Pollceman Shoots Seaman in Tinian Bar Scuf fie

An investigation was under way this week into the circum­stances under which a police­man shot and wounded a seaman during a disturbance in a Tinian bar early last Sunday.

Wounded was Robert Zahnen, 3 7, of Guam, captain of an M-Boat for httemational Bridge Corp.

According to the account of the incident given by Police Chief Jose Babauta, a disturbance broke out in Jimmy Mendiola 's bar when Zahnen disputed a $9 bar bill. Police were called by Senator John Hofschneider.

When Sgt. Juan Shai arrived at the bar, Zahnen had grabbed Hofschneider by the hair and then threw the police officer

to the floor, refusing to let him up, the police account said. At that point, Shai fired one shot at Zahnen, wounding him in the upper right chest, according to the chief.

Zahnen was flown to Saipan's Dr. Torres Hospital early Sunday, given emergency treatment and at the patient's request, evacuated to Guam Memorial Hospital. Attending physicians said the wound was not serious.

Babauta said he was awaiting the return of an investigators he sent to Tinian Monday before he can detmnine if charges should be filed with the attorney general against Zahnen, or if the shooting was justified.

Floods Destroy 150 Houses in Majuro

From: Micronesian News Service

SAIP AN - Unusually high surf hit exposed points of the northeastern side of Majuro, the Marshall Islands government center, Monday and Tuesday, causing flooding and erosion in some low areas, according to Oscar De­Brum, chief secretary of the Marshall Islands government.

Between 150 and 200 homes were reported destroyed by heavy surf action as of Tuesday afternoon and more than

1,500 people were evacuated to safe places on the atoll. Water supplies to the area have been cut off because of broken pipes, and water has been taken to the area in containers.

Majuro's population is estimated at between 12,000 and 15,000.

President Amata Kabua has declared a state of emergency in the Darrit-Uliga-Dalap (DUD) area, where the govern­ment center is located. Marshalls officials report that there is no sign of

decrease in the high surf action. Three people were reported injured Tuesday, one seriously. A continuing problem with health hazards and sanitation problems exists as long as the situation does not subside, DeBrum said. He added that his government has requested Kwajalein to assist with disinfectant sprays and medicines. He has received word from T. T. liaison officer on Kwajalein, Scott Stege, that a plane will be arriving in Majuro

The draft, will have to clear the attorney general's office, be numbered, signed by Gov. Carlos S. Camacho and transmitted to the Legislature for possible amendments or disapproval.

Proposal to draft such an order was made after Common­wealth officials tried to arrest the crew of a Korean vessel that had been fishing near Saipan and Tinian or three successive days. It was first sighted Nov. 5 by the crew of the charter boat Island Girl. At the time the Korean

ship was about 400 yards off the southeast coast of Saipan. exercise to learn to fish.

The Korean ship was seen the following day off Objan Beach. On Nov. 8 it was seen between Saipan and Tinian and a party of NMI Qfficials, including four armed Depart­ment of Public Safety officers, tried to find and board it. But neither they nor the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Point Harris which had joined the search were able to fmd the Korean ship.

The proposal to capture foreign fishing boats were made by Kenneth 0. Larson, legal consultant for the Depart­ment of Natural Resources, who said such action is in com-

pliance with existing laws. He said under a successful prose­cution, the Commonwealth could realize as much as $300,000 from fines and

Last Ballots Received From Ponape Atoll Cattle Expert to Aid Palau

From: Micronesian News Service

SAIPAN - Mokil Atoll in Ponape State reported ' its results of the Nov. 9 Ponape State Legislature election on November 13 when a Pacific Missionary Aviation aircraft landed on the nearly­completed airstrip on that atoll and picked up the ballots.

Mokil, 90 miles southeast of Ponape Island, was the only part of the state which

did not report its election results immediately following the election because the radio on the atoll broke down and the field trip ship assigned to Ponape State was inoperative at that time.

With all the votes from Mokil counted, the unofficial results showed that incumbent Sahn Johnson was re~lected with 87 votes. The other candidates - lsamu Welles, Sallas Henry, and lulik Webber - .:teceive'd 20, 15, and 3 votes, respective­ly.

SAIPAN - A United Nations official arrived in Palau last Thursday to become the project manager for the Palau District Cattle Development Program. While in Palau, Ludw.ig Maytr will try . to develop the cattle pasture there, to teach Palauans management techniques needea in raising catties, and to try to increase the herd.

