Marshalls seeks $20M from USBy Giff Johnson

MAJIJRO - Six years ago, pro­tectionists in the United States eliminatedaseries of tax and trade incentives in the compacts of free association with the Marshall Is­lands and Federated States of Micronesia that were designed to stimulate foreign investment and b eak the islands ’ dependency cm aid from Washington.

Inexchangeforthecuts,theUS provided the Marshalls withaSlO

million development fund and promised an additional $20million for development

This week theMajuro, Marshalls Foreign Minister T a n Kijiner said thatrelations with the USduringthe six years of die Compact have been good. But, he said, while the US Congress was appropriating the an­nual budget as agreed to in the Compact, there “are other commit­ments the US has not lived up to.”

“The US promised the Marshall Islands another $20 million in devel­

opment assistance. They haven’t provided i t”

In recent testimony before the US Congress, Marshalls official Oscar deBrun said that the axing of die preferential tradeprovisionshadcost the Marshall more than $55 million.

KijinersaidtheMarshallsiswak- mg with the US to provide the addi­tional funds.

“We’ve already discussed it with thenew(US)ambassadoinMajuio,’’ he said “And the State Department wants to discuss it”

He said that he had authorized Marshalls Washington Ambassador Wilfred Kendall to talk with the State Department about the additional $20 million development fund to offset the affect of the changed terms of the Compact’s tax and trade incentives.

“We know that money is tight but it’s a commitment they have to live with,” he said.

A week ago, the People’s Re­public of China and the Marshalls signed a joint venture agreement to establish the country’s first

garment factory. Resources and Development Secretary Donald Capelle said the garment factory will targetthe Americanmarket. Kijiner added that unlike China, the Marshalls has no quota limits on exports of garments to the US.

But the Marshalls has had dif­ficulty in attracting foreign in­vestment for export industries since duty free status to the US- was removed for items such as shoes and garments.

Gov’t withdraws assault complaintBy Gaynor Dumat-ol

A GOVERNMENT prosecutor bas withdrawn the complaint against a suspect in an aggravated assault and battery incident nearly three months ago that partly para­lyzed a young man.

Assistant Attorney General Cheryl M. Gill asked the Superior Court Monday to dismiss the charge against Godwin Brel be­cause the v ictim , L estin Rekemsik, 20, was reluctant to testify.

“We couldn’t get the victim to testify,” Gill said in a telephone interview.

Gill hinted that the government might refile the case in 90 days, the deadline given by Superior Court Judge Alex Castro when he

granted the motion to dismiss.The suspect was supposed to

face jury trial Monday when the government prosecutor withdrew the case.

Based on the A ttorney General’s latest information, Gill said, the victim was “still im­paired.”

Brel was accused of hitting Rekemsik’s back with à stainless steel baseball bat one night in early August at Marianas Inn.

The attack partly paralyzed Rekemsik who had to be airlifted to Guam for treatment.

A police rep o t earlier said prior to the alleged attack, Brel saw Rekem sik touching P atric ia Matagolan, the former’ alleged common-law wife.

CUC to disconnect delinquent clientsRESIDENTIAL power consum­ers who have refused to pay their bills for more than 60 or 90 days will be disconnected from the public power service tomorrow, Commonwealth Utilities Corp. (CUC) Executive D irector Ramon S. Guerrero announced Wednesday.

“This is a last re sa t. Although there is reluctance on our part, we have to do this because people are not paying their bills,” Guerrero said in an interview yesterday.

Actually, CUC implemented a disconnection drive a few months back. “This has been very effec­tive in treating our delinquency rate and we plan to do this

again and again if need be,” be said.

He said about 50 of those whose power connections were cut off earlier had not been reconnected to the system.

Guerrero said 10 utility crew members would go around the island tomorrow to cut off CUC power to customers who have disregarded repeated notices for overdue payment.

Exempted from the disconnec- tion are low-income families covered by the LIHEAPprogram, the Man Amko and MIHA hous­ing residents.

The number of customers to be affected by the disconnection drive was notknownbutGuerrero

said CUC had about $2 millioi worth of collectibles from resi­dential users whose bills have continued to pile up every m onth

“I know the times are hard and our people are having trouble with their finances, but the least they could do is to come to our offices and make arrangements as tohow they wouldpay their utility bills,” he said.

He said the firm’s payment offices in Lower Base and San Jose will be open until 5 p.m. tomorrow to receive payments.

Guerrero adviced. delinquent customers to settle at least part of their overdue accounts to avoid a $130 reconnection fee.

j& s âRUDY Munoz, a painter, was among the busy workers cleaning and preparing tombs Thursday at the cemetery In Chalan Kanoa in preparation for All Saints’ Day (Sunday) and All souls' Day (Monday), the annual Catholic religious holidays.

Cemetery prepared for AH Souls’ DayCATHOLICS are reminded that prayers are more important than flowers and food as they prepare to visit cemeteries Sunday and Monday to honor the saints and their dead.

“What is important is prayer,” Father Robert Embile of the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa said in an interview Wednesday on the yearly commemoration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

As a tradition, Catholics go to cemeteries in either or both of the two dates, bringing flowers, candles and, in some cases even food, along with prayer booklets.

Embile said bringing flowers and food in the cemetery is a “pagan” practice.

“What must be fostered is prayer f a the dead,” Embile said. “Make the day more quiet and peaceful.”

Too much emphasis on the

flowers and other material sym­bols of the two occasions is a “corruption of the religious practice,” said the priest.

But unlike flowers, Embile said lighting of candles is an essential part of commemoration of All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days.

“Lighting of candles represents the presence of Christ. Remember that light is associated with Christ,” Embile said.

The Nov. 1 commemoration, Embile said, is to honor the saints who have all been victorious against temptations.

“We celebrate All Saints’ Day just like we celebrate heroes. Saints are models for all of us.”

D uring All S a in ts’ Day, Catholics are expected to pray to the saints for help a guidance or just to’ say thanks for favors

Police officials fired on illegal gambling ties

MANILA (AP) - President Fidel Ramos ordered a regional police chief and a provincial police commander relieved Wednesday after they were were implicated in illegal gambling.

National Police Director Gen­eral Raul Imperial said Ramos also ordered an investigation of the allegations against Chief Su- perintendentDioscorro Yorro and Albay province police com ­mander Rolando Albano.

Rep. Leandro Verceles said in a speech to the House of Repre­sentatives that Yorro was the kingpin of illegal gambling in the Bicol peninsula of southeastern

Luzon.Verceles made the speech after

newspapers reported that Yorro implicated him in a flourising numbers racket.

Verceles also identified Gov­ernor Romeo Salalima of Albay province and Albano, provincial police commander, as protecting gambling, particularly the illegal numbers game called “jueteng.”

The three officials could not be reached for comment because of poor telephone lines.

“(Gambling) will not work with­out the support or approval of the highest officials of the area and the provincial commander,” Verceles

said.“Right now we must really do

something about jueteng in this country,” Verceles said. “It is de­stroying the moral fiber of the po­lice. Talk to anybody there and they will tell you ‘I don’t want to talk to the police because precisely it’s the police that could be behind it.”

Verceles alleged that Yorro had received 8.6 m illion pesos (5344,000) from gambling opera­tors this month.

Imperial said that the national police leadership will relieve com­manders who are unable to stop the numbers game in their areas.

After futile wait for rapture, leaders admit wrong revelation

MANILA (AP) - About 200 “B a n Again” Christians danced, sang and talked of seeing angles as they waited f a Jesus to beam them to heaven. Hours later, their Koreanleaders were begging for­giveness f a “a wrongrevelation.”

The faithful, including infants, crowded into a third flow loft in suburban Quezon City to await the “rapture,” when Jesus would carry believers to heaven at 11 p jn . (1500 gmt).

As the “departure time” ap­proached, the congregation danced, sang and embraced one another.

“Soon, we will be looking face to face at Jesus,’’announced Esther Choi, 23, a Korean missionary from the Mission for the Caning Days, the largest of the Korean doomsday churches.

During a break in the songs, congregation members stood up to tell of having seen angels and even Jesus. One woman claimed she had died and was given a tour of heaven and hell before being sent back as a witness.

But anticipation turned to confu­sion and then disappointment as the wallclock registered 11 p.m., with no sign of any Second Com­ing of Jesus. As the wait for Jesus draggedon, reporters were banging a t the door of the single entrance to the loft, which had been barricaded by the worshippers with stacks of chairs.

Three American missionaries from the “Arise And Shine Evan­gelist Association,’’’which operates Bible schools in the Philippines, managed to bluff their way pas t the barricades and the guards.

The three then drifted through the congregation preaching that the whole event was a scam perpetrated by Korean hucksters from the Mission of the Caning Days.

“That man is a fraud,” one of the Americans, Dirk Wood of Pensacola, Floida, told wor­shippers. “We believe in the rapture but we don’t believe anyone can predict when it will happen.”

Filipino group leaders pri­vately told the Americans they agreed with them but they were afraid that worshippers might “run amok” if they realized they had been had.

“These are Filipinos, you un­derstand,” one of the congre­gation leaders whispered to Wood.

South Korea deploys copsat 200 doomsday churchesBy B.J. Lee

SEOUL, South K orea (AP) - Fifteen minutes after the deadline passed for what believers said would be the beginning of the end of the world, the minister at South Korea’s largest doomsday church told his congregation, “Sorry _ let’s go home.”

“Nothing has happened,” said the Rev. Chang Man-ho, parish­ioners reported. “Let’s go home. Let’s go back to a normal life,” he said.

Some 2,500 parishcners filed out of the church expressing emotions ranging from disap­pointment to depression. Most tried to avoid the 1,000 curiosity - seekers and police outside.

“I t’s just not the time for Jesus to come,” said Chung Dong-bun, 53. “There will be another time.”

Believers had expected rapture _ the ascent to heaven _ at mid­night (1500 GMT). Seven years of apocalypse would follow, bringing the Earth’s annihilation and the second coming of Christ, they believed.

Singing could be heard from in­side Seoul’s main doomsday church, the Mission for the Com­ing Days, after midnighL

A police searchlight scanned the darkness outside, and 200 riot po­lice stood a block away, ready to move in to try to prevent any sui­cides a other extreme actions. Officials had worried some believ­ers might despair when the predic­tion failed to come true;

No suicides had been reported an hour after the deadline.

