Court to resolve Senate case today

By Gaynor L. Dumat-ol

THE SUPERIOR Court yester­day reaffirmed its declaration that Joseph S. Inos was still the president of the Senate, despite a session called by six senators Wednesday afternoon which “re­elected” Juan S. Demapan to the hotly contested seat

“The court order still remains,” Presiding Judge Pedro Atalig said during yesterday )s hearing where only counsels of the two «con­tenders showed up.

Inos’ counsel Timothy Bellas asked Atalig to cite the six sena­tors far contempt, saying their action (Wednesday’s session) was a defiance of the preliminary in- junctionissuedonTuesdayby the

presiding judge.“It is our position that the ses­

sion is in violation of the court order,” Bellas told reporters after the hearing.

Atalig is expected to finally decide during the continuation of the hearing this afternoon who between Inos and Demapan is legally entitled to occupy the Senate presidency.

If Demapan loses, he and the five other senators who joined the session and voted for him last W ednesday— Francisco M. Borja, Paul A. Manglona, Jesus R. Sablan, David M. Cing and Juan U. Maratita— face contempt of court charges.

W Q rld A ffairsNew struggle pits North vs South

By Kenneth L. Whiting

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) Leaders o f the Non-Aligned Movement declared Wednesday that the East vs. West political fight of the Cold War era has been replaced by a North vs. South eco­nomic struggle.

Government officials agreed at the second day of the movement’s summit meeting that the Third World gets a raw deal from in­dustrialized nations.

“The present economic system, as we all agree, turns us into eco­nomic slaves of the rich and de­veloped North,” said Zimbabwe President Robert G. Mugabe.

No-fly zone’s silence worries fighter pilots

By EDrTH M. LED ERER

ON BOARD THE USS IN­DEPENDENCE (AP) - tJS Navy fig h ter p ilo ts said Wednesday it has been so quiet over southern Iraq for the past' week that they’re worried about losing the critical edge if an Iraqi warplane suddenly chal­lenges the no-fly zone.

“Rightnow, w e’re just trying to make sure we don’t get blindsided out th e re " said Cmdr. Steve Firks, 40t“It’s not really boredom. I t’s perhaps complacency. It’s difficult to really maintain your edge for the length of time that we’re spending up there.”

Firks and his fellow fighter pilots train for three-minute serial dogfights with action ev­ery two or three seconds - not f iv e -h o u r m issions where nothing happens.

But that is what they have confronted since the US-led allies banned Iraqi flights south of the 32nd parallel to protect rebel Shiite Muslims.

“I t’s just real quiet,” said Firks, who commands an F/A- 18 H ornet figh ter-bom ber squadron that has been flying over southern Iraq. “I t’s quiet on the radios. I t’s quiet on the radars.”

“I ’ve had four missions in Iraq during Southern W atch and I have not made contact at all (with an Iraqi plane.) If there had been some contacts that would certainly make life more interesting,” he said.

But Firks conceded that “not being shot at is much nicer than being shot, even though they’re longer missions.”

“Maintaining concentration is more an ipsue. The air-to-air fighter game is one that takes a lot of concentration and disci­pline, I t’s not ,a ‘Top Gun’ movie,” Firks said. “We have to be ready to put the right kind of three minutes in when it’s called for.” ______________ '

Although his country is enjoy­ing an economic boom, Malay­sian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said that “any attempt at budding a New World Order must also address the increasing inequity in the international eco­nomic system which has resulted in a widening gap between the rich nations of the North and the poor in the South.”

Protectionism and subsidies by developed nations results in de­veloping countries losing $500 billion a year, ten times more than the foreign aid sent to developing countries, Mahathir said.. Iranian President Ali Akbar

Hashemi Rafsanjani said that “if

the existing international eco­nomic situation and the ever-wid­ening gap between the North and the South persist, the world will inevitably face a more serious crisis and recession.

“Without a developed South, the North cannot, maintain its economic boom forever,” he said.

President Ali Hassan Mwinyi of Tanzania said that “while the tension between East and West has eased, the economic gap be­tween the North and the South is getting wider because of the ex­isting inequitable world economic system.

“As a result of the unbalanced world trade system, the terms of

trade of many developing coun­tries are perpetually unfavorable and deteriorating,” he said.

Prime M inister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan, chair­man of the Group of 77 develop­ing countries, described “gross injustice in the global economy which continues to impede our efforts for economic develop­ment.”

The misnumbered G-77 is a loose association of more than 130 nations that represents the T h ird W orld at the UN.Conference on Trade and Development and other world forums.

Egypt suggested that since the

Non-Aligned Movement is' be­coming increasingly preoccupied with economic issues it merge with G-77.

President Suharto of Indone­sia, which has assumed leader­ship of the niovement for three years, wants it to focus ort pro­grams to strengthen the econo­mies of its 108 member states, while still dealing with political issues.

Calling the split between the rich North and the poor South the central unresolved issue of our time, Suharto wants a new con­sensus between the two based on mutual self-interest.

Japan, Russia fail to resolve Kuril disputeBy Brian Friedman

MOSCOW (AP) - President Boris Yeltsin and Japan’s foreign min­ister failed Wednesday to make any progress toward settling the two nations ’ dispute over the Kuril Islands, a presidential spokesman said.

Following a 3 5-minute meeting with Foreign Minister Michio Watanabe, Yeltsin spokesman Vyacheslav Kostikov said the Russian leader did not hear any new proposals from the Japanese side, and did not make any of his own.

Yeltsinalso indicated that Japan was applying “economic, politi­cal, social and even psychologi­cal” pressure on Russia to sur­

render the islands, Kostikov said.Japan has refused to supply aid

tQ Russia or make any major in­vestments because of the dispute over the four islands, which To­kyo calls its Northern Territories.

Yeltsin is to travel to Tokyo on Sept. 13-16 to try to resolve the dispute, which has prevented the two nations from signing a peace treaty formally ending World War n . Tlie Soviet Red Army seized and occupied the islands at the end of the war.

H eading into the Krem lin meeting with Watanabe, Yeltsin told photographers the time was not right for Russia to surrender the islands to Japan.

He asked them if he should give the islands to Japan, and when

several replied no, Yeltsin said: “I think so, too. Right now, it’s not the kind of political situation to resolve that question.” .

Russian nationalists and con­servative lawmakers are pressur­ing Yeltsin not to give the islands away. Such an action, they say, would deprive Russia of an im­portant radar post and rich fishing grounds, andwould set a precedent that could encourage territorial claims by other nations, including the Baltic states and China.

After the session, Kostikov quoted Yeltsin as saying that Japan’s position toward the islands in the past year “has only com­plicated the situation ... and has heated up public opinion both in Russia and Japan.”

Serbs place heavy gunsunder UN supervisionSARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) - Bosnian Serb commander Radovan Karadzic agreed Wednesday to place heavy weapons in Sarajevo under United Nations supervision, a UN offi­cial said.

Fred Eckhard, the UN spokes­man in Sarajevo, said UN moni­tors would set up 11 collection points for the weapons around the city Wednesday. .

But shells continued to fall on the war-ravaged capital.

Bosnian government officials said Serb fighters also had begun withdrawing from Gorazde after a 3 1/2-month siege, but one Bosnian commander said: “The war here is not over.”

Eckhard said Karadzic con­cluded discussions Wednesday with UN military officers on “the practical terms of putting the Serbian guns under our supervi­sion.”

Eckhard said all mortars 82 mm and larger, all tanks with guns and all artillery pieces 100 mm or

' larger were covered by the agree­ment. He said military observers would go to the collection points

Thursday or Friday. Karadzic signed the basic agreement late Tuesday withCol. ArmelDavout, deputy UN commander, at Serbian headquarters In Pale, east of Sarajevo. The Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA claimed the accord w ould put under UN.supervision all heavy artil­lery in Sarajevo, the central town of Jajce and the northwestern town of Bihac.

Karadzic said he hoped gov­ernment forces also would put their Sarajevo artillery under UN supervision. Marrack Goulding, the UN’s top peacekeeping offi­cial, was expected Thursday in Sarajevo to start the concentra­tion of weapons.

Karadzic said, however, that if government forces “continue at­tacking us and razing our homes,

•either the UN or we will inter­vene.”

He said after last week’s Lon­don peace conference that he would order his forces to withdraw from Gorazde, and Bosnian offi­cials on Wednesday confirmed that Serbian fighters had pulled back. The city is the last govern­

ment holdout in eastern Bosnia, where tens of thousands of refu­gees have been besieged by Serb militias.

But M ustafa Hajrulahovic, commander of government forces in Sarajevo, said Wednesday that Gorazde’s defenders took advan­tage of the withdrawal to break out and drive the Serbs out of the surrounding area.

“They made a mistake: They’ve been mortaring the city for months and they withdraw and expect us to do nothing,” he said. “H ie war here is not o v e r.” Izumi Nakamitsu, the chief of operations for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, postponed an aid convoy to Gorazde because Serb militias accused the agency of running weapons in a previous convoy.

“O f course this is not the case,” said Nakamitsu. “UNHCR is not in the business of arms smuggling. We are trying to save lives.”

Shells from 155 mm mortars peppered downtown Sarajevo Wednesday.

.In the western suburbs, Mus­lim-led defenders are waging a

“Russia and the president of Russia cannot settle this problem underpressure applied by Japan- economic, political and social, and even psycho log ica l,” Kostikov quoted Yeltsin as say­ing.

Yeltsin “in principle did not hear any new proposals from the Japanese foreign m inister,” Kostikov said, according to the Interfax news agency.

After meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev on Tuesday, Watanabe said he was making good progress in re­solving the territorial dispute. But Kostikov said the two men had encountered difficulties at their talks.

Cambodia releases 70 prisoners

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - The Vietnamese-installed gov­ernment on Wednesday released 70 prisoners who had been held for long periods without trial.

A government commission es­tablished to review the cases de­termined there was not enough evidence to bring them to trial, said Dennis McNamara, w ho heads the human rights section of the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia. The commission was created in response to concerns raised by McNamara’s office.

The prisoners appeared con­fused as they squatted in the cen­tral courtyard of Phnom Penh’s decaying T-3 prison, each hold­ing a plastic bag containing a farewell gift of an outfit and a pair of slippers.

“They recognized!their faults and they have been educated. So right now we have decided to release them,” said Top Chhon, the deputy commissioner for po­lice.

House to resume oversight hearing on CUC finances

By Rafael Arroyo

THE HOUSE Com mittee on Public Utilities, Transportation and Communication will resume its oversighthearing on the finan­cial management o f Common­wealth Utilities Corporation on Sept. 21, Chairman Heinz S. Hofschneider said yesterday.

“We’refinishing our reports and we have to ascertain the validity of the information we have lately gathered and give them (CUC) a chance to respond to whatever find ings we h av e ,” said Hofschneider in an interview.

The committee suspended more than a month ago the two over­sight hearings it conducted. This time, it would focus on contracts and procurements as well as dis­bursements to vendors.

According to Hofschneider, he would ask CUC “Officials about the alleged $99 million in dis­bursements covering January 1990 to May 1992 and if proce­dures were followed in the re­lease of such fund.

“This is not a question of how big the amount was. What I am concerned of is, if they can dis­burse $99 million, why the un- paid liabilities to vendors thatneed im m ediate paym en ts?” said Hofschneider.

Mitsubishi Corp. earlier, com­plained of CUC’s failure to pay $21 million worth of generators.

CUC’s Mitsubishi debt is di­vided into two parts — the US dollar portion, which amounts to $5.9 million and the $2.1-billion yen (US$15 million) loan.

According to Hofschneider, CUC was supposed to start pay­ing in May 1990 for the $5.9- million debt.

Inform ation gathered by Hofschneider indicates that the $5.9-million debt should have been paid by September 1991, including interest.

“From all indications, CUC hasn ’ t paid anything as per sched-

ule, until Aug. 20 when a $2- million payment was made,” said Hofschneider.

He also said that by failing to pall all its ob ligations to Mitsubishi, CUC allegedly accu­mulated $339,521 in interest.

“We in the committee intend to verify all these information about CUC with the ultimate goal of finding a more responsible finan­cial management for the firm,” he said.

H ofschneider and House Speaker Thomas P. Villagomez aired their concern over the $2- million payment to Mitsubishi because it allegedly came from the general fund and not from CUC revenues.

Villagomez wrote Governor Lorenzo I. DL. Guerrero remind­ing him that the Seventh Legisla­ture approved the contingent li­ability for CUC due to the assur­ances of CUC Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero that payment for this liability would be from its revenue collection.

“May we ask why you have de­cided tomeetCUC’sliabilities with Mitsubishi using money from the general fund? May we be appraised where exactly did the $2 million come from and why we have been kept out of this undertaking?” the speaker asked the governor.

Hofschneider said the inability of CUC to pay Mitsubishi has strengthened the com m ittee’s findings of gross financial mis­management in the previous over­sight hearings.

He also said there might have been a violation in the disburse­ment of the $2 million if the money was taken from the general fund because only the legislature is al­lowed to make such appropriation under the Constitution.

“An automatic bailout through legislation as in Public Laws 6-14 and 7-28, strengthens our assump­tion that CUC tends to continue abusing its financial resources,” Hofschneider said.

Witness gets death threat from youth

By Gaynor L. Dumat-ol

A YOUNG man turned govern­ment witness against two other young men who were his alleged cohorts in a series of theft and burg lary incidents in the Koblerville area, reported to the police that a male juvenile had threatened to kill him.

