9 mm. shells found at Legislature yard

Crime Scene Head technician Sgt Frank Kapileo (right) and Summons Officer Isidro Sablan inspects empty 9 mm. shells found yesterday in front of the Legislature building in Capitol Hill._________________________

ELEVEN spent shells of what were believed to be nine-milli­meter bullets were found scat­tered yesterday morning at the Legislature building in Capitol Hill causing a momentary confu­sion among legislators and legis­lative staff.

Pol ice operatives responding to the scene theorized that the bullets were fired somewhere else and the casings were deliberately thrown near the building, as if to tease investigators working on the recent shooting of the home of three congressmen last August.

“This is something serious and we will not take these matters lightly. If this is a joke, this is a bad joke which I feel is meant to intimidate us, lawmakers. If that is the intent, they are terribly mis­taken,” said a visibly irked House Speaker Thomas P. Villagomez.

Only last August 26th, the homes of Saipan Reps. Stanley T. Torres, Francisco DLG.Camacho and Heinz S. Hofschneider were found riddled with bullets, all of which were found to have been fired from a 9 mm. pistol.

Just the day before that incident, the House leadership brought up a plan to impeach Goverqpr Lorenzo I. DL. Guerrero for condoning acts, themembers feel, were illegal.

Specifically, they criticized Guerrero for a $5.5 million dis­bursement from the general fund without the benefitof a legislative appropriation, and the allegedly illegal appointment of Civil Ser­vice Commission Chairman Francisco M. Chong as acting Disaster Control officer.

Police have yet to find a solid lead on who were responsible for

the shootings even after all 9 mm. service firearms of law enforce­ment officers have already been tested by ballistics experts.

Yesterday’s discovery of the bullet casings had House members again worried and baffled at the motives behind such actions.

House Sergeant-at-Arms George Dueñas, when asked about anything suspicious, said he was not aware of anything until a po­lice officer alerted him of'the presence of the bulletcasings right near the entrance to the Legisla­ture building.

“We did not notice anything suspicious until Summons/War­rant Officer Isidro Sablan came to me and informed me of the find,” said Dueñas.

Sablan believes the bullets were not fired at the scene and were

A G : N o w h i t e w a s h o n c o n t e m p t c a s eTHE SPECIAL prosecutor on the alleged contempt charge levelled against Commonwealth Utilities Corporation Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero will abso­lutely be given a free hand on the case.

This was the assurance made by Assistant Attorney General John F. Cool yesterday when asked about the propriety of having the AG Office choose the lawyer to try Guerrero for con­tempt.

The AG is by statute expected to be representing Guerrero in its

capacity as the legal counsel for the corporation.

‘There will be no whitewash here,” said Cool in a telephone interview with the Variety. “The special prosecutor will not report to the AG office and will be given a free hand in the case.”

Guerrero was being cited by the House of Representatives for contempt after twice refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Committee on Public Utilities, Transportation and Communication.

Committee Chairman Heinz S.

Hofschneider subpoenaed all original canceled checks issued by the corporation from the pe­riod January 1990 to May 1992 féportedly amounting to $99 mil­lion.

Hofschneider’s committee is wrapping up an oversight inquiry into the financial condition of CUC and the checks were deemed necessary for the committee to make its final report.

Guerrero refused to deliver the documents, arguing that the documents were his responsibil­ity to the Board. He, however,

welcomed the committee to in­spect such original checks at CUC’s Lower Base office any­time.

Nevertheless, he considered the subpoena as nothing but a seizure order “beyond the statutory and constitutional authority of the Legislature.”

Such a reaction was no differ­ent from what Attorney General Robert C. Naraja felt about the subpoena.

In a previous letter to House Speaker Thomas P. Villagomez, Naraja said the subpoena repre-

serits “a serious abuse of legisla­tive investigative authority” and asked the latter to withdraw the contempt certification and tempo­rarily suspend compliance to the subpoena.

“The purpose of this was so that we could refer the matter to the courts for declaratory judgment and speed up resolution of the matter,” said Cool.

But Villagomez did not seem to budge an inch with the contempt charge, saying there will be no compromise with the AG.

North Saipan to have 24-hour water soonCOMMONWEALTH Utilities Corporation officials last Friday vowed better water service for Northern Saipan as a one million gallon reservoir servicing the Marpi, San Roque, Tanapag and the As Matuis areas becomes op­erational today.

Speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the million gallon reservoir, CUC Board Chairman said the $ 1.18 million project will soon bring 24-hour service to the said areas.

