Favorable ruling on marital property issuedb y T e n M . F l o r e s

T h e C N M I Suprem e C o u rt issued a precedent-setting op in ­ion F riday w hen they set aside th e com m o n la w p r in c ip le s w h ic h p re v e n te d a m a r r ie d w o m an from ow ning property acquired during a m arriage.

In th eo p in io n p en n ed b y C h ie f Justice Jose dela C ru z and A s ­s o c ia te Ju stices R a m o n G . V illa g o m e z and Jesus C . B orja , the judges ru led that “ m arita l property” is subject to equitable distribution and that both hus­band and w ife have an ow ner­

ship interest in any property ac- . quired during a m arriage unless it is shown that such a property belongs to solely one party .

T h e judges also reversed the order o f the Superior C o u rt in determ ining that the parcels o f land, acquired during couple ’s m arriage, belong solely to the m an.

T h e a p p ea l f i le d b y E lis a Sablan A d a against her fo rm er husband, Joseph C . A d a raised the fundam ental issue regarding the property rights o f m arried wom en in the C om m onw ealth .

R e ly in g e xc lu s ive ly on the

com m on law principles, the Su­p e r io r C o u rt c o n clu d ed th at Sablan d id not have an ow ner­sh ip in te re s t in c e rta in re a l property acquired by the couple d u rin g the d uration o f th e ir m arriage.

In the opinion, the judges said that since C N M I “w ritten la w ” does not touch upon spousal o w n ersh ip rights , C h am o rro custom or the local custom ary law had been consulted.

In their opinion dated N o v . 16, the judges traced the history o f the problem by stating the past and present situations re ­

garding m arriage and divorce am ong the Cham orros.

T h e ju d g e s s ta te d th a t C h am o rro customs show that since th ere w ere no d ivo rce a m o n g th e C h a m o rro s b e ­fore,there w ere no occasions in the society to consider the o w n ­ership and distribution, o f prop­erties acquired b y a couple dur­ing m arriage.

T h e judges ru led that since neither C N M I w ritten law nor custom ary law resolves the issue o f spousal ownership rights in property acquired during m ar­riage, i t is o f necessity to consult

the com m on la w that is “ gener­a lly understood and applied in the U n ite d States.”

T h e la w concerning spousal interest has undergone substan­tia l transform ation in the U .S . over the past century, the judges said.

T h e y cited the abolishing o f the com m on law princip le w hich separates any property acquired by the husband during the course o f the m arriage.

T h e judges said that they agree to the contention made b y A d a and Sablan that the com m on law C o n tin u e d o n p a g e 7

Hotel Nikko employees seek solution to labor problem

M a ria R osario Johico, one o f the disappointed contract w orkers expla ined that ‘ labor d iscrim ination ’ started when the hotel m anagem ent hired fo u r ‘w h ite ’ Am ericans from the U n ited States m ainland.

Johico expla ined that m anagem ent treatment then was not the sam e, the A m ericans getting better benefits’ w ho have the same qualifications.

T h e em ployees then fe lt that a labor case should be file d based on w h at is happening and a fter consulting a law ye r they w ere advised “ that th is is n o t a labor case.”

T h e ir legal counsel then directed them to the ‘proper com m is­sion* w h ich is the E E O C where a com plaint was filed .

She said th at E E O C advised them that H o te l N ik k o m anagem ent w as given a 6 0 day p eriod to respond to the com plaint o r “a t least

O ctober 2 2 , 1990...”so, w e fo llo w ed it up, eventhough E E O C advised us no t to m ake contacts and just w a it fo r sixty days.”

She said that a fter the grace period, the group made contacts w ith E E O C which in form ed them that H o te l N ik k o asked fo r a 3 0 day extension that w as granted un til N ovem ber 2 2 or tw o days from now to answ er to the c o m p la in t

She said that the grpup is now “hanging on and w aiting...do not kn o w i f that w il l be the fin a l extension that w il l be granted o r w h a t”

She explained that cases such as d iscrim ation go to the E E O C before they can file in c o u rt..” w o u ld decided either they w il l send an investigation team or g ive the go s ig n a llo f i le a case in court.”

She said that they do no t fe e l “ im patient” o f the long process w h ich m ight again be extended considering that they are on ly contract- workers on an a lien land.

H e said that the recom m en­dation w ill incorporate the de­c is io n s m ad e b y the com m ittee...”as there are enough findings to m ake a decision.”