Police Chief Antonio Reyes said Melvin Basa, 20, co-accused in a theft and burglary case, said the juvenile threatened to shoot Basa somewhere inChalanKanoa District4 at 10:07 am. Wednesday.

When questioned, however, the juvenile filed a counter complaint against Basa, claiming it was Basa who drove by his house and fired a gun at the juvenile.

No injury was reported. The

sketchy police report also did not indicate what type of gun was used in the alleged shooting inci­dent.

The theft and robbery charges filed against Basa earlier were dropped by government prosecu­tors after he provided informa­tion on the activities of his group which also includes of John Basa and Pedro Ayuyu, 19.

Assistant Attorney General Cheryl M. Gill said earlier that the young men were responsible for the theft mostly of television sets and VCRs, from houses in Koblerville.

The appliances were then sold to alien workers.

Ayiiyu was recently sentenced to a five-year jail term and John Basa to seven years.

They came and sent assistance without being"asked and without expecting anything in return, and the people of the CNMI were grateful for that.

This time disaster struck Guam and spared the Commonwealth. Now is the time for us to lend a hand to our neighbors who had been good to us during our time of need.

The government has started preparations for as­sistance but this should be a community-wide effort. The local chapter of the American Red Cross is currently raising funds to finance a relief work in Guam.

Not all of us have to, or could go to Guam but all of us can do our share. The Red Cross is the best way to help our neighbors in need. Let’s give to the Red Cross and make it a more sincere way of expressing our sympathies as well as our gratefulness for what they did for us in 1986.

A tale of nine brothersONCE upon a time there were nine children, all boys. -They had no visible parents and they were always quarrelling, very visibly.Actually, they were bright kids and were respected in the community. They had even helped in putting up a system of laws to maintain order in society and they worked to develop the community’s resources for the benefit of all the people.

Unfortunately, their ability to contribute to the well­being of the community had not been enough, or was not utilized, to maintain order within their own group.

One day the brothers’ dispute became so serious that they themselves could no longer do their tasks properly. The fragile leadership structure collapsed and divided the brothers into factions, all claiming authority over the whole group.

Now, the brothers, brilliant though they are, are in need of a parent to tell them what to do, how to go back to the proper performance of their tasks.

The brothers will be at the Superior Court today. See ya.

Iraqgate strips the Teflon from BushBy Jack anderson and Michael Binstein

WASHINGTON - The White House is hunkering down on two separate fronts for war over Iraq during this fall’s election: one in Baghad concerning weapons in­spections, the other in Washing­ton involving the mushrooming “Iraqgate” scandal.

The latestlraqgate battle started when the Bush administration rejected the House Judiciary Committee’srequestfor a special p rosecu to r to probe the administration’s “ tilt” toward Baghdad starting in the mid-1980s at the height of the Iran-Iraq war, and continuing until the eve of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait two years ago this month.

House Banking Committee Chairman Henry Gonzales, D-

Texas, is set to conduct a new round of hearings in connection with his ongoing investigation into Iraqgate. Last week Gonzales issued “the fist of many” sub­poenas to examine classified Iraqgate documents thathave been withheld up to now by the Justice Department.

“For the first time, the com­mittee is issuing subpoenas for documents from the Justice De­partment, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Na­tional Security A gency ,” Gonzales said. These documents, which the Bush administration has refused to provide, could offer the smoking gun evidence.

From an accolade to an Achil­les ’ heel, President Bush’s han­dling of Iraq is fraught with military as well as political peril. When we asked one hafd-eyed

strategist for Bill Clinton what impact Iraqgate would have on the presidential election, he re­plied:

“I ’m not a real believer in silver bullets, but in terms of bringing down Bush’s positive in foreign policy and scratching off the Teflon on his foreign policy ex­pertise, this is doing th a t”

At this point, the Clinton camp would settle for a draw on the fo re ign policy debate, since they’re counting on routing Re­publicans on domestic affairs. Foreign affairs is any incumbent president’s trump card - particu­larly Bush’s because of Desert Storm. ButifGonzalez’songoing investigation unmasks any crimi­nal wrongdoing stemming from the Bush administration’s pro- Baghdad policies, the Gulf War

WHEN we review the intent of the “Land Alien­ation” provision of the Covenant Agreement, it is very clear that its purpose is to protect the loss of the only prized possession islanders have since the dawn of man in these islands.

Even before the arrival of the first “white man” on these shores, our forefathers have tilled the soil upon which family sustenance were planted and subsequently harvested. While our ancestors have lived and died on the very soil they have worked on during their lifetime, one thing is very clear: the land remains behind for posterity. We too will come along to fulfilling this cycle at some point— pass them on to our siblings.

Indeed, there’s a difference in the land tenure system between Chamorros and Carolinians. While Chamorros have a much more liberal disposition on land, our Carolinian brothers and sisters hold on to their prized possession for it belongs to an entire clan. Chamorros give land they’ve inherited from their parents greater significance for sentimental reasons.

Over the last decade, a good portjon o f family

land were leased out to foreign companies for devel­opment purposes. There are those who have rein­vested their money on real-estate, family business or the education of their children. Of course, there are those too who invested their largess on new cars and other wasteful vices. More power for those who 'have cautiously managed their money.

It is interesting that in the process, lawyers and real-estate brokers from the “land of the free” have pushed Article XQ to the limits of American Juris­prudence. They filled their pockets and have exited the island laying low somewhere to escape the pa­rade of lawsuits which now challenge the legitimacy of their legal services to ignorant investors. They leave behind a mess for us to fix. As though this isn’t enough, some of their type have eve# worked up enough nerves to challenge the constitutionality of the same Covenant provision.

Well, I say good luck and may you find infinite wisdom in the fact that the American Legal System is equally mindful o f the need to protect minority rights especially on matters that are founded in their

victory will lose its remaining luster.

T he R epublican N ational Committee has responded fitfully by invoking “trust” as an issue in foreign affairs, a clear reference to allegations about Clinton’s personal life. The GOP attack dogs are already snarling: Clinton is erratic, he’s in over his head, he was only the governor of a small state and he wouldn’t know how to perform as commander-in- chief.

After initially responding de­fensively, Clinton scored a stun­ning counter punch - with one sound byte - by mentioning the obvious: Ronald Reagan was once a governor, too, and George Bush and James Baker wouldn’t have jobs today without him. It was the Bush and Baker team, they will argue, that coddled the dic­tator whom the President later compared with “Hitler.”

T his coddling w rought Iraqgate, comprised of several scandals within scandals: the de­liberate doctoring.of documents by the Commerce Department regarding exports to Iraq; the deliberate misleading of Congress by U.S. government officials; and adm inistration knowledge or complicity in loans to Iraq in the 1980s by the Atlanta branch of I ta ly ’s B anca N azionale de Lavoro, which may have been diverted by Baghdad to its mili­tary.

Gonzales plans to subpoena the m asterm ind of the BNL-Iraq connection, Christopher Drogoul,

to testify before the congressional committee this fall - setting the stage for some of the most explo­sive testimony to date.

Drogoul pleaded guilty earlier this summer to some 60 counts surrounding the massive bank fraud, but Justice Department officials kept him from testifying publicly on whatUS officials may have known about his activities.

Even if the investigation does not uncover any more details, enough is already known to pro­vide a powerful indictment of the Reagan and Bush administrations. Documents obtained byCongress illustrate that starting three years ago the White House and State Department had full knowledge of Iraqi arms procurement net­works working in Europe and the United States - including ones for nuclear and chemical weapons.

At its core, the question under­lying Iraqgate is: Did the Reagan and Bush administrations violate laws in creating a Middle East monster, and then engage in a cover up after Saddam invaded Kuwait?

As Republicans gird for a new round of congressional probes into Iraqgate, Democrats smell blood - and they may move in for the kill this fall. If they can strip away the trophies bush has won for foreign affairs - and given his administration’s dearth of do­mestic successes - the specter of renewed congressional investi­gations this fall could make Houston a short-livedhoneymoon for Republicans.

peculiar culture. Although we are under the American Flag, de­mocracy permits us to retain w hat’s ours premised on the uniqueness of our cultural tradi­tions, i.e., land. It is unfortunate that Anglo-Saxons see this pro­vision as being unconstitutional and it isn’t surprising that they are the loudest people on this matter. It only confirms the “complaint culture” that they come from.

It is this arrogance— an attitu- dinal problem— that has sent a signal to our people to begin questioning our relationship with the U.S. Well, I am not prepared to succumb to the wishes of the vocal “we few”. And please learn to live like the Romans when in Rome. Lest you forget, we can only take so much after which reason may no longer be part of our vocabulary.

W ell, the land is ours and I am most grateful that there is a U.S. Supreme Court decision which appropriately protect American Indians in basically the same land cases now being litigated in al­most every imaginable court be­tween here and Washington, D.C. More power to all concerns who have been able to understand and appreciate the intent of the Land Alienation provision in the Cov­enant.

The issue on whether we should have a delegate in Congress is now under review by the House Committee on Federal and For­eign Relations. At a public hear­ing this week, it is encouraging to see that our people have ably stated their agreement or dis­agreem ent with whether we should have a voice in the U.S. Congress.

I kind of sense that those who disagree must have had their cup­ful of frustration having to deal with the Department of Interior for the last 20-plus years. Well, learn ing the “W ays o f Washingtion” is vital howsoever your view it. If we have a del­egate in Congress, he/she can fa­cilitate what work needs done with greater efficiency. Well, let’s see what your views are in this regard. It is important that our leaders understand your sentiment in a matter as important as taking an­other leap into a new chapter inour political development.

***If you care to know, the current

status of our Resident Represen­tative in Washington is really one of an elected lobbyist. Do you wish to see this practice continue? Or wouldn’t it be better that we have a delegate representing our islands in the U.S. Congress? Think it about.

Prostitution debate overdueDear Editor:The great Filipino prostitution

debate is long overdue an injection of common sense.

The comment made by Mr. Cesyk was that most commercial sex workers are Filipino, not that most Filipinos are commercial sex workers. A vast difference that is being ignored by Consul Tones. The most charitable view would be that as a non-native English speaker he missed the not-so- subtle distinction.

If the consul is shocked at this revelation he must be the only person on Saipan who is. Most commercial workers of any kind here are Filipino. It would Jbe remarkable if they were under­represented in the sex-worker category, they being no more or

less moral than any other ethnic or national grouping.

The most unsettling role in this situation is that played by Com­merce and Labor Director Jack Torres. I am profoundly disturbed by the sight of an un-elected and powerful official of the CNMI allying himself with a represen­tative of a foreign government to pressure employers and employ­ees to refrain from activity that is perfectly legal in the Common­wealth.

The prospect of a libel suit against Mr. Cesyk is ironic. If anyone in this sad affair has been libelled it is he, and I hope that he seeks legal redress. On the one hand we have a health care pro­fessional, whose job on CHC’s AIDS committee is to be aware of

just such facts as the consul dis­putes, and on the other a diplomat who thinks that the major issue here is salving the wounded col­lective pride of the Filipino community. The fact that a po­tential AIDS reservoir in the CNMI is imported from countries where AIDS education is not a priority escapes him. The fact that this is a matter of great con­cern to all CNMI residents, in­cluding his own countrymen, es­capes him. The fact that the people of the CNMI would rather not have the bearer of this unpleasant news gagged by bogus legal ac­tivity escapes him.

Mr. Cesyk, please continue to tell it like it is.

clarifies Taga storyDear Editor:This is to provide a clarifica­

tion on the article reported in the Marianas Variety of September 1,1992 in regard to CUC’S rental payments to Taga Petroleum. I would like to clarify that there was no official statement that was rendered that denotes the “with­holding” of the rental payments for the fuel storage tank owned by Taga Petroleum. The reported overpayment of Taga Petroleum

has yet tobe discussed and recon­ciled between the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation and Taga Petroleum. CUC does not have the privilege tó apply any dis­crepancy to the rental of the fuel tanks since it was assigned to another entity who has the right on the property not with Taga Petroleum.

I must emphasize that the ef­forts to reconcile this discrepancy is underway and any result will

be address with concurrence of both contracting parties.

I must therefore request you to render this clarification to correct the information presented in youi report of Septembel*!, 1992.

Diana leaving Charles?LONDON (AP)-TheDaily Ex­press in what it tagged an exclu­sive report Wednesday quoted unnamed friends of Princess Diana as saying she will leave Prince Charles in the fall.

The London tabloid said Prince Henry, 7, the youngest son o f Diana and her husband Prince Charles, will join h is brother Prince William, 10, a t a boarding school, this fall.

“Diana will (then) have no immediate family ties to keep her anchored to an increasingly unhappy marriage,” the paper said.

There was no comment from Buckingham Palace. The pal­ace customarily has nothing to say about the stories swirling around the royal couples, but on Monday said that a letter on palace notepaper denigrating Diana is a fake.

A tape o f an intimate tele­phone conversation allegedly between Diana and a m ale friend, James Gilbey, 34, al­ready had raised questions about whether she is the beautiful princess trapped in a loveless marriage to a cold man, as the tabloids had cast her.

The timing of the release of the 2 1/2-year old tape has fu­eled speculation that Charles’

courtiers in the royal household have launched a smear-Diana campaign inadvance of Britain’s separation, or even divorce, of the century.

Unidentifiedfriends o f Charles are quoted in newspapers as say­ing the 43-year-old heir to the British throne would never sanc­tion such attacks. But some tabloids, and others, see official guns trained on Diana.