“Nearby areas like Garapan will also be benefited as water supply from Tanapag Springs and the

Sablan Quarry wells that is nor­mally fed to San Roque and Marpi can be diverted to Garapan for longer water hours,” saidTaitano.

The project got half of its funding from CUC while the other half was through the Economic Development Administration.

According to the chairman, the reservoir will be supplied from three wells that CUC recently drilled and developed.

Additional wells are planned to be drilled soon as supplementary water source to the reservoir.

The construction of the project commenced in December 5,1991

and was supposed to have been completed in August of this year if not for a change order that in­cluded the installation of a booster station and 6-inch piping from the wells to the reservoir.

The drilling of the wells was done in-house by CUC’s drilling crew, with Western Equipment being tapped as contractor.

CUC Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero, who spoke during the inauguration ceremony for the new reservoir, said the system which interconnects with the water lines of the areas in

rid AffairsChristians vs. Muslims: ‘Ethnic cleansing* in Nigeria

By Michelle Faul

ZANGON KATAF, Nigeria (AP) - Yellow pumpkin flowers that tumble over charred walls in this deserted town do not hide the bloodstains, nor can they erase the hatred that caused Christians to slaughter 1,800 Muslims in May.

“The battle is still on, and it will continue until we are free and they stop lording it over us,” said Bala, a member of the Kataf tribe that did the killing.

Bala, in his 20s, spoke outside the Deeper Life Bible Church down the road from Zangon Kataf. He did not want his family name used because his father and brother face trial for murder in connection with the massacre, and he too feared arrest.

He was unrepentant about the massacre, which is reminiscent of the “ethnic cleansing” going on in parts of Yugoslavia.

Some politicians, such as Tommy Ikimi, head of the Repub­lican Party, say the government must make sure what happened here “does not set the precedent” for attacksonminoritics. Christian and Muslim leaders complain, however, that the government is

doing nothing to prevent further violence.

Muslim warriors conquered northern Nigeria in a jihad, or holy war, 200 years ago. In the late 1800s, Islam collided with Christianity in a broad swath of Africa when European coloniz­ers arrived, bringing missionaries. Enmities submerged by colonial rule have reappeared in the de­cades since independence. Tribal and sectarian clashes have be­come more frequent and deadly, lately fueled by politics as this West African nation prepares for a scheduled return to civilian government.

Campaiging for the Dec. 5 presidential elections has height­ened north-south and east-west rivalries that threaten to split the country. TheBiafranwarofthe 1960s ended eastern Nigeria’s attempt at secession, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. A quarter-century later, the nation remains tom by regional, religious and tribal frictions among its 88.5 million people and more than 200 tribes.

For years, the minority Chris­tians of northern Nigeria have accused Muslims of dominating them through the sultanates, cali-

phates and emirates which the British used to enforce their rule.

Bala and his fellow Christian Katafs want a tribal chief to re­place the Muslim emir to whom they paÿ allegiance and taxes. Muslims accuse the Christians of flouting Islamic rules against women exposing their bodies.

Zangon Kataf exploded into violence over the construction of a bigger marketplace. Muslims claimed the Christians would slaughter pigs, violating the Ko­ran. Christians said the Muslims wanted to keep a stranglehold on commerce.

On May 15, Christians sur­rounded the Muslim town and went on a two-day killing and looting orgy with machetes, clubs, spears, guns, and bows and ar­rows.

Only five buildings in the town escaped damage. The others were set ablaze. Charred walls and black bloodstains remain.

At least 1,800 of the 10,000 residents were slaughtered, ac­cording to Rahila Hadea Cudjoe, a High Court judge who led an inquiry into the massacre. “There were so many bodies, a bulldozer had tobc used todigmass graves,” she said.

“They killed three of my chil­dren," sRid Musa Korau, showing photographs of a 17-year-old youth, a 5-year-old girl and a boy of 4. “My oldest boy, they tried to hack off his legs. When they couldn’t, they poured petrol on him and threw him here on the veranda. He was burning alive.”

The young man was taken to Kaduna, two hours’ drive away, because local clinics were full, and could not be saved.

News of the massacre caused riots in Kaduna. Several churches and mosques were set afire and mobs on both sides killed up to 300 people who were unable to reci te from the Koran or the Bible.

Most of the casualties in Kaduna were Christians. Tens of thou­sands of people have been killed in the religiousxonfiict, most of them Christians, and thousands more have died in Fighting among Muslim sects.

When a reporter visited Zangon Kataf months after the the mas­sacre, it was aghost town. The only people abroad were Korau and some of his relatives. They were dismantlingihe corrugated ironroof of his house, all that was left after the killing and looting.

