Serving CNMI for 20 Years v

B u s in e s s : N o t o U S w a g e , im m ig r a t io nBy Gaynor L. Dumat-ol

THE INFLUENTIAL Saipan Chamber of Commerce is oppos­ing implementation of the US minimum wage law in the North­ern Marianas as well as the take­over of immigration by the Fed­eral government.

Dino M. Jones, executive di­rector of the chamber, yesterday released a recently-concluded survey which, he said, would serve as the basis of the organization’s position in con­nection with the July 30 US congressional hearing in Wash­

ington on labor and immigration policies in the CNML

But Jones said the chamber’s position on the minimum wage does not mean that its members are not amenable to increasing the minimum salary of workers in the Northern Marianas.

Chamber President Dennis Yoshimoto said in a telephone interview the organization was willing to raise the salary level of workers in accordance with the cost of living.

Yoshimoto, however, said the chamber has not come up with the amount its members can afford if

the minimum wage had to be in­creased.

The study, conducted among businessmen members of the chamber, shows that almost two- thirds or 22 among 36 employers who responded to the survey are against adopting the $4.35 per hour US minimum wage which is $2.20 higher than the minimum wage in the island.

Only 11 of the. employers in­terviewed said they favored the US minimum wage. Three others were uncertain which wage law to favor.

The chamber position on the

minimum wage and immigration laws, Jones said, would be sub­mitted to Gov. Lorenzo I. Guerrero and will likewise gerve as a guide for the chamber del­egation to the July 30 House Committee on Interior and Insu­lar Affairs hearing in Washington.

Jones hoped the governor would have the same stand on the two crucial issues at the hearing. “The governor usually listens (to the chamber),” Jones said.

Explaining the chamber’s op­position to the US minimum wage law, Jones said that requiring the CNMI to implement the $4.35

hourly pay would force a significant num­

ber of businesses in Saipan to dose shop.

“I don’t know which business will be ready especially now with the downtrend in business activ­ity and the decrease in US finan­cial assistance,” Jones said in an interview.

“Look at these economic problems.Jt is the wrong time to consider these things (increase in wages and Federal control of immigration in CNMI),” added Jones.

THE BOARD of directors of the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. has accepted the resignation of Ramon Guerrero as executive 'director.

Guerrero submitted his resig­nation letter a couple of weeks ago following an oversight hear­ing conducted by the House Committee on Public Utilities, Transportation and Communica­tions into CUC’s operation. He gave the board 60 days within which to find a replacement.

The Board’s acceptance of Guerrero’s resignation came at the heels of a recent survey un­dertaken by CUC to determine public opinion rai whether the CUC -executive director should

carry oh with his plan to push power distribution projects or to adopt a moratorium.

Guerrero, earlier disclosed that about 1,100 respondents to the survey, supported him in con­tinuing what he started, even af­ter tendered his resignation.

“We have accepted Ray’s res­ignation with regret, but we have to act on it because it became apparent that he does not want to carry on. It was he who turned in his resignation and we felt we must comply with his request to bow out,” said Special Assistant for Planning and Budget David M. Sablan, who is also member of the CUC board.

According to Sablan, it ap­peared that Guerrero really did

NEW YORK (AP) - Bill Clinton, hailed as “a new voice for a new America," was nominated for president Wednesday at a Democratic National Conven­tion hoping to break a 12-year Republican stranglehold on the White House.

“It’s time for change," said New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. On the convention floor, del­egates devoured new polling which showed a burst of support for Clinton even before the high points of his convention.

Clinton’s lastremaining rival, Jerry Brown, brought his own campaign to a climax with a 20- minute address to the delegates in which he vowed to fight for the“ideals of the party” but never mentioned Clinton’s name!

Brown, who ran as an advocate of the disposseed, said Demo­crats should “create power for the powerless.’ His speech over, the former California governor strode from the stage, and turned the program over to the partisans of Paul Tsongas before the Clinton roll call began. “George Bush must go,” said Tsongas, another candidate de­feated by Clinton but drawing on a rich reservoir of affection from the Democratic delagates. He condemned the president’s social and economic policies, and those of Ronald Reagan before him.

“They told us it was morning in America. They told us we could have it all,” said Tsongas, in prepared remarks. “They

Sablan, who was arrested Wednesday, immediately posted the $10,000 bail recommended by the Attorney General’s Office.

As this developed, another complaint against Sablan was filed before the police last Wednesday.

Police Chief Antonio Reyes said Victoria Concepcion, assistant manager of the same bank, com­plained that Sablan threatened to harm her last Tuesday but no de­tails were given.

Presiding Judge Pedro Atalig issued the arrest warrant. The judge also ordered the confisca­tion of the former director’s travel documents to prevent him from leaving the island.

The Department of Public Safety filed a complaint against Sablan after investigating Kato’s statement that the latter punched the left side of his body and struck him with an ashtray several times.

c o m p e n s a t i o n o p p o s e dTHE RETIREMENT Fund has said disability or death occurring in a worker’s dwelling place should be considered work-related and the victim eligible for worker’s compensation.

Retirement Fund Administrator Tomas B. Aldan made the state­ment in objecting to the provision of Senate Bill 8-70 which limits worker’s compensation coverage to disability or death while per­forming work.

Aldan asked the Senate Com­mittee on Resources and Devel­opment to make the necessary charges in the bill, authored by Sen. Jesus R. Sablan.

He said numerous court cases had set precedents on issues of work:: ’s compensation.

“We rely on these court cases in

making a determination on who is eligible for compensation. Why reinvent the wheel when there are precedents to follow,” Aldan said in a letter to Sen. Juan S. Torres, chairman of the said committee.

He mentioned eight cases mostly in the US mainland, with to one basic ingredient common to them - claimants sustained in­juries or death while in die vicinity of their employer-provided dwelling place and received fa­vorable ruling from the court.

“Wehaveallreadthat employer provided housing is part of the salary or wage of the employee under federal law. So why should it not be compensable if the injury is caused by reasonable activity within the employer-provided

Spratly Islands new flashpoint in Asia

By John Pomfret

HONG KONG (AP) - A collec­tion of 105 rocky atolls and reefs, many o f which spend half their time under water, have emerged as the latest flashpoint in South­east Asia.

Located between Vietnam and the Philippine’s island of Palawan, the islands are significant not for w hat’s on them but for what may be underneath - oil and gas.

Six countries - China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malay sia, the Philippines and Brunei - claim the chain known as the Spratly Islands. All except Brunei station troops chi them.

China and Vietnam have twice fought battles over the reefs and atolls in the last 18 years.

W estern analysts believe more fighting is likely, in part because the disengagement of the super­powers from the region has left a power vacuum.

If war comes, the victims w on’t be confined to Southeast Asia. Western and Japanese oil compa­nies have been eyeing the chain for decades - since the Vietnam W ar, when M obil Oil found an estimated 600 million barrels of oil in V ietnam ’s Big Bear field a few miles (kilometers) from the disputed area.

“We cannot avoid the apprehen­sion that, after Cambodia, the next flashpoint in Southeast Asia might well involve those small islands strewn all over the South China Sea,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas told ten nations meeting on the issue in Indonesia June 29 - the third such conference in three

years.Foreign ministers of the six-

member Association of Southeast Asian Nations are expected to ad­dress the issue again at their sum­mit next week in Manila.

Just last year, claimants agreed to settle the dispute peacefully. Many believed an agreement on joint exploration and development was imminent. Geopolitical de­velopments have gotten in the way. The Soviet Union, whichhad bases in Vietnam, has collapsed and U.S. forces have left the Philippines. That’s created a power vacuum, which some countries, particularly China, are eager to fill.

In February, China’s legislature passed a law authorizing the People’s Liberation Army to use force to take the whole chain, which the Chinese call Nansha. The chain extends more than 1 , 0 0 0 miles (1,610 kms) south of C hina’s southernmost province, Hainan Is­land.

On May 8 , China signed an oil exploration contract w ith the Denver-based Crestone Energy Corp. to explore for oil and gas in a 9 ,700-square-m ile (25,120- square-kilometer) swath of sea claimed by Beijing and Hanoi. Crestone President Randall C. Thompson said China promised to “protect and defend” Ameri­cans working there.

Vietnam protested the agree­ment. China’s army responded, Vietnam claimed, by planting an­other territorial marker on a reef. C h in e se F o re ig n M in is try spokesman Wu Jianmin refused to confirm the claim but said the islands “have been China’s terri­

tory since ancient times.”Philippines Foreign Secretary

R aul M anglapus w arned that Beijing could become even more assertive.

“China is merely living up to historical expectations that being such a big country it would not fail to flex its muscles,” he told reporters July 14.

China has not been the only country active in the south.

U.S. military analysts say Viet­nam - with an estimated 1 , 0 0 0

troops on 2 1 islands - is continu­ing its military build-up. T hat’s more than triple the number of Chinese troops.

V ietnam has also had some success at mobilizing opposition to China. On June 5, Malaysia and Vietnam agreed to jointly develop a disputed area. While the agreement does not include sections claimed by other nations, analysts view it as H anoi’s first step in fashioning a coalition to counter Chinese dominance.

Vietnam is particularly worried about the Crestone site because it abuts V ietnam ’s Big Bear find, according to A1 Toner, Asian bu­reau chief for Petroleum Intelli­gence W eekly.

Vietnam - desperate for hard currency - wants production to begin in Big Bear by 1994. But if China forces a confrontation, W estern and Japanese firms could delay work, Toner said.

Prompted by the Crestone deal, Vietnam signed its first final pro­duction sharing contract for Big Bear in early July with the French firm, Total, he said. Eight others remain to be signed.

ROM E (AP) - Except for com­plaining about some pain, John Paul n was recovering well from surgery toremoveabenignbowel tumor, said his doctors, who were hoping toget him out of bed soon.

By Thursday, “W e should be abldtoputhim in achair,” Corrado Maimi, the operation’s chief an­esthesiologist, said after checking the pope W ednesday evening about eight hours after the patient came out of surgery.

“Everything is going smooth, very smooth,” said another mem­ber o f the operating team, cardi­o lo g is t A ttilio M aseri, on Wednesday night.

“It looks like a very benign tumor,” Maseri said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.

Doctorssaidpathologistswould need a few more days totestslices of tissue from the tumor, which measured some 6-7 centimeters (2.5-3 inches) long, to make sure there weren’t any islands of ab­normal cells in theremovedmass.