“The Plot - Princess Diana and the bitter Palacecampaign todis- credit her,” declared B ritain’s Mail on Sunday.

Lynn Barber, a commentator in the Independent, said Sunday: “Now it is Charles’s turn, I pre­dict an absolute avalanche o f Di- damaging material over the next few weeks, followed by an an­nouncement of divorce.”

In the lOdays sincenews o f the tape broke in Britain, more than 90,000 people have telephoned The Sun newspaper to hear it for them selves. A w om an who sounds like Diana describes her marriage as torture.The man tells her, “1 love you, I love you.”

In addition, a spate of reports since the tape have hinted at a romantic link between Diana, 31, and another dashing bachelor, G uards o fficer M aj. Jam es Hewitt, 35,

Hewitt, who in 1989 taught horseback riding to Diana'and her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, has gone into hid­ing.

Amid all thi$, newspapers published a letter on what ap­peared to be Buckingham Pai-« ace notepaper in which an offi­cial is alleged to have described

' Diana as “relishing the martyr role.”

“ It is a fake,” said a Buckingham Palace spokesman, requesting the customary ano­nymity. “Anybody can get hold of a Buckingham Palace letter­head.”

On M onday, D iana le ft Balmoral Castle, where Queen Elizabeth H and her family tra­ditionally gather in August and September for a six-week Scot­tish holiday, to return to Lon­don.

The palace said the return was on schedule.

A w eek ea rlie r, P rince Andrew’s estranged wife, the Duchessof Yoric, returned south to England after a brief stay at Balmoral.

That was dominated by the publication of pictures of her snuggling topless with John Bryan, an American who has said he is her financial adviser.

CRM to conduct w ide-ranging review o f coastal zone planTHE GOVERNMENT, through the Coastal Resources Manage­ment, is a task that promises to be the largest review and update of the Commonwealth’s Coastal Zone Management Plan since its inception in 1980. It will take a lot of work, not only from the staff of CRM Office and the envi­ronmental agencies, but also from people, developers, and industries who “use” the coast; those who wish to protect and preserve it, and people who live near, use, or simply care about the coast. In short, this will be an opportunity for all the people of CNMI to help shape the fu ture o f the Commonwealth’s Coastal Pro­gram, CRM said in a press re­lease.

When the Coastal Zone Man­agement Act was reauthorized in 1990, US Congress stipulated that states and territories develop Assessments and Strategies to address major coastal issues! That requirement is included under

Section 309 of the Act.Section 309 - the Coastal en­

hancem ent Grant Program - mandates that each state or terri­tory accepting federal funding to assist their coastal program per­form a detailed assessment of specified areas of those programs - how significant the issues are in the state, how well are they being addressed, and what possibilities exist for improvement/

The subject areas defined in the law, and to be addressed as they relate to the CNMI’s coast, in­clude:

1) Protection, enhancement or creation of coastal wetlands;

2) Preventing or significantly reducing threats to life and prop­erty 'by controlling coastal de­velopment and redevelopment in hazardous areas, and anticipating and managing the effects of sea- level rise;

3) Attaining increased oppor- * tunities for public access;

4) Reducing marine debris by

managing uses and activities that contribute to marine debris;

5) Development and adoption of procedures to address the cu­mulative and secondary impacts of coastal growth and develop­ment;

6) Preparing and implement­ing special area management plans;

7) Planning for the use of ocean resources; and

8) Adoption of procedures and policies to facilitate the siting of energy and/or federal government facilities or activities which may be greater than local significance.

Using public input and other re­sources,CRM will write an assess­ment of priority needs for im­provement by October 31. Within the two months following comple­tion of the Assessments CRM will develop an implementation strat­egy.

This is a major undertaking and one that needs your assistance, CRM said. We need to know your

thoughts and opinions about these critical issues. To start with, this media bulletin presents a formal public notice to initiate this pro­cess. Shortly, you will find a de­tailed survey schedule - through various convenient outlets - with a brief introduction to each of the issues listed above.

Please take a few minutes (or even more if you care to) and let us knowhow youfeel about the things affecting your coast. Mail or drop off your responses at CRM offices cm Saipan, Rota, and Tinian.

Responses will be reviewed by the CRM office. A draft version of the Assessments will be prepared and presented for public review on all islands during November of this year. At that time you again will have a chance to present your ver­bal or written opinions on this work.

Please, watch for further public hearings and help us work towards a better managed coast of CNMI - for all of us, our children and their childrea

21 governm ent em ployees vie for Labor Day awards

THROUGHOUT the week, many were asking “who will be this year’s employee of the year?” On Monday, with nearly 4,000 government employees celebrat­ing this year’s Labor Day fes­tivities at American Memorial Park, only one of the 21 finalists will take home the $1,000 cash prize along with the price that comes with being selected the CNMI 1991 Employee o f the Year.

Runner-ups will receive $600 each special recognition.

This year’s theme, Unity in Progress, serves as a reminder that government service is a privilege and that the overall ef­fectiveness and efficiency o f governmental services throughout the CNMI depends on a positive attitude and team spirit

Official ceremonies get under­way at American Memorial Park at 9 a.m. Monday. Nominees for Employee Of The Year were se­lected from each governmental agency or department In nar­rowing the selection, such.areas as. quantity and quality of work, creativity and innovation, man-

Cambodiacontinued from page 2his prison gift to the side of the road and sped off on the back of a m otorcycle. O thers stood around not knowing where to go. They said they had only learned Tuesday they were being freed and had no time to contact friends or family.

Meng Leang, 52, a toothless man with sunken cheeks, was cut off from his family during 10 years in jail.

“I spent so many years in jail. I wasted everything,” he said.

Meng Leang said he was jailed after being accused of failing to report the killing of a woman who lived in his house.

He said he was held for much of the time in a five-by-10-meter (yard) cell with 50 to 60 people. Often he was shackled and fed nothing but rice and soup.

The governm ent and C am bodia’s th ree guerrilla groups signed a peace accord last year that requires them to respect human rights while the UN peacekeeping operation prepares the country for elections by May 1993.

A few weeks ago, afte r McNamara’s office expressed concern about prison conditions, government authorities abolished the use of metal shackles on pris­oners and sent the seriously ill to hospitals.

The government also estab­lished a commission to improve health conditions and food in the prisons and to review cases of prisoners to decide whether they should be freed or brought to trial.

A reliable source who de­manded anonymity said in July that it appeared that less than 10 percent of those held in prisons in Phnom Penh had been tried.

“Without Mrs. Diaz’s contribu­tions to the Criminal Division, it is doubtful that the attorneys would be able to accomplish as much as they do.”

Greenpeace presses opposition to Japan’s plutonium shipments

G REENPEACE ship, Rainbow Warrior, in full sail. This recentiy converted 184 foot traw ier replaces the original Rainbow Warrior, sunk in 1985by French agents. The new Rainbow Warrior, launched in 1989, continues the work o f the original as a vital tool for Greenpeace campaigns in the Pacific.

GREENPEACE has brought its Rainbow Warrior flagship to Ha­waii next week to release an ex­clusive report documenting the potential disaster of an accident involving Japanese plutonium shipments in Honolulu harbor.

Greenpeace, in a press confer­ence aboard the ship, would urge Japan to immediately cancel its plan to ship tons of plutonium through the Pacific. The ship­ments are expected to begin this fall, and although the Japanese and US governments refuses to identify the ship’s route or ports it would use in an emergency, Ho­nolulu is a likely stop.

The report — “Plutonium Ship ‘Akatsuki Maru’: Consequences of Fire in the Port of Honolulu” — uses US government computer models to project the extent and degree of damage from an acci­dental release of plutonium from the Japanese transport vessel. The accident scenario involves a credible ship-board fire which ruptures the plutonium shipping containers.

A lso available at the news co n fe ren ce is a report by G reenpeace and the Nuclear Control Institute documenting that the containers in which the plu­tonium is shipped in would prob­ably not withstand a serious ac­cident.

“Hawaii and the entire region

face an unacceptable risk fromJapan’s reckless scheme to shipthousands of pounds of plutoniumacross the Pacific,” said TomClements, a Greenpeace nuclearcampaigner. “A plutonium spillin Honolulu, or any other port,would be a major disaster for theenvironment and public health -not to mention the tourism indus- .. ., »> try.

The Akatsuki Maru was previ­ously a carrier of high-level ra­dioactive waste— spentfuel from nuclear reactors — which is car­ried through the Panama Canal from Japan to Europe. Greenpeace has obtained infor­mation that spent nuclear fuel vessels have illegally entered Honolulu over the past two years, thereby causing concern by the State of Hawaii about the upcom­ing plutonium shipments.

The Akatsuki Maru — previ­ously named the Pacific Crane— is owned by a subsidiary of Brit­ish Nuclear Fuels Ltd, a publicly- owned company that operates a plutonium production plant in Sellafield, England. The pluto­nium ship and an armed Japanese coast guard escort (Shikishimi) departed Yokahama, Japan on Aug. 24, for a seven-week voy­age to La Hague, France, to pick up one ton of reprocessed pluto­nium extracted from Japanese reactors. Japan currently sends

its spent nuclear fuel to both France and the UK for repro­cessing.• “In the wrong hands, that’s enough weapons-gradeplutonium to make 120 nuclear bombs,” Clements said. “We believe that Japan will be stockpiling the plutonium, which will only in­crease the risk that other nation in the region will also plan to accu­mulate similar stockpile, which will present a very real nuclear weapons proliferation risk. The world is awash in plutonium, and it’s time for Japan and all other

countries to stop producing, stockpiling and using it.”

The US government, which originally supplied the Japanese withfreshnuclearfuel from which the plutonium is extracted, has the power to block the shipment. The State Department approved a Japanese transport plan during the week of August 10. Opposition is growing in Congress, with Sena­tor John Grenn recently having spoken out against the shipment. Senator A1 Gore, candidate for vice President called on June 17 for the J apanese plan to use pluto-

nium to be reviewed by the Japa­nese people.

Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D- Hawaii, has introduced a mea­sure — approved by the House and now in a conference com­mittee — to block the plutonium ship from entering US waters unless its safety is certified by the Nuclear Regulatory Com­mission. And Hawaii gov. John Wailjee has said he is “not sat­isfied that adequate safeguards are in place to protect human, animal life and the general en­vironment.”

Tangibleimprovements

Dear Editor:There are many tangible im­

provements now in every depart­ments under the G uerrero - Manglona administration like Public Works, Public Safety, CUC, CHC, Attorney General’s Office, especially its Immigration Office, Natural Resources and Commerce and Labor.

The Department of Commerce and Labor, along with the Immi­gration Office, is the most active among the departments, gaining more money daily for our govern­ment coffers. Yet they are the most understaffed, with poor lo­gistics and limited supplies be­cause the legislature failed to ad­dress these problems. They be given more funding so that they can operate more expeditiously.

A paid advertisement just re­cently .published in our daily newspaper attacking the person

. of Mr. Jack S. Torres, director of Commerce and Labor, is too per­sonal and has political implica­tion. that paid advertisement is disturbing and alarming because the Guerrero - Manglona Admin­istration is trying very hard to improve the services and capital gains for the welfare of the citi­zenry of the CNMI.

If this person has the time to go to the Department of Commerce and Labor office and observe how the department’s staff are work­ing, like Joseph, Jeff, John, Patrick, Robert, Dave, Gil, Felix, Carmen, Ursula, Rebecca, Grace,

- the computer staffs and the inves­tigation staff, they are tediously working on each application, re­viewing very well its supporting documents to avoid doctored and falsified documents, like birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificate, work experience certificates and other references for its validity and merits. Al­though everyday they are untiringly working very hard nu­merous applications are received everyday which cause a mountain- high stock on their tables. Also numerous complaints are submit­ted everyday. How can we curb these problems? The legislature should ask for moratorium on hiring.

The department has no perma­nent attorney to investigate com­plaints of these alien workers against their employers for non­payment of salaries and overtime, poor living condition, abuses and other harassment by their em­ployers. The Attorney General’s Office is loaning their lawyer to work on the matter in the depart­ment because this department cannot afford to hire lawyers. Why did the legislature not ap­propriate funding for this purpose and yet continue to have an over­sight hearing on problems the Department of Commerce & La­bor? As a voter and a taxpayer this is a legitimate question to the appropriation committee of the house.

We should applaud the director of Commerce and Labor and his staffs for their efforts.

Fiji still loves Queen ElizabethBush approves em ergency flight for Fiji president

SUVA, Fiji (AP) - President Ratu Sir Penai a Ganil au will fly to a hospital in Washington, D.C., for urgent medical treatment, the US Embassy said yesterday.

An embassy statement said President Bush had authorized the emergency C-141 military aircraft flight.

Ganilau, 74, will be admitted to Walter Reed Memorial Hospital which has treated President Bush in the past.

Australian Associated Press quoted well-placed sources, who asked not be identified, as saying Ganilau has a serious blood disor­der complicated by a spinal infec­

tion which has affected his limbs.M eanwhile Prim e M inister

M aj. Gen. S itiven i R abuka will cut short an offic ia l visit to Australia to re tu rn to the capital Suva on yesterday.

Ganilau, an indigenous high chief, was governor-general w hen R ab u k a s ta g e d tw o m ilitary coups in 1987, oust­ing an ethnic In d ian -dom i­nated governm ent and declar­ing a republic by dum ping B rita in ’s Q ueen E lizabeth II as head of state.