Mayer, originally from Germany, works for the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organi­zation (F AO) based in Rome, Italy. His salary is being paid for by the FAO, but logistics and other supports for the program will be provided for by the T.T. government, officials said.

The purpose of the Palau cattle project is to develop a model that can be used to raise catties both in Palau and in other parts of the Trust

Health Officials Attend Conference

On Pharmacy Supplies

From Micronesian News Service

SAIP AN - The unofficial results of the Lieutenant Governor election held in Kosrae State last Wednesday showed that write-in candi­dates Moses Mackwelung received more votes than the six other official candidates, according to unofficial results of the election received by radio on Saipan Thursday.

Mackweltmg received 490 votes; Kun Sigrah, 355 v.otes; Kasuo lsisaki, 284; Frank Lonno, -171; Donald Jdnah, 126; William Allen, 104; and Takeo George, 100.

Absentee ballots . were reported to have been counted Friday I but efforts by MNS to contact Kosrae Friday were fruitle~ due to poor communication.

Before the election, questions were raised , by ' Kosrae officials on age and residence qualifications of some of the candidates. Kosrae State charter states that no i,erson is eligibh: to , become Governor or Lt.

Governor unless he is at least 35 years old, and that he has resided in Kosrae not less than 20 years cumulatively, at least five of those years to immediately precede the date of election.

The Kosrae charter also states that in order to be elected governor or It. governor, a candidate must receive "the majority of the total votes cast." The unofficial results received on Saipan Thursday showed that none of the candidates received the necessary majority of the votes cast in the election. Therefore, , as required by the Kosrae charter, a It. governor special run-0ff election will be held between the two persons rec.e1vmg the highest number of votes. The date of the special election will be determined by the FAection Commissioner.

The position was vacated on October 1 · when Yosiwo George resigned to become the Director of the Department of Social Services for the Federated States of Micronesia government.

12-15. They were T.T. Director of

Health Services Dr. Masao Kumangai, Ponape State

Director of Health Service Dr. Eliuel Pretrick, and Palau District Director of Health Services Dr. Minoru Ueki.

During the conference, the participants considered the establishment of the South Pacific joint phannaceutical service and also discussed the feasibility, management structure, location, financial implications of and fonns of agreement for the service.

Request For Proposal The Marianas Department of Public Works is requesting proposal from qualified A&Ellfor the_ engineering and design of a Correc­

, tional Facility in Saipan. The design should include site design, utilities and the following:

1. Administration Office. 2. Reception. 3. Inmate reception with telephone communication with

visitors. 4. Library for inmate. 5. Kitchen facility. 6. 16 male cells. 7. Juvenile section with 3 cells. 8. Female section with 3 cells. 9. Three (3) outside recreation areas.

Approximately 4,000 square ~eet of new construction with addi­tional 1769 square feet of existing building shall be modify. Proposal will be received no later than December 30, 1979 at the office of the Director of Public Works, Saipan, CNMI.

Territory, the officials said. Cattle can be raised in Ponape, Truk, Yap, and Kosrae; but cannot be raised in the Marshalls due to un­availability of land and cattle grass there.

The Palau cattle program began in 1977 when 55 head of cattle were brought from . .the Northern Marianas. The Palau cattle program now has over 70 heads. The project is located in Nekken, Babelthuap, and employs four Palauans.

3 More Audit Reports Due In Deceni>er At least three audit reports

will be issued by Common­wealth Auditor Robert Bradshaw next month, hard on the heels of a highly critical report on government operations issued this month by the U.S. Department of Interior's comptroller.

The federal report cited poor financial management procedures in the Northern Marianas, inaccurate data, tardy budgets, overspending, violation of the Commonwealth constitution, and other deficiencies, in issuing the report for fiscal year 1978. It also went into problems caused in the 1979 fiscal year due to inaccurate carryovers of funds and late, budgets.

Bradshaw said that his office will complete audit reports on health planning, coastal zone management and the economic development fund. He said he expects reports on all three to issued in December.

His office had issued an audit report on the Commonwealth government operations in S~ptember. Some of its findings were similar to the federal report issued this month by Ben T. Fukotome, U.S. comptroller for Guam, Trust Territories and the Northern Marianas.

Bradshaw said that as a matter of fact some of the fmding were so parallel "I sometimes wondered if they didn't use ours." He said copies of his report had been requested, and had been made available to the U.S. auditor.

