50th Anniversary Message

FIFTY years ago, the people of the Northern 'Marianas Islands emerged fonn the horrors ofWorld War II and gained their freedom andliberty, and began our journey to become a self­governing democracy.

Much hashappened to theNorthern Marianassince that first joyous liberation day in 1944.The Commonweaalth today is a proud andvibrant community. As American citizens onthe U.S. soil at the gateway to Asia, the peopleof the CNMI are performing an important role in protecting andadvancing the Nation's interest.

As we commemorate and celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary ofour Liberaton, I join you in honoring the thousands of UnitedStates soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice so that the peopleof the Commonwealth might live in liberty. Their valor andselflesssness will live in our hearts and memories.

We honor also our own citizens who died in the comflict for thesecuring of our islands. And today we celebrate freedom anddemocracy in' their honor.

Protected from the ravenousvultures of the air and sea in thiscasket of memories, we knowlife's message that time flies anddraws us with it. The moment inwhich we speak is already farfrom us.

The capsulecontains historical records andobjects representative of currentculture and the battle for Saipanand was buried in the presence ofthe Navajo code talkers, a groupof American Indians that usedtheir unique language as a valu­able resource to communicatesecretly in a tribal vernacularunknown and incomprehensibleto the radio listening Japaneseinterceptors. While the Navajostransrnitted secret rnili tary tacti­cal information between them­selves for translation into Englishfor use by the American forces, itwas felt appropriate that they beremembered on the MemorialPark grounds as messages wereleft behind for communicationfrom that time to those of a futureage.

"The problem was also exac­erbated by the recession that hitthe industry's major markets Ja­pan, U.S. and Europe," Oberasaid.

He said the other three South­east Asian countries have lowerlabor costs and land rentals thanthe Philippines.

CAGA YAN DE ORO, Philip-,pines (AP) - The Philippine sub- .sidiary of the American pine­apple grower Del Monte will layoff 1,300 workers because of'competition from three other.Southeast Asian nations, a como.pany spokesman said Tuesday.

Isauro Obera, spokesman for'DelMonte Philippines Inc., saidthe layoffs, part of a plan to cutcosts, will affect 14 percent ofthe company's 9,276 Filipinoworkers.

Obera said the initial plan wasto layoff 2,500 workers, but thenumber was reduced after unionleaders pledged to help DelMonte stop absenteeism and im­prove producti vity.

He said the company estimatedit will have 2 million cases ofunsold canned pineapple prod-

one- fifth ofretaiIpurchases, saleswould have climbed 0.3 percent.

The small 0.2 percent increasein the May CPI followed an eventinierO.l percent increase in Apriland left inflation rising so far thisyear at an annual rate of 2.3 per­cent, even better than last year'sexceptionally small 2.7 percentrise.

Energy prices fell I percent, thebiggest one-month decline sinceJanuary 1992, as gasoline pumpprices were down 1.8 percent andnatural gas costs plunged 2 per­cent, the best showing in fouryears.

Food costs accelerated a bit,rising 0.3 percent last month.

Excluding volatile food andenergy costs, the so-called corerate of inflation was up 0.3 per­cent last month. It rose 2.8 per­cent over the past 12 months, a20-year low.

The market share for Ameri­can and other foreign-made semi­conductors was 20.7 percent inthe first quarter. While that wasunchanged from the sales levelreached in the final three monthsof 1993, it was above the 20percent target specified in a 1991agreement between the two coun­tries.

"We are pleased to see thatforeign market share has beensustained above 20 percent fortwo quarters," U.S. Trade Rep­resentative Mickey Kantor said.

Foreign chip makers, prima­rily U-,S. companies, had 8.6 per­cent of the Japanese market in1986, when the two countriessigned the first chip agreement.That share gradually rose until ithit 20.2 percent in the fourthquarter of 1992.. Last year, theforeign market share dippedslightly until the fourth quarter,when it again rose above 20 per­cent.

Kantor said that American chipmanufacturers had made tremen­dous efforts over the past severalyears to build up long-term rela­tionships with Japanese custom­ers.

"While these efforts clearly arepaying off, we believe that thereis still great potential for furtherprogress," Kantor said.

The U.S.-Japan semiconduc­tor agreement has been a majorsource of friction between thetwo countries. Americans hailedthe agreement because it con­tained a specific market-sharetarget while the Japanese de­nounced the deal as managedtrade and said they would neverput numerical targets into futuredeals.

In Tokyo, Roger C. Mathus, arepresentative of the U.S. semi­conductor industry., said, "Weare not at the point where we cansay the market is completelyopen, but there has been tremen­dous progress."

Representatives of the Japaneseand American semiconductor in­dustries met in Tokyo last weekto discuss further market-open­ing steps, including tral1e mis­sions and a campaign to promotecooperation on chip design.

Japan on Tuesday for keepingthe foreign share of the Japanesecomputer chip market above 20percent during the first threemonths of this year.

mists praised the Fed's earlystrikes against inflation as havingthe desired impact on slowingdemand to prolong the recovery,there were some who complainedthat the back-to-back declines inretail sales showed the centralbank may have overdone its credittightening.

Martin Regalia, chief econo­mist at the U.S. Chamber of Com­merce, said he believed the Fedhad increased the chance of a re­cession starting next year.

"Interest rate increases over thefirst half of this year obviouslyhave begun to dampen the rate­sensitive sectors, such as automo­biles and housing," he said.