The Mission for the Coming Days claims 10,000 members. Po­lice estimate the total number of doomsday believers at 20,000.

All but believers were barred from the churches today, and it was unclear how many were inside the five-story red brick headquarters.

A closed-circuit television out­side had shown parishioners inside kneeling on cushions, singing and raising their arms as a chorus sang and a steel guitar played hymns. “Jesus is coming,” they screamed.

But the televsioi was smashed by a teen-ager, Lee Hang-Sup, whose brother was inside the

church. He was arrested after a scuffle.

One woman threw a black purse from a fifth-story window con­tain ing what looked like, housekeys.

“See you in heaven,” said a mother with baby on her back, who was outside the church.

Thousands more riot police have been deployed at some 200 other doomsday churches in Seoul and elsewhere. Police said fire engines, ambulances and rescue vehicles also were deployed.

The ch u rch ’s 46-year-old founder, Lee Jan-rim, has warned followers to restrain themselves in case today is not the end. He is in jail on charges of swindling followers of up to $4 million.

Prosecutors said Lee had $380,000 w a th of bonds that ma­ture as late as next May. They said that proved he did not expect the w a ld to end.

Hundreds and possibly thou­sands of Korean believers have sold property, abandoned their families, quit schools and jobs and deserted military posts.

Pacific islands to restrict fishing by US, Asian ships

SUVA, Fyi (AP) - Eight Pacific island nationsagreed Wednesday to restrict US and Asian fishing vessels in their waters in an at­tempt to conserve rich tuna stocks.

The draft treaty signed by rep­resentatives to the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency would limit to 200the number of foreign purse seine boats allowed wiihin their 200-mile (320-kilometer) territorial limits. Agency direc­tor Sir Peter Kenilorea said that would include 55 US vessels. The rest would come mainly from Ja-

pan, Taiwan and South Korea. Kenilorea said several Asian countries, particularly Japan, had com plained about the lim it. However, he said, island states are determined to enforce it with the help of surveillance flights by the Australian and New Zealand air forces.

Signers of the treaty were N auru, K iribati, M arshall Is­lan d s , Papua New G uinea , S o lo m o n Is la n d s , T u v a lu , Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia.

ADB launches loan program in Marshalls

By Giff Johnson

MAJURO - The Asian Devei- opmentBankislaunchingamulti- year development loan program designed to boost Marshall Is­lands exports and turn around the current trade imbalance in the economy.

The value of loans provided to theMarshalls during thenextthree years is expected to reach S30 million, according to government officials.

Imports - primarily food prod­ucts, alcohol and sodas - now outpace exports by a 20-to-l mar­gin, accading to government statistics. The o ily export of sig­nificance from the Marshalls is coconut oil from сорта.

“This is unsustainable in the long run,” said Paul McCabe, ADB program officer for the Marshall. “The ADB’s long term objectiveistolessenthecountry’s dependence and encourage self- reliance.”

ADB is doing this by selecting key sectors of the economy to assist! “We’re starting with the strong points of the Marshalls.” he said.

The first loan from ADB has gone to finance the building of long line fishing vessels and to launch a fisheries training school in the Marshalls. ADB is putting in about $6.9 million for the project.

Once the fishing fleet is con­structed and in operation, ADB projects that it could learn the Marshalls S12-14 million in an­nual exports. “This is part of a larger fisheries e ffo t (by the government),” he said.

McCabe added that the gov­ernment is bringing in its own fishing boats and that fishermen trainedin the ADB-funded school would be available to man the government’s ships, as well as those the ADB is financing. “We will make a contribution to the goal of lessening dependence by raising expats significantly,” he said.

A fleet of 10 long lineiishing vessels is expected to arrive in the Marshalls in early November to boost the tuna expats to Hawaii and Japan.

McCabe saidthatduririg 1993, the ADB will finance a study of agriculture programs in the Marshalls that is expected to lead to a loan in 1994.

One area that the ADB will address is improving the copra industry. “Ifwecanhelp(copra), we’ve helped ‘Joe outer island’. “If the copra industry is more efficient, everyone benefits," he said.

The ADB will also encourage production of more local crops to reduce imports.

“We need to build a few more successes, here,” McCabe said.

Search for Korean vessel continuesAGANA,Guam (AP)-TheCoast Guard continued to search today f a a South Korean freighter that hasn’t been heard from since try­ing to avoid Typhoon Colleen eight days ago.

The 875-foot ship “Daeyang H otey” and its 28-member crew were headed from Australia to Japan with a load of iron ore when the last radio message heard from the ship on Oct. 20 said it was turning west to avoid the typhoon. I t hasn’t been heard from since.

Coast Guard, Navy and pri­vately-chartered planes are tak­ing part in the search 900 miles west-southwest of Guam, and are being assisted by two ships in the area owned by the same company that owns the freighter.

POST-DEBATE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WATCH

A good business adviceTHE SAIPAN Chamber of Commerce on Monday brought up the need for a full-time economic p la n n in g agency to provide direction for the Commonwealth economy.

The proposal is long overdue. If an economic p la n n in g

agency was provided in the Covenant, a substantial part of which deals with the local economy, the CNMI might not be in the mess that it is now.

The main reason for the CNMI’s exemption from the federal minimum wage and immigration laws was economic: it was meant to allow the Northern Marianas to tap the cheap labor pool of Asia to develop the local economy.

But there were no safeguards. An economic p la n n in g

agency would have provided guidelines on how to maximize benefits from the twin privileges while, at the same time, imposing limits to prevent abuse.

A planning agency would have determined, even before the CNMI started hiring foreign workers, how many non­immigrant laborers the Northern Marianas could hire without stretching its infrastructure system beyond its limits. The agency would have dictated the type, size and number of industries that should be encouraged in the CNMI, consid­ering local resources, including the indigenous labor force.

As it were, the Commonwealth government and the private sector are now being accused by the mainland government and industry of using the exemptions to circumvent US laws and to exploit workers from the poor countries of Asia.

TheUS Congressis still waiting for action on labor abuses, the heavy dependence on imported labor and the competi­tion posed by the duty-free garment industry to their main­land counterparts.

To date, even the task force formed by Governor Lorenzo I. Guerrero to study the minimum wage issue has not completed its assignment. Sources said the task force was not even planning to come up with a single recommendation; instead, a compilation of different industry positions would be submitted to the governor. The governor will still have to make his pick.

At this time, an economic planning agency may still help the Northern Marianas find solutions to its current problems, mostly economic in nature.

The government should heed the cham ber’s advice. The Northern Marianas needs an economic planning agency, one that is totally free from politics and staffed by competent and qualified people whose primary task will be to provide a clear direction for sustainable, people-oriented growth.

For many generations, we have relied upon our individual and collective strengths as a people to protect our integrity even in the most adverse conditions, i.e., the arrival o f the Spanish Mission­aries,etc. Though we were conquered, our ancestors were united in their last ditch efforts to retain and perpetuate our sense of peoplehood. Our cultural traditions have kept us a truly unified people. It is this sense of community that has allowed our ancestors to endure all that the elements of change have brought to our shores.

Over the last decade, however, we have seen the arrival of windfall affluence in the Northern Marianas Community which came from the lease of large parcels of family land. It is also this very element which gave birth to a sense of indepen­dency among families here. Once we relied upon

burning. This is hardly true anymore. We have adopted a new attitude—”1 have the money. I no longer need help from my family and relatives.” Out the window goes the very essence of our strength— unity. Unity has taken on a new definition—indepen­dency!

How sad that at one point the very foundation of unity and strength of the social fibre of our people rested on nothing else but cultural tradition. That very foundation has been shaken, if not, weakened by a tremor I wish to dub as “money”. Some can even afford a sense of complacency and indifference. Even the needs of their children for parental guidance is replaced by the power that money could buy or op luxury items, i.e., new automobiles and a loaded sound system for Maria and Jose. That oughtlokeep their mouths shut until all hell breaks loose. Never

^W ASHINGTON - As espionage yams go, the story unfolding in­side the Drug enforcement Ad­m in is tra tio n borrow s m ore heavily from the slap-stick antics of the Pink Panther’s Inspector Clouseau than an Ian Fleming novel.

Congressional investigators are finding that some of DEA’s most sensitive computer secrets could be at risk - not from high-tech hackers or black-bag jobs, but just simple sloppiness.

In one case, a sensitive docu­ment was found lying unattended in a FAX machine tray in a re­gional DEA office. I had been transmitted from a foreign coun­try, and disclosed the name and Social Security number of an undercover DEA agent working overseas, as well as details o f an (»going DEA operation.

this and other examples turned

up during a months-long probe of DEA computer security by con­gressional investigators,revealing sometimes gaping holes in the security systems of the front-line agency in the war on drugs. Other examples include:

- A DEA com m unications equipm ent operator obtained sensitive criminal investigative data from the DEA’s own data­base, Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Information System, or NADDIS, and admitted to un­lawfully disclosing the informa­tion to a drug trafficker under investigation by the agency. DEA was told that the suspected drug trafficker had paid the communi­cations equipment operates· for the information.

- A foreign service national working in a DEA foreign office was granted unauthorized access to the NADDIS system and obtain

sensitive criminal information over a two-to three-year period in violation of DEA policy.

-A contractor data analyst ac­cessed sensitive NADDIS inves­tigative information outside of her official duties. Specifically, the analyst obtained sensitive infor­mation on a pending investigation of an individual she was dating.

- In some instances, DEA em­ployees used obvious passwords like “DEA,” or shared passwords, or even worse, left passwords taped to computer terminals.

DEA’s assistant administrator of the Intelligence Division, David Westrate, defends his agency’s security systems. “DEA is not leaking information,” he recently told a congressional panel. “Our investigations have not been compromised, nor is there any evidence to show that lives have

This experience has really led to the gradual disintegration of thefamilyuniL What’s even more mind numbing is the virulent ripple effects of this very break down. Itcomes in tiny little waves one right after the other. The destructive effects are found in the powerful but invisible under currents which wreck every social fibre in what I call “familial unity” into particles of hopelessness. Confusion sets-in! Well, chances of focusing on what went wrong is further crushed by other equally mitigating circumstances beyond our ability to sort out our thoughts rationally.

