Serving CNMI for 20 Years

34 days to go: Still no budgetmSm

REPUBLICAN Party Chairman Ben Filial (right) with Malua Peter, latest addition to tne party’s candidates for the House of Representatives.

Peter agrees to run for HouseWOMEN’S Affairs special assistant Malua Peter yesterday officially agreed to run forthe House of Representatives under the Republican Party.

As family members and supporters who gathered at the Carolinian Utt cheered,y, Peter announced She would run in Precinct 3 in an attempt to become the fourth woman legislator in the CNMI.

“I have been working for women’s involvement in govern - ment as well as better education

for our people. I had a chance to do that in my current capacity, but I felt I could do more as a legislator,” she said an interview.. Peter was endorsed along with

incumbent Representative Jesus P. Mafnas during the Republican Party general membership meeting on aug. 13 to fill the vacancies left by Reps. Heinz S. Hofschneider and Stanley T. Torres.

The two incumbent lawmakers were dropped from the party’s roster of official candidates be

cause of their refusal to support the Guerrero-Manglona gubernatorial tandem.

Mafnas is a long-time party stalwart until he was left out of the party slate in the last legislative elections. He officially accepted the nomination during the party’s August 14 kickoff rally. ·

Malua was chosen after the party deemed it appropriate that someone from the Carolinian community be included in the six- man slate for Precinct 3. She was

THE LATEST attempt to pass partial budgets for government agencies failed after Senators Edward U. Maratita and David M. Cing walked out of a conference meeting Wednesday.

“I believe we are not going to accomplish anything with this conference,” Maratita said in an interview yesterday. “This is sad because the Senate has been very compromising on this year’s budget deliberations.”

“I can sec there is no sense going into conference anymore because I cannot see a willingness to compromise on the part of the House conferees,” Cing said in a separate interview.

The Senate also issued a statement entitled “House does not want budget” after the collapse of the talks Wednesday. “Despite the illusion of passing a budget and the rhetoric concerning meeting the needs of the various departments within the Commonwealth, the House actions speak louder than words,” the Senate said.

The upper house said the conference committee earlier agreed to present the budget before the entire House and Senate and the latter opposed a piecemeal budget but the House still passed a piecemeal budget.

Even then, the Senate still approved two of three House bills providing for the budgets of government agencies. The House, however, rejected the amendments from the Senate.

“It is clear that the House is not serious about passing any bud

get,” the Senate said. “If they were, they would not have kept it for over ten months before even pass-' ing anything.”

In response, Representative Pete P. Reyes, who heads the House budget conferees, released the following statement to the Variety yesterday:

The old excuses from the president of the Senate continue to distort the facts regarding the budget impasse for fiscal year 1993 between the Senate and the House of Representatives.

At the request of the Senate conferees, the House introduced a three-part budget package in the form of House Bills 8-309, 310 and 311 on Aug. 11, 1993. The first part HB 8-309, contained funding for the following agencies: Office of the Washington Representative, judiciary, legislative branch and other autonomous entities which do not get funded from the general funds.

The second part (HB 310) contains the following agencies: Department of Public Safety, Public School System, Department of Health and Environmental Services, Northern Marianas College and Board of Election.

Finally, HB 8-311 contained funding for the remaining activities of the government which the House of Representatives viewed to be controversial. Nothing in conference committee report no.8-3 which was signed by die Senate and House conferees and endorsed by the president of the

Junior Achievers: Not for business onlyANTONETTE T. Reyes and Ronna Daley joined the Junior Achievers program for different reasons. They agree, however, that the program has changed them and has prepared them for future endeavors.

Anionette, 15, a 10th grader at Marianas High School, and Ronna, 18, who just graduated from Grace Christian Academy, represented the CNMI in the four- day International Student Forum 0SF) in Indiana last month. ISF, a gathering of Junior Achievers from 22 countries, is supported by America ’ s corporate giants 1 ike Coca Cola.

The Junior Achievers program teaches students (9th-12th grade) how to run a business, but neither Antonette nor Ronna is interested in becoming entrepreneur someday.

Filipinos urged to obey NMI lawsPHILIPPINE Consul Renato Villapando has called onhis countrymen who are temporarily residing in the Northern Marianas to respect and obey the laws of their host government and avoid involvement in any irregularities that might ruin the reputation of the entire Filipino community here.

Villapando made the call during the induction of officers of BIBAK (Association of Filipinos coming from the provinces of

Baguio, Ifjigao, Benguet, and Kalinga-Apayao) at the Susupe Regional Beach Park last week.

He said the mistakes of a few might be misinterpreted as a representation of the attitudes and behavior of the whole Filipino community.

At the same time, the consul reminded his countrymen to observe the following advisories through the weekly TV program “Sa Konsulado” at Marianas Cable Vision (MCV) Bayanihan

Channel 14.1. Filipino citizens should al

ways be in possession of a valid passport, entry permit, work permit, or other proofs of their immigration status;

2. Do not entrust your passport to an unauthorized person. Keep your passport in a safe and secure place while in a foreign land;

3. Always maintain xerox copies of yourpassport, permits, birth and marriage certificates, and other important documents;

5. Legitimate seamen should have a valid seaman’s book, passport, visa(s) and contract of employment duly processed by the appropriate authorities;

6. Upon arrival at the foreign destination, please report to the consulate or embassy, indicating your whereabout and purpose of travel abroad. You should have a round trip airfare and a reasonable amount of money if you are a tourist;

7. Tourist taking jobs in a foreign country are violating the laws of that country. Prospective workers should first obtain permission or consult the Philippine consular officer in theircountry of destination;

8. Take note of the address and telephone number of the embassy or consulate, police, hospital, social service agencies, emergency telephone number (such as 911), and do not hesitate to approach or call the same if you meet any problem;

9. Beware of strangers offering or asking you to deliver packages to unknown persons especially if you are unaware of its contents. Be careful in choosing friends;

10. Refrain from engaging in any illegal activities that might lead to your arrest and detention while abroad. Legal services are expensive and the trauma and experience of being detained or charged are intolerable;

11. Once you have decided to return to the Philippines, be sure that the documents issued by the host government abroad are authenticated by the Philippine Con-

Renato Villapando sulate to avoid difficulties in the future, especially if such documents will be used in the Philippines.

12. Learn the dos and don’ts as well as culture, customs and traditions of the foreign land you are sojourning or working in;

13. File your yearly income tax returns promptly with the Philippine Consulate. All Philippine citizens (i.e., holders of Philippine passports) are required by law to file their income taxes with the neatest embassy or consulate. Those “exempted” from paying income tax due to their low income, should also file a tax return at the Consulate. These tax returns are forwarded to the Bureau of Internal Revenue inManilafor their appropriate action. “Pay your taxes willingly and promptly. Citizenship impliesnotonly rights but also obligation” (Pres. Quezon).

14. Try to socialize by joining organizations of your choice and churches of your beliefs, and develop friendship and positive interaction with other individuals, and groups of good standing. Be the ambassadors of goodwill of your country.

She was the last candidate in the Republican Party lineup to officially accept endorsement.

there,” Peter said.She and Mafnas join incum

FORU A Meeting Place For Our □pinions. . .And Yours. . .

“ W h o c a r e s ? ”ONLY 34 days are left before the end of fiscal year 1993, and passage of the budget is nowhere in sight. The Senate, controlled by the coalition of senators from Rota and Tinian, understandably wants more funds, more personnel for the two southern islands. The House, controlled by Saipan representatives, has opposed the use of more funds to pay for salaries of new employees at a time when the Commonwealth government is reeling from a budget deficit.

Acting Governor Benjamin T. Manglona, ever the cool diplomat in the Guerrero administration, is using all his persuasive powers to convince the two legislative houses to pass the long-delayed budget. In a letter to Senate President Juan S. Demapan and Speaker Thomas P. Villagomez last week, Manglona said delivery of essential public services could be curtailed if the fiscal year 1993 budget was not passed in the next several days. It has been a week since Manglona sent the letter, and the budget, now consisting of three bills, is still a boneless proposal.

The House of Representatives, in response to a suggestion from the judiciary, passed three bills to provide money for vital agencies like the Public School System, Department of Public Safety and Department of Public Health and Environmental Services. These agencies were considered non-controversial, so the House did not expect any problem in passing their respective budgets.

As it turned out, the same problems that prevented passage of the single appropriation measure for the government stalled action on the piecemeal budgets.

Judging from their statements, every lawmaker opposes divisiveness. Nobody wants to say that his island should take precedence over the other districts of the Commonwealth; everybody is forthe Commonwealth, as one community, one people.

So, why not pass the partial budgets and let the essential agencies, which should never have been held hostage by petty politics, get their money and serve the people? Why can’t our lawmakers stop thinking about being Saipanese, Rotanese or Tinian(ese?) and use whateverfunds are available to keep the Commonwealth government running and serving all the people of the CNMI? Is it because 1993 is election year, and every incumbent believes that he must get his constituents’ votes at any price?

That is dangerously naive, because such thinking will only bury this government deeper in a financial grave. Lawmakers who have such thoughts are in the extreme of selfishness, summarized in two words: “Who cares?”

I heard through the grapevine that the deceitful few in the GM Team and GOP Officers are trying to muscle their way into the House Leadership for the removal of Representatives Heinz S. Hofschneiderand Stanley T. Torres. The motive is very obvious: To suppress anv further exposure of the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation between now and election dav. Wow, this reminds me of the Plumbers Unit under the Nixon re-election team who tried hard to shut the leaks from within. But most ended up in jail, right?

If one is driven by “blind ambition”, he becomes a very dangerous person in the affairs of our local government. These are the people who see government as a lucrative conduit upon which to feed their “we few” political stalwarts fat contracts at whatever cost as we have seen with CUC. In other words, these people who shy away from the terms accountability and responsibility in order to feed upon the public trough. Do we allow these people to feed upon our government’s largess at the expense of the general public?

Hofschneider and Torres have stood their grounds from day one few “clean and honest” government. It is a difficult self-discipline for any public official to follow because most see their elected or appointed seats as a career. You will have sacrificed the public’s interest

infavor of your career. You end up forging an image of a Mr. Nice Guy who always finishes last These are the kind of public officials who never last more than a term because they do not have any sense of commitment new the courage to fight for what is right They’re the type of people whose motives for being in public office are easily caught by the very people who put them there. And they are the first ones to become history around election time.