The retail sales report showeddeclines concentrated in big-ticketdurable goods. Auto sales dropped1.9 percent after an even bigger2.4 percent decline in April. Ex­cluding autos, which represent

Wall Street also liked what itsaw, with both bond and stockprices posting gains. At the close,the Dow Jones industrial averagewas up more than 31 points whilebond prices rose enough to pushyields on the benchmark 30-yearU.S. Treasury bond down to 7.31percent.

Since consumer spending ac­counts for two-thirds ofeconomicactivity, sales decreases are nor­mally cause for alarm. However,economists welcomed this slow­down after a year in which con­sumers had spent heavily on big­ticket items.

'This is just what the doctorordered," said Allen Sinai. chiefeconomist at Lehman Brothers inNew York. "The economy hadbeen growing too fast for its owngood and that carried a big risk offuture inflation. This slowdownwill keep the expansion goinglonger."

Treasury Secretary LloydBentsen, the administration'schief economic spokesman, of­fered a similar view of Tuesday'seconomic reports, saying theycontinued to show an extremelygood underpinning for sustainedgrowth.

Consumer prices up, retail sales declineBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER

lO-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-lHURSDAY-JUNE 16,1994

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S.consumer prices turned in a bet­ter-than-expected performance inMay while retail sales posted asecond consecutive monthly de­cline, the government said Tues­day.

The Clinton administration andprivate analysts hailed the reportsas evidence that inflation remainsin check with the economy slow­ing enough to make sure pricesdon't get out of hand down theroad.

For this reason, analysts pre­dicted that the Federal Reserve,which boosted interest rates fourtimes from February to May, willbe content to remain on the side­lines through most of the sum­mer.

The Labor Department's con­sumer price index edged up amodest 0.2 percent in May aslower energy prices and the big­gest one-month drop in airlineticket prices in 25 years helped tooffset higher fruit and vegetableprices.

Meanwhile, the CommerceDepartment reported that retail

WASHINGTON (AP) - A sci­entist researching illnesses suf­fered byGulfWarveterans foundthat a bug repellant on cock­roaches is 10 times more deadlywhen combined with a drug thatprotects against nerve gas - buthe said the study doesn' t provethat the same thing would hap­pen in people.

Department of Agriculture sci­entist James Moss said Tuesdayhe conducted his study to find ifthe combination of two or morechemicals commonly used by themilitary could possibly be thecause of Gulf War Syndrome.

"This does not prove that thiscombination is the cause of theGulf War Syndrome." he said. "Ithink it is one of several possiblecombinations. I think it needs tobe looked at."

"I've never heard of her," theCzech-born American told re­porters after winning a second­round match at Eastbourne. "Butnow thatyou've told me, I'll scouther."

Taylor, who used to stand inline with her father to get ticketsto see Navratilova play on CentreCourt, said she wouldn't be in­timidated by the No.4 seed.

''I'm going to absolutely loveit," Taylor said. "You can't get abetter draw than that. I think she'sgreat, but I'm not going to be inawe of her. I want to be her equal.I don't think the players fear her,but they admire her."

IfGraf, a five-time Wimbledonchampion, gets past McNeil, shehas a relatively comfortable paththrough the next rounds. Then, inthe semifinals, she could run intoFrench sensation Mary Pierce,who beat her in straight sets in theFrench Open semifinals.

Pierce, however, also has apotentially difficult opponent inthe opening match of herWimbledon debut. She'll facefellow Frenchwoman JulieHalard, ranked No. 19 in theworld.

NBA finals expected to flopBy HOWARD ULMAN

NEW YORK (AP) • For sheerartistry, theNBAFinalshavebeenan undisputed flop. No MichaelJordan soaringthroughtheair, noMagic Johnson making behind­the-backpasses. •

The series has been a bump­and-grind battle filled with latetwists, costly mistakes and notmany points.

The first three games were de­cided in the last three minutes asmuch by the losers' bad plays asthewinners' goodones.With twooutstandingdef\nsive teams, thattrend is likely to continue whenNewYork tries to tie the best-of­7 series 2-2 Wednesday night.

"Gooddefenseisgoingtocause

. turnovers. It's goingtocauseshotswith a hand in your face," Hous­toncoachRudyTomjanovich saidTuesday. "You keep hearing thisis ugly, sloppy.

"Ifyou want a preseasongameor you want a regular-seasongame, you can get thatprettybas­ketball. You can also get it downat the 'Y' with your buddy .: youshootoneon me, I'll shootoneonyou.Thisisdown-in-the-trenchesbasketball and it's going to be awar."

The Rockets won Game 3 93­89 Sunday night and the leadchanged four times in the lastthree minutes.

They won the opener85-78af­ter leading just 80-76 with 1:23left and the Knicks had the.ball.

In the Knicks' 91-83 win inGame2, theyledonly 84-8I with2 1-2 minutes left.

"It reallycomesdowntofourorfive or six possessions at bothends of the court at the end of thegame,"NewYorkcoachPatRileysaid. .

The Knicks' defenseuncharac­teristically broke down on theRockets' last two baskets Sun­day, a dunk by RobertHorry anda 3-pointer by Sam Cassell thatgave themthe lead for good with32 seconds left.

Houston had stumbled in thestretch in Game 2, committingtwoturnoversandmissingall fiveshotsin thelast twominutes. NewYork's DerekHarper, meanwhile,madetwo3-pointersin the last4{

minutes."I think you really, really have

tovalueeachpossession," Harpersaid. "You have to try and get agood shot, a good opportunityevery time and the way you dothat is to run your offense withmore poise.

Unlike the last seven finals ­when Jordan won three titles andIsiah Thomas and Johnson twoeach- there's nogracefulguard totake over the game in the finalmoments.