This social phenomenon comes in the form of fearful black clouds hovering over the N orthern Marianas Community. It will devour our cultural values beyond recognition. I wonder if there’s hope to resolve this familial break down. Maybe. But friends we need not feed this ugly giant. Rather, let’s build up our sense of courage and strength to put this giant out of its misery.

* * *

Family land has also become the very elements of unity and disunity. When each family member is issued his/her piece of inheritance, there’s joy and much gratitude is extended to our par­ent* for their wonderful gifts. Rumors of all sorts begin flying around when the very same prop-

erty is up for sale or lease.Jose thinks he should get a big­

ger chunk of the largess for being the favorite. Jupn thinks the same for being the least able to provide for his family. Rosa feels differ­ently too because, as m om ’s closest daughter, this alone justi­fies being given an even greater amount. The interminal feud begins. Hatred originating from that ugly word “money” sets-in.

When the worst situation pre­vails, the whole family marches to court to settle their problems. The obvious winner?—attorneys. L osers?— landow ners! R e ­grets?—Aplenty! I t’s a situation that can certainly turn into an ugly scene. And there are worse cases than what I have described here.

Then there’s the more positive fam ily approach where each member contributes towards the peaceful and brotherly settlement of estates. It is a better alternative for many obvious reasons. No one loses! Gratitude, aplenty and unity definitely cemented even further. And it is a stronger bondship than meets the eye. Every member ensures that both parents are taken care of by the family rather than by a Senior Citizens’ Center. How pleasant, huh? And this, my friends, is tradition at its best—taking care of m a n and dad to the bitter end. I am sure we can still afford to continue this tradition.

Rep. Robert Wise Jr., D-W. Va., chairman of the House subcom­mittee on government informa­tion, expressed his growing con­cern in a letter to Attorney General William B an earlier this year.

“I am troubled by DEA’s care­lessness in handling the security of classified informatioa In fact, it reflects a leyel of casualness which is not acceptable for a professional federal agency, and particularly one whichis involved in the dangerous business of fighting the nation’s war on drugs.”

In one of the most egregious security lapses, congressional in­vestigators found a computer system that contained data used by agents to monitor suspected drug trafficker’s telephone calls. It was located in a room with a broken lock on the door. The password to the system and in­structions on how to retrieve in­formation had been left in plain view beside the computer, the name and phone number of a drag suspect was actually taped to the computer screen.

“No agency should run the risk of having an agent or informant killed as a result of sloppy com­puter security practices,” Wise told our reported Paul Zimmerman.

In a letter we obtained, then- Sen. Quayle wrote the Environ­mental Protection Agency on June 10,1987, to express his concern that a toxic dry-cleaning chemical was about to be shifted from a “possib le carc inogen” to a “probable carcinogen.”

Quayle wrote: ” ... theonly other viable solvents available to dry cleaners are chlorofluorocarbons, which have been implicated in the depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer.” During this campaign, however, Quayle has ridiculed Gore’s warnings about global warming, predicting that Gore’s solutions will wipe out American jobs.

Last spring, Quayl$ opposed the global wanning treaty that was set to be signed, By saying: ”... we simply cannot abdicate our sovereignty and our decisions to some international body that doesn’t like the fact that the United States is a prosperous and wealthy country.”

All I care about is having the congress do something in actuality. So many times we heard about moving the dump. Nothing has been done. Period.

When alegitimatecompany like UMDA tries to help out, the con­gress turns around and makes it

look like it (UMDA) is doing something sinful. Don’t you people have something better to do then have your pictures taken and posted in the news? It took you (our leaders) forever to pass the budget What makes you think you can handle the dump situa­tion. I ’d say forever judging by the way you handle things here in the CNMI.

Mr. Villagomez,, before you accuse somebody or a company of“blackmail”,think twice. Don;t just say something for the sake of saying something. As a leader you should always keep an untarnished profile. Treat your people fairly. You should also take lessons on Public Relations. The word “blackmail” can get

you into a whole lot of trouble. I suggest you don’t use it again unless you have proof.

I”d like to challenge you to two things: 1, do something about moving the dump to Marpi within 1 to 2 years. 2, stay in North Garapan when the dump is burn­ing and smoking. See how you like it.

I f a one would like to have the dump moved once and for all. What I don’t like is to have the government involved in the op­eration. Let the private companies handle it. There are some of us whohavemore faith in the priv ate industry than the government these days.

Name withheld by request.

Torres waits for Nakamoto’s replyDear Editor:I wish you and the public to

know that I have requested the President of Nakamoto Enter­prises to answer one question - “Who supports his project?” I

hope he answers this as soon as possible.

Since almost everyone I know is against his project being located in the Garapan Samoan Housing Area, it will be very interesting to

learn exacuy who they are.And when I find out, I ’ll let all

of you know.

Comments on Inos’ removalDear Editor:Over the past few weeks, I have

read with interest the comments of a certain “Rotanese” regarding the performance and ouster of Senator Joseph Inos as president of the Senate. This “Rotanese", who can hardly be considered a Rotanese since he has not lived here for three decades, has oozed praise for the former Senate president all over the various lo­cal newspapers. Unfortunately, his comments leave a lot unsaid about the reasons why former Senate President Inos was re­moved from the Senate leader­ship.

An impression was left with the reader that Inos was removed be­cause of his stance on the budget. It was his actions with regard to

the budget that was the last straw. Let’s consider the sequence of events that led to his ouster.

Senator Inos displayed an airo- gance and an abusive attitude re­garding his office as Senate president. This was manifested by his lashing out inappropriately at the different senators. He stripped Senator Cing of his committee chairmanship, and, after Senator Cing was appointed by Senate resolution to be in­volved with the 902 Consulta­tions, Senator Inos met privately with thegovem a to dissuade him from approving the appointment. He verbally assailed Senate Vice President Borja for assuming the leadership of the Senate in Inos’ absence.

He consistently failed to con-

duct leadership meetings. At his own discretion and without con­sultation o f anyone, Senator Inos personally shifted the funds allo­cated to the different individual senators. He consistently failed to recognize the other senators as his equals.

He was very manipulative. He attempted to include a provision in the last budget that would en­able him alone to control all the Senate funds. He even wanted to include a provision that would g uaran tee him as p residen t throughout the 8th legislature. He would also frequently demon­strate one direction of action, and then privately do the opposite.

Finally, on the issue of the bud­get, no praise should go to him on

Letters. . . continued from pages____________________ DFS commitment to youthhis performance. Where was his leadership when he allowed the budgettobe 11 months late? What kind of leader would allow the community to suffer from his fiscal inaction? He is largely to blame for allowing the govern­ment to go into a budgetary crisis.

I think clearly senator Inos grossly abused the office of Sen-

ate president. He was not there for the benefit of the people of the CNMI but, rather, his own per­sonal gain. He acted more like a tyrant than an elected Senate president

I applaud the senators for tak­ing action in the best interest of the peop le o f the N orthern . Mtfrianas by removing Senator

Inos from the leadership and re­placing him with someone more capable of leading the Senate and serving the people.

Let’s all stand behind our new Senate president Senator Juan Demapan, and support his efforts to better our islands.

Dear Editor:I would like to take this op­

portunity to publicly thank Duty Free Shoppers and especially Virginia Reyes and Marian Aldan Pierce.

Your community mindedness and commitment to the island youth was demonstrated by do­nating the use of your training room for that SAT preparation class. Because of your generos­ity, students are able to study and

prepare in a comfortable and pro­fessional learning environment There is no doubt in my mind that this will assist the students in getting the most they can out of these preparation classes.

This is a fine precedence which you are setting and I hope that other island groups will follow DFS lead in providing for the island’s youth.

Sincerely,/s/Cliff Friedman

Demapan’s confirmationDear Editor:In the October 21,1992, Saipan

Cable TV news report there was a story regarding the letters I sent to Governor Guerrero and Senate President Demapan. The story had certain overtones and impli­cations which were not intended either by me personally nor by the CNMI Bar Association.

At one point in the story, the reporter was displaying a copy of the Bar Association’s letters and he commented that a Bar Asso­ciation official had stated an opinion regarding the qualifica­tions of Judge Demapan to be a judge. The obvious implication being, based on the copy of the letter in the background, that I was that Bar Association official. That is not true. If such an opin­ion was expressed by some Bar Association officer,,that person was expressing his or her own r,

personal opinion and not that of the Bar Association. The whole point of the letters in question was to highlight the Bar Association’s dissatisfaction with the process, because we were not given suffi­cient opportunity to determine what the position of the Bar Asso · dation was.. Thenewsreportinquestionalso reported some information from the minutes of the Bar Associa­tion meeting of October 15,1992. The reported requested a copy of those minutes from me, but I de­nied his request because the minutes are not official until they are approved by the general membership at the next monthly meeting, which is not until the third Thursday in November.

Finally, I must point out that I would not have written nor signed a letter whose intent was to in any

Letters...continued from page 6way insult, discredit or embarrass Judge Demapan. I think the text of the letters is clear and unam­biguous and there are no words which in anyway call into ques­tion the character or integrity of

Judge Demapan. Quite simply, the bar was complaining about the process used and Judge Demapan had no control over that process. Furthermore, the main concern of the letter was that the problem be fixed in the future.

I sincerely hope the writing and publishing of this letter will set the record straight. I further

apologize to Judge Demapan for any embarrassment which the mischaracterization of the Bar Association letters has caused him.

Hearing on HB 8-159 sought(The author o f the following

H onorable Thom as P. V i­llagomez

Speaker and Member of the House of Representatives

Eight Commonwealth Legisla­ture

Saipan, MP 96950 Subject: House Bill 8-159 Dear Mr. Speaker and Mem­

bers of the House:It is alarming when the citizens

of the Commonwealth has to write to the House of Representatives

to demand public hearing in order that the general public must be heard.

House Bill 8 -1 5 9 introduced by Rep. Pedro R. Guerrero, to delete the four-year limitation of nonresident workers by repealing 3 CMC section 4322 (j) and amending section 4411 (b), is absolutely biased. It seems that this bill is being rushed to encour­age other legislators to pass it without listening to public con­cerns.

Since the citizens of the Com­monwealth are the victims of over population, I sincerely hope that

the legislators would call for public input This issue of alien workers’ employment duration is critical, now and in the near future, and it should not be considered as just a piece of legislation.

