TINIAN--The island's Casino Gaming Control Commission, whose duty is to oversee a multi­million dollar industry, has no boss, no funds, and a lot of ex­plaining to do.

.. The commission is in chaos," Sen. David M. Cing (D-Tinian) said, shortly after the three-hour long Senate oversight hearing on the commission adjourned Fri­day.

Cing, who chairs the Senate committee looking into the al­leged irregularities in the commission's operations, recom­mended to Mayor Herman M. Manglona the immediate firing of the "bad apples" in the five­man commission.

Cing did not mention names, but Manglona told the Variety that he will "seriously consider" the recommendations of the Sen­ate Committee on Executive Ap­pointments and Governmental

Cing,(D-Tinian), in his open­ing remarks before a jampacked crowd at the island's courthouse, at the same time said he will rec­ommend the prosecution, '·to the fullestextentofthe law,"ofthose found guilty of misappropriating, misusing and misspending public funds.

THE DEPARTMENT of La­bor and Immigration has ap­proved the collective bargain­ing agreement executed by the management of the Keeraku and Rakuen Restaurants and HERE-Local 5, making it the very first union contract to be enacted on Saipan.

Local 5 leader Elwood Mott said the approval of the con­tract has paved the way for

recognition of workers' rights in theCNMI.

"The· management has been very cooperative since the start of the negotiation," he said.

The CBA was signed by Mott and Soon Sik Choi, Keeraku's general manager, last Aug. 13 and was approved by acting Labor Director Jeffrey Camacho the fol­lowing day. It is effective from Aug.-1, 1997toJuly31, 1999.

The contract provides for a 40-hour _sick leave, health benefits,

and a five-cent increase in mini­mum hourly wage, among oth­ers, and at the same time opens the door for wage renegotia­tion.

The CNMI labor law does not allow changes in an em­ployment contract throughout its duration. Salary prov is ions, for example, cannot be amended without informing the labor department and readvertising the position.

I RP Consulate 'disowning' \Varela press statements

Jesus Varela

By Jojo Dass Variety News Slaff

THE PHJLIPPINE Consulate is tightening upon media protocol fol­lowing ]a<;tweek' s tensions between the Consulate and Gov. Froihm C. Tenorio on the labor isue.

'Ine Philippine Office on Saipan issued media guidelines in effect restricting Labor Attache Jesus Varela m1d ,my 0Ll1er Philippine of­ficials from ai1ing views ,md opin­ions on t11c labor situation in Ll1c Commonwca1Ll1 without prior ap-proval. .

In addition, Consul Julia Heidemmm in a press relea'iC clmi­fie<l there was a mere 8.8 percent increase in the numberoflaborcw,es brou ohtto t11ePhil ippinc Consulate's

0 f . attention in tl1e first qumtcr o · tlus ycm-,L,compm·ed to the s,m1e 1~riod lastycm·.

'Official spokesperson~' In its new guidelines, the Consu­

late stated that any interview wiu1 Varela or Welfare Officer, lawyer Fred Biolena "shall be coursed through the Consul for cle,u-:mce before it is grw1ted."

··Topics for interview should also be cleared. Their (Van~la' s and Biolena's) views may not necessarily reflect official posi­tions."

The media advisory also stressed that "only the Consul and Vice Consul are the official spokespersons of the Philippine Consulate."

"Anybody who alleg~~ly speaks in the name of the Philip­pine Consulate e.xpresses. a. per_~ sonal, repeat, private op1111on, read Heidemann's press release.

The move is believed caused by I m;t week's controversy between

Gov. Froilan Tenorio and the Consu­late which followed the former's im­nouncernentof a ban on the employ­ment of new Filipino hires in the Conunonwealth.

Varela, apparently irked by Tenorio's move, allegedly directed the Consulate's Labor Office to "te­diously screen" employment docu­ments before processing them.

Employers wanting to hire new workers too, were allegedly ordered to seek Tenrnio's approval before document~ c,m be processed.

This prompted Tenorio to an­nounce that he is conferring with the US State Department to have tl1e Consulate closed for "intimidation" ,md "interference."

"The Consulate is trying to make me retract, pressu1ing me to with­draw my threat (of a ban)," a piqued Tenorio told reporters.

'Varela erred' Meanwhile, the Consulate said

Vm-ela med in coming out with an , estimate on the numocroflabo~·c,L'lCS I

involving Filipino workers m the CNMI.