Bradshaw said other audit reports his office will be making will be on the Legislature and casino gambling funds.

Manuei A. Sablan, planning and budget affairs officer, and Saul A. Newman, director of finance, whose departments were criticized in the federal audit, said they would not comment on the report until after they had conferred with Fukotome in Guam earlier this week.

Sablan issued an order Nov. 20 that all personnel actions must be signed by the planning and budget affairs officer or his deputy in order to determine if position to be up­graded or reallocated have been funded under the covenant or by federal agencies. He also asked the director of finance to assist in enforcing the order by not processing payroll checks for any personnel action that do not adhere to the order.

While the audit was critical of a number of proceedings, it also said that with the help of its technical assistance team, and expansion of the NMI fmancial departments, progress is being made in obtaining more accurate figures.

The criticism by the federal comptroller fell into several categories and singled out several departments of government.

These comments included: - The top NMI financial

managers were not aware of the government's true financial position, because of in1Jccurate accounting data, unfunded ex-

penses incurred in FY 1978 and 19 79 , and the deficit was greatly understated.

The executive and legislative departments did not take timely action to obtain approved budgets in either FY 1978 or 1979 .

- A total lack of cooperation between the executive and legislative branches.

- If deficit spending is continued as in the past, the government may become unable to pay its legal liabilities.

New positions were created without justifying the positions, and positions were reallocated to higher pay levels without authority. In 1979 positions were filled without budgetary allocation by the Legislature.

- Controls were inadequate to prevent over~pending of grant funds and the NMI might be losing as much as $1 million a year by not establishing an indirect cost allocation plan.

- Use of overtime pay was excessive. In 1978 it averaged 11 % of total payroll and in some cases employees received more overtime than regular pay.

- The Finance and Account­in~ Division was understaffed and in crowded . quarters for much of the time.

- Durin~ 1979 the director of finance, without notifying the treasurer, . made a tele­phonic transfer of $1,486,000 from the general fund checking account to a time certificate of deposit, thereby circum-

Judge Ord_ers ·Juvenile . .

· Held in Detention In the first case of its kind

here, a juvenile· has been ordere<J. held in jail here pending a disposition hearing. . ,Commonwealth Judge Herbert D. Soll, who- presides over_juvenile cases, said that he

. took the ste_p after the youth,

. aged i7 years and 10 months w_as · .brought into his · court on Nov. 19.

Members of the· Department of Public Safety · had asserted

. that · although the youth was technically :a· juvenile, . he . had been . arrested numerous

· times, h~d. violated orders to stay at home during ~ertall]

.. ·hours, had . · . fled· . from police, · and when caught had been. in associa1i<Jn with adults in P.Ossessi_on of stolen articles. · Judge · · Soll · said he had

. learned that . a cell was available in the Saipan . correction facility that is separated ·froin the adult :inmates and · protected by a guard,. and issued his order to

detain the youth there. The judge said that he will

take such measures ·only in extreme cases ~here the family cannot, or will- not, be able to influence the behavior of the juvenile.

"No one· should think that we are defenseless ... that they can walk all over society," Judge Soll said.

However, Judge Soll stressed that he believes that "on the

· whole family life is so much better here than in urban America.''.

He. said that families here are more cooperative in in­fluencing the. juvenile offender to improve his conduct, and also credited the church with having considerable influence.

He said so far this year only . 12 juvenile court cases ~ave' been filed. · But public safety

· .officials said that th~y hav_!! held 63 juveniles thi~ year and . in addition officers have had numerous field · contac.ts

in which no arrests were made. Because no juvenile jail

facility had existed before last week, all juveniles had been released to their families.

In making his order last week, Judge Soll wrote that jailing is a "drastic action. . . not to be used unles.s the child or the community is in danger."

But his order continued that: "Juveniles who are almost certain to run away during the · period . of adjudication (sentencing) or juveniles who are almost certain to commit offenses or involved themselves -in activity dangerous to them­selves or the community, may . be detained prior to adjudi­cation if no suitable alternative is available:" ·

Two weeks ago the Depart­ment · of .Public Safety announced it was enforcing the old curfew law in an attempt to curb vandalism and juvenile crime.

venting established controls over the general fund checking account.

- Security measures and internal control at the auto­matic data processin2 center were not adequate to prevent Jos., or destruction of NMI records. Programmers could make changes to programs without documenting the changes.