It is very important to have a public hearing on H.B. 8-159. Let the people of the Commonwealth decide on this critical issue, not the Saipan Chamber of Commerce or self-interest individuals. Saipan, Tinian and Rota are very small islands and we should not let out­side influence dictate our destiny:

Sincerely yours,/s/Bemie £ . Reyes

Correcting Managaha story Wanted: pen palDear Editor:In the release titled

“Managaha’s a Hot Local Desti­nation” distributed 10/22/92, there is a significant factual error, for which we apologize. The ac­companying release corrects the error and the following correc­tion is offered to the story. Our apologies.

Correction: A recent story dis­tributed by Bruce Lloyd Media Services said that local residents on Saipan are provided with free transportation to Managaha Is-

land by Tasi Tours & Transporta­tion, Inc., which holds the exclu­sive recreational concession on the island. More than 10,000 such residents received free transpor­tation from Tasi in both 1990 and 1991 and the numbers are higher in 1992. The story incorrectly said that round trip tickets to Managaha Island cost S7 to those who must pay for them. The actual price of round trip tickets to Managaha being provided free to local residents is $15. We regret the error.

The two men allegedly argued. Rekemsik allegedly got abig stone and Brel the baseball bat. The police report said Brel was able to strike first.

Brel was arrested shortly after the incident. He posted a $10,000 property bond for temporary re­lease.

Records of the case showed that prior to goverment’s filing of the motion to dismiss, Public De­fender Daniel DeRienzo asked the court to suppress the testimonies of the victim and of witnesses Ray Kesolei and Steve Ngirked.

The public defender told the court that the assistant attorney general failed to provide him (DeRienzo) the opportunity to contact witnesses.

G ill’s failure to do so, said DeRienzo, prejudiced Brel.

De Rienzo said he tried getting the address or telephone numbers of the victim and the witnesses but was allegedly told by Gill that she did not have the information.

The public defender said it was not true that Gill had no informa­tion about the address of the vic­tim and the witnesses, saying, he learned that an investigator had interviewed Rekemsik.

Lastmonth, the government also withdrew the criminal case con­cerning the murder of Kuniyoshi Ishii in Tanapag beach.

Assistant Attorney General Jane Arthur-Burkhart filed a motion to dismiss the case against suspects Lee Norita, N orita’s brothers George and Vicente and their friends Vicente A. Dablan and Roy Magofna on Sept. 16.

-Burkhart declined to disclose the reason for her having with­drawn the case but said the gov­ernment “might make a come­back.”

The case has not been refiled·

Embile said a Catholic need not limit himself to praying to saints officially declared by the Vatican. “You can also pray to afive-year-

■ old or any child who died and who has not yet committed a mortal sin,” the priest said.

On All Souls’ Day the prayers are said for the dead, for them to be pardoned of sins committed. “They need prayers. They need our help,” Embile said.

Most of Saipan’s residents are expected to observe All Saints’ and All Souls’ because about 90 percent of the entire population are estimated by the diocese to be Catholics.

As part of the commemoration, Embile said priests would be go­ing around cemeteries to bless tombs.

On Sunday, masses will be held at Mount Carmel Cathedral, San Roque Cemetery, Chalan Kanoa Cemetery,Japanese Cemetery and Lower Base Cemetery.

Masses will also be said at the Mt. Carmel Cathedral, San Roque C em etery, G arapan Church, Tanapag Village Cemetery, Cha­lan Kanoa Cemetery, New Vil­lage Cemetery in Tinian and the old cemetery in Rota.

He expressed optimism that with the disconnection drive, CUC might be able to improve its collection to enable it to pay its obligations.

“Our delinquency rate is rising up to about 40 percent monthly and this is telling on our cash flow. The $2 million we need to collect would help us with our fuel purchase debts with Shell Marianas,” Guerrero said.

CUC collects an average of $2.8 million monthly.

He warned customers that it would be better if they do some­thing and not continue with the habit of having their bills pile up.

CUC customers are given 15- day notices plus another 48 hours to pay their bills.

Guerrero said commercial us­ers have a very low delinquency rate.

“Business are mostly up to date with accounts reaching only about 20-30 days delinquent. These are mostly the mom and pop stores which maintain their accounts at a manageable level,” he said.

During the same interview Guerrero said he was not in favor of granting the request of the Ho­tel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands (HANMI) for a 20 percent discount on CUC power rates.

HANMI made the request in response to calls from the gov­ernment for the hotels to utilize CUC-generated power. Most of the big hotels on the island have their own power generators.

In ano ther developm ent, Guerrero said utility services in R ota and T in ian should be privatized to reduce the burden on CUC’s operations in Saipan.

He said CUC in Saipan had been subsidizing operations in Rota by as much as $2.4 million yearly and Tinian by as much as $900,000.

Cing changes mind; won’t sue Camacho

By Rafael H. Arroyo

SENATOR David m. Cing said yesterday he would not pursue an earlier plan to sue Public Safety Director Gregorio M. Camacho in connection with the kicking incident at the Legislature on August 11.

“After getting an assurance that such a thing won’t happen again to any other member of the Legis­lature and any elected official, I would rest may case,” the senator from Tinian said.

Cing and Camacho met last Friday in the presence of Gover­nor Lorenzo I. Guerrero and Sen­ate President Juan S. Demapan.

Also present at the meeting were A ttorney G eneral Robert C. Naraja and Senate Legal Counsel Pam Brown.

“The director admitted he may have made a mistake and I took that as a good gesture. What I insisted on was his word that such action would not happen again,” Cing said.

During yesterday’s interview Cing said he did not want the incident to set a precedent.

“What I want protected here is

the integrity of the office of an elected official representing the people of the CNMI,” he said.

He described his relationship with Camacho as cordial, the two having seen each other a number of times after the incident.

The incident happened during the crisis over the fiscal year 1992 budget when Camacho and sev­eral DPS employees picketed the Legislature for its failure to pass the budget.

As C ing ’s car entered the Legislature’s parking lot, he passed by Camacho who engaged the senator in an argument that led to a shouting m atch.

The argum ent ended with C am acho a lleged ly kicking C in g ’s ca r and h ittin g the senator on the arm prom pting the la tte r to file a com plaint w ith the A ttorney G eneral and later to the police fo r assault· and battery .

C am acho filed a counter­com plain t against Cing for allegedly trespassing in a DPS facility and for calling his men “coconut heads.”

C am acho was not available for com m ent yesterday.

M uslim rebels¥

take custody o f Am erican m issionaryISABELA, Philippines (AP) - Muslim secessionist rebels have taken custody of an American missionary who was abducted last week by bandits on the southern island of Basilan, the Basilan governor said Thursday.

Gov. Jerry Salapuddin said Augustine Frazczack, believed to be from Michigan, was taken from his kidnappers by a “responsible commander” of the Moro National Liberation Front, the main se­cessionist faction.

“I was told the MNLF took the missionary from the kidnappers because they did not favor the kidnaping of a religious person­ality and hopefully their intention of taking Brother Gus was so that they can ensure his safe release,” Salapuddin said.

Salapuddin, a former separtist leader, said the rebels took Frazczack (pronounced “frashak”) to the town of Tipo- tipo, 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of this provincial capital and about 830 kilometers (520 miles) south of Manila.

Police could not immediately confirm Salapuddin’s informa­tion.

Superin tendent A ntonio Garado, deputy commander of the provincial police, said the kid­nappers have demanded a 2 mil­lion peso ($80,000) ransom for Frazczack.

Garado said the Rev. Gabriel Bertos, a Filipino Roman Catho­lic priest, showed him a letter hand-written by Frazczack asking his colleagues to “exert all efforts to raise the amount or a lesser amount agreeable to the kidnap­pers.”

“My life here is very hard,” Garado quoted from the letter, which was delivered by a courier to Bertos on Tuesday.

Basilan Bishop Rornulo dc la C ruz said in a sta tem ent Wednesday that Frazczack was abducted by five armed men Oct. 22 while.he was. walking with B ertos in the v illag e of Mamburing in Tuburan town, where they conduct a regular health program.

Early police reports said ten gunmen accosted Frazczack and Bertos while they were on a mo­torcycle on their way to Mamburing to treat sick children.

O u t a g eTHE COMMONWEALTH Utili­ties Corp. is scheduling a power outage for Feeder No. 3 on Satur­day, Oct. 31, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., from Lower B ase ,' Gualo Rai, Chalan Laulau, San Jose, Susupe and portion of Chalan Kanoa.

Doctors focus on child pain

By A. J. Hostetler

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Even within the last decade, some in­fants had surgery without anesthe­sia, because doctors thought they couldn’tremember pain and didn’t feel it the way adults do.

Doctors now realize not only that children feel pain, but that not treating it is worse than unkind. It could cause harm.

“The concept that children are entitled topain control isnowflrmly entrenched,” said Neil Schechter, a pediatrician at the University of Connecticut and St. Francis Hos­pital.

In 1987, an article describing the effects of heart surgery in infants without anesthesia “pierced the indifference” of the medical com­munity toward pain in their young patients, Schechter said.

Doctors now believe the child qpn play a part in determining the pain relief.

When 11-year-old M ichael Bums had hip replacement surgery becauseof juvenile arthritis,he was fitted with an intravenous morphine pump. He decided when his pain needed easing, a useful approach for people who may not be able to talk clearly about their pain.

Two days after surgery, Michael said the hurt was “not too much,” as opposed to right after the opera­tion, when it bothered him “pretty much.” Andhismom’sfearswere eased, as well.

“It was one of my worst night­mares,” Jean Bum said, standing near Michael’s bed at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “There’s nothing you can do when the medication doesn’t help.”

Pain prompts the body to release stress hormones, such as adrena­line. These, in turn, increase blood clotting, raise metabolism, promote the breakdown of tissue and have other unwanted effects. Animal studies even suggest that pain weakens the body’s immune sys­tem protection against infection.·

Those who receive aggressive pain treatment have fewer compli­cations, recover faster, go home sooner andhavelowerhospital bills, experts say. Still, pediatric pain does not get the attention many doctors think it deserves.

Children experience moderate to severe pain in as many as 60 per­cent of hospital procedures but many do not receive any pain medication, according to a panel for the US Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, which in March issued guidelines for the first time on pain treatment.