Ganilau, who had been the q u een ’s rep resen ta tiv e , b e­came president later that year.

By Geoff Spencer

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Half a world away from the scandals rocking B ritain’s House of Windsor, the people of the tropi­cal Fiji Islands still love the Royals - even though Queen Elizabeth was dumped as head of state in two coups there five years ago.

“Our respect for her majesty will always be there,” coup leader, now Prime Minister Maj. Gen. Sitiveni Rabuka told re­porters on an official visit to Australia this week.

In May 1987, Rabuka, then a Ll Col., seized control of the army and, in the name of indig­enous Fijian rights, overthrew an ethnic Indian-dom inated government.

Six months later, he took con­trol again. Fiji’s governor-gen­

eral, a high Fijian chief who was the Queen’s representative, re­fused to dismiss a temporary ad­ministration. Rabuka fired him and declared a republic.

The century-old links with the crown were severed.

Rabuka later made up with the framer governor-general, Ratu Sir' Penaia Ganilau, who agreed to become president but kept his British knighthood along with his indigenous title, “ratu.”

On Wednesday, Fiji’s embassy in Australia said Ganilau, 74, was gravely ill suffering a blood dis­order.

Rabuka became F iji’s first dem ocratically elected prime minister of the republic after a June elecion.

Fiji’s links with Britain date back to 1874when its high chiefs invited Queen Victoria to take sovereignty of the islands in order

to stop a tribal war and land grabbing by foreigners.

The British brought peace, law and Christianity. Genera­tions later when it became in­d ep en d en t in 1970, F iji, enthusiatically kept the Queen as head o f state.

She visited four times before the coups and Rabuka is among the first to admit the majority of people there still genuinely re­vere her.

During his trip to Australia, Rabuka declined to become em bro iled in a debate on whether it too should become a republic.

Earlier this year Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating called on Australians to estab­lish their own national identity and, among other things, wants the Union Jack removed from Australia’s flag.

Farrow's adoption plan on holdNEW YORK (AP) - Mia Farrow has put plans for another adoption bn hold while she battles with Woody Allen for custody of their three children, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

The actress had been seeking an inf ant with “special needs,” Gretchen Buchenholz, executive director of the Association to Benefit Children, said on the Maury Povich show to be aired Thursday. Off-camera, she told the New York Post that the baby would be African-American.

Miss Farrow already has 11 adopted or biological children, the youngest 8 months.

Buchenholz said Miss Farrow’s 21 -year-old daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, volunteered at her agency for a year, helping homeless and handicapped children, but the arrangement didn’t work out. Allen has admitted an ongoing affair with Miss Previn.

Lawyers for the filmmaker and Miss Farrow reported “substantial progress” toward a settlement after meeting Tuesday with the Manhattan judge presiding over the custody case, New York Newsday reported Wednesday.

Allen, who was Miss Farrow’s companionfor 12 years butnever lived with her, has sued for custody of their three children: Dylan, 7, and Moses, 14, who are adopted; and Satchel, 4, their biological son. Miss Farrow has countersued for sole custody.

Popov, farm er's daughter wedBREDA, Netherlands (AP) - Oleg Popov, 61-year-old top clown of the Moscow State Circus, has married a 30-year-old German farmer’s daughter in a civil ceremony.

Popov and Gabriela Lehman shared vows at a City Hall service Tuesday attended by about 25 friends and family members, according to municipal spokeswoman Angela van ElshouL

The Moscow Circus, one of the world’s top circus troupes, is touring the southern Netherlands. The newlyweds met last year while Popov was on tour in Heidelberg, Germany.

“The way he tells it, he saw her standing at the ringside without a seat,” Van Elshout said. “He offered her one of the stools from his act, and it was love at first s igh t”

Lehman, who also celebrated her 30th birthday Tuesday, plans someday to join her husband in the ring as a horseback rider.

Indurain receives awardOVIEDO, Spain (AP) - Champion of both the 1992 Tour de France and the Italian Giro, cyclist Miguel Indurain, was Wednesday awarded one of Spain’s prestigious Prince of Asturias prizes.

A statement from organizers said Indurain, 28, was granted the Prince of Asturias Sports Award for his tremendous success in international cycling in recent years.

The prize, one of eight given annually by the foundation named after the heir to the Spanish throne, carries a cash grant of five million pesetas ($50,000) and a sculpture by Catalan artist Joan Miro.

Considered the Hispanic world’s equivalent of Nobel prizes, the awards are presented at a ceremony each fall in this northern coastal city, the capital of the Asturias region.

Koo Stark in new bookNEW YORK (AP) - Prince Andrew’s one-time girlfriend, the former pom star Koo Stark, was once removed from the palace after referring to Queen Elizabeth II as “an old bag,” a book due out next month says.

“Living With the Queen,” being published by Barricade Books, is due out in the United States this October for $18.95.

It is “the updated, hard-cover edition” of “Courting Disaster,” an earlier book by Malcolm J. Barker, said Vicki Rosenberg of Barricade Books.

It was not immediately clear which parts of the book were new. Rosenberg said the book could only be discussed by the publisher, Lyle Stuart, who was not immediately available.

Barker was in the Queen’s service between 1980 and 1983 and worked as a clerk to the Master of the Royal Household.

“Courting Disaster,” was published two years ago in the US, Canada and Bermuda, and extracts appeared in Paris Match.

Hamil returns to Ice CapadesLOS ANGELES (AP) - Olympic ice skater Dorothy Hamill, gold medalist in 1976, will return to die Ice Capades for its 24-week 1992- 93 touring season.

Floods, avalanches force people to flee

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Floods and avalanches of debris from Mount Pinatubo have killed at least 17 people in the past two weeks and forced tens o f thou­sands of others to flee theirhomes, the Office of Civil Defense said Wednesday.

Monsoon rains also caused landslides which have killed at least six other people in Sagada town in Mountain Province, 272 kilometers (170 miles) north of Manila, police said. Seven others were reported missing and feared dead.

At least five people suffered severe bums from volcanic de­bris still superheated from last year’s eruption that washed down in the rains, the Regional Disaster Coordinating Center said.

The civil defense office said 24,982 people have been evacu­ated to 53 refugee centers after their homes were buried under several meters of volcanic debris and floodwaters.

Entire communities have be­come virtual islands, surrounded by a sea of muddy, steaming vol­canic debris.

Damage to crops and infra­structure was estimated at 212 million pesos ($9.2 million), the civil defense office said.

The regional disaster agency said 474 villages rem ained flooded in 52 towns in the prov­inces of Zambales, Pampanga, Tarlac, Bataan and Bulacan north of Manila.

The Philippine Institute of Vol­canology and Seismology re­corded 629 low frequency volca­nic earthquakes near the crater of Pinatubo, 110 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Manila, dur­ing the past 24 hours ending at 6 a.m

The low frequency tremors in­dicate rising magma.

The number of quakes at the same site was 100 more than dur­ing the previous day, “a marked increase ... possibly suggesting an increasing trend in the pressure condition of the magma,” the in­stitute said.

The institute said an explosive eruption was still possible because of pressure build up inside the

volcano.Pinatubo exploded in one of

the century’s most violent erup­tions in June 1991, killing 700 people and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee their hohies.

Tots of ash and volcanic debris on the slopes and gulleys around the volcano are being brought down the plains by heavy rains that have clogged river channels which caused the floods.

The southwest monsoon was brought on by two storms passing the northeastern provinces of the main island of Luzon during the period.

The weather bureau reported that typhoon Omar, which trashed Guam over the weekend, was blowing closer to the Philippines, threatening the northern Batanes islands and southern Taiwan.

The typhoon, which is packing 205-kph (128-mph) winds, was about700kilometers (438 miles) east-northeast of Batanes as of 10 a.m. Wednesday and moving west-northwest at 19 kph (12- mph).

Last dependents leave SubicMANILA, Philippines (AP) - The lastmilitary dependentsleft the Subic Bay naval base- Wednesday, marking a major step in the phaseout o f nearly a century of American military presence in this former colony.

The Navy said232 wives and children of sailors boarded a charteredDC-8 plane for a flight to Guam. The dependents had

been scheduled to leave last Mon­day but the flight was delayed because of damage by Typhoon Polly on Guam.

With the departure of the de­pendents, only about 1,400 U.S. troops remain at what had been the largest US naval base in Asia. Last year-more than 7,000 troops

, were stationed there, and thou­sands more transited Subic dur­

ing port calls by warships.Last September, the Philip­

pine Senate rejected a new, 10- year lease for the base, which the Americans held since seiz­ing the islands from Spain in 1898.

The govemmentthen told the Navy to leave by the end o f this year.

RP considering release of 53 more com m unists

By Oliver Teves

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - The Philippine government is consid­ering releasing 53 more Com­munists to encourage peaceful resolution of the 23-year insur­gency, the justice secretary said Wednesday.

Justice Secretary Franklin Drilon said the Communists, who were serving sentences at the Muntinlupa national penitentiary, have applied for presidential am­nesty.

Drilon said a presidential com­mittee is also studyingthe possible releaseof enlisted personneljailed for participating in seven failed coup attempts against former President Corazon Aquino.

The official said a decision on the two proposals was expected in about a week.

The moves follow agreement between the government and the Communist-led National Demo­cratic Front to continue talks aimed at resuming formal nego­tiations to resolve one of the world’s last active Marxist insur­gencies.

An agreement to continue the

talks was announced Tuesday in the Netherlands follow ing a meeting of emissaries of the two sides.

Despite the contacts* it was un­clear whether negotiations would lead to a settlement soon because of broad differences and mutual suspicion. Peace talks in 1987 broke down after the Aquino gov­ernment refused any concessions until the rebels gave up their armed struggle.

Jose Maria Sison, founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines, said reaching a settlement would be difficult.

“This is ¿'difficult task talking of agreement,” Sison said in a television interview from exile in the Netherlands. “We can see that the two sides have diametrically opposite views. In fact, these two sides are fighting in the battle­field.”

Also Wednesday, a top Com­munist leader announced that he would not rejoin the underground if he was not harassed by the government

Satur Ocampo, who was re­leased Tuesday after three years imprisonment said in a radio in­

terview that military officials promised not to subject him to surveillance once released.

Ocampo, believed to have been the leader of the National Demo­cratic Front, saidhe asked military authorities if they would harass or arrest him if he tries to “live qui­etly” but continue to speak out, criticize wrong government poli­cies and offer “revolutionary” solutions.

“Theysaid, ‘Nomore.nomore.’ So I said, I will cross my fingers and I will forge ahead,” Ocampo said.

The 53-year-old former jour­nalist, one of the most popular and outspoken rebel leaders, spent nine years in jail for fighting the government of the late President Ferdinand Marcos.

He escape from his guards in May 1985 when he was allowed to vote in the elections of the National Press Club.

Ocampo resurfaced to head the Front’s negotiators in peace talks with the government of Mrs. Aquino shortly after a “people power revolution” in 1986 ousted President Ferdinand Marcos from 20 years in power.

6 men who robbed phone firm killedMANILA, Philippines (AP) - Police killed six men who held up a telephone company branch of­fice in a southern town Wednes­day. In a separate incident, a group of thieves escaped aboard a van with official markings after rob­bing a bank in the capital.

Art Castillo, commander of the police mobile security group in Cavite province, said six menheld up a branch of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone in Silang town, about 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of Manila.

Castillo said police cars chased the robbers, who fled aboard a passenger jeep, and caught up with them in nearby Dasmarinas town,but, instead of surrendering, the robbers fired at the police.

“When they shot us, we were forced to fire back, killing all six of them,” Castillo said. He said the slain robbers were Manila residents who may have stolen the passenger jeep for the rob­bery.

He said police recovered about 9,000 pesos ($391) in cash and checks and several personal be-

In Manila, police said about six holdup men escaped with about 600,000 pesos ($26,086) aboard a van marked “For Official Use Only” without license plates during a heavy downpour in downtown Manila after robbing a branch of Prudential Bank.

The robbers also fled with three pistols taken from bank guards.

“I was working at my desk when suddenly my new accounts staff screamed and then when I looked up a man was poking a gun at me and forced me to open the vault,” said branch manager Rodolfo Villareal.

Villareal said the robbers pre­tended to open an account with the bank before announcing the holdup.

A woman teller said she was attending to a client withdrawing some money when she saw a man point a gun at one of the guards.

Another teller said the robbers cut the telephone lines and de­stroyed telephoné sets inside the bank.

Gannet Honolulu Advertiser

HONOLULU (AP) - Publish­ing giant Gannett Co. Inc. said Wednesday that it has reached agreement to buy The Honolulu Advertiser from Persis Corp. for about $250 million.

Gannett said it will be selling the rival The Honolulu Star-Bul- letintocomply with antitrustlaws that prevent one company from owning bothnewspapers. Gannett bought the Star-Bulletin in 1971.

The publishing arm of the two newspapers, the Hawaii Newspa­per Agency, will continue for an­other 20 years, according to. an announcement released to Star- Bulletin staffers. HNA was cre­ated under a jo in t operating agreement in 1962.

The changes were announced

to Star-Bulletin staffers in the news room by John J. Curley, Gannett chairman, president and chief executive officer, and HNA president Richard Hartnett, who will become president and pub­lisher of the Advertiser.

Thurston Twigg-Smith, chair­man, president and chief execu­tive officer of Persis, who was publisher of the Advertiser from 1961 to 1986, will assume the new position of chairman of the newspaper, while publisher Philip T. Gialanella will remain with Persis, the announcement said.

