Realistic pay is needed in CNMI construction, trades

We have a dual pay scale affecting jobs in the construction industry that requires, in my view,. serious scrutiny and overhaul today. Jobs in this industry are exempted from the minimum wage law, thus workers must accept what their employ-ers pay them from day ?ne. . .

This exemption (law itself) 1s REGRESSIVE m the sense I.hat every year we· dignify, through speeches and declarations, the need. to train ?'lore of our young people for careers m vot:al1onal_ fields such as carpentry, masonry, elc., in view of the obvious fact that not every student is academic or college material.

Yet the very law which exempts jobs in these areas from the minimum wage hourly rate stands as the greatest DETERRENT Lo encouraging our young people from picking up .careers in ~hi~ ar~. Obviously, there's a diametric contrad1cuon m policy versus what our aspirations arc in terms of the future of those of our young people who will not be heading to college to pursue degrees in education, sociology, medicine, etc.

Green-collar crime team ~isguided? Dear Editor: .

I want to be the first in line to convey my congratulations to Mr. Ray Busa and h1.s cmck Lcai_n of Marijuana Marauders for a job well done ... however, I'm afraid to say that despite the heroic actions by his Green Collar Crime team, the community is not less safe from the real t~eat~ ... from those who go out every night in nice expensive cars and legally get ~ozed-o~l of thcrr mmds and try to drive those cars home, or those rip-off con artists who arc steal mg from mnocent p:.:ople as if stealing is legal here in the CNMI. (Or is it?)

I have heard of Buso's Gestapo-like tactics when he bravely collars thos~ def~nscles~ local farmers. He should be smart enough Lo know that his search warrant doesn't give him the nght to manhandle the suspect ... but maybe that helps him feel macho. ..

Hopefully, our prob­lems with the phones have subsided (fingers are crossed here.)

Most of the calls this week dealt with the alien families ques­tion, but a personal call to the editor dealing with the drug task force could also be counted as part of the Gripe­line.

That caller was an­gry that the drug task force (he kept saying "Buso") shouldn't have the right to take land -especially all the land where marijuana plants are located.

"What about the family members who are also property own­ers of the same land?" he said.

The caller also said such a punishment was too harsh for the crime.

"I think they should go back home if their contracts have expired . . whether it's two years, . . but y~~r question is not specific enough ... "One caller said.

***********

Another calerl said that he doesn't think bars should force cus­tomers to pay a higher price for drinks for the hostess than for other patrons.

"Frequently, people go to bars after 10 (p.m.) because they can~ buy alcohol (in stores) after that.

"I also want to know why prostitution is not illegal here - if pornog­raphy isn't. . " ...........

"I think that all aliens should just finish up their contracts and leave," one succinct caller said this week.

"And I hope that in te future that no aliens will be here in Saipan." .............

Thanks for the calls this week .. keep them coming!

A personal opinion Buso's Bust Boys column by

. va:ietyeditor come under wrong

Part of my duties as editor of a local paper that listens to the public is to actually listen to the public. That's what! have been a lot of these past few days, and a lot of them are singing the same tune . . . "Down with Ray Buso and his land-grab­bing drug task force.'

For some reason these callers seem to be focusing on Buso him­self - like he's taking the land per­sonally or something. That isn't the case, folks. he's just doing the job that's he'spaid to do-and quite well, judging from the nastiness of the calls.

First a liule civics lesson: Busa can not seize the land or take land. That's Lhejob of the court He is just petilitioning the court to exercise its authority. Those courts and judges are the ones who are seizing prop­erty-not the task force.

I·also get sob stories about how "innocent" members of the family are being "robbed" by the govern­ment when their land is confiscated. Well, Ijustcan'tagree .... A family­owned plot of land is the responsi­bility of the entire family - or a designated member of that family.

If marijuana is being raised on that land , I just about bey SOMEONE knows the deed is being done besides the erst­while pot farmer.

The family itself csan put a stop to illegal pot farming simply by going to the plot, pulling up the plants and burning them (not in cigarette papers either ... )

However. I do find the drug task force's asking for an entire plot of family land when only a small portion of the land itself was being used for marijuana cultivation a little strong. I un­derstand the reasoning, and will not argue with il.

Apparantly, this is really the first time anyone has adopted a get-tough altitude toward the cultivation of marijuana. Just because the practice was "winked-at" in the past doesn't mean that it will be continued.

While I personally take a neu­tral stand toward the use of mari­juana, the fact still remains that it is against the ljiw - period Lo grow, possess, or sell the wack­wccd. If people don't like the

Continued from page 2

It's frightening when Buso states that he will start confi.sca~ing pr?p­erty as a prosecution tool in drug cases. Can .he honstly JUSllfy takmg away private property or family-owned land JUSt because he stumbled over some marijuana plants being grown by one ~r tw.o unkn_own members of that family? Are we going to deny the land mhcntancc rights of the children of the accused, and put them on the road to food stamps? What justice is being accomplished here? .

Whal is Mr. G-Man doing while hard drugs dealers arc freely passing out their while powder.stuff smuggled in from the ou1:5ictc? Maybe he should put his nose closer to the ground for a better sniff and ~ct some leads, that is if Mr. G-Man is really concerned about the wcll-bcmg of the community. . . . .

Ifl may, I would like to propose that Mr. G-Man shift his en.me-fight­ing expertise Lo the other side of the pasture where the grass 1s greener and where real danger to the community is on the loose.

Finally, not to forget to give credit where credit it's really due .. O~r community is really proud of our local heroes; Captain Joe Castro andh1s alert detectives, for apprehending Galen mack's accused murderer. Congratulations to our detectives for a job well done!

fire: It's the LAW! law, or the penallies involved in violation of the law, then CHANGE the law. Don't con­tinually complain when some­one finally does something about enforcing laws that are already on the books.

While on the subject of the drug task force, the law, etc. just a word to I.he wise. If anyone is even thinking about shooting at aircraft like helicopters or airplanes thaty think sare look­ing for marijuana fields should realize that such an action is a FEDERAL offense, and the FBI doesn't need the pennission of Manibusan and company to come in and do a LOT of investi­gation.

Is it really worth it to spend a lot of years in a FEDERAL prison just to feel a little macho. Plus, if you hit an aircraft the chances are almost 100 percent that you will be hurting innocent Japanese tourists - not narcs.

Also, just making a threating phone call to damage an aircraft can bring on the FBI. Don't be stupid!

Speaking of "intellegent life", loyal readers of this space will recall the traffic ticket I received a few months back and the in­tellegent officer who clapped the handcuffs on me just because I wouldn't sign an ilegal statement on the ticket.