"Inv iew of t11e continuous circula­tion of misinformation and disinfonnation on labor issues ,me! complaint~ in the CNMI, the Philip­pine Consulate has reviewed and corrected the repo11 of the Labor Representative for the first quarter of t11e ye,u-," read Heidemann's press release.

The press release branded V ,uda' s report of a 166 percent increm;e i~1 labor cases as "totally erroneous, 1f not misleading."

It noted that there were 91 labor cases monitored by the Consulate during t11e first three months of last year while the smne period tl1is year indicated 151 rn-;es.

'·A further curso1y showed tl1at t11ere were I 02 labor cases and 34 assistance-to-nationals cases. Mr. (Jesus) Varela 's repo1t did not distin­guish between a sltictly labor (crn,e) ,md a purely assist:mce or consuhu· case.

··Considc1ing that there were only I 02 cases, the percentage incn:,L'iC is ONLY 8.82 percent," the press re­le,L'>C read.

MVB promo campaign producing good results

By: Laila C. Younis Variety News Staff

I&S Corporation's Blue! Blue! Blue! advertising promotion cam­paign for the Northern Mariana Islands seems to be producing good results.

Last Friday, MYB Board mem­bers voted unanimously to renew the Japanese advertising agency's contract for one more year after a 30 minute presentation from I&S officials described the agency's year round campaign fort he NM I.

'"We evaluated and reviewed the accomplishments made by the agency and decided to give them one more year," said MYB Man­aging Director Anicia Tomokane.

l&S Corporation, a leading ad­vertising agency i 11 Japan, was hired by MVB last year to adver­tise and promote the CNMl in Japan to "attract potential visi­tors."

"The theme 'Blue! Blue! Blue!' reflects the beauty of NMI's wa­ters, and so far, the response is that they would love to come here," said Masayuki Hashiguchi, I&S International Division Man-

ager. "We used every possible me­

dia, from T.V. spots to maga­zines. We were even able to get free T. V. programming which ran for 30 minutes," he added.

According to Hashiguchi, the advertising campaign focused on Japan's three major cities: To­kyo, Osaka and Nagoya. The primary audiences are young people, around the early twentys' age category and families.

The agency presented posters, magazines, videos, prnmotional give-a-ways. newsletters, and guidebooks that cmTied the ··Blue! Blue! Bluc!''s theme to the MYB Board members.

"We have to stick to the same theme for a while, for people to get used to. We are working to capture Marianas as a whole be­cause most people in Japan only know Saipan, Rota and Tinian separately," said Nahomi Nishio, I&S Account Executive.

"Our plans for f uturc campaigns is to have local characters that could leave more of an impact in consumer minds," she said.

THE BOA TING Safety Section of the Department of Public Safety has wamed that motels are also included in its drive against estab­lishments ignoring a law on life­guards.

Maj. Raymond B. Camacho, Boating Safety chief, in an inter­view on Thursday, said not only hotels will be inspected, but other establishments like motels which have swimming pools and beach front areas.

Camacho explained the law states that all hotels m,d prope1ty owners in the CNMI using breach front m,d property and swimming pools for commercial recreational purposes shall employ a qualified life6'l!ard who shall be on duty during estab­lished hours for swimmers.

A qualified lifeguard, according to Camacho, means a person who holds a ce1tificate from the Americ,m Red Cross certifying tl1at he or she is qualified to save lives of persons who me in the waterm1d need help.

1l1e Boating Safety had issued ci­tations to nine topSaipan hotels which allegedly found igno1ing the law that requires ce1tified lifegrnu·ds.

Officers from the Boating Safety have staJted intensifying the inspec­tion of hotels to monitor the compli­m,ce of such law after two Japanese children drowned at the Plumeria Reso11 Hotel's swimming pool last July 25.

Afterissuingcitations to the nine

hotels, Camacho vowed that the enforcement will be continued un­til they see that the law is being

complied with. . "We will be doing it now as a

regular routine enforcement,"

Camacho emphasized. Camacho asked the concerned

commercial establishments to ac-

knowledge the law in order to pro­vide safety for customers and pre­vent accident.

. Annual Pager Incentive Program Rather than making monthly or quarterly payments, the annual plan lets you make just one

payment of only $132 -you pay for eleven months of service and get the twelfth month FREE! If you're a regular pager user, this plan is perfect for you.