The deal to buy the Advertiser includes Gannett exchanging stock valued at about $100 mil­lion with the shareholders of Persis and the assumption of certain li-

abilities, the announcement said.“The value of the acquisition,

including the stock and the as­sumed liabilities, which will be accounted for as a purchase, is approximately $250 million,” it said. “The Persis Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which owns about one-fourth of Persis, will be bought out.”

The Advertiser, which was founded in 1856 and now has a daily circulation of 105,000, will remain a morning newspaper, while the Star-Bulletin, circula­tion 88,000, remains an afternoon newspaper. The jointly produced Sunday Star-Bulletin and Adver­tiser will become the Sunday Advertiser. It has a circulation of 201,000.

Imelda's Mends to charter planeAquino refused to allow Marcos to be buried in the Philippines, citing national security. She suc­ceeded Marcos in the 1986 upris­ing that toppled his 20-year ad­ministration and dnyre him into exile. Mrs. Aquino’s successor. Fidel Ramos, agreed to allow burial in Marcos’ home province of Hocos Norte, 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Manila. But Ramos refused to accord full state and military honors to Marcos, his second cousin. Ramos also refused to allow the body in Ma­nila, even in transittoHocos Norte.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Friends of Imelda Marcos have agreed to charter a DC-10 from Philippine Airlines to return the boc}y o f form er P resident Ferdinand Marcos from Hawaii for burial in this country this month, sources said yesterday.

The sources, speaking on con­dition of anonymity, said the an­nouncement would be made later Thursday by Elena Yee, a dual Philippine-American national and friend of the former first lady.

Avelino Zapanta, the airline’s vice president for sales, confirmed Marcos associates had approached

him for a charter but there had been no contract.

Zapanta also said the airline would have to get government clearance to fly home the body.

Mrs. Marcos said last month that she could not raise the money to fly home the body of her hus­band, who died in exile in Hawaii on Sept. 28,1989.

The government had offered an air force transport plane if the Marcos family, whose extensive assets are frozen by court orders, would pay for fuel and other ex­penses.

Earthquake sets off tidal waves in PacificMASACHAPA, Nicaragua (AP) - A powerful earthquake set off tidal wives in the Pacific Ocean, sweeping away homes on the coast, inundating islands and kill­ing at least 30 people, the Red Cross said Wednesday.

Residents said the high water sucked people, furniture and. smaller buildings out to sea as it retreated.

Dozens of people were missing _ many of them children _ and Red Cross officials feared the death toll would rapidly top 100.

Water up to 10 meters (33 feet) high slammed into communities along the coast Tuesday evening, splintering beachfront buildings, leaving hundreds of people in­jured and thousands homeless.

“The sea took us by surprise. All of sudden, I was-swimming inside my own home and all my furniture was floating around me,” said 47-year-old Socorro Lopez, who lost two grandchildren, ages 4 and 2, in Masachapa.

Thequake, whichmeasured7.0 on the Richter scale, struck at 6:16 p.m. Tuesday and was cen­tered 120 kilometers (75 miles) southwest of Managua, accord-

ing to the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.

The center reported dozens of aftershocks W ednesday and warned they would continue for days.

“They have been going on al­most continuously since the first shock last night. They are in the magnitude 5 range. But being out at sea where they are, we don’t expect any more wave activity or damage. However, they will be felt inland,” said Golden seis­mologist Waverly Person.

Authorities evacuated thou­sands of people from low-lying coastal areas as wailing ambu­lances sped through coastal towns picking up the injured and dying.

It was one of the strongest quakes to hit the country since a 1972 earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale devastated Managua and killed 5,000 people.

President Violeta Chamorro, whose country is struggling to recover from a decade of civil war that ended with her 1990election, dispatched troops with medical supplies and tents to shelter the homeless.

“I ask for unity and faith in God,” she pleaded early Wednes­day in a nationwide radio address in which she calledfor emergency aid from the international com­munity.

She departed at first light on a helicopter tour of the stricken area.

Tidal waves smashed into doz­ens of communities along 320 kilometers (200 miles) of coast­line from Nicaragua’s main port of Corinto, 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Managua, to San Juan del Sur, on the border with Costa Rica.

The Red Cross said it counted 30 dead in various communities and that at least 25 people were missing, including 12 fishermen lost at sea near Masachapa. The sea washed about 900 meters (3,000 feet) inland at the resort of about 2,000 people south of the capital.

The Red Cross said hundreds of people were injured.

Masachapa residents Yanina Obregon and Zulema Castro said they heard

a loud roar from the sea and were swept up by a wave. Each lost a small child.

Danilo Brenes said he was walking along the beach when he saw a wall of water coming. “I yelled to my wife and we took off running. We jumped over a sea break wall and barely made it,” he said.

Red Cross workers stumbled through splintered homes in darkness, searching for victims, fearing many more children would be found dead. The Red Cross said that at least nine people, eight of them children, were killed in Masachapa alone. **

News broadcasts in Mexic i City showed the bodies of five children being laid out on a church altar.

A quake of 7 is a major earth­quake capable widespread heavy damage.

GDC proposes new AIDS definition

Power outage scheduled todayTHERE will be a power outage tomorrow, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Feeder No. 2, the Common­wealth Utilities Corp. (CUC) an­nounced.

Areas affected are Beach Road Garapan and hotel areas down to Microl intersection. Water and sewer services in these areas will also be affected.

The purpose of this outage is for the installation of an air-break switch.

The continuous effort in upgrad­ing our utility system is for the best interest of the public, CUC Execu­tive Director Ramon S. Guerrero said.

Recruiters meet Sept. 22

ALL RECRUITMENT agencies, employers of non-resident workers and concerned citizens are invited to a meeting on Sept. 22 to discuss problems in the processing of em­ployment contracts and permits at the Department of Commerce and Labor.

Jess C. Bermudes, interim chair­man of the Recruiters and Employ­ers Association, said the meeting would be held at the Casa De Roma in Chalan Piao at 6:30 p.m*

He noted thatproblemspresented by the association to the depart­ment through a petition had not been rectified. “Now it is all up to each and everyone of us to join together and fully organize our as­sociation because we can definitely make a very big difference and can really do something about it,” he said.

By Lauran Neergaard

ATLANTA (A P), The federal Centers for Disease Control was criticized Wednesday for not re­defining AIDS to include certain infections common to women with the deadly disease, but not to men.

“How long will women con­tinue to die, literally on the streets?” said W endi Alexis Modeste, who has the HTV vims, which causes AIDS. “I and my sisters will be a visible and vocal lesion in the side of the CDC until we are treated equally.”

The comments came as the At­lanta-based CDC held a public meeting to discuss its proposed new definition for AIDS.

The proposed definition would include any patient whose count of CD4 cells, a typeof whiteblood cells, drops to 200 per cubic mil­limeter, or about one-fifth the level in a healthy person. The cells are a primary target of the AIDS vi­rus.

But several women who ad­dressed the meeting proposed that the CDC also include in the defi­nition three diseases they contend are common and lethal in women infected with HTV: cervical can­cer, pulmonary tuberculosis arid recurrent bacterial pneumonia.

Those diseases can occur in women whose CD4 counts do not drop to below 200, they said.

H ie CDC’s current definition says HIV-infected people get

AIDS when they get any one of 23 listed illness, including certain types of cancer, pneumonia or herpes. \

Under the current definition^, 230,181 cases of AIDS in the United States had been diagnosed as of August.

Dr. John Ward, reporting and analysis chief at the CDC’s Divi­sion of HTV and AIDS, said the change was proposed to get a more accurate picture of the number of severely infected people.

Federal health officials are moving ahead with the change after satisfying themselves that most hospitals have the equip­ment to conduct the necessary tests.

The CDC released a study Aug. 20showing90of94 hospitals that treated patients with the AIDS vims in 1990 monitored CD4 cells. O f the four others, only one said it did not have access to the necessary equipment.

AIDS activists generally have welcomed the expanded defini­tion -which is expected to make more people eligible for disabil­ity benefits-butsome have warned it would lead to more competition for treatment.

Aftgf the proposal was put for­ward in N ovem ber, Peter Uitdenbosch of the National As­sociation of People with AIDS said the change would lead to “people who have the disease fighting among each other, all fighting to the last dollar.”

PUBLIC NOTICE APPLICATION FOR CNMI WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION

The Water Quality Standards (WQS) of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands protect the value and use of CNMI waters. The use includes propagation of fish and wildlife, recreation, public water supply , and navigation. The WQS require a water quality certification be obtained for activities which result in a discharge into CNMI waters.

Applications for water quality certifications are reviewed by the Division of Environ­mental Quality (DEQ). Upon determining that an application is complete, DEQ issues a public notice describing the project’s potential impacts on water quality, aquatic life, and human health. The public comment period for a Water Quality Certification Application is 30 days from the date of the first publication of notice.

Based upon a complete technical review, and receipt of public comment, the DEQ may issue the Water Quality Certification. The Chief of DEQ may, upon request, provide the opportunity for a public hearing to consider issuance of the water quality certification. ■

DEQ is soliciting comments on the following application for a CNMI Water Quality Certification:

1. APPLICANT: Department of Public Works, Government of the Northern Mariana Islands.

APPLICANT’S AGENT: Henry K. Pangelinan AssociatesP.O. Box 1531Saipan, MP 96950

2. APPLICABLE STATUTORY AUTHORITIES: CNMI Commonwealth Environ­mental Protection Act (Public Law No. 3-23); Part 10, CNMI Water Quality Standards (Commonwealth Register Vol. 13 No. 11, November 15,1991). Section 10, River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).

3. LOCATION OF PROPOSED ACTIVITY: Saipan

4. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED A CnV ITY : The Department of Public Works plans to construct a box culvert structure as a base for the construction of a Talofofo access road crossing of the Talofofo stream, three rectangular, concrete culverts with the dimensions eight feet (8') wide and seven feet (71) high, with inlet and outlet wing walls will be constructed in the existing stream bed. Velocity dissipators and riprap will be constructed for erosion control. The design flow capacity of the culvert is 3,680 cfs, which is adequate to accommodate a fifty (50') year storm occurrence. The natural course of the stream will not be permanently altered. The stream discharges to the pacific ocean at a site commonly referred to as Jeffry’s Beach.

The project construction will take place in three stages. Silt screen fences (two) will be constructed downstream of the site to control sediment run-off the project.

Stage 1 will include the discharge of approximately 230 cubic yards of coral fill to the natural streambed in order to divert flow to a temporary streambed to allow for construction of (1/2) half of the box culvert structure.

Stage 2 involves the realignment of 160 cubic yards of the coral fill placed in Stage 1 to divert stream flow to allow for construction of the other half of the box culvert structure. The 70 cubic yards of fill remaining from Stage 1 will be removed from the streambed.

Stage 3 includes the demolition of the existing concrete slab and construction of the remainder of the wing walls, velocity dissipators, and riprap. In Stage 3 construction of the entrance/outlet wing walls and riprap may require a diversion confferdam.

Upon completion of construction, 147 cubic yards of compacted coral fill will remain in the natural streambed as a based for the box culvert structure. All remaining coral material and debris will be removed from the streambed and the silt screens will be removed.

• 5. IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT: The project will result in an increased sediment load and turbidity in the receiving waters due to the disturbance of the natural streambed and the placement of fill to the streambed during construction. The impact of increased turbidity and sediment load discharged to the marine waters can be lessened through the implementation of sound construction and sediment control practices.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES: The Division of environmental Quality is soliciting comments from the public; federal, CNMI, and local agencies and officials; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of the proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by DEQ to determine whether to issue or deny certification for these proposals.

Written inquiries and comments should be submitted to DEQ within 30 days from the date of this notice. Mail to: Chief, Division of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1304, Saipan, MP 96950. Deliver to: DEQ Office, Old Dr. Torres Hospital, As Terlaje. Or, call DEQ at (670) 234-6114/6984.

Bush faces another China-Taiwan issueWASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, who on Wednesday an­nounced the dlrs 6 billion sale of fighter jets to Taiwan, a decade ago made a special trip to Beijing to soothe Chinese wrath over an­other US arms deal with Taiwan. Then-Vice President Bush ex­changed toasts of powerful maotai liquor with paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, who spoke of sweeping away “the shadow and dark clouds” over US-Chinarela- tions.

Four m onths after that unscheduled visit in April 1982, the two governments signed a communique in which Washing­ton agreed to reduce gradually its arms sales to the rival govern­ment in Taiwan.

Now, Bush’s decision to sell

150 F-16 Fighters to Taiwan ap­pears to redefine US interpreta­tion of that 1982 accord and adds a new dimension to thé bad blood already existing between Beijing and Washington over trade and human rights issues.

As in 1982, Bush is trapped between his belief in China’s im­portance to the United States and the pressures of domestic politics. At stake now are thousands of jobs in the aircraft industry in an election year when jobs are a key issue.

A decade ago, Bush was gov­erned by the conservative agenda of President Reagan, who ran for office on a pro-Taiwan platform.

China regards Taiwan as a ren­egade province and refuses offi­cial ties with any nation that rec-

ognizes iL Accordingly, President Carter broke diplomatic ties with Taiwan when he opened relations with Beijing on Jam 1,1979.

Butunder theTaiwanRelations Act passed by Congress that year over China’s protests, the United States said it would continue sup­plying defensive weapons to Taiwan and help the Nationalists maintain the means to resist out­side force.

