DIRECTOR Jesus B. Pangelinan of the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs (DCC A) was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged before the SuperiorCourt with two counts o f forgery and two counts of theft.

Pangelinan, according to the information provided by Assistant Attorney General Steven Pixley, cashed two per diem checks issued by the government to DCCA employees and used part o f the money to play poker.

Pangelinan was brought to court at 3:30 p.m., an hour after he was arrested.

The government proposed a $10,000 cash bail but the director

THE GOVERNMENT has filed criminal charges against a woman from Arizona who allegedly lied under oath that she had enough money and assets to support her plan to pu t up a bank in the Northern Marianas.

B ettie S. Sarkis was charged w ith perjury and defceptive business practice in the complaint filed with the Superior Court on Dec.. 10 by Assistant Attorney General Steven P. Pixley.,

Sarkis was arrested,the same day and subsequently released after posting’^ $30,000 bond. - ' Z . a-The businesswoman, ac-

said he did not have that much money.

Following Pangelinan’s assurances that he would appear in all court proceedings, Judge Marty W. K. Taylor ordered the release of the DCC A director on a $25,000 unsecured bond.

Arraignment was scheduled Dec. 21 to give him time to find a lawyer.

Pangelinan was also ordered by the court to stay away from the airport and refrain from getting near DCCA employees whose checks he allegedly cashed.

The arrest of the DCCA director was made after almost two months o f investigation.

On Aug. 21, the criminal complaint said, Pangelinan took a

government check for $ 1,192 and payable to DCCA employee Ned Q. NOrita. Twó days after taking the check, the director allegedly forged the signature of Norita and cashed the check at Bobbie’s Amusement Co., apokermachine establishment.

Pangelinan used part o f the money to play poker machines, the complaint said.

On Oct. 17, Pangelinan allegedly took another CNMI government check payable to Paul P. Tenorio, also an employee o f DCCA, forged Tenorio’s signature and cashéd the check worth $220.

The director converted the proceeds from the check for his

GUAM Savings & Loan and Mariana Islands Housing Authority (M IHA) signed an agreement yesterday to increase funds for housing loans.

“The agreement w ill facilitate the release of funds to our applicants through a special arrangement that w ill expand M IH A ’s financial resources. So we w ill be able to serve more people,” MIHA Executive D irector John M.

Sablan said.According to Sablan, approxi

mately 200 housing loan applicants from Saipan Rota and Tinian would benefit from the program.

About 300 more w ill be assisted during the next few months, including homesteaders from As Matuis and Kagman II Subdivision.

“ That number w ill perhaps double or triple upon the opening o f the Kagman II homestead subdivision,” Sablan said.

Under the scheme, loan applications for the purchase, construction or expansion of houses would be submitted to MIHA. After documentation and processing have been done, the loan proceeds would be released. M IHA w ill then “ sell” the loan to Guam Savings which makes the bank the real source of the funds.

The program is expected to begin in January and w ill run for one year at which time direct loans for construction, renovation and pur-

chase of residential housing w ill be provided to eligible applicants.

The agreement allows loans of up to $ 100,000 with fixed interest of 9 - 12 percent and up to 30 years payment period.

“ It is a meeting point of our intention to increase our available funding for housing applications and the’ bank’s intent to purchase loans made by MIHA which are secured by mortgages covering real property,” · the

Brewery and now general manager o f Saipan Spring Valley Brewery Co. Inc., which owns and w ill o p e ra te the m icro - brewery and restaurant, said the maker of Japan’s best-selling beer (No. 4 in the world) was invited by Japan Airlines three years ago to jo in La Fiesta San Roque, which is owned by Tropical Plaza, JA L ’s 100 percent owned subsidiary in the Northern Marianas.

Kirin accepted the invitation and put up Saipan Spring Valley Co. The company is owned 88 percent by Kirin and the balance by Tropical Plaza.

Sudo said total investment in the micro-brewery and restaurant amounted to $3 million.

He said three “recipes” for beer were formulated by Kirin and sent to Saipan for sampling tests, with Saipanese, American and Japanese tourists as the “tasters.” The m ost favored recipe was chosen for Boga Boga.

Sudo stressed that Boga Boga is not Kirin. “It is totally different, it fits thepalatability of Saipanese and tourists. It is the most delicious draft beer,” he said.

The name itself is a world apart from Japanese. Sudo said boga is a Spanish word which means popular. “We used two words to sound tropical, like Tiki Tiki, Lau Lau or Pan Pau,” he said.

The logo also emphasizes the tropical — sun and coconuts, and the beer in mug, complete with froth.

Sudo is also optimistic about Boga Boga’s prospects.”It is the only draft beer in Micronesia,” he said.

He said the new beer would have its own market. All the other beers in Saipan are packaged beer. Only Boga Boga will be served direct from the brewery and Boga Boga (the restaurant).will be the only place to get it.

A lcohol content is 4.5 to 5 percent, a bitm ore than Budweiser and just about the same as Kirin

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18 , 1992 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEW S AND V IEW S-3

Payne: B etter to subsidize NML.REPRESENTATIVE Lewis F. Payne said last week paying a direct subsidy to the Northern Marianas would be preferable to having thousands o f underpaid aliens living in the CNM I and competing with US workers.

Payne made the statement in response to W ashington Representative Juan N. B abauta’s concern that an extreme action on the part o f Congress might throw the CNM I · back to dependence on federal funds.

Payne said his understanding was that the CNM I economy was firmly based on tourism.

Babauta and Payne m et on the same day that Payne was appointed to the trade subcommittee of the House W ays and Means Committee. Babauta askedfor the meeting to discuss the minimum wage and alien labor issues.

During their meeting Payne said continued duty-free status for goods made in the M arianas depends on the Com m onw ealth solving its wage and immigration problems.

Payne introduced legislation late in the last session o f Congress that would take away the duty- free status CNM I goods now en-

joy unless they are made by a workforce with 50 percent local labor, paid the USminimum wage.

The trade subcommittee has jurisdiction over tariffs and trade agreements. Should Payne reintroduce his bill, the legislation would be referred to his subcommittee. He is, therefore, in a strong position to push his m easure through, if he chooses. "

Babauta asked Payne whether he planned to reintroduce the bill. The congressman responded that he was considering doing so. His decision would tfke into account any action the CNM I government had taken since a congressional hearing in July focused attention on the low minimum wage in the Northern M arianas and the large numbers o f alien workers em

ployed making garments there.Payne is one o f 66 mem bers of

the Congressional Textile Caucus. A letter from caucus m em bers o f In te r io r C o m m ittee C h a irm an G eo rg e M ille r prompted the July hearing. The textile industry is an important partof the economy in the Virginia district Payne represents and at the July hearing he testified that

THE GROUP which initiated the filing of a defam ation lawsuit against Pacific Daily News in July announced yesterday it wouldfile an appeal with the Supreme Court before the end o f the year.

Officers o f the CNM I Filipina Vindication Committee m et with attorney M ichael Dotts yesterday to discuss the appeal. Also in the m eeting which was called by M anny V illa g a , c o m m itte e chairman, were Philippine Consul Julius Torres and labor attache Manzano.

Oleai Elementary School hosted the 5th PSS-Language Arts Task Force meeting Tuesday, with Ms. Connie Käufer, PSS reading specialist, presiding.

The fair will show case samples of students’ writings covering various literary genre, including short stories, poetry, plays and essays, in the English, Chamorro and Carolinian languages.

The task force has invited private schools in the CNMI to participate in the book fair. Among those who have indicated their intentions toparticipate are Whispering Palms School, Grace Christian Academy, Marianas Baptist School, Saipan Community School, Ml Carmel School and San Francisco Borja School in Rota.

ThePSS-LanguageArtsTaskForce is composed of all language arts chairpersons from the different public schools in the CNMI and chaired by John Rosario and Mrs. Käufer, PSS English specialist acting language arts coordinator and PSS reading specialist, respectively.

defendant) labelled the female club workers as prostitutes, was dism issed by Superio r Court Judge Alex Castro on Dec. 3. Castro said the 88 nightclub and karaoke workers were too many for the news item to be understood as referring to each worker.

The judge adopted the PDN counsel’s argument that a group entitled for damages in a defamation suit could not have more than 25 members.

Dotts said Castro picked one set of precedents as basis for his decision. He said, however, that there are also precedents to sup

port a defamation suit by more than 25 people.

The Supreme Court, which sets the law, would now be asked to decide whether the 88 complainants could claim damages for defamation, Dotts said.

“This is a very tough case,” Dotts said.

Torres saids the dismissal was based on technicality. He said the “rule of 25” m ight be applicable in the mainland because the large population there makes identification of the injured people d ifficult.

Saipan, on the other hand,, is a

small place with a small population. It is easy to identify who were labelled as prostitutes, he said.

Torres clarified that the lawsuit .was not meant to abridge press freedom but that reporting should be done with care.

If PDN made a correction on the statements in the original report there would not have been a lawsuit, he said.

V illaga said the com m ittee, which has 15 members from differen t F ilip ino groups in the Northern Marianas, wouldfinance the legal proceedings. (NL)

companies in his district had lost business to M arianas’ com petitors.

Payne said US industry is ready to compete. However, if the minimum wage in the M arianas is ha lf the US m inim um wage, competition from the CNM I is not fair. W e just want a “level playing field” for US workers, he said.

Payne assured Babauta that the bill was not meant to punish the people of the CNMI. Payne recalled that C ongress’ original purpose in giving duty-free status to CNM I goods was tohelp create jobs in the M arianas for local people. Instead, the effect had been to create a loophole for goods produced by foreigners to enter the US without paying duty.