Muslim survivors of Zangon

Kataf are housed in schools apd other govemmentbuildings in three othernorthem districts. In Kaduna, there are three campsforChristians whose homes were burned.

‘The worst is that they all knew each other in Zangon Kataf,” Judge Cudjoe said in an inter- view?“They knew who they were killing.”

Dozens of people were arrested because survivors were able to identify killers, she said.

A retired Christian general is among those, on trial in a court that began hearing evidence in September. Murder is a capital crime in Nigeria.

Christians probably will riot if the accused are condemned, as will Muslims if they are not.

Some religious leaders have tried to mediate since before the massacre.

A meeting six months ago led by Isa Kaita, a former federal minister and respected Muslim,. and Roman Catholic Archbishop Peter latau said joint Christian- Muslim committees should be formed at all levels to resolve problems. They said the recom­mendation was sent to the office of Nigeria’s president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.

Communists choose new leaders, affirm Deng’s policiesBy Kathy Wilhelm

BEUING (AP) - China’s Commu­nist Party, holding what is likely to be i ts last congress under paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, on Sunday approved a new, slightly younger Central Committee that excluded leading hard-liners.

The congress closed with a reso­lution praising Deng and endorsing his policy of adopting capitalist practices to preserve Communist rule.

The party hopes the 319-mem­ber Central Committee will ensure a smooth transition after the death of Deng and other veteran revolu­tionaries who have dominated the party for more than a decade.

However, previous efforts at ar­ranging a succession have-failed and there is no guarantee it will work this lime.

The state-run Xinhua News Agency said nearly half the mem­bers were new and 61 percent were

under age 55, “evidence that the Communist Party of China is full of vigor and vitality and has a train of successors.”

The committee also included more military officers and quite a few members from southeastern provinces that have led the way in developing a market economy.

Formercommittce members who resigned included President Yang Shangkun, 85, legislative chairman Wan Li, 76, and several other eld­erly veterans. They are believed to have resigned voluntarily to make way for younger people.

However, the resignation of Bcij ing party boss Li Ximing, acting Culture Minister He Jingzhe, People’s Daily editor Gao Di and a few other hard-liners reflected the defeat of their efforts to make ideological purity dominate the party agenda.

Instead, the weeklong congress was an affirmation of the prag­matic policies of Deng, who over

14years in power has reduced state control over the economy in favor of free markets.

Deng, 88, did not attend the congress but was itsdominantforce. He and the other party elders

■ -scripted it beforehand, setting the tone of the speeches and choosing the Central Committee candidates,

The congress’ more than 2,000 delegates were given ballots with only a few more names than seats.

The conclave closed with more praise for Deng.

“Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect for China’s reform, opening up and modernization program, has made major historic contributions,” the delegates de­clared in a resolution.

They amended the party consti­tution to include Deng’s theory of “building socialism with Chinese characteristics” _ which means defying classical Marxism if nec­essary to serve China’s needs.

Then the delegates stood in the

Great Hall of the People, decorated with red flags and a huge hammer and sickle, to hear the Internationale, the anthem of the shrinking world communist move­ment.

Deng resigned from his main party posts at the last party con­gress in 1987. However, he re­mains the main powcr-broker and policy-maker because of his pres­tige in the military and party.

So too, Yang and other elders stepping down now are expected to still wield influence. Yang also remains president, at least for several months. The new Cen­tral Committee, which is slightly larger than the one it replaced, will still take direction from Deng and the elders. For example, its firsttaskistoselectfrom its ranks a new Politburo, a smaller and higher-level committee.

However, the Politburo lineup has already been decided by the elders and the Central Committee

vote is largely a formality. The new Politburo and its Standing Committee, the apex of the party organization, are expected to be announced Monday.

The Central Committee can play an important role, however, when there are disagreements among Deng and other elders. In such cases, each side turns to its network of proteges on the com­mittee for support.

Some of the new committee members are regional leaders who so far have not participated in national politics. They have implemented Deng’s reforms in their regions and seen the ben­efits.

China’s economy expanded nearly 10 percent annually over the past decade as Deng disman­tled the farm communes, allowed private enterprise, freed prices of many goods and introduced other elements of a market economy.

New Cabinet sworn inKUWAIT (AP) - A new 16-man Cabinet that includes six politi­cians drawn from opposition ranks _ the largest number ever _ was sworn in Sunday.

In a ceremony at Bayan Palace, the ministers pledged to the emir, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah to respect the constitution, abide by the law and defend the people’s freedoms, interests and financial interests.

