Day care facilityon Saipan mulledAN ENABLINGlegislation to establish a government sponsoreddaycare facilityfor children of workingparents iscurrentlybeingdrafted for introduction at the Senate.

Accordingto Senate President Juan S. Demapan,he is sponsoring the bill owing to the increasing number of households thathave both spousesearning a living toaugment thefamily income.

"We're developing this concept of a highly certified child carefacility involving a partnership effort between government and

Iprivate sector," said Demapan in an interview before embarkingon a trip to Washington, D.C.

"We need .something that is affordable and yet manned bycertified teachers and child care experts comparable to those inthe US mainland," said Demapan. "This will be a tremendoushelp specially for those in the low-income bracket."

According to the president, because of the hard economictimes, most families require that both parents work in the day toprovide for decent living.

Forthosefamilieswhocannotat:ford live-in~aids orbabysitters, !parents are prevented from working, thus losing the opportunity 1to earn more. t

Haiti's military leaders cooperated with occupying forces.

But after meeting with Aristideand Security Council membersTuesday, Washington decided itwould not immediately press foran easing of sanctions, a U.S.official said Tuesday.

Since Washington has takenthe lead in the mission to oust theHaitian junta, council membersare expected to wait for theUnited States to introduce a resolution lifting the embargo.

The agreement worked outSunday by former PresidentJimmy Carter said Haiti's leaders would step down and theembargo "will be lifted withoutdelay in accordance with relevantU.N. resolutions."

But those resolutions state the

Essy has held several high-levelposts, including that of U.N. ambassador from 1981 to 1990.

He presided over the Group of77 developing nations in Genevafrom 1977 to 1978 and was vicepresident of the 43rd GeneralAssembly and president of theSecurity Council in January 1990.

This year the General Assembly opening is overshadowed bythe U.S. landing in Haiti and Haitiwill be on the agenda in the threemonth session.

The assembly will discusspeacekeeping, human rights, theadvancement of women, U.N. financial problems, and conflicts inRwanda, Bosnia, Somalia, Liberiaand elsewhere.

World body appeals foraid to 'martyred'Africa

By VICTORIA GRAHAM

UNITED NAnONS (AP) • Thefirst African to head the GeneralAssembly in six years appealed tothe world body Tuesday not toneglect his "martyred continent"as it struggles to cope with civilwars, famines and other crises.

Amara Essy, the foreign minister of Ivory Coast, was electedunanimously under a system ofregional rotation at the opening ofthis year's session.

The annual parade of worldleaders begins next Monday, withPresidents Bill Clinton and BorisYeltsin addressing the 184-nationassembly.

In his inauguration speech, Essycalled Africa a "long-sufferingand martyred continent ... adrift, acontinent in agony."

But he also said Africa had theability to reverse tragic trends.

"In spite of many open woundsin Angola, Liberia, Rwanda,

"It's an unusual set of trends fora time in which the economy'sbeen expanding andunemployment's been goingdown," Kohut said. He said onereason may be that the new waveofjobs offers relatively low wages,benefits and security.

More than 40 percent in the survey said they "often don't haveenough money to make ends meet"- a huge chunk considering therelatively healthy economy, Kohutsaid. Six in 10said they don't haveenough money to lead the kinds oflives they want to, and only half ofthose expect they ever wili.

Americans displayed some increased tolerance on social issuesthat don't threaten their jobs orpocketbooks. A record 65 percentof whites said they thought it wasall right for blacks and whites todate each other - up from 43 percent in 1987.

Nearly six in 10 said schoolboards should not be able to fireteachers who are known homosexuals. up from 42 percent in1987.The same majority disagreedwith the statement "AIDS mightbe God's punishment for immoralsexual behavior." Forty-seven percent disagreed in 1987.

Amostly discouraging snapshotof thenational mood emerged fromthe survey of 4,809 people by theTimes Mirror Center for the Peopleand the Press.

One area he cited is that thelanguagemustbeeither in thelawor the Conference CommitteeReport that makes it clear the $5million forthenon-U.S. areasdoesnot reduce the current level ofsupport to the Insular areas.

Prosecutors in both counties sofar have declined to clear Jackson.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles District Attorney Gil Garcetti said adecision would be made "verysoon," but he declined to be morespecific. Santa Barbara districtattorney Tom Sneddon also declined to say anything further.

Earlier this week, Jackson'sdefense attorney, HowardWeitzman, said he believed thedistrict attorneys would decline

While street clashes escalatedin Port-au-Prince, most parts ofthe capital were quiet. Manypeople were still holed up withrelatives out of town waiting forthe dust to settle. The normallybustling Iron Market in the heartof the city was all but deserted.