Well, as I was leaving for work at 6 a.m. the other morning I stopped at the end of my road (an uncontrolled street and no stop sign), looked both ways, saw no traffic coming in the direction I was turning and then turned left. Suddenly my favoriteBanney Fife of the Mayberry P.D. got on his bullhorn saying, "I would advise you to use your tum signals the next time you tum like that."

At first I was stunned and that quickly turned to anger. If I broke the law, then stop me and give me a ticket and we can talk about it in court. But don't yell at me through a bull horn because you are too lazy to do your job.

************* Until next week remember that you have rights ...

Poll question comments.:

Just when we felt our poll was about ready to be taken out of the paper again, we received a flod of comments regarding last week's ques­tion on shoukd non-resident workers be al­lowed to keep their familes here after July.

All the replies were "No", and all seemed to echo the same theme which was echoed in this succunt reply written on our return coupon:

"They've had nine months to plan this move. It they've renewed their contracts since after the new laws, then that's their problem."

Other letters repeat the same theme. We were a little surprised that apparantly none of the non­resident workers took the time to call the Gripe­line or send in the coupon with THEIR opinions on the matter .

Not enough CNMI workers to meet law quota ...

Labor chief predicts worker shortage By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter The Commonwealth may run out of local workers to fill

FRIDAY , April 22. 1988 -- MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS -- PAGE 5 More letters to the editor

Doctors ask salons to be lenient Dear Editor: The month of April has been designated as a time to

be aware of child abuse and neglect and to focus on child protection. Earlier this month I was asked to write an essay on this subject by the Department of Youth Services as were other physicians. I feel DYS has done an excellent work in protecting children on Saipan and I was glad to cooperate with them. How­ever in the course of my essay I left out one area involving the welfare of children because I thought it was too political for what they asked me to write.

This area involves the impact of Public Law 5-32 as it now stands on the welfare of a certain group of children now present in the Commonwealth. These children are the dependents of foreign workers who do not have individual incomes of $2000 or above. Unless a small part of this law amounting to one sentence out of 22 pages is amended, these children will be forced to return to the countries from which their parents originated when July 1988 arrives. Chil­dren will have to be separated from parents, and after discussing this with some of these families, I can tell you that there is a great deal of emotional distress resulting from this law.

Young children often do not understand why they are being separated from their parents and emotional

Hon. Senator Juan (Pan) T. Guerrero Acting Chairman: Resources & Development

Committee P.O. Box 1218 Saipan, MP 96950

Dear Senator: In July 1987, Public Law 5-32 was created by

CNMI lawmakers. We are especially concerned about one aspect of this law, which in the near future will cause the break up of many families. This portion of the law states that if an alien worker has an individ­ual income of less than $20,000 per year, then his or her dependents must leave CNMI in July 1988. Since alien workers may renew their contracts for up to four years (1991) and most are in need of cash and probably few or none make $20,000 a year, we can expect to see children separated from parents and husbands from wives as a result of this law. ·

It is most disturbing to think about the children of alien workers affected by PL 5-32. Children too young to understand why they are being taken away from their parents will have to leave CNMI this summer, and such separations leave emotional scars. Infants born in the CNMI after November 1986 are U.S. citizens and would not have to leave theCNMI in July, but their mothers will have to leave if they are alien dependents. In these cases the infants will also have to leave or suffer the adverse psychological and nutri­tional effects of being separated from their mothers. Older children, in addition to leaving friends and a familiar environment, will at the same time have to contend with separation from one or both parents who would remain in the CNMI to work.

Surely the lawmakers who created Public Law 5-32 would not want to cause families and especially chil­dren unnec·essary stress and unhappiness. Alien fami­lies arriving before PL 5-32 was introduced could not possibly forsee that continued employment in the

scars result. Some foreign workers do not know who will be available to look after their children if they are sent out of CNMI. Older children will have to leave friends, familiar environment, and parents all at the same time. In the case of any infants who might be separated from their mcthers, the psycho­logical and nutritional effects could be very serious indeed.

I am not suggesting that the 1aw itself or its ultimate purpose be changed. I do however strongly feel that for those dependents of foreign workers who were in CNMI at the time the law went into effect in July 1987, there should be a provision for them to remain here until these work­ers finally go home. By law this would be a period of up to four years. This sort of amendment would avoid painful disruption of families and separation of children from parents.

Do CNMI lawmakers agree with their govern­ment that this April is the month in which we make a special effort to protect children? Then will these lawmakers please show their concern and compas­sion for all children by bringing about the neces­sary amendment to PL 5-32 as soon as they can.

Sillcerely, ls/George Christian, M.D.

CNMI would lead to disruption of their families. Of course foreign workers may decide not to renew their CNMI contracts which will result in the de­parture of needed person.ncl from companies, busi­nesses, schools, and also from the Commonwealth Health Center.

As health care workers at CHC we are concerned with the physical and emotional well-being of all persons in the CNMI, whether they be local resi­dents or foreigners. Unless amended we feel that PL 5-32 will destroy the well-being ofan important segment of the society we live in.

We therefore request that PL 5-32 be changed so as to allow all dependents of alien workers in the CNMI at the time the law was enacted to remain here until these workers leave which would be a period of up to four years. In this way traumatic disruption of families will be avoided and contracts will be satisfactorily completed.

Former Maui Air passenger is very, very upset Dear Editor:

Watch out for Maui Airlines! Last June [ took an employ­

ment-related round trip f1ight from Saipan to Rota on Maui Air. On the return trip to Saipan, my baggage did not make it on the plane with me. However, Maui sent it on a later flight. I picked it up at the Saipan Airport the next day, only to discover that several items were missing. Those items included a pocket knife, a port­able short wave radio and a small calculator. I promptly filed a

claim for the lost items. For several months Maui per­

sonnel here on Saipan told me that the claim was still in Guam. Finally, I was told that Maui would only pay for the knife because they were not liable for the loss or delay of "electronic items". No mention of this liabil­ity limitation was printed on ei­ther my ticket, baggage tag or ticket envelope. Repeated efforts both by phone and by mail to get Maui to respond to me in writing have failed.

They never even paid for the

pocket knife. So, let this be a warning to

those of you contemplating a trip on Maui Airlines. Be sure to hand carry all of your luggage because you never know what items they might claim they have no liability for. And, if you make a claim for lost luggage, don't expect a prompt reply, or a reply in writing.

As for me, I'll stick to other carriers.

Castro will ·be called before a House Oversight Committee

By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter Rep. Antonio M. Camacho, who wanted Attorney

General Alexandro C. Castro to resign recently , said Tuesday his committee would instead call Castro to testify in an oversight hearing within the next two weeks.