H e has m ade h ispoin t w ell and, because others m ay feel s im ilarly , I w ish to encour-

age constructive criticism o f the b ill. I also wish to allay any unnecessary alarm b y exp la in ­ing the purpose o f the b il l and how i t w il l help our local people and government.

S .B . N o . 7 -3 was drafted to help local people w h o do busi­ness w ith foreign corporations o r in d iv id u a ls to have m ore leg ib le and com prehensible in ­form ation w ith w h ich to m ake their economic decisions. I t was also drafted to expedite govern­m ental record-keeping and pro­cessing w ith regard to foreign,

rather than U .S . and local, busi­nesses o p e ra tin g w ith in the C N M I. Com plaints and sugges­tions by such agencies as the P ublic A u d ito r and the D iv is io n o f Revenue and Taxation about having to decipher records kept in the Japanese, K orean, C h i­nese, and other foreign languages led m e to introduce this legisla­tion.

T h e English language, along w ith the C ham orro and Caro­lin ian , are the C N M I ’s o ffic ia l languages. T h is is good and as it should be. Y e t because English

is b y fa r the most universal and international, and also the lan­guage o f com m erce, S .B . 7 -3 mandates that C N M I business record-keeping be in English . O u r local people m ay keep their business records in C ham orro o r C aro lin ian i f they w ant, but fo r tax and auditing purposes

the b ill requires that they keep a copy in E ng lish as w e ll.

I hope I have m ade it clear that the p rim a ry purpose behind S .B . 7 -3 is to help our local people.

U.S. holding talks on Trusteeship terminationB y H o w a r d G r a v e sA P W r i t e rP A G O P A G O , A m e r ic a n

Samoa (A P ) — The U .S . State Department has initiated h igh- level talks with several foreign governments for U .N . Security C o u n c il te rm in a tio n o f the former Trust Territory o f the Pacific Islands.

The talks are being held in “dose coordination” with the Federated States o f Micronesia and the M arshall Islands, As­sistant Interior Secretary Stella Guerra says.

“The United States has a d if­ficult situation w ith its efforts...” she said in a Saturday speech to the Pacific Islands N ew s Asso­ciation conference in this U .S.

President B ush’s pledge to the presidents o f theFederated States and the M arshalls at an October sum m it w ith heads o f govern­m ent from the P ac ific island nations in H onolu lu .

The two P ac ific Island gov­ernments have said they arc un­able to gain d ip lom atic recog­n ition from European countries and G reat B rita in w ithout the Security C o u n c il’s fo rm al ter­m ination o f the trusteeship. It was established in 1947 fo l­lo w in g the end o f W o rld W a r I I .

The talks, the latest last w eek, are at an ambassadorial level, L arry L . M o rg an , an a ide to Guerra, said. H e said he could not say anything further.

How ever, the S oviet U n io n , in the past, has said i t m igh t block any U .S . e ffo rt in the Se­curity C ouncil to fo rm ally ter­minate the trusteeship. U n d er the U .N . charter, only the Security Council can take that action.

In 1986, President Reagan is­sued an executive order saying the U .S . government had te rm i­nated the trust territory status

w ith the Federated States, the M a rs h a lls and the N o rth e rn M a rian a Islands. Those po litical entities and Palau, in the W est­ern P ac ific , fo rm ed the Trust T e rrito ry o f the P acific .

A copy o f the resolution also w ill be sent to the W estern Governors A ssocia tion . T h a t group is expected to take up the controversial chem ical weapons destruction program a t their late Decem ber meeting in Las Vegas, N ev.

A t a late October m eeting w ith heads o f state and governments from 13 Pacific island nations, President Bush promised that the Johnston Is la n d in cin ferato r w ould be used only foe those weapons presently stockpiled there.

T h e incinerator is being used to d e s tro y a b o u t 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 chem ical weapons that had been stockpiled in G erm any.

U nload ing o f the tw o ships.

th a t c a rr ie d the w eapons to Johnston Island, started about 10 days ago. T h e island is in an atoll about 825 m iles west-southwest o f H aw a ii.

T h e Pacific islands’ governors w ere not included in the sum m it Bush held w ith the independent nations on O ct. 27 .

Bush tried to assure the island nations” leaders that the Pacific O cean w ould not becom e a per­m anent dum ping ground fo r the c h e m ic a l w e a p o n s o r o th e r wastes.