“It’s not that we don’t have the methods to ease pain and suffer­ing,” said Dr. Barbara Shapiro of Children’s Hospital of Philadel­phia, who with Schechter served on the pain panel’s committee on children and infants.

Doctors have fine-tuned doses of painkillers for children and have developed new ways _ like Michael’s pump _ to deliver the drugs.

“It used to be that the child’s family would have had to ask for pain relief,” said Dr. David E. Cohen of Children’s Hospital. “Now, it’s ‘Yes, your child will have pain, and we’ll do our best to prevent i t ’”

Still, several factors may keep some doctors from fully treating pediatric pain.

Pain management has been “eclipsed”bymedicine’shigh-tech approaches to the cause of illness, Shapiro said. The medical profes­sion has all but ignored pain as an effect of illness.

Doctors also may not prescribe enough relief because they don’t fully understand how pain medica­tion works or how it might affect a child’s respiratory system, or be­cause they fear addiction.

The “Just Say No” to drugs campaign has only reinforced society’s belief that drugs of any sort are bad, said Cohen. “Addic­tion is not an issue realistically, but there is that fear in that society thinks drugs are bad for you.”

Students apprehend sea turtle poacherTHE DIVISION of Fish and Wild­life would like to extend a special thank you to the schoolchildren at San Vicente Elementary School for their help in apprehending a sea turtle poacher.

The incident took place at Lau- Lau Beach where the students saw a man that taking a turtle from the water. The students, informed the man that taking turtles is illegal and

formed a human chain around the poacher.

They got his license plate number and then contacted DFW conserva­tion officers about the incident Their contribution to the conservation of our island’s natural resources de­serves recognition and serves as an example of appropriate behavior when people see CNMI laws being violated.

It is always encouraging to the DFW to see this kind of action, especially among the young popu­lation. This shows that the teachers are educating the schoolchildren about critical environmental and natural resources issues.

It also shows that the schoolchil­dren are listening andwant to play an active role in preserving wildlife in the Commonwealth.

Today, Crime Stoppers consists of approximately 850 organiza­

tions with member nations, in­cluding the United States, En­gland, Africa, Australia and the Netherlands. It is responsible, as of August 1991 in the collective solving of more than $ 1.9 million in stolen property and narcotics and convicting 96 percent of the defendants arrested.

He further stated that the board would be actively going out to reach the community via the schools, me­dia and other organizations.

Camacho said that while the group was under funded, it could do the job through the generous donations of private businesses.

18-B-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-FRIDAY-OCTOBER 30.1992

C ham ber d rafts tran sp o rt p lanPROPOSAL that could ease the woes of earless persons and ease traffic congestion during rush hours has been drafted by the Saipan Chamber of Commerce’s mass transit sub-committee.

The proposal, p resen ted

Wednesday by sub-committee chairman Clyde Keys, calls for the establishment of a bus trans­port system in Saipan at an initial cost of S2.27 million and the cre­ation of a Mass Transit Authority as a supervisory body.

SCC Executive Director Dino M. Jones said the proposal would be evaluated by the chamber board. The board decides whether or not it will be forwarded to the Office of Governor Lorenzo I. Guerrero as a formal proposal of

Mount Carmel choir a hit in Rota

THE MOUNT Carmel Grade School Honor Choir and their m usic director, Gina Aguilar, made a hit at the Rota Fiesta.

The special trip was made possible through the support and generosity of the parents who paid

the air fare and accommodations, and the San Francisco de Borja fiesta committee. Sister Mary Benedict who is principal of Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja, Father Manny Corcuera, and families from Rota who hosted

the choir members.The school is m ost appre­

ciative of the staff and m an­agem ent o f A lliance Air and Joaquin Dela Cruz, the PTA president, for coordinating the flights.

SCC.In two years, if government

adopts the proposal, buses would be shuttling passengers inlO- minute intervals on Beach Road and in 30-minute intervals on less busy, mostly residential routes.

The proposal includes initial acquisition of 20 buses for regu­lar passengers and three para- transit vehicles for the disabled.

The buses are estimated to be worth S60.000 each and the para- transit vehicles S45.000 each.

Other expenses included in the proposed S2.27-milIion capital outlay are for administration, operations, maintenance, office equipment and training.

But because of government’s budget constraints, proponents of the mass transit system suggested that government impose a gasoline tax to generate money for the project.

The proponents also want avia­tion fuel to be taxed at 1/12 the rate of the gasoline tax that would be imposed.

“The reason behind the tax is this: driving a private automobile on public roads is not a right but rather a privilege which must be

paid for,” said the proposal.Aviation fuel, the proposal said,

will be taxed 1/12 the rate of gasoline tax, because visitors coming to Saipan mostly by plane usually stay at least one month. “Their use of the roadway must be paid for as well,” the proposal said.

With the buses, the proponents said, there will be less people using private cars, a solution to the growing traffic congestion prob­lem in Saipan streets.

There are an estimated 17,000 vehicles in Saipan, a tremendous increase in the number of vehicles five years back, proponents of the public buses said.

“It is clear that Saipan is com­ing of age 'and a mass transit system would be a benefit. All individuals, families, companies,. governments and countries are empowered by improvements in . their means of transportation. The more efficient and dependable the system the greater the empower­ment,” the proposal said.

Council eyes projects that focus on local traditionsWASHINGTON - Last February, the Commonwealth of the North­ern Mariana Islands Council for the Humanities (CCH) became the 55th — and most recent — hu­manities council to be established under the auspices of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

This month, as the CCH review its first round of applications for public programs in the humanities, reviewers will be on the lookout for projects that focus on the customs and traditions of the indigenous peoples.

“The Chamorros and Carolin­ians now find themselves both a cultural and numerical minority in their own homel and,” said William R. Barrineau, executive director of the new council. “We seek not: only to preserve these fragile cul­tures but also to examine their re­lationships with more recently in­troduced Asian and Western cul­tures. Residents of the Northern Marianas — both native peoples and incomers alike — will have opportunities to study together the past, present and future of their commonwealth.”

TheNorthem Marianas,agroupbf 14 islands located some 2,000 miles west of Hawaii, has been a self- governing commonwealth in union with the United States since 1976.

The 55 humanities councils are located in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Marianas. The councils’ mandate is to provide financial sup­port for public humanities programs tailored to fit the intellectual needs and interests of people in varying locales.

Northwest’s Asian flight attendants can’t work in USEAGAN, Minn. (AP) - Northwest Airlines has decided not to offer its Asian flight attendants a chance to work in the United States after its roposal prompted protests.Joe Leonard, Northwest’s executive vice president for customer

service, relayed the decision Monday to representatives from Teamsters Local 2000, the union that represents Northwest’s 10,000 US flight attendants.

“They understand our feelings about the program and have decided not to pursue the program, and we’re very pleased with the outcome,” said Lisa Hirshman, Local 2000 vice president.

Earlier this month, the union sent a letter of protest to Chief Executive Officer John Dasburg, claiming the program implied a lack of confi­dence in US flight attendants and threatened to take jobs away from Americans.

In the pitch to the Pacific Region flight attendants, the company said it needed their “irreplaceable Asian service touch” to attract ana keep customers. Success in thePacific Region is one of the keys to North west’s survival.

European Parliam ent approves unification

By Elizabeth D. Wise

STRASBOURG, France (AP) - The European Parliament late Wednesday gave a vital go-ahead to the opening of the world’s larg­est single market by next year, welcoming what they called a “historic transform ation” of Western Europe.

The European Economic Area would join together in a single trade zone the European Community’s 12 member states with seven countries comprising the European Free Trade Asso­ciation.

In a 351-16 vote, deputies ap­proved the accord they said comprised thousands of pages and took four years to negotiate, then

applauded wildly as the vote was counted.

“The European Parliament to­night stands on the brink of a historic transformation,” said British deputy Gary Titley. He called the vote “a major political watershed that ends the historic division in Western Europe.”

The accord, which must be ratified by national parliaments of all 19 countries, needed the Europarliament’s approval before it could take effect.

‘This is the broadest and most important agreement the EC has ever entered into,” said Danish deputy Marie Jepsen, who led the European Parliament’s debate on the EEA agreement.

The act envisions the free

movement of people, goods, ser­vices and capital by Jan. 1 in an area with 380 million consumers that deputies said accounts for 46 percent of the world’s trade.

The pact also establishes joint efforts in areas such as consumer protection, the environment, and research and development.

British Foreign Office Minister Tristan Garel-Jones said the abo­lition of trade barriers “from the arctic coast of Norway to the southern tip of Sicily, from Lisbon in the west to Vienna in the east” would make business deals much easier to realize.

The resulting boost to Europe’s economy would also help con­sumers to have “more choice and lower prices,” he added.

Japan to resum e aid to Vietnam

WASHINGTON (AP) - Japan has informed the United States that it will resume economic aid to Vietnam shortly after next week’s presidential election, the W ashington Post reported Wednesday.

The Japanese decision would open a major new breach in the U S-led econom ic em bargo against Vietnam.

The Post quoted administration officials as saying the Japanese decision may be announced about Nov. 6. Previously, at a US re­quest, the Japanese had postponed resumption of aid to Vietnam, which they had intended to start in August.

The paper quoted a State De­partment official as saying that the Japanese had been most co­operative with US policies toward

Vietnam, suggesting that US re­action to the new Japanese deci­sion will be muted.

The United States is currently involved in a review of its rela­tionship with Vietnam after the Vietnamese provided access to extensive archives dealing with the fate of US prisoners of war and missing servicemen.

The Bush administration has held off on improving relations because of lack of progress in determining the fate of 2,265 Americans in the Vietnam War.

The future of the trade embargo and normalization of -diplomatic relations are issues under review by the US administration fol­lowing the opening of Vietnam­ese records including 4,800 photographs of American war dead and prisoners.

Arab negotiators turn to US for help in talks with Israel

By Barry Schweid

WASHINGTON (AP) - Frus­trated Arab negouators asked the US government Wednesday to help them win concessions from Israel, and the top State Department offi­cial encouraged J ames A. B aker in to resume his Mideast shuttle di­plomacy after the presidential election.

“I think it would be great if he did,” Acting Secretary of State Lawrence S. Eagleburger said as he flew to Tokyo for an 80-nation conference on the economic troubles confronting the former Soviet republics. “I think he could make a big difference.”