- Erasure of tapes at the center was at least partially responsible for customer utility billin2 being approxi­mately four months delin­quent.

- Public utility dnconnect policies were not being enforced, deposits were not collected regularly and utility billings contained numerous errors and were not always received by customers.

- Some invoices were paid several times. Checks were issued without supporting documentation being stamped paid. Some bills were not paid for a year.

- Collection of receivables and advances was inadequate, and collection of past due and

slow paying accoun11 was rarely permed.

- As of September, transfer of Trust Territory property to the NMI had not been accepted or even formally acknowledged by the goyemor. The original tranafer document had

apparently been lost intemally and no action had been taken to obtain another from IT.

Immediate action ii needed to increue revenues and/or decreaae expenditures, or both, to overcome deficits and ensure the effective continuing operations of the government.

- Although the audit report was critical of the accounting system and reconh, theie have been significant improwmentl since the lllignment of the comptroller's technical staff since February 1978.

The report continued that NMI officials disagreed that their spending practices violated the constitution and that the executive branch had oventepped ita authority, but that no additional infonna­tion was provided to 111pport their opiniom.

1980 Budget May Face Veto The $31 million 1980 budget

was expected to receive final approval from the Senate Wednesday and then head for an uncertain future in the governor's office.

Both legislative houses criticized the budget as submitted by the administra­tion as incomplete and lacking background data and said they conducted extensive consulta­tions with various department heads and mayors. The House appropriations committee also let it be known that it was unhappy that it had not received a report on the status of capital improvements from the administration and that the executive had not included the recommendations of the mayors in its budget.

But the administration also was so displeased with several legislative amendments that Gov. Carlos S. Camacho announced during a press conference last Friday that he will veto the budget if they are not deleted in the final version.

He said he opposes use of casino gambling funds in the public employee retirement fund, charged that the "lame duck" legislators will tie the hands of the incoming legislators, deplored restraints on the administration's re­programming powers and promotions of health and education employees without providing the funds.

Camacho also took sharp issue with a proposal to give civil service status up to 110 present employees of the Legislature. He said that incoming legislators will want to hire their own staffs and meanwhile the others will be on the payroll but not have anything to do. He also complained that the governor only has one appointment of the seven-member Civil Service Commission which would supervise the change of status of legislative employees from political to civil service appointments.

The governor also said that he believes the $1.9 million budgeted for the Legislature is far too high and that he would like to seet at least $400,000 cut from it.

A spokesman at the Legis­lature said that it will be up to the Civil Service Commission to decide which of the Legislature's employees should be considered for civil service classification and which would remain as political or consultant positions without civil service protection.

The Territorial-<lominated Legislature apparently was working hard to get the budget passed as early as possible so that they will be in positioll to override the governor's expected veto before control of the · House of Represent­atives pas.,es to the Democrats

on Jan.14. Senate Minority Leader

Herman R. Guerrero protested holding a second reading on the budget on Tuesday, as had been urged, and asked instead that it be delayed until next week to give him time to prepare amendments. He was voted down 4 to 3, but the second reading was advanced by a day.

The governor has 20 days in which to veto a measure. The Legislature can over-ride by a two-thirds vote in both houses. Since the Territorial party controls both houses presently, it could conceivably over-ride

the governor's veto as was done earlier this year on the 1979 budget.

The budget which is. balanced, according to Sen. Benjamin T. Manglona, chair­man of the Senate appro­priations committee, provides $17,249,603 for the executive branch; , $1.9 million for the legislative branch; $390,100 for the judiciary; $6,280,477 for · capital improvements; $183,100 for the mayors of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, and $303,771 for the Washington representative.

Manglona said last year's budget was $27 million plus.

Majuro Flood. •• (Cont'd from Page I)

early Wednesday morning with portable toilets, blankets, water containers, medicines, and disinfectant sprays.

T.T. officials on Saipan have notified the federal disaster control office in San Francisco of the Majuro situation. The officials said they will continue to monitor the situation and wait for a more detailed damage assess­ment from Majuro before a decision is made to request federal disaster assistance.

Jonathan Koshiba, TT disaster control· · officer· on Saipan said he will fly to Majuro this Thursday to inspect the damage.

He said the unusual <lli-

foot tide may stem from a storm in the eastern Pacific which has blown at between 20 to 40 · knots, although the winds around Majuro have not exceeded 20 knots. However, the island averages no more than 6 feet above sea level, and there has been constant wave action.