I trust the House Leadership won’t succumb to the highly questionable motives of the few deceitful people in the GM Team and the GOP. Whether the GM Team likes it or not, Hofschneider, Torres and their incumbent colleagues will make it back this November. Each will be on the floor of the House of Representatives in January of 1994 to answer the roll call. The public mood, mind you, has shifted from the old and irrelevant guards to the more dynamic, educated, experienced but honest public servants. Is this why the evil geniuses in the GM Camp wanted Hofschneider and Torres out of its slate and the House Leadership?

WASHINGTON — The old adage that crime doesn’t pay is put to a severe test by Medicaid prescription-drug fraud. It’s one of the hottest scams in which physicians, pharmacists, patients and other Medicaid middlemen collude to loot a program intended to serve the poorest of the poor.

“Many perpetrators of prescrip- ti on-drug fraud, even when convicted, profit financially from their crimes,” concludes a recent General Accounting Office study.

The report states: “Even when pursued, cases drag on for years— half of those we reviewed took more than three years to resolve. Penalties are light: Almost no one went to prison, and many offenders retained their connection with the healthcare system — sometimes even continuing as Medicaid providers

— with consequent potential for further violations.”

Medicaid, the largest government health program for the poor, has been plagued by problems with prescription drug diversion for at least the past decade. Yet, the Health and Human Services Department’s Health Care Financing Administra- tion has failed to create any sort of SWAT team to combat fraud and abuse, according to government auditors. When 80 pharmacists were arrested last year for costs US millions Medicaid drug fraud—part of “Operation Goldpill” — the FBI warned it was merely the tip of the iceberg.

One of the schemes singled out by government investigators centers on the so-called “pill-mill” which entails the prescription and distribution of drugs mainly to ob-

continued from page 4homestead subdivision have been hauling water to their new residence everyday since then. Some have even purchased portable generators to allow their children to do their homework Water arxi power services have yet to be extended to residents of this area.

But believe it or not, CUC has extended the same services to the people of Sinapalo H on Rota about a week ago. It (CUQ has gone out of its way to move materials, equipment and manpower to install water and power in this sparsely occupied homestead development.

What about homesteaders in Kagman II who have waited longer than homesteaders in Sinapalo for these essential services? What about sewer for Kagman I and water to fill the waterless or empty firehydrants?

I remember the Lt Governor’s remarks on Saipan Cable Forum when quizzed by a Kagman 11 resident saying that he understands the sentiment being expressed. But did the Ll Governor do anything at all since then to ensure that the people in Kagmai II are accorded the same QUICK SERVICES

recently given to the people of Sinapalo II? Or was he mute because the services bring provided deals directly with his people?

I often wonder how long would taxpayers from Saipan be sacrificed and short-changed when we in fact get to subsidize water and power for Tinian and Rota to the tune of about $7 Million annually? It is obvious gentlemen that the recent emplacement erf water and power in Sinapalo 11 is politically motivated, right’? Nothing can be further from the truth ! These blatant inequities in the manner Saipan Taxpayers have been short-changed will ring loud andclear in our ears, well, for at least two more months.

Furthermore, can CUC please explain to Saipan Taxpayers why it hasn’t disconnected delinquent customers on Tinian and Rota? Don’t these customers use the same services to which CUC is very quick in severing when customers from Saipan fail to pay their utility bills on time? Where is fairness or what is your definition of fairness, gentlemen’?

It is rumored too that the Mayor of Rota owes a sizable amount in utility hills (delinquent for how long?) but has not been disconnected fo r fear that CUC rruiht ruffle the feathers o f a veteran Republican? Ai lokue. but when a poor Tun Jose ■van Tan Maria from Saipan fail to pay their utility bills on time their water and DQWCT is quickly disconnected, huh? There are other horror stories where CUC inflicted hardship on families where handicap or bedridden patients live. I know these stories only too well in that some of their relatives have appealed to members of the House of Representatives for assistance.

If anythin p. friends, it appears too obvious that unless you are fully connected with CUC. you'll get no thin f except the short end q f the Slick. And unless vou can deliver 702 votes, your water and power can he shelved for another year or two per- baps.1Wow, how conveniently have we flaunt our own policies, right? No wonder we haven’t been up to par with what the U.S. Congress has been trying (for two years now) to show us in bold black letters—formulate lasting rather than convenient policies? Nauseating, right’?

Dear Editor:Our contemporary political

struggle is currently being waged/ played out by the main interest groups: the federal government, the private sector and the local people. Our local government’s whole task, indeed, is to successfully reconcile the conflicting agendas of these various groups.

The problem, however, is that our local government is attempting—half-heartedly— to accomplish this during an election year. Moreover, our local government is constrained by the recalcitrant reality that the interests of our business community, local population and federal government, are so diametrically contrary to each other as to render harmonious rec

onciliation woefully inconceivable.

I f we attempt to ascertain the interests of the Feds, for example, we would find that despite the diverse views of many members of Congress and the executive branch, one thing remains clear: That the federal government, as always, is committed to pursuing its own interest, as defined by the national military, economic and political, objectives.

For the Marianas, the federal interest has been, for over forty years, a strategic military interest, first against the Japanese and later against the now dead red menace. If we believe that America and Mr. Miller are sincerely concerned about the plight

of exploited alien workers in Saipan, then we must also believe that America was honestly promoting human rights in the Philippines during the Marcosregime, when she poured hundred of millions, if not billions of dollars, into the Philippine economy. If we.believe that the Feds are seriously interested in protecting our traditional island culture, then we must also believe that America displaced the Bikini islanders because she believed that by nuking the Bikini atoll, Bikini island culture would somehow be enhanced. If we believe that the Feds are interested in our economic expansion, then we must also believe that by destroying our second most significant industry, the

garment industry, we would be adding more money in our economy; that by forcing more taxes on our businesses, more investors would flock here; and that by adopting greater US regulations, including the US minimum wage, entrepreneurship would flourish. The Federal interest, therefore, is American national interest; and in the Marianas that- means maintaining and establishing even greater control through the leverage of addicting Federal funds.

The agenda of the indigenous population is also about maintaining and expanding greater control of their islands; this is known as the Marianas quest for

which are seriously being undermined by the Feds and those locals who demand protectionism (regulations) and bigger government (bureaucracies to enforce those regulations and provide locals with jobs).

Hence, in a very real sense, the Marianas is in political disarray, with her leaders entrenched in the essenceofpolitics; trying toplease conflicting interests simultaneously; the Feds, for funding; the business community, for investment and development; and the local people, ft»* votes.

Drug diversion is Medicaid’s crime of opportunity, and those opportunities are multiplying. By 1996,Medicaidisexpected to spend $10 billion on prescription-drug benefits, or nearly double the 1991 figure of $5.5 billion. Part of the problem is overlapping oversight—five or more state, local and federal agencies have jurisdiction. These drug rings often keep law enforcement engaged in a costly and labor-intensive cat-and-mouse chase.

There’s abrazenness to this fraud, illustrated by examples unearthed by federal investigators; a doctor wrote 2,000perscriptions a month; a pharmacist billing for more than 30 prescriptions a day for a single recipient; one recipient had the same three lab tests five times in four days at three different labs and six prescriptions for Zantac in the same four days at six different pharma

cies. In sum, Medicaid shelled out more than $3,000during an 18-day period for this recipient.

Even in the most egregious cases many of the guilty get off with a wrist slap. The GAO found that die money actually collected in fraud convictions is often a fraction of what was ordered by the court In more than half the cases it examined, restitution was minimal, amounting to $5,000 or less. When restitution was assessed at $20,000 or more, however, Medicaid recovered only a small percentage.

“Neither the Medicaid agency in its monitoring role nor the court probation department charged with collections was aware that the (guilty) had stopped making restitution payments,” the GAO report states. “The probation department had only three officers to cover a caseloadof5,000.”TheGAOfound in its sample that among half of those convicted of drug diversion, penalties were consistently mild and few of those convicted went to prison More than half those convicted suffered no license action, or

even probation.“In addition, the government has

little assurance that individuals or organizations convicted of fraudulent activities will no longer be in a position to defraud the program,” the report continued.

Govemmentauditors found overlap among lists of employees, owners and directors who are under suspicioa The specter of sprawling and sophisticated diversion rings is perhaps the biggest headache for law enforcement.

“We found that law-enforcemenr agencies have not followed financial trails demonstrating that individuals billing Medicaid have used offshore fund transfers to make money defrauded from program operations unrecoverable by US authorities,” according to auditors. As an indication of how far-flung the fraud may be, some of the illicit profits have been traced to the no to- riousBankofCreditand Commerce International, whose recent collapse was associated with charges of political corruption and money laundering.

3 4 d a y s . . .Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives, made any specific mention as to what typeofbudgetlegislationtheSen- ate desired the House to introduce at its Aug. 1 1 regular session. Furthermore, the Constitution does not restrict the introduction of partial or piecemeal budget package legislations.

The president of the Senate is absolutely correct that the action of the House “speaks louder than words”. The House conferees waited patiently for over an hour for the late arrival of the Senate conferees (Senator David Cing- Tinian and Senator Ed Maratita- Rota).

Knowing that Sen. Jesus R. Sablan of Saipan (Chairman of the Senate Fiscal Affairs and the Senate conferees) is off-island attending to his son’s medical needs, I asked the president who will be representing Saipan (as a senatorial district) in the budget conference? I asked this, hoping that the presidenthimself will represent the interest of Saipan. He sat in for Senator Sablan at the last “unsuccessful conference” . When I sensed that he will not be representing Saipan, I asked him to consider appointing Senator Juan S. Torres because he is a Saipan Senator, duly elected by the people of Saipan at- large. The president responded that I respect the decision of the Senate leadership. That is, Senator David Cing and Senator Ed Maratita were sufficient to represent the interest of Saipan.

The people of Saipan at-large was not represented in that conference committee and once more, president Demapan has shown to the people who elected him into office a gross negligent or responsibility and a sad and undesirable leadership ability. Presi

contlnued from page 1

dent Demapan’sreluctance to represent Saipan in the conference committee has to do with the fear that his true motive and loyalty would be exposed. That is, he goes all the way out to protect the leadership of the Senate and his precious chair, and not his constituents in Saipan. He knew that the budget conference was opened to the public and he knew that it was being televised and covered by other local reporters as well. He wouldnot dare openly threaten not to vote for congressman Frank Camacho and me on the upcoming election as he did during the last unsuccessful budget conference because we insisted on protecting the interest of Saipan over anything else. This is a matter of record and in the process of final transcription. It would be devastating politically for the president to threaten us with all the media being there. But he can do that behind close doors and that is why the Senate refused the open meeting concept.