He said in an interview his plan to introduce a resolution to ask Castro to resign was set aside to give the attorney general the opportunity to speak before the Committee on Judiciary and Governmental Operations, which Camacho chairs.

Camacho said the main topic in the proposed public hearing would be the statements Castro made before the Saipan Chamber of Commerce during its meeting April 4. Castro, during that meeting, said that he would not prose­cute elected and appointed officials who were prosecuted

by the United States attorney. He also said the CNMI did not have investigators trained in the specialized area of white collar crime and comJption.

"We have laws on bribery, embezzlement and other forms of comJption but he has never come to us to ask for help so he could hire lheinvestigators.he needs," Camacho said.

He also said that Castro should be supervising even the investigations being conducted here by federal authorities in accordance with the CNMl's self-government.

Castro, in his speechs before the chamber, said: "I do not view the investigation by the United States Attorney's office as one of unnecessary intervention into local prob­lems, butralher as an appropriate utilization of our respec­tive resources."

trash clean-up contest became so intense that she had to intervene as mediator between "overzeal-ous students."

"Almost all schools went to the beach at least twice to clean up," Denney said. "There were almost 800 bags of trash collected."

The participating schools were all in different contests, and Denney said she is planning to announce winners today. (First and second place winners' essays will be in Tuesday's newspaper.)

The contests helped students take care of the environment and learn about it at the same time. ''The purpose of the activity is to stimulate awareness of the envi­ronment, to get kids to identify with the very real problems of trash and garbage, and erosion of their beaches," Denney said in an interview.

She said that all the schools were in a garbage collection con­test. Two schools will win the collection contest; one has filled the most garbage bags and it is tied with another school for the highest percentage of students participating.

A a trash can-painting contest in grades one through four and an anti-littering sign contest for stu­dents in grades five to seven will both have three students as equal top winners.

Denney said that most schools had drawing competitions to pick the best design before painting the cans and signs. ·

She said the trash cans for the beaches will be anchored to ihe so they are not stolen.

''The intent of this project was to identify the school kids with these cans and discourage thiev­ery," Denney said. She said that

Almost 80 bags of garbage, trash, junk and other paraphernalia was coll~cted by this energetic crew of Hopwood Junior High Students. No weight was available for the materia, but 1t took a lot of trucks to haul it off.

Denney said that community interest in protecting the environmentwasa bigi;>art of the success of Adopt-A-Beach. ''There is very much ofa community and a u~1~ spirit about protecting these areas and taking some responsibility for the condiuo.n they are in," Denney said. "There's a real concern about public awareness of envi­ronmental issues and I would say that CRM got a batch of young minds that are more aware than they used to be of an area that CRM is very concerned about, the beaches.

none of the painted cans have been stolen so far. But, Garapan Elementary School put six un­painted trash cans on the beach in addition to two that students painted for the contest. Denney said that all the unpainted cans have disappeared.

Most of the signs have been put up on trees.

She said the Department of Parks and Recreation is securing the cans to the ground with rust­proof chains and poles and has helped prepare contest materials for the schools. "Parks and rec­reation has given me a tremen­dous amount of help," she said. "The project depended on dona­tions form local businesses ex-

Asian and Pacific Islander families in the United States were more likely than all U.S. families in 1980 to have multiple workers, according to census data released by the Commerce Department's Census Bureau.

About 63 percent of Asian and Pacific Islander families had two or more workers compared with 54 percent of all families.

The proportion of Asian families with two or more workers ranged from 71 percent for Filipino to 26 percent

for Laotians and 21 percent for Hmongs (recent immigrant Asian groups primarily from Laos). Among Pacific Is­landers the range was from 72 percent for Tongans (in­habitants of islands southwest of Hawaii) to 51 percent for Samoans.

This is the first census report that provides data on the social and economic characteristics of six Asian groups­Cambodian, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Pakistani, and Thai. Pacific Island data are shown for Polynesian, Mi-

cronesian, and Melanesian (in­habitants of islands Northeast of Australia).

Information on the six largest Asian groups (Asian Indian, Chi­nese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese) and the three largest Pacific Islander groups (Guamanian, Hawaiian, and Samoan) was published in the standard 1980 Census of Popula­tion reports in 1982 and 1983. This report provides additional statistics cross-tabulated by vari­ous characteristics.

The report covers nativity and citizenship, education, labor force, income and poverty, age, household relationship, marltai status, language, year of immi­gration, residence, and occupa­tion. Data are for the nation, selected states, and selected met­ropolitan areas.

Here are other highlights from the 1980 census report:

Econo-Call someone special.

o Six percent of Asians and Pacific Islanders were self em­ployed in 1980, compared with 7 percent for the nation. The self­em ployed proportion among Asian groups ranged from 12 percent for Koreans to less than 2 percent for Hmongs and Lao­tians. The Pacific Islander range was from 7 percent for Tongans to 2 percent for Samoans and Guamanians.

o About 60 percent of Asian and Pacific Islanders were born in foreign countries compared with only 6 percent for the nation. Among Asians, the percent var­ied from 94 percent for Cambodi­ans and Laotians lo 28 percent for Japanese. For Pacific Islanders, the range was from 75 percent for Tongans to 2 percent for Hawai­ians.

o About 60 percent of Asians and Pacific Islanders aged 15 and over were U.S. citizens compared with 97 percent of the U.S. popu­lation. Eighty percent of the Japanese population were citi­zens, the highest proportion among Asians. Cambodians and Laotians, two of the more recent immigrant groups, had the lowest at about 6 percent.

By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter The Trial Court and the local

bar association expressed sup­port Wednesday for a bill to make unauthorized practice of law a misdemeanor.

Chief Judge Robert A: Hefner, testifying before the House Committee on Judiciary and Governmental Operations, said that House Bill 6-46 would help the court and the bar association which at present have to deal with incidents involving unauthorized practice of law only by counrule.

"We have seen people prac­ticing without being members of the bar," he said. "This bill will give muscle to the court"

HB 6-46, introduced by Rep. Antonio M. Camacho, provides that persons who advertise them­selves as practicing or entitled to practice law but who are not members of the bar or who have been suspended or barred from practice are guilty of a misde­meanor.

The bill also provides that per­sons assuming to be lawyers or officers of the court without au­thority or those advertising or holding themselves out as prac­ticing law in any court although not members of the local bar are guilty of contempt of court.

Hefner said lawyers a~itted by the District Court should be exempted from the misdemeanor provision provided they restrict their practice to the District Court

Deputy Attorney General John F. Biehl said. "an exception

should be made for non-CNMI attorneys who associate with lo­cal counsel for the special pur­pose of handling a particular case, as pennitted by CNMI court rules and the coun rules of all jurisdictions."