The same oath will be taken by deputies of the 50-member Parlia­

ment on Tuesday as it begins its first session following elections earlier this month in which opposi­tion candidates took 35 seats.

In addition to the six opposition supporters, double the largest number chosen before, the Cabinet also includes Sheik Saad al- Abdullah al-Sabah, the crown prince and prime minister, and four other members of the ruling al- Sabah family.

The remaining ministers are non­royal technocrats.

“This Cabinet will improve the relationshipbetween the legislative and the executive authority,” said Ahmed al-Rubei, the new education minister. “We have huge respon­sibilities ahead, people want to see something done and they want re­form,” said al-Rubei, a Parliament member who has been known for his criticism of the government.

Opposition figures have de­manded investigations into the government’s failure to predict the August 1990 Iraqi invasion.

T w o i n i l l e g a l e n t r y p e r m i t d e a l r e l e a s e d o n b a i lTWO CHINESE nationals facing charges of conspiracy to illegally transfer identification documents were ordered released yesterday after posting separate bail bonds.

US District Court Judge Alex Munson yesterday penned a two- page order to release Jin Feng Zeng and Jin Huang Zeng after the duo through their counsel Reynaldo Y ana pleaded not guilty.

Jin Feng was ordered to post a $ 100,000 bond with 10% or $10,000 required to be in cash while Jin Huang was ordered to post a deed to land valued at or in excess of $100,000.

A jury trial was set for Decem­ber 14,1992.

Both defendants were also or­dered by Munson to surrender their passports to the Clerk of Court and remain on the islands ofTinianand Saipan pendingtrial or further written court order.

“The defendants had advised the court that they run a farming venture that requires travel to Tinian, thus the court’s permis­sion to travel to that island,” a news release on the case said.

The duo were being charged by the US Attorney’s Office with three counts of conspiracy to transfer identification documents without authority and transferring identification documents without authority.

TOKYO (AP) - Forget those talcs of tough, tireless businessmen who work 18 hours a day, drink every night and treat women callously. If psychologists and pop culture are to be believed, Japan is a nation of mamas’ _ or Oka-san _ boys.

The proof, they say, can be found in an evening walk through a To­kyo park to observe couples on the benches. Instead of holding hands or sneaking a kiss, many of the men lie with their heads in their lovers’ laps.

Psychologists say iliat is a sign that many Japanese men suffer from “maza-con,” Japanized English for “mother complex.”

The term is used for what is described as the typical Japanese relationship between the sexes: Men long to be mothered and women enjoy playing the role.

In this land of “corporate ani­mals,” where the father often leaves his wife alone with thechildren, the relationship between mother and son becomes the most imponant in both their lives, according to psy­chologists.

When a man reaches adulthood, his company and social obligations are expected to take precedence over his wife and family.

As a result, the psychologists say, many men spend their lives yearning for that most precious of family values, being spoiled and indulged by mother. When it comes time to find a wife, they search for a woman who will do just that.

It is aself-perpetuating cycle bom

of the Japanese male’s dis­criminatory view of woman as a creature whose role is to take care of him, in the view of Etsuko Yamashita, a lecturer at Japan Women’s University.

“In Japan, men ... have never developed a sense of responsibility as a member of a family unit,” she said.

In contrast to America, where men and women seem to be grap­pling with changing roles, many Japanese women do not seem to mind things as they are.

Young women typically bring their boyfriends homemade lunches _ a symbol of maternal love in Japan _ clean their rooms and per­form other motherly tasks, such as washing their dirty athletic uni­forms.

Popeyc, a weekly magazine for men in their late teens and 20s, even suggested using the mother complex as a way to turn women on by gaining their sympathy.

A recent issue contained 46 “maza-con” techniques, including showing an inability to match clothing, wearing wrinkled shirts or helplessly fumbling over the office copying machine. Most im-, portant, it said, is to show “eager­ness, frankness and childishness.”

The article warned, however, that going too far could lead women to believe a man had a “serious mother-complex problem.”

“Basically, all of us men have mother complex to a certain ex­tent,” said Masahiko Murao, an editor at Popeyc.

He said there is a basic under­

standing in Japan that men and women still follow the traditional sex roles.

The ideal Japanese wife is some­one who does anything for her hus­band, from polishing shoes to cleaning his cars while his head is in her lap, without being asked.

Television dramas and commer­cials make extensive use of the mother complex.

In a popular soap opera, for'ex­ample, the character Fuyuhiko was a 32-year-old banker with mctal- rimmcd glasses and neatly parted hair, a nerd who devoted his free time to personal computers and a butterfly collection.