Let us now focus and concentrate on the issue of the budget impasse. The issue of the three- part budget package over the re- introduction of the original House Bill 8-226 is now history and should no longer be raised as a concern. By virtue of the Senate’s action on the two bill (H.B. 8-309 and 310), they acknowledged that partial budget can be entertained. President Demapan himseif said on the third paragraph of his “press release” and I quote: “In this spirit, all the members present but one voted to pass two of the budget bills, as amended by the Senate last week. This included all three Saipan Senators.

The two bills passed were the ones which could be quickly reviewed and minimally amended to meet the needs of the Com

monwealth.” Having read this statement from the president, it would seem that the Senate conferees would move right in and try to address the divisive issues of the budget so that nobody would waste anymore precious time.

The president was not at the conference nor did he appoint any Saipan Senator to represent the interest of Saipan. If he had been there, the least he could have done was to direct his members to sit and discuss the budget, the walkout only reenforced to the people of Saipan what I have been reporting to them through the media that the Senate (including the president) clearly and unquestionably is holding Saipan’s budget hostage. The president, along with his leadership members, will not release Saipan’s budget unless and until the house consent to their demands to bankrupt our government. Once this is done, they will again turn to me and bl ame me for it. Mr. President, the people are noW better informed and still intelligent. So don’t even waste your time and effort trying tomis- lead them. They already caught on to your game. They know of your acting ability and your gift in shedding tears to heighten your ambitious and treacherous actions. Let me tell you that you hurt the people of S aipan and in particular those individuals whose budget is affected under'House Bill 8-309 and 310. the aiiger that they have experienced will long be remem- bered.

You have repeatedly shown your insensitivity along with the Senators from Rota and Tinian over their budget. It would have been less painful if the Senate’s action only affect your senatorial district, but you even extended the pain to the departments in

However, with all the summer fun and excitement of the storms and quake, there is still some unfinished business which we need to tend to. In the summer, we, as parents and/or guardians are most concerned of our children’s personal safety while at the beach, camping, farming, baseball fields or even in the public parks.

With this in mind, I wish to inform parents/guardians with children that the Division of Pub-

Children, especially under the age of five years need protection against polio, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and hepatitis I), These diseases, if contracted, may cause disabling conditions, at times - even death.

The Division of Public Health is happy to inform you that this

My past summer vacations were usually spent unproductively, like going to the beach, hangin’ out with a couple of friends, or just talking over the phone for hours and literally burning the telephone lines. However, I spent this summer differently and productively. I learned a lesson that changed my outlook, and discovered the value of books.

Just a week before school closed I was told that I needed to take

summer classes to earn credits for some subjects wherein I had earn some “F ’ine grades. Boy, there goes my summer, I thought. Well, when summer classes began, you should see the expression on my face when my teacher handed me the book. While reading the first few pages of the “Rope,” I became boned at first... but let me tell you, I learned that in order for a person to really get interested in a book he must be patient. Then, once you get to the last page, believe me, you

literally hate to see it end. In the two months that I attended this summer classes I have finished reading four interesting books, and now folks, I love to read.

So hey, reading books is not a bad idea after all. Trust me, reading a book, a good book, will definitely change your priorities. I recommend that all you people that have nothing to do but relax grab a book and read. Good luck.

Sincerely,/s/Piola B. Camacho

Once more, from Sakisat to JKDear editor

Please, JR, don’t throw in the towel.. . don’t give up. We have only just begun... there are 14 more rounds to go. Just answer the question as truthfully as possible... don’t like. . . just tell the truth... for the truth is always respectable.

I asked you where were you at midnight ofMay 29.. .yougame me a lousy answer that you were at GOP headquarters which was a deep lie. . . you were actually seen driving around the area at As Matuis on May 29 at midnight.

I asked you what did you bring with you to the Republican Party right after the primary election.. . you answered me with nothing buta speechless answer. . . the mere fact

of the matter of what you brought with you to the Republic Party contained nothing in significant substance but a dead cat

I told you that you were “buchie” . . . you responded with a personal attack in an attempt to assassinate my character... you even mentioned the death of my father. . . my 20/20 vision... calling me a “cow milker” . . . etc. . . but in all professional fairness I fully accept and appreciate your criticisms because I know that you are multiplying votes to the favor of Land and Jesse. . . you are simply making things a hundred times worse.

Let meclarify to you whatl meant when I told you “buchie”. You are “buchie” because for the past 12

years of the Republican administration you earned yourpins and stripes with $40,000per annum... Suwaso was you leisure kingdom to driveyour golf balls . . . white shoes___white pants... white shirt.. white pick up truck... all had been served to you for your glory and luxury enjoyment

JR, it’s never too late to say you’re sorry to the Republican Party while there is still ample time to apologize .. .or else face the pain of a big fat whip by a buckle belt from Uncle Larry . . . don’t eat that apple over there (v else you will become an applecrat

u p g r a d e l i f e - s a v i n g s k i l l sTWO MORE emergency medical technicians from die Department of Public Safety upgrade their life- saving abilities, raising the standards of pre-hospital care in the Commonwealth.

Michael Takai and Augustine Dosalua took and successfully passed the national standard exam for the emergency medical technician-ambulance.

According to the emergency medical services coordinator Jerry Allison, the national registry exam is the highest standard of achievement for an emergency medical technician-ambulance (EMT-A) and is recognized as the level of certification for the EMT -A in over 27 states.

In order to qualify for the exam, bothTakai and Dosalua had to take

and successfully complete the Department of Transportation’s 150- hour basic level emergency medical technician ambulance course.

Allison says being a registered EMT automatically qualifies both Takai and Do6ahra for the paramedic program, which is thehighestlevelof training for an emergency medical services professional.

Michael Takai is currently a fire cadet with the 4th Fire Cycle Academy. Takai is expected to graduate from the academy next spring and upon graduation will join other EMT’s at the Saipan fire department.

Augustine Dosalua has been a firefighter/EMT withtheDepartment of Public Safety in Tinian for approximately two years.

This brings to DPS a total of five registered EMT’s.

Guam quake causes change in school mealsTHE FOOD service program of the Public School system wishes to inform parents and students that there will be a slight deviation from the fourcyclemenuasrecentlypuWished due to unanticipated shipping problems caused by die earthquake that struck Guam on August 8.

The food service program will as closely as possible follow the menu but will make substitutions as needed (censure thatthechildramourschools receive nutritious breakfasts and lunches.

Thefbodserviceprogramcortracts with 37 local vendors which supply the food products such as chicken, poric, chopped steak, milk, apples, oranges,ccmjnixedvegeiabies,bread, etc. saved to the students.

These vendors are experiencing difficulty in securing timely shipment of containers of food which are usually transhipped through Guam and are now being transhipped through other ports.

As a result, the food service program is working in tandem with the vendors to make substitutions such as meat loaf in place of turkey roll with gravy, canned peaches in place erf fresh oranges, peas inplaceofceasar’s salad, etc.

3 4 d a y s . . .Tinian and Rota under HB 8-309 and 310.

The question is: Is it truly the desire of the Senate to have the budget passed? The other question is: Why do they insist on changing the definition of FTE from “One FTE = to one employee” into “one FTE is equal to more than one employee”?

Knowing that the use of lapsed fends will result in bringing the government deeper into deficit, whydotheyinsisttousethelapsed funds anyway? Why do they want to elevate the reprogramming authority of the two senatorial district mayors to that of the governor? Isn’t the governor representing all the people in the CNMI? Could it be that something terrible already happened and the passage of the budget is the only means of legitimizing such action? It appears that the president is aggressively pursuing the inclusion of those three concerns listed above. Could it be possible that he knew something that he was not sharing with the members of the House? If something is found which confirms this suspicion, the president has a lot of explanation to do. And this is not limited only to the explanation of his apparent disloyalty to Saipan, but also (in my opinion) his aggressive effort to advocate the budget demands of Rota and Tinian.

Sure, it’s easy for president Demapan to say that the House conference members cannot put aside their ego and own agendas long enough to accept the Senate’s amendments. But the House has maintained all along that they want clean* honest and fair budget. There is nothing “clean” about changing the definition of FTE, there is nothing “honest” about the Senate’s reprogramming requests, and there is nothing “fair” about using the lapsed funds when it will serve to adversely and permanently injure the fiscal year 1994 budget. In the final analysis it would be self-destructive to the entire people of Saipan, Tinian and Rota. When the time to place the blame on you, Mr. President, you could not even win a seat in the municipal council.

Finally, what relationship does the budget impasse have to do with the president’s remarks that “ these very same members of the House are the ones who lead the impeachment campaign against the governor late last year and other maneuvers to disrupt, hinder or discredit the administration.” He further claimed that “ these very same representatives sat with the Senate and listened to the Senators ’ opposition to a piecemeal approach to our budget duties. However, again, the Senate bit the bullet and agreed to once again attempt to reach some type of compromise.” the Senate did not attempt to compromise. They did not bite the bullet. They walked out of the conference before it even started. There was faith action by the Senate from the very start, they used their desire to have an open meeting in Tinian and Rota as an excuse to avoid discussing their demands in pub-

corrtlnuoci from page 7

lie. The ‘¡open meeting issue” was a convenient excuse not to discuss their demands openly and you, Mr. President, of all people should know that to be a fact. As it stands, there is absolutely no logic in trying to have three open meetings in all senatorial districts. You pressed the House members not to lose hope for a budget when the House members were already content to a continuing resolution.

In a last ditch attempt to cooperative with the Senate, we introduced what the House felt could spare the most desperate departments in our government from

David Cing the “ grid-lock hold” of the Senate. In simple English terms, we hope that the Senate will not hold

Ed Maraña Pete Reyesthose department hostage any- and 3 1 1 hostage without a doubt,more. And yes, Tinian and Rota, Mr. president, you are a part ofareholdingHouseBill8-309,310 this.

Junior.. .continued from page 1grammer," Anlonette said in an interview Tuesday.

“I want to go into criminal investigation,” Ronna said.

Junior Achievers caught Antonetie’s interest while she was taking a business course at MHS.

“I did not have much extra-curricular activities so I took everything that was presented to me (like Junior Achievers), according to Ronna. She participated in Junior Achievers for three years.

Under the Junior Achievers program, students organize themselves into abusiness company. Each contributes a dollar as equity investment.

Antonette’scompany was called Micronesian Achievers, sponsored by Micronesian Telecommunications Cap. The “company” produced personalized glasses and t- shirts.

During the short life of Micronesian Achievers (one se-

mester) it produced 500 t-shirts and three to four boxes (12 glasses to a box) of the special drinking glasses. All the t-shirts were sold, while some of the glasses were not.

At Grace Christian, Ronna was president of Good Choice, which alsomade t-shirts, with tourists and teenagers as the primary markets.