Biehl said there might be some problems on the bill's contempt provision. "A contempt of coon applies only when a person has failed to comply with an order of the court," he said. "Failure to comply with a statute is not a contempt of court."

Biehl also suggested amend­ments to HB 6-45, whichwasalso discussed during Wednesday's hearing. The bill allows lawyers who were admitted to practice before the High Court of the Trust Territory on or before Jan.9, 1978 to practice before the CNMI coon without taking the local bar ex­aminations.

Biehl proposed that the exemp­tion be extended to include law­yers who have been admitted to practice before the highest court of one or more states, territories or possessions of the United States on or before Jan.9,1978. "Any attorney admit­ted to practice in the CNMI pur­suant to the suggested amend­ment will have been licensed to practice for over ten years," he said."This is an advantage to the people of the Commonwealth because it provides more experi­enced attorneys to choose from."

"The suggested amendment, to the extent it results in the admis­sion of more attorneys, may re­sult in lower legal fees as a conse­quence of greater competition," Biehl added.

CDA will build own $40 million hotel By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter

The Commonwealth Development Authority is plan~ ning to build a $40-million hotel to help local people acquire ownership in the big tourist facilities, CDA Execu­tive Director Rex I. Palacios said Wednesday.

that there are local people capable of investing in hotel projects. He said local entrepreneurs had been borrowing from CDA to start business. "Why not a large hotel?" he asked.

ment expertise. We will hire it out." The other scheme being developed by CDA, with the

help of the Marianas Public Land Corp. is to change the practice of leasing public land to hotel developers. Public land designated for a hotel project would be deeded by MPLC to CDA or leased at $1 a year. The hotel developer who wants to lease the land will be told to discuss with CDA the possibility of ajoint venture, with the land as CDA's investment CD A's holdings could be sold later to local people.

Palacios also said during a loan financing and packaging workshop that CDA and the Marianas Public Land Corp. are discussing the possibility of using public lands as equity for local people in new hotels and similar projects.

He said in an interview following the workshop spon­sored by the Saipan Chamberof Commerce and the Small Business Administration that CD A just completed a study which showed that local ownership of hotels was just one percent. "I feel that that's unacceptable,"Palacios said.

He said there are ways to correct the situation. He added

Palacios said CDA's project on this line is to invest in a hotel costing $40 to $42 million, with majority of the stocks to be held by CDA as trustee.It's major investment in the project would be the public land that would be used for the proposed hotel. CDA would later turn around and sell the stocks to local people. He noted, however, that CDA still would have to determine whether it was possible to acquire over 50 percent of the proposed hotel.

He said a group of private investors from Japan had . already expressed interest in the joint venture. '!We need to have a finn commitment by June," he said.

Asked who would manage the proposed hotel, Palacios said: "I realize there is no local group which has manage-

Palacios said the same scheme could be modified to apply to existing hotels, such as the Hyatt Regency, Saipan Beach Hotel, Diamond Hotel and Surf Hotel, all built on public land. He said that when the land leases to these hotels expire the land would be converted into equity instead of just having the leases renewed ..

Sex crimes against young girls statistics are sobering By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter Perpetrators of sexual offenses against young

girls are usually the people closest to them like boyfriends, fathers and relatives, statistics gath­ered by the Women's Affairs Office show.

A table prepared by the Division of Youth Services of 99 cases of sexual molestation in the Commonwealth from Octl,1985-Dec.l,1987 show that 26 or 26.3 percent were perpetrated by the victims' adult boyfriends, Seventeen cases were allegedly perpetrated by sthe natural fathers of the victims. Stepfathers, including the mother's boyfriend, were allegedly involved in 16 cases. Neighbors and uncles account for six cases each.

The same study shows that the number of incidents involving persons unknown to the vic­tims were only three, or three percent of the cases cited. "These statistics belie the prevalent belief

"I can no longer tolerate these offenses until this office is able to provide protective guidelines for the public as well as having legislation introduced on establishing measures that will compensate these types of crimes against the young girls and women," said Anicia Tomokane, special assistant for women's affairs, in a letter to Sen. Juan T. Guerrero following receipt of the DYS statistics.

She told Guerero "I need your assistance in draft­ing such legislation that would establish protection and for compensation for all female victims in the CNMI."

Chopper pilot says he won't fly narcs ... By Wesley Goodman Staff reporter The chief helicopter pilot for

Blue Pacific Air said anonomous callers are threatening to shoot the helicopter down because the calers think it is used to find mari­juana farms .

The choper pilot said the heli­copter was, in fact, used for that without his prior knowledge, and he would not have flown the trip had he known its intent, he said.

Rufus Crowe, chief pilot for the company, said he was misled by Ray Buso, Drug Enforcement Task Force director, about the intent of a flight Buso chartered on March 23.

"He chartered the helicopter saying that he needed to take eight men over to Tinian for train­ing," Crowe said. "In fact, they were not training, they were bust­ing people." Crowe said he saw officers taking bags filled with just-confiscated marijuana off the helicopter after the 'trip.

"We will never fly anybody from DEA (the Drug Enforce­ment Agency) again. It was not a training mission. It was a Rambo mission." he also said that he was speaking for the company

Crowe's comments now seem to be in conflict with Blue Pacific Air company "official" policy. Officials there say that he was not authorized to speak for the for the company and was speaking as a private citizen.

Kim Anderson, public infor­mation .officer for Blue Pacific Air, said that Buso did charter helicopter services to transport members of the drug task force. She said that the company policy is that drug-related investigations would be more efficiently con­ducted by means other than air transportation. "We have a very good rapport with the Depart-.

Hopwood's vice principal pleads guilty to dope deals

By Wesley Goodman Staff reporter A Hopwood Junior High

School vice principal had lo for­feit his car to the government, pay a $2,000 fine and was put on probation for five years after he plead "guilty" on Tuesday to traf­ficking marijuana and illegal possession of a handgun.

Franscico B. Castro was ar­rested ·March 18 by the Inter­agency Drug Enforcement Task Force for allegedly possessing about 10 pounds of marijuana and a loaded .38-caliber revolver. Court records allege that Castro also used his vehicle to transport marijuana. After the arrest, the vehicle was impounded and sub­ject to criminal forfeiture.

Castro's "guilty" pica was unexpected because it was made during a status conference on his case, and he had already plead "not guilty" to the charges in ar­raignment.