Although his mother had ar­ranged his marriage to the beauti­ful Miwa a year earlier, Fuyuhiko continued seeking moral support from his mother.

Seiichiro Kijima, the producer, said Lhc Fuyuhikocharactcr boosted the show’s popularity, helping it maintain viewership of more titan 20pcrcent.The 13-part scries ended in September.

“It’s kind of scary,” Kijima said, “but Fuyuhiko represents today’s typical Japanese male.”

Many experts say “maza-con” reinforces the conformity in Japa­nese life. Japanese men, always dependent, lacking a strong sense of maturity and self-identity, tend to be more afraid than others of making mistakes or being embar­rassed, said Teruo Abe, a psychia­trist at Juntendo University Hospi­tal.

But a docile image does not nec­essarily mean docile behavior.

fired some place else. He said the bullets may have just been thrown by a passing car.

“If the bullets were fired here, it would not go unnoticed since 9 mm. gunshots arc very loud. The police would have to dig deeper on this incident,” said Sablan.

Just a few meters away from the site where the bullet casings were found is a station manned 24 hours by police and fire opera­tives from the Department of Public Safety.

It was not determined if the persons manning the station did notice anything suspicious.

Police Crime Scene Head Technician Sgt. Frank Kapileo who responded to the scene after receiving a call collected the bul­

let shells for analysis at the DPS crime laboratory.

“We still have no leads on this incident although we’ll try to de­termine what time they were fired. Butfrom all indications, they were not fired here but merely thrown here maybe to scare off people,” said Kapileo.

Speaker Villagomez, in a state­ment he made after the bullet casings were found, asked those responsible to stop resorting to these dastardly acts to prevent members of the Legislature from doing their job.

“This is extremely disturbing although no shots were fired here. Considering that the casings were disposed of here, they must be up to something,” said the speaker.

A G : N o . . continued from page 1

’The way I look at Mr. Naraja’s offer, i t seems like the AG is saying that we do not have the authority to subpoena CUC for the records the committee needs for its over­sight investigation,” said Villagomez.

He said he does not want to set a precedent that will threaten to diminish future legislatures’ sub­poena powers.

“The integrity of the House is at stake here. The constitution gives us the authority to compel anyone or any documents needed for any legislative investigation, so I do not think it’s right to say we abused in that authority,” said the speaker.

He added that the contempt charge should set the record straight on what the power of Lhc legislature is.

“It is our feeling that the only way to assert the constitutional

right of the House to the subpoe­naed documents is through the contempt proceeding as provided by Commonwealth law,” the speaker said in an October 14 letter to Naraja.

Meanwhile, negotiations are in progress for the prospective spe­cial prosecutor to try the con­tempt charge.

According to Cool, lawyer Dennis O’Shea has already sub­mitted a proposal and will soon start negotiating for a contract.

Earlier, prominent Saipan law­yers Tim Bellas, Richard Pierce, and Edward Manibusan declined the job citing conflict of interest and prior commitments as reasons. Lately, Lawyer John Biehl was also said to have turned in a letter declining the job of prosecuting Ray Guerrero for alleged con­tempt.

“We’re just doing our work here. There’s no need to threaten the lives of our members. They should just give us the chance to do our job,” he added.

Another House member, Rep. Herman T. Palacios, also aired his apprehension on what the spent bullet shells meant.

“It’s a reminder and a warning for us lawmakers to watch out. At first it seems they are joking, but I can see this is becoming a bit too dangerous not to be taken seri­ously,” Palacios said.

Since the August shootings, strict security measures were un­dertaken at the House of Repre­sentatives, including the logging in and out of visitors coming to the Legislature building.

‘This building should be se­cured duringday and night. You ’II never know when the culprits would come and do their thing,” said Duefias.

Congressman Stanley Torres House Floor LeaderEight Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature P.O. Box 610 Saipan, MP 96950

Dear Congressman Torres:

We understand that you are not only a resident of Saipan, CNMI, and a person of Northern Marianas descent, but also a Congressman acting in the capacity of House Floor Leader. Nevertheless, we cannot help wondering if you are really considering the best interest of the people of Northern Marianas descent. Accordingly, we hereby request that you make sincere replies in this same newspaper at the earliest possible time to our questions and comments listed below.

(I·)

1. MPLC entered into a lease agreement with Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. covering an area commonly known as the Samoan Housing Area in Garapan, Saipan. In doing so MPLC performed its fiduciary duty to persons o f Northern Marianas descent in compliance with Article XI, §4 (a) and (c) of the CNMI Constitution. This lease agreement was brought into question by you in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court alleging a breach of these duties by MPLC. The Superior Court dismissed your case. The court found no breach of the MPLC’S fiduciary duties. Why then are you still against our project?