Koshiba said he attempted to contact Majuro officials Wednesday morning by radio­phone but was unable to reach anyone in the government offices.

He said four American Red Cross persons from San Francisco also .are on their way to Majuro to aaess the situation.

MTC-Announces Satellite Phone Plan Plans for a satellite com­

munications system that will greatly increase telephone and other links between Saipan and the rest of the Pacific have been jointly announced by Gov. Carlos S. Camacho and Bill. Smith, actmg president of Micronesian Telecommuni­cati<>ris Corp. (MTC).

Smith said that the system would involve building an earth station on .government owned land adjacent to the company's Susupe switching station. ·. He said the system which will provide 10 channels could be in operation seven months · after an applications

. is filed with the. Federal Com­munications Commission.

He said the application will be filed as soon as MTC gets clearance to use government land adjacent to · its Susupe switching office, to install the ·earth station. He and the governor said they hope

. the Public Land Commission will act expeditiously in approving the. site. .

The earth station, with its 42-foot diameter antenna,

. wUI operate with an INTEISA T satellite located · over . the Pacific Ocean, would be leased·

from COMSAT, Smith said. He said that with the new

system, 10 overseas calls can be made simultaneously, and provide the Commonwealth with telex, data and telegraph services to all Pacific regions. It could bring live network television to Saipan, subject to its being picked, up by cable TV here.

''We have all experienced the frustration of waiting hours, and sometimes days to place a long distance call," Camacho said. "When this materializes we will resolve that problem."

The governor also said that Smith is heading a task force to study improving the internal telephone system in Saipan, with the objective of putting telephone and power cables underground in . the same conduit. He said that the · overhead wires are subject

· to frequent damage from typhoons and other outages.

Smith said that som~ of the cables were laid by the U.S. Navy in the 1940s and are in poor condition.

·He· said · that old age also affects the long distance system which operates with a long cable to Kagman

Point, an antiquated radio system from there to Guam and anqther cable to Honolulu.

With the new system, he said calls can go directly to the U.S. mainland, Japan or the Philippines, by passing Guam.

MTC will pay COMSA T $1,400 a month for each of the 10 channels Smith said. The company will not raise its rates, but hopes to decrease ~m as volume rises, Smith said.

At . present only four calls can be made to Guam simultaneously, he said.

He said that Saipan Cabli

TV had been advised of the .potential of live teleriaion reception possibilitiea here but no definite amngements have been made to date.

COMSAT represenu the United States INTELSAT in which it has a 25% interest. It also has an iDterat in earth stations in American Samoa and Guam. It also has an interest in and operates earth statiom in Hawaii, California, Maine, Washiogton and West Virginia.

MTC's majority ~ockholder is Kentron International, Inc. which ia based in Dallas, Texas.

Job· Announcement The Micronesian TeleCom~unications Corporation has a job _opening for one ·rel. Cable Splicer/Installer. Appli­cant must have at least 2 years experience in the installa­tion~ · repair and maintenance of telephone instruments, switches and exchange equipment, and in splicing and pressurizing outs.ide aireal and underground cable.

Salpan's First Thanks-Giving Day Parade

A crowd of several thousands lined Beach Road last Thwsday to watch the first Thanksgiving Day Parade held in Saipan.

As if by magic, the rains that had poured through most of the morning, ceased shortly after the procession got off on time at 10 a.m. at the Marianas High School track.

It wended for 1.3 miles to tum in front of the reviewing stand and disband at Mt. Carmel. It took about 1 Y2 hours for the procession to wind up and the judging to begin.

First prize was won by the Chalan Kanoa float which had the theme of "Christmas in the Islands." It had a tropical island setting and was loaded with local foods and youngsters preparing it. It featured a boy plucking a freshly killed chicken, a girl grinding com and another youngster barbecuing fish. The float was ridden by about 25 third and fourth grade students.

The $700 first prize awarded by Town House Shopping Center, the sponsor of .the holiday parade which featured 12 costumed cartoon characters, floats, contingents of bicyclists and marching groups, to the Chalan Kanoa School. The check for merchandise for school supplies was accepted by Mrs. Carmen Pangelinan, one of the teachers who was involved with the float design and conatruction along with students and parents.

The second prize of $600 was won by Tanapag School and the third, $500 prize was awarded to Garapan School.