Tbecompanyrealizedanetprofit of $3,000, the most profitable among the Junior Achievers companies in the Commonwealth. The income was distributed to the 30 student-stockholders (down from the original 60) as dividends.

If they were so good in business and they don’t plan to go into business, how would Junior Achievers and ISF benefit them?

“At Junior Achievers I learned a lot, basically how to be a good leader, how to take control of the situation” Ronna said.

“I never really liked or had afeel f a business but I know that if I ever cone to it I will be well-prepared,” she said.

Antonette said her training in teamwokandcommunicatingwith

people would help her even in ancn- business career.

She has been working since she was 13, starting as a bagger at J.C TenorioEnaeiprises,accoidingtoher father Julian. She now works at BigDipper, anioecreamconopany,whose managementaxxxirages suggestions from employees, just like at Junior Achievers.

“Junior Achievers prepares you to handle life,” Rama said “When you talk to people in a sales pitch it’s basically lib», making new friends.·21

“Before J was shy.Ididn’tfed like I knew anything. In joining you realize how much you can do,” she said

Julian Q. Reyes, who accompa- niedhis daughter to Indiana, said that at ISF students learned to work with other people, different nationalities, religion a coktr.

This year’s ISF was a special gathering becauselSF was celebratingits 50th anniversary.

“There’s such a sense of unity, no prejudice,” Ronna said. “Majority of the people are very open. People come to you, specially when they learn you’re from an island” (NL)

T a n p r o p o s e s p u b l i c p a n e l

t o m o n i t o r g a r m e n t w o r k e r sGARMENT manufacturer Willie Tan bas proposed the creation of an independent, community- based committee to monitor the working and living conditions of factory workers.

In a letter to Saipan Mayor Jesus DL. Guerrero Monday, Tan invited continuous scrutiny of bis factories to determine whether there is truth to allegations of“exploitation and harsh labor conditions” depicted by the mainland press last year.

“I am committed to show the people of the CNMI and the US that we have worked hard in improving working and living conditions for all our employees in our factories,” Tan said in a statement released yesterday.

“We have spent over $1.5 million already in improving our factories’ conditions and will immediately correct any deficiency discovered,” he said

Despite the progress he is making in improving the working and living standards of his employees, Tan said public criticism against his factories continued, both here and in the mainland.

Tan is president of the L&T Group of Companies, the biggest garment producer in Saipan.

"The criticism and problems pointed outin 1991 and 1992 were indeed issues that needed to be addressed,” he said

“I have worked very hard Over the last several years to ensure that these types of problems never occur again.”

Tan’s factories hugged mainland headlines in 1991 after the US Department of Labor filed a lawsuit against five of his factories for non-payment of overtime.

Although the case ended with a $9 million settlement last year, the lawsuit has already attracted media attention to the prevailing labor situation on Saipan, leading to reports about slave labor con-

ditions.Those reports generally pic

tured Saipan garment factories as sweat shops,

“where workers work long periods behind barb-wired, guarded fences.”

In his letter to Guerrero, Tan urged an unbiased inquiry into the condition of his factories to come up with the real picture on how workers are treated in his factories.

“I would like to propose a committee composed of reputable CNMI businessmen and citizens tobe tasked to come up with guidelines for monitoring of the working and living standards. I will completely open up my factory doors and will provide 100% management cooperation to the committee,” Tan said.

Tan’s proposal marks the second time that he asked for an independent review of his gar-

ment firms.The accounting firm of Deloitte

& Touche is currently monitoring all of the companies’ payroll activities, with information being given directly to the US Department of Labor and the CNMI Department of Commerce and Labor.

“I feel the best way to truly show the community that we have improved is to let them inspect and see first hand the current con-

Willie Tanditions. My management team and I have a genuine concern for our employees and will continue -to maintain and upgrade if necessary,” Tan said.

a t o r u r g e s p a n e l t o s t o p ‘ p e e p i n g T o m ’ i n v e s t i g a t i o nMANILA (AP) - A senator has ugedaSoaateaxnmit£№io<lrcp an inquiry iotorepots that some, of lfae courtiy’s best known exi- tettainmgo to Bninei as prostitutes.

Sen. Raul Roco, in a letter to SeaArnalXminiqueCosetciig, chairwoman of the Cotmnttee Ot Women and Family Affairs, st^tbshei^dxwldbestcpped because witnesses were appearing raxier an insinuation cf immorality and wrongdoing.

’I t » nothing but a peeping T W inquiry, k violates rights to privftywilhoutany reasonable, k isiative purpose,” said Roco, the chamber’s chairman of the justice and human rights committee. "They must prove their imcceace instead of being presumed innocent.”

Sen. Ernesto Maceda, widely accused of “exposing” spectacular though often unproven - cases of corruption, requested the probebecause of rumors and tabloid reports that Filipino actresses,models andsingers were visiting the oil-rich sultanate for prostitution under die guise of entertainment

five other movie stars invited by tire canmittee failed to show up. They will be called when the hearing resumes on Sept 7.

Roco also said a further continuation of the probe could backfire,leading tothe“continu-. atkn of the exploitation of the Filipino women instead.”

He recommended the chan- ber try to come up with “high minded legislation,” instead of “high-profile investigations.”

Two other senators, Arturo Tdentino and Ernesto Herrera, made similar requests.

At the start of the hearings Tuesday, Rufifa Gutierrez, the country’s representative at the Miss Worid pageant, appeared before the committee to tearfully deny the allegation.

Nfiss Gutierrez, alsoone of the country’s fast rising popular young stars, said the allegations may jeopardize hex chances of winning the November pageant to ’oe held in South Africa.

In Brunei, a government spokesman, who requested that neither be nor his office be identified, played down die allegation.

‘This is just astory,news item,” die official said “We are surprised We don’t know on what basis orpremise they are making die allegations.”

Several Manila newspapers, citing Filipino diplomats, said Brunei’s leader Sultan Hassanal BoDdah was upset by the reports.

‘Tbope that he isupset enough to have ordered an investigation and a stop to this wholesale imporatatian of young Rlipina women,” Maoeda said

Maceda said up to 1,000 filipino women go to die kingdom everyyeartoworkasprostitules.

p r o b e o f A q u i n o m u r d e rBy Oliver Teves

MANILA (AP) -Imelda Marcos said Thursday she favored reopening the investigation into the murder of former President Corazon Aquino’s husband die event that led to the collapseoftheMarcos administration

“I always favor everything to be put in die right perspective so the truth will surface,” die widow of former President Ferdinand Marcos told reporters. “It is always good to

know the truth so that we clarify this issue very clearly."

The Aug. 21,1983, assassination of Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. sparked massive protests that led to the “people power revolution” that ousted Marcos three years later and thrust Mrs. Aquino to the presidency. Aquino, a former senator and opposition leader, was shot moments after returning from self-imposed exile in theUnitedStatestochaUengeMarcos.

Sixteen soldiers were convicted in

September 1990 of murdering Aquino. But the trial under Mrs. Auino’s administration and another oneunderMarcosfailedtDdetemiine the mastermind

Sen Bias Ople filed a resolution urging the Senate to conduct another investigation to determine the mastermind

However, many senators, including Aquino supporters, rejected his proposal.

Maiu* claimed Aquino was killed

by a Communist-hired assassin, RolandoGalman, who alsowas killed by soldiers.

Asked if she still believes that Galman killed Aquino, Mrs. Marcos replied, “I really don’t know, that’s, why it’s so confusing.”

Mrs. Marcos said Mrs. Aquino’s charges that Marcos masterminded tire murder were just “an easy justification of her existence as president”

She saidftrerewasnoreasonfor tire Marcoses to kill Aquino.

C o n s u l a t e l i s t s m a r r i a g e r e q u i r e m e n t sTHE PHILIPPINE Consulate has issued new requirements for Filipino citizens desiring to apply for license or certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage with non- Filipinos in the CNMI.

These new requirements and procedures are also designed to check the actual marital status of the contracting parties. Repeats reaching the consulate revealed that there were instances where marriage licenses or legal capacity to contract marriage

applications-were received from persons discovered to have current lawful spouses.

CNMIauthoritiesexpressedsimi- lar concerns which include false statements regarding lawful capacity to many, in violation of bigamy laws. The married party on the other hand, who sought divorce to become eligible to marry has failed to provide fairnotice to the original spouse who usually reside in the Philippines.

Accordingly, a person convicted of bigamy is punishable by imprisonment of not more than one year, while those guilty of petjury may be imprisoned for a period of not more than five years.

The Philippine Consulate said it would strictly adhere to the requirements of a minimum waiting period toenablethem to publiciy announced the application for marriage licenses or legal capacity to get married both in the CNMI and in the Philippines.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Urgent reform is needed to keep China’s economy from growing too fast, World Bank economists said Wednesday. They recommend tougher management rather than more decentralization.

“A failure to manage the economy and avoid inflation is the single largest threat now to the overall success of the reform program,” the economists said in a paper assessing China’s situation through June 1993.

The document by Peter Harrold and Rajiv Lall of the bank’s China division said, however, that the situation is not out of control and a series of reforms could cool China’s “overheated” economy. Economies are in trouble when fast growth causes excessive demand, inflation, shortages, rapid increases in property values and speculation.

China’seconomy grew 12.8 percent last year, compared with 7.2 percent in 1991 and 3.8 percent in 1990. Growth into mid-1993 was at an annual rate of about 14 percent, the report said.

It called China's economy “half- reformed,” adding, “It is critical that this situation should impel the government to move rapidly to deepen a wide range of reforms,” particularly those that will allow

management of the economy.ttrecommendedtaxreform,ptice

reform, steps to encourage savings and reduced import barriers as critically needed measures.

The economists said that Chinese authorities took some steps towards reform last year but “concrete measures have yet to be takea”

The report decried the “widely held notion in China that centralization of authority is contrary to reform, and that all decentralization is good for reform.”

A key challenge, it said, “will be to overcome local opposition in this regard and to unify views in favor of an aggressive program to strengthen macroeconomic management capability.”

Itrecommended strong measures in fiscal, financial and trade reform andsuggested that the Chinrdr government create labor markets rather than enterprises, regulate competition rather than prices, manage health insurance rather than health care and build roads rather than factories.

“The market economy does not necessarily require less government, just different government,” the report concluded, “and in many reform areas, defining this new role for government, and designing appropriate new institutions is the challenge to be addressed.”

HONG KONG (AP) - Lord Kadoorie, the last of Hong Kong’s fabled taipans - the tycoons who transformed the British colony from barren island to economic jewel, died Wednesday. He was 94.