Babauta brought to the meeting news o f several developments on the wage and alien labor issues. He gave Payne the recently released report of the task force appointed by governor Lorenzo I. Guerrero to study the feasibility of raising the m inimum wage. Payne was already aware of the task force recommendation that the current minimum o f $2.15/

If the intent of Article XII (Land Alienation Provision) is to protect us from the loss o f our land to foreign or non-indigents hands, then the recent ruling o f the U.S. Supreme Court held intact the very purpose of that provision. It has, however, put the credibility o f the CNMI Government at stake in the eyes of developers who meant well when they invested millions of dollars here.

An alternative would be for these developers to sue their attorneys for malpractice. These lawyers have taken every loophole available and exploited it to the hilt hoping that this Covenant Provision would be ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Perhaps this is one of dangers of American Jurisprudence or one of the fallacies of Anglo-Saxon laws— protection for both majority and minority. In the instant case, the interest o f the minority prevailed!

It should also behoove all prospective developers to retain reputable law firms here capable of advising them that this or that form of lease may be very “iffy” , therefore, it is best that we stay within the purview of what Article XII calls for. The one uncertainty that

emerges whenleaseagreements are beingdrawnup is: W hat protection does the investor have upon expiration o f the 55 year lease? D o all improvements to the. property revert to the original landowner or is the renewal provision legal? Unfortunately, a lot is up in the air. The reason is quite simple: Article XU is quite silent on this very issue.

Do we have a solution where both the landowner and investor are given adequate protection? I really don’t have any concrete anwer to this concern and perhaps sharing your views should encourage public discussiononthismatterforthebenefitofallconcems. Don’t be afraid, please speak your mind so that our policymakers can be guided by your sentiments. ·

One of the prominent concerns on “land alienation” is the preservation of ownership of Marianas land for people of CNMI Descent. It sounds quite tall to utter what this Covenant provision calls for. It sounds even immensely comforting to hear it in public hearings or even in court. And we take comfort at the very

S & L d e b a c l e d i d n ’t h a p p e n o n i t s o w nW ASHINGTON— In early 1986,the law firm of Jones, Day, Reavis and Pogue— the world’s second largest— had cause to celebrate after cor- raling Charles Keating’s Lincoln Savings and Loan as a new client. From the start, it was clear that Keating had deep pockets.

According to an internal Jones, Day note, Keating ponied up an unsolicited 5250,000 retainer, promising another $250,000 within weeks. It prompted one Jones, Day attorney to write: “It appears... that American Continental (Lincoln’s parent company) is made for us and we for them.”

Today this note is government evidence. The Resolution Trust Corporation filed a $50 million lawsuit against the firm for allegedly aiding and abetting Keating in the looting of Lincoln. “Our lawyers are going to use it (the note) to show the coopting and seduction of Jones Day,” says one high-level RTC official.

Whether or not Jones, Day was “seduced” will be decided at a civil trial early next year. Jones, Day — which earlier this year agreed to a multimillion- dollar settlement with former American Continental bondholders — insists it’s innocent. One firm executive argues that the representation ofLincoln occurred in early 1986 when Keating “was an upstanding and outstanding memberof the business community.” * Citing thenote,a Jones. Day official pointed out that Keating also expressed his wish for the “best” legal service, indicating he was a “client who realizes you have to pay for value.”

Lincoln’s 1989 collapse will ultimately cost taxpayers nearly $3 billion. Keating is currently on trial for federal bank fraud, and has already been sentenced to 10 years in Cali- fomj^ for securities fraud. Jones, .Day js one of six law firms and two accounting firms against which the goveniirtent has brought claim« in

connection with Lincoln’s collapse.As the statute of limitations winds

down on S&L-era misconduct, what’s evident is this: Some of the worst wrongdoing in the financial industry had the imprimatur of accountants and lawyers. These weren’t fly-by-night fraud artists, but professionals who were employed by some ofthecountry’smostvenerablefiims. Ernst & Young, one of the nation’s Big Six accounting firms, lastmonth paid the govemment$400 million to settle federal complaints over audits ofadozen bankrupt banks andthrifis.

Ernst & Young walks away largely intact The record-setting professional liability settlement leaves the firm on the hook for $100 million, with insurance companies picking up the balance of $300 million. But Emst & Young earned more than $2 billion last year, according to the newsletter Public Accounting Report

utterance o f this phrase where we quietly say “gotcha!"

Therefore, it is quite easy understanding that the intent and purpose o f Article XU is for people of “CNMI Descent”. This brings the· same issue into another level to which we seem somewhat indifferent: Aren’t.the same land being preserved for siblings of foreign ancestry?

Given the increase in inter-mar- riages between indigents and Filipinos, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and Micronesians, it seems quite appropriate as well to accept the notion that our land is also being preserved for our siblings of “foreign ancestry”. True or false?Thinkaboutitandspeakyourmind!

***I often hear the radical view that

we must preserve our land for future generations. Sounds great a political slogan but one that is quite unrealistic when viewed from another perspective. Let’s probe this issue together.

If land preservation is a genuine concern, then it behooves us to condemn all land exchanges pending before the Marianas Public Land Corporation. The reason is quite simple: The implementation of these land exchanges will simply deplete Marianas Land Resources and reduce it to a zero! Out the window goes expressions of concerns for land preservation. I t’s only good for the birds.

But are we willing to face this matter with a sense o f boldness to preserve precious Marianas Land? You may say itm ust be done positively and affirmatively. Wow! It sounds as good rhetoric and political fodder if you’re seeking for a thankless seat in the legislature or any higher office. But when theory and reality collides, any politico will find it very hard satisfying both ends o f the stick. Land is always an emotional issue. I t takes playing the role of God to settle it once and for all.

W e’ve talkedsomuchaboutland. Given the fact that it is a finite resource, don’t you think it is time to begin planning how future gen-

erations may be accommodated in terms of affordable housing as a substitute to the traditional homesteading program? Whether we like it or not, future generations will not enjoy the privilege o f securing homestead lots. I would have to say that anyone who is 13 years old two years ago must make do with what creative housing programs our government may come up with down the stretch. This certainly is one unpleasant agenda for future politicians but one that is inevitable. Again, think about it and let’s take charge of our destiny!

%**The Nakamoto/Torres feud over

the Samoan Housing Area illustrates that a lot o f developers have never really done their homework, specifically, in terms o f how the immediate community feels about a certain facility being built in their vicinity. While we welcome the economic benefits that a certain Nakamoto facility would generate, it should have done the company more good had it sought the sentiments of the community in the Garapan Area about the proposed hotel.

I definitely will support locating the Man Amko Center in the Samoan Housing Area for cultural and aesthetic reasons. The shore and the seá could very well be used

; to revive traditionál net and spear fishing utilizing the skills of our elderly Chamorros and Carolinians in the center. How about reviving canoe sailing. The Samoan Housing Area is the perfect site then for the Man Amko Center. Swimming in the adjacent lagoon is a good form of exercise for our elderly. This and lots of other cultural activities could be formed, revived andeven turned intomoney making ventures to cover incidental expenses for our elderly.

Finally, even up against monied people our sentiments as permanent custodians o f our land matters to us. But if all we get is a weekly dish o f arrogance rather than cooperation, then nothing will work for Nakamoto or any other developer. How small a property itm ay be, the fact remains that it is our land and we will dispose of it in the best way we know how. Thanks.

“Any large failure of a federally insured institution that results from a scheme to divert money or from a fraud or a combination of both really cannot be done without the ac tive participation o f accountants and lawyers,” says one government official involved in recent prosecutions.

Stephen Kalsanos, RTC director of communications, while declining to discuss any particular case, condemns what he calls the outbreak of “malpractice” among professionals. “Our feeling here is that accountants and lawyers occupy a very special position within our society... there’s an expectation that these people are going to keep theirhandsclean,” says Katsanos.

A variety of government officials blame the corruption of professionals on the tremendous pressure that existed in the 1980s — and to some extent persists— to find what’s known in industry parlance as “billable work,” to find big clients in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

> In its lawsuit against Jones, Day, the government clearly believes that the firm saw savings and loan work as a gravy train of “billable work.”Thecomplaintchargesthat,in 1985, as die thrift crisis was spreading,

Jones, Day advertised itself as a firm specializing in S&L regulation. It offered high salaries to lure federal regulators to its firm. William Schilling, director of examinations and supervision for the thrift industry, had actually participated in two of the board’s regulatory actions over Lincoln before Jones Day hired him in 1985.

“Under new management, Lincoln has engaged in several serious regulatory violations,” Schilling warned,and Lincoln is engaged in activities which triggered some of the “worst failures” in deposit insurance history. After leaving the government, the RTC alleges that Schilling met with Keating over lunch in Phoenix, Ariz., to solicit Lincoln’s legal account.

As in thecaseof dozens of other law and accounting firms implicated in other professional liability actions, the Jones, Day case may shed light on a question posed in 1990 by US District Judge Stanley Sporicin, who blasted those accountants and lawyers who helped Keatingbuildhisfraud:“Where were these professionals when these clearly improper transactions were being consummated? Why didn’tany of them speak up or disassociate themselves from the transactions?”

M a f n a s b i l lDear Editor:

As a young student of Marianas Baptist Academy I am so happy to learn that there is a fine gentleman in the Legislature by the name of Jesus P. Mafnas who cares about professionals living in the mainland. Rep. Jesus P. Mafnas introduce a House Bill No. 8-57, titled “Scholars Relocation Benefits”. The bill aims to encourage skilled professionals now living.in the United States to come back to Saipan and help the g o v ern m en t in m o ld ing and training the Saipanese youth in a gainful and profitable endeavor for a better and prosperous Saipan.