Judge Jose Dela Cruz sen­tenced Castro to a fi vc year prison term for each of the two offenses, to run concurrently, all sus­pended. But, he put Castro on probation for the five-year pe­riod. He also ruled that Castro pay the $2,000 fine and forfeit his car to the government.

Commissioner of Education Henry I. Sablan said that Castro is in the process of submitting his resignation to the public school system. Castro has been away from Hopwood, taking his annual vacation leave since his arrest.

New canoe making a new trip By Wesley Goodman Staff reporter A second traditional Yap canoe

is scheduled Lo come to Saipan after the ''Tipicw," sailing from Yap to Japan, had to bypass the island because strong winds and stonns prevented it from reach­ing the Commonwealth last week. The captain of the Tipicw decided to sail directly from Guam to Japan after the aban­doned Saipan trip.

A canoe captained by Mau Piailug, a traditional Yapese navigator, is set to leave Satawal, an outer island of Yap, for Saipan on April 23. The trip is scheduled to take about 5 days, depending on sailing conditions.

Piailug sailed the Hokulca, a Hawaiian double canoe, from Hawaii to Tahiti in 1976.

Saipan is the final destination for the canoe and crew. There are plans in the Carolinian commu­nity to host a big welcome party for the crew and Lo house the sailors during their stay on Saipan.

The trip will reaffirm cultural tics bet ween the Yapcsc and the people of Saipan. Many Carolini­ans here trace their roots to the islands of Yap and Truk when many people came Lo Saipan in Micronesian sailing canoes after a typhoon destroyed their islands.

Long court battle pays off for 85 who wanted to be new American citizens

By Nick Legaspi Senior reporter Eighty-five Filipinos who re­

nounced their Philippine citizen­ship in 1977 won a nine-year court battle April 11 to become United States citizens.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling for the third time on the civil complaint filed by the former Philippine citizens, stopped the U.S. government from examining the domiciliary qualifications of each complainant."The court affirmed holding that neither its previous decisions nor the legal frame­work under which this case arises authori7.es the government to conduct a de novo and independ­ent investigation of the qualifica­tions of the appellees for interim citizenship," the court said in its opinion filed April 11.

"They have lived their lives in the Marianas for the past 14 years or more," Attorney Michael White, counsel for the complain­ants, said in a statement released. Wednesday. "This is where their homes are. This is where they are going to stay."

The group led by Leon Jose S. de Mesa first filed the sui tin 1979 when the CNMI Immigration and Naturalizat..ion Office refused to issue certificates of identity, a proof that they were interim U.S. citizens eiigibie to become per­manent U.S. citizens upon termi­nation of the trusteeship.

The CNMI enacted a law in 1978 to identify persons entitled to U.S. citizenship based on the three groups identified under the

Covenant The first group in­cludes all Trust Territory citizens (Micronesians) born before the effectivity of the Covenant citi­zenship provision while the sec­ond group includes all Trust Ter­ritory citizens who have lived in the CNMI for at least five years before the Covenant provision took effect.

De Mesa's group belongs to the third group, which includes non­TT citizens who have lived in the Nqrthem Marianas beginning prior to Jan.I, 1974.

The District Court held that de Mesa and his co-complainants were interim U.S. citizens and entitled to certificates sof iden-· tity. The U.S. government moved to intervene, Jost, then appealed to the Ninth Circuit The CNMI government also appealed the District Court decision.

The appellate court upheld the District Court decision in favorof the complainants but granted the U.S. government's motion to in­tervene. With the federal govern­ment joining the CNMI as defen­dant in the case the District Court again ruled in favor of the com­plainants.

Judge Mary M. Schroeder, in an opinion written for the three­member appellate panel, said that "the United States sought discov­ery with respect to each member of the plaintiff class, apparently in order to prove that the plaintiffs did not meet the domiciliary re­quirements of interim citizenship as the United States interpreted those requirements."

Schroeder said that persons

who became U.S. citizens through the provisions of the Covenant could be stripped of that citizenship if there was fraud or misconduct in their applica­tions for citizenship.The U.S. government, however, never coritendedd that any member of de Mesa's group were guilty of fraud or misconduct.

·"The government nevertheless here wishes to examine plaintiffs qualifications for in­terim citizenship,"Schroeder said. "In order to determine whether there might be any basis for such an examination after the district court det.ennined that plaintiffs are entitled to such cer­tificates, we asked for supple­mental briefs."

The U.S. was also asked to cite any authority to support its mo­t.ion to inquire into the citizenship of recipients of interim certifi­cates from the CNMI government 'We are not cited to any ... " Schroeder said."We therefore conclude that there is no basis· for thed government to conduct such a reexamination."

Trial date set for vehicle homicide case

Bird looks We don't know what kind of bird this Is, but is very interesting­looklng. It stars daily at the Nikko Hotel and can be part of the view along the walkway which winds through water­falls, gardens, and of course, birds.

By Wesley Goodman Staff reporter Carlo Abutan, 31, of San Ro­

que, will go on trial April 25, charged with four counts of unin­tentional "homicide by vehicle" in the death of DaniloTrono,37, also of San Roque. Abu tan is also charged with drunk driving, reck­less driving, and driving too fast for existing conditions.

Mark Warns, the new assistant Attorney General in the Com­monwealth, faces his first jury trial here and the proseeutor said in an interview that the alleged incident occurred on Jan. 23 when Trono was riding in the bed of a pick-up truck driven by Abutan. "Mr. Trono was thrown from the bed of the pick-up, suf-

fered severe head injuries and died a few hours later," Warns said. "It is alleged that they were proceeding from a party to a bar. '1

He said the truck ran into a hill as it went off the road at "thousand curves" in Puerto Rico.

He said it was a single-vehicle accident that occurred late at night on ro:id that was still wet from recent rain.

"Mr. Danilo Trono died as a re­sult of head injuries sustained in the accident," Warns said. "Mr. Abutan, the defendant, was later arrested for driving under the influence (of alcohol). All the charges have to do with that single incident"

The prosecutor explained that the jury will only rule on the only

the "homicide by vehicle1' charges. Judge Jose Dela Cruz will preside over the trial and will rule on the driving-related charges.

Those drunk- and reckless­driving charges could mean bad news for Abutan.

"Our homicide by vehicle stat­ute in the Commonwealth pro­vides that a person is guilty if he causes the death of another while violating another provision of the motor vehicle code," Warns said.

Public defender Tony Atalig has been appointed to represent Abutan at the trial. The defense still has. the op lion to change its plea to any of the charges. Abutan previously entered a "not guilty" plea to all charges. Such a change

· in defense strategy could elimi­nate the need for a jury trial and set up a pica-bargain between the Commonwealth and Abutan.