JUAN S. TENORIO Chairman

"NMHC is an equal employment and fair housing agency"

Borja says Tenorio's remarks over RP office 'inappropriate'

By Jojo Dass Variety News Staff

UEUTENANTGov.andgubemato­rial candidate Jesus Borja urged his opponent, Gov. Froil,m C. Tenorio to meet with Philippine Consul Julia Heidemann to have matters"resolved without having to make threats to close the Consulate."

This.developed as Cong. DinoJ ones said he believes closing the Consulate is '"an appropriate way to satisfy US and RP governments who continue to insist that we are doing nothing."

''I don't think it (closing the consu­late) is appropriate," said Borja in an interview over the weekend.

"The comments that he (Tenorio) made are, I think, inappropriate. Ifhe has problems with them (Consulate), I think he should talk with the Consul.

"Maybe she (Consul Julia Heidemann) has a different view. Per­haps the matter can be resolved with­out having to make threaL-; (of clo­sure)," he said.

Borja also said banning the deploy­ment of new Filipino hiresostensively to curb labor abuses is also ''inappro­priate."

"Because if the intent is to try to show the federal government that you m-e trying to stop the abuses, stopping the importation of Filipino worker.; will not do. What if you b1ing-in Bangladeshis. Will the abuses go away ? I don't think so," he said.

On the contrary, Jones said banning the enuy of new Filipino workers and closing the Consulate sit well with him.

"lbelievethatisanappropriateway to satisfy the US and RP governments. We have done so many things and still ,. RP and US continue to insist that we {, are not doing anything.

"So that (ban) is the most practical approach to satisfy not the CNMI govenrment, but RP and US. Now what for will we need a Philippine Consulate here when there's no more Filipino workers coming in?" he said.

Jones said he is "confused" on why Labor Representative Jesus ss Varela "continues to talk"while Consul Julia Heidemann," who heads the office is noL"

Varela, a day after Tenorio an­nounced he will ban the entry of new Filipino workers to Saipan, directed the Consulate's Labor Office to "te­diously screen" employment docu­ments.

Employers also complained that Varela's office ww; asking them to secure Tenorio's approval of the pa­pers before they can be processed by the Consulate.

1l1esewere apparently taken as acts of "intimidation" and ''interfe1-encc" by Tenorio who immediately ,m­nounced he is confening with the US State Department to have the Consu­late closed.

Looking into the Eye of the Storm

Supertyphoon Winnie, though far to the north of us, was a very good reminder of the destructive force of Mother Nature we, in the Northern Marianas, must contend with in this season. The force of nature that lashes our islands from time to time is awesome, yet for centuries, our people have reckoned with this force and have'never once surrender to its winds, rains or destruction. Sure enough, the day after Winnie's wrath, we picked up the pieces and put them back together knowing well that in the aftermath of any storm, life goes on. Resilience, you might say, is in our blood.

Many of you have read in this very space each Monday the details of another storm we have been battr1ng in the Northern Marianas. The potentially destructive force of this storm is intense and the destruction that would be left in its wake would be devastating indeed. Fortunately, we are fully prepared to brave it.

The destructive forces formed deep . in the interior of our nation's continent, skirted across the Pacific weakening island peoples in its path. Right about the Marshalls, the tropical depression formed-tropical depression Al.

Now, as storms usually do in the Pacific, they must feed in order to organize and strengthen. Tropical depression Al swirled around and poisoned the once calm atmosphere building its capacity for destruction. Al grew and grew.

Al Slayman and his stormtroopers in the federal government are organizing just as a typhoon does. For a long time Al Slayman has tried to

. destroy us with his pompous arguments

FROM THE GOVERNOR'S DESK I MANAHANTE PARA HAMYO/LEADERSHf P

FOR THE PEOPLE

for taking away our local control of immigration, increasing our minimum wage to U.S. federal levels and pushing the garment industry out of the Commonwealth. For a long time, too, his arguments weren't able to pack much of a punch. The storm he brought about was a weakly organized system of a few jaunts to the Northern Marianas every once in a while to make some headlines by threatening us with a takeover or lording the almighty expectations of Uncle Sam over us, the newest Americans. Like a tropical depression, Al's storm in the beginning was a nuisanc·e; not enough to do any damage but enough of a disturbance to make us wish for calmer weather and sunnier days so that we could go about our business.