In all, a 15-20 centimeter (6 - 8

inch) piece o f the sigmoid section- a curved stretch of large intestine- was removed, doctors said.

B ut with two biopsies done -one tissue sampling during a pre- surgical exam and another during the operation - the testing for possible cancer cells was “99 percent” finished, Maseri said.

The surgical team, built around the same medical squad that oper­ated cm and cared for the pope in 1981 after he was shot in the ab­domen by a Turkish gunmen in Sl Peter’s Square, said the pope cam e through the operation smoothly.

D uring the three-hour, 50-

minute operation, the pope’s vi­tal signs such as heart functions came through “not like a man of 72, but like a 20-year-old,” the Ita lian new s agency ANSA quoted Manni as saying.

The operation did take longer than expected. Papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro said in an inter­view with Vatican radio that ad­hesions, bands of binding tissue that can be caused by previous surgery, did make the surgeons’ job tougher. Tests before the surgery had also revealed gall stones, so the doctors removed the gall bladder as well as the tumor.

The pope had surgery the day he was supposed to leave for a vacation in the Italian Alps. But after about 1 Odays in the hospital and some more convalescence, the pope was expected to be back to his hectic pace again. “Noth­ing will change,” said chief sur­geon Francesco Crucitti told The AP after the surgery.

“He’s the same John Paul n ,” Navarro sa id ..‘.‘He’s the same Karol Wojtyla.” ButtheVatican postponed a trip to Caltanisselta, Sicily, set for Sept. 7, said local authorities quoted by the Italian news agency ANSA.

The pontiffstill plans tomake his scheduled October trip to the Do- rninicanRepublktomark the500th anniversary of the arrival of Chris­tianity in the Western Hemisphere, Navarro said It will be the 56th foreign trip in his 14-year papacy.

In a telephone interviewwith the AP after examining the patient whosehospitalizahondnewget-weU wishes from diplomats and every­day people alike around the world Manni said the pope complained “as all patients do” of pain after such surgery.

Nuclear weapons makers want better roleBy Deborah Baker

LOS ALAM OS, N.M. (AP) - The people who let the nuclear weap­ons genie out o f the bottle say they’re ready to do more to help contain it.

As the nation’s defense labora­tories scramble to redefine their roles in a post-Cold W ar world, they stress non-proliferation - curbing the spread o f weapons.

The focus of nuclear weapons work “has shifted toward stew­ardship, safety and security, and non-proliferation,” Los Alamos N ational Laboratory D irector Siegfried Hecker told a U.S House Armed Services Committee panel recently.

Some say the threat is nothing new; that w ith the end of the confrontation between two su­perpow ers, w e ’re simply paying m ore attention to it. Nuclear technology is becom ing increas­ingly accessible to Third World

nations, Congressman Les Aspin, A rm ed S erv ices C o m m ittee chairm an Les Aspin, wrote in a January report on nuclear policy.

“In the past, chemical weap­ons were considered the ‘poor m an’s nuke.’ W ithin the next decade, the poor m an’s nuke may be nukes,” he wrote.

W ith the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is concern about the fate of its stockpile of 27,000 nuclear warheads - the “loose nukes,” as arms-control experts call them.

Roy W oodruff, who heads Los A lam os’s non-proliferation pro­gram, said the disintegration of the Soviet Union spells the end of the “m acabre stabilization” that existed when there were two nuclear superpowers and smaller nations aligned with one or the other.

The danger is those smaller nations may now decide they need nuclear weapons for their secu­

rity, he said.“You can ’t put the genie back

in the bottle. The technology is there,” said W oodruff, who spent m uch o f his career designing weapons at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Califor­nia.

He predicts a bigger role for the nation’s nuclear weapons la b o ra to r ie s - L os A lam os, Livermore and Sandia in Albu­querque - in the battle against proliferation.

W oodruff said he wouldn’t be surprised to see his lab ’s budget for non-proliferation and related work - treaty verification and arms control - double or triple over the next several years. I t ’s now about $50 million, a fraction of the la b ’s $ 1 b illio n -p lu s spending.

Livermore, too, could see an increase on that scale, said Rob­ert A ndrew s, special projects program leader at the California

lab. L iverm ore spends $20 m il­lion to $30 m illion of its $1.1 billion budget on non-prolifera­tion, he said.

At Sandia, m ore than $100 million o f the $ 1 . 2 billion budget is devoted to areas generally re­lated to arms control technology, intelligence assessm ent and non­p ro l i f e ra t io n , sa id R o g er Hagengruber, vice president for defense programs.

Critics say all the talk about a bigger role for the labs in non­proliferation is just that.

“We see the rhetoric, but we do not see that rhetoric reflected in budget and policy changes. ... I t’s justnotjbeing im plemented,” said John Stroud, co-director of the Project for Economic Con­version o f Los Alamos National Laborato'ry, a watchdog group in Santa Fe.

Stroud also maintains there’s an inherent conflict between pro­m oting non-proliferation and the

labs’ support o f continued nucleai testing.

“The (non-proliferation) effort it going to be downed to failure if we do not cut the hypocritical contin­ued insistence on testing,” he said

Hecker and Livermore’s direc­tor, John Nuckolls, say underground testing is essential to ensure weap­ons are reliable and to maintain “nuclear competence.”

But the labs also have provided technology to detect nuclear explo-

. sions in the atmosphere, space and underground.

They train inspectors for the In­ternational Atomic Energy Agency and develop ways to control and keep track of the plutonium formed when nuclear reactors produce electricity - plutonium that could be secretly diverted to weapons- m aung.

There’s logic in having the labs become bigger players in non-pro­liferation work: No one knows better how to make a bomb.

TH E G O VERNM ENT, following a couple of road- blocking incidents last May, has moved to facili­tate implementation of land exchanges under which owners of property used for public projects such as roads are given public land of equal value.

The key word is equal, and equality should not be limited to value. Since land exchange is not a single transaction involving an individual or a family, policy must be set and followed to ensure that land exchange transactions are done fairly, and that no individual or family receives less or more than others.

A prominent member of the Carolinian commu­nity has informed this newspaper that the Olopai- Fitial family is due to receive title to a parcel of land in the hills in Gualo Rai, in exchange for land in San Jose which has been identified for a road project. He said the proposed land exchange is being negotiated between the Office of the Gover­nor and the Olopai-Fitial family.

This transaction, when finalized and imple­mented, is expected to set a precedent for other land exchanges, now and in the future. The for­m ula to be used in determining the size of property that .the Olopai-Fitial family should receive in exchange for its San Jose property, perhaps in­cluding the location of the land being offered by the government, would henceforth be the basis for other CNM I citizens in determining whether the property offered to them in exchange for private lands identified for public projects is a fair

■ and just replacement for their original land.There are speculations, hopefully unfounded,

that friendship and political ties could influence the land exchange program.

W e hope not, and we urge that this not be allowed to taint the objective of the Northern Marianas land rights laws, as well as the citizens’ respect for the government.

By Jack Anderson and Michael Binstein

WASHINGTON - If Gen. Dou­glas Mac Arthur were alive today, it’s likely he would be repre­sented by a lecture agent who would have advised him against making the “old soldiers never die, theyjustfade away” farewell address to Congress.

In the modem era of $1 million book advances and six-figure speaking fees, MacArthur might have been in danger of what agents call “over-exposing”

Earlier this year, retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf turned down a $90,000offer for a speech in San Francisco, partly because his agent, Marvin Josephson, is trying to keep, the demand for Schwarzkopf high by not over­exposing him. Besides, Schwarzkopf was going to be in Lbs Angeles the previous week and he didn’t want to speak in California twice in the span of tme week.

By contract, Mac Arthur started his new job at Remington Rand in 1952 with a salary of $45,000 a year. MacArthur apparently didn’t live long enough to enjoy the spoils of victory in the media age.

On this July 4 weekend, two stars of the Persian Gulf War have parlayed their fame on the battlefield into lucrative careers on the lecture circuitfcommand- ing nearly as much money per speech as they once did - per year - commanding troops and brief­ing reporters. In this celebrity- driven culture, even generals have

groupies?Stormin’ Norman wowed au­

diences during the tensest hours of Desert Storm with a brilliant brew of bravado and witty ban­ter. His counterpart back home, Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly, who be­came another household face during Desert Storm briefings, is telling friends that he just topped the$l million-mark in earning on the speakers’ circuit. He com­mands $30,000 an appearance.

Kelly’s TV sidekick, vice Ad­miral John M. McConnell, has not been so prosperous. McConnell was the Navy’s soft- spoken briefer, outshined by the Army’s gregarious and grandfa­ther Kelly. After the war, McConnel was named director of the National Security Agency. Since he’s still in the military, he’s not allowed to charge money for speeches.

McConnell addressed the graduating class of the Defense Intelligence College near Wash­ington recently (free of charge) and began by telling the audience about Kelly’s good fortune, then he quipped, “You get what you pay for.”

Just over a year ago, Kelly was fighting back tears in the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes as he bid farewell to his friends. “Coming to the end of the trail is a bummer,” Kelly said, “but we all have to go through it.”

Close friends, including Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed in roasting the once-obscure Kelly. “We weren’t sure that he would be able to fit us in,” cracked

Powell. “And, Mr. Secretary (dick Cheney), I want you to know we got the govemmentrate - it’s only going to cost us $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 .”

Schwarzkopf, who was ubiq­uitous during the war, is now close to invisible by the design of his agent. He has a special arrangement banning the media from attending any of his speeches, presumably to sustain interest for his book, which net­ted him a-reported $5 million advance.

Sources told us that Schwarzkopf earlier this year at a conference with other high-profile speakers, de­manded that the press leave during his $80,000 speech - even if they were present to cover other proceedings of the day.

Josephson told our associate Ed Henry that he never dis­cusses money when it comes to his clients, but said that Schwarzkopf does limit his number of speeches. “His speeches have nothing to do with his book though,” said Josephson. He claimed that Schwarzkopf speeches only touch on the Gulf lightly.

But at one conference in Italy earlier this year, Schwarzkopf reportedly lashed oiit at both American politicians and the Pentagon for their roles in the war against Iraq. He charged that politicians interfered with Desert Storm,- and accused the Pentagon of being a “nest of waverers. .. the worst kind of people you could meet.”