RIDING IN STYLE- Micky Mouse got to ride in convertible, but Big Bird had to walk in Thanksgivi":g Day Parade.

Fourteen other floats were awarded $100 honorable mention awards by Bill Wade, Town House general manager.

The panel of _judges included Mrs. John Pekrul, Frank Solomon, Ignacio Sablan, Christina Rasa and Florencia Seman. Judging was on the basis of artistic design and how well the floats carried out the holiday theme.

The parade got off promptly at 10 am. despite frequent rain which stopped after the parade got underway. Spec­tators started lining up on both sides of Beach Road as early as 9 am. The parade ended at about 11 :30, and the judges gave the floats closer inspection before rendering their verdict.

Wade said after the awards ceremony that another parade . is plannecffor next year.

Floats were entered by San­Roque, Tanapag, Chalan Kanoa, Garapan, San Vicente Head Start, San Jose, Saipan Community, Marianas Com­munity, San Antonio, Chalan Kanoa, Mt. Carmel, Marianas High, San Vicente, Garapan, Tanapag schools and Oleai Special Education School.

The parade started with police motorcycle escort, banner holden and a con-vertiable carrying Mickey Mouse. Other groups who entered the parade were Girl Scouts, Explorers, Boy Scouts, Saipan Swim Team, Energy Department bicyclists, Little League, Motorcycle Qub, Visiton Bureau, roller

skaters and the Town House Santa aauae riding the last float.

The winners, Chalan Kanoa Shoo/ students.

SLOW PACE- Contrasting with other

parade vehicles was this form of island

transportation, a carabo.

ROLLING ON- Group of bicyclists follow little girl on tricycle.

Japan And The Big Bi d By: Erwin D. Canham

I can remember the days when the products the Japanese manufactured and sold on the world market were looked on as clever imitations but not much else. They were not regarded as of very good quality. There were anecdotes, such as the one about the pair of trousers a Japanese clothing manufacturer produced. He took a western pair to copy. There happened to be a patch on the seat of the pants. So he

copied the patch. Well, those days have long gone. The quality of much Japanese production is

today second to none. The rest of the world drives in Japanese cars, watches tele­vision on Japanese sets, takes pictures with Japanese cameras, and in many other ways pays tribute to the skill and quality of Japanese design, production and

marketing. But now Japan is proposing to move massively into the field of commercial

aviation. By agreements primarily with the Boeing Corporation and Rockwell International, and with West German and Italian countries, but also they hope with Rolls-Royce,/some of the biggest industrial complexes in Japan plan to get into the world market for airplanes. If they succeed as well as they have done with automobiles and electronic products, the effects on the world economy could be

substantial. To make and market airplanes is a tremendous and a risky undertaking. In

typical Japanese fashion, government and industry go hand in hand. A Civil Transport Development Corporation has been established. Its Japanese components include such giants as Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi, and Fuji. The Japanese government provides a loan to pay half the costs (which sounds a little like the Chrysler deal ahead of time). Boeing, which today dominates so much of the world aviation market, is in on the ground floor. Italy's Aeroitalia is also involved. They propose to manufacture the Boeing 767, a medium range twin engined liner. Development costs of the Boeing project are estimated at $661 million, of which the Japanese share is $138.8.

One assumes the Boeing Corporation knows what it is doing, and that the citizens of Seattle are not unduly perturbed. But to transfer any substantial part of Boeing's present production to Japan would be an economic shift of great importance. Up to now, the combination of skills and capital possessed by the big American aircraft manufacturers: Boeing, Lodcheed, Macdonnel-Douglas, etc. has enabled them to dominate the world markets. Only recently has continental European production of the Airbus begun to cut significantly into the American lead.

Japan is already producing some aviation components and some complete planes. Fuji Heavy Industries in combination with Rockwell International have produced six to eight-seater planes and obtained their certification from the two govern­ments. The major market for these small planes is still in the United States. Kawasaki has jointly developed a twin-turbined helicopter with West Germany's Messerschmidt. They expect to sell up to 1,000 of the choppers in a few years. Mitsubishi has also manufactured and delivered engines for small business planes.

So you see that Japan's entry into the aviation market is serious. If the skills and economies of production which have made Toyota, Datsun, and Honda household words in much of the world show up in the aircraft they will produce, we may one day be flying Japanese as well as driving Japanese.