My administration observed early on that tropical depression Al would not go away: we also accurately predicted it had the potential to strengthen. As a storm approaches it is second nature !or us to reinforce our homes and property to withstand the beating they will take in the st9rm. We prepare ourselves and our families for the impending emergency and after making

sure we have everything necessary to fend off total destruction, we seek the Lord's blessing to help us weather the storm. And in the midst of a typhoon's fury, when all is dark and the storm batters our boarded h0me, we are reassured by finding peace after being through many a storm to see the sun shine again.

Al Slayman knows that he alone does not have enough power or authority to beat us. His arguments alone are weak. So he brought olhers in. He organized this "storm" by feeding a distorted picture to other agencies and departments of the federal government so that now he can claim that his rage is not only limited to the Interior Department.

He says that the latest Interior initiative to dramatically strip away our rights and privileges under the Covenant is not his alone. He needs the United States Departments of Justice, Labor, Commerce and State to back him up because he is wise enough to know that the U.S. Congress would have a hard time deslroying t~e economy of our Commonwealth on only the word of a mid-level bureaucrat in the Interior department. Al Stayman even managed

to send the congressionally established Commission on Immigration Reform-on Interior's tab-to the CNMI in hopes of bolstering his argument to take away our immigration control.

He has enticed human rights advocates and works hand in hand with them to further stories of our reputation as abusers of foreign workers, often ignoring the facts. Al Slayman sends his deputy to appear at a national Filipino human rights forum in Washington, D.C. to testify against us right alongside Wendy Doromol. His Office works closely with a Philippine Labor Attache who seems to like lo see his name in the paper but was reluctant to hand over requested information to local authorities so that we may address his very own allegations and concerns. Al has encouraged the national media to "report" his claims against us and he has managed to get the attention of other federal officials, too. This man will stop at nothing to ruin us. Sadly, he and his Office of Insular Affairs are supposed to help us, not hamper us.

But we accurately predicted this storm and raging Al's ire. I knew that when he ignored our Administrative reforms and the hard work of everyone in this community to make concrete, progressive changes in our labor and immigration system, we were not dealing with someone genuinely concerned about the people of the Northern Marianas. So we sought out others who would have an open mind. To this day, our "reinforcements" in this storm are strong and steady. I cherish the great respect we have been given by many Members of Congress, their staff and num_erous policy-makers around our nation.

Remember, Congress ultimately decides our fate, not Al, although he would lead us to believe otherwise. Let me welcome our latest round of visitors from Washington this week. I challenge you to take a careful look around you and report exactly what you see. I am confident you will see what many before you have also witnessed: tremendous economic success, social progression and charming islands of promise.

No honest person can reasonably say that we have not been able to make some rather dramatic, and thankfully positive changes over the last three years. We've done the work to make the Commonwealth a better place for people who live and work here-and we also know there's a lot more to do. Our efforts have been rewarding not in the sense that we are trying to make Al Slayman happy; in the Executive Branch, we have matured beyond capitulation to federal territorial officials. We are rewarded by improving our community and our government and by finding local solutions to local problems.

So, figuratively speaking, we've boarded our houses, we've gathered our rations; we've tied down loose objects and we've tended our gardens in ad 11ance of the storm. We are prepared. We are securely perched, ready to look the storm in the eye, confident our lives and our islands will remain intact.

Tropical depression Al will never gain typhoon strength, but as in any storm that hits the Marianas, as long as we are prepared, we know that this, too, shall pass and the sun will shine again tomorrow.

Si Yuus Maase.

Judge: AGO not 'discriminating'

By Fe~die de la Torre Variety News Staff

SUPERIOR Cou1t Associate Judge Edwrn·d Manibusm1 111led tl1at the Attorney General's Office hw, not engaged in disc:1iminatoiy filing of_ chmges against husbm1ds.

Manibusan in an order issued llrnrsday junked Chief Public De­fender Dan DeRienzo's motion to dismiss tl1e case against Augustine T. Castro for alleged selective prosecu­tion.

Durino Friday's bench trial, Mrn1ibus~ also found Casu·o guilty of the offense of assault and batte1y for beating his wife last M,u-d1 3. Sentencing was set for Oct. 8 this yem·.

Mm1ibusrn1 said thecou,t finds that DcRienzo failed to show tl1at the oovemment filed tl1echarges a!rainst Castro because he is a~ mal~.