P r o s t i t u t i o n r e p o r t d e n o u n c e d

Dear Editor:We are responding to our good

Director, Mr. Joaquin S. Torres’ article of July 13,1992 Marianas Variety News and Views re­garding the petition against his department of bad practices and problems attheDivisionofLabor. Surprisingly and shockingly our good director blatantly and de­fensively came out publicly even before we put out our grievances in the media. At any rate, our good director contends that it is the recruiters and employers who are causing the delays in his de­partment.

First of all, let me remind our good director that it’s his depart­ment that is doing the reviewing and processing and the decision as to whose application has to go out or transmitted to immigration first and not the recruiters or employers as he blatantly put it.

Secondly, most if not all, of the recruiters, employers, or indi­viduals who have submitted ap­plications have fully complied with all and any deficiencies and or requirements but still in Labor.

Now, application which have been submitted complete with all the necessary requirements with no deficiencies have been pend­ing with Labor for months and sometimes even after one year.

Contrary to the director’s con­tention and statements, we totally disagree with our good director’s time frame of processing appli­cations in his department as fol­lows: 1) The director stated that the average processing time for government workers is two days; 2) Household workers (houseworkers/domestic work­ers) time limit is four days; 3) Hotel and garment factory workers, five days; and 4) Con­struction workers is 10 days.

the director further states that “If you meet all the requirements, the applications will be processed in 10 days at the most. I believe the director is trying to say that regular processing for any job classifications if all the necessary documentations and requirements are met, is 10 days at the most.

We really wish this could be true but we all know for a fact that is not what is happening in the past and even now at Labor. We only hope our good director and his staff is fully prepared and in all honesty ready to answer to this contention and statement.

For the director’s information, we have concrete proof and evi­dence of documentation and records and also witnesses to prove that the director is totally mistaken. It is very sad if it is really true that our good director doesn ’t really know what is going on within his own department. If this is really the case, the least our good director could do is conduct. an in-house investigation as to these very serious allegations in­

stead of blatantly and defensively rebutting the matter.

I would like to quote our good director’s comments and remarks at the end of the first paragraph when it said, “But Director Joaquin S. Torres seems not a bit Perturbed.” What this really means if I am not mistaken and I stand to be corrected, is simply that our good director is not only mocking and making fun about this issue at hand as a minor thing and it will just disappear once he puthiscontradictory article in the media. The time for joke and fun is histoiy, our good director, and definitely it is time to really look into this very serious matter and seriously do something about it, instead of brushing it off as you also mentioned in your fun re­marks.

The director mentioned that most of those on the list of sig­natories are mostly the (Mies who have had trouble with the department’s regulations. He went on to say that most are un­dercapitalized employers, and most have had labor cases at present and in the past, while some have outstanding wage claims. Mr. director, for your information and for the record, you’re totally wrong because some of those signatories are oily concerned citizens and never had any problem with Labor, but also have become frustrated, sick and tired of hearing labor problems mentioned on a daily basis. Some are newly established small time businesses of undercapitalized as you mockingly put i t

You also mentioned that no big time employers such as hotels and department stores, etc. Let us assure you Mr. director, that big time businesses and companies will shortly join us because these legal and proper approach will not only benefit the small time businesses or the undercapital­ized, but will especially benefit those big time businesses which have hired many nonresident workers.

Maybe you have not really re­viewed carefully all the signato­ries as you said you did but at any rate most, if not, all of the re­cruiters and employers or under- capitalized never had any prob­lems with labor. If a few do, then either their dispute is settled or the case disposed of.

However, if some still have pending matter with Labor, what then is your department is doing and plan to do to expedite and speed up all those pending labor Case in your department. For the record, this is another area where labor cases dragged on and on for years and all of the nonresident workers and employers con­cerned wait forever more at the mercy of your department.

Mr. Director, I would like to continued on page 26

Dear Editor,I read the article published by

Pacific Daily News on July 10 branding the 3,125 Filipina karaoke bar workers or waitresses as prostitutes'as reported by Marshall Santos based on the findings of Richard Ceyzyk.

That was really very damaging to the moral, image and reputa­tion of Filipino women and ap­parently very defamatory to the Republic of the Philippines.

Due to this pernicious accusa­tion Filipino women will be sub­ject to ridicule, humiliation and insult from people of different nations in. Due to this reporting our relatives and friends in the Philippines will very much worry about our situation here. That will cause them anguish and sleepless nights. Not all of us are prostitutes and, if there are some, it may be a forced prostitution which CNMI and Philippine gov- emmentofficials must investigate.

I am hereby appealing to all Filipino women in the CNMI who are affected by this issue to form a group and unite to prepare a class action suit to defend our nation’s women against this re­porting byMarshall Santos and Richard Ceyzyk.

A concerned Filipina,MariaWaitress

Dear Editor,I just received a copy of the

June 12,1992, Marianas Variety News. I read with interest an article regarding the referral pro­gram that CNMI sponsors for its people.

I read the article with interest. One paragraph regarding reasons for the increase in patients sent to San Diego rather than Honolulu concerns me. This paragraph in­dicated that the increase in patients sent to San Diego might be due to lack of communication between Honolulu hospitals and CHC, lack of efforts of these hospitals to accommodate the needs of CNMI patients, and their apparent inac-

Dear Editor,I wonder how Marshall Santos

and Richard Ceyzyk arrived atsuch a conclusion, a slanderous accusation to the Filipino people conveying a big insult to the whole Philippine nation.

I also wonder if Marshall Santos and Richard Ceyzyk have been to any karaoke bars and seen for themselves the real meaning and taste of what they mean prosti­tutes. That poor conclusion and bad reporting damaged the image and reputation of Filipino people and defamed the Philippine gov­ernment as well.

There may be quite a few pros­titutes from any country but theimumber do not collectively represent the female populace. And to print an exact figure as what has been published in Pa­cific Daily News last July 10 is very heart-breaking.

That moral damage caused by actions from. polluted-minded Marshall Santos and Richard Ceyzyk require public apology to the Filipino people in the CNMI.

Lastly, Filipinos come here to find decent jobs and if you find them doing jobs not related to their employment contracts, those are against their will.

From concerned Filipino,Lut B. Baltazar

tion on requests from CHC that doctors from Honolulu visit CNMI..

As the director of Straub Clinic’s Pacific Island Medical Services, I had instituted a program some time ago which provides regular communication regarding CNMI patients hospitalized and seen as outpatients at Straub Clinic. We provide weekly communication to the director of utilization for CNMI Hospital. This provides updates on toe status of these pa­tients. We provide regular writ­ten summaries regarding patients who have completed their therapy at Straub Clinic. If summaries are not received by the physicians in

Dear Editor,First of all, thank you for pub­

lishing this letter.I am responding to an article

published by Pacific Daily News on July 10, 1992 branding and accusing that 3,125 Filipinas working in karaoke bars in the CNMI are prostitutes.

The idea of Mr.'Marshall Santos and Mr. Richard Ceyzyk to in­form the general public about AIDS awareness was understood but the destructive result of this prostitution issue would evidently affect the tourism industry in the CNMI. To that effect, the CNMI government must do something to protect the growing economy of this commonwealth. That would surely scare away incom­ing tourists.

Writing and reporting should be done in a very professional way which must be fair to all concerned. The worst impact, however, are the big moral dam­age to the Filipino people and the dirtiest insult to the Republic of the Philippines as a nation.

This unjust, unfair and very damaging reporting provokes a class action suit. The Filipino women deserve an apology from these men although it may not be enough to cover the moral dam­age caused by this issue.

Respectfully,Melba A. Vilaga

Saipan, we have a rapid commu­nication system set up to be sure copies are made and sent to the appropriate physicians, either by mail or by fax.

We maintain continuous com­munication with the medical re­ferral staff of the CNMI liaison office in Honolulu.

We always make special efforts to accommodate the needs of the patients from CNMI. We provide a cot in the room of the patient for family members in the non-ICU areas. I personally intervene in many cases to try to move ap­pointments up so that patient’s can get in and out of Honolulu as

H i t - a n d - r u n v i c t i m

i n s e r i o u s c o n d i t i o nPOLICE officers are looking

for the driver of a white sedan who fled after sideswiping a m an on Beach Road, Chalan Piao at dawn yesterday.

T h e h it-a n d -ru n v ic tim , M elchor S. Pilande, 37, from the Philippines, was in serious con­dition yesterday at the C om ­monwealth Health Center due to a skull fracture.

Police Chief Antonio Reyes said Pilande and his friend Venancio Day ao, also 37, were working home at 2 am . when the former was hit by the south-bound car. The two men were also walking in the same direction when the accident oc­

curred near the Post Office.Pilande was the thirdworkerfrom

the Philippines who figured in a vehicular accident since last Satur­day.

LastSaturday FelipeRegino,29, lost control of the 1982 model Toyota station wagon he was driv­ing and rammed at some trees off As Lito Road.

He was pronounced dead hours later while his companion in the car, Ruben Balgonia, 37, sustained minor injuries.

Anybody who has information about the identity of the respon­sible driver should contact the po­lice.

w h o k i l l e d 7 - y e a r o l dRIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - Police are searching for a couple they say lead a satanic cult that abducted a 7-year-old boy, killed him in a sacrifice ritual and m uti­lated his body.·

The couple, Jose Taruggi and Valentina de Andrade, also are wanted for the abduction o f an­other child, an 8 -year-old boy, police said.

Taruggi, an Argentine, and de Andrade, a Brazilian, disappeared following the arrest o f Brazilian cult members who confessed to killing 7-year-old Evandro Ramos Caetano, Detective Joao A m aldo Hobmeir said in a telephone in­te rv iew W ed n esd ay fro m Curitiba, capital o f the southern state o f Parana.

“There is evidence that points to the existence of an international n e tw o rk o f sa ta n ic c u l ts ,” Hobmeir said, but declined to elaborate.

He said Taruggi and de Andrade disappeared from their hom e in Londrina, several hundred miles (kilometers) north of the coastal town of Guaratuba, w here the child was killed.

Police found devil worship lit­erature when they searched their house, an officer told a television reporter.

The case broke early this month when police arrested seven people allegedly involved in the murder of the boy, whose badly mutilated body was found in a field near Guaratuba five days after he dis­appeared on April 6 .