The issue erupted in early 1982 when the Reagan administration proposed selling dlrs 60 million in military spare parts to Taiwan.

China warned of “grave harm” to relations if the deal went through but, mindful of growing strategic and economic links with the United States, left open the door to negotiations.

China denounces sale of F-16s

BEUING (AP) -China on yes­terday denounced US President Bush’s decision to sell fighter jets to Taiwan and threatened to withdraw from international arms control talks if thesalegoes through.

The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that China lodged a strong protest with US Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy, who was summoned to the For­eign M inistry for an urgent meeting after Bush announced plans to sell dlrs 6 billion worth of F -l 6 jets to Taiwan.

The squabble over the jet deal marks one of the most serious disputes between China and the United States since relations be­tween the two countries were normalized in 1979.

Vice Foreign Minister Liu Huaqiu toldRoy the sale “grossly interferes in China’s internal affairs” and “seriously jeopar­dizes Sino-USrelations,’’Xinhua reported.

Liu demanded that the United States reverse its decision to sell the 150 je t fighters to Taiwan, the report said.

I t quoted Liu as saying that if the United States proceeds with the sale, “China would find it difficult to stay in the meeting of the five on arms control issues.”

The United States/ Britain, France, China'and Russia _ the leading international arms sup­pliers _began talks after the Gulf W ar on halting the flow o f weapons to destabilizedregions, particularly the Middle E ast “If the US side should insist on having its own way, the Chinese govemmentandpeople will have no choice but to make a strong reaction, and the US government will be held responsible for all the serious consequences,” Liu said.

At a weekly briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wu Jianmin refused to elaborate o n what

China w ill do if the planes are delivered*

W hen die Netherlands sold two submarines to Taiwan in 1981, China downgraded dip­lom atic relations w ith the Hague. Ties were restored only aftet the Netherlands agreed to ban further sales.

It is unlikely China would take similar steps against the U nited S ta tes because o f Washington’s strategic impor­tance. But the dispute will add more tension to Sino-US rela­tions, which have been strained since the Chinese military bru­tally suppressed the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in 1989.

Regarding the threat to pull out of arms talks, Wu said; “This is because the US decision to sell F -16 fighters to Taiwan has run counter to the purpose of the meeting of the five on arms control.”

In Jakarta, Foreign Minister Qian Qichen,who is attending a sum m it o f the non-aligned movement, also sharply criti­cized the sale.

“On one hand, the United States is arguing for arms con­trol but on the other, it is selling very sophisdcatedfighterplanes to Taiwan,” Qian said. Beijing opposes any sale1 of military equipment to the rival govern­ment in Taiwan, which China considers a renegade province.

The Nationalists fled to the island of Taiwan after losing a civil war to the Communists on the mainland in 1949.

TheUruiedStatesrecognized the Nationalists as Jhe govern­ment of all China*until 1979, when it switched recognition to Beijing. Continued American links with the Nationalists, how ever, have repeated ly caused friction between Wash­ington and Beijing.

R iots drive people out o f Los A ngeles

By James Anderson

LOS ANGELES <AP) - Lou Favreau sent his wife and kids packing to Las Vegas as Los Angeles burned. N ow , the family’s moving for good.

“I ’m not knocking the area at all. Ihada good time here,” said Favreau, 48, a 15-year resident of the area. “But things have degenerated, I don’t know of any other large d ty that’s doing w ell. T hat’s cities today, I guess.”

For Favreau and his wife, Mary Kate, the riots that killed 53 people last spring helped them make up theirminds about something they had been pon­dering for months: They’re moving to a quieter life in Eu­gene, Ore.

Experts say the riots eventu­ally could prod Thousands of others to move· out, joining the stream of those fed up with the c ity 's smog, crime, jammed freeways, congested neighbor­hoods and underfunded schools.

“The civil disturbances o f the 1960s shook people’s confi­dence in their cities to the very’' core,” said Mark Baldassare, a demographer at the University of California at Irvine. ‘Over time, they also began to sym­bolize the fears o f the middle- class population: crime, vio­lence, government's lack of ability to provide a safe envi­

ronment.”He added, “All these elenients

can be seen today in Los Ange­les.”

Unlike the white flight that fol­lowed the 1965 Watts riots, a 1990s exodus from Los Angeles will cross racial lines, Baldassare said. “I think you’ll see the same forces propel whites, blacks, Asians andHispamcsoutofL. A.,” he said.

Many Korcan-Amcrican mer­chants whose stores were ran­sacked during the riots are ready to leave, said David Kim, presi­dent of the Southern California chapter of the Korean American Grocers Association.

Kim said members of his orga­nization are tired o f inner-city crime and sometimes violent dis­putes with blacks. They’re wait­ing to see if insurance payouts and government rebuilding help will allow them to move. With or without that help, new city ordi­nances to curb reconstruction of South Central liquor stores and flea markets will force some Ko-' reanmerchants‘tomove,Kimsaid. About 2,400 of the area’s 3,600 Korean-owned stores were dam­aged or destroyed in the riots.

“Personally I recom m end looking for another place. You may make less profits, but you’ll be doing better in the long term,” he said.

Asian-Americans have been settling in suburban Los Angeles

for some time. Orange County’s Asian population has doubled over thepast decade, to250,000.

M iddle- and upper-class blacks, too, were abandoning the inner city long before the verdict in the Rodney King heating touched off the riots April 29,

Between 1980 and 1990, South Los A ngeles’ b lack population dropped 20 percent as about 75,000 moved out. At the same time, the black popu­lation in suburban San Bernar­dino and Riverside counties more than doubled, to about 170,000.

till, evidence of a riot-spurred exodus from Los Angeles is largely anecdotal.

M ayflow er T ransit Inc. moved 1 /380households out of Los Angeles the first six months o f this year. In June, it sent nearly 290 empty vans back to California to meetderoand. It is more efficientfor vans toretum full, hut there ju s t w eren’t enough customers moving w est

“California has been shifting to an outbound state for us,” said Beth Copeland, a May­flower spokeswoman.

Bill Seavey, director of the Greener Pastures Institute, a business that counsels people who want to move, reported an increase this year in clients _ nearly all of them white _ seek­ing advice on where and how to move.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former US Defense Secretary Clark Clifford may escape Washington prosecution in the BCCI bank scandal because of his heart con­dition, and a New York prosecu­tor indicated Wednesday that he may also be excused from a trial there. ,

A cardiologist who examined Clifford’s medical records has agreed that he could suffer a heart attack if he goes on trial, and federal justice Department offi­cials said Tuesday they may de­cide not to prosecute him for that reason.

The evaluation by Dr. Albert A. Del Negro, who was asked by the departm ent to exam ine Clifford’s record, confirmed ear­lier statements by Clifford’s de­fense attorneys.

In a brief filed in US District Court here, department officials said they support Clifford’s ear­lier request that he be examined by a court-appointed physician.

The 85-year-old Clifford also may be excused from standing trial on separate _ and more seri­ous _ charges in New York state, a New York prosecutor indicated Wednesday.

An associate of Manhattan D istric t A ttorney R obert Morgenthau said their office is working with the Justice Depart­ment to review Clifford’s medi­cal records to determine whether

he should stand trial.“No one w ants to put

(Clifford’s) life in substantial danger in this trial,” Michael C herkasky , .the ch ief of Morgenthau’s investigation divi­sion, said in an interview.

Clifford suffered a heart attack in 1977.

“I estimate that it is probable that the patient would suffer a myocardial infarction (heart at­tack) as a direct result of undergo­ing trial,” Del Negro said in an Aug. 21 letter to a Justice De­partment official. “He stands a greater than 50 percent chance of dying as a direct result of such a provoked myocardial infarction.”

Del Negro, who is in private practice in the Washington area, also wrote that despite his ad­vanced age, Clifford must undergo coronary bypass surgery in order to survive.

The letter was attached to the brief filed by the Justice Depart­ment.

Clifford and his former law partner, Robert Altman, were charged July 29 in separate fed­eral and New York indictments with making millions of dollars in illegal profits from the Bank of Credit and Commerce Interna­tional.

BCCI has pleaded guilty to fed­eral racketeering charges and agreed to forfeit $550 million in assets. But Clifford and Altman have pleaded innocent.

Inflation outpaces income growthBy Dave Skimore

W ASHINGTON (A P) - Growth in Americans’ income last year failed to keep pace with in- flationforthefirsttimesince 1982, the government said today.

The Commerce Department said per capita personal income grew just 2.4 percent to $19,092. That was only slightly jnore than half the 4.4 percent inflation rate registered by a Commerce De­partm ent index for personal spending.

Income growth last lagged in­flation in 1982, during the previ­ous recession, and it has not been aslowin30years, the department said. This is the second consecu­tive' year that income growth

slowed from the year before. It was 5.3 percent in 1990 and 6.5 percent in 1989.

Today’s figures represent a revision of an earlier report re­leased in April, when the depart­ment said incane growth was 2.1 percent Differences among rich and poor states, narrowed last year, although Connecticut re­tained its 1990 ranking as the richest state, with per person av­erage income of $26,022. Mis­sissippi remained the poorest, with average income of $13,328.

(Hawaii ranked seventh in the nation in per-capita income at $21,190, a three-point-one per­cent gain from 1990.)

Montanahad the fastest growth. Incomes there increased 7 percent

to $15,675. Louisiana followed with a 5.4 percent increase, Mis­sissippi, 4.9 percent, and Arkan­sas, Kentucky and West Virginia, all 4.4 percent

Tw elve of the 13 slowest growing states were on or near either the East or West coasts. That presented a mirror image of the so-called “bicoastal economy” of the mid-1980s, which saw low- income inland states lagging be­hind the boom in richer coastal states.

Incomes grew slowest in Ne­vada, up 0.5 percent. They were followed by California, up 1.3 percent, and Alaska, Delaware and Idaho, all up 1.5 percent.

The states with the highest in­comes, after Connecticut, were

New Jersey, $25,066; Massachu­setts, $23,003; New Y ork, $22,471, and Maryland, $22,189.

The low income states, after Mississippi, were West Virginia, $14,301; Utah, $14,625; Arkan­sas, $14,629, and New Mexico, $14,644.

Despite the relatives differences in growth and income during 1991,48 states had one thing in common: They all had slower growth than the year before. Growth rates picked up only in Montana and New Hampshire.

The Commerce Department derived the per capita income fig­ure by dividing total income in 1991 -$4.81 trillion - by the total population, 252 million.

US factory orders post worst declineWASHINGTON (AP) - Orders to US factories in July recorded their worst decline in seven months, the government said Wednesday,. underscoring pre­election concern about the wob­bly economy.

Orders fell 1.1 percent to $241.8 billionfollowing a2.4percenlgain in June. It was the second decline in three months and the worst since a 3.7 percent drop in December. In advance, analysts were anticipat­ing a slightly bigger decrease.

Early in the year, economists had been counting cm factory pro­duction, particularly of “big ticket” durable goods ranging from air­planes to home appliances, to help lift the economy from stagnation.

$aveEnergy

However, the looked-forpickup ' has not arrived. Analysts now say the earliest the economy can shed its sluggishness is early next year, too late for incumbent officehold­ers such as President Bush, who face restive voters on Nov. 3.

In another w arn ing sign , W ednesday’s report said the backlog of unfilled orders fell 1.3 percent to $484.3 billion, the lowest level since February 1989. It was the 11th consecutive de­crease and an indication of pos­sible production cutbacks and layoffs ahead.

The dwindling backlog shows that the current manufacturing workforce is having little diffi­culty keeping up with new orders.

However, some economists be­lieve part of the decline can be attributed to a shift away from production of military equipment, which takes longer to make than most other goods.

In July, orders for durable goods declined 3.2 percent to $119.3 billion. That marks a re­vision from the 3.4 percent drop estimated last week. The worst declines came at engines and tur­bines, down 20.3 percent; air­craft, down 36.3 percent, and military goods, down 27.4 per­cent. There also were drops in steel, engines and turbines and construction and mining equip­ment. Orders for communications equipment and stone and glass

products rose.Non-durable goods orders rose

0.9 percent to $122.5 billion, the sixth increase in a row. The gain was led by printing and publish­ing and food. There were declines in orders for leather and tobacco products.

E xclud ing tran sp o rta tio n equipment, orders were up 0.9 percent in July. Excluding mili­tary goods, they fell 0.4 percent.

Shipments from factories, a measure of current production, rose 0.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted $248.3 billion, the sixth increase in seven months.

Inventories were virtually un­changed at a seasonally adjusted $383 billion.

announceswheat export

By Robert Burns

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush released $755 million in emergency disaster aid for farm­ers Wednesday and announced . $3 billion in new agricultural subsidies for wheat exports.

The White House announced the agricultural subsidies to make US wheat more competitive in world markets against European Community products. There was no immediate comment from the headquarters of the 12community countries in Brussels, Belgium.

Ah official at the community’s delegation in Washington, who asked not to be quoted, said there was “a lot of politics” in the de­cision and it would be examined carefully.

The move is a departure from the administration’s insistence in ongoing trade talks in Genev a that all farm subsidies eventually be ended. Over five years of nego­tiations among 108 counjtries on a wide variety of issues have been

stalled by a long disagreement between the United States and the Community over the Subsidies.

Negotiators from the Bush ad­ministration have called for cuts in subsidies much larger than thé Community has been willing to make.

“Absent an agreement, the president is committed to using tools at his disposal to ensure that US producers are able to com­pete,” a White House fact sheet said.