The planned U.S. invasion todepose the Haitian military wascalled off Sunday because of alast-minute agreement by Haiti'sarmy rulers to give up power andcooperate with U.S. forces.

Aristide broke his 36-hour silence Tuesday, issuing a statement in which he mentioned theneed for peace and democracy,but not Sunday's agreement. Hisadvisers have said he objects toallowing army rulers to remain inpower until Oct. 15.

American soldiers numbered7,000 by day's end - a force equalto the entire Haitian army.

US troops stand by as protesters clubbedPORT-AD-PRINCE, HaitiCAP) - Jubilant supporters ofHaiti's exiled president cheeredU.S. troops on their second day inthe country, but police clubbedthe demonstrators and fired teargas as American soldiers stoodby, under orders not to get involved.

Some demonstrators becameangryat the Americans for failingto protect a man who, accordingto witnesses,wasclubbed to deathby a Haitian policeman.

After the disturbances, seniorU.S. military officers here roaredup to Haiti's army headquartersfor a lengthy "talk to," as oneAmerican officer put it. At sunsetTuesday, U.S. military policeemerged from their bases at theairportand seaport to begin motorpatrols along the perimeters.

The confrontations in the capital, which came as U.S. Marinesswarmed ashore at Cap-Haitienon the northern coast, underlinedthe tensions in Haiti and the dangeroffactional violence that coulddrag in the Americans.

In New York, a person is murdered every 3.7 hours, raped every I.7hours, assaulted every 6minutes,and robbed every 33 seconds.

But despite the frightening statistics, more tourists are comingto the Big Apple, attracted by itsmuseums, skyscrapers, wellstocked stores, lower prices and,according to some, the 56-kilometer (35-mile) trip around Manhattan touted in a Circle Line brochureas "America's Favorite BoatRide."

In the aftermath of the Sept. 12incident, police vessels tailedcruise ships and detectives linedthe desolate shore along narrowstretches of the Harlem River,between the Bronx and the northern tip of Manhattan, to offer extra protection and look for clues.

Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian ofShanghai. whose diocese includesSheshan, said about 70,000 peoplemake the pilgrimage every yearand the number is growing. Thebusiest time is May, when ChineseCatholics celebrate "Mary Month"to honor the Virgin.

The Saipan lawmaker stressedthat the issue of the alien population has been one facet of federalirritation about how policies areworked out on a local level.

He referred to the proposedmoratorium as one good argument for the CNMI in defendingcontinued local control over immigration.

Hofschneider's bill, which wasintroduced in a House session lastweek, is now with the House Committee on Commerce & Tourismfor study.

Lately. the US has been pressing reforms in local immigrationand labor policies on account of aballooning alien laborpopulation.

Specifically, a move is takingshape in the US House of Representatives to strip theCNMI of itsprivilege to control its own immigration. owing to reports of alienlabor abuse.

Continued influx of new workers have also been observed tohave caused a significant impacton the local infrastructure and onthe delivery of public services,both of which are largely subsidized by the federal government.

Born today, you are a diverseand multi-talented individual.Though you may make your markin one field while you are quiteyoung, you're not likely to limityourself to that one line of endeavor for very long. Staying put canprove quite boring, frustrating,and ultimately hazardous, forwhen you feel you are "stuck" inany way, you are rarely willing tolive up to your true potential. Fortunately, you have a knack foropening doors for yourself and taking full advantage of even the mostfar-fetched opportunities.

You have a vivid, strong personality, and you command both attention and respect wherever yougo - particularly when you are onthe job. You also engender a goodmeasure of fear and misunderstanding from those who cannotappreciate or equal your level ofprofessional commitment.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.(AP) - There's only one undefeated team in the National Football Conference and it isn't theDallas Cowboys or San Francisco4gers.

It's the New York Giants.They've found a way to open

the season with a 3-0 record despite the retirement of LawrenceTaylor, the salary-cap decision tolet Phil Simms go and the loss ofsix other starters to free agency.

"People didn't expect us, of allpeople, of all teams, to be sittinghere," linebacker Corey Millersaid Tuesday as Giants left for afive-day vacation. "It really feelsgood going into the bye week,having beaten three divisionalteams and sitting at the top all byourselves. It's early, but we haveto be excited about what we'vedone."

What the Giants have done istotally unexpected, considering:hechanges to a playoff team thatwent 11-5 in 1993. Many predieted nothing better than an 8-8record and coach Dan Reeves'best estimate was 9-7.