T h e Johnston A to ll C hem ical A g e n t D is p o s a l S ys tem (J A C A D S ) also w ill be used to destroy W o rld W a r I I mustard gas shells found earlier this year in the Solom on Islands in the South Pacific.

T h e P ac ific governors said they w anted Johnston restored

as a w ild life sanctuary fo llo w ­ing the stockpiled weapons’ dis­posal w h ich is expected to take several years.

In other council resolutions, the governors asked:

— that the president a llo w them to rev iew and com m ent on an In te rio r D epartm ent policy draft before· he approves i t and sends it to Congress fo r enact­m ent in to law ;

— th a t fe d e ra l a g en c ies . C ongress and th e p re s id e n t consider local, rather than fed­eral, control over 2 0 0 -m ile ex­clusive economic zones around their islands;

— that Congress and the pres­ident be urged to appropriate a $3 m illio n land grant endow ­m ent fo r the N orth ern M arianas C ollege in Saipan.

H e said that ‘harder drugs’ and other narcotics are “begin­n ing to surface w ith increased frequency...un less e ffe c tiv e ly c o m b atte d ...w ill contribute to considerable social and fam ily problem s” and there w ill be an increase in c rim e rate.

through a m em orandum dated N o vem b er 15, created a special oversight com m ittee to conduct an “ in depth investigation” o f the structure and activities o f the M a rian a Islands H ousing A u ­th ority (M IH A ) .

Inos has appointed Sen. Juan Torres to chair the com m ittee w h ich w il l investigate M IH A since the inception o f the C o m ­m onw ealth.

T h e m e m o s a id th a t the com m itte ’s task is to perform the fo llow ing:

* T o determ ine w hether the successive M IH A Boards have fa ith fu lly m et th eir fid u c ia ry respo nsib ilities ; to d e ta il i r ­regularities and violations o f law and to iden tify individual re ­sponsibility.

* D eterm ine to w hat extent recom m endations by previous com m ittees have been carried out by the M IH A and either e f­fe c t in M IH A perform ance.

Inos further provided in his

m em o that the com m ittee has been g iven 9 0 days to complete the task and pre lm in ary findings should be submitted to him within 6 0 days.

Inos, according to a com m u­nication from the Senate, said that there re a lly is a need to “ in­vestigate” the over-a ll financial structure and organization o f M ih a .

H e said that i t is further com ­pounded b y the report o f the D e p a r tm e n t o f the In te rio r...” there has been alleged c ritic is m regard ing financia ls deals o f MfflLA...thecoordinating individuals w h o have executed financ ia l obligations o f M IH A on b e h a lf o f the C N M I govern­m ent.”

A ccord ing to the com m unica­tion , Inos said that Sen. Torres has the necessary qualifications to be in the “ forefront o f this oversight hearing.”

H e said that he expects to get fu ll in form ation on M IH A ’s over a ll structure, financia l activities and w hether o r not the agency “ should be ba iled out or should be to ta lly screened out o f the C N M I ’s arm s.”

drugs m ust be fought in the streets, offices, homes, factories, m alls, schools, churches, p lay­grounds, statehouse and c ity halls and every where through­out the nation.

H e s tressed th a t everybody...the Pacific insular areas must coordinate to “pro­m ote a n ti-d ru g p o lic ies and program s...and lo o k into the

possibility o f creating w ith G u a m a regional jo in t com m and o f the respective anti-drug forces.”

H e added that such a collabo­ration “ w o uld result in m ore cost e ffic ie n t and e ffe c tiv e im p le ­m entation o f strategies and pro­gram s against the use and abuse o f drugs.”

H e said that coordinated law enforcem ent responses have in ­terdicted large m ultio -ju risd ic- tio n a l d ru g enteprises- w h ich could not be dealth w ith by a s in g le ju r is d ic tio n a l la w e n ­forcem ent agency.

M a n g lo n a a lso added that w h ile drugs “are not yet a m ajor problem ...w e have the tim e to place effective obstacles in its w a y before such becomes over­w h elm in g ly d iffic u lt and ru in ­ously costly in hum an life , suf­ferings and m oney.”

M an g lo n a , d iverting his topic on a lcohol, sid that a lcohol use “ have becom e very much a part

o f our cu lture ...beer is one o f the m ost im portant staples at our m a n y fie s ta s a n d o th e r gathering...w here our enormous use m ade the C N M Ia s the lead­ing per capita beer consumer in the nation .”