DeRicnzo in his motion asked the court to drop the case against Castro citing that the government enforces criminal statutes in a discriminatory or selective fash­ion auainst the male gender.

Th; chief public d~efender re­quested the court to order AGO to produce all cases that have been forwarded to the governme11t over the past two years for charging review in connection with his motion lo dismiss for selective prosecution.

Assistant J\ttv. Gen. Nicole Fon:lli mov~d to quash defendant's subpoen,1, arguing that the request is unreasonable and oppressive and the documents being sought are irrelevant to the case.

Defendant's motion to dismiss for selective prosecution alleged that the oovemment enforces criminal statu7cs in a disc1iminato1y or selec­tive fa,hion against the male gentler.

DcRicnzo recalled three incit.lents in which no ch,u-ges wen.; filed by the govcmmcnt bee au sc the a I leged ~vronc".docrs w-c all kmale.

incident, because there were no po­lice complaints nor investigation reports forwarded to the AGO.

In his decision, Manibusan said "to obtain discovery on a selec­tive prosecution claim the defen­dant must present specific facts, not mere al]egutions, which es­tablish a colo;able basis for the existence of both discriminatory application of a law and discrimi­natory intent on the part of gov­ernment actions."

"The colorable basis standard requires some evidence which tends to show the essential ele­ments of the claim. Some evi­Jence means the showing must be non-frivolous and baset.l on more than conclusory allegations," Manibusan said.

i\dditionally, he rulet.l, the ex­istence of a colorable basis must be judged in view of all the evi­Jencc and not simply that offered bv the defendant. · Here, Manibusan said, the

defendant's evidence is insuffi­cient to 1)J'ovide a colorable basis for believing that the government has engaged in discriminatory appl icatio;1 of the law and dis­criminatory intent against the male gender. ~ A defend:mt is requin::d to show lxith discriminatory effect am! imcnl in onk:r to make out a dcknsc uf sclec·ti, L' prc,S<.'l'Ut ic m.

GOVERNOR Froi Ian C. Tenorio said he is conferring with his lawyer on ways to sal­vage the agreement recently reached between the Depart­ments of Commerce and Labor and Immigration on the screen­ing of employers' financial statements, as a requirement to hiring nonresident workers.

··1 'm talking to my legal coun­sel and see if we can come up with another one. Let me revisit this (nullified Memorandum of Understanding)," Tenorio said insisting that he should have been a signatory to the DOC­DOU MOU.

··1 discussed this (MOU) with my legal counsel and we both agreed that any MOU between two Departments should be ap­proved by me. I should be a signatory," said Tenorio.

Secretaries Pedro de la Cruz and Thomas 0. Sablan, who re­spectively heads the Departments of Commerce and Labor and Im­migration, on Aug. 8 submitted to Tenorio a letter and a comprehen­sive report asking that the latter reconsider his move to nullify the MOU.

Owing to the new require­ment, the CNMI government has established that there are over 400 licensed companies allegedly operating without

sufficient capital to sustain em­ployment of nonresident work­ers.

Around 50 persons too, have been disallowed by DOC from bringing in guest workers dur­ing the short-lived effectivity of the MOU after it was found out that thay can not be certified as financially capable to em-ploy foreigners. l

The move to screen employ- x ers came as a deterrent to what is perceived as prevalent irregu- ·.·t.'

larities in the employment pro-'.:.,

cess brought about by "loop-holes" in the Nonresident Work-ers Act. '

De la Cruz said the additional ,J requirement took a mere·· IO to 20 minutes per employer" to ;( complete.

··we are trained. We know what to look for. We can imme­diately tel I a bogus financial statement," said de la Cruz.

"Please understand that we re­spect your (Tenorio 's) decision to revoke the MOU for what­ever reasons you have; how­ever, we want you to know that we work within the legal frame­work authorized by law," read the officials' memorandum.

··we feel that we are obli­gated to explain the MOU," it' further stated.

A six-page report, underlin­ing the agreement's ··merits," accompanied the letter.

kneel to anyone but God," he said. 'This siege will not break us."

After a double suicide oombing July 30 that killed 16 people in a mru"ketinJe111salem, Israel closed its oorqers with the West Bank and the Gaza Snip, blocking I 00,000 Pales­tinian workers from reaching their jobs in Israel.