I am sure thousands o f students like me would like to see this bill passed into a law, to benefit not only the youth but the old alike.

Just?for a backgrounder and for the general information of those who have not heard of this Bill I would like to cite some of the salient feature of the bill:• HB 8-57 to be known as the

“ Scholars Relocation Benefit” would give resident United Citi-

’ zens or American nationals who have gained educational and training skills in the United States to come back to the island with free transportation expenses for

• him and his dependents provided that he be em ployed and under contract to the government for two years.

Through your widely read and respectable newspaper I would like to congratulate Rep. Mafnas for a job well done and would also like to urge other young students like me to rally behind this very fine Bill so as to hasten the passage o f it into law; Again, I say thank you and more “Kudos” to Rep. Mafnas - please keep up the good work.

Sincerely yours,/s/Piola B. Cam achoStudent o f M arianas Baptist

Dear Editor:I was reading your article on

the D ecem ber 16, 1992 issue claiming that visitor arrivals into the C o m m o n w e a lth o f the Northern M arianas Islands have declined (page 7). I have to make a correction on the reporter's interpretation of the figures.

The reporter interpreted the p e rc e n ta g es c o rre c tly w hen looking at the arrivals from other countries, however, the paragraph claiming that total visitor arrivals went down from 17 percent to 12 percent is incorrect. There was a 17 percent increase in visitors for O ctober o f 1992 com pared to October 1991. Likewise, there was a 12 percent increase in visitors for N ovem ber of 1992

by government and the applicant as security. The $500,000 security requirement should not come from solicitations.

In an affidavit executed and notarized on June 23, Sarkis claimed she owned $700,000 deposited with the Union Bank of Saipan.

Sarkis also listed in her financial statem ent $5.3 million worth o f assets and$141,161 liabilities.

Investigators found out that real properties Sarkis claimed were not actually hers, the government alleged.

The woman allegedly solicited a total of $100,000 in investments from businessman Clifford Leahy in Arizona by claiming that she already had a CNM1 license for Pacific International Bank.

Sarkis allegedly promised to make Leahy the vice president of the bank. No license was ever issued.

Investigators likewise found out that Sarkis borrowed $900,000 from Prime Commercial Corp. of North Carolina and promised to pay the loan in 90 days.

Sarkis allegedly obtained the loan after claiming that aEuropean investor would deposit $52 m illion once the bank was opened.

Prime Commercial was convinced, and gave 5200,000 to Sarkis in April. The remaining 5700,000 was sent by wire transfer from North Carolina to. Union Bank in Saipan in May.

W hile the investiga tion in Saipan was going on, the AG learned that the Sheriff’s Department of Maricopa County in Arizona was investigating a financial crime, also involving Sarkis.

The investigation in Arizona was prompted by acomplaintfiled by Leahy. ;

In Arizona earlier, Sarkis allegedly asked Leahy to invest $5 million for “operating expenses” of the “bank.” She allegedly asked fo r an in itia l inv estm en t o f $100,000.

The businessman gave a total o f $100,000.

Leahy learned later that Sarkis hadfiled apetitionforbankruptcy.

A status conference on the case will be held Jan. 5. (GLD)

G O V E R N O R L o ren zo I. Guerrero has ordered the immediate clean-up o f the juvenile detention facility in Kagman.

G u e rre ro to ld re p o r te rs W ednesday the Department o f Public W orks was helping to fix the place to correct the reported “inhum ane condition” of the detention facility.

“No question that the building needs a lot o f w ork done. In my opinion, we can correct its condi - tion in one week and I want it done,” he said.

G uerrero’s ordered the cleanup after visiting the jail.

He said those in charge of the facility should have maintained its cleanliness.

“This is no issue o f insufficient m anpow er or what. I t is a question o f discipline. Discipline is very im portant and these youngsters should have been taught that,” G uerrero said.

T he filth y condition o f the K agm an co rrec tio n al fac ility p rom pted th e re lease of five young inmates.

Superior Court Judge Alex C. Castro, responding to a motion filed bv the Public Defenders O ffice, ordered the release of the minors to their parents Monday.

Castro visited the jail earlier this m onth and found it filthy, and unfit for humans.

The center dirty stinking toile ts , leak ing ce ilin g s, faulty plum bing fixtures, no running water and dirt and graff iti all over.

The judge said that under the Constitution persons under 18 years old should be protected in criminal judicial proceedings and in conditions of imprisonment.

M eanw hile, the House Comm ittee on Health, Education and W elfare through its chairperson, Rep. Ana S. Teregeyo, urged the governor to rectify the situation.

“W e need not explain in any greater detail the dangers we have placed upon the community by the release o f these juveniles as a result o f a departm ental neglect that should have been addressed a long time ago,” Teregeyo said in a letter to Guerrero.

to Saipan to enjoy a mug of draft beer fresh from the brewery and served inside a brewery because in Japan, no restaurant is allowed to set up its own brewery.

Ordinary beer takes about two months to produce but Boga Boga will come out of its micro-brewery in three days. This is made possible by super brewing system (SBS), a new brewing technology developed by Kirin.

The m ain ingredients for beer p roduction, barley m alt from England and hops from Germany, are mixed in wort pan, a giant cy lin d rica l tank , and passes through several fermenting containers where water (from Saipan) is added.

L an d exchange b en efic iaries w an t h o te l s ites

THE BIG hotel projects are at- tractingprospective beneficiaries o f the governm ent’s land exchange program, this was learned yesterday.

Marianas Public Land Corporation (MPLC) Executive Director W illiam R. Concepcion said some people would not say where they want to get their new land, apparently waiting for the fate of the lease applications pending in the Legislature.

“Some people are changing their minds. When they feel they can profit in Obyan, they want their land exchanges in Obyan. But when they feel Marpi will be developed first, they want to be there too,” Concepcion said.

United Micronesia Developm ent Association (UM DA) is leasing 21 Ohectares of public land in Marpi for a golf course and hotel and is asking for a 15-year extension of their 25-year lease.

Obyan will be the site o f a golf course and resort hotel proposed by Haas & Haynie Inc. and another go lf course by Pacific Resort Development Inc.

Some people are expecting that the Marpi area will be developed first as the UMDA project has become a priority for the governm ent because o f U M D A ’s promise to construct a sanitary landfill in the area.

The proposal will enable the government to close the Puerto Rico dump.

UMDA also pledged to operate and m aintain the proposed a landfill for 12 years.

“It is understandable that our landowners are anticipating brisk economic activity around these developments and want a part in it,” Concepcion said. “I don’t blame them. There is indeed a tremendous potenti al for business in those areas. “

According to Concepcion, land lease and hotel developm ent projects have a “concentric” effect on the community since they will serve as centers of economic activity.

Concepcion cited the Kan Pacific hotel complex in San Roque w hich was the first hotel in northern Saipan. The area now has Hotel Nikko, Hotel Plumeria, Aqua Resort Club, and various shops and restaurants.

The owners of Nikko is now completing the Tropical Plaza, Saipan’s first mall-type shopping center.

‘T hose who receive land holdings in these centers of hotel developments are lucky because a big demand for lease space is imminent and· the land value is expected to be on the rise ,” Concepcion said.

MPLC has designated the wide tracks of public land in the Marpi, Obyan, and Laulau areas as land exchange areas for those whose properties were used by government for public purposes.

Private property may not be taken without just compensation, thus, MPLC is tasked with ensuring that land taken by government under eminent domain will be paid through an equitable land exchange program.

‘T h is is our priority. We are committed to having all land exchanges finalized soon.'So after the PRDI deal, the moratorium on golf courses is on,” Concepcion said. (RHA)

M A JU R O .- A new attitude is evident among Marshall Islanders at the Ministry of health in Majuro, a fact that m ay reflect the continuing trendof advance education on the 'part o f local managers in the top echelon at the Ministry.

“W e M arshallese 'must realize we have the skills,” said Justina Langidrik, the assistant secretary fo r preventive services at the Ministry. “I f we are proud o f our islands and believe in ourselves we can do the job .”

Langidrik, who persevered for years in the early 1980s as the lone health educator with an annual budget o f $600 for the entire nation, said she has a sense of accom plishm ent as well as an understanding o f the need for continued aggressiveness to further preventive health programs launched in the late 1980s.

The 1987 creation o f the preventive bureau, which she now heads, established a framework for improving the community’s access to health, said Langidrik, who recently returned to Majuro after com pleting her m aster’s degree in public health at the University o f Hawaii. Prior to 1987, the M inistry operated an American-style hospital program, geared to curative services. Since the late 1980s, the Marshalls has promoted preventive health programs as they key to improving inadequate health standards here.

A key element Langidrik sees w ith M arshallese taking over positions formerly held by expatriates is that they know what will and w on’t work here, and can adapt program s to fit specific n e e d s o f th e co m m u n ity . Langidrik noted an increasingly high standard o f training in the M inistry, commenting that four others in the Ministry, including the other two assistantsecretaries, have m aster’s degrees, and there are sev e ra l fo re ig n -tra in e d Marshallese doctors and nurses practicing at the hospital.

Increasing the role of outer islands health staff as health educators - and not merely as providers of medication - has been encouraged by an ongoing program o f p re v e n tiv e h ea lth trainings held during the past several yearsforhealth assistants, tra d itio n a l b ir th a tten d an ts (TBAs) and the wives of health assistants. Recognizing theTBAy and training them has helped to involve them in health care delivery - which is essential in islands where' cultural constraints may prevent the m ostly male health assistants from examining w om en for preventable health problems.