An adm inistration official, while denying that Bush was trying to start a trade war, said the president was determined to “meet the EC competition wherever we find it.”

The new subsidies will cover 1.1 billion bushels of US wheat sales to 28 countries. The ad­ministration claimed the export package was worth more than $3 billion to American farmers and could supportriearly 100,000 new US jobs.

Bush’s export plan comes un­

der the Export Enhancement Pro-, gram of the US Department of Agriculture. This is the most wheat to be made available under this program at any one time, he said.

“I am putting foreign govern­ments on notice to that effect right away in South Dakota,” Bush said in a speech at a family farm there.

With 62 days left in the presi­dential race, the White House announced the programs as Bush headed to campaign stops in South Dakota and Texas. The move followed apromise of 100 percent reimbursement for Florida’s re­covery costs from Hurricane Andrew, a step thatcan only boost his popularity in a key electoral state.

The W hite House said the president was freeing $755 million in emergency aid for farm disas­ters including Hurricane Andrew and other catastrophes such as floods, tornadoes and frost in states from Texas to the upper Midwest.

Australia hits new US subsidiesCANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Prime Minister Paul Keating on Tuesday criticized $ 3 billion in new US wheat subsidies an­nounced by President Bush, and said they threatened to escalate a trade war with Europe.

Bush, taking advantage of his post to boost his flagging re- election campaign, announced the subsidies in South Dakota, a major grain-producing state.

The announcement dominated A ustralian new spapers and morning television news pro­

grams.“We deeply regret that domes­

tic policy pressures have overrridden'a US commitment to the pursuit of a less corrupted international tradingenvironment for farm products,” Keating said.

The impact US subsidies on Australia’s unsubsidized farmers has long been a sore point in re­lations with the United States. Farmers protested when Bush visited in January.

In his announcement, Bush re­ferred specifically to Australia,

saying the subsidies were not aimed at countries with no subsi­dies. Nevertheless, agriculture officials and farmers said it would hurt.

Keating said Australia would protest the move. Australia heads the 14-nation Cairns Group of agricullural-exporting nations.

Keating said the latest mea­sures were hard to square with assurances by Bush’s govern­ment that it would try to avoid hurting Australian farmers with its subsidies.

NOTICE TO VENDORSThe Director of Department of Community & Cul­tural Affairs, Mr. Jesus B, Pangelinan, would like to remind all vendors doing business with the Nutri­tion Assistance Program [NAP)that funds budgeted for Fiscal Year 1992 will expire on September 30, 1992. This means that if you have a NAP accounts receivable, you will be required to submit your invoices to the Department of Finance, Accounts payable Section in order to get paid.

You run the risk of not getting paid out of NAP’s FY’92 funds by not submitting your invoices on or before September 30,1992.

Thai Airways stock price surges by 9%

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -The price of Thai Airways Interna­tional stock rose by more than 9 percent W ednesday after the prime minister blocked a military attempt to retain chairmanship of the national carrier’s board of di­rectors.

Thai Airways International stock rose five baht to close at a ceiling price of 58 baht ($2.31) in Stock Exchange o f Thailand trading Wednesday. Investors anticipated that an airline board freed o f military interference would run the company more professionally, stock analysts said.

Interim Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun on Tuesday inter­vened in the controversy over appointing a new board for the airline and announced that the air force commander, A ir Chief Marshal Gun Pimamthip, would not be the board chairman.

Last week, Gun abruptly closed an airline meeting to appoint a new board and said he wanted to be chairman.

Anand’s move was another step in removing the military from in­volvem ent in p o litic s , said S u rachart B am rungsuk , a Chulalongkom University politi­cal scientist.

Likhit Dhiravegin, another leading political scientist, said Wednesday that public support has allowed Anand to move against the military.

The widely respected Anand took office after army-backed P rim e M in iste r S uch inda Kraprayoon resigned inM ayover the public outrage at the military’s violent crackdown on pro-de- mocracy demonstrators. He has called a general election for Sept. 13.

The M ay events tarnished the im age o f Thai A irw ays In ­ternational, the m ost visib le T hai com pany in the world. One o f the m en held respon­sible for the bloodshed, former air fo rce com m ander K aset R ojananil, was chairm an o f the a irlin e’s board o f d irec­tors.

Wall Street up slightly in quiet tradeNEW YORK (AP) - The stock market eked out a small gain in quiet early trading Wednesday.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials inched ahead 2.97 to 3,269.23 at 10.30 am . EDT in the first hour of trading.

Gainers outpaced losers by about 7 to 6 on the New York Stock Exchange, with 590 up, 516 down and 682 unchanged, and NYSE volume came to 22.77 million shares in the first half hour.

Analysts said investors were cautiously watching the dollar in foreign exchange as it touched new post-Worid W arn lows against the German mark.

After stabilizing last week in currency trading, the dollar has drifted lower again lately.

Meanwhile, the markets had to absorb fresh evidence that the economy was still struggling to mount a sustained recovery from the recession.

The Commerce Department re­pealed that new factory orders fell l .i percent in July.

IBM, Canon to make small computers

TOKYO (AP) - IBM Corp. and Canon, a leading Japanese elec­tronics maker, have agreed to co­operate in developing small com­puters and will begin selling their first product next year, a Canon spokesman said Wednesday.

The spokesman, who askednot to be identified, confirmed a re­port in the economic daily Nihon Keizai that the companies agreed to link Canon’s printer and color copier technology with IBM computer technology..

He said IBM and Canon will start selling next year a notebook computer that is based on IBM’s PS/55 m odel and includes Canon’s small-sized“bubble-jet” printing cartridge.

IBM-Canon joint development would be the latest in a series of major US-Japan tie-ups that have emerged over the past few years as high-tech firms in both coun­tries seek to share the ever-rising

. cost of creating new products.But a spokesman for IBM, who

requested anonymity, said the two companies were still talking aboyt cooperation and denied that any formal decision had been made.

Strike threatens 6 more GM plantsDETROIT (AP) - Six General Motors plants have shut down and six others were threatened Wednesday by a United Auto Workers strike that represents the firs t m ajor challenge to the automaker’s plans to eliminate jobs and cut costs.

The strike by 2,400 workers at a GM body-stamping plant in Lordstown, Ohio, has choked off the supply of parts to assembly plants, idling more than 28,500 assembly workers since Friday. The walkout is in its seventh day today.

Negotiations, aimed at ending the Lordstown parts strike and block a walkout threatened for Friday at an adjacent assembly plant, broke off at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, said union spokes­man John Badnek. They resumed shortly before noon.

A car-building plant in Okla- homaCity employing about 5,000 workers was to close Wednesday, said Steve Featherston, president of the United Auto Workers local

at the plant, which makes the Buick Century and Oldsmobile Ciera.

Five other assembly plants , in Michigan, Delaware, Canada and Mexico were threatened with a shutdown as well.

TwoLordstown-suppliedplants closed Tuesday, in Wentzville, Mo., and in Flint, Mich. Earlier, plants shut down in Baltimore; Lordstown; Orion Township, Mich.; and in Spring Hill, Tenn., where the hot-selling Saturn is built

Outside suppliers also have been affected.

In Church Hill, Tenn., the Kingston-Warren Corp. plant, which makes rubber moldings that are put around car windows, closed at the end of the second shift on Tuesday. More than 700 workers were laid off.

Last year, GM announced plans to close 21 plants and eliminate some 60,000 hourly positions in the United States and Canada by 1995.

Asia to take 31% of US farm exports

WASHINGTON (AP) - Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong are forecast to take 31 per­cent of all US farm exports in fiscal 1992, the Agriculture De­partment says,

“Consumption patterns in East Asia show a continued dietary shift toward anim al protein foods,” said a report this month by the Economic Research Ser­

vice.“East Asian populations, led by

Taiwan, are moving steadily away from rice-based diets to diets rich in meat, dairy products, eggs and fish,” it said.

US farm exports to East Asia are forecast to expand about 4 percent, after dropping almost $1. billion last year, the report on Pacific Rim countries said.

It said the agricultural sectors of New Zealand and Australia are recovering from a current economic slump but agriculture in most East Asian countries “is characterized by a declining share of Gross National Product, a steady exodus of people from the farm sector, and a growing num­ber of part-time farmers.”

GATT chief seeks Korean cooperationSEOUL, South Korea (AP) -

Arthur Dunkel, director-general of the General Agreement on T ariffs and T rade, arrived Wednesday to seek South Korea’s cooperation in world trade talks.

Dunkel is scheduled to meet with President Roh Tae-woo and other South Korean government leaders Thursday and Friday.

Foreign Ministry officials said South Korea would ask Dunkel to help place more emphasis on developing nations in the Uru­guay Round of trade negotiations.

The GATT-sponsored trade negotiations have been stalled by disputes largely between the United States and the European Community over farm trade.

South Korea has balked at opening its rice and other agricul­tural markets. Seoul officials say a ban on importing rice must be maintained for national security reasons and also to protect South Korean farmers.

South Korea, like Japan, has called for exceptions in replacing non-tariff barriers with tariffs in farm issues.

C&H plans $5M refineryHONOLULU (AP) - Hans were

announced Tuesday to. build the first new sugar refinery in Hawaii in more than 50 years.

California & Hawaii Sugar Co. says it will build a $5 million refinery in Aiea, next to its exist­ing facility.

The m ove signals the company’s commitment to grow­ing sugar in Hawaii, C&H Presi­dent Harold Somerset said.

The new plant will greatly in­crease production beyond the 40,000tonsprocessed annually at

the current refinery, Somerset said.

Construction is set to begin in February, and the plant should be in operation by late 1993.

The refinery will be automated, and will be the first in the country to use ion exchange technology, which eliminates the process of recrystallizing sugar to remove the impurities.

Some of the 49 workers at the current refinery will lose their jobs as a result of the change, Somerset said.

Canadian m in ister in TaiwanTAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Canadian Trade Minister Michael Wilson arrived in Taipei Wednesday for a one-day visit, the first by a Ca­nadian cabinet minister in two decades.

Wilson is heading a group of Canadian business leaders. Offi­cials of the Canada Trade Office here said he is on a private visit.

But the China Times Express, a "-leading T aiw an new spaper, quoted unidentified sources as saying Wilson was scheduled to visit Nationalist Chinese Presi­dent Lee Teng-hui, Finance Minister Wang Chien-shien and

other officials Thursday.Canada has avoided sending

any ranking officials to Taiwan since 1970 when it switched diplom atic recognition from Taipei to the Communist Chinese government in Beijing.

The Nationalists established their seat of government in Tai­wan in 1949 after they were defeated by the communists on the Chinese mainland.

Trade and other relations have improved between Canada and Taiwan inrecent years. Last year, two way trade between the two countries totaled $3.2 billion.

’Butcher of Kurd* tours southern IraqNICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Saddam Hussein has sent his defense minister_ known as “the butcher” since poison gas attacks on Kurdish guerrillas _ to southern Iraq to command operations against Shiite Muslim rebels, travelers from Iraq say.

Maj. Gen. Ali Hassan al-Majid, Saddam ’s cousin, has set up headquarters in the port city of Basra and is touring the turbulent region seeking to rally Shiites behind the Baghdad regime, they said.

The travelers said al-Majid’s command includes Special Forces from the elite Republican Guard, one o f the m ain pillars of Saddam’s regime.

The reports by the travelers, including well-informed Iraqis who spoke on condition of ano­nymity in Jordan and Cyprus, could not be independently con­firmed.

But Iraqi opposition groups have reported that clashes in the south have continued despite the imposition of a US-led ban on Iraqi air operations below the 32nd parallel aimed at giving the rebels some protection.

US pilots patrolling the skies above southern Iraq say that no Iraqi aircraft has entered the air exclusion zone since it was im-

Dated this 2 day of September,1992.

posed last Thursday.Iraqi officials have denied that

the army is still in.action against an estimated 10,000 rebels holed up in the southern marshes since a Shiite-uprising last year was crushed by Saddam’s forces.

The “no-fly” zone was declared by PresidentBush under the terms of UN Security Resolution 688, which demands that Baghdad end repression of its civilian popula­tion.

Continued Iraqi ground opera­tions in the marsh lands and else­where in the Shiite-dominated south could open the way for fur­ther allied action againstSaddam.

Al-Majid’s appointment last week as overall commander of military and internal security op­erations in the south reflects

Baghdad’s growing concern over events there and the possibility of widespread political unrest, the travelers reported.

He is one of Saddam’s most trusted lieutenants and is notori­ous for savagery.

Thousands of men, women and children perished in poison gas attacks during his scorched-earth campaigns against the northern Kurds in 1987-89.

He played a key role in crash­ing last year’s rebellions.

Al-Majid has been touring the region meeting government and ruling Baath Party officials and tribal chieftains.

Baghdad’s state-run media re­ported that he has visited various southern cities and towns, ap­pealing for Shiite support, since

the no-fly zone took effect He warned the people against

“betrayal and desertion,” news­papers said.

That appeared to reflect appre­hension in Baghdad that the US and allied intervention, even though that is presently limited to air patrols, could incite a new challenge to government author­ity in the south.

Saddam himself in a special ceremony Wednesday praised Baath Party officials and tribal leaders from Al-Qumah, 45 miles (70 kilometers) north of Basra, “who confronted a wicked sabo­tage attempt” recently by infiltra­tors from Iran.

But it is unlikely Saddam will be able to muster much support among the Shiites, who make'up

some 55 percent of Iraq’s 17 mil­lion population.