Israel also stopped paying an esti­mated $40 million in Palestinian tax revenues to the Palestinian Author­ity, making it difficult for Arafat to meet his government's payroll.

Arafat said Saturday the sus­pension of payments was "theft of our funds" and demanded ~hat the sanctions be lifted uncondi­tionally.

Arafat's economic adviser Khaled Islam said the Palestin­ians are considering a boycott of Israeli products unless the sanc­tions m-e lifted.

"11ie idea is to gradually close the Palestinian market to Israeli prod­ucts," he told 1-eporters. 'They cannot sell their products in our markets while we do not receive the revenue from taxes levied on tl1em."

Israeli P1ime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuhas said the sanctions will not be lifted until Amfat takes tough action against Islamic militant.,. who Israeli autlirnities believe me respon­sible for tlie July 30 bombing.

After four days of i11tensive shut­tling between Arafat ,md Neuuiyahu this week, U.S. envoy Dennis Ross 1etumed to Washington, saying he was optimistic that secu,ity coopera­tion be1'veen Israel and tl1e Palestin­ians had been restored and that Neumyahu would soon lift tl1e sanc­tions.

But so fm· there hw; been little movement from citlier side.

Nations admit che1nical arms NEW YORK (AP)-Threemonths into a ban on the use or-production of chemical weapons, India and at least a half-dozen nations have admitted they have such mms or can make them, The New York Times reported.

Most of the counnies kept secret their declarations to the organization monitoring the treaty, its director Jose Bustani told the Times in Sunday's editions.

But India, which had long. denied having such arms, openly admitted to having a stockpile of chemical weap­ons.

The Organization for the Prohibi­tion of Chemical Weapons began visiting Indian chemical weapons sites this month, officials in the Hague­based organization told the Times.

Before the recent declarations, the United States and Russia were the only counnies to have publicly con­fessed to having stockpiles of chemi­cal weapons. United Nations moni­tors found a poison gas program in Iraq after the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf .

Analysts praised India for making its declaration public.

"India sets a good example to the region and to countries in the Middle East. Others must now be thinking "1ardandlong aooutwhat declarations they are going to make," said Terence Taylor, assistant director of the Inter­national Institute for Strategic Studies in London.

The U.S. government also sus­pects that Ethiopia, Iran, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, Myanmar. Vietnam,China,andNorth andSouth Koreahave or produce such weapons.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A South K-0rean religious leader has defected to rival North Korea, the communist country's official news agency said Saturday.

Oh Ik-jae, fonner head of the indig­enous religion Chondo-kyo, said he was relocating to the North pem1a­nentlytohelpachievethe unification of the two Koreas, KCNA said.

WhileanincreasingnumberofNorth Koreans have defected to the South in recent years, defections to the North are rare.

The 68-year-old Oh also had served as an advisor to South Korea's main opposition party, the National Con­gress for New Politics.

The defector said Friday after arriv­ing in U1e North Korean capital of Pyongyang that he considered it a "boundless honor to have come to this wonderful society led by the great gen­eral Kim Jong n," the Korean Central News Agency said.

Hoping to dispel any negative fall-

out, U1e National Congress for New Politics said that while Oh had served on the party's advisory ~ouncil for a brief periodaftertl1e party was founded, he had not been an active member for montl1s.

"We will immediately· 1aunch ,m investigation into tl1e matter and expel Oh from the party," it said in a state­ment

Being perceived as sympatl1etic to North Korea is detrimental in a country where many still bitterly remember the 1950-53 Korean War. With no peace treaty signed and tensions high, the border between the two countries re­mains U1e most heavily guarded in U1e world.

Chondo-kyo, established during U1e latter half of the 1800s, was a major force in fighting againstJapan's 1910-45 colonial rule of Korea. But it has diminished in popularity sinceU1enand now has only about 50,000 followers.

Oh served a~ iL~ head for five years starting in 1989.

Pakistan's anti-terror law faces a challenge LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - A human rights lawyer is challenging Pakistan's new anti-te1roiism law, which gives police sweeping pow­ers to search and arrest suspected militants.

The National Assembly adopted the controversial bill Wednesday in response to sectarian and political violence that has left more tl1an 400 people dead this year.

M.D. Tahir,theattomeywhohas filed a petition against the law in Lahore'sHigh Comt,saidSaturday U1e law would allow police to "ex­ploitthesepowersforpersonal gains and to harass tl1e people."