Hobmeir said the 7-year-old was sacrificed at a Guaratuba saw mill belonging to Aldo Abagge, the town mayor. The boy’s ears, hands and genitals were cut off, and his heart, liver and intestines removed.

His blood was collected, mixed with sawdust and thrown into the sea, the detective said.

Among those arrested w ere Celina and Beatrix Abagge, the m ayor’s wife and daughter.

They implicated the other sus­p e c ts , in c lu d in g O sw a ld o Marcineiro, a self-described “hi gh priest” in the normally benevolent A frican sp ir i t re lig io n o f Umbanda, which is widely pi ac-

ticed in Brazil, and two o f his assis tan ts , V icente de P au lo Ferreira and D avi dos Santos Soares.

All three have confessed to killing the child.

THE LEADERSHIP of the House of Representatives has urged the board of directors of the Com­monwealth Utilities Corp. and the governor to accept the resignation of Ramon S. Guerrero as CUC executive director.

In a news conference the other day, House Speaker Thomas P. Villagomez and House Commit­tee on Public Utilities, Transpor­ta tio n and C o m m u n ica tio n Chairman Heinz S. Hofschneider e x p re sse d th e ir su p p o rt to Guerrero’s impending resignation from the utilities firm.

“I am urging the Board mem­bers o f CUC to consider accept­ing Guerrero’s resignation as ex­ecutive director of CUC,” said Villagomez in an interview.

Hofschneider’s, committee re­cently investigated the financial operations of the CUC.

“We have to stress that the board o f directors should exercise its fiduciary responsibility given the fact that the oversight hearing has unearthed gross financial m is­management. I recognize that Mr. Guerrero is a doer and with his resignation, we may be losing a

doer,” said Hofschneider.But aside from calling on the

board, the two H ouse leaders called on the governor to get in­v o lv ed w ith th e issu e o f G uerrero’s resignation.

“The governor should now be showing that he is the father of this Commonwealth and take the initiative to take steps from that perspective,” Hofschneider said.

The board of directors were locked in a closed-door discus­sion W ednesday over Guerrero’s resignation, the outcome of which is yet to be determined.

Guerrero calls session to pass budgetG O V E R N O R L o ren zo I. Guerrero invoking his constitu­tional authority has called the Legislature to a special session on Monday to pass the budget for fiscal year 1992.

“The Commonwealth faces a budget crisis,” Guerrero said in his letter to House Speaker Tho­mas P. Villagomez and Senate President Joseph S. Inos.

“W e are 10 months into the budget year with no legislative action on an appropriation for Executive Branch agencies,” the g o v ern o r to ld In o s and Villagomez.

As a re su lt o f the d e lay , Guerrero said, major departments of the CNMI government pro­viding essential services had run out of funds.

“The Public School System, the Northern Marianas College, the Department of Public Safety and the Commonwealth Health C en­ter have all sent letters pleading for financial relief and threaten­ing termination of services,” said Guerrero.

Article 2, Section 13 o f the Commonwealth Constitution al­lows the governor to convene the Legislature if the need arises.

Enactment o f the budget law was stalled by the failure o f the S en a te -H o u se C o n fe ren ce Committe to arrive at a com pro­mise agreement that would settle a minor issue that blocked passage of the already delayed budget.

The joint committee could not resolve the issue o f whether or not 30 full time employees o f the Tinian municipal council should be allowed to be transferred to the Tinian m ayor’s office.

M akeup o f R abin 's governm ent plunges rabb is in to tu rm d ilJERUSALEM (AP) -The makeup of Yitzhak Rabin’s new govern­ment has plunged Israeli rabbis into turmoil, inflaming old ethnic tensions and the divide between religious and secular Jews.

The uproar stems from the reli­gious Shas party joining Rabin’s coalition, in defiance o f rabbini­cal rulings, and the appointment of secular crusader Shulamit Aloni as education minister.

If the victory of Rabin’s Labor party in the June 23 election was a political earthquake, the after­shock came when Shas broke ranks with the other religious parties and aligned with Rabin to give him a majority in Parliament.

W orse, in the eyes o f Shas’s critics, was the party’s readiness to serve in the Cabinet alongside Aloni, a woman whose campaigns against rabbinical influence over daily life have earned her the ha­tred o f many Orthodox Jews.

The controversy runs along the fault line that has always divided the c lo is te re d w o rld o f the haredim , ultra-religious Jews, from the secularmajority typified by Rabin and Aloni.

It also involves centuries-old differences between European- d escen d ed A sh k en az is and M iddle Eastern Sephardis.

Among secular Jews, the ethnic divide is slowly disappearing. But among the haredim, Ashkenazis and Sephardis have little in com ­m on beyond their d istinctive beards and black garb.

Theyobservedifferentreligious rituals, shunmixedmarriages and, in recent years, have voted for se p a ra te p o litic a l p a r tie s - Sephardis for Shas, Ashkenazis for the factions that allied for this election under the title United Torah Judaism,

Ashkenazis have traditionally dominatedharedi politics through their mastery of rabbinical lore,

their grip on financial handouts and their use of Yiddish, a lan­guage unfamiliar to Sephardis.

The rise o f Shas and its spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, partly reflects Sephardi resent­ment o f the Ashkenazis’ aura of superiority. Their anger roseduring the election cam paign when Ashkenazi Rabbi Eliezer Schach declared Sephardi reli­gious politicians to be ill-prepared for government and endorsed the A shkenazi-dom inated U nited Torah party. Ordinarily, an en­dorsement from such a venerated sage has the power of holy writ. Thus the real bombshell came when Yosef, himself a rabbi of enormous stature, told his fol­lowers to defy the order and vote Shas. Shas triumphed with six parliam entary seats to United Torah’s four.

The rebellion didnot stop there. W hen Rabin gave Aloni the edu­cation job , a post long held by.a religious minister, Schach and other leading rabbis forbade Shas to join the coalition. Again, Yosef defied them. Ironically,Schach played a key role in cre­ating Shas nearly a decade ago as an instrument to halt the drift of Sephardis away from haredi par­ties. He perhaps did notreckon on it becoming the stron­g es t h a re d i party . S h a s ’s kingmaking role has w

on it a share o f the financial pie and broken its dependence on Ashkenazi largess.

“W hat we are now witnessing is an Oedipal revolt by Rabbi Y osef against Rabbi Schach,” commented the daily Maariv. “It is the rite of passage of religious Sephardis, liberating themselves from the guardianship of the re­ligious Ashkenazis.”

Shas politicians and rabbis have resisted heavy pressure to back down.

POLITICIANS in Rota have started girding* up for the mayoralty elections next year as the la s t term of office of incumbent Mayor Prudencio T. Manglona nears its end.

A source from Rota said that with the incumbent Republican mayor not running for a third term, Rota politicians have been engaging in political posturing and have been formulating strate­gies this early.

Article VI, Section 2 (b) of the CNMI Constitution allows only two terms for the mayor.

A ccording to the source, a faction in the Rota Republican Party is preparing to circulate a petition to urge L ieutenant Governor Benjamin T. Manglona to run for the position that would be vacated by the mayor, who is his brother.

"This is-a political move that would provide a graceful exit for the lieutenant governor in the event tha t the rcclcctionist tandem o f Governor Lorenzo I. DL. Guerrero and the former does not prove to be an unbeatable team," the source said.

He added that the faction earlier considered the incumbent mayor's son, Vicente, to run but after seeing little chances at the polls, shifted attention to the lieutenant governor as the more winnablc candidate.

The pro-M anglona group has been holding barbecue meetings a im ed a t co n v inc ing the

L t. Gov. M anglona

lieutenant governor to run for mayor in Rota, which has been described as "Manglomrcountry" because of the incumbent mayor's eight years at the helm.

With the lieutenant governor as candidate· the next mayor is expected to com e from the Manglona clan.

"That (the petition to run as m ayor) h as reach ed my knowledge and indeed they arc asking me to run. But I feel as of now I can't consider that option as the governor and I still have to discuss our future political plans. It's still too early to consider that," Lt. Gov. Manglona said in a telephone interview yesterday.

He, however, added that if his constituen ts in ;R ota really

Inos

wanted him to run, there would be nothing wrong because that would be their choice.

"I fully respect the will of the people o f Rota, but as o f now, my mind is set on the interest of the Commonwealth as a whole, so CNMI-wide interests first," he stressed.

R o ta M ayor M anglona, Republican Party President Jack Atalig and Vice President Fermin Atalig were contacted yesterday to shed light on the matter but were all unavailable for comment.

Meanwhile, there have been •fears that the Republican Party was heading towards a split up on account of other party members also posturing for the mayoralty candidacy.

U nconfirm ed reports said Senate President Joseph S. Inos was also preparing to run as Rota mayor. Former Election Board Chairman Roman Manglona is also in the running.

R om an, who is currently resident director of Finance for Rota, confirmed his intention to run jn an interview yesterday, saying he would ask the support

o f Inos, the mayor and the lieutenant governor.

"I am running for mayor, so I have to make my plans known early. 1 believe in the adage, 'the early bird catches the worm' and so I have to announce this earlier than the rest," said Roman.

On the other hand, Inos, when asked to comment on his plans, said, "Let's just wait and see."

“All I want is to get all these bills out of my committee, out o f the Senate, and into the House for proper disposition. I consider all these bills important pieces of legislation-and should have been calling for public hearings oh them much earlier, if not for some of m y members being occasionally absent,” said Torres.

m u r d e rLEGAZPI, Philippines (AP) - A man killed by apolice officer was identified Thursday by his brother and investigators as the driver of an American woman who had been murdered in Manila, police said.

Police tagged the m an, Alvin Booher, as the principal suspect in the killing o f Gertrude Stewart, a 74-year-old longtime resident o f the Philippines. Mrs. Stewart was found dead in a vacant lot in the Manila suburb o f Paranaque Sunday. She was reported miss­ing the previous day after she left to go shopping with Booher. Autopsy revealed she was beaten to death. B ooher, w ho had pending drug trafficking and car theft charges, had been driving Mrs. Stewart’s for just three days, police said.

Booher and acompanion, Jaime Panin, were killed late Tuesday by a police officer who tried to question them for having a car that had earlier been reported as stolen, police said.

