hats. Political parties seem to have a half­life of months, alliances are constantly shift­ing.

People like Gaidar and Zhirinovsky don'tscore much better in the polls these daysthan Yeltsin. And Yeltsin's ratings hover inthe single digits now, suggesting he mightbe un-electable,

If you believe the polls, it seems as thoughYeltsin's most likely successors are un­knowns, or yet to emerge. Russians seemfed up with politics and politicians acrossthe board.

Despite this political malaise, a lot ofpeople are jockeying for position ahead of .the December parliamentary elections andthe 1996 presidential race.

According to the White House, Clintonwill meet with a "broad spectrum" of politi­cal leaders - excluding those from the farright and the far left - on May II, the finalday of his three-day visit.

That rules out two of the announcedcandidates for the 1996 race: Zhirinovskyand ex-vice president Alexander Rutskoi,who led the armed hard-liners Yeltsin dis­lodged from parliament in 1993 with tanksand troops.

In fact, the man Clinton might be advised '~:

to cultivate is a gray bureaucrat he already \knows: Prime Minister ViktorChernomyrdin.

So far untainted by the rough-and­tumble of electoral politics, Chernomyrdinhas been persuaded to organize what theKremlin hopes will emerge as half of amoderate, two-party system of some sort.

The 56-year-old prime minister, a prag­matic centrist seen by many as a possiblesuccessor, will lead theas-yet-unnamed left ofcenter party. Ivan Rybkin, the equally prag­matic and equally colorless speaker of theState Duma, the lower house of parliament,will lead the right of center bloc.

Such a heavy-handed attempt at politicalengineering could provoke a new round ofquestions about Yeltsin' s democratic instincts.But Yeltsin has been frank about the goal:Freeze out "extremists" and "petty politicians."

Too many parties, he complained in a re­cent interview, are "fighting for voters, creat- .'ing such a political hullabaloo that it's diffi- I'cult to get things done." ~:"j

Bill-Boris show seekssupporting slayersBy CANDICE HUGHES

MOSCOW (AP) • Remember the "Billand Boris Show?" Forget it. Thosechummy summits are a thing of the past.Now the talk is of a "pragmatic" partner­ship - or even a "Cold Peace."

Differences over Iran, Chechnya andNATO, and Western concerns aboutPresident Boris Yeltsin' s political futurehave the Clinton administration castingabout for new friends in Moscow.

It may not quite be divorce for Borisand Bill, who seem to have a genuinepersonal rapport. But the honeymoon isdefinitely over.

"We don't support him as an indi­vidual." Vice President Al Gore said ofYeltsin shortly after the Russian presi­dent began the war against separatistChechnya. "We support him as the demo­cratically elected president of a countrythat has chosen to travel the path of de­mocracy and free markets."

U.S. goals are "independent ofYeltsin,"Secretary of State Warren Christophersaid to critics who called U.S. policy"Yeltsin-centric."

President Bill Clinton will meet with awide range of people during his May 9-11trip to Moscow, Christopher promised."We will deal with Russia as a pluralisticsociety."

The last time Clinton was in town, inJanuary 1994, there was a crowd of peopleto meet and greet at a U.S. embassy cock­tail party.

At one end of the spectrum were thereformers, people like former prime min­ister Yegor Gaidar, former finance min­ister Boris Fyodorov or economistGrigory Yavlinsky. Equally fluent in capi­talism and English, they were the high­profile darlings of the West.

At the other end, were people like theflamboyant ultranationalist VladimirZhirinovsky. The auburn-haired bad boyof Russian politics wasn't invited to theClinton reception ("He should stay homeand play his saxophone," Zhirinovskysnapped after the snub), but representa­tives of his party were.

Departmentof Public Safety In­formation Officer Cathy Sheuhowever said no one was injuredin the Afetnas fire which was re­ported Saturday at 2:08 p.m.

The house was extensivelydamaged as a result of the fire,Sheu told reporters in yesterday's

FireCNMI's social, economic, andpolitical institutions, report said.