Ptime Minister Nawaz Sharif admits that Pakistan's police force must be refo1med but insists the bill is needed to combat the growing violence.

• The commission's funds, which according to law should be held by the Tinian Munici­pal Treasury, was deposited at the Bank of Guam.

• Commission chair Jose P. Mafnas or his designee-re­portedly commissioner Jose P. San Nicolas-is the sole ex­penditure authority.

• With the commission's chair Jose P. Mafnas on sick leave, no one among the com­missioners know who is in charge.

• The commission may have violated the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of I 989 when it exempted casino in­vestors from paying service and other licensing fees, esti­mated to amount to more than $ I million.

• The last time the commis­sion was audited was in 1993.

The hearing is only the first in a series, and Cing has al­ready set the next hearing on Sept. 15, this time on Saipan.

Aside from Mayor Manglona, the witnesses in­vited are commission chair Mafnas and former finance secretary Antonio R. Cabrera.

Grilling Held at the cramped, stand­

ing-room-only Tinian Court­house, the hearing turned into a "grilling" as members of the Senate committee-Senate Vice President Pau 1 A. Manglona (R-Rota), Majority Leader Thomas P. Villagomez (R-Saipan), Esteven M. King (R-Tinian) and Ricardo S. Atalig (R-Rota)-took turn in questioning the witnesses:

Mayor Manglona, former commission legal counsel David Wiseman, commission vice chair Antonio S. Borja,

commissioners Martin DLG. San Nicolas and Jose P. San Nicolas, deputy executive di­rector Esther H. Barr, former chair Joseph M. Mendiola and former executive director Wil­liam M. Cing.

Public Auditor Leo La Motte was present during the hear­ing. As requested by Cing, the Office of the Public Auditor will be working closely with the Senate probe.

Palmer, who was in the list of invited witnesses, was still off-island Friday.

Disturbed "I now know why_ the com­

mission has problems," Sen­ate Vice President Manglona, the vice chair of the commit­tee, said, noting Palmer's ab­sence, and the commissioners who showed up, but without a legal counsel.

"I'm disturbed that you don't even have a legal coun­sel present," Manglona said.

"There's something wrong here. We want to make sure that the commiss·ion can go forward, and for Tinian -to get its act together.

"If (there's a need) to fire some people, it should be done. The mayor has that re­sponsibility and he should do what is necessary."

Senator Atalig, for his part, asked for all the records of lhe commission's expenditures, in­cluding travel and contracts signed.

As for Palmer, Senator King said the Federal Bureau of Inves­tigation should be asked to track down the executive director who reportedly was given a travel al­lowance before he left Tinian.

Hongkong Entertainment, the company that will invest more than $200 million in a hotel and casino, has earlier ex­pressed concerns over the Sen­ate probe, saying that its sup­pliers and vendors are staring to '\vor.ry" over its dealings with Tinian.

STELLA \X'ILDER

YOUR BIRTHDAY By Stella Wilder

Born todav, vou are one of the most sensiti\;e,"thoughtful and ac­commodating individuals born un­der your sign. You never seem to have anything negative to say about anyone, and you are the first person to adopt a positive outlook in even the bleakest of circum­stances. You have tremendous faith. though you may not be reli­gious in the traditional sense. You believe so strongly in the human spirit that you are able to rise above all manner of situations and soar to one personal triumph after another - or help others do so.

You may find that your greatest strength is your refusal to do things in a traditional way simply for the sake of tradition itself; if need be, you will strike out on your own to discover new methods of achieving age-old goals. A natural leader, you inspire others to do great things.

graph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You

can achieve greater recognition for your efforts today than you had expected. Pay attention to others who have high hopes as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You will perform for an audience that expects nothing but the best - and you surely will be equipped to provide it' Confidence is high to­day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -Your energy may be low, but you can still accomplish something that is quite important to you and to others. You needn't work at a frantic pace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - You must guard against letting anyone take advantage of you, con­sc10usly or unconsciously. Libra individuals require special care.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Someone vou know well, but who has been ·out of the picture for some time, is likely to exert a sud­den, undeniable influence on you todav.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You will be more aware of vour personal streQgth and power today than usual, but you must guard against coming on too strong at all times'

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -A little adventure adds the right amount of spice to a certain rela­tionship today. What you do to­gether can provide greater under­standing.