China Light and Power, the electricity company that Kadoorie led for 57 years and that powered Hong Kong’s post-World War II industrial miracle, said the financier died of natural causes in Hong Kong’s St. Teresa Hospital.

The son of a Baghdad Jewish immigrant, Lawrence Kadoorie was bom June 2,1899, at the peak of the British Empire and in the year Queen Victoria died.

A survivor of the Japanese invasion and the Communist takeover of China, Kadoorie was also the first Hong Kong-born man nominated to the British House of Lords.

Acting Gov. Sir David Ford, in a statement of condolence to Kadoorie’s family on behalf of the Hong Kong government, described him as “one of our outstanding citizens."

“ He was a businessman of ex* traordinary vision and was the driving force behind massive investment projects which will serve

Hong Kong’s interests well into the next century,” he said.

Hong Kong Radio said Kadoorie was “ the last of Hong Kong’s old-style taipans” - the foreign dynamos who built Hong Kong into a world financial center.

Kadoone’s father, Elly Kadoorie, arrived in Hong Kong in 1880 to work for the Sassoons, another eminent Far Eastern Jewish family.

Moving into China trade, he made a fortune stockbroking and invested in utilities in Shanghai, founding China Light and Power. He was knighted in 1917.

But Kadoorie family fortunes tumbled after Japan seized Hong Kong in 1942. The family was kept in a prison camp, where Elly Kadoorie died, and the sumptuous Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon, a jewel in the Kadoorie crown, became the Japanese headquarters.

Four years after the war, Mao Tse-tung’s Communists seized the family’s Shanghai holdings.

But the younger Kadoorie quickly put the remaining family fortune to work, investing in postwar reconstruction and philan-

Dollar rises in moderate trading; gold up slightlyNEW YO RK (AP) - The US dollar advanced in moderate trading Wednesday as currency market strategists speculated on the outcome of a German Bundesbank meeting.

Gold rose slightly. On the New York Commodity Exchange, gold for current delivery closed at $372JO a troy ounce, up 60 cents from Tuesday’s close. At 4 p.m. EDT, Republic National Bank of New York quoted the metal at $372.00, up 50 cents.

Leaders of Germany’s central bank were gathering in Berlin on Thursday, and many currency market analysis expected the bank to announce a cut in interest rates to help stimulate the country’s ailing economy.

“There is a total preoccupation with all things related to the Bundesbank,” said Curtis Perkins, a currency trader at Chemical Bank. “That’s the question of the day.”

Andrew Hodge, vice president at Bank Brussels Lambert in New York, said the German mark weakened and the dollar rose on “ the increasing likelihood of a German rate cut.”

In European trading, the dollar closed at 1.6880 German marks, up from 1.6820. The dollar advanced in New York, closing at 1.6843 marks, up from 1.6785 late Tuesday.

Analysts who believed the Bundesbank would cutrates were divided over the possible extent of it. Some thought the bank would cut the discountrate, the key lending fee to banks, by one-quarter point. Others foresaw a half-point cut.

Whatever the Bundesbank does or doesn 4 do could ripple through Europe’s economy. The central bank last lowered interest rates on July 29, but the action set off a flurry of intense trading as market participants believed the bank didn’t go far enough.

Hodge and Perkins said the currency markets found little interest in the latest economic figures. The Commerce Department reported durable goods orders fell 3.8 percent in July, much sharper than an expected decline of 1 percent. Hodge said the report was dismissed because of a substantial f alloff in orders for transportation equipment, particularly airlines and autos.

Elsewhere, the dollar closed in Tokyo trading at 104.55 yen, up from 103.97 yen at Tuesday’s close. Later in London, the dollar was quoted higher at 104.97 yen. At the closing in New York, the dollar was quoted at 104.95 yen, up from 103.75 on Tuesday.

In London, the British pound was quoted at$l .4825,down from $1.4965 late Tuesday.

c l o s e r t o u n i f i c a t i o nMANILA (AP) - The Philippines’ two feuding stock exchanges moved closer to unification after the President Fidel Ramos’ office brokered an agreement between the two, it was announced Wednesday (cq).

Members of the Makati Stock Exchange and the Manila Stock Exchange agreed last March to join through a computer network. But implementation was delayed because of a dispute over the headquarters for the proposed Philippine Stock Exchange.

Presidential Executive Secre- taryTeofistoGuingonasaidAyala Land, Inc. agreed to allow the Tektite Towers building to house

the administrative offices of the unified exchange “in the interest of the country’s capital market development.”

The Ayala Triangle site, where the Makati trading floor is located, will house the central depository and clearing houses of the unified exchange.

Tektite Towers in suburban Ortigas will continue to house the Manila trading floor.

Guingona said Ayala Land Inc., signed the agreement Wednesday and Philippine Realty and Holdings Corp., which owns the Textile Towers site, was expected to do so Thursday, continued on page 24

J u r y a w a r d s $ 9 M a g a i n s t c h u r c hBy Amy Kuebelbeck

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Christian Science Church was ordered by a jury Wednesday to pay $9 million in punitive damages to the father of an 11-year-old boy who died in a diabetic coma with- outmedical treatment as his mother prayed.

The same jury returned a $5.2 million damage award last week in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by die boy’s biological father against

his ex-wife and her husband, the church and several church representatives.

District Judge Sean Rice said the Boston-based church was dre only one of seven defendants that could be held liable for punitive damages.

Ian Lundman died May 9,1989, after falling into a diabetic coma and urinating and vomiting uncontrollably. His father, Douglass Lundman, said the boy could have

been successfully treated twohours before his death.

“I ’m hoping this verdict will send amessage and other children will be saved,” Lundman said after the verdict was returned in Hennepin County District Court.

Attorneys for die boy’s mother and stepfather, Kathleen and William McKown, said they acted reasonably in light of their faith when they prayed rather than calling an ambulance.

The church teaches that prayer and Bible reading can cure illness and are incompatible with medicine.

William Christopher, an attorney for the church, said he didn’t know whether the church would appeal.

The case was the first in which a wrongful death lawsuit resulted in damages against the Christian Science Church. Legal experts said the initial damage award raised difficult questions about religious freedom and children’s rights.

Juror forewoman Judy Hanks erf

Minneapolis sad jurors intended to send amessage to thechurchtochange its policies.

“The real issue for me was that a child didn’t have a choice,” she said. ‘I don’t think it was about practicing rehgion, it was more about providing healthcare.”

The jury’s award last week was for Lundman’s loss of companionship, because of his son’s death.

Lundman, a former Christian Scientist who left the church in 1982, was divorced from his wife, who had custody of Ian

Ramos has been pushing for the unification of the two stock exchanges to develop a “one- price-one market” system.

The Tektite Towers will use the name “ Philippine StockExchange Center,” while the Makati site will be known as “The Philippine

Stock Exchange Plaza, Ayala Triangle.”

“The Solomonic decision of the PSE and (the presidency) puts an end to the acrimonious in-fighting between two real estate companies in their bids to host the Philippine Stock Exchange,” Guingona said.

NYSE came to a heavy 301.63 million shares as of 4 p.m. , up from 263.04 million in the previous session.

The relentless strength of bond prices and slide in interest rates kept Tuesday’s stock market rally alive, analysts said. Many jittery investors sold issues that have run up in price recently and that tempered the advance, they said.

Low interest rates make the potential returns from stocks more appealing and for that reason, stocks have often followed bond prices.

Tuesday’s optimism about the economy and corporate profits also stayed with the market, despite what initially looked like some bad news on that front.

The Commerce Department said orders to American factories for big-ticket durable goods plunged 3.8 percent in July, pulled down by a large drop in orders for aircraft and automobiles.

Still, factoring out the volatile transportation sector, durables orders were actually up 1.3 percent in July. Economists had looked for a 1 percent decline in orders.

And there was good news on the real estate front. The National Association of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes jumped 5.4 percent in July. Economists had expected a 2 pecent decline in the month.

Strong performance on over

seas markets added to the positive outlook. In Tokyo, the 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.4 percent and in London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100- share index rose 1.0 percent. In Frankfurt, stocks rose 1.1 percent and in Paris, they jumped 1.7 percent.

Airline stocks soared after First Boston financial firm upgraded Delta Air Lines and increased earnings estimates for the company.

Oil stocks also performed well, based on word Tuesday from the American Petroleum Institute that oil inventories fell sharply last week - an indication oil prices might be heading higher.

Among other major market indicators, the Standard and Poors index of 500 stocks rose 0.36 to 460.13, passing its record of 459.77, set on Tuesday.

The NYSE’s composite index rose 0.20 to 255.35, eclipsing its all-time high of 255.15, also set Tuesday.

British Petroleum headed the most-active list, with heavy volume of 26.7 million shares. The company attributed the volume to dividend-related trading. The stock went ex-dividend on Monday.

On the American Stock Exchange themaiketvalue index gained 1.22to 454.42, passingits previous recordof 453.20 set Tuesday.

The Nasdaq composite index, however, fell 1.79 to 733.34.

c o v e r a g e o f N F L , N C A AREAL football fans now have something to cheer -35001. Marianas CableVision is now bringing same day coverage of NFL as well as NCAA football games to the CNMI. And there’s only one place to see them in Saipan’s only local channel, KMCV.

As NFL andNCAA fans know, Marianas CableVision’s football games aired on TV locally are normally shown cm a one-week delay basis. Games that air on Sunday are games that were generally played one week earlier. So by the time the games air, scores and league standings have already changed.

But 1993 is a special year for Saipan sports fans. NFL and NCAA football games will be airing with same day coverage starting with NCAA games played early Sunday morning. These will

run Sunday afternoons cm KMCV. NFL games normally played on Monday mornings will play throughout the day Monday and Monday night. ABC’s Monday night football, played on Tuesday mornings, will runTuesday night.

“These games are going to be really popular all season,” says MCV program director John Atkinson. “ People in the CNMI love football, and will especially love seeing games without always knowing the winner in advance. Keeping up with football will be almost like home.”

As the year moves on, KMCV will also be airing NCAA men’s and women’s basketball onasame day basis, and later in the year KMCV will carry NASCARrac- ing.

For more information about receiving Marianas CableVision and KMCV can call 235-4628.

A q u i n o ’s b r o t h e r a m o n g R P ’s b i g g e s t w a r l o r d s ?MANILA (AP) - Former President Corazon Aquino’s brother was reported Thursday to have one of die biggest private armies, which her successor Fidel Ramos has ordered dismanded.

Ramos has set a deadline of Sept. 9 to disband the hundreds of private security forces maintained by politicians, warlords, landowners and other powerful figures.

Officials admit the campaign is stumbling because of resistance from influential individuals.