Eagleburger took over for B aker when Baker shifted to the White House to run President Bush’s re- election campaign.

With peace talks set to go into election recess until Nov. 9, Hanan Ashrawi, spokeswoman for the Palestinian delegation, said the United States should be “more of a driving force, a peace broker” when the negotiations are resumed.

And Muwaffiq al-Allaf, Syria’s chief negotiator, said the United States “might be invited to help” if Israel continued to link security issues to territorial withdrawal.

He accused Israel of distorting UN Security Council land-for- peace resolutions by tying security measures to any pull-back from the occupied Golan Heights and

said a deadlock had set in.But Israeli negotiator Itamar

Rabinovich said security was a “core issue” and that “deadlock is in the eye of the beholder some­times.”

Assistant Secretary of State EdwardP. Djerejianmet separately with Israeli and Syrian negotia­tors. Earlier in the round he held similar talks with Palestinian, Lebanese and Jordanian delegates.

“We’ve done a lot to facilitate the talks and will continue to do so,” said Joseph P. Snyder, a State Department spokesman.

Another US official said Djerejian was suggesting ways to bridge differences. The official, who spoke on condition of ano­nymity, refused to provide any examples.

Baker set up the Middle East peace conference, which opened a year ago in Madrid, Spain, with arduous, repeated trips to the re­gion. When he resigned in August to become Bush’s chief of staff, he said he would keep a hand in the negotiations.

Eagleburger plans to retire in , January.

The negotiations are designed to prompt peace agreements between Israel and three Arab countries, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, and to set the stage for limited Palestinian self-mle in the occupied Wes t B ank and in Gaza. “So far there has been no progress cm the issues,”

Palau electionTHIS IS to notify all Palauan citi­zens in the Commonwealth who are eligible to vote in the Republic of Palau that the general election for president, vice president, sena­tors, delegates and the plebiscite to amend the constitution of Palau will take place at the old legislature

building (house of representatives) across Marianas High school, on Susupe, Saipan, from 7 :00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, No­vember 4,1992.

Muslims threatened with exterminationGENEVA (AP) - A UN investi­gator said Wednesday Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina “are virtually threatened with extermination” because of ethnic cleansing by Serbs.

“Ethnic cleansing does not ap­pear to be the consequence of the war but rather its goal,” Tadeusz Mazowiecki, a UN human rights envoy, said in a report. “This goal, to a large extent, has already been achieved through killings, beatings, rape, destruction of houses and threats.”

The former Polish premier, who had announced his main findings Monday ahead of the report’s publication, said Bosnian Serb leaders have pursued their plan while negotiating peace in Geneva.

He said “the Muslim population are the principal victims and are virtually threatened with extermi­nation.”

The report to the UN Human Rights Commission reported evi­dence of mass graves near the Croatian town of Vukovar, “some of which contain victims of atroci­

ties.” Vukovar fell to Serb forces in a fierce baule in last year’s war in Croatia.

US forensic expert Clyde Snow said in the report he found remains of young men over 10 by 30 meters (yards) at the head of a ravine, about 2 kilometers southeast of the village of Ovcara.

The discovery appeared to con­firm witness accounts that about 175 patients from Vukovar hospi­tal disappeared after its evacuation last Nov. 20, Snow said.

Witnesses said lightly wounded civilian men and soldiers were separated from women, children and the elderly and taken away on Yugoslav National Army buses. The captives were taken to a garage in Ovcara, where two were beaten to death by Yugoslav soldiers and Serb paramilitaries. By the evening, prisonsers were divided intogroups of 20 and driven by truck to the ravine, according to witnessescitedbySnow.

Snow didnot say howmany bodies might be in the mass grave or indicate where or how the victims might have been killed.

A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH

1. On October 1,1992, Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. reluctantly filed suit in the Superior Court to enforce the lease agreement between Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. and Marianas Public Land Corporation. MPLC on September 3,1992 sent a letter to Nakamoto enterprises, Ltd. cancelling the lease. In that letter Mr. William R. Concepcion, Executive Director of MPLC stated thatthe reason forthe cancellation was afailure of Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. to acquire and transfer two privately owned lots in the Samoan Housing Area to the Commonwealth Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a public park.

\

2. The two lots are owned by a corporation called Commonwealth Investment Company, Inc. Mr. Nakamoto agreed to the price demanded by Commonwealth Investment Company, Inc. and was able, ready and willing to pay for the two lots to secure their transfer to DNR. Unfortunately Commonwealth Investment Company, Inc. was unable due to defects in its ownership of the lots to make a transfer of clear title to DNR. Thus Nakamoto enterprises, Ltd. was placed in the position of paying considerable sums of money to Commonwealth Investment Company, Inc. while Commonwealth Investment Company, Inc. refused to provide a full warranty deed to the Department of Natural Resources so that the department could established the park which Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. further agreed in the lease documents to development.

3. While the lease agreement provides for extensions of time to he given to either party underthe ’ease -OiO'e mambaa: arise -net are beyond true parties control, as this situation was, the : / :ada : of d b a a a a reotse to ignore this prevision and attempted to cancel the lease.

4. As a result of the Board’s action the two privately owned lots will not be acquired and turned over to the public. Further, Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. was prepared to begin construction of virtually the only substantial scale development in Saipan for the foreseeable future. The company is prepared to invest several tens of millions of dollars in the construction of a first class resort hotel, establish a recreation center for the elderly, contribute large sums of money for infrastructure development in the Garapan area and was further obligated to train and employ local persons in hotel management. Due to the size of development, the tax revenues generated as well as lease rentals on the projects promise to be sizeable. All of the foregoing will be taking place in an atmosphere of little or no sizeable foreign investment in the Commonwealth for the foreseeable future.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1992 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-33

Report of impeachment committee out todayTHE HOUSE Special Commit­tee on Executive Actions has completed its investigation on the recent actions o f G overnor Lorenzo I. Guerrero and is set to submit its report to Speaker Tho­mas P. Villagomez today, com­mittee Chairman Pete P. Reyes said yesterday.

Arrest of 2 men yields ammunition, marijuanaTWO MEN in their 20s who were arrested for creating trouble at a Garapan club before dawn yesterday, were found in posses­sion of a bullet and leafy sub­stance believed to be marijuana.

Police Chief Antonio A. Reyes identified the arrested men as Marvin Pangelinan, 20, a resident o f Susupe, and A ntonio Pangelinan, 23, of Chalan Kanoa.

A police report did not indicate whether the two Pangelinans are relatives.

At about 2 a.m., a bouncer at Remington Club called for police assistance because the two young men were allegedly shouting at the bouncer.

One of the police officers who responded to the call found a 410- gauge shotgun bullet in the pos­session o f the older Pangelinan when he was searched shortly before taken into the police car.

The younger Pangelinan was allegedly found trying to conceal on board a police car, a small plastic bag with the leafy sub­stance while being taken to the central station in Susupe.

Complaints of obstructing jus­tice and disturbing the peace were filed against the two men. In ad­dition, Antonio Pangelinan would face charges of illegal possession of ammunition and the younger Pangelinan, illegal possession of controlled substance, Reyes said.

In another police report, an eight-year-old boy was slightly injured while playing on a slide at the San Vicente Elem entary School.

The child was treated at the Commonwealth Health Center but was immediately released.

At least two burglary incidents were reported between Wednes­day morning and early yesterday.

One of the burglaries took place at a residence . t Capitol Hill but the occupant told police items in the house have to be inventoried to determine if the burglar, who broke in through a window, took valuable items.

Also early yesterday, a man complained that his room at the Golden Star Hotel in Garapan was burglarized. Cheng Mu Jiang, 34, claimed he lost a handbag con­taining almost $1,000 and his Chinese passport.

Villagomez created the special committee on Sept. 30, and gave it 30 days or until today to submit its report.

“We have finished our job and we’re finalizing our report just in time for the deadline. I think I can say I am satisfied with the work we in the committee did,” Reyes said in an interview .

He refused to give specific de­tails of the report.

He said he could not release copies of the report until the speaker received his copy.

Villagomez, who attended a conference of the Pacific Region Educational Laboratory in Hono­

lulu, is expected to be back today.Reyes, who spent almost the

whole morning yesterday work­ing on the report, said all mem­bers of his committee should be credited for a job well done.

“Our findings are very fair and objective. As promised, we did not engage in any witch-hunting and based our decisions only on the f acts we gathered, no more, no

less,” he said.Reyes also denied reports that

the alleged offenses of the gov­ernor had long been judged as not impeachable, rendering the committee report “moot.”

Russian spies start watching neighbors

By Wendy Sloane

MOSCOW (AP) -Russia’s spies will start watching neighbors in the former Soviet republics and other nations to defend itself against nuclear and chemical weapons, an intelligence official said Wednesday.

Gennady Yevstafiev, the head o f the new D epartm ent for Weapons Control and Non-Pro­liferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, said his agents will operate inside and outside the former Soviet Union.

“We would prefer not to have other nuclear states along our borders or states having mass- destruction weapons," Yevstafiev told reporters.

He singled out Pakistan, be­lieved to have the capability of making a nuclear bomb, as a country causing Russia particular “anxiety,” as well asNorthKorea.

“There used to be certain con­cern about developments in North Korea, and this concern has not been completely eliminated,” he said.

Yevstafiev said the likelihood

that either superpower would use nuclear or chemical weapons has , been reduced following the end of the Cold War, but that such arms could be used in regional clashes in or around the former Soviet Union.

Yevstafiev said nuclear terror­ism is now a possibility in the former Soviet Union.

Centralized control over the former Soviet nuclear arsenal no longer exists. All short-range nuclear weapons have been trans­ferred to Russian control, but long- range weapons remain in Ukrain.

Greenpeace ship towed out of portCHERBOURG, France (AP) - Tugs towed a Greenpeace vessel out of port Wednesday under a French expulsion order, but an­other took its place in staking out the imminent arrival of a Japa­nese freighter that will take on a cargo of deadly plutonium.

About a dozen activists from the environmental group refused to sail the converted riverboat Beluga out of French territorial waters Wednesday morning as ordered. A pair of tugs towed the unm anned craft outside Cherbourg harbor and anchored it there.

The Greenpeace boat Moby Dick meanwhile pulled into port late Tuesday, taking over the Beluga’s job of informing the public of the dangers in shipping plutonium, Greenpeace spokes­woman Elizabeth Mealey said in London.