The brutality with which the uprising was put down has left them hostile and unlikely to be swayed by Saddam’s blandish­ments.

The travelers said Ahat many senior government ana Baath of­ficials have sent their families to safety in Baghdad in recent days.

During last year’s ill-fated up­rising, rebels massacred officials and their families in several cit­ies.

The travelers said the govern­ment has launched a widespread crackdown in most Shiite areas, including the low-income sub­urbs of Baghdad and the nearby Shiite holy city of Kadhomain.

Court.. . — _continued from page 1nor the CNM I C onstitu tion specify that only the Senate president can call a session.

ButBellas said the Constitution provides that the governor and the Senate president can call a special session, while there is no constitutional provision stating that Senate members can do the same thing.

At least the Constitution, Bellas said, “has a specific language that ¡gives the Senate president certain power.”

Last W ednesday’s exercise conducted by the six senators “cannot be called a session,” he added.

Demapanhadsent a letter tq the Superior Court by fax saying, he was again elected the Senate president but Atalig said the letter was “ex-parte (one-sided).”

Bellas criticized Demapan’s having sent a letter to the Superior Court as “ improper and self- serving.”

Another letter was sent by Demapan to Governor Lorenzo I. DL Guerrero also claiming that Inos was again ousted and that he was assuming the “responsibilities as President of the Senate.”

Last Aug. 12, after the Senate passed the long-delayed budget for fiscal year 1992, Demapan, Manglona, Maratita, Cing and Borja held their own session on , the Senate hallway and adopted Resolution No. 8-26 ousting ¿nos.

Thirteen days later, Inos asked the Superior Court to declare he was, and still, is the validly elected head of the legislature. Atalig is­sued the preliminary injunction three days ago.

As of yesterday morning, it was still unclear which of the three courtrooms in Susupe was avail­able for today’s hearing.

The presiding judge assured the hearing would “certainly not (be on) the hallway.”

Registration for NM C youth courses startsREGISTRATION for the more than 60 youth and community ser­vices classes offered by Northern Marianas College this fall se­mester begins on 8 at the Adult and Continuing Education Office.

Youth Program Coordinator Rose Igitol said, “W e’re now of­fering 20 classes tailored for our youth, both after school and on weekends. These youth classes include languages, arts, spcwrts, and computer classes as well as a new class on ancient Chamorro leg­ends.

Associate Dean Tee Abrahan said, “We’ve talked to potential students to try and make sure we ’re offering what our youths want. At the same time, w e’re offering courses to help them with aca­demic skills like Reading by Phonics, Shorthand and English for Beginners.”

Interested persons can pick up copy of the NMC youth and community services program of­ferings at the Adult and Continu­ing Education (ACE) office at the As Terlaje campus or at major grocery stores. /

tions very, well.”Stefan Juric, another Yugoslav

grandmaster, commented, “It was a great game, it shows Fischer is really not on the top but could be in one or two years at the very top level of competition.

“It shows during the past 20 years that Fischer has been working very hard at chess.”

The bearded, 49-year-o ld Fischer still considers himself world champion. In deference to him, the organizers hiing a banner over the chess board proclaiming the match as the “World Chess Championship,” although it is not internationally recognized as such.

Fischer, playing white, made his traditional opening move of pawn to king 4.

Spassky followed with black pawn to king 4, and the battle was on.

Fischer chose the Ruy Lopez, or Spanish, opening, a well-de­fined strategy that allows both players to settle comfortably into their games.

Early in the game, Dr. Srecko Nedeljkovic, a grandmaster and former coach of the Yugoslav chess Olympics team , 6om- mented, “The position is better for Fischer, but he is not making decisions. He is somehow hesi­tating, I don’t know why.” But he said Fischer’s nerves “are in good shape” and that Spassky was' playing “passively.”

Nedeljkovic addeed, “He is the real Fischer, according to the moves.... This is really some scat of a resurrection.”

It took Yugoslav millionaire Jedzimir Vasiljevic, and the en­couragement of Fischer’s 19-year- old Hungarian girlfriend, Zita Rajcsanyi, to lure Fischer out of retirement

Ms. Rajcsanyi, a leading junior chess player in Hungary, watched the game from the first row.

She said later, “Ifeel good about i t ... Bobby’s obviously better than Spassky. Spassky is not as good as he used to be.”

The match was ruled a violation

of the trade sanctions the United Nations imposed on Yugoslavia for backing.Serbian aggression in neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The US Treasury Department has warned Fischer he'faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, but he is ignoring the sanc­tions, as is the 55-year-old Spassky.

At a news conference Tuesday, Fischer showed he had lost none of his vitriol, lashing out at Jews, Communists, chess officials and others.

Fischer said he remains world champion and described Garry Kasparov, the current official titleholder, as among the “lowest dogs around.”.

He claimed that Karpov and Kasparov had fixed their cham­pionship matches in the mid- 1980s.

SPORTSRemington edges out Tropical Buds 9-8

By Frank D. Palacios

NOEL HTIAL went 3-for-3 and Dan Eugenio knocked in two runs as the Rem ington R ed Suns snapped their three-game losing streak with a come-from-behind 9-8 decision over the Mar Pac Tropical Buds in the first game last Sunday.

Trailing 8-3 mi Mike Rowe and MikeShadack’s twoRBI’s a-piece after 5-1/2 innings, the Red Suns behind Dan Eugenio’s two-run triple rallied for five big runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game up at 8-all, before Emery Fitial who reached base on a single scored the winning run in the bottom of the of the seventh on a Buds error for their first-victory of the season.

First baseman Doug Brennan knocked in four runs and short- stopper Jess Omar ripped his third homer of the season, leading the Toyota Wheels over the winless Precinct #3 Gangs in the sixth, 17- 7 in the second game.

The Wheels jumped on top 5-0 after two complete innings high­lighted by Omar’s two-run inside the park homerun and Emery K aipat’s tw o-run singled and never looked back,scoring 12 of the next 19 runs for their third victory in four outings.

A1 Taitano’s bases loaded single brought in the winning run and Ben Duenas went 3-for-3 with a double, a homerun and two RBIs as the Kaultz Glass Glazers remained unbeatened, edging the Tenorio Korasons 9-8 in the eighth and extra inning.

Trailing 8-4 after five innings, the Korasons in the last two innings rallied for four runs, highlighted by Ben Lizama’s two-run double to force the game into extra inning.

The Korason had an opportu­nity to break open the game in the top of the eight-but with the bases loaded with two outs, A1 Taitano then took matters into his own hand, striking out Ben Lizama to get out of the jam before bringing in the winning run with a one-out

Y om iuri.. ,continued from page 44Seibu Lions 14-2 on 15 hits in­cluding two doubles by Daijiro Oishi at Seibu Stadium.

Orestes Destrade of the Lions hit a solo home run and leads the league with 31 homers this season. Despade formerly played for Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Lions still have an 8-game lead over the second-place Buf­faloes.

At Kobe, Masafumi Y araamori singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning with two outs, giving the Orix Bliiewave a 5-4 victory over the Nippon Ham Fighters.

STELLA WILDER

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you are a generous and outgoing individual, always concerned about the well-being of others without, of course, sacrificing too much your­self in the process. The fact is, certain­ly, that you are just self-centered enough to put your own interests first, no matter how much you may care about someone else. Still, what you are able to do for others is remarkable, and not often equaled. You are loyal to those who pledge loyalty to you, per­sonally or professionally.

You are driven by a great deal of nervous energy which is often out of your direct control. The result is that your work habits are likely to be rath­er unpredictable; you will accomplish much, surely — but often in fits and starts. Ultimately, however, you can be “on top."

Also born on this date are: M ar­vin Griffin, form er governor of Georgia; M itzi Gaynor, 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, SEPT. 5

FRIDAY, Sept. 4 ,1992VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You’ll

be redefining your own image at this time, but right now you must be sure to deal in practical realities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - You have what it takes to outdo the compe­tition today — provided you stick to what you know best.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - An early start will grant you the greatest opportunity to score a major triumph by day’s end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’re on the verge of a personal breakthrough which will ultimately point the way for others as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You may have the chance today, to lift someone else out of a rut and inspire him or her to new accomplishments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - The hours are likely to pass more slowly today than expected — and there’s something you’re not quite ready for!

PISCES (Feb. 19-Marcb 20) - You’re likely to disagree with the “ex­perts” today. Your own creative pro­cess is in no way threatened, however.

ARIES (March 21:April 19) - While discussing the news today, you

are likely to be making it as well — if you’re in touch with possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - A personal belief is likely to be chal­lenged today, but you can state your case eloquently and successfully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It’s time once again to descend into your own unconscious and find the answers to a few difficult questions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - You must take care you don’t fall “over the edge” as you pursue further limits of creative energy and expression.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You’re seeking confirmation and support at this time — and you may have it, if you ask the right people at the right time.

Fischer w ins firstBlack-Spassky

В С D E FH

By John Daniszewski

SVETI STEFAN, Yugoslavia (AP) - Bobby Fischer picked up where he left off 20 years ago W ednesday, defeating Boris Spassky in the first game of the rematch of the championship he won before slipping out of the limelight. “I had a. good open­ing, and that was basically it,” a jovial Fischer told reporters after Spassky resigned following his 49th move. “It was a pretty good game.”

It was Fischer’s first public chess since he defeated the Rus­sian Spassky in 1972 to become the first and only American world champion.

Three years later, Fischer was stripped of his title by the Interna­

tional Chess Federation for refus­ing to defend it against Anatoly Karpov under the federation’s ground rules. Fischer would not acknowledge the decision and withdrew into sullen obscurity.

“We salute the comeback of Robert Fischer to the chess scene and we await impatiently all fur­ther news from Sveti Stefan,” the federation said in a statement distributed at.the match.

Spassky, 55 and semiretired, accepted the defeat gamely: “Bobby had a good line. He had more space. Eventually, I got killed.”

The $5 million match in this plush Adriatic resort - a few score m iles (kilom eters) from the battlefields of Bosnia-Herze- govina -lasted six hours. Fischer

had insisted there be no adjourn­ments.

Under the ground rules, the first person to take 10 games wins the match. Games are to be played four days a week, on Wednesday, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sun­days.

The big question for chess ex­perts Wednesday was whether Fischer had let his game slip dur­ing two decades out of the public eye.

International grandmasters at the game were impressed by Fischer’s first contest.

“He is even using ne w theoreti- cal m oves,” sa id B ozidar Evanovic of Yugoslavia. “Fischer played very strongly. He obvi­ously knows the theoretic varia-

THE PACIFIC World Piaos suf­fered it twice, and the league-lead­ing Equitable Insurance D-Protec- tor became the latest victim of the San Vicente Miller Draft which remained perfect in extra innings, edging the D-Protector 9-8 in the ninth.

The victory improved the Miller Draft’s record to 6-3, including 3- 0 in extra innings and for the sec­ond time this season overpowered the D- Protectors, tightening the pennant race with less than three weeks remaining. The D-Protec- tors jumped to a 5-0 lead in their first trip to the plate and increased it to 6-0 with a run on the top of the second before the Miller Draft tied it all up after four complete innings with three runs in the bottom of the second, two in the third, and one in the fourth.

Dandan regained the lead, 7-6, with a run on the top of the fifth but the Miller Draft countered right back on Dave Santos’ solo homer in the bottom half for a 7-7 tie. With the score tied at the end of regulation, the D-Protectors took the lead in the top of the ninth on Paul Tenorio’s RBI single before subdueing the Miller Draft in the bottom of the ninth when the latter came up with two runs on two hits and two D-Protectors’ costly, er­rors.

After losing their first six games of the season, the Pacific World Piaos finally became a contender, winning their second game in a row with an 8-3 blowout over the Kobler Sun-Setters in the second game.

Manny and Bernard Cabrera both knocked in two runs and Henry San Nicolas went the distance, allow­ing just three runs and also went 2- for-4 with a triple to lead the Piaos. Kobler which suffered their fifth consecutive loss jumped on top 1- 0 when speed Mabel Ngimgemelas reached base on a walk and scored from first on a stolen base and two Piao’sthrowing-errors but the Piaos stole the lead with two runs in the second when with the bases loaded with no out, John Sablan grounded to pitcher John Reyes. Instead of firing it home, Reyes threw it to first for the first out.

Typhoons fail to dampen enthusiasm for Rota derbyTHE LAST week has been a bad one for a lot of people in Guam, but at least fishermen headed to Rota’s 6th Annual Cliff Fishing Derby are getting a break.

Registration for the three day event, which starts today, and is sponsored by the Marianas Visi­tors Bureau and the Rota Mayor ’s Office, is still on track, despite the best (or worst) efforts of typhoons Omar and Ryan.

According to Perry Tenorio, who is helping to coordinate the event for the M VB, sponsors have been keeping a close eye on the winds and waves, but expect no problems beyond keeping track of competing cliff fishermen.

Bad weather or not, the event is expected to again attract partici­pants from as far away as Korea and Japan and as near as Ijtota and Saipan, along with a group from Taiwan. The anglers will swärm the shoreline cliffs of Rota as they pursue the biggest fish or the largest number of fish species. Another prize category rewards

the largest total weight of the catch.

Official Rotafishingpoints will be from Pona Point, Liyo’ Cliffs and As Matmos Point

The deadline for registration, which requires a $25 entrance fee, is 4:50 p.m. today. Contest officials are warning potential participants to bring bait and equipment since these items are expected to be in short supply.on