On Thursday, the Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted an unnamed senator as saying police identify Rep. Jose “Peping” Cojuangco and Muslim politician Ali Dimaporo as having the largest private armies.

Cojuangco is Corazon Aquino’s younger brother.

Cojuangco denied he maintains a private, army but admitted his

family operates a “ security force” at its sugar plantation. Hacienda Luisita.

“What private army are they talking about?” Cojuangco asked the Inquirer. “Are they talking about the security at the hacienda? Every business entity has to have security.”

That statement goes to the core of the dilemma facing the government in disbanding the more than 300 “private armies” nationwide.

Those whomaintainsuchforces claim they are necessary to provide protection because government security forces cannot guarantee safety in this high crime, turbulent country.

Cojuangco said his guards cannot be considered a “private army” because they are not involved in crime.

During her six-year term, Aquino also promised to abolish

private armies and went after groups raised by supporters of her ousted predecessor, Ferdinand Marcos.

Critics claimed she avoided moves against her family’s force, dubbed the “Yellow Army” by the Manila media.

Security forces of pro-Aquino politicians were used to combat the seven coup attempts against Mrs. Aquino, who left office on June 30,1992.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Aquino’ s former executive secretary, Rep. Joker Arroyo, told the House of Representatives that the campaign against “private armies” was a smokescreen for improving the position of the national police, which could be used by the government in a future crackdown against dissent.

Ramos has said the country cannot progress socially and economically until private armies have been eliminated.

Vietnam eyed as venue for talks with Philippine Communist groupM ANILA (AP) - The Philippine government will propose Vietnam as the venue for talks with Communist rebels aimed at ending one of the world’ s last active Marxist insurgencies, an official said Wednesday.

Howard Dee, chairman of the government’s peace panel, said the proposal would be sent Thursday to the rebel National Democratic Front, headquartered in the Dutch

city o f Utrecht.President Fidel Ramos had

ins isted that talks be held in the Philippines, but the Front, an umbrella organization of 14 Marxist groups, had demanded they be held abroad.

The Front includes the Communist Party of the Philippines, which has been waging a 24-year insurgency to establish a Marxist state.

Preliminary talks were held in August 1992 in The Hague.

The two sides agreed to continue but no further official contacts were held.

Rebel strength has been decl ining due to government successes on tire battlefield and ideological splits within the movement. The party’ s New Peoples Army is believed to number about 12,000 fighters, down more than h alf from its peak strength of 1987.

N uclear p lan t stores wineMOSCOW (AP) - Putting fizz before physics, the Volga River town of Nizhny Novgorod has turned an unfinished nuclear power plant into a sparkling-wine warehouse and bottling factory, a news agency said Wednesday.

There ’ s nothing atomic about the bubbly however. The plant building was finished but none of the equipment installed when the nuclear project was called off for environmental reasons two years ago, ITAR- Tass reported.

Now, there is a wine cellar, a bottling plant for Moldovan wines and a parking lot. A vodka distillery will soon move into what would have been the plant’s water treatment facility.

Russia’s efforts to build a market economy on the ruins of the old Communist system have led to some strange juxtapositions. The former Lenin Museum next to Red Square, for example, has been turned into a showroom for American cars and other Western consumer goods.

M ermaid m arks 80th yearCOPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - The Little Mermaid marked her 80th birthday Monday, and an ambassador, a military band and a fire brigade turned up for the party.

While the speeches went on, the sculpture that’s become a symbol of Denmark gazed out to sea as usual, leaning on her right hand, with her fish tail stretched behind her.

Every year, more than 500,000 tourists visit the girl-sized bronze, tucked away inconspicuously in a rocky comer of the harbor near a park. Millions have climbed on her to have their photographs taken.

The Little Mermaid was created in tribute to Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. In 1834 he wrote a fairy tale about a sea king’s daughter who fell in love with a prince but had to wait 300 years before she could turn human.

Duchess undergoes therapyNEW Y ORK (AP) - Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, says she has been undergoing therapy since her breakup with Prince Andrew.

She began therapy after newspapers published topless photographs of her with American businessman John Bryan, she said in an interview recorded for broadcast Thursday on NBC’s “ First Person with Maria Shriver.”

“It started alter the photographs. And it’s really helped me ... made me stop being so... quite so hard on myself. I ’m very, very super critical of myself. So it doesn’t help when the press criticize too,” she said. Although Sarah and Andrew have lived separately for more than a year, she said they remain good friends. “We still just think of each other very highly, and we have a great love for each other.”

She blamed their separation on Andrew’s duties as a Navy officer, saying they spent only 42 days together during their first year of marriage. “Andrew always used to say to me, ‘one is a prince, then the naval officer, then the husband,’” the duchess said.

Different iron com petitionLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - This iron man competition didn’t require any swimming, biking or long-distance running. Contestants had to iron, man - as in wrinkled shirts.

A local department store and a German iron manufacturer sponsored the contest as part of a fall bridal fair. Brides-to-be were allowed to cheer on grooms-to-be, but they couldn’t help.

None of the three entrants finished ironing their shirts in the allotted three minutes, but a panel of judges said Darren Nelson of Lincoln did the best job in Tuesday night’s contest. He won a new iron.

Nelson said the crowd made him nervous, not the task. He’s been doing his own ironing for the past five years.

“He does a better job than I do,” said his bride-to-be, Jennifer Herdahl. She said he’ll continue to do the ironing after they’re married. “I ’ll

walk the dog,” she said.

M arquess fails to pay taxiLONDON (AP) - The bad boy of the British aristocracy, Charles James Spencer-Churchill, the marquess of Blandford, was fined 1,000 pounds, or $1,500, Wednesday for failing to pay for six taxi fares.

Blandford, heir to a $150 million fortune, pleaded guilty to all six charges. It was the latest in a string of misdeeds by the 37-year-old son of the 11 th Duke of Marlborough. He also has been convicted of assault, burglary, possessing cocaine, driving while disqualified and failing to pay maintenance to his wife.

Blandford’s father has taken legal action to prevent him from inheriting much of the family’s fortune, including Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill. Blandford is a great nephew of the wartime prime minister.

New project for D altreyNEW YORK (AP) - The next project for Roger Daltrey, ex-frontman for the rock group The Who, is a pair of new albums, one for grown-ups and the other aimed at their kids.

Daltrey signed two recording contracts last week, said his publicist, Michael Pagnotta. The first deal, with Continuum Records, is for a solo album, possibly followed by a live release.

Boh refuses to explain jet dealBy C.W. Um

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Former president Roh Tae-woo on Thursdayrejected demands he comply with an investigation into political payoffs in connection with a multibillion-dollar US fighter jet deal

The rejection could set the stage for a legal confrontation between Roh and the nation’s chief auditors, a driving force in President Kim Yoüng-sam’s anti-corruption campaign.

The Board of Audit and Inspection demanded Roh and his predecessor, Chun Doo-hwan, provide details on decisions to spend billions of dollars on military hardware and construction of a dam during their terms of office.

There has been no evidence of wrongdoing by eitherpresident, but Kim’s new civilian government has pledged there will be no sanctuary in corruption investigations.

More than 3,000 people in government, business and the military have beén reprimanded, fired or indicted in connection with charges of political pay offs and bribery brought since Kim was inaugurated in February.

Chun returned a partially-answered questionnaire Thursday on construction of a dam during his 1980-87 rule and said auditors should look for details in government records, his chief secretary said.

Roh, who left office six months ago, issued a statement through his chief secretary, saying there was no suspicion of wrongdoing in his administration’sdecisiontobuy 120 F-16 fighters from General Dynamics Corp.

“ It was a right decision for our national interests,” Roh said in a statement

Critics claimed both responses were inadequate. “They (Roh and Chun) may face public anger if they refuse to acknowledge their mis- judgments and wrongs,” said Lee Ki-taek, leader of the main opposition Democratic Party.

The 1991 decision to buy the nation’smain jet fighter was controversial from the beginning. After about five years of study, South Korea chose the McDonnell Douglas F/A 18 jet as the cornerstone of its plan to modernize its air force.

Weeks later, Roh’s government reversed its decision and decided to buy 120 F-16 fighters from General

Opposition leader fights ouster move

By Kenneth L. Whiting

SINGAPORE (AP) - The leader of Singapore’s weak opposition in Parliament won’t be kicked out of the political party he founded - at least not immediately, - his lawyer said Thursday.

A court injunction blocks the central executive committee of the Singapore Democratic Party from expelling Chaim See Tong.

After weeks of infighting, the committee announced Chaim’s ouster last Friday for allegedly breaking party rules, and he promised to fight back.

He sued the committee for wrongfully expelling him and also obtained an injunction on Wednesday that will force the issue to be resolved in court unless the feud is settled.

“The expulsion is frozen,” said lawyer Edmond Pereira.The small party founded in 1980 by Chaim, a 58-year-old

lawyer, was seen by some as the beginning of a viable opposition to the entrenched People’s Action Party.

The SDP holds three of the 81 seats in Parliament The Worker’s Party has one and the PAP, in power since 1959, has 77.

Under the Constitution, Chaim loses his seat in Parliament if he ceases to belong to the party in which he ran for election. Officials said he would keep his seat until the expulsion was confirmed.

Chaim resigned as secretary-general of the SDP on June 18 when the internal rift became public. He was stripped of his post as its parliamentary leader in July 16.

He censured the new “collective leadership” last month for lacking vision and discipline and for being selfish.

Chaim was recognized as leader of the opposition by Prime Minister Goh Cbok Tong after the last general election two years ago.

After that election, Chaim said the SDP was ready to establish two-party democracy in this small island republic.

The political opposition fragmented as Singapore prospered under more than three decades of PAP rule as a regional banking, communications and trading center.

Chaim said he was upset and angry at his opponents.“The purpose of the SDP was to put as many of us in Parliament

as possible,['he said. . 'He accused them of jumping on the SDP bandwagon years after

He set it rolling, and of lacking the vision of a two-party system.A party statement said Chaim was ousted after it considered its

“wider responsibilities to all its members, supporters and the expectations of the public.”

Foreign Minister Wong Kan Seng, a senior PAP official, described the expulsion of Chaim as an internal party decision.

Chaim was first elected to Parliament in 1984. He was the only elected member until the polls in 1991, which, he said marked a political turning point.

Dynamics Corp. for $5.2 billion. Defense officials said they changed their minds over objections from the air force because it was a better deal.

There have been allegations that Roh was directly involved in the decision to switch aircraftmanufac- turers.

“There should be not one iota of suspicion,” Roh’s statement said. “The decision was made after thorough and fair discussions with related

govemmentagenciesandwastheright decision for our national interests,” !« said.