Authorities said the Beluga’s

expulsion stemmed from from at­tempts by Greenpeace militants to illegallyenterCherbourg’smilitary port.

Environmental activists and journalists are awaiting the arrival of the Akatsuki Mam, a freighter that will take on 1.7 tons of pluto­nium and bring it to Japan.

The arrival was expected by Tuesday, but the ship has not been sighted and officials refuse for se­curity reasons to say when it will dock.

France’s nuclear-fuel treatment agency, COGEM A, has processed the plutonium from spent Japanese nuclear-reactor fuel. The shipment is the first of 30 tons of plutonium that COGEMA will ship to Japan this decade under a dlrs 4 billion contract

Environmental activists liken the 99-meter (326-foot) ship to a “floatingChemobyr’andfearsthat an accident could kill tens of

thousands. Questions have also been raised whether terrorists might try to seize the vessel, protected by a Japanese coast guard boat.

Greenpeace, which maintains the cargo could be used to build 120 crude nuclear devices, vows toshadowtheshiphome and warn countries of its passage. France refuses to disclose the route.

Argentina, South Africa, Chile, Malaysia and several South Pa­cific countries have expressed reluctance to let the Akatsuki Mam enter their territorial waters.

Plutonium is one of the world’s most deadly substances. A speck inhaled can kill a man. It is also used to contruct nuclear bombs, though the plutonium in question is not weapons-grade.

Japanese Foreign Ministry of­ficials confirmed Wednesday that Frace has asked for more infor­mation on shipboard fire safety.

Japan’s vehicle exports drop 1.1% to 2.73M

TOKYO (AP) - Japan’s vehicle exports in the first half of fiscal 1992 declined from year-earlier levels for the sixth consecutive year despite an 8.1 percent in­crease in September, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers As­sociation said Wednesday.

The association attributed the decline to a slump in the US market.

In the fiscal year’s first half, April-September, Japan’s exports feH by 1.1 percent from the same sixmonthsof 1991 to2.73million vehicles, said an association of­ficial, speaking on condition of anonymity.

He said exports to the United States fell by 16.1 percent to 788,761 vehicles.

Total vehicle and parts exports, meanwhile, were valued at dlrs .29.6 billion, up 10.7 percent from the April-September period of 1991, the official said.

The dollar’s recent weakening against the yen means Japan re­ceives more dollars for cars sold abroad.

Exports for September alone rose 8.1 percent from a year ear­lier to 550,073 vehicles, the offi­cial said. Exports to the United States, however, fell by 9.97 percent to 180,600 vehicles, he added.

The overall value of vehicle and parts exports in September rose 20.5 percent to dlrs 8.02 billion, he said.

Meanwhile, Kyodo News Ser­vice said Toyota Motor Corp., Japan’s largest auto maker, was expecting its overall production in Japan and abroad this year to decline by about 90,000 vehicles to. 4.78 million vehicles because of expected poor domestic sales.

Occidental starts oil production in SiberiaLOS ANGELES (AP) - Occi­dental Petroleum has begun ex­porting oil from western Siberia in a joint venture with a Russian production association, the Los Angeles-based energy company said Wednesday.

The joint venture company, Vanyoganneft, which is 50 per­cent owned by Occidental, was granted a license by the Russian government to export about 1.1 million barrels of crude oil in the fourth quarter of 1992.

Occidental will market the oil, which was firstexported Monday.

Ray R. Irani, chairman and chief executive officer of Occidental, said the partially developed fields now produce 40,000 barrels per day from 100 wells and gross production will increase to about 65,000 barrels daily by 1994.

Gross recoverable oil was fore­cast to exceed 320million barrels, Irani said in a statement.

Questions remain over US recovery

By Patricia Lamiel

NEW YORK (AP) - One day the government says the economy is robust again because consumer spending has improved. The next day it says consumer spending actually isn’t so strong.

Is the US economy recovering or not?

Taken together, the numbers reported Tuesday and Wednes­day, like the jumble of other government statistics on the economy, are open to just about any spin that economists or poli­ticians wish to put on them.

President Bush’s reeleciion campaign called the report of a 2.7 percent growth rate in the third quarter, which was double the expected pace, “very good news” and proves his economic stewardship hasn’t been so bad after all.

“We have now had six straight quarters of growth in the United States,” Bush said in a Tuesday speech. “And yet the Democrats keep telling us that everything is goingtohell, and they’re wrong.”

Strategists forGov. Bill Clinton countered that the economy is recovering at less than one-third the pace of arty other postwar recovery, and that the third- quarter performance is not likely to be repeated soon.

Indeed, Bush’s presidency can claim average annual growth of only 0.8 percent. Growth has been consistent, but slow.

At the root of the third-quarter economic pickup was an increase in consumer spending of 3.4 percent in the third quarter and 0.7 percent in September. That’s up from a drop of 0.1 percent in the second quarter.

Personal income rose 0.7 per­cent in September.

Those numbers look strong. But private economists say, look more closely. The nation’s savings rate fell to 4.5 percent of dispos­able income from 5.3 percent in the second quarter. That means whatever increase in spending there was came largely out of people’s savings, and not because they’re necessarily making more money.

“That can ’ t go on forever,” said Marcos Jones', an economist at

Deutsche Bank Capital Corp.The rise in personal income was

skewed to the plus side by one­time increases in government spending to aid the victims of Hurricane Andrew, increased farm aid, and a 6.9 percent in­crease in military spending that reversed a five-quarter decline.

Excluding the effects of the hurricane and farm subsidies, personal income rose 0.1 percent, after falling 0.6 percent in August.

Another significant contributor to the third-quarter growth was a surge in business inventories _ more goods piling up. That is potentially bad news.

“U nless dem and revives promptly, there will be some production cutbacks necessary, which will mean either fewer hours worked or fewer people working,” Jones said.

In another down sign, orders to factories for durable goods fell a seasonally adjusted 0.4 percent in September, the government re­ported Wednesday. That was the third consecutive monthly drop.

For the economy to turn deci­sively. positive, consumer^ must feel confident that their incomes will grow or at least not fall, and they have to start buying, most economists agree.

The same day the Bush ad­ministration was hailing the third- quarter increase in economic growth, a widely followed mea­surement of consumer confidence in the economy showed a big drop in October, ¿he fourth straight monthly decline.

“Clearly, if there is a pickup in the economy, it’s not affecting consumers so far,” said Fabian Linden, the B oard’s head of consumer research.

New claims for state unem­ploym ent insurance, -another widely followed measurement of the economy, have fallen for three consecutive weeks. But overall unemployment is sticking at 7.5 percent, and most analysts do not expect it to drop below 7 percent next year.

“The unemployment rate has risen since mid-1991, the point at which people say that the reces­sion actually ended,” Robert Brusca, chief economist at Nikko Securities.

US D eficit h its $290BBy Dave Skidmore

WASHINGTON (AP) - The gap between federal spending and revenues yawned to $290.2 bil­lion in the year ended Sept. 30, setting a new record, the govern­ment said Wednesday.

The deficit surpassed by 7.7 percent the previous record of $269.5 billion, rea’ched in fiscal 1991. It was the 23rd consecutive year the government failed to bal - ance its budget and brought the accumulated national debt to $3,97 trillion.

The administration is predict­ing the deficit for the 1993 fiscal year that began Oct. 1 will soar to yet another record of $341 bil­lion. The Congressional Budget Office forecast is $368 billion.

Private economists warned that the swelling ocean of red ink would severely constrain the ability of the new Congress and president, no matter who wins, to stimulate the sluggish economy with tax cuts or spending in­creases.

“Fiscal policy has been put on hold and no matter who is presi­dent it will not be brought fully to bear,” said econom ist David Berson of the Federal National Mortgage Association.

“The record budget deficit means we’ve been fighting the recession and then the stagnation that followed with one hand tied behind our back,” he said.

Economist David Munro of High Frequency Economics, a New Y ork-based consultant, said the first order of business for the new Congress probably won’t be a fiscal stimulus package.

Rather, it probably will be a measure raising the national debt ceiling from $4.145 trillion, which likely will be reached during the middle of the January-M arch quarter.

Any sizable package of tax cuts or spending increases, if enacted, would run the risk of ballooning the deficit further, spooking fi­nancial markets and running up interest rates, economists said.

“This would lead to what I call the ‘cold water’ effect,” said economist Sung Won Sohn of Norwest Corp. in Minneapolis. “It would throw a cold shower on the economy, slowing growth.”

Sohn said bond traders already have driven interest rates higher even before the election. Despite a 1990 agreement between Con­gress and the administration to control spending, they fear the deficit is spinning out of control,

he said.Texas business executive Ross

Perot, an independent candidate, for president, has made swift re- ductionof thedeficit acenterpiece of his campaign.

Both P residen t B ush and Democratic Bill Clintonhave said they would like to reduce the red ink more gradually, but econo­mists complain that neither has offered credible details on how they would do it.

In an apparent effort to appeal to voters worried about the bud­get gap, Clinton said Wednesday that he’d like.Perot to play some role in his administration because “he really cares about reducing the deficit and controlling costs.”

As high as the 1992 deficit was, it still amounte

d to far less than the Bush administration’s January forecast of $399.7 billion and was below its mid-July prediction of $333.5 billion.

Economists attributed the bet- ter-than-expected performance to a delay in spending on bank and savings institution failures. In the spring, the House voted down a bill that would have authorized the continued operation of the Resolution Trust Corp., which handles failed Savings and Loans.

Stocks overcome uncertaintiesNEW YORK (AP) _ The stock market pushed ahead Wednesday, overcoming uncertainty about contradictory signals on the state of the US economy.

The Commerce Department reported a 0.4 percent drop in new factory orders for durable goods in September, rather than the in­crease analysts had been expect­ing.

O rders fo r h igher-p riced , longer-lasting merchandise now

have declined for three consecu­tive months.

That seemed to run counter to the news on Tuesday of much stronger-than-expected growth in the gross domestic product dur­ing the third quarter.

In addition, analysts said many investors had settled back to wait until after next week’s election to try to get a fresh reading on where the economy is headed.

The Dow Jones average of 30

industrials climbed 15.67 points to 3,251.40. Advancing issues outnumbered declines by about 10 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange, with 1,016 up, 718 down and 618 unchanged.