Warns is the new addition to the Attorney General's office. He served as an attorney for the U.S. Navy from 1982 to 1986. He came to the Commonwealth about six weeks ago, from Se­attle, Washington and is origi­nally from Laramie, Wyoming.

is time consuming," slated Mrs. Angelita Buniag, chairperson of the Science department. "Both teachers and students often stay after school to work on their proj­ects. Other teachers and staff get involved, too in preparing the school for the fair. With the ef­fective leadership of our princi­pal1 Mr. Tom Pangelinan, we have always been able Lo accom­plish things without any prob­lem."

The Science Fair is a way of showing parenL~ and other people in the community what the stu­dcnis arc learning in the school. The response from the commu­nity has been very encouraging. Hundreds of students from other schools came 10 view the exhib-

its. Likewise, parents and other interested persons visited the school when the exhibits were opened for public viewing. Most of those who came, especially the parents, had a very positive im­pression of the school.

The Science Fair was coordi­nated by the energetic and active Science teachers, namely: Angelita Buniag, Julie Cunanan, Perpetua Wabol, Lita Guevara, Balthazar Borja, Ray Sakisat, and Mila Calibo.

Teachers and school adminis­trators said they felt this ycar1s crop of projects was one of the best ever and showed CNMI stu­dents arc capable of doing work comparable withtateside stu­dents of the same grade level.

avoid rcprisats. "This law

II encourages employers to ter­minate their alien employees, with or without cause, at the commencement of a suit," he .

1 said in a decision on the I uan Gomez 1-17 versus Western Equipment.

"Termination would nec­essarily result in economic harm to Plaintiffs;'' Laureta said. "But the Court sees it as much more. Defendant's ra-

111,1._,11111111.__.__. tional business decision to ....... UI terminate litigious employ­

ees will, under the new law, frustrate the functions and the purpose of this tribunal."

"Additionally, in many instances this law will effec­tively preclude an aggrieved alien worker from seeking redress in this Court, or the Commonwealth Trial Court, which has a right to do, due to lhc fact that he will be whisked away to the Philippines during the pendcncy of the litigation," the judge said.

"There's a mind-set here with people saying 'how can we function without maids to take care of the kids or without laborers to develop the economy?!!! One of the lawyers said

The attorney said there arc no live-in maids in the U.S. but people are able to work.

(Editor's note:) This is NOT the case, however, there are thousands of "live-in maids" there, but in a different connotation.)

cleaned by agency employees who receive good pay. On the need for alien workers to support the islands'

development, the lawyersaid: "So let's not have economic development until people are treated as decent human beings."

Thebarrister said the U.S. government should also send federal labor officials on permanent assignment in the CNMl to monitor compliance by local employers with federal laws and regulations on working and living condi­tions. He/she noted that at least three federal officials are stationed in Guam just to monitor job safety in that territory.

One of the lawyers also said the U.S. minimum wage, now over $3 an hour, might be applied here. The Covenant exempts the CNMI from the application of the U.S . immigration and minimum wage laws. All other labor laws apply here. '

9Editor's note: This is subject to interpretation by the federal courts, based on WHEN the minimum wage law was passed. It could be that only laws pa~d pre-1978 dealing with labor matters, including insurance, wage, etc. can be enforced under the Covenaat.)

Even the $2.15 CNMI minimum wage does nntapply to maids, farmers, fishermen and construction workers. Thus, maids, farmers and fishermen receive as low as $150 a month while construction workers make as low as $1.35 an hour.

"It's either you can build a hotel yourselforpay workers the minimum wage," the lawyer said.

Aliens who were hired to work here could not just leave when they find what was waiting for them. "They can 'tjust go home and face their creditors who'll ask: 'Where's our money?' and their families: 'You have disgraced us,'" the attorney said.

Another lawyer also cited local attitude toward foreign

workers as a factor in the way these people are treated here. He/she said many residents think and behave as if the CNMiis an island, alone in the world. "But:t's not, it'spart of the world."

She/he said this attitude made it easy to blame the vote­less alien workers for the power outages, the sewer back­ups, the water shortage, problems in school and over­crowding in the hospital.

He/She also favors federal intervention to correct prob­lems in the nonresident labor sector.

"Bring a lot of civil rights action against the employers and the government," an outspoken male said when asked for solutions to the alien workers' predicament" Public Law 5-32 doesn't change due process a bit."

"Who's really guilty," he/she asked." I blame the em­ployers but I think the government is the real guilty party because it allows things to happen by looking the other way."

"I don't think there's a problem now about Jiving con­ditions for alien workers," Acting Labor Chief Felix Fitial said.

He said that since he became acting labor chief in December 1987 he stopped employers from hiring nonresident workers unless their barracks are inspected and certified to be in compliance with space and sanitary standards. He added that a new set of rules and regulations would be implemented soon to help both employers and their nonresident employees.

Fitial also agreed that the U.S. minimum wage could be applied here. He said this would encourage more local people to work in the private sector, thus reducing the need for nonresident workers.

The Philippine government has so far adopted and implemented measures that have accomplished no signifi­

DEQ says water is still buggie

The Division of Environ­mental Quality analyzed samples of drinking water from the Island of Saipan this week. Water from Kagman, San Roque, Tanapag, Navy Hill, Gualo Rai, San Jose, Susupe, Chalan Kanoa, As Per­dido,SanAntonio,and theairport contained excessive coliform bacteria and also contained no chlorine residual.

Residents of these areas should boild their water before using it for drinking, food preparation, or freezing as a precaution against possible bacterial contamination.

Note: The Division ofEnviron­mentaIQuality analyzes drinking water from island public water supplies each week. DEQ will submit a drinking water report to the news media each week. Only those areas where excessive coli­fonn bacteria are found or where there is insufficient chlorine at' the time of sampling to ensure a sanitary water supply will be published. DEQ welcomes all inquiries as to the quality of drinking water. The public is encouraged to phone DEQ at 234-6114 or 234-6984 with any questions concerning the public water supply.

NOTICE OF HEARING AND NOTICE TO CREDITORS

IN THE MATTER OF THE EST A TE OF CARMELO OLOPUMAR,

Deceased.

The Petition of Erminio L. Olopumar seeking to be appointed as Administrator of the Estate of Carmelo Olopumar, deceased, has been set for hearing before the Commonwealth Trial Court, Saipan, Common-wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, on the 28th day of April, 1988, at the hour of 1:30 p.m.

Any person who has any objection to this petition may file his or her objection with the Commonwealth Court at any time before the hearing, or may appear at the time s~t for hearing to present such objection or interest in Lhe above-~~oo~ ~~ .