The multi-national cooperation by which American, German, Italian, and British industrial leaders are willing to join forces with the Japanese, shows how far the world has come from economic nationalism. And how far we have come from the days when the Japanese were seen as mere imitators and copiers. But it is quite obvious that technology, developed and perfected in the industrial west, plays a vital role in Japan's present success.

The failure of domestic aviation production - I should say, the relative failure -has long been a · burden and a challenge to other industrial nations. They have had to dig up lots of foreign exchange to pay for American planes. But Airbus industries, a consortium of Britain, West Gennany, France, Italy, and Spain, has made an impact on world markets. They, too, are now proposing a deal to work with the Japanese. But even Airbus' success has not very deeply cut down the exports of Boeing and Douglas. Quite naturally, industries in western Europe, and

t)farianas CVarietr·.·, · t]vew§ '®, qTiew~

' WEEKLT NEWSPAPER PUILISHED ON SAIP¥! M.I.

now Japan, want to reduce their dependence on Seattle and Los Angeles or Texas. Indeed, so complex is the multi-national structure of these viation deals, that much of Mitsubishi's production of business planes is done not in Nagoya or Osaka but in San Angelo, Texas.

I have no doubt this multi-nationalizing of industrial production is a good thing. It certainly minimizes the barriers created by prolu'bitive tariffs. It should also give the United States increasingly powerful arguments when it tries to penuade Japan to reduce some of its tariff barriers. It also gives the industrial elements in ID'C8t nations a crucial stake in peace, rather than in war. These 2l'eat industrual giants are the outfits which used to be call ed the "merchants of death." They produced the tools of warfare, and it was once thought that they welcomed war, even promoted fear of war, as a sales technique. Be that as it may, though the same companies or their successors are producing and exporting the tools of war today, they have a still !!feater interest in the preservation of peace. Thev have a heavv investment in other potentially enemy countries.

Japan's industrial evolution is especially vivid to me, for I was an eyewitnea to some of its significant stages. I was first in Tokyo when Japan's economy was beginning to tum from peace to war. We in 1935, went to the top floor of a Ginza department store, walking down from floor to floor Iookin~ at things on display. The articles strictly of domestic origin, taste, and market seemed ~o be of excellent quality. We bought some delightful pottery at prices fantastically low. Products which copied western goods and were aimed at export often shoddy. The charges of imitating, even stealing western designs and patents, seemed substantiated. That was pre-war Japan and many of its products reaching the export market were attractive only because of their extreme cheapness.

Early after the war, I was in Japan and saw the utter devastation of the industrial machine. The steel plants were a shambles, the ports in ruins, the people half. starved, cold, often ragged. I conferred with General McArthur and his officiaJs as they sought to break the power of the Zat'batu - of heavy industry - which was believed to have been one of the war-making dangers.

A few years later, again in Japan, I saw the almost mitaculous rebirth of industry, dedicated to peace-time needs, to meeting the desperate consumer hunger of the Japanese people, but also aiming skillfully at the world market. Mr. Honda, of motor-cycle fame, took me around his Tokyo headquarters and explained its fabulous growth. What it was then - in the early 1960's - is nothing to what it has since become, but it was breathtaking even then: a 2000% growth rate, he said.

And now we see Japan dominating many world markets, propering as never before, high individual income and also high inflation costs, and dall2erously vulnerable to the world petroleum situation, as well as considerably stifled and defaced by smog and pollution. I would hope that Japanese industrial skill and ingenuity would help the island nation become a leader in the development of alternative energy sources. The sun shines in Japan, too, though not so much u some other places. I would expect the Japanese would develop and market small­sized solar heating devices, and windmills to use in freezy areas, and better methods of utilizing the volcanoes and hot springs for geothermal energy production. Japan's very dependents on oil, even more potentially crippling than the American, should intensify the search for production of other sources, and more efficient conservation of existing sources.

Japan makes very practical economy cars and trucks and motorcycles. Cannot the Japanese make solar heaters? I would think Japanese indwtrialists and banken would be in desperation as they look at the rising prices of oil When will there l>e a break-tlrrough in alternative sources os energy?