In addition, services that before were available only in Majuro - or on the outer islands only when M ajuro-based health staff visited - can now be provided directly by the outer islands health assistants,

including family planning, diabetes and hypertension counseling, contraceptives and im m unizations.

“B efore only public health nurses from M ajuro did immunizations on the outer islands when they could get there by ship, which was infrequent,” she said. “Now w e’re training the health assistants to d o it. Twelve have been trained and vaccines are sent out to these health assistants who do im m unizations around their atolls.”

In reaction to comments that because Hawaii-based Marimed Foundation has pulled its health sh ip “T ole M our: ou t o f the M arshalls, and other expatriate health staff have left in recent m onths, the health system will decline, Langidrik said. “Just because there is no M arim ed doesn’t mean w e’re going to stop going to the outer islands. There are M arshallese who can do the

M A JU RO - World W ar E com pensation payments for the people of Mili Atoll in the M arshall Islands are still several m onths away, according to the Saipan- based Micronesja Legal Services attorney handling the case, although the money - now $1.1 million - was provided by the US in the late 1980s, it has been tied up by disputes over who should receive the money.

Linda Wingenbach, in M ajuro from the Saipan headquarters o f Micronesian Legal Services, held meetings this week w ith M ili traditional chiefs, Senator Kejjo Bien, councilmembers, and the High Court. Mili was a m ajor Japanese military base during the war, and sustained heavy dam age from American bombers during the latter stages o f the Pacific war.

Before the $1.1 m illion W orld W ar E claims money can be released there will be a process to involve public comment so that no mistakes are made in the distribution of the money, she said. Wingenbach, who until recently directed the Legal Services office in Majuro, said she is aware that there have been many rum ors flying about the distribution and commented, “W e want to assure people that we’re not going to rush into the distribution until we have the correct names for the correct welos (land parcels).

“W e want to move as quickly

as possible, but we want to take enough time so we don’t make a mistake.”

The Mili traditional leaders this week gave Wingenbach a list o f the people they agree are the alab (clan heads) and dri jerbal (workers or commoners) for Mili lands. Wingenbach said this list will be publicized in the next few weeks to allow M ili landowners to see if they are in agreement with the people so designated in W orld W arE are included.

“We want to find out if w e’ve made any mistakes,” she said. “If it is merely a mistake, w e’ll correct it. But if people cannot agree, then we will consider it as a disputed weto.”

Wingenbach said they want to insure equal distribution to all the wetos. In addition to Mili islanders living on Mili, she said she has been in contact with Mili landowners in M ajuro, Guam, Saipan and United States, many o f whom may have an interest in the distribution of the money.

After they have received comm ents fro m ' the p u b lic Wingenbach said she will go to the High Court and present a list for distribution, and request that the High Court authorize payments for lands where there is no dispute and hold money in escrow for lands where disputes mustfirst be resolved.

The earliest the money could be distributed would be three months from now if everything worked, she said.

“Maybe our stand or delivering care to the outer islands doesn’t meet an outside standard, but i t ’s our standard that we need tom eet.”

Langidrik said that the health workers on the outer islands need to be applauded for the work they are doing under ofteiPtrying circumstances. Outside agencies like Marimed can come in and get all the credit for health im provements, but the health assistants were providing services before they came and will be there long after foreigners are gone, she said.

The fact that health staff don’t get recognized for the work they do may be a reason that they are not always motivated about their work, she said. In addition, improving the flow of supplies and communication between Majuro and the outer islands will boost morale.

“Our health assistants get depressed when medications don’t arrive on time,” she said. An emphasis o f the preventive bureau in 1993 will be to improve com m unication and coordination with the outer islands, she said.

Concluding their meeting both men agreed that there seemed to be some movement in the right direction, but that much still remained to be done to correct problems in the CNMI and satisfy congressional concerns.

Payne p rom ised to inform Babauta before taking any further action on his bill, for his part, Babauta promised to continue updating Payne on any CNMI government action to solve the minim um w age and im m igration problems.

Q u a l i t y i m p r o v e m e n t

t a s k f o r c e p r o p o s e dREPRESENTATIVE Herman T. Guerrero has proposed the establishment o f a task force to im prove government operations.

“These times o f fiscal slowdown and revenue shortfalls significantly im pacting the Com monwealth budget and the delivery of services require the responsible stew ardsh ip of the CNM I’s resources,” he said.

Guerrero prefiled House Bill 8- 192 to establish a quality im provement task force.

According to Guerrero, trends in national and international corporate management studies in the private sector reveal the need for a model for the delivèry of prod

ucts and services with a focus on the enhancem ent o f performance, called “ total quality m anagem ent.”

‘T here is a need for the creation within governmental agencies of a spirit o f jo in t problem-solving in order to provide swift, efficient and quality public service. The task force I envision will draw up a process to assure quality m anagement,” Guerrero said in his bill.

The task force will have seven members. Four members are to be appointed by the governor, three from the private sector and one from Civil Service. O f the three private sector members at

Court asked to suppress evidence on ammo caseBUSINESSM AN John T. Sablan and Jose C. Terlaje have asked the court to suppress the evidence in the illegal importation of am- muni tion charge filed against them in October.

Sablan and Terlaje claimed in their affidavits that a customs officer inspected Sablan’s bag while the businessman was not present.

Terlaje said that after they arrived on a Continental flight from Guam the night of Oct. 6, Sablan asked permission to go out of the customs area to get his car and park it in front of the arrival'area.

It was during that time, Terlaje sa id , tha t a custom s o fficer checked the bag of Sablan where 347 rounds of 30-caliber carbine bullets were allegedly found.

The motion cited customs rales and regulations that say, “where customs officials can search luggage without the presence of either the passenger or his representative or the representative of the airline carrier, the product of that search should be suppressed since it was done in violation o f customs rules and regulations.”

Sablan was set to stand trial on Jan. I I .

Sablan, a son-in-law o f Governor Lorenzo I. G uerrero, and Terlaje were arrested after the bullets were discovered.

The bullets were packed in cellular phone boxes, a flashlight and a deodorant container.

Illegal importation of ammunition is punishable by imprisonment of up to five years and/or fine of not more than $5,000. (GLD)

PSS to expand accreditation program in '93PUBLIC School Commissioner W illiam S. Torres has announced plans to include all public elementary and middle schools in an accreditation program similar to one now underway in the public high schools.

Two PSS elementary schools, Tanapag and San Vicente have applied for interim accreditation and will be visited March 25 - 26 by a teaiilfrom the Accrediting Commission for Schools, W estern Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS, W ASC) for a preliminary study. W ith positive recommendations from the visiting team, the schools can receive full interim accreditation status while they prepare themselves for long term accreditation.

H opw ood J r . H ig h and G arapan, O leai, G regorio T. Camacho and R ota elementary schools have applied to begin the p ro c e ss b u t h a v e n o t been scheduled. W illiam S. Reyes, San Antonio Tinian Elementary will jo in the process in 1994, he said.

Torres said that during the October accreditation assistance visit by Dr. Moss Ikeda, education consultant, several PSS elemen-. tary school principals and PTAs had voiced a strong interest in taking part in the current CNMI Public School System accreditation program in which each o f the PSS high schools is reviewed periodically by ACS, WASC.

“Because accreditation is an important element of our PSS school im provem ent program plans, I have encouraged the interested principals to leam more about the process, so that there’s genuine commitment by both the school staff and community as school accreditation isn ’t a ‘one- m an s h o w .’ I t ’s a school-com m unity team effort and a real professional challenge for the best o f schools,” he said.

Paz Younis, PSS accreditation coordinator, said the education accreditation program is used to improve an education program such as PSS. As part of the accrediting procedure, she said, school staff, students and com munity members such as the PTA assess the quality o f its own education program in light o f a h igh quality criteria that are general guidelines of an effective education program and services set by the W estern Association of Schools and Colleges, one o f six regional accrediting associations in the US.

The School forms a plan for education program change based on its self-study and on its own estab lished p riorities for im provement, she said.

PSS now has the three public high schools accredited through the W estern A sso c ia tio n o f Schools and Colleges. Marianas H igh School and R ota H igh S choo l began as acc red ited schools in 1986 and Tinian High School joined them in 1991.

f r o m s h i p sPEOPLE concerned about the condition of beaches which are near ports and exposed to pollution from ships, are urged to report to authorities any dumping of waste from the vessels.

John F. Furey, coordinator of the C oastal Resources and Management, said International and US laws provide for a five of up to $25,000 each time a person is caught dumping trash within harbors.

In the mainland, Furey said, the primary agency enforcing the laws against dumping of trash in harbors is the Coast Guard.

Furey said information about waste dumping in the harbor may be relayed to the Coast Guard representative in the Northern Marianas,Lt. Michael Drew, or the CRM.

Because of the difficulty of identifying ships discarding waste, Furey said it would be better if violators were caught in the act.

Furey told the students what they could do to help catch violators. (GLD)

t o b e d e c i d e d s o o nT H E C O A S T A L R eso u rces M anagement will decide in January w hether to allow Coral Ocean Point’s project to install lighting fixtures for night golfing.

CRM Administrator Joaquin P. Villagomez said the agency was waiting for the result o f the Division o f Fish and W ild Life’s study on the impact o f the lights to the bay area.

If approved, Villagomez said, the $1.5 m illion project would be the first night golf course facility in the Pacific.

Under the application for per- mi t submitted by M ike Im ai, COP president, m ore than 20 steel towers will be instalsled for the lights.