In making its long-term rec­ommendations, the Administra­tion report said because there iscontinuing resistance to the re­form efforts by CNMI interestswhich benefit from the statusquo, federal oversight and in­tervention will be needed intothe foreseeable future.

The major long-term recom­mendations are:

*Federalizing MinimumWage: Enactment of federal

'!

law incorporating the current •CNMI minimum wage, and pro- :f~viding for $.30 annual increases ;;]until the CNMI minimum wagematches the federal minimum r. '.

wage.*Phase Out 702 Funding: En­

act federal law to phase out theamount of federal financial as­sistance provided the islandsunder the CNMI Covenant.Currently, that amounts to $27.7million annually.

*Annual Reports on ReformEfforts: Enact federal law re­quiring annual reports to theCongress on the progress of ef­forts to resolve the CNMI prob­lems.

"'possible Imposition of INA ;in CNMI: If CNMI immigra- i'tion and labor law enforcement "remains deficient and non U.S.citizen contract workers exceed1992 levels, then the INS, in \conjunction with Interior, Jus­tice, Labor and the CNMI shalldevelop legislation to phase outthe number of non-U.S. citizencontract workers in the CNMIand phase in full application ofthe Immigration and National-ity Act for the CNMI.

The report also calls for es­tablishing a $3 million contin­gency fund from the Section 702funds paid to the CNMl for eachyear through 200 I. This fundwould be used to support ef­forts to resolve these problems,incl uding, if necessary, the con­struction of detention facilitiesand the costs of applying theImmigration and NationalityAct to the CNMI. \

"We believ that the short-terminitiatives, of the Administra­tion and the CNMI, whencoupled with the implementa­tion of our long-term recom­mendations, will address thecauses of the CNMI's immigra­tion and labor problems," saidStayman.

"I have made every effort to "reform this newly formed depart- 'ment," Cing told the governor. "Ihave always been loyal to you inthe community and I always willbe. I appreciate all that you havedone for me."

gress, and several ExecutiveBranch agencies have led to thedevelopment of a comprehen­sive plan to responsibly addressthe CNMI's problems.

He said the plan will result ina significant increase in the fed­eral presence in the CNMI toprovide training and tostrengthen the enforcement oflocal and federal laws.

Stayman noted that althoughGovernor Froilan Tenorio hadencouraged and welcomed aheightened federal effort, thelatter has been unable to obtainlegislative support on a numberoflabor, immigration, minimumwage and tax reform intiativesto address the problems effec­tively.

He said despite the sincereefforts of some CNMI leadersto deal with the issues locally,there are those who benefit fromthe status quo who resist localreforms.

"Because of the uncertantyarising from this situation, webelieve that the need for federaloversight and intervention willcontinue into the foreseeablefuture," said Stayman.

:'We have a long way to goand many difficult decisionsahead, but if CNMI and federalofficials remain focused on theircommon goal and can continueto work closely together, we cansol ve these problems withoutfurther federal intervention orreduced autonomy for theCNMI."

The report noted that morethan 50 percent of the CNMI'spopulation of 57,238 are non­residents.

Sixty percent of those regis­tered aliens are from the Philip­pines, 27 percent are Chinesenationals, and the remainder areKoreans, Japanese, and othernationalities.

CNMI control of immigration,a low minimum wage, inad­equate CNMI labor laws, andlax enforcement of existing im­migration and labor regulationshave allowed alien laborers tobe subjected to discrimination,exploitation, and abuse, the re­port states.

This large immigrant laborpopulation, in turn, is having asignificant adverse on the

But Nichols, an Army friend ofMcVeigh's, bears little resem­blance to an FBI sketch compiledfrom a witness account.

Nichols is being held in Kansasas a material witness, and is to bebrought to Oklahoma to testifyat agrand jury hearing this week forMcVeigh, the only personchargedso far in the bombing that killed167 people.

