Administration officials said Friday that Rohatyn was under consideration for the No. 2 job at the Fed, which will become vacant next week when Vice Chairman Alan Blinder returns to his teaching job at Princeton University. But the officials, who spoke on condition that their names not be used, said that one potential problem with the nomination was the legal requirement that no two members of the Fed's seven-member board of governors come from the same Fed region.

Rohatyn, who gained fame for helping New York City during its economic crisis in the 1970s, is a managing partner of the prominent investment firm of Lazard Freres Co. and has lived in New York since he came to the United States from Austria in 1942. The problem is that Alan Greenspan, who is widely expected to be nominated a third four-year term as chairman in coming weeks, already occupies the New York seat. There are 12 Fed regions in the country and administration officials who are researching the question said that Rohatyn has links to two others that do not currently have representatives on the Fed board. He graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont and owns land on which he is building a vacation home near Pinedale, Wyo.

Vermont is in the New England district and Wyoming is in the Kansas City Fed district. While Congress sought to ensure regional diversity on the country's central bank by stipulating that no two seats can be occupied by someone from the same part of the country, there have been plenty of precedents in the past for skirting the requirement. The most recent occurred in 1991 when Fed governor Lawrence Lindsey's nomination was held up for a time over objections from then-Sen. Terry Sanford, that it wa's inappropriate to consider Lindsey as a resident of the Richmond, district simply because he had lived in a Washington suburb since 1989 while working in the Bush administration. However, Sanford eventually withdrew his objection and Lindsey won confirmation.

A spokesman for Senate Banking Committee Chairman Alfonse D'Amato, said the chairman would have no comment on the question until the White House made a decision on whether to nominate Rohatyn. However, some economists who follow the Fed closely said they believed Rohatyn's nomination looked like a long-shot, especially in light of the fact that it would have to clear the Republican-controlled Senate during a presidential election year. Rohatyn has been a prominent fund-raiser for Democratic Party candidates for a number of years. Some analysts questioned why Rohatyn, 67, would want to take the No. 2 position on the central bank where he would be overshadowed by Greenspan.

"Maybe he is viewing it as a step toward retirement, given his age and the spectacular career he has had on Wall Street," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Norwest Corp. in Minneapolis. Bill killed to give military personnel in-state tuition By LARRY O'DELL Associated Press Writer RICHMOND Fred Ripley is pursuing his history degree at Christopher Newport University one class at a time because that's all he can afford as a Serviceman who must pay out-of-state tuition. His hopes of taking a heavier course load were dashed Friday when a legislative committee voted 11-9 to kill a bill allowing colleges to offer in-state tuition to active-duty military personnel and their dependents. Supporters of Del.

Philip A. Hamilton's bill said it would be a good way to thank the military for its contributions to Virginia's economy. Opponents argued it would cost financially strapped colleges money. Ripley, who is stationed at the Coast Guard base in Yorktown, said the current law unfairly punishes him for two personal choices: serving his country and keeping his citizenship in Washington state. "We have to make a lot of personal sacrifices," Ripley told the House of Delegates' Education Committee.

"We have no choice where we are sent. The out-of-state tuition rate precludes me from advancing further in my education." Military personnel can get in-state tuition if they establish Virginia citizenship, but many choose not to do so for various reasons. Some claim citizenship in states that do not have an income tax. Del. W.W.

Bennett, D-Halifax, asked Ripley why he doesn't simply become a Virginia citizen. Ripley said his reasons are personal, but hinted that he wanted to keep the right to vote in his home state. Ripley said his wife works and pays Virginia income taxes, and they both spend much of their salaries and pay other taxes in the state. But educators said Hamilton's bill would impose a hardship on public colleges especially those in Hampton Roads and northern Virginia, where the military has its greatest presence. Hamilton, R-Newport News, said the bill would reduce college revenues by about $10 million.

Kay Kemper, a vice president at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, said the bill would create "unfunded scholarships" that ultimately would have to be subsidized by other students. Warner, Miller agree to debate By MARTHA SLUD Associated Press Writer RICHMOND Republican Sen. John W. Warner said Friday he will debate intra-party challenger James C. Miller IfI three months before they face off in a June 11 primary.

Warner declined Miller's invitation to debate at a Republican meeting in Richmond this weekend but said he would appear at a March 8 debate in Williamsburg. Miller, a former federal budget director under President Reagan, had accused Warner of running away from him.

"John Warner is running away from his record." Miller and Warner were to separately address the Republican Advance Friday night but Warner said he might be held up by budget votes in Washington. Warner, who is seeking a fourth term, is disliked by many conservative Republicans who say he is disloyal, liberal and arrogant. They blame him for the defeat of Republicans Oliver North in the 1994 Senate race and Michael Farris in the 1993 lieutenant governor's race. Warner refused to endorse both candidates. In Memory Of TESSA WARD VANHART had proposed a debate in each of the state's 11 congressional districts.

"There's no effort in any way to avoid debates," Warner said in a telephone interview from Washington. "I believe in them." Miller accepted the challenge but said he wants to meet Warner on more occasions. "He's chosen one, now I'll choose one," he said. Miller also told reporters that he is more conservative than the incumbent on budget and social issues. "John Warner has been passing as a conservative," he said.