2. MPLC and Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. never ignored the resolutions recommended by the Sixth Legislature, Seventh Legislature and Saipan Legislative Delegation, but fully respected them as the best policies for co-prosperity and co-existence in the Samoan Housing Area. We have agreed to construct a beachside park in the Samoan Housing Area for the people of the CNMI, as well as an access road, parking lot and playing facilities for children on the island. Why then are you stiii against our pian?

3. The Garapan area, where many commercial facilities and residences did and do exist is deemed by the CNMI government as a commercial and resort zone, and is an important place for supporting the CNMI economy. The American Memorial Park, the largest park on the island, and-the Sugar King Park as well as others are in this area. Studies have shown that the area has far more park area than is generally required. Under such circumstances, don’t you think the most efficient way of using the Samoan Housing Area for the benefit of people of CNMI descent is to construct a resort hotel together with a beachside park, consideration being given to both the development and the conservation or naturai and environment?

4. We would like to know your basic ideas for reserving the Samoan Housing Area for a park.

(1) Nakamoto Enterprises, Ltd. is prepared to purchase and transfer to the Department of Natural Resources the private land which partially blocks access to the beach area. This land covers some 3,000 square meters. How would you create sufficient funds for acquiring this land, which will cost several million dollars?

contemplate?

(2) Where would you find sufficient money for the construction of the park Itself which wifi require several million dollars?

(3) On Saipan there are currently parks whose area equals more than three times the reasonable park and recreation facilities level per person established by the United States National Park Sen/Ice. In the Garapan area alone there are over 500,000 square meters of parks. In fact, Saipan’s largest park, American Memorial Park (with almost 400,000 square meters ot land) Is within walking distance of the Samoan Housing Area. The area extending t50 feet from the coast around the entire island is also reserved as recreational area. As of November, 1990 there were over 75 prioritized park projects and 11 unprioritized projects that were in need of over $14 million in funds for upgrades to everything from restroom facilities to access roads. In addition to all these extensive parks and facilities, some of which are in dire need of upgrades, you now intend to construct a park in the Samoan Housing Area with a required outlay of several million dollars. Can you provide us with your objectives and reasonaoie basis for such a development?

(4) A re you able to provide a schedule for the start and completion of the park and required facilities construction which you

5. The company is prepared to invest several tens of millions of dollars in the construction of afirst class resort hotel, establish a recreation center for the elderly, contribute large sums of money for infrastructure development in the Garapan area and was further obligated to train and employ local persons in hotel management. When the resort hotel together with the beach-side park is opened, which is scheduled for 1996, the CNMI government will gain tax revenues of some US$3,000,000 each year, which will amount to some US$75,000,000 over the 25 year contract period on a simple calculation basis, and will give the CNMI government an opportunity to appropriate those tax revenues for its infrastructures and its education, medical, and other essential facilities to be further strengthened in the interest of the CNMI descent at present and in the future. In addition, the people on the island will be able to enjoy as many recreational activities as they want at the beach-side park, vlease give us y our objectives and reasonable grounds for your park and facilities construction at a cost of several million dollars — at the sacrifice of not oniy the CNMI government’s gaining such tax revenues but also the elderly center and the infrastructure development in the Garapan area, both of which w e have agreed with MPLC to construct under the lease agreement.

(II.)1. We understand that many developers have leased public land in the Commonwealth. We are also aware, as you must be, that virtually none of these large scale

developments are on schedule. Nakamoto Enterprises, LTD. is ready to objectively prove that it is one of the few developers which are capable of starting its project within this year. The board of directors ot MPLC will also perform its fiduciary duty to faithfully insure the use of public land for the benefit of the people of CNMI descent in permitting this project to continue. Your lawsuit against MPLC and your allegation against the Directors for a supposed breach ot their fiduciary duty must have caused them to entertain numerous fears and mental anguish. If they should eventually fail to make a proper judgment from an objective view point, you may be blamed by the public.