Superintendent Jose Angeles, police operations chief o f the Bicol region, said Booher, 25, was identified by his younger brother, Jose, and investigators from Manila at a morgue in Bato town.

Bato is about 50 kilometers (30 miles) northwest o f Legazpi and about 390 kilometers (245 miles) southeast o f Manila.

- Angeles said Booher and his companion were trying to sell Mrs. Stew art’s car in Bato for only 5,000 pesos ($192). Pro­sp e c tiv e b u y ers becam e suspicious and called the police.

Police officer Floro Doctolero saw the car parked at a restaurant and approached the two to ques­tion diem. But one o f the men tried to reach for a weapon inside a bag/which prompted Doctolero to fire, killing them. An earlierpolice report said the two men shot Doctolero, who fired back in self-defense.

Police said they recovered Mrs. Stewart’s driver’s license, a check she had signed for 1 0 , 0 0 0 pesos ($384) and a grenade inside a bag carried by one of the slain men.

Mrs. Stewart had been living in the Philippines for the past 65 years. She was a landscape de­signer who also rented out potted plants to business offices and had w ritten a cooking colum n for M anila’s biggest daily, The Ma­nila Bulletin.

Her four children all live in the United States.

Mrs. Stewart’s remains will be cremated before being sent to Scotland where the remains of her husband are buried.

By Daniel Q. Haney

AMSTERDAM (AP) - The grim vision o f a global epidemic run­ning out of control overshadows the opening Sunday of a weeklong review by 10,000 AIDS experts o f setbacks and gains in their straggle to stop the disease.

Theepidemichas leveledoff in the United States and western Europe, but many fear some of the world’s poorest regions could be ravaged by the spread o f the AIDS virus through heterosexual intercourse.

This year’s International Con­ference on AIDS is the eighth in the short history of the epidemic. It brings together the top minds on the disease from more than 1 0 0 countries - doctors, scientists, social workers, activists, govern­ment health officials and people dying of AIDS.

They will hear 986 speakers on subjects ranging from antibodies and A ID S-related cancer to homophobia and the “commer­cial sex industry,” the meeting’s euphemism for prostitution.

Behind these often highly tech­nical summaries of lab work and sociological investigations are two sobering challenges:

-The disease is already ram­pant in parts o f Africa and is spreading with alarming speed through India,Thailand andother parts of Asia. No country is likely to escape entirely,but the threatto impoverished regions seems es­pecially great. .

-No effective treatment is in sight, пот is a vaccine near. The virus is proving to be an amaz­ingly resourceful foe, constantly changing itself to escape new medicines and the body’s own defenses.

Harvard University is sponsor­ing the conference and originally intended to hold it in Boston. It was moved because ADDS activ­ists threatened to disrupt it over U.S. immigration rules that limit entry into the country of foreigners infected with AIDS.

“The six days in Amsterdam could be a critical week in the history o f world AIDS,” said Dr. Jonathan Mann of Harvard, the conference chairman. InM ann’s view, the meeting will help so­lidify a consensus that stepping the epidemic wall require seeing AIDS as part o f a larger problem o f economic and social inequity around the world.

‘T ak e a country with hardly any AIDS today and you can predict that, within 1 0 years, the virus will more likely affect those people who are discriminated against because of gender, reli­gion, race or sexual preference,” he said. .

According to a recent s Mann directed, 13 million j around the\vorld are infecti HIV, the AIDS virus. People Africa and Asia will be an im­portant.presence at this year’s meeting, and for good reason. Nearly 8 million of the world’s infected people live in Africa,

mostly in western and southern parts o f the continent. The num­ber infected has tripled in just

• fiveyears.InAbidjanintheIvory Coast, 7 percent o f adults carry HIV,up from 1 percentfive years ago.

About 1 million, are infected in Asia, but the epidemic there may overt ·

ake Africa by the end of the decade. Mann predicts that, by the late 1990s, India could have more people infected with HIV than any other country. Mucho f the focus in Amsterdam will be on the development o f drugs for treatment, as at earlier meet­ings, but organizers say there is unlikely to be any major an­nouncement of discoveries.

“There is a fair amount of pessimism around,” said Dr. Max Essex, a Harvard virologist who helped plan the conference. “That’s trueasfar as any treatment right now. But there is a lot of excitement in the science. There is a feeling that we at least now. understand why we have these problems with HIV.”

Three medicines - AZT, DDI and DDC - are approved in the United States. They slow the vi­rus, but do not destroy it, and lose their effectiveness after a year or two of use.

The reason, it has now become clear, is the amazing ability of the virus to change itself. Research into this variability will be amajor scientific theme of the meeting.

When the AIDS vim s repro­duces inside a cell, it makes mistakes copying itself, so none o f the individual viruses inside the body are exactly alike. Some o f the changes are just enough to allow the virus to elude medi­cines. Some drugs, for example, are intended to block enzymes the virus makes for reproduction. But mutant viruses make slightly different versions of the enzymes that are impervious to the drags.

One goal of research is to look for parts of the virus that are so essential that they do not change and could be the targets o f new drugs. Recentunderstanding o f the variability of the bug has destroyed hope that a single medicine will effectively hold the virus in check.

“Most agree that combination therapy will be the way to go,” said Dr. Joseph Sodroski o f Harvard, chairman o f the basic science program at the meeting.

Conference delegates will hear researchers describe attempts to improve the effectiveness of

/A ID S drugs by using them to­gether or staggering them.

Among other subjects on the agenda:

-Vaccines: Variability of the virus makes it difficult to design a single vaccine that will protect people against' all versions.

-Geographic differences: The virus that is rampant across Af­rica is different from the versions common in Asia. This may affect the speed with which the disease spreads.

TWO SAIPAN residents have filed a civil complaint before the' Superior Court in a bid to regain possession of a prime land in San Antonjo where the $35-mil- lion Pacific Islands Club (PIC) now stands.

In the civil action filed July 15, plaintiffs Domingo C^Cruz and Lourdes P. Cruz invoked Article 12 of the CNMI Consti­tution which was earlier used by another Saipan resident to lay claim to another prime land where Hotel Nikko is located.

Theodore R. Mitchell and Jeanne H. Rayphand, counsels of the plaintiffs, cited Section 6 of Article 12 which states, in part, that the purchase of a piece of land in the Commonwealth by acorporationnotincorporated in the Commonwealth and whose directors are not 100 percent of Northern Marianas descent— will be forfeited.

The plaintiffs sold the 1.3- hectare property to South Seas Corp. on Jyne 15, 1978. South Seas Corp. then placed the property’s title in the name of Joaquin P. Villanueva, who was a Saipan resident at the time of the transaction.

While South Seas was lawfully famed in the CNMI and was transacting business in Saipan, its directors were not all of Northern Marianas descent, the plaintiffs said.

The Cruzes likewise said that the June 15 sale was void be­cause Section 1 of Article 12 which restricts the acquisition

of land in the CNMI only to persons of Northern Marianas descent, was violated.

Aside from Villanueva and South Seas, the complaint also named six other defendants in the civil complaint. The other six are Terra Firma Inc., Linden Ihtegral Research Inc., Con­sultants International Ltd., Adrian J. Johnston, Dolores Johnston and Interpacific Re­sorts Corp. which operates the posh PIC.

Since the Cruzes sold the property in 1978 the property passed the hands of the said persons and coporations men­tioned— mostly through lease or sub-lease agreements— its latest owner being the Interpacific.

“Because the transaction of which the Villanueva Deed is the product and the. Villanueva Deed itself are void ab initio, the first link in the chain of title leading to the other defendants is broken and they acquired no right, no title, Jien or other in­terest in the property from the plaintiffs or from defendant Joaquin P. Villanueva,” the complaint states.

The Cruzes expressed hope the first sale be voided and that they bé “entitled to the quiet, peaceful and exclusive posses­sion of the property.”

When asked f a comment, PIC General Manager Jim Dennis said the club management was unaware of such a civil action and declined to comment.

The club was bult in 1988 with a budget of $35 million.

M alaysia to tighten toxic waste controlsKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -ThePerakstate government will tighten regulations on disposal of toxic wastes in 55 factories fol­lowing a court order to close down a Japanese factory that was judged a health hazard, an official said Thursday.

Au How Cheong, Chairman of the northwestern Malaysian state’s Local government and Environ­ment Committee, said state de­partments have been ordered to review their regulations a t toxic wastes.

Au, a state legislator, said the action follows the high court deci­sion Saturday to close the Asian Rare Earth factory at Bukit MerahnearIpoh,200kilometers(120 miles)north of Kuala Lumpur.

The AsianRare Earth, which is 35-percent owned by Mitsubishi kasei Cop. of Japan, produced rare earth minerals used in electronic compo­nents from tin tailings By-products include thorium residue which emit. radiation.

Au said the 55 other factories were storing the30,000tons of toxicwastes

they produced annually on factory premises.

The court ruling has shown that this practice was unsafe, the National News Agency Bemama quoted Au assaying.

Au didnot give details of die new regulations but said the government has built toxic waste storage sites at Papan,Taiping and Kinta areas of the state.

The courthas ordered thorium and other radioactive wastes stored at the Asian Rare Earth factory be moved to a toxic waste dump nearby.

The state government will also ban housingprojectsnear industrial areas, Au added.

Meanwhile, Asian Rare Earth Workers Union President Syed Aminuddin Syed Nordin said they plan to file an appeal in the supreme court next Tuesday against die do- sure.

Tyed.said the 200 workers at the factory undergo medical examina­tions every sue months and have shown no negative effects from ex­posure to radiation.

NOAA presents grim report on Gulf oil pollutionNORFOLK (AP) - A research vessel sent to study the environ­mental impact of the oil Iraqis dumped in the PersiaiijGulf dur­ing the war has returned with a sober assessment: It will take de­cades for gulf laches to recover. The Mount Mitchell, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad­ministration ship, was welcomed home Wednesday, after a six- month mission. The agency’s John H. Robinson, the federal government’s top expert on oil spills, said it will take decades for the devastated Saudi Arabian coast to recover.

“I think that’s the best we can pin it down at this point,” Robinson said. The Iraqis piped up. to 350 million gallons of oil into the. Persian Gulf during the war.

Robinson described Saudi Arabia’s gulf beaches as virtually lifeless, with sea grasses wasted and crabs and other marine crea­tures gone. Along the Kuwaiti coast, coral reefs are about 90 percentdestroyed,hesaid. The Mount Mitchell reached the area in mid-February, about a year after the war. “We were amazed that a year later it was as bad as it was,” Robinson said.