Notice is hereby given by the undersigned to the creditors of, and all eprsons having claims against the Estate of Carmelo Olopumar or against the deceased, that within sixty (60) days after the publication of this notice, they must file their claims with the Clerk of Court of the Commonwealth Trial Court and any claims not so present~ shall be barred.

He also coorobo­rated Proctor's invitation to the CNMI to share in the money.

The U.S. attorney declined to say how muchoftheoverquarter­million dollars collected from Apex would be split with the CNMI treasury.

Assistant CNMI attorney gen­eral Ray Buso has been handling the Stella negotiations, and he has been off-island for the past few days and unavailable for com­ment.

who wish to enter specific fields in vocational education. Assuming that a student at Marianas or Hopwood decides to

venture into auto-mechanic and in fact goes through the four­year training in high school in his field of specialty. What's ahead for him after going through "Pomp and Circumstance?" A salary that pays way below the minimum wage, right? Definitely, he would find his future in this area or in construc­tion work diabolically discouraging. So he heads elsewhere where the pasture is greener. Out the window goes his four years of education in i.e., carpentry or plumbing, thus a waste for both the government and the individual himself.

I ask my friends at the legislature to join hands with other policy-makers here so to achieve consistency and harmony on this issue and other equally important issues facing the Mari­anas.

Unless this is done now, I'm afraid that we will have built a permanent impression upon investors or nations in the region that this is one place on earth where laws suffer the greatest case of inconsistency as a result of the immaturity of its lawmakers or policymakers for that matter. Let us put our act together. Let us begin talking WITH one another and not TO each other. Taking this approach would definiiely offer greater good for our people over the long haul. Sorry for being preachy!

**************** I can't help but give credit where credit is due. I had the

privilege to con verse with Martin J. Moore (known among co­workers as Mo') about my car. he's suggested a number of things that should go into my auto to protect the engine from getting ruined. He also explained why I should change from this oil to another. In short, I admire someone who knows his products and goes out of his way to ensure that his customers get the best service. More power to you Mo' and how I wish that we have many more shop managers like yourself! Keep up the good work. And thanks for your help. This is one satisfied customer.

Valdez pleads guilty to lesser felony charge From page 1

saying that more housing was needed in the Common­wealth than was actually called for.

Proctor told federal Judge Alfred Laureta that when the time came to describe the series of events which led up to the "misprison of a felony" by Valdez that he would like to do it in either a closed courtroom, or in chambers. The Justice Department prosecutor said that the person he would be talking about has already been indicted on another charge and to bring his name forth in open court dealing with the Valdez case could "further sully his name unnecessarily . .. ·

Outlining the scenario of that alleged June, 1983 inci­dent, Proctor told Laureta that Choy had been retained by MIHA to put together loan packaging for low and moder­ate income home loans in the Koblerville housing area built by Sumitomo Construction Company. He also said that most of the work that was needed for the packaging was in reality being done by Mariana Islands Housing Authority personnel, yet Choy was being paid $300,000 in fees for the same thing.

"Choy was owed a substantial part of that money in June,1983," Proctor told Laureta, and the Fm.HA official was trying to get the rest of his money. The U.S. attorney said "an elected official" of the Commonwealth came to Guam and told Choy that if he (the official) was paid $20,000 that "he would see that Choy got the rest of his money."

Proctor was asked to confirm "an elected official" after

the hearing, and he did so. Valdez' felonious action came when Choy agreed to pay·

the $20,000 and he ordered her to make a $60,000 entry in the books showing that the money had been paid to the brotherof the employee (Choy), tlms hiding the payment.

She committed a felony by not reporting that action to the proper authorities, Proctor said .. he said that the plea agreement worked out between the Justice Department and Valdez' attorney was agreed to because of her coop­eration with the "ongoing investigation and she has prom­ised continued cooperation," he said.

The U.S. attorney said he felt that a "technical case for jury tamping (the original indictment offense), could be presented to the court", and he felt the U.S. could prove their case. However, in the interests of overall justice, those charges_ were dropped in favor of the lower-penalty misprison of a felony.

Judge Laureta went through the fonnal proceedings of finding all about Valdez, her education, etc, and when time came to accept her guilty pJea, he did so - but with a little surprise for th,e defense and prosecution ... no sentence was passed, despite a recommended probated sentence by the Justice Department. Instead, Laureta said he was going to to tum thematteroverto theadultprobationofficeofthe court to look into her background before making a final and formal sentencing on June 17.

Valdez' attorney, William Fitzgerald of Saipan, at­tempted to persuade Laureta to render an immediate judgement based on the plea agreement (which is not

binding on the court). he said the crime Valdez has admit­ted to is "innocuous", amounting to not reporting an illegal act of her boss.

He fllrther argued that his client had cooperated in every way with the Justice Department and she had hoped to have the whole matter out of the way.

Proctor said that Valdez was already on probation for another felony charge. He said that she had embezzled from one of her foJmer employers and had been probated. Laureta could order that probation revoked and also im­pose up to a three-year sentence on her for the misprison charge, as well as up to a $500 fine and a $50 administra­tion charge.

She is also a resident of Guam, and in the process of applying for U.S. citizenship. Valdez could be ordered deported as part of her sentence, Laureta said.

"We hope that he won't do that, because we need her here ... " Proctor said following the hearing.

Fitzgerald declined to comment on the judge's decision not to render an immediate verdict "That's his right," the attorney said:

Annual meeting for disabled is coming soo·n

New fed laws offer help to man,y people The Fourth Annual Conference on the Disabled will host award ceremonies recognizing volunteers, parents, teachers, and €?mployers. Volunteer catego­ries will include one individual and one organizfjtion who has been extensively involved in the promotion of the disabilities movement This award will be given on the first day. The second day will feature an awards presentation for parents and teachers. The third day, one employer will be recognized for their efforts.

New federal laws being implemented to help an esti­mated four million Americans with developmental dis­abilities, including those in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, was the focus of a recent conference in new Orleans, Louisiana Members of the CNMI Develop­mental Disabilities Council, Vicente Aldan (Chairman), Juanita Malone (Vice-Chairperson), and Nick B~jarnin (Acting Director), together with Remi Sablan, Adminis­trator for the Protection and Advocacy Program at Catho­lic Social Services, participated in a "A New Way of Thinking and Doing," the theme of the March 21-23 forum, sponsored by the federal Administration on Devel­opmental Disabilities (ADD)-a branch of the U.S. Depart­ment of Health and Human Services.

ANNOUNCEMENT Chinese Lost 1 Passport WING CHI-YOUNG Birthdate: November 15, 1951

More than 450 participants developed strategies to help ADD administer $100 million appropriated for the Devel­opmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Amendments of 1987. The funds are earmarked for the governments' 1988 fiscal year.