Roh challenged the authority of the auditors, saying they had no jurisdiction to pursue presidential decisions on matters relating to national security.

Chun also said he felt the audit board lacked jurisdictionforitsinquir- ies and he said investigators should study government documents if they want answers.

Responding to seme queries, however,Chun said the 1987 construction of a dam near die border with North Korea was started after spies reported the rival Communist nation might try to flood Seoul to disrupt the 1988 Olympic Games.

US im poses sanctions against C hina, P ak istan

By George Gedda

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States applied limited sanctions against China and Pakistan on Wednesday after concluding that China had sold missile technology to Pakistan in violation of an international arms control agreement

The move constituted another setback to US-Chinese relations, which have been piagued by differences over human rights and China’s weapons exports.

State Department spokesman Mike McCuny said the sanction bans the sale of sensitive high technology equipment to the Chinese entities responsible for the sale to Pakistan.

“It’s our estimate that somewhere between $400 million and $500 millionayear of commercial activity will be affected by the sanctions that are imposed today,” he said. Those figures are less than 10 per cent of US exports to China last year. The impact on trade with Pakistan is expected to be minimal.

At issue is US evidence suggesting that China transferred to Pakistan technology for the M -ll surface-to-surface missile, the export of which violates the Missile Technology Control Regime.

China has denied selling the weapons to Pakistan. In Pakistan, a Foreign Ministry spokesman Munir Akram said Wednesday that Pakistan bought short-range missiles from China, but not the M-11 s. He didnot address the question whether Pakistan had bought M-l 1 missile technology. . Pakistan already is prohibited from receiving most US aid because of a US law that bars aid to countries developing a nuclear weapon.

US officials said part of the case against the two countries was based on satellite photographs of a Chinese shipment which arrived last year at the Pakistani port of Karachi.

Lynn Davis, undersecretary of state for international security, informed the Chinese and Pakistani ambassadors of the U.S. decision Wednesday morning.

US law requires sanctions against violators of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which bars the transfer of missiles with a range of more than 186 miles (300 km) or a payload of more than 1,100 pounds (500 kg).

Richard Brecher of the US-China Business Council said China had an dlrs 18 billion trade surplus with the United States last year.

The net effect of Wednesday’s announcement, he said, is to worsen the trade imbalance.

He said the US, company most affected probably wouldbe Hughes Aircraft, which exports to China satellites that are launched on Chinese rockets.

McCurry said the US decision principally affects the two Chinese entities that were involved in the transaction: the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, which includes the China Precision Machinery Import- Export Corporation, and the Ministry of Defense. Subsidiaries of these entities also are affected.

F ire breaks out on casino shipHONG KONG (AP) - Fire broke out Wednesday night on a Hong Kong casino ship, the “New Orient Princess,” just after it left the city for international waters.

There were no casualties, a government statement said.About 519 passengers, including 187 crewmen, were evacuated to

marine department boats. It is not immediately known whether there were foreigners among them.

Three fire boats, 18 police launches and one navy vessel are fighting the fire, which was under control, a marine department spokesman said. Unconfirmed reports said the fire started in the electrical room.

Jackson postpones concertBANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - American pop star Michael Jackson postponed his scheduled Wednesday night concert until Thursday because he is suffering from acute dehydration due to Bangkok’s heat and humidity, a doctor said.

Stuart Finkelstein, tour physician, said in a statement that he was giving the singer liquid intravenously.

“Michael is improving, and we anticipate his return to the stage tomorrow,” he said.

“Michael expends so much effort and energy because his performance is so important to him,” he added.

Lee Sobers, Jackson’s publicist, said Wednesday evening that the singer was resting in bed at the riverside Oriental Hotel.

Thailand currently is in its hot, rainy season.Jackson played before a packed crowd of40,000Tuesday night at the

open-air National Stadium.

New compact disc form at outTOKYO (AP) - Four leading electronics companies announced Wednesday that they have established a new compact disc format that allows up to 74 minutes of video to be stored on a standard-size CD.

The format, called “Video CD,” will be used for movies, karaoke, music videos and educational material, the companies said.

The companies - Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Philips, Sony Corp. and Victor Co. of Japan (JVC) - said Video CDs can be played on present CD players with digital outputs with an add-on adaptor.

Both Sony and Matsushita have access-to huge movie libraries and are likely to begin releasing them in the new format. Sony owns Columbia and Tri-Star Pictures, while Matsushita owns MCA Inc.

The 74-minute capaci ty will allow most movies to fit on just two CDs.The new format stores video in digital form, the same way that audio

is stored on current CDs. To fit more on each disc, the video is compressed using a recently developed standard called MPEG-1, which lowers picture quality somewhat.

The format is capable of 300 lines of horizontal resolution, a measure of picture detail, making the quality comparable to that of a standard VHS video cassette recorder, Sony spokesman Andrew House said

Cambodia, Vietnam end talksHANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Cambodian and Vietnamese leaders ended three days of talks Wednesday, expressing confidence they had laid the groundwork for friendship despite their long contentious past.

Prince Norodom Ranariddh and HunSen, co-premiers of Cambodia’s new interim government, left after their first official visit to Vietnam since the Cambodian elections in May.

After signing a joint communique at Hanoi’s presidential palace, Ranariddh told Vietnamese Premier Vo Van Kiet that he believed the trip would “consolidate and promote friendship between Cambodia and Vietnam.”

“We are confident there will be further cooperation,” he said.Kiet called the Cambodians’ visit a good opportunity to continue

strengthening ties between the two countries.Kiet accepted an invitation to visit Cambodia, and Vietnam’s Presi

dent Le Due Anh invited Cambodia’s head of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, to visit Hanoi.

Cambodia’s interim government resulted from a UN-organized election designed to end the civil war that began after Vietnam invaded Cambodia in late 1978 and installed a new government, later to be headed by Hun Sen. Before that, Cambodia has been at odds with Vietnam for centuries over the Iatter’s aggressive policies.

The co-premiers thanked Vietnam for respecting the 1991 Paris agreement that officially ended the war and authorized the election.

At Wednesday’s send-off ceremony, Kiet directed most of his remarks to Ranariddh, formerly leader of a guerrilla group thathad fought Hun Sen’s Vietnamese-installed government.

Ranariddh responded for the Cambodian side, while Hun Sen sat silent.

A uthorities clean out 4 gam bling houses in Dom inican Republic

G u a m - b a s e d a i r m e n ’s

b e h a v i o r u n d e r p r o b eBy Ricardo Rojas Leon

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - Authorities said Wednesday they have “cleaned out” four gambling houses believed to have headquartered the biggest US illegal sports betting ring.

Nine Americans were arrested. Eleven others, mostly Dominican employees, were also arrested in two days of raids.

The crackdown followed the US indictment Aug. 10 of 26 people accused of handling high- tech operations on horse racing, college and professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey and other sports.

The US attorney’s office in Northern California has said the operations used toll-free 800 numbers to take in more than $1 billion a year from thousands 6f bettors around the country. Before the indictment, FBI officials said the operation was linked to organized crime and large bookie rings in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Tulsa, Okla.

The calls are transferred to the Dominican Republic, where betting is legal.

Police and government officials said that they were unable to capture Ronald Sacco, a San Franciscan who US authorities said masterminded the operation from his Dominican villa.

“We’ve cleaned out the betting houses,” Sports Minister Elias Wessin Chavez told The Associated Press.

Dominican authorities identified the arrested Americans as Murphy Joseph Yrigoire, 22; Edwar Locirs, 47; Peter Louis, 41; and Downley Anderson, 56; as well as Scott Wisly Pirdy, Jerry Otto, Tom "Willis, Sam Petrfik) and Mike Yadisemia, whose ages were not given No hometowns were given Police officials saidthe arrested Americans may be deported, although the Dominican Republic does not automatically extradite on gambling or money laundering charges.

Authorities said the arrested Dominicans were employees at the four closed betting parlors - listed as two export houses, an investment company and a office called Overseas Services and Phone Calls. “The investigation is growing in size and scope,’’saidapdice spokesman. Col. Aquiles Cruz Gomez.

TheUSindictmentfollowedafiye- year investigation by the FBI, federal prosecutors and the Internal Revenue Service. Agents used telephone taps, confidential informants and IRS records to infiltrate and track the operation. Dominican police said they coordinated with the FBI to determine tiie betting locations.

The 26 people indicted have been charged with international money laundering, racketeering, conspiracy and running illegal gambling businesses.

FBI officials and sources working for the ring told the AP earlier this year that the ring had also operated from Antigua, Jamaica and Costa Rica, with telephone hookups to the

United States.Theemployees said they were paid

from packets of $100 bills, stapled inside magazines that arrived each week by overnight (xiurier. The high- tech offices had separate cubicles, each with a telephone and computer, from where workers would take and record the bets. Bets also came via computer modem and fax.

Dominican police had announced the operation's end after a raid last year, but the bets resumed.

HONOLULU (AP) - The Navy is investigating reports of unacceptable behavior by a group of Guam-based naval airmen at a private party in the Persian Gulf last month.

The accusations include public intoxication, brief public nudity and offensive language, according to Lt Ken Ross, assistant public affairs officer for the US Pacific Fleet.

Cmdr. Robert Boyd, commander of the Fleet Air Reconnaissance SquadronOnebased at theNaval Air Station at Agana, Guam, is review-

ing a videotape made by one of the men in the squadron wto was at the party, said LL Kelly Merrell, a Navy spokeswoman on Guam.

The alleged incident occurred at a party marking the end of deployment for members of the squadron, Ross said. He didn’tknow in which country theincidentoccurred. Merrell said the party was held at an off-base fadlitycontractedbytheDepaitment of Defense.

negative affect on good order and discipline,” Ross said. “Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if the facts warrant,” he said.

The squadron members were in the Gulf on a routine mission, which usually lasts about 45 days, according to Merrell.

The investigation began several weeks ago, as soon as Cmdr. Robert Boyd, the squadron’s commanding officer, heard about the incident, Merrell said.

It urged greater efforts to build mutual confidence among them with steps such as maintaining openness aboutmilitary activities in the South

China Sea area.China, one of the claimants to the

Spratlys, indicated earlier, however, that it was not ready for the more formal talks suggested by Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas.

Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines alsoclaim all or parts of the islands, believed rich in oil and other mineral resources.

Vietnam welcomed the suggestion of formal talks, but B.A. Hamzah of the Malaysian delegation said Wednesday: “ I don’t think thatformalizingwouldactually create better conditions. ... It would hinder the further process of cooperation.”

mote cooperation efforts,” said a final statement of the three-day workshop on “Managing Potential Conflicts in the South China Sea.”