Villagomez said the proposal earlier stated that 30 light towers will be installed but because of the concern on the impact o f the lights to the natural habitat, the proponents volunteered to reduce the towers to less than 30.

The lights will cover the first nine holes of the course.

V illagom ez said the proposed night golf course was patterned after a sim ilar facility in Japan.

Imai earlier told Villagomez that the installation of a lighting system onhalf o f the course would enable golfers who have work during the day to play during the night.

Under the present setup, only tourists and retired employees can play during the day. (GLD)

fined another for violating program rules.

T he Frank Paulino Retail Store in T am uning was disqualified after a series o f routine investigations revealed that the store accepted food stamps for such ineligble item s as aluminum foil, dishw ashing liquid and shampoo, the USD A said Tuesday.

T he store also sold five six- packs o f beer for food stamps, a m ajor violation of program rules, the department said in a statement.

J-M arket in Anigua, was fined $10,980 in lieu of a six-month disqualification for selling two six-packs of beer and one four- pack of wine beverages for food stamps, the statement said.

The store was fined rather than disqualified from the program because the USDA determined that food stamp recipients in the area would be negatively impacted by removal of the store from the program, the statement said.

Food stamps can be used only to buy food for human consumptio n o r seeds or p la n ts fo r household food production.

Nearly 211 stores in Guam are authorized to participate in the Food Stamp Program, which annually accounts for $16.2 million in food sales, the USDA said.

In fiscal 1992, which ended on Sept. 30, Guam retailers accepted an additional $ 12.2 million in food stamps for disaster relief.

P H N O M P E N H , C am b o d ia (AP) - Radical Khmer Rbuge guerrillas Thursday released 21 United Nations soldiers they had seized earlier this week in the second such incident this month, a spokesman for the UN mission said. The 21 include four UN military observers - from France, the United States, China and Senegal _ 15 Indonesian soldiers and two Cambodian translators. They were seized Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tw o weeks ago, six peacekeepers - from B rita in , the Philippines and New Zealand - were held for three days before being released unharmed. · UN spokesman Eric Fait said the circum stances su rro u n d in g the seizure of the soldiers remained unclear, but he confirmed that this morning they left O Sala village where they had been held and would be returning to Phnom Penh.

The village is lOkilometers (six miles) eastof the provincial capital o f Kompong Thom, 150 kilom eters (93 m iles) northw est o f Phnom Penh. Fait said that m ore than ha lf a dozen UN peacekeepers were remaining behind to discuss the incident with local Khmer Rouge commanders. H e said the situation in Kompong Thom remained “tense.” “The (Khmer Rouge) office here said

they knew nothing about it, but they swiftly issued an order from Phnom Penh ordering their release,” Fait said before the release. T he captive group had radio c o n ta c t w ith th e ir base in Kompong Thom, he added.

The names of those who were held have not been released.

The new seizures were likely to heighten fears that fighting could resume in Cambodia. The UN has come under increasing attack from the Khmer Rouge, which refuses to disarm as stipulated in peace accords signed under UN auspices last year.

In the earlier seizure of UN peacekeepers, the Khmer Rouge soldiers said their captives would not be released until government troops withdrew from the area. The Khmer Rouge also accused the six captured men o f spying for the Vietnamese-backed Phnom Penh government.

The UN refused to consider the demand and the six were freed after the local commander holding them received orders from a higher authority. Fait said he believes the latest group of captives also was being held by a local commander acting on his own initiative.

The drama beganTuesday when a French and a Chinese military observer set off from Kompong Thom heading for the village of

Ampus just outside the town.“About noon, they reported to

their sector headquarters that they were leaving their vehicle and going to O Sala village to meet w ith a (Khm er Rouge) local commander,” Fait told reporters.

‘T hey did not return and the next morning we sent two more observers, one American and one from Senegal, along with an Indonesian platoon," he said, ‘T hey found the (observer’s) vehicle along the road and proceeded to O Sala w ith a (K hm er R ouge) guide.”

Fait said that when UN officials notified the local Khmer Rouge representative, he was sur- prised but acted quickly.

“In less than two hours he (told) us an order had been issued for the release,” Fait said. “It does appear the local commander acted on his own and that the higher authorities did not have knowledge of the action.” Fait saida second group o f 11 Indonesian soldiers and their Indonesian commander set up a temporary base about500 meters from where the peacekeepers were being held.

About 22,000 UN soldiers and officials are in the country under the terms o f last year’s peace accord.

Their mission is to disarm the warring factions and guide the country through democratic elections next May.

stage strik e in M anilaM A N ILA (AP) - A left-wing transport federation announced W ednesday it would stage a one- day strike to protest a pending electricity rate increase and plans to scale down passenger jeeps from M anila’s streets.

M edardoRoda, president o f the PISTON, the largest federation o f passenger jeep operators, said jeep drivers would begin the strike a t m id n ig h t (1 6 0 0 G M T ) W ednesday in metropolitan M anila.

The state-run National Power C o rp ., has an n o u n ced a 18 centavo (72 cent) per kilowatt hour rate increase effective Dec.26.

The jeeps, or “jeepneys,” are the principal m eans o f public transport in this city o f 8 million people.

Other associations, which collectively include a majority o f the drivers, have decided not to join the strike. The Department of T ran sp o rta tio n sa id m ilitary trucks and buses would be made available to com m uters along PISTO N ’S routes.

Last week, jeepney drivers went on strike in cities throughout Mindanao, the second largest of the 7,100 Philippine islands, to protest the power increase.

The strike lasted only a few days but severely curbed transport on the island.

In announcing the strike, Roda urged other workers not to report to their jobs Thursday.

“W e are requetsing the people, the students and the workers, not to report to work tomorrow because what we are fighting for is not on the rerouting but also the rise in the cost of electricity,” Roda said.

President Fidel R am os’ administration has called for phasing out the cum bersom e jeepneys from major routes in M anila to ease the city’s horrible congestion.

M uch o f the traffic problem is caused by jeepneys, which routinely stop at intersections and in the middle o f streets to take от and discharge passengers.

“We should unite in telling the government that the program they are trying to implement will not

bring good to the people but will bring more m iseries,” Roda said.

The electricity price increase com es amid a grave shortage which has resulted in lengthy power cuts in M anila and other m ajor c ities. O n W ednesday, power was cut in the capital for six hours.

R a m o s v i s i t s T h a i l a n dM ANILA (AP) - PresidentFidcl Ramos leaves yesterday on a four-day visit to Thailand, his second foreign trip since taking office June 30.

It will be the first official visit to Thailand by a Philippine head ‘ of state since the late President Ferdinand M arcos traveled there in 1968.

Both countries are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Ramos went to Brunei last October for celebra-

lions marking the 25th anniversary o f the reign o f Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

During the visit, Ramos is expected to discuss expanded trade and commercial ties, including the ASEAN Free Trade Association which is to become effective Jan. 1.

Ramos is to pay a courtesy call on King Bhumipol and also hold talks with Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai before returning to Manila on Sunday.

Groups seek renegotiation of trade pact

B y M ichelle M itte ls ta d t

WASHINGTON (AP) - Labor, rural, conservation,consumer and church groups on W ednesday asked President-elect Clinton to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The three-nation pact is schedu led for- cerem onial signings yesterday in Washington, Ottawa and M exico City.

A coalition of more than 50 organizations, claiming to represen t 40 m illio n A m erican s, branded President Bush’s scheduled White House signing ceremony Thursday an act of a “lame duck (defeated)” president.

They said the treaty would benefit m ain ly m ultina tional corporations at the expense of American workers, damage the environment and weaken US laws and the authority o f Congress.

The critics sent Clinton a letter applauding his campaign com mitment to negotiate additional agreements on US worker retraining and environmental standards but said this would not be enough to correct basic flaws of the treaty, called by its initials NAFTA.

“W e feel that a fundamental recasting of the Bush agenda embodied in the NAFTA is required ... we ask that you reconsider the NAFTA text.”

A campaign for renegotiation o f the treaty and rejection by Congress in its current form will be launched Thursday — treaty signing day — with advertisem ents in nationally circulated newspapers and. in A rkansas, Clinton’s home state, the organizations announced at a news conference.

“NAFTA would undermine labor, environmental and other social standards including democratic and human rights by encouraging com petition based upon the lowest possible standards,” according to the ad text.

“Bush’s N AFT A represents the failed policies of a defeated administration,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a Clinton supporter and leader in the president-elect’s Democratic Party.

“We need a treaty that protects those who are most vulnerable from the power and greed of those who possess great wealth.”

The Bush administration maintains that the pact would create jo b s and tha t as M e x ic o ’s economy grows it would commit more to environmental cleanup.

The critics ranging from the Sierra Club to several strong trade unions, the National Farm ers Union and Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition of blacks and other m inorities said they would mobilize grassroots opposition and dem onstrations at such places as the US-Mexican border and closed factories

The agreement, scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 1994, would remove tariffs and other barriers to the movement of goods, services and investment among the three countries with a total population of 360 million.

Business/FinancegsSSiClinton must produce planB y T o m R a u m

L IT T L E R O C K , A rk (AP) - After giving the nation a televised seminar on the dilemma he faces in reviving- the economy without widening the deficit, Presidentelect Clinton now must produce a . plan to do it.

W ith the econom ic sum m it ended, Clinton and his economic team have just over a month topu t together the far-reaching economic package that he made the centerpiece of his campaign.

“W e’re going to be ready to go on Day One,” transition comm unications d irec to r G eorge S tep h an o p o u lo s asse rted on Wednesday.

The broad outlines o f the program are well known: a shift of tax burden to the upperclass from the middle class; increased federal spending for highways and mass transit projects; and tax breaks for long-term investm ents by business and individuals.