The situation is far better off­shore. The scientists made 180 dives offthe Saudi coast and found · oil only three times, he said.

Experts will meet in January to go over their findings. Participat- ing in the mission were 140 scientists from 15 nations.

Robinson was the government’s science coordinator for studying the Exxon Valdez disaster, the worst oil spill in the United. Nearly 11 million gallons of Alaskan crude spilled in Prince William Sound in the spring of 1989.

The chamber executive direc­tor said forcing employers on- island to pay the $4.35 hourly wage would also hurt the con­sumers who have to bear part of the burden by buying more costly commodities.

Also in the same survey , it was learned that those who were against the US minimum wage would lay-off some workers or worse, go out of business.

Twenty-one or also about two- thirds of the employers surveyed were against Federal control of immigration in the CNMI, nine businessmen favored while six were uncertain.

The first reason given by those against was that most employers in Saipan are dependent on non­resident workers whose entry to the CNMI might be tightened or even banned if the US takes over

him with a golf club and have him cut to pieces by one of Sablan’s workers.

Investigation conducted by DPS Special Agent Dwain Fernandez

showed that Sablan’s fury was an offshoot of his suspicion that his wife Lucy and Kato were having an affair.

At 1:30 p.m. last July 14, Sablan arranged for Kato to per­sonally deliver the ex-director’s bank statement to the Sablan.. residence in Garapan.

When the bank executive ar­rived, however, Sablan allegedly accused Kato of having a rela­tionship with his wife who has filed divorce against the former public works director.

Kato denied the accusation but Sablan allegedly shoved the bank

executive into a comer of a room in his house and assaulted him.

Kato managed to flee while Sablan was allegedly threatening the bank executive that he would be beaten up with a golf club and cut up.

The manager ran up the stairs' leading to a door oh the second floor of Sablan’s house and leaped over to the roof of an adjacent structure before jumping to the ground.

Kato suffered a fractured heel and broken right thumb and right toe.

Assistant Attorney General Cheryll M. Gill said there was “probable cause” to believe that the crime of assault and battery was committed by Sablan.

Cuomo was a symbol of the party’s surprisingunity-aleading liberal from New York placing into nomination the name of a moderate from the small state of the Ozaiks, a self-styled agent of change.

For all the bumps along the primary road - and there were many - Clinton was presiding over a unified party, newly optimistic about the prospects for November.

Far from the cheering Demo­cratic delegates, independent Ross Perot’"S candidacy was jolted by the resignation of veteran politi­cal strategist Ed Rollins as cam­paign co-manager.

Publicity Surrounding the unity at the Democratic convention was bearing fruit in the polls. An ABC- Washington Post survey gave Clinton a 42-30 advantage over Bush among registered voters, with Perot at 20 percent In con­trast Clinton was third at 26 per­cent in a similar survey taken last month.

Political conventions usually confer such a boost on a candidate; the challenge is to sustain it as the Republicans and Perot later stage their owa

For Clinton, the nominating roll call was the culmination of a campaign in which he triumphed by virtue of broad political gifts and personal griL Staggered last winter by allegations of woman­izing and draft-dodging, he lost the first primary in New Hamp­shire, and watched as his support ebbed. But he won New York, and in the Midwest and sewed up the nomination June 2 in California..

His triumph underscored a re­markable personal journey. Clinton was bom 45 years ago in Hqpe, Ark., to a widow who later remarried a man who was a abus

ive alcoholic. He is a graduate of Yale law school, Rhodes scholar, five times elected gov­ernor of Arkansas.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who delivered a moving, memorable speech from the same podium as a losing candidate a dozen years ago, summoned his liberal parti­sans to join Clinton’s cause. “We must end the politics of neglect­ing the needy and then blaming them for their pain,” he said. “We will never give up. We will never give in. Arid in 1992, we are going to win,” he said.

CuomohailedClintonas “anew captain with a new course” and pointed out that in Little Rock he’d balanced 11 budgets in as many years. He concluded with a reference to the governor’s rock- strewn path to the nomination, invoking Clinton’s description of himself as “the Comeback Kid.” Delegates watched a film about Kennedy’s late brother, Robert F. Kennedy, a New York senator and presidential contender who was assassinated in 1968.

A parade of Democratic speakers roasted Bush and ex­tolled Clinton.

Sen. Bob Kerrey, also van­quished in the primaries, said of Clinton, “I watched him take the heat, and stand up to it, again and again.... I can tell you that he is genuine, and he has a vision for America.”

immigration.Jones said the CNMI will have

a hard time achieving self-suffi­ciency if the US government were to takeover iinmigration and la­bor in the Northern Marianas. “We are in the learning process., taking over will not help achieve sustainable economy,” he said.

“What we need (from the US) is technical assistance not con­trol,” said Jones.

As the governor’s state coordi- natorfor the nation-wide program, Torres has overseen the work of the CNMI council that began its work last February. The CNMI council joined the national level panel in February in W ashington D.C. at a conference hosted by the US Surgeon General Novato.

He said that in addition to its role to formulate and implement CNM I goals and an action plan, the CNM I council delegation was chosen to lead the US insular ar­e a s and ac t to re v ie w an d coordinate all o f their collective efforts toward President Bush’s national education goals.

e m i t s s t e a m , l a v aMANILA, Philippines (AP) - Mount Pinatubo emitted more steam, ash and lava Thursday in its “baby eruption,” and set the earth shaking weakly at a former U.S.-run military base, scientists said.

Raymundo Punongbayan, di­rector of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, said Pinatubo’s eruptions would remain quiet while the volcano builds a lava dome inside its two- kilometer (1.25-mile)-wide cra­ter.

The volcano, 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Manila, killed 700 people and left 400,000 people homeless in a series of eruptions that began in June last year after 600 years of inactivity.

The current eruption “is a baby eruption compared to the erup­tion last year,” Punongbayan said.

“I don’t think we will have a major eruption,” he told a civic group meeting. “This is just a dome-building episqde and in general, will be of the quiet type.”

Punongbayan said an islet that had formed in the middle of the crater lake had grown from 100 meters (330feet) up to300meters (990 feet) in diameter as magma, or lava, rose to the surface. Its height also doubled to 10 meters (33 feet) above the lake’s water level, he added.

He said this lava dome building will continue for up to five years. Lava flows in the current eruption are not dangerous because they are confined inside the crater, Punongbayan said.

He said the main danger will come from tons of volcanic debris deposited on Pinatubo’s' slopescontinued on page 25

Aldan said.He cited the “bunkhouse rule”

in applying the precedent cases, as in Crowford vs. Worker’s Compensation Appeals Board, in which the California court ruled “that sleeping on the premises must either be required by the employer so that he could avail of the employee’s services *ar any time, or the sleeping facilities must be supplied as extra compensa­tion in addition to wage or salary

Aldan also mentioned tne case of a farm hand who, after com­pleting hisdaily duties, got injured while cutting wood to heat his residence. The court held that the claimant should be compensated for injuries sustained in normal and expected activity neair his residence.

Aldan himself came up with hypothetical situations which may compel the committee to further study the provisions of the bill.

deem it proper to wait for Sep­tember 3 to act on Guerrero’s resignation, and thus opted to accept it so it could have more time to look for a replacement.

“We’re sorry he had to leave, and we recognize his accom­plishments. What the board is

“Due to. poorly constructed barracks, if an employee falls and is injured; due to faulty electrical wiring on the housing, the worker is electrocuted; or because of unsanitary conditions resulting from overcrowding, an employee becomes ill; doesn’tthoemployee need tribe entitled to compensa­tion?” Aldan asked Torres.

“We must hot treat our workers subjected to the same circum­stances in themainland and Guam differently,” he added.

currently concerned about is his replacement I don’t see anything to be much alarmed about in that there are capable people in the corporation. We have a good deputy executive director, and well-trained division managers capable of doing the job,” Sablan said.

BEUING (AP) - China on Thurs­day denied that forced labor was used to produce tea and socks the U.S. Customs Service has banned from U.S. markets on grounds the goods allegedly were made by prisoners.

The tea comes from the Red Star Tea Farm in Yingde County in southeastern China, near Hong Kong. The socks were made by the Beijing Qinghe Hosiery Fac­tory and may be marketed under the brand name “Gold Double Horse.”

A ban on U.S. imports of the tea and socks went into effect on Monday.

“Neither that farm nor that factory has ever used prison labor in producing goods for export,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wu Jianmin told a weekly news briefing.

“The Chinese government’s position as regards labor products has been very explicit, which is no reform throughlabor enterprise has the right to do external busi­ness or to do trade of exports,” Wusaid.

However, the international hu­man rights group Asia Watch has published what it says are internal Chinese documents encouraging prisons to export goods.

U.S. law forbids import of products made byforcedor prison labor. U.S. authorities say China has exported prison-made tea, machine ¡nesses, diesel engines, hand tools, steel pipes and auto seat covers to the United States.

The U.S. Congress has sought to link Chinese cooperation in halting prison exports to China’s most-favored-nation trade status, which entitles it to the lowest

possible tariffs on its exports to the United States.

On June 18, the U.S. State De­partment and the Chinese gov­ernment initialeda“memorandum of understanding” on the subject The State Department has de­clined to release details, but offi­cials said it would allow U.S. representatives to inspect Chinese factories and make sure that no prison-made goods are exported.

The accord remains under consideration by both govern­ments and there has been no date set for it to go into effect

Meanwhile, Chinese and U.S. officials were holding afifth round of talks Thursday on opening up China’s market.

Lee Sands, director of China' and Mongolian Affairs for the U.S. Trade Representative’s Of­fice, opened the talks on Wednesday, said U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Lorraine Toly. She had no information on how the talks were progressing.

The United States has set an Oct. 10 deadline for settling market access disputes. China could face higher import tariffs on its goods sold to the United States if the deadline passes without a resolution.

In the last round of talks in late May, China agreed to provide a list within two months of all its trade bans, import controls and quotas. It was not known if the lists have been handed over yet.

One of the United States ’ major complaints is secret Chinese trade regulations that pose barriers to American traders. Last year, the United States had a trade deficit of $12.7 billion with China, sec­ond only to its deficit with Japan.

by last year’s eruption and poised to cascade to the lowlands after heavy rains.