You are not only an individual but also a man holding an important position in the legislature. Thus, your remarks and actions will have a large influence on the public. The CNMI’s economic activities are in a close cooperative relationship with the United States and Japan, and we believe the CNMI's communication and exchange with other Aslan and Pacific Nations will be enhanced in the future. You have the responsibility to insure balanced economic prosperity for the benefit of persons of Northern Marianas descent at the present time and in the future, while you conserve the CNMI’s naturai environment. For that matter, you are the one on whom the fiduciary duty is imposed, and who is obligated to observe it faithfully. Your interference with our lease agreement with MPLC and attempts to deprive the people of the CNMI of the very real economic and social benefits which will be realized by the proper development of the Samoan Housing Area has left us with no alternative but to seek court action to remedy this matter. Hopefully, further action on our part will not be necessary and we look forward to your comments and suggestions to avoid further court proceedings.

2. We were encouraged to make a decision on the construction of a resort hotel together with beachside park because of a suggestion of yours and the public, that such a park is required for persons of CNMI descent. In order to provide this we have made great concessions as well. We are confident that as a result of your decision we will be able to exchange opinions with you someday on the best method of constructing a beachside park, and that we can assist CNMI in its growth and prosperity by paving the way for co-prosperity and co-existence of the conservation of the natural environment. . . the fundamentals of human life. . . and the act of development. . . the fundamentals of social and economic prosperity.

TOKYO (AP) - The US dollar opened lower against the Japanese yen in Tokyo on Monday, while share prices fell in early trading. The dollar opened at 119.79 yen, down 0.74 yen from Friday’s close at 120.53 yen but slightly above its New York close Friday at 119.50 yen.

On the stock exchange, the 225- issue Nikkei Stock Average stood at 17,154.76 points as of 9:30 a.m„ down 215.05 points or 1.24 percent from Friday’s close.

The Tokyo Stock Price Index of

all issues listed on the first section shed 8.34 points, or 0.64 percent, after the first half-hour of trading, to stand at 1,304.93 points. On Friday, theTOPIX lost 13.38 points, or 1.01 percent, to close at 1,313.27 points.

Junko Hamamoto, a currency dealer at the Citibank, said the dollar was trading in a narrow range be­tween 119.53 yen and 119.83 yen, with little action.

“Despite a lot of moves on over­seas markets, there’s absolutely nothing going on in Tokyo,” she

said.In New York, the dollar was sold

against the yen because of worries about the US economy but bought againstmostmajorcurrencies after the B ank of Engl and cu t key lend­ing rates. Lower interest rates gen­erally make a nation’s currency less attractive to investors.

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you thrive on associat­ing with other driven, dedicated and goal-oriented people who use their tal­ents and their imagination to further their ambitions and realize even the most improbable personal and profes­sional visions. You, too, are just this way — but you are likely to escape the trap of throwing yourself mind, body and soul exclusively into self-serving endeavors at the expense of your emo­tional and spiritual health. You, more than those you associate with, under­stand the need for balance.

You have a number of artistic tal­ents, and though you may not pursue these in a professional arena you are sure to explore them fully as hobbies. As long as you remember to combine professional ambition with those ac­tivities which provide personal con­tentment, success can be yours.

Also bom on this dats ar·: Dr. Joyce Brothers, psychologist; Art Buchwsld, columnist.

To see what is in store for you to ­morrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday sta r be your daily guide.

The meaning of Mormon

According to the Mormons, God is a material being, who created the uni­verse out of pre-existing matter. All individuals can be saved and many will become divine. Most other beliefs are traditionally Christian. The Mor­mons regard mainline churches -as apostate, corrupt. A reorganized church (founded in 1860) rejects most Mormon doctrine and practice except the Book of Mormon.

Some 200,000 Allied troops partici­pated in the ground offensive of the Gulf War to expel Iraq from Kuwait. The attacks began across a 300-mile area west of the gulf. U.S. Marines and Army airborne and armored units were joined ,by units from France, Great Britain', Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. Some Allied forces struck directly into Kuwait, but oth­ers crossed from Saudi Arabia into Iraq far to the west, beyond the Iraqi defensive lines. U.S. and British a r­mored un'ts mi d first north, then northeast, and out-flanked elite Iraqi Republican Guard forces dug in north of Kuwait.

Missingpersonsought

THE PHILIPPINE Consulate of Saipan has sounded th$ alarm for a missing Filipino being sought by his ailing mother, who wishes to see him.

Any information on the whereabouts of Jose F. Madreo, who was reported to be an em­ployee of Rey Anthony Repair Shop, will be appreciated, ac­cording to Consulate Adminis­trative Officer Daniel L. Lorenzo.

Philippine Consul General for Guam G.G. sought the help of the Saipan Consulate to locate the missing maa. Any information on Madreo

can be forwarded to the Consulate offices in San Jose at Tel. nos. 234-1848 to 49 or at P.O. Box 731 CK. Fax No. is 234-1849.

Northern Saipan will be officially on by early morning today.