These would be followed by a comprehensive plan to overhaul

health care by limiting costs and providing for universal insurance coverage.

But there remains a scarcity of details.

And the president-elect was vague - apparently intentionally so - on disclosing decisions on the economic program during the summit. Aides said the two-day conference was designed more as an educational tutorial than a forum to preview C linton’s plan.

The former Arkansas governor seemed particularly indecisive

about a short-term stimulus plan, saying he hadn’t decided on how big it should be or even if he would offer one. And he seemed to agonize over the difficulty of prodding the economy without aggravating the deficit crisis.

Is Clinton hestitant to make the tough choices that the economic program will require? That was a criticism levelled by many at the last Democratic president who enjoyed studyng a problem from many angles, Jimmy Carter.

H O N G K O N G (A P) - Asian stock m ark e ts c lo sed m ixed W ednesday, but share prices rose sharply in Hong Kong because of the easing of the Sino-British row over the future o f the territory.

The Hang Seng Index, the Hong Kong m arket’s key indicator of blue chips, rose 100.15 points to close at 5,415.96.

U N ITED NATIONS (AP) - UN economists on W ednesday predicted the slow recovery in the world economy would continue in 1993 but said US expansion is expected to exceed that in the European Community.

‘T h e current outlook is for a very slow average pace of recovery in 1993, with output expected to rise only 2 percent” worldwide, said a report by the UN Department o f Economic and Social Development. It said that virtually all international institutions, including the International M onetary Fund, have been too optimistic about the strength of the recovery.

It noted that the world economy in 1992 grew by only 0.4 percent, including 1.5 percent in industrial countries, 4.5 percent in developing countries, and a collapse of 18.4 percent in the transitional economies in Eastern Europe and the successor states of the former Soviet Union.

Next year, the department predicted anemic growth rates in developed m arket econom ies, with Europe at 1 percent, Japan at 2.6 percent and the United States at 2.3 percent. “A strong and sustained economic upswing is unlikely,” it said.

B ut dev e lo p in g c o u n tr ie s ’ economies, it said, will grow at

the fastest overall rate since the 1970s, especially in Asia. I t predicted an expansion of overall output in their economies at a rate of 5 percent in 1993, well above population growth and the highest rate in the last 13 years.

But the rapid growth will remain concentrated in a dozen countries in Asia and a few Latin American economies, it said.

It predicted Latin America and the Caribbean economies would grow by 2 percent, Africa by 2.3 percent, W est Asia at 5 percent, South and EAst Asia at 5.5 percent.

W orld trade grew by 4.5 percent last year, it said.

D o l l a r s e t t l e s l o w e r ; g o l d s o a r sNEW YORK (AP) - The US dollar settled mostly lower Tuesday on world currency markets, where the Japanese yen dominated trading.

Gold prices rose sharply. On the New York Commodity Exchange, gold bullion for current delivery settled at $337.90 a troy ounce, up $3.40 from Tuesday. Republic National Bank said gold added $2.95 an ounce to a late bid price of $337.50.

Analysis said the dollar sold off overnight in foreign markets, and the selling continued when trading shifted to the United Slates. “The downside looked like the path of least resistance,” said Marc Chandler, an analyst with the advisory firm IDEA.

Trading was very light. Dealers could not explain why the dollar

failed to get a boost from continuing reports showing improvement in the US economy. The goverment reported a 0.4 percent increase in industrial production in November while housing starts rose 1.5 percent to the highest level in eight months.

But because the US currency failed to rally on the positive economic news as well as on the lingering turmoil among selected European currencies, traders became more bearish about the dollar’s near-term prospects.

Chandler said much of the day’s activity focused on the Japanese yen. TTiere were reports of large- scale yen-buying by Japanese corporations who in turn sold dollars and German marks.

“In recent days the (Japanese) Ministry of International Trade and

Industry has been calling for yen appreci ation to help blunt possible protectionist sentim ent due to Japan’s swelling trade surplus,” he said.

In Tokyo, the dollar closed at 123.87 yen, up 0.04 yen from Tuesday’s close. But later in London, the dollar was quoted at 122.90 yen. In New York the dollar settled at 122.95 yen, down from 123.95 yen on Tuesday.

The British pound was quoted at S1.5775 in London, up from S1.56801ateTuesday. In New York it cost $1.5745 to buy one pound, more expensive than Tuesday’s 51.5675.

Other late dollar rates in New Y ork, com pared w ith late Tuesday’s rates included: 1.5575 German marks, down from 1.5685; 1.3990 Swiss francs.

*“The tough choices are com

ing,” Stephanopoulos promised.Robert Shapiro, a W ashington-

based Clinton economic adviser, said that the president-elect “is. anything but indecisive. He is deliberate and serious.”

“He ran on an economic program, was elected on published economic program. And that’s the program h e ’ll carry out.”

Actually, C linton’s economic staff has been at work on an economic program for weeks and has prepared a foot-thick set of policy options.

Among the options, transition sources said, are various short- range stimuli, from a $20 billion package to one o f around $60 billion. There is also a plan for no additional spending.

C linton’s overall package is expected to include a variety of tax changes, including the proposed rise in taxes on households earning over $200,000 a year that'

• he talked about in his campaign.Among other items expected to

wind up in Clinton’s economic package are a business tax credit to encourage new investment in plants and buildings and new tax breaks for families with children and for the working poor.

Other tax changes are likely to include lcw er capital gains taxes and tax breaks for businesses that locate in inner cities and other urban “enterprise zones.”

Clinton has made it clear that his plan will also call for long- range additional spending - he calls it “ investment” - on highways, bridges,mass transit system s, water and sew er plans, communications projects and on job-training and educational programs.

It was still not clear what form the m iddle-class tax cut that C lin ton prom ised during his campaign would take.

Stephanopoulos on Wednesday also said Clinton would take under consideration the possibility o f an increased gasoline tax - urged by some participants at the conference - even though he has not advocated it in the past.

“His position is that, if we have a gas tax, it does not impact adversely on middle-income families,” Stephanopoulos said.

Third World debt crisis eases - WB

By Carl Hartman

W A S H IN G T O N (A P) - T he W orld Bank said Thursday that the Third Wcirld debt crisis that began a decade ago is easing, except in the poorest countries and the former Soviet republics. For those republics, it is only beginning.

A lthough R ussia , and other former Soviet republics are behind in payments on their foreign debts, some o f their new business people have found illicit ways to pile up billions o f dollars abroad, according to the W orld Bank report on debt in 1991.

“The debt crisis is over fo r the commercial banks and is in the process o f being solved in several middle income countries but is far from over in the low income countries,” said D.C. Rao, director o f the bank’s International Economic Department, in presenting its annual review of debt.

“T he fo rm er S ov ie t U nion presents an additional external financing problem,” he said.

Estimates o f R ussia’s foreign debt run as high as $86 billion, with $18 billion past due.

The former Sovietrepublics are new members o f the W orld bank and are now getting hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from it. The bank’s annual report on world debt, made public yesterday, covered the Third W orld, East Europe and, for the first time, the former Soviets.

The report cited estim ates of other agencies on illegal foreign deposits o f institutions in the former Soviet republics, ranging from $3 billion to $14 billion for 1991 alone.

It said the Russians use various schemes to get hold o f marks or dollars and deposit them in the W est, instead o f bringing them home so their government can m eet its foreign debts.

_ A Russianfactory ships goods to the West and reports to Moscow that the buyer has refused to pay. The buyer has in fact paid, but the Russian seller has used some of the money to buy western goods, which he can sell profitably at home, and has deposited the rest in a western bank.

_ A Russian imports goods from the West, but the invoice reports a larger quantity than is actually

W A W e l e c t s

’9 3 o f f i c e r sW ORLD Association o f W omen elected their 1993 Club Officers early this month.

Elected club president was Lisa Trousedale. Heather M cGee was voted vice p resid en t.. The new secretary and treasurer are Deena Drieu and Luz Barizo, respectively. Kamela Jones was chosen publicity chairperson; and Leo B o rja and N icho l F o re lli as gourm et representatives.

Connei Keney and Benlie Dela C ruz were both selected as advisors to the board.

shipped to him. Russian authorities make the hard currency available for thé amount o f the invoice and the W estern exporter gets the money. He deposits the excess to the R ussian 's account in the exporter’s country.

_ A Russian sets up a company in,the west. Russia and the other republics, still struggling to draft the laws needed by private enterprise on their own soil, have not yet got around to regulating these “offshore” companies.

The World Bank report said the grand total owed by the Third W orld countries, East Europe and the former Soviet Union, would reach $1.7 trillion by the end of the year, up nearly $100 billion from 1991.

The Soviet Union had a reputation for prompt and full paym ent o f what it owed. Between 1985 and 1989, i t g o t a lo t o f “perestroika loans” - credits from banks and governments to supp o rt P re s id e n t M ik h a il Gorbachev’s liberalizing policies.

By 1990 it was $4.5 billion behind in its payments o f principal and interest, according to the bank.

by Sally Rivera

Somehow we never tire of looking for deliciously new tidbits to serve with cocktails. I t’s holiday time, the following new recipes for nibbling foods may well join your list o f party favorites. They can be made ahead of time and chilled, or baked just before serving.

Aerospace industry loses 117,000 jobs

B y H arry F. R o se n th a l

W A SH IN G T O N (AP) - The aero sp ace industry issued a gloomy year-end report W ednesday, including a loss of 117,000 jobs in 1992, andsaidthings aren’t expected to get much better the rest of the decade.