H e stressed that the continued in ta k e o f a lc o h o l lead s to ‘ in tox ication ,...a person to be­com e v io le n t prone.”

H e fu rther m entioned that a l­cohol abuse is responsible fo r a “ very large num ber o f broken fa m i l ie s . . .c h i ld abuse an d etc..and w e have laws to deal w ith the offenders, but needs se­rious and e ffective programs o f im plem entation ."

H e said that the ‘com m on de­nom inator’ to address a il these drug problem s is to “educate the users and potential users as to the real effects o f drugs and their ineffectiveness in solv ing prob­lems o r m eeting their needs.”

In a N o v . 6 ruling, the judges issued a “ w rit o f mandamus” to M afnas and B o ija confining the appelate d ivis ion to the law fu l exercise o f its jurisdiction.

A w r it o f mandamus is defined as a “ drastic rem edy to be used only in extraordinary situations. I t has been used as “an expeditious and effective means o f confin ing the in fe rio r court to a law fu l exercise o f its prescribed jurisd iction.”

Santos, accord ing to court files , adm itted that he was re­sponsible fo r the w o m an’s death. Santos said that Inoue repeat­ed ly asked h im fo r m arijuana.

Two Mauna Kea Bound Telescopes win 1991 Federal funding

Scientists at the U n ive rs ity o f H a w a i i ’ s In s t itu te f o r A s ­tronom y this w eek learned that the 1991 Federal budgetrecendy approved by Congress includes start up funding fo r tw o m ajo r U .S . telescopes w hich have sites reserved on M a u n a K ea . The budget appropriation fo r the N a tio n a l Science Foun dation includes 4 m illio n do llars to begin w o rk on the N a tio n a l O p t ic a l A s tro n o m yO bservatory’s Northern H e m i­sphere eight m eter telescope and th e a p p ro p r ia t io n fo r th e Smithsonian Institution includes an augmentation o f 2.1 m illio n dollars fo r the Sm ithsonian A s- trophysical O bservatory’s Sub- m illim e te r A rra y T e le s co p e . Both telescopes are now slated fo r construction in the m id - 1 990 ’s.

Institute fo r A stronom y D i ­rector, D onald H a ll, h ighlighted the im portance o f both te le ­scopes. “ T h e N O A O N orth ern 8 -m e te r p ro je c t w i l l f in a l ly provide the U .S . national com ­m unity o f astronomers w ith ob­serving tim e on a large, s tate-of- the-art telescope on M a u n a Kea. Th is w ill a llo w the entire com ­m unity to com peteforobserving tim e crucial to progress on m any o f the fundam ental questions in astronomy today and w i l l m ake H a w a ii the center o f U .S . ob­servational astronomy. M au n a K e a is also a superb site fo r subm illim eter astronom y, the study o f celestial subjects w ith v ery short w ave len g th rad io waves. T h e w o rld ’s firs t tw o large subm illim eter telescopes, the James C le rk M a x w e ll T e le ­scope and the Caltech S u b m il- lim eterO bservatory, are already in operation on M auna K ea . T h e planned Sm ithsonian S u b m illi- m eter A rra y Telescope repre­sents a giant leap in observing capability w h ich w il l a llo w as­tronomers to study objects in tw enty tim es the deta il possible w ith these existing telescopes.”

U nivers ity o f H a w a ii Presi­dent, A lb e rt J. S im one, w e l­comed the announcement. “T h e in ternational in v o lv e m e n t o f countries such as G reat B rita in , Canada, France, the Netherlands and soon both Ita ly and Japan in telescope projects on M a u n a K e a

is one o f the centerpieces o f the U nivers ity o f H a w a ii’s ro le as an in te rn a tio n a l u n iv e rs ity . G iven the international astro­n o m ic a l c o m m u n ity ’s broad acceptance o f M au n a K ea as the best site in the w o rld for as­tronom y, I am delighted to see this balanced by s im ilar recog­nition from the U .S . national astronomical com m unity, whose members w il l n o w have m any m ore opportunities to com e to H a w a ii toobserve.” Sim one also stressed that assured access by a ll U H scientists to observing tim e on e ve ry one o f these forefront facilities w ill provide a m ajor opportunity to further strengthen and enhance the rep­utation o f the U H astronomy program.