NYSE volume came to an esti­mated 203.04 million shares as of 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT), against 201.65 million in the'previous session.

The NYSE’s composite index rose 0.90 to 230.91.

Magic AIDS guinean p igBy John Nadel

INGLEW OOD, Calif. (AP) - Magic Johnson says he is a guinea pig for the AIDS virus. And he may be right.

He is also the maestro of Showtime at the Forum. And he is the difference between the Los Angeles Lakers being a title contender or just another good team.

Of that there is no doubt.He is, quite simply, one of the

best players in the history of the NBA and after aone-year retire­ment, he is back to thrill fans with his clutch shooting, un­canny passing and oh-that-smile.

'1 think I feel almost like a person who.’s been kidnapped, or something, and finally re­turned home,” Johnson said. “It feels wonderful. I think only God knows how much I missed it. I ’m just happy I can put on this old No. 32 again.”

While Johnson will be wear­ing old No. 32, a larger version of his jersey _ retired by the Lakers last February _ remains on the Forum wall.

“My game is the same,” he said. “It’s the same game it’s always been _ get the ball to the open man and create.”

That’s something that Johnson, theNBA’scareerleaderinassists, has probably done better than anyone who’s ever played the game.

Johnson and the Lakers begin the 1992-93 season against the Los Angeles Clippers attheSports Arena one day short of a year after Johnson’s shocking retire­ment last Nov. 7.

Somehow, the Lakers won 11 of their first 15 games without Johnson, but they finished 43-39 _ their worst record in 15 years. And they were beaten 3-1 by the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs, their earli­est exit in 11 years.

That was then. This is now.Not only is Johnson back, but

the Lakers have added veteran center James Edwards as a backup toVlade Divac. Rookies Anthony Peeler and Duane Cooper have both showed tremendous poten­tial during the off-season.

There are proven veterans like Divac, Byron Scott, James Wor­thy, Sam Perkins, A.C. Green and Elden Campbell. And Sedale Threatt, the point guard last year in Johnson’s absence, showed what he could do when given the chance.

“This is the deepest team I ’ve

ever played on,” Johnson said. “We’vegotagreatteam. Yoirive got to be deep, you’ve got to be versatile. This team has both.”

Johnson has a lot to do with that. Not only does he figure to make those around him much better players, as he’s done in his previous 12 years with the Lakers, he’ll be adifferent Magic than people are used to seeing.

“I put on 15 pounds because I ’ll be swinging back in d forth between guard and forward,” he said. “I ’ll need it.

“I ’m going to be a mini-ver­sion of Larry (Bird) now. Not playing the way Larry plays, but what the Celtics used to do is run the offense through Larry, and that’s the same thing w e’re go­ing to do here. Just get up the floor, let the guards handle it, and then run it through me. I can make things happen.”

That’s for sure. Ask Divac. Or Scott. Or Worthy. Or any other Laker.

“I ’ll get the ball when I want it, where I need it,” Scott said. “Earvin and I know each other. It was like he was injured last year. He doesn’t allow those lulls. That’s one thing we had to fightagainstlastyear,mentally.”

Korason... _ Continued from page 44the first with three runs on Peter Barlas’ two-run double and Jim Holman’s RBI single. The Draft cut it to one, 3-2, when Sherman Ngiraidong ripped an inside the park homerun in their bottom half of the first and then scored on Harvie Masahara’s sacrifice fly after leading off the fourth with a double.

But the Buds retaliated, scoring

the next three runs with two in the fifth on Paul Baron’s single and one in the seventh on Craig Bidelspach’s single.- The Draft rallied in the bottom of the sev­enth but weren’t able to off-set the Buds lead.

Kirk Vergith, Nick Saimon and Jeff Stein all knocked in two-runs a-piece to lead the Town and Country Sound Waves past the

Toyota Wheels, 11-16.The Waves picked-up all theii

runs in the first three innings and held on with good defensive per­formance in the last four innings allowing just two runs while committing just one error. Donald Flores went the distance giving up just six hits and allowing just three earned runs.

Fischer...continued from page 44to agree that it probably was an error.

Fischer captured the world chess championship by beating the Russian-born Spassky in 1972, but the International Chess Fed­eration stripped him of the title in 1975 after he refused to defend it.

The 49-year-old American in­sists the current rematch is for the world champiohship, but it is not sanctioned by the chess federation.

The match is being played in defiance of UN sanctions against Yugoslovia, now composed of only Serbia and Montenegro, for provoking war in neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Europen Community envoy Lord Owen, co-chairman of a peace conference on Yugoslavia, briefly visited the chess hall dur­ing Wednesday’s game.

Responding to a question about whether he thought the UN sanctions were fair, Owen said he and co-mediator Cyrus Vance were trying to “deal with all par­ties as impartially as we can.”

Asked whether he whether he cared to take on Fischer in a chess game, Owen, an avid chess fan, replied: “I ’m not in his class.”

Washington has warned Fischer that he may face a fine and prison sentence for violating the UN sanctions if he returns to the United States.

The m atch, sponsored by Yugoslav businessman Jezdimir Vasiljevic, started Sept. 2 in the Montenegrin coastal resort of Sveti S tefan and m oved to Belgrade after Fischer had won five games.

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you have an unusually pleasant, unassuming manner, and you are always willing to let others en­joy the spotlight However, no one should make the mistake of thinking you are without convictions or are in any way weak or spineless; on the con­trary, your easy manner is a direct re­sult of your inner strength and confi­dence, and when your back is against the wall you w ill surely prove a formi­dable'adversary in virtually any are­na. Ybu are strong-willed, though pa­tient, and usually get what you want.

Your friends; surprisingly, are few — but this is because you give yourself fu lly only to a select circle of individ­uals who share your ideals, your aspi­rations, your talents, and, usually, your temperament. Still, you are able to get along with almost anyone at any time.

Also bom on this dato are: Chris­topher Columbus, explorer; Grace Slick, singer; Henry Winkler, actor.

To see what is in store for you to­morrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - You may have the feeling, on several occa­sions today, that you are being watched. Trust your intuition.

Fischer’s lead widens to 9-4

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)- Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky decisively on Wednes­day to take a 9-4 lead and clinch at least a tie in their $5 million chess remach.

The win in game 25, which had been postponed by Spassky from Sunday because of illness, leaves Fischer just one game short of winning the match outright.

The S3.35 million top prize goes to the first player to win lOgames. The loser gets the remainder.

Rules slate that should the game reach a 9-9 tie, play ends and the prize money is divided evenly.

But such a result appears un­likely, with Fischer playing strongly against the ailing, 55- year-old Spassky.

The next game is scheduled for Thursday. Draws do not count, and there are no adjournments.

Spassky’s postponement on Sunday because of the flu was his •fourth, the maximum allowed each player under match rules.

Spassky would forfeit the match if he missed any more games.

On Wednesday, Fischer, play­ing white, used the open variation against Spassky’s Sicilian De­fense for the second time in the match. Spassky responded with the so-called Scheveningen setup, which Fischer transposed to the Keres Attack in his 10th move.

By the 25th move, experts said it was apparent that Fischer’s at­tack against the enemy king was faster and more dangerous than Spassky’s

“I think I had the better open­ing,” Fischer said afterward. “He played a line that is considered playable, but I ’m not so sure.

“He allowed me to simplify these knights,” Fischer added, apparently referring to moves 15 and 16. “That was a big advan­tage for me because then he had almost no counterplay.”

M iller Draft beats Equitable Protector

By Frank D. Palacios

THE S.V. Miller Draft, trailing 12-15 going into the bottom of the seventh, rallied for eight runs highlighted by Paul Roberto’s three-run homer to upset the pen­nant champion Equitable Insur­ance D-Protector, 13-12.

Ben Sablan cruised through the first four innings, allowing just one unearned run on three hits with five strikeouts and just one base on balls with his team ahead, 7-1, before tiring, allowing four runs with four base on balls be­

fore being relieved by Gus Aguon with two outs to end the rally.

After allowing the Draft to cut the lead to 7-5, the D-Protectors rebounded to increase their lead to 12-5, scoring the next five runs of the game with three in the sixth on Kirk V erg ith ’s and Gus Aguon’s single aided by two draft’s error and two in the seventh on James Diaz’s RBI triple and Vergith’s RBI single.

Aguon, who faced just four bat­ters in the sixth, was hammered for three consecutive hits, includ­ing Roberto’s three-run homers

that cut the lead to 12-8. The next two batters reached base on walks before Sablan re-entered the- mound walking the next two batters for another Draft run. Mike Muna then hit a sacrifice fly to left for the first out, cutting the lead to 12-9.

Pat Tenorio then flew to center for the second out and the pennant champions were now one out away from winning game one. A double by Dave Santos and three consecutive walks gave the Draft game one with just a game away from winning the championship.

Korason, Enforcersbattle to 9-9 tieTHE TENORIO Korasoris· and the C .O.P. Enforcers tied for third with an identical 5-2 mark battle to 9-9 due to the time limitation in Sunday’s first game in the slow- pitch tournament.

The Enforcers are on the verge of losing their third game after winning their last five games, trailing by two, 9-7, after 6 1/2 innings but survived on John D iaz ’s sacrifice R B I and a Korason error for the tie.

Jess Peterson of the Korasons and Ray Camacho of the Enforc­ers w ent 3-for-3 , and John Maratita of COP was 3-for-4.

Giovanni Mira went 2-for-3 with four RBIs and John Aldan and Benick Ioanis both knocked in two runs to lead the As Maetog T.G.I. Kings past the league- leading NPI Blue Sharks, 14-11, in the “B” division.

The Sharks jumped on. top 1-0 on Ed Saka’s inside-the-park homer in the top of the first, but the Kings responded in the next four runs with two in their bottom half and two in the second for a 4- 1 lead. Unsatisfied with a one run lead after 4 1/2 innings, 7-6, the Kings with a seven-run out­burst in the bottom of the fifth put the game away although the Shades managed to rally in the seventh but was three runs short for their second loss of the sea­son.

The Tropical Buds, who were in last place, did what other teams were not able to do, defeated the previously unbeaten Miller Draft with a 6-4 decision in the third game.

The Buds took the lead they never relinquished in the top of