“Almost every statistical category is down from the previous year,” Don Fuqua, president of the Aerospace Industries Association told an annual luncheon. ‘T o ta l sales are down by $5 billion, new orders down by almost $30 billion and year-end backlog down by $25 billion.”

. He suggested that the incoming Clinton administration courts loss

of the United States’ “strong and preeminent position in the world community, if it carries out its promised defense reductions to levels below those contemplated by the Bush administration.”

The Aerospace Industries Association represents 57 o f the country’s biggest defense firms.

Fuqua was m ost disturbed by what he called “ the growing nationalization of the US aerospace industry,” through a process the government calls “depot maintenance.”

He said the term is much more than overhaul and maintenance, but also entails modifications, conversions and system upgrades.

The Departm ent o f Defense

spends annually more than $20 billion on this type of work, and by far the major portion of the work is performed at 3 6 of its own facilities with 150,000 workers, he said.

He said the association learned recently that the Air Force may be planning to assemble the F-22 fighter, a new aircraft, in new facilities.

“Clearly this far exceeds mere depot maintenance,” Fuqua said. “In other words, there is a vast governm ent-operated industrial complex duplicating the capability o f the aerospace-defense industry and competing with private industry.”

U N agency meets today on KAL probeM O N T R E A L (AP) - The Interna tiona l, C iv il A v ia tio n Organization will-meet today to consider re-opening its investigation of the 1983 dow ning of Korean Airlines Flight 007 by a Soviet warplane.

A spokesman, Hutton Archer, said W ednesday that representatives of South Korea, Russia, the United States and Japan subm itted a jo in t request to the UN agency this month.

The Boeing747 was flying from A nchorage, Alaska, to Seoul, South Korea, when it was shot down after straying into Soviet air space. All 269 people aboard died.

Archer said the decision to ask the UN agency for a new investig a tio n cam e a fte r R u ss ia announced it would turn over the plane’s cockpi t voice recorder and its flight data recorder.

Soviet officials, who argued the jetliner was on a spy mission, had kept secret that the recorders were recovered.

Korea and the United States have denied the airliner was involved in in te lligence w ork. Russian President Boris Yeltsin released documents earlier this

• year saying the recorder data should be kept secret because it undercut the Soviet version.

The cause o f the plane being off course has not been determined. Speculation has centered on the crew wrongly programming the computerized navigation system and equipment malfunctioning.

A previous investigation by the UN aviation agency was inconclusive due to a lack of evidence.

P i r a t e s m o v e t o n e w a r e a sSIN G A PO R E (AP) - The latest acts of piracy in Southeast Asian waters suggest that the marauders may have moved following a crackdown in their old haunts, shipping officials said Wednesday.

Tw o merchant ships were hit last week outside areas o f known pirate activity.

“Both attacks are in locations where no previous attacks have been reported this year. It is feared that pirates may have moved on to new areas, possibly due to increased patrols at present danger areas,” said M azlan Abdul Samad, regional manager o f the International Maritime Bureau.

He wojks at the London-based bureau’s regional piracy center in Kuala Lpmpur, which was established in September to coordinate the crackdown. A British captain and his Filipino first mate were killed in a raid on the Danish-owned Baltim arZephir when it was 200 miles north o f Jakarta, it was announced Tuesday. Capt. John Bashforth, 50, and Teodolfo Pereja were shot dead in the attack on Dec. 12.

Pirates stole goods worth dlrs 3.06 million from the 500-gross ton Far Trader off Natuna Island, northwest o f Borneo, on Dec. 6. The crew of the Panama-registered freighter were not hurt.

Details o f the attack on the Bahamas-registered Baltimar Zephir are still sketchy, but the other incident looks prearranged by those with inside knowledge.

S u l t a n s m a y l o s e i m m u n i t yK U A LA LU M PU R , M alaysia (AP) - Parliament will meet Jan. 18-20 to revoke the immunity from prosecution enjoyed by the sultans of the nine M alaysian states, Prime M inister M ahathir M ohamad said W ednesday.

Party officials said they were confident the constitutional revision needed to revoke the immunity would pass.

M ahathir’s ruling coalition controls more than 80 percent of the seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate is almost entirely government-appointed.

The government’s action followed a police report made by field hockey coach Douglas Gomez on Dec. 6 alleging that he was assaulted by the ruler of Johore state, Sultan Iskander Ismail, at the Johore palace 300 kilometers (180 miles) south o f here.

Gom ez had strongly criticized the Johore Education Department’s request for his College Sultan Abu Bakar hockey team to withdraw from a national meet match in which they were leading.

Mahathir said the rights of citizens should be protected in a parliamentary democracy. He said rulers should not be permitted to assault or kill people.

Earthquake victims buriedM A U M ERE, Indonesia (AP) - Rescuers conducting mass burials after a weekend earthquake described W ednesday an eerie scene of desolation on a tiny island where giant tidal waves swept most of the population to its death.

‘T h e whole island has been vacated and it is now practically empty, like a ghost island,” said Col. Djoko Pourwoko of Pulau Babi, or “pig island,” most o f whose population of 1,000 perished in the earthquake.

The army continued to carry out mass burials Wednesday of die nearly 2,500 people who died. Hundreds of bodies had washed ashore by midday Tuesday and others remained pinned in die rubble of flattened homes and buildings.

Arifin Kammi, die regent of Sclayar in southern Sulawesi island, said the quake also killed 19 people on Sulawesi, which is about 300 kilometers (185 miles) across the Flores Sea from Flores.

Government offices are still closed, and the state-owned Bank Rakyat Indonesia was doing business in tents because employees were afraid to go into the bank’s offices.

Authorities are also concerned about the short supply of water.An Indonesian airforce Hercules aircraft landed at M aumere airport

Tuesday bringing medical supplies and food.An Australian plane also landed late Tuesday with hundreds of tents,

clothes, several generators, medical supplies and food.Saturday’s earthquake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale according to

Indonesian officials, but the US Geological Survey in M enlo Park, Calif., estimated it at 7.5.

U nder the w ings o f veterans Ed Cabrera and Kw ang Young K im , Saipan produce a much younger and determined group during the 43rd F iL A m International Tournament:

Since 1985, Saipan was not able to bring home the 1st place trophy. B ut 1992 was totally a different story as Saipan team perform w ell from the beginning o f the hig h ly com petitive tourney. T h is year the F il-A m have a record num ber o f participants at last count 814 and still going. The islanders were declared winners after 4 days o f grueling com petition. Saipan team was right in the top 10 since the beginning of the toumey.

A fter day 1 of competition w ith the steady perform ance of Jess “ Bangkok K id ” Taitano and Lou “ Green H ills ” K apileo had Saipan in 5th place follow ed by 7th place after two days o f tournament. H ow ever, day 3 got the attention o f everybody when K w ang Young “K iss in ” K im and Jay “Sweet” Sorensen got going with 24 and 21 points respectively. G oing into the fin a l day o f com petition, Saipan trailed 3rd day leader V illam or by 10 points and home team Cam p John H ay by 2 points. But w ith a different breed w ith very m uch at stake, Saipan was not be denied the first place trophy in class B during the 43rd A nnual M en’s F il-A m International G o lf Tournament held at Baguio Country C lub and Cam p John Hay, Baguio C ity, Philippines, D ec. 7 -1 2 ,19 9 2 .

H alfw ay thru the toumey had Saipan in 3rd place as Jess “ Boboy” W abol garnered 24 points w hile K apileo, Sorensen, K im and Captain E d Cabrera chipped in w ith their share o f points. The fin a l day o f com petition had everyday going as each team member again perform w ell once again as W abol top the 30 points bracket. A lso Captain Ed Cabrera probably played the best g o lf o f h is life by chipping in 21 points to ensure Saipan the cham pionship in their class.

It was a great performance by the team and we encourage our people to help us celebrate as an earlier Christm as present to our beautiful island.

On behalf o f the Saipan Team, we w ould lik e to thank our friends and fam ilies fo r their support and understanding and especially our sponsors fo r their generous contributions. Undoubtedly, we represent Saipan at our best and in doing so we m ake everlasting trademark o f friendship in the international sports arena.

MTC to offer options for long distance callsMICRONESIAN Telecommunications Corp. (MTC) announced yesterday that beginning June 17,1993, it will be offering “equal access” to give MTC customers a number of options for choosing, and using, a long distance company.

“Basically, equal access will allow the people of the CNMI to make calls using any of several long distance companies,” saidRoy Morioka, General Manager of MTC. “They’ll be able to shop around for the long distance company that best meets their individual needs.”

Not all long distance companies are accessible from the CNMI by dialing “011-Plus” for international calls, Morioka explained. Some companies require customers to dial on a touch tone phone as many as 14 digits to access their networks. But, with equal access, customers will be able to select the long distance company they want with just a one or three-digit code from either a dial or touch call phone.

Making the selection will be easy aswell,Morioka added. NextMarch, MTC will mail ballots to all of its customers. The ballots will list the long distance companies from which they can choose, such as IT & E or MTC. Under each company will be phone numbers to cal for more information about the company’s services and prices, and an Equal Access Helpline number at MTC also will be printed on the balloL

“We’ll be asking customers to simply indicate their selection on the ballot and then mail it back to MTC in an enclosed envelope," Morioka said. “

The ballots will need to be collected by early May in order to process the selections in time for the June 17 implementation date.”

If a customer does not respond by the May deadline, under Federal Communications Commission rulings, M IC must make a random selection for that customer.

Koreans elect first civilian president in 32 yearsB y K elly S m ith T u n n e y

SEOUL, South K orea (AP) - Today’s election will bring South Korea a civilian president for the first time in 32 years, but new q uestio n s ra ise d o v er the governm ent’s neutrality made some vdters nervous and the outcome too close to predict.