Newsweek also reported that sixweeks before the Oklahoma Citybombing, the FBI sent a directiveto its 57 field offices telling agentsto begin gathering intelligence onright-wing militia groups.

Israel used some of the Germanmoney for unspecified other pur­poses.

The court gave the Finance Min­istry 30 days to respond.

A top government official, whospoke on condition of anonymity,said the petition's claim was trueand the disparity resulted fromdifferent methods of calculatingamounts due the two groups.

Exact figures were not immedi­ately availableon thevarious repara­tion payments, which generallyamount to the equivalent of severalhundred dollars a month.

The Globes financial daily saidthat in some cases the direct Ger­man payment was four timesgreater than Israel's. It estimatedsome dlrs 20 million annuallywere needed to bridge the gap forthe roughly 20,000 living survi­vors who arrived before 1953.

Six million Jews were slaugh­teredby the NazisduringWorldWarII.

As of January 1995, Germany hadpaid nearly dIrs70 billionin repara­tions to victims of Nazism,the vastmajorityJews. But no further break­down wasimmediatelyavailable.

The United States also takesmuch risk in permitting a lowerdollar. Besides alienating Japanand other trading partners, itcouldlead to higher inflation in theUnited States and undermine for­eign investor confidence, whichis critical to to smooth function­ing of the American economy.

The dollar's further deprecia­tion isn't a certainty. Stephansensaid trade sanctions actuallycouldtake some pressure off the dollarif they're seen as another effec­tive weapon to combat Japan'schronic trade surpluses with theUnited States, which reached dlrs66 billion last year.

Automobiles and parts accountfor the bulk of the trade surplus,so the talks on that dimension ofthe imbalance were widely viewedas a pivotal event in the U.S.­Japanese economic relationship.

In Washington Sunday, theadministration's economic teamworked to assemble a list of pro­posed sanctions, which were saidto initially target more than dlrs Ibillion in Japanese goods.

The dollar had traded as low as79.75 yen in mid-April butstrengthened after the rich indus­trialized nations proclaimed theirwish to halt the dollar's relentlesserosion.

By JOSHUA ROLNICKJERUSALEM (AP) - Hundredsof Holocaust survivors, somebearing six-pointed yellow, clothstars like those the Nazis forcedJews to wear, jammed the Su­preme Court Sunday to demandmore compensation for their suf­fering during World War II.

They came to support a peti­tion filed by right-wing legislatorAvraham Herschenson, whoclaims existing regulations dis­criminate against survi vors whoarrived in Israel in its early years.

In September 1952, Israel andGermany reached an agreementwhereby Bonn would pay repara­tions to Holocaust survivors liv­ing outside Israel and to thosewho immigrated to the Jewishstate beginning the following year.

Germany also agreed to giveIsrael 3.45billiondeutsche marksto be passed on to Holocaust sur­vivors already in Israel. But thisgroup recei ved smaller sums, saidHerschenson, who is Israeli-born.

"The state has robbed Holo­caust survivors," said right-winglawmaker Dov Shilansky, a Ho­locaust survivor. He added that

trading in a range of between 83and 84 yen for about two weeks,its first period of relative calm allyear and a partial reflection ofoptimism that Japan and theUnited States would find a com­promise on the auto trade issue.

The collapse of auto talks, how­ever, could convince traders thattheir positive thinking about thecurrency was overdone. AlthoughClinton has publicly expressedsupport for a strong dollar, theheightened acrimony with Japangives him a new reason to let thecurrency fall.

"If the dollar reacts negativelyto failed trade talks it's because offears the Clinton administrationwill talk down the dollar again,"said Kathleen Stephansen, a se­nior economist at Donaldson.Lufkin and Jenrette SecuritiesCorp.

A weak dollar punishes Japa­nese exporters by making theirproducts more expensive in theUnited States and translating intopunier profits when repatriated inyen.

The Clinton administration re­sponded to the collapse of tradetalks by threatening to imposesanctions on a range of Japanesegoods shipped to the UnitedStates, which could effectivelymake them so expensive theycouldn't be sold.