Developmental Disabilities are severe, chronic mental or physical disabilities such as mental retardation, which occur before age 22-resulting in substantial limitation in life activities-e.g., self-care and economic self-suffi­ciency. The forum's keynote speaker, Assistant Secretary for Human Development Services, Sydney Olson, rein­forced the federal government's commitrne.nt to open new doors of opportunity nationwide: "You are the conscience of the nation," she said.

PREPARING FOR THE LAST DAYS

I. Watch Out for Deception Christ warns of deception at ieast four times in Matthew 24 in

response to His disciples' question, "What shall be the sign of Your apl'°aring?" Read Matt. 24:4,5,11,24.

II. Watch Out for Worldlineu In Lulce'1 account of this 1ame Olivet Discoune, he quotes the Lord as

counseling Hia disciples: "And take heed to yourselves lest al any time your hearts be overcharged with 1urfeiting and drunkenneu and care1 of this life, and 10 that day come upon you unawares." (Lie. 21,:34)

Ill Watch Out for Fahe Hope The Lord in Matthew 24:15 tells of the idol that shall stand in the

holy place and says: "THEN let them flee," (verse 16). And in verse 23 ad~s: "1:JiEN if any man shall say unto you, 'Lo, here is Christ or there believe 1t not."' '

IV. Watch Out for carelessness "Watch ye therefore, for ye know not when the Master of the house

cometh, ~t even, or midnig.ht, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning; lest coming suddenly He fmd you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unLO all - WATCH." (Mark 13:35-37) '

THE WONDERS OF COMPUTER ART

Using the computer for art was a first time eiperience . for Rota High School journalism students. They created their art on the Mac 512.E computer using Macpaint and Macdraft software.

Art is just one of the many things a computer can do. Learning how to draw on a computer is easy if you get the hang of it. All it takes is time and practice.

First of all, -what 1s "Computer Art"? Computer art is the creating, designing, and drawing of art vork with a computer. Some computers are programmed vith various colors while others print in just blac.k and white. Either "Way, they never seize 'to amaze you.

·one of the graphic tools used in computer art is the Koala Pad which is made by Koala Technologies in Santa Clara, Uilif ornia. It is an electronic sketch pad. You draw on the sketch pad with a stylus a.nd your drawing immediately appears on the computer screen.

Another unique device made by Koala Technologies is the Gibson Light Pen. This system includes an advanced light pen ,,-ith five software systems. The pen is used to draw on the computer screen as if .it is just an ordinary piece of paper.

One of t.he software programs in. this system is the Pen Musician. Music can be composed by placing the pen directly on the screen.

The Pen Painter, creates fuU color drawings with geometric shapes. Fu.11 color patterns are used to fill and refill drawings.

An interesting product of computer art is a calendar created by Del Ray School in Orinda, California. The name of the calendar is "DeJ Ray School Birthday Calendar".

·The birthdays of each student are printed in the calendar. All the a.rt work on the calendar is designed on the computer. This project is not only interesting but continues to go on. It puJJed in many areas of curriculum such as a.rt, writing, .reading, and English. The studen~ council .raised quite a Jot of money by. se11.ing the caJe.ndar and the project Ht up their school spirit. · No"W you knov some of the wonders of computer art!

LA TE-BREAKING NEWS:

Laureta throws out cases on SaiSteve By DAVID T. HUGHES editor

Because of the late-breaking nature of this story - it came in past our noon deadline, it is an abbreviated version of what will be in Tuesday's paper.

Federal Judge Alfred Laureta decided late Thursday that he would throw out six of the seven charges brought against Saipan Stevedore Company by a group of local merchants who filed suit against the company's new and higher rates.

While Laureta's decision to not hear the cases alleging unfair business practices, anti-trust violations, and other misdeeds, the judge did leave open one case - ~hat which alleges the company used its increased stevedonng rates to subsidize their own trucking company's operstions to cut out competition. · .

This could spell trouble for SaiSteve later, but m the meantime Laureta said that the reason he wouldn;t hear the cases was that it was beyond his jurisdiction and was within the responsibilty of the Federal Maritime Comm is-

siion - the same arguments Sai Steve lawyers used in court. The judge did attempt to sugar-coat the bitter pill given

to the merchnat plaintiffs by saying, "The court is not insensitive to plaintiffs concerns regarding SaiSteve's lease of the port. The port is the heart of the commercial industry of the Commonwealth, and is so - in reality - in control of the Commonwealth Economy. It is fair to char­acterize as 'ill-advised' CPA grant of an exclusive lease while failing to control the rates. The legislature has seen fit to insure their lease as far as utilities are concerned that this doesn't happen again."

Laureta's decision basi­-----, cally puts the merchants back to

The BACK front page Square One, especially in any efforts to invalidate the exclusive franchise granted to the com­pany.

No trial date was announced on the trucking part.

hicles, as well as new cars and those whose registration is due to expire will get the newly arrived metal license plates starting next month, Public Safety Director Edward Manibusan announced yesterday.

He said the Departtnent of Public Safety has received 15,000 pairs of metal license plates or almost twice the number of vehicies currentiy registered with the department's Bureau of Motor Vehicles, now totaling 8,000. The number does not in­clude government vehicles.

The plates were purchased through a $56,000 contract with Joeten Motors.

The BMV ran out of metal plates in April last year and had to use temporary license plates madeofpaper. Thenewplatesare expected to last for five years. The quantity purchased by DPS is

also expected to meet demand for the next five years.

Manibusan said that each ve­hicle would have two identical plates to be installed at the front and rear. He said this would make it easy for police officers to identify vehicles. He said the law, which provides for only one license plate for every ve­hicle, would have to be changed.

Car owners using paper li­

Hospital officials said they could not make an official diagnosis until laboratory reports are completed.

The doctor said the baby is improving and could be released from the hospital after about two weeks. "He's

"I think he will survive. We can never say for sure if there will be some slight or moderate brain impairment," the doctor said.

Christian said the situation raises a question about people living so far away from medicai care and about the expense and safety of emergency helicopter runs.

Northern islands mayor Vicente M. Aldan said emer­gencies in the nortbern islands arc handled by radio contact with the Civil Defense group on Saipan. Aldan said he goes to the defense office to gather information over the radio and decide on a course of a_ction. Medical problems can sometimes be solved by doctors giving advice over the radio. Serious cases, such as the Santos baby, call for evacuation, he said.

Aldan said he wanted an evacuation flight Monday night but both Blue Pacific Air and the Guam military rescue