E xperts sa id yesterday the contest was a dead heat between three candidates and it was impossible to predict whether new charges o f vote rigging would erode su p p o rt fo r m a jo rity Democratic Liberal Party candidate Kim Young-sam, 65.

The other leading candidates are opposition leader Kim Dae- jung, 65, of the Democratic Party, and billionaire Chung Ju-yung, 77, founder o f the Hyundai conglomerate and a political novice.

“I t’s too close,’’ .said analyst Kim Young-jak, 12 hours before the polls opened, with 30 percent of voters still undecided. “The winner may have am argin of only 2-3 percent” o f the 29.4 million electorate, he said. Aelection-week scandal in which the mayor and top police officials of the nation’s second largest city were charged with conspiring to rig the election could hurt the majority party, experts said.

Despite charges of corruption and vote-buying, the vote may prove to be a milestone in the development of a mature democracy in South Korea. The campaign has been peaceful, in a country where every transition of power since 1948 has witnessed violence.

Student radicals who brought cities to a standstill in years past have rallied quietly, vowing to make their voices felt at the ballot box. The military, which hasrun the country for most of the post-World War II period, has shown no signs of restlessness.

Indeed, the strongest evidence of democracy is that the candidates haven’t discussed dem ocracy. They focused on sagging exports, high interest rates and a growth rate that has dipped to 3.9 percent, the lowest in 11 years. The new president’s five-year term will begin in February. President Roh Tae-woo, a retired general, cannot succeed himself.

With the conservative vote split between Kim Y oung-sam and billionaire Chung, Kim Dae-jung was seen as having his bestchance to become president since his narrow 1971 defeat. The first woman candidate and an environmentalist were among four others running.

Mass demonstrations in 1987 forced an end to authoritarian rule in South Korea. In elections that year, the two Kims split the opposition vote, giving victory to Roh.

The winner this week will be South K o re a ’s f irs t c iv ilian president since Gen. Park Chung Hee seized power in a 1961 coup.

PUBLIC NOTICEThe Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will be holding

a public hearing in conjunction with the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC), Sewer Division, on Tuesday, January 13,1993, at 7:00 p.m., at the Joeten-Kiyu Library. At this hearing, DEQ and CUC will discuss and present the Construction Grants Priority List for the Fiscal Year 1993 to the general public for review and comments.

Construction Grants' are federal monies provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to fund major sewer projects in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The U.S. Congress ended Construction Grant Programs nationwide in 1990. Fortunately, the CNMI was awarded an extension of the grant program for fiscal years 1990 through 1992. However, iris uncertain that grants will be available for fiscal year 1993.

Therefore, the FY-1993 Priority List is especially important this year since CUC -Sewer Division will be more dependent on local appropriations. The priority list is the annual ranking of sewer projects that may be eligible for federal funding.

The government and legislative representatives as well as the general public are encouraged to attend and comment on funding priorities, project ranking and allocations planned for FY-93.

Dated this 9th day of December 1992.

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you are an attractive and magnetic individual, and you know how to pull into your orbit those from whom you can learn a great deal while supplying them with what they need as well. You thrive on such cooperative relationships, and will certainly enjoy a long, healthy relationship with that “special someone” provided you put into practice in that arena the same methods you use in your other affairs. It is a danger too, however, to overanalyze your emotional processes.

You are fair and square in almost all dealings with people, though when you are frustrated you may try to take short cuts which can only do yourself and others some harm. You can be overly dramatic when the going gets tough, which may distract you arid dissipate your energies to no profitable end.

Also born on this date are: Chria- tophar Fry, dramatist; Ty Cobb, baseball great; Keith Richards, musician.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

$2.7M prizes lu re golfers to Jam aica

B y Bob G reen

M ONTEGO BAY, Jam aica (AP) - A total of $2.7 million in prize

.money - with $550,000 to the

.winner and $50,000 to the last- place finisher - has lured 28 of golf’s top players to theTryall Golf Club for the second World Championship.

W hile such stars as Nick Faldo, Masters titleholder Fred Couples, US Open winner Tom Kite, Seve Ballesteros and Greg Norman will pursue the largest purse in the game, others skipped the tournament, which begins yesterday. ·

Among those declining invitations were PGA champion Nick Price of Zimbabwe, Jose Maria

Olazabal of Spain, Jumbo Ozaki of Japan and John Cook, a S 1 million winner on the US tour.

Bernhard Langer of Germany did not agree with their decisions.

“You just add one week to your schedule,” he said. “You can be home for Christmas. Andyoudon’t pass up a chance to play for $2.7 million.”

The huge purse almost certainly exerted a greater influence on the players’ decision to compete than did the “world champion” title bestowed by the tournament that is recognized officially only by the European tour.

But it has the endorsement of Couples, winner of the inaugural event last year.

“A great overall tournament,” he said. “We have our tour and the Australians and Europeans have theirs. And now we have a tournament where we all get together.”

But the title, Couples said, is suspect.

“You don’thave the tension and the pressure you do at a major,” he said.

“If you win, you say, ‘I beat the best in the world. ’ If you don’t, you say, ‘It was a fun week. I had a good time.’

“If you win at Bay Hill, you can say you’re the Bay Hill champion. If you win here, well, you beat the best in the world this one week. But I don’t think I ’m the world champion.”

Lakers give, Mavericks receiveDALLAS (AP) - The Los Ange- les Lakers were in a giving mood, and the Dallas Mavericks were happy to receive.

“Merry Christmas,” Mavericks coach Richie Adubato said after his team had snapped a 12-game losing streak, longest in the NBA this season, with a 102-95 victory W ednesday night. “I haven’t said that this year until tonight.”

It was a night for the kids at Reunion Arena as rookie W alter Bond came off the bench to score 21 points, all in the second half, and rookie Sean Rooks matched his career-best with 22 points.

The victory ended a miserable stretch for the Mavericks since they beat Atl anta 113-105 on Nov. 14, their only other win this season. During the next 12 games, Dallas lost every game by at least 11 points, with an average margin of defeat o f 20.3 points. ,

“Any team that’s gone through a losing streak like they have and still play as hard as they did, that says a lot for the team,” Lakers coach Randy Pfund said. “They outworked us and seemed determined to get over their woes.”

Dallas, off to its worst start in

team history, ended the Lakers’ winning streak at five. Sedale Threatt paced the Lakers with 23 points.

The Mavericks were wrapping up a fiv e -g a m e hom estan d Wednesday, longest of the season, before embarking on a four-game road trip.

“We needed this game desperately,” Adubatosaid. “I f w edidn’t this get one and we go on the road doubting ourselves, it could have been a long drought. Our nerves were on edge and you just can’t go that long without winning.”

Dallas shot 51 percent from the field and held Los Angeles to a 38-38 rebounding standoff. Terry Davis had 16 points and eight rebounds for Dallas.

“W ecan’tplay much better than we did tonight,” said Rooks, who was 10 of 13 from the field and added nine rebounds. “We did some big, big things. This might have been my coming out in the NBA. But die key factor is that we won and we needed the win.”

Bond sparked the Mavericks with 13 points in the third quarter, and hit 3 of 4 free throws in the final 28 seconds to close out the

victory.“W e knew there would be a lot

o f ups and downs with the young kind of team that we have,” said Bond, a free agent from the University of Minnesota. “But I think this shows we could be a respected team .”

Sam Perkins had a chance to tie the game with 41 seconds left, but his 3-point attempt missed, leaving the score 98-95.

Derek Harper hit one of two free throws with 34 seconds left for a 99-95 lead, then Perkins was called for an offensive foul when he crashed into Davis with 31 seconds to play.

After trailing throughout the second half, the Mavericks pulled into an 86-86 tie with 7:58 left when Harper hit two free throws on a double-technical foul on Lakers rookie Anthony Peeler.

It was 88-88 before Bond hit a 15-footer and Rooks followed with a three-point play, padding D allas’ lead to 9 3 -8 8 with 4:49 remaining.

Los Angeles was on the verge of blowing the game open, opening the third quarter with a 10-0 run for a 66-55 lead.

s t i l l w a n t s B o w eM O N T E G O B A Y , J a m a ic a (A P ) - N ew ly -nam ed W B C heavyweight cham pion Lennox Lewis listed three possible opponents for his first title defense but said his principal target is still Riddick Bowe.

“Lennox Lewis’ mission was to become heavyweight champion,” Lewis said Wedneday. “He has accomplished that. Now his mission is to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.”

Lewis was named the .World B o x in g C o u n c il ch am p io n Tuesday after Bowe gave up that version of the title - and tossed his championship belt in a garbage can - at a news conference M onday in London.

“It was an insult to all the past cham pions,” Lew is said . “I t shows what kind of sportsman he is. I t is very sad.”

Bowe, who still retains the W orld Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation

versions of the title, had been threatened with the loss of his W BC title if he did not make a defense against Lewis.

“I am still chasing him. H opefully, some day I will catch him and get the other two belts,” Lewis said.

“H e’s running fast, but I ’m right behind him,” Lewis said, then reconsidered.

“No,” he said, “I suppose now I ’m even with him .”

In the m eantim e, he listed Frank Bruno, Tony Tucker and Alex Stewart as possible oppo- ■ nents for his first title defense, probably in Las Vegas in M arch or April.

“The fight definitely will be in A m erica ,” said L ew is, w ho learned o f his elevation to the W BC title while on vacation.

Lewis said WBC president Jose Sulaiman will make “a formal announcement in London in a week or two.”