Last year, entire communities near river channels around Pinatubo were buried under de­bris.

A statement from the institute said the volcano had eight high- and three low-frequency temblors during the 24 hours ended at 6 a.m. (2200 GMT Wednesday).

Leyo Bautista, an institute spokeswoman, said a weak earth­quake was felt at the former U.S.-

run Clark Air Base, five kilome­ters (three miles) east of the vol­cano. The quake, caused by soil adjustment due to the eruption, was the first quake felt in the last two weeks.

U.S. authorities closed Clark after the 1991 eruption extensively damaged the base.

The institute has declared a 10- kilometer (6-mile) “danger zone” around Pinatubo’s summit, but Red Cross officials said about 700 families still refuse ta leave their homes within the area.

We have to stick to our filing requirements.” Since you did not make this point very clear as to exactly what you really meant, then we can safely say that: 1) Your total refusal to admit that there is in fact a problem within your department, and 2) that you cannot change things or do not want to accept any comments and suggestions to alleviate the pressing problems within your department. Not even to take your precious time to really think and really look into your department’s overall functions and see what the problem is but to

continue in your old same prac­tices and just let these problems go on and on.

That’s a big no no Mr. Director! Since you made your decision very clear, we now have no other re­course but to proceed full speed ahead in getting all our elected officials and other agencies in­volved in order to assist and defi­nitely correct and alleviate all these problems in your department.

And if we have to explore and go another route, we will not hesitate to do so. Just bear in mind though, Mr. Director, that it is the people who are speaking out, simply put, it’s the people’s power!

quickly as possible. I make my­self available 24 hours a day to the liaison office so that if they have problems, they can contact me and we can get them solved.

I personally visit Saipan at Straub expense once or twice a year and give talks to the hospital and lay community in Saipan. I meet with the medical staff and administrative staff at CHC to evaluate and correct any prob­lems that may be occurring. For three or four years, Straub has been sending ophthalmologists to Saipan to see patients there. I have offered the services of urologists, cardiologists and other subspecialists to make visits to Saipan on a periodic basis.

Certainly, we cannot send all o f our subspecialists and physicians to Saipan. We can, however, send some of the more needed spe­cialties to Saipan on a regular basis. We have also sent Ear- Nose-throat physicians to Saipan in the past.

While there may be communi­cation problems with some pa­tients that come to Honolulu on referral, I believe this' problem rarely if ever occurs with patients sent to Straub. Straub will always continue to make itself available to assist in the care of medical problems of the people of CNMI.

D i s p u t e o v e r a b o r t i o n p i l l s

r e a c h e s U S S u p r e m e C o u r tNEW YORK (AP) - A preg­nant woman challenging a U.S. ban on a French abortion pill was upset by legal delays as she waits to see if the nation’s highest court will let her have the drug, one of her lawyers said.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednes­day asked the Justice Depart­ment to explain why the confis­cated drug RU486 shouldn’t be returned to the woman. Justice Departmentlawyersweretofile a response early Thursday. Thomas has responsibility for emergency cases from New York.

The case wound up in Wash­ington after a series of lower- court decisions in New York a day earlier that saw judges ap­pointed by Democratic and Re­publican presidents taking op­posite sides of the issue.

Leona Benten, an American who brought the pills from En­gland on July 1, is nearly eight weeks pregnant and can safely start taking the pills only until Saturday, her lawyers say.

The combination of the im­pending deadline and contin­ued delays were disconcerting to her, said Rachel Pine, a lawyer with the Center for Re­productive Law and Policy, which is representing Ms. Benten.

“She’s in California, at home. She’s very upset with the delay. If this drags on another week, justice delayed becomes justice denied for Leona Benten," Pine said.

Ms. Benten, a 29-year-old un­married social worker, refused requests from The Associated Press for an interview. In an in­terview published Thursday in The New York Times, said she had asurgical abortionnine years ago and would have another if she can’t get the RU486 back.

“I don’t like surgery, I don’t like hospitals, and I believe in self-determination, so I ’d much rather take a pill than put myself in the hands of someone who’s going to do a procedure on me,” she told the Times. “It’s insane that there is a totally safe proce­dure for women to end their pregnancies, but it’s unavailable forpoliticalreasons,”Ms. Benten said. “It makes me furious.”

The pill, developed by the French pharmaceu tical company Roussel Uclaf, causes a fertilized egg to be expelled before it can be implanted in the uterus wall.

The confiscated pills remain in the custody of Customs officials, who seized them after the woman arrivedfrom England atKennedy International Airport. The Cen­ter for Reproductive Law and Policy sued on Ms. Benten’s behalf.

Abortion Rights Mobilization had arranged Ms. Benten’s trip and alerted authorities to her ar­rival to challenge the Food and Drug Administration’s policy against the pill. They charge j f stems from the Bush administration’s anti-abortion stance.

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled the government had po­litical motivations when it ille­gally seized the drug. He ordered it returned to Ms. Benten imme­diately.

But a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap­peals granted a government re­quest to block the ruling, pend­ing further appeals.

An emergency request to lift the stay was filed at the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday morning, a court spokeswoman said. Justice Thomas can act alone or refer the matter to the full court.

RU486, which has been used by some 110,000 women in Britain and France, has not been approved in the United States.

The FDA allows people to import in small quantities of drugs that are approved in other countries, as long as they are not for commercial use. But it has banned RU486. Cancer and AIDS drugs are the most commonly imported.

By Jan M. Olsen

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - An Am erican expedition drank cham pagne on G reenland’s ice cap W ednesday to m ark the forced landing 50 years ago o f eight U.S. Air Force planes.

Six P-38 pursuit aircraft and two B-17 bombers, running low on fuel, landed on the ice after crossing the Atlantic from Maine. They w ere reportedly the largest group o f Am erican planes to make a forced landing in W orld W ar H.

“W e brought champagne and i t ’s party time now,” said Icelan­dic p ilo t Hafnir Frostasson by telephone. “We have brought to the surface tw o-thirds o f 'o n e plane in pieces, and w e’ll cel­ebrate that, too.”

Besides Frostasson, the expe­dition includes 24 Americans and one Norwegian. They include one of the pilots who came down on the ice - Brad McMagnus.

The Am erican planes had been headed fo r England but were pushed o ff course by bad weather. They apprently received false weather reports, believed broad­cast by a German submarine.

On July 15, 1942, they came down 75 miles (120 kms) west o f the Kulusuk airstrip in eastern Greenland. Kulusuk, one o f four form er U.S. airstrips on the is­land, is 155 miles (250 kms) south o f the Arctic C ircle and is east o f Nuuk, capital of the Danish terri­tory.

All 25 American fliers were rescued. The planes were aban­doned in the ever-deepening snow.

The expedition is sponsored by American companies and in­dividuals including Epps Avia­tion of Atlanta, Georgia. The sp o nso rs have been sending workers to the site during sum ­mers since 1981. They intend to salvage the planes, using steam to m elt the ice.

Planes have been located as far as 90 meters (297 feet) below the surface. In 1990, workers reached the two B-17’s and found them crushed by the weight of the ice.

“We have brought to the sur­face the wings, tail, nose parts and engine o f a P -38,” said Frostasson.

“The structure o f the body is in perfect shape. W ith some fixing and m aintenance, it could fly again,” he said.

Frostasson said the expedition planned to open a hole around the fuselage o f the P-38 and pull it out piece by piece w ithin two weeks.

He said team members sleep in te r is and cabins on the ice cap, w here sum m er tem pera tu res reach 10 degrees C elsius (50 Fahrenheit) and drop below zero degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit).

FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1992 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEW S-31

A f r i c a n r u n n e r s s h i n e i n N i c eNICE, France (AP) - Africans were nearly everywhere but the top Am erican relay team was missing at the Nikaia Grand Prix track meet. African runners took all but tw o individual events starting with Frankie Fredericks of Nambia in the 100 up to a distance display by the Kenyans above 400 meters.

Only Roger Black of Britain in the 400 meters and American Tony Dees in the 110 hurdles were able to beat the Africans while the Canadian 4 x 100 relay barely beat a tough N igerian squad.

M ean w h ile , the A m erican m en ’s sprin t relay team was scheduled to run but the meet promoters could not reach a fi­nancial agreeement with the Santa M onica track club, which has A m erican O lym pians L eroy Burrell, Mark Witherspoon, Mike Marsh and Carl Lewis.

Canada won the relay in 38.62 w ith Ben Johnson leading off and Bruny Surin running anchor. Ni­geria was second in 38.69.

Kenya showed its awesome distance strength by dominating all the races above 800 meters, including a stunning group per­formance in the 1,500 meters.

W ith the track events of the Olympics set to begin July 31, the athletes are warming up and pro­duced some top performances of the year. W ilfred Kirochi led led Kenyans to the firstfour places in the “metric mile,” coming in first with a year’s best time of 3 minutes, 33.04 seconds. The other Kenyans - Joseph Chesire, David Kibet and W illiam Kemei - were under 3:34, about the equivalent o f a 3:51 mile (1,600 meters).

Paul Bitoktookthe3,000meters in 7:35.0., another 1992 best as Kenyans took the first three places.

W illiam Tanui won the 800

meters in 1:44.7, with Kenyans in three of the top six places.

Then Micah Boinett topped the Kenyan evening with a 8:12.69 in the 3,000 m eter steeplechase, ahead of three other Kenyans.

Another world best was set in the w om en’s 400 when France’s w orld cham pion, M arie Jose Perec, won in 49.50. Right be­hind her was American Gwen Torrence in 49.64.

Torrence will not be in the Olympic 400, though. She won both sprints in the Am erican O lym pic trials and is the top sprinter competing. Double World Champion German Katrin Krabbe decided to pass up the Olympics after the stress involved in fight­ing her drug suspension.

Torrence was second in both the 100 and 200 behind Krabbe at the W orld Championships last year in Tokyo.

e n d s 1 s t h a l fMULHOUSE, France (AP) - The Tour de France ended the first half o f this year’s race about the way it started.

Miguel Indurain was in the favorite’s role while there are questions on G reg LeM ond’s form.

Indurain, although in second p lace behind P ascal L ino of France, is regarded as the man to beat. After his stunning perfor­mance in M onday’s time trial, and the mountains coming up, it is a matter of time before Indurain gets to wear the leader’s yellow jersey again.