“It is felt that this opportunity should be seized and utilized by the political leadership,” it added.

“Thereis ageneral feeling among us that this workshop has been able to draw increasingly positive attention on the parts of governments in the South China Sea,” said meeting co-chairman Hashim Djalal, Indonesia’s ambassador to Germany.

Although it is not a claimant, Indonesia has been bringing the six rival claimant nations and some of their neighbors together since 1990 in annual informal meetings aimed at preventing conflict in the area.

In his keynote speech Monday, Alatas warned that “after Cambodia, the South China Sea could become the next flash point in our region.”

For cooperation over developing the islands, the workshop agreed in

principle to convene a technical working group in Beijing on environment in the Spratlys. Another meeting to prepare a complete project proposal for marine scientific research there was scheduled in Singapore in December.

Participants also agreed to invite Cambodia to the next workshop, and possibly Japan, the United States, Australia and the European Community.

China and Vietnam engaged in a brief but bloody naval battle in the Spratlys in 1988.

Beijing and Hanoi also have conflicting claims to the Paracels, north of the Spratlys, and Japan recently published a satellite photo on a runway of a Chinese air base in the area, reinforcing regional fears over Chinese intentions in the area.

Hanoi also announced a plan to complete construction of a fishing port next year in the Spratlys.

Meanwhile, Taiwan is considering building a lighthouse and a fishing port in the disputed islands.

Japan to im port U S apples in ‘ 9 4

C o m m u n i s t P a r t y e n d s a n t i - c o r r u p t i o n m e e t i n g

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - The top trade official for the Department of Agriculture said Wednesday he has been assured US apples from next year’saopwiUbealkrwedintoJapan.

Undersecretary EugeneMoos said he has met with his counterpart in Japan and been assuredno additional testacies will be raised.

“I won’t use toe word ‘guarantee’,” Mcxk said. “Westillmust meet their standards. I have been assured by our scientists that we can.”

He said he hopes trade sanctions

will not have to be used toopenadoor barred since 1971 by Japan’s concents about apple pests and disease. This year’s crop won’t reach Japan because officials there need more time to implement their inspection procedures.

Moos’ comments came at the opening of toe second annual Agricultural Showcase at the SunDome. The three-daytradeshowhas brought nearly 200buyers fern 14 countries tomeetface-to-facewithfarmersand food processors in the Northwest

Tokyo opens longestsuspension bridge

BEIJIN G (AP) - China’s Communist Party has devoted six days to a meeting on fighting corruption, saying failure to act could mean tiré end of the party and its rule, an official newspaper reported Thursday.

The front page of the People’s Daily, the party newspaper, was almost entirely taken up by a party communique and editorial on the new anti-corruption campaign.

“If we don’ t resolutely overcome negative and corrupt elements, they will spell the end of the party, die end of the people’s government and the end of our socialist modernization cause,” the communique said.

The meeting of the party’s

Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has received top billing in official media reports, a sign of the party’s determination to wipe out corruption. But party leaders have failed to unveil any new weapons in a long, tired war that has consisted mainly of sloganeering.

The communique said winning the fight required “ resolutely punishing corrupt elements” and strengthening ideological and political education of party members.

Both tactics have been used in previous anti-corruption campaigns with little effect.

One Beijing resident said the only way to stop corruption is to execute a couple of top officials

or sons and daughters of top leaders, many of whom are involved in big, international business deals.

The party urged its members and government officials to lead the way in “observing clean standards and self-discipline.”

The communique listed a whole range of activities that party and government officials arc banned from, including engaging in business, taking payment for acting as an intermediary, giving preferential treatment to family members or friends in business, trading in stocks, accepting securities for public service, using institutional creditcardsforpersonal purchases, or using public funds to gain membership in exclusive clubs.

TOKYO (AP) - The longest suspension bridge in eastern Japan was opened to traffic across Tokyo harbor Thursday. Officials hope the 798-meter (2,618-foot), two- tiered Rainbow Bridge will ease Tokyo’s chronic traffic problems.

Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako, along with Tokyo Gov. Shunichi Suzuki, were guests ofhonor atceremonies to open the bridge. But a typhoon forced officials to cut the ceremonies short. Construction of thebridge, which towers 127 meters (417 feet) over the water, is part of an ambitious oceanfront development project championed by Suzuki.

Japan’ s longest suspension bridge is the 13.1-kilometer (8.2- mile) span connecting the biggest island, Honshu, with the southern island of Shikoku over the Seto Inland Sea. Its longest suspension

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) - Long Beach, Calif., and Bedford, N.H., wrapped up berths in the semifinals of the Little League World Series.

The Californians had five homers in a 12-8, seven-inning victory over Richmond, Va., Tuesday. Thomas Beyer pitched a no- hitter and scored the only run for Bedford in a 1-0 victory over Hamilton, Ohio.

Long Beach beat Bedford 21-1 today in a meaningless round-

robin game. Bedford manager Greg Joseph said half his team asked to pitch today. He used four pitchers, but none of his regulars.

The teams play again Thursday for a berth in the title game Saturday.

The international bracket has three teams fighting for two berths. Panama beat Saipan 4-1 and Canada downed Germany 8-1 Tuesday. Today, Saipan beat Canada 4-3 on Raymond Guerrero’s two-run single in the bottom of the sixth.

Despite the victory, Saipan was

eliminated. It had to win by five to advance to the finals through the tiebreaker. Far East teams had been in 23 of the last 27 finals.

Beyer’s no-hitter was the second straight against Hamilton. The Central champions lost to Long Beach 8-0 Monday nighL Beyer also scored the only run in a 1-0 Bedford victory over Richmond on Monday.

Tuesday night, Beyer singled inthe bottom of the fourth against Hamilton, was sacrificed by Matt Joseph and went to third on Christopher Tompkins’ infield single.

L it t le L e a g u e r e p a ir s im a g eWILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) - Philippines? What Philippines?

If you didn ’t already know about the darkest days in Little League history, you wouldn’t find out about them at this year’s World Series.

Why moan about what happened in 1992, when the Philippines used a national all-star team and over-aged players to win the championship?

“It was a fiasco, but we received a great deal of support and applause... for taking action and not just slapping their wrists and turning our back,” Little League president Creighton Hale said this week. “It turned out to be very favorable, even though the Philippine press was not very favorable.”

In official circles, last year’s scandal was a time when Little League shone. Their system worked, they said, because no outsiders had to go to the Philippines to bust them. Other Philippine Little League administrators turned in their country’s top Little League official.

“It was an embarrassment for those people who did it,” said Luke LaPorta, the chairman of Little League’s board of directors. “It was an embarrassment to that man, Armando Andaya, who sat here and broke bread with us, but it certainly wasn’t an embarrassment to us.”

To keep attention on this year’s games, the Philippine scandal and the five ejections of teams this year

are taboo at postgame news conferences with coaches, even though the disqualifications had a direct bearing on two teams.

Panama finished second in its bracket and has advanced to the Little League semifinals. Saipan finished fifth and was eliminated Wednesday. Far East teams had been in 23 of the last 27 championships.

In the official program, there’s no record of the Philippines doing anything wrong last year. Their 15- 4 victory over Long Beach, Calif., is listed as a 6-0 American victory. There’s no asterisk to show the score was changed three weeks later. The Philippines remain listed as runners-up. Little League vice president Steve Keener said no one thought of listing it any other way. College football and basketball record books are full of asterisks as teams were put on probation for one thing or another.

Before last year’s scandal, about the worst thing that happened to Little League’s image was Lou Rawls singing a line from the Budweiser theme song during the 1992 opening ceremonies.

Little League was built on a policy of playing everyone who suits up and never charging admission to games. Fans are close to a grass field. No one is squabbling over multimillion-dollar contracts.

That’s why the Philippine scandal hurt so much.“We were keenly disappointed because of the chil

dren involved,” Hale said. “It wasn’t their fault.”

As pitcher Ronnie Bicknell walked to the mound after covering first on Tompkins’ hit, Tompkins broke for second. Bicknell threw to second and Beyer ran home uncontested.

“In a tournament like this, you don’t get too many chances to score, so you have to manufacture runs when you can,” Joseph said.

The winning run was scored after a 94-minute rain delay, the longest in Series history. Bedford didn’t have a hit before the rain delay

“If there wasn’t a rain delay, who knows,” Joseph said.

In the top of the sixth, Hamilton couldn’t get a hit after Beyer walked three with two out.

Hitting was no problem for Long Beach. Kevin Miller and Brady Werner each hit two home runs and Sean Burroughs added another. Long Beach is attempting to become the first American team to repeat as champions.

In Canada’s victory Tuesday night, Blake Anderson had a three- run homer in the fifth to give his team a 5-1 lead.

CHAMPIONSHIP flight winners (from left): Ed Peters, second place; Tom Castro, third place; and Jess Taitano, first place.

Taitano dominates SGA-Karidat golf tournamentEARLY morning heavy rain shower did not dampen the spirits of the Saipan Golfers Association on Aug 21 in hosting the goodwill golf tournament.

While participation was less than anticipated, the tournament went well, and golfers enjoyed themselves, particularly theexceUentprizes generously donatedby the business community. Proceeds of the golf tournament went to the Family and Child Abuse Program of Karidat Social Services.

This year’s championship flight was captured by Saipan’sbest golfer, Jess Taitano, with a gross score of even par 72. For his effort, he was awarded a round trip ticket to Manila where he will play more golf.

Secondplacewentto hardworking, “hard-playing” Ed Peters shooting a solid two over par 74 gross score. Tom Castro’s 76 is close behind for third place.

The “A” flight was hotly contested with Greg Sablan snatching first place with a scene of 75, while Tony Salas capture secondplace with

a score of 76. Jack Guerrero’s 82 was good enough for third place.

The “B” and “C” flights were combined. Manny C. Tenorio’s impressive performance and gross score of 79 walked away with first place. Kim Chong Sik shot 84 to secure second place, and Norbert Sablan’s distant 87 garnered third place.

Four lady linksters competed in the ladies flight. Alice Concepcion shot a gross score of 83 to capture first place, trailed by Antonette Aquino’s87 for second place. Teresa Kim took third place.

The closest to the pin contest was easily won by Mr. Ito Yoshio who nearly holed outnumber 17 parthree. The longest drive (dragon contest) was awarded to Mr. Jay Sorensen whose 255 yard drive split the number 18 fairways.

The Saipan Golfers Association extends its appreciation to the tournament participants, Mariana Coun-* try Club, prizes contributors, and volunteers from Karidat staff for making this tournament a success.