Japan's prosperity, it is quite obvious, means a great deal to us in the Marianas. We may n c1t be a goud market for the commercial airplanes Japan is gearing up to manufacture, but we are an excellent market for Japanese visitors. Moreover there is a great deal which can be produced in Saipan that would be very welcome on the Japanese market. Some day the bureaucratic and organizational obstacles that stand in the way of Saipanese exports to Japan will be reduced. Then the Si1lpanae agricultural economy may come to life. When I recall the Reuter's wire story of a few months ago - a couule of fancy melons selling in a fancy box in a Tokyo hotel for $80 - I wonder when Saipanese farmers will climb over the imprt obstacles and sell the Japanese something nice to eat at a much lower price. Mean­time, we can watch Japan's continuing industrial prowess and hope that it will benefit not only Japan but consumers everywhere.

House Oks Retirement Bill Food Stamp BIii lntrodu ced In Senate

The House of Represent­atives has approved SB 1-50 which sets up a retirement fund for employees of the Northern Marianas.

The bill which previously receive Senate approval, now goes to the governor.

The House passed the bill 8-0, with six members absent from the Friday evening session.

The bill sets uµ a pension fund for government

employees who reach the age of 60, their survivors, or those

employees who become disabled at an earlier age. An employee also may retire after 25 years with full ~nefits or after 20, with a lesser annuity.

Credit will be given for previous service with the Trust Territory or a U.S. agency if such service as in the Northern Marianas.

Powers over the retirement fund which is to be financed

by payroll deductions of 6Y2% by the employee, and contri­butions by the government, will be administered by a seven-member board. Each director is to receive $50 per meeting, not to exceed $200 for each month.

The basic annuity will not be less than $1,200 a year, and none shall exceed 85% of the average annual salary. Dis­ability retirement is set at 66 2/3% of salary in effect at time of retirement.

A bill requiring the governor to accept only eligibility standards for food stamps that are no higher than those of Guam, has been introduced by Sen. Benjamin T. Manglona.

Manglona said he opposes any action by Gov. Carlos S. Camacho which would set higher standards so that not as many Marianas would qualify for food stamps.

"I don't intend that our people should be parasites," the Rota senator said, "but I want them to be treated as American citizens."

"We keep hearing about us being self-aufficient. We have got a little of everything, tourism, fishing and agri­culture. We can become strong but is far away before we can become self sufficient.''

He said it would be unfair under these circumstances to set higher standards for food stamp el.ilibility here than in Guam.

"People from Rota and Tinian, and even som~ from Saipan, now go to Guam to get into their social service programs," he said.

Delay Possible In Power Barge Repairs Repairs to the power barge

Impedance are expected to be completed on Dec. 8, as scheduled, although a possi­bility exists that a delay of thrt!e or four days could occur.

John Pangelinan, adminis­trative officer of the public works department, said that he hopes the Navy barge will be back on line Dec. 8, and end the present shortfall of electric power. The auxiliary plant has an operating output of 8,300 kw, while peak demand normally is 13,000 kw.

John H. Robinson, inspector

for the barge repair work under an Army Corps of Engineers contract, said he will not know for another day or so, if additional repair work to the World War II vintage vessel will have to be made. But even if they do, he said, he does not see a delay of more than three or four days.

Taking the power barge out of commission has resulted in a cutback of electricity from a peak of 13,000 kw to about 8 ,400, Pangelinan said. According to hourly graphs made for each day of the barge outage, the peak

demand is during the period from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Pangelinan said there had been some problems with major consumers at the beginning of the barge's shut­down at midnight Nov. 18, but that since that time cooperation by hotels and businesses had generally been good. The official credited the news media with calling attention to the need to conserve energy during the repair period. He said that on Monday, Nov. 19, there was still such over-use of power that one of the eight diesel engines of the auxiliary plant ''.just gave up." .

Pangelinan said that he has had two 2-man crews out checking electrical usage in hotels and businesses, and government offices.

He said that in two cases where air-conditioning was used indiscriminately, he ordered the crews to cut off power at the utility poles. They were turned on the next day' when promises were made not to use the cooling system.

He said limited use of air conditioners is allowed for food markets, and those businesses where it is vital for machinery or material to be cooled. He said that in the

AND BEST WISHES

To - . . - ~ . . .

civic center and Capitol Hill such air conditioning is allowed where it protects records or sensitive machinery.

However, most government offices had their coolers shut off, and the officials opened the louven to catch cooling breezes.

Hotels also cut back on air-eonditioning, although they used th~.:: own generators to provide limited electrical power.

A request by the Trust Territory government to permit additional air condition­ing units to operate has been referred to the governor's office, Pangelinan said .