As defending cham pion, he wore it at the start of the prologue then held it for a day as he won the preliminary time trial.

He gave it up temporarily to let others use but i t ’s his to take for the asking.

Meanwhile, LeMond is having problems again.

As he did in the first two stages of the Tour, he faded in the first modest climb. Then, with the help of his “Z ” teammates, he came back among the leaders to finish in the pack and not lose any time.

But that doesn’tbode well when the Tour hits the real mountains. There are two tough climbs on Friday. Then bn Sunday is the killer climb to 1 ’ Alpe d’Huez with

three mountains rated “out o f cat­egory” on a scale of steepness and difficulty.

Lemond stayed 4:27 behind and moved to fourth but it w asn’t en­couraging. He is still three m in­utes behind Indurain.

The others saw LeM ond strug­gling and wanted to take advan­tage o f it. “When I saw LeMond let go of us, I spoke w ith Gianni Bugno and we said we had to try something,” Laurent Fignon said. “I wanted to do something today. I feel in great shape.”

Fignon won the 11th stage of the Tour, the last leg before the only r6 st day of this year’s race. He broke away from the pack about 60 kilometers (36 miles) from the end of the 249.5-kilome- ter (155-mile) stage.

I t was the ninth stage win for Fignon, w ho has had ups and downs since winning the Tour in 1983 and 1984. Twice since then he had to drop out of the Tour. He moved to an Italian team this year after being France’s hope for a number o f years but never fulfill­ing i t after 1984.

He also has an eye to move up from his 1 0 th place.

“I think with Bugno we still have a chance to win the Tour,” F ignon said . “ I t seem s th a t Indurain is beatable but we have to verify iL ”

STELLA WILDER

Y O U R B IR T H D A YBy Stella WilderBom today, you are so supremely

self-sufficient that you rarely if ever have to go to others for any kind of useful information. However, this does not mean you will be content isolating yourself from others; on the contrary,you thriveon interaction with others - but your brand of socializing has more to do with an equal give-and- take than with reaping all the benefits you can. You value people more as friends that as personal resources, and you will never take advantage of oth­ers.

You are highly imaginative and usually able to solve evert the most complex problems inyour own unique fashion. You tend to be something of a pleasure-seeker, however, and give more thought to on-the-spot enjoy­ment than to career advancement or other more mundane concerns.

Also bom on this date are: Dick Button, figure skating champion and commentator, James Cagney, actor; Lucia Amaz, actress.

To see what is in store for you

tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SATURDAY, July 18CANCER (June 21-July 22) -

Y ou ’11 have to act fast to reverse anew trend begun by a rival. It’s time, too, to settle this contest once and for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You are in need of a little more information before you take action you cannot undo at a later date.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-SepL 22) - Your confidence is once more on the rise, thanks to a friend who knew just ex­actly what you needed to hear.

LIBRA (Sept 23-O c t 22) - Give no one the opportunity to criticize you outright today, and you will be rela­tively safe from emotional upset.

SCORPIO (O ct 23-Nov.21) - You need to put your feet back on the ground at this time. Dreams are fine- but awareness of reality is also neces­sary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)- Yes, no and maybe aren’t all you are, going to hear today.: Someone’s bound

to offer more of an opinion.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)-

Take your time today and you’ll come to a great appreciation of your own particular situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) · That which suited you just fine yester­day may not be good enough for you today. Your taste is changing rapidly right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - How many reasons do you really need to hear before you decide to change your ways and streamline your daily life?

ARIES (March21-April 19) -Fun and games will surely result in a greater appreciation of those around you to­day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -You needn’t be shy about expressing your needs today. That which you conceal will never be truly useful to you.

GEMINI(May21-June20)-You’rein need of a little more guidance today than you are used to receiving free of charge - but it will come your way.

Agassi, McEnroe lose in WashingtonWASHINGTON (AP) - Wimbledon champion Andre Agassi and his semifinal oppo­nent, John McEnroe, were defeated by players ranked 92nd and 95 th in the world Wednesday night in the second round of the NationsBank Oassic. The sec­ond-seeded Agassi, who had not dropped a set as two-time de­fending champion here, lost to Kevin Curren 7-5, 6-4, while McEnroe was beaten by Britain’s Jeremy Bates 6-2,1-6,6-4.

“McEnroe has been one of the people I’ve looked up to since I was very young. It was a dream to play him. To play him and beat him is one of the high points of my life,” said the 30-year-old Bates.

The fifth-seeded McEnroe has played four times in Washington over the past 15 years, and has never advanced past the third round.

“I think the streak is going to be intact for my whole career,” he said. “Idon’tknowifl’ll be back. Not with any malice toward the toumament.”He said the chances of his return “are slim to none.”

By STEVE WILSTEIN

GULL ANE, Scotland (AP) - Jack Nicklaus is home again at Muirfield, back where, he w o t thefirstofhis three British Opens, back where he learned to love seaside golf, submit to the wild winds and tame his game. He returns for the start of the 121st British Open Thursday atacross- roads in history for golf, himself and the course whose name he borrowed for his own creation, Muirfield Village, Ohio.

On the centennial of Muirfield’s first Open and golf s first 7 2-hole tournament, at a time when the game has many brilliant young stars but no true superstars like Nicklaus, he’ll be making per­haps his last, memory-filled march over a course that has meant so much to him and the sport.

He’s back, at 52, a mere 100-1 longshot with the legal bookies, and even that might be generous, considering the inconsistency of his game on the Seniors Tour.

Nick Faldo, 7-1, is the bettors’ man. Colin Montgon. jrie is the Scots’ favorite. Tom Kite, com- ingoffaU.S.Openchampion:h:p, may be the thinking man’s choice on a course that demands a cere­

McEnroe led 3-1 in the final set.

“He hit the shots, but losing my composure was a big mistake,” said McEnroe, who was visibly upset over a line call when serv­ing at 4-3 in the third set.

“I felt I should have w o t , re­gardless of the calls. He came up with big shots, but my mistake was showing him that I was a little uptight” “I got a little disturbed with a couple of long- ish delays in the third, but other than that it didn’t bother me,” Bates said.

McEnroe and Agassi were not the only seeded players to have a rough time. Top-seeded Petr Korda fought off an upset bid to win in three sets, while No. 4 Aaron Krickstein fell in three sets.

Korda, a finalist here last year and currently ranked fifth in the world, dropped the first set to Jimmy Brown before rallying for 4-6,6-2,6-3 victory on a stadium court where temperatures reached 107 degrees Fahrenheit (42 Cel­sius).

“I was dizzy on the court, but I tried to push myself to survive,”

said Korda, a 24-year-old Czechoslovak.

“I had been playing so slow (in the first set). Then I made him run and he was tired at the end. I got back to my game, hit some good shots, and everything started to work.

“I feel OK, but I need to go somewhere, close the doors, and work on my game. I need two weeks of hard practice,” Korda said.

Krickstein was upset by Guillaume Raoux 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. Krickstein’s problem wasn’t lack of practice, but lack of matches. He hadn’t played in a tournament since the French Open in May.

“I felt fine physically, but it’s always tough to come back after a long layoff. In a few weeks I’ll be playing a lot better,” he said.

Ivan Lendl, the third seed, had no problem getting past Jared Palmer 6-4, 6-1.

“It wasn’t as hot as I thought it would be,” said Lendl, who fol­lowed Korda onto the stadium court. “It was much warmer around 12 o’clock.” Lendl had not played since an early exit at Wimbledon.

re tu rn s tobral game.

Long John Daly already has spectators gawking at his Killer Whale drives, which led the club to build up the fence by 18 feet on the driving range and move back the tee 25 yards.

Ian Woosnam and Fred Couples, each capable of mus­cling drives over the fairway bunkers and playing with enough finesse and poise to win majors, are among the elite given a good chance of winning by their peers. And no one can count out such familiar names as Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros, five-time winner Tom Watson, or defend­ing champion Ian Baker-Finch.

“I think that somebody who wants to win this golf tournament must play the golf course intelli­gently,” said Nicklaus, who has played five of his 30 British Opens at Muirfield and starts Thursday with Woosnam and Chip Beck:

‘ This is a golf course that re­quires a great deal of restraint. If you’re going to stand out there and try to drive it over all the bunkers and keep challenging the bunkers, you’re going to end up in a Tot of them. You ’ve really got to use your head to play this golf course.”

It was here in 1966 when

Nicklaus harnessed all his skill, strength and concentration to produce a victory that marked his maturity as a professional.

“I learned how to control my golf game,” he said Wednesday, “how to control my emotions as relating to playing over here, playing a golf course that was not set up around my game, one that I had to totally adjust my golf game to fit.”

He noted that the course is not especially fast right now, as it has been in the past, and the rough is shorter than usual, though more than at most of the other British Open courses.

“I keep coming back to Muirfield expecting not to be able to see my shoes all week,” he said ‘

‘It’s certainly not like it was in ’66.1 remember the 10th hole in one of the practice rounds then. One of the guys set down his bag to find his golf ball and couldn’t find his bag. You laugh, but it’s the truth. It took him five minutes to find it.”

Betting and national pride aside, it is Nicklaus who tugs at the hearts of Muirfield club members.

“Jack Nicklaus means a lot to Muirfield,” said club secretary

John Prideaux. “And of course he paid the ultimate accolade of naming the first course that he was responsible for, Muirfield Village, and not only that but implementing the designs he picked up here with his own golf course. When the top man in golf over the last half a century does that you cannot fail but to be very grateful to him and to be thankful to him.

“I just hope, and I’m sure many of our members hope, that he gets through to the four rounds. I think it would be a dreadful anticlimax if he was to go out at the halfway stretch. It would be terrible, and I think not deserved.” Muirfield members recall the stout and strong 19-year-old whocame here in 1959 to play for the Walker Cup, wound up on the 15th tee and drove through the green nearly 400 yards away.

They remember the Nicklaus who came back seven years later and won the Open with a 5-iron shot on the 71st hole that left weekend golfers gasping. Nicklaus trailed two shots behind Phil Rogers after three rounds, and on the final day Welshman Dave Thomas was the leader in the clubhouse with a *283. Nicklaus,. playing behind him, came to the 17th needing a birdie and par to win.