Guerrero in addressing the big crowd that gathered to celebrate the momentous event, said more than 80% of the old asbestos pip­ing for water on the island have already been replaced with the the more modem poly-vinyl- chloride (PVC) pipes.

“Wehavemuchsafer waternow after we have replaced most of the island’s water pipes, except for the stretch between Gualo Rai to the Northern Marianas College and the area from Microl to Guma Cappuchino,” said Guerrero.

He praised the hardworking men of CUC’s Water Division under its chief, Rudy Sablan for working diligently on the project.

Guerrero also took time to is­sue strong statements against his critics, including some elected officials and the media for what he termed as “unfair reporting.”

’They can say whatever they want, they won’t bother me any­more. In the end I will be the winner,” Guerrero said as he sud­denly turned emotional about his critics.

According to CUC’s head man, better water service for the people is the most important thing for him.

“All our efforts are for the people. We’re giving everything back to them in the form of good utility services,” he added.

Also among those who spoke on the occasion was Governor Larry I. Guerrero who referred to the new project as another victory in his administration’s “war against utilities.”

“We have promised our people better water, power, and sewer services and we have delivered,” the governor noted.

He vowed that his administra­tion will continue to endeavor to make life easier for the people of the Commonwealth.

Blue Jays 5, Braves 4 in World SeriesATLANTA (AP) - Backup catcher EdSpraguc hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run off career saves leader Jeff Reardon with one out in the ninth inning Sunday night to give theTorontoBlue Jays a5 l· victory over the Atlanta Braves to even baseball’s first international World Scries at one game apiece.

Sprague hit the first pitch frorn Reardon over the left field fence, following a one-out walk to pinch Derek Bell.

It was the first pinch homer by Toronto this year and die 17th in World Series history.

Duane Ward, at one time in the Atlanta organization, got the vic­tory with a perfect inning of relief. Tom Henke pitched the ninth for the save, getting Terry Pendleton on a foul pop for the final out after

plunking pinch-hitter Lonnie Smith and walking two-sport star Dcion Sanders.

The victory ended a string of eight World Series victories by the home team.

David Justice and pinch-hitter Brian Hunter drove in fifth-inning runs as the Braves built a 4-2 lead. Sanders started the rally with a single to right with one out.

Sanders, a Pro Bowl comcrback for the Adanta Falcons with 4.2 speed in the 40, stole second and reached third when catcher Pat Borders’ throw bounced into cen­ter field.

After Pendleton walked, Justice singled in Sanders, sent Pendleton to third and chased Blue Jays starter David Cone, who had a 9-3 record against the Braves when he pitched

for the New York Mcts.Cone, the major league strikeout

leader with a career-high 261, was traded to the Blue Jays on Aug. 27. At the time he had 214 strikeouts, tops in the NL. Braves starter John Smoltz took die strikeout tide on his final startof the season, finishing with 215.

Hunter greeted reliever David Wells with a sacrifice fly to right. Smoltz, MVP of the NL playoffs after winning twice against Pitts­burgh, struck out five of the first six batters and retired the first eight in order. Smoltz, 15-12indicrcgular season, lost his 2-0 lead in the fifth when the Blue Jays rallied after two outs.

Borders walked on a 3-2 pitch and Manuel Lee singled. Cone got his second single of the game,

driving in Borders. Lee and Cone each advanced an extra base on a wild throw to second by first baseman Sid Bream.

Devon White then beat out an infield single to second baseman Mark Lemkc, scoring Lee with the tying run.

Cone was just the third ALpitcher to get a hit in the World Scries since the designated hitter was estab­lished in 1972. He is the first pitcher from that league to get two hits in a Scries game since Detroit’s Mickey Lolich in 1968.

The Blue Jays appeared to have a run in the fourth when Roberto Alomar walked, took second on a wild pitch and went to third on Dave Winfield’s infield grounder.

Alomar, MVP in the AL play­offs after hitting,.423 against Oak­

land, raced to the plate when a pitch rolled away from catcher Damon

Berryhill threw to Smol tz coher­ing the plate and Alomar wascallcd out by AL umpire Mike Reilly, drawing a brief protest from man­ager Cito Gaston.

Television replays showed that Alomar touched the plate before Smoltz made the tag.

Justice walked to open the sec­ond, stole second and was safe at third when shortstop Lee fielded Jeff Blauser’s grounder and hit Justice going into third with the throw. Justice scored on Cone’s wild pitch.

The Braves added another run in the fourth when Bream walked, Blauser singled and Lemkc hit a two-out RBI single to right.