H a ll emphasized that the e f­forts o f Senators A k a ka and Inouye had been a crucial factor in both projects’ w inn in g start­up funding in this very d iffic u lt budget year. T h e N orthern 8 - m eter Telescope is expected to cost about eighty m illio n dollars and the Sm ithsonian S u b m illi­m eter A rra y Telescope w ill ap­proach 5 0 m illio n . T y p ic a lly one-third o f a telescope’s budget is spent in B ig Island construc- tion.Separateoperationsbudgets fo r the tw o projects are expected to total w e ll over fiv e m illio n dollars annually and w il l create m ore than 5 0 new jobs on the B ig Island.

H a ll confirm ed that th e N O A O selection o f M au n a K ea fo r the N orthern 8 -m eter is firm and that construction m ay begin as early as spring 1993. H e cau­tioned that the Sm ithsonian A s- tro p h y s ic a l O b s e rv a to ry is nearing com pletion o f a techni­cal comparison o f the properties o f M auna K ea w ith several po ­tential m ain land sites fo r the A rray Telescope, w ith a decision expected by sum m er 1991 . “T h e early test results are confirm ing the superb qualities o f M auna K e a fo r s u b m ill im e te r as­tronom y and its c lear superior­ity over com peting m ain land sites. S o long as the decision is based on scientific and technical grounds, I am absolutely confi­dent that M a u n a K e a w il l w in out, ju s t as i t d id in the N O A O selection.”

principles adopted by the trial court did not coincide w ith the provision.

“The antiquated com m on law principles at issue in this appeal c learly discrim inate on the basis o f sex,” the judges wrote.

The judges ruled that classi­fic a t io n s based on ra c e , color,relig ion, ancestry or sex are inva lid unless it is justified

b y a com pelling state interest and that the trial court erred in applying the rules in the case.

“O u r courts m ust ever be w atchful in considering the ap­p lication o f com m on law prin ­ciples that either on their face or as applied violate such rights,” the document stated.

The judges opined that under m odem domestic relations law , both the husband and w ife are considered to have an interest in m arita l property, m ak in g a ll

contributions to the m arriage as a shared en terprise o r p a rt­nership.

The judges ruled that by v ir­tue o f the prohib ition on dis­crim ination o f sex as provided fo r under A rtic le I o f the C N M I Constitution, they have ruled the abolition o f the com m on law principles and have given both the husband and the w ife an ownership in any property that has been acquired during the m arriage.

gathered fo r a breakfast p lan­n in g m ee tin g o f the T in ia n W o m e n ’ s A s s o c ia tio n . T h e group had inv ited the members o f the T in ian D elegation to jo in them to discuss passage o f House B il l 7 -1 1 8 , “a b ill fo r an act to establish a com m onwealth m arital property act.”

The b il l has been passed by the House bu t has not yet been acted upon b y the Senate. U n ­fortunately, and to the group’s disappointm ent, none o f the senators or representatives at­tended the m eeting. I t is the group’s hope to m eet w ith the delegation m em bers in the near future to hear their comments and share their ideas regarding H B 7 -11 8 .

Nevertheless, the group pro ­ceeded w ith plans to increase public awareness o f the desper­ate need to pass H B 7 -1 1 8 . This is because current C N M I law s discrim inate against wom en.

N o w , only the husband m ay control the use of, o r disposition o f, jo in tly ow ned assets. A n d , i f a m arriage dissolves, a ll jo in t assets w il l go to the husband, regardless o f w h ich party con­tributed to the accum ulation b f these assets. Such un fa ir law s w ill be changed w hen the senate passes H B 7 -1 1 8 .

The group members plan to w rite letters to senators and to other elected governm ent fig ­ures to rem in d them that a ll C N M I voters should have equal justice before the law .

The group w il l act in coordi­nation w ith W o m e n ’s A ffa irs Representatives on T in ian , and encourage co o p eratio n w ith W o m en ’s A ffa irs Representa­tives on R ota and Saipan, and through them , m ake a ll voters aware o f the inequalities o f ex ­isting C N M I laws.

In a d d itio n g ro u p re p re ­sentatives plan to ta lk w ith local high school students to in form them about the current law s and how they w ill affect their futures. U n fo rtu n a te ly , som e couples w ho are considering m arriage, m ay chose to cohabitate, rather than to m arry, because o f these outdated laws.

A spokesperson fo r the group urg ed , “ C it iz e n s , you m ust safeguard your freedom . C a ll o r w rite to your senators and to the governor, and to the newspapers. T ake action! T a lk w ith your friends! M a ke yo u rvo tec o u n t!”
