Tenorio: By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio is asking the Legislature to con­sider a complete repeal of Public Law 7-45, the law that prevents . certain government agencies from hiring non-US citizen employees.

This was learned in a letter the governor sent legislative leaders the other day announcing he has signed a new law strengthening the Office of the Public Auditor.

Although the letter focused on the need of the OPA to keep most of its non-resident staff, Tenorio in an interview yesterday, said he wants some other agencies to be able to continue hiring non-US citizens, notably the Public School System and the Commonwealth Health Center.

"Actually, the main reason why we want this law repealed is be­cause we need more doctors for CHC and more auditors for the Public Auditor's Office," the gov-

Froilan C. Tenorio

emor told the Variety. "With that statute in the books,

we can't hire foreign doctors like Canadian, Filipinos or from any other countries. So what I am tell­ing our lawmakers is that let's repeal it and when the time comes that we don't need to do it any­more, then we pass a law that we can't hire any more non-US citi­zens to work for ovemment,"

Changes to CNMI adoption law vetoed

By Rafael H. Arroyo . Variety News Staff

A BILL seeking to provide for a more stringent CNMI adop­tion law has been disapproved by Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio.

Senate Bill 9-145, authored by Sen. Juan S. Demapan was vetoed after the chief executive found some of its provisions impractical and unnecessary.

In tum, the chief executive recommended that the Legisla­ture consider an alternative bill in consultation with the judi­cial branch.

"All in all this legislation goes too far. By making adoptions

too difficult, I think we will actually weaken our families," said the governor in his veto message to the presiding offic­ers of Legislature.

"Adoption is an important part of both Chamorro and Carolinian cultures. It must be regulated, of course, but it should not be restricted too se­verely," added the chiefexecu­tive.

Senate Bill 9-14.5 would have imposed a five-year residency requirement for both the adopted child and the adopter.

Public Law 7-45, which was enacted in 1992, extended the length of time within which cer­tain critical service agencies may be able to hire non-US citizens, up to Sept. 30, 1995.

Miss CNMI-Universe 1994 Elizabeth Tomokane arranges flowers and candles on the grave of a departed relative at the Chalan Kanoa cemetery yesterday. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of faithful flocked to cemeteries during All Saints Day to remember their dead.

Islanders remember dead By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff

SCENT of flowers wafted on the air while candle lights flickered in what is normally a gloomy cem­etery in Chalan Kanoa as people remembered their dead on All Souls' Day yesterday.

Along with the solemn spirit came the perennial hazards that accompany the occasion: traffic jams and parking problem.

"These problems do not really matter because we can't escape them during this occasion," said one observer who wanted to be identified only as Tom. "Theim­portant thing is that ~e show our dead loved ones that' we have not forgotten them."

Tom, like everyone else who didn't want to jostle for parking space, visited his dead relative at the Chalan Kanoa cemetery early

in the morning. A bigger crowd arrived in the

afternoon to catch up with the 4 p.m. Mass.

Filipina Marivic de Leon and her relatives said prayers before the tomb of their mother.

It was a solemn observance she was not exactly accustomed to.

She comes from a place where All Souls' Day is observed the same way people celebrate feasts.

"In Manila cemeteries, people celebrate this occasion with danc­ing, singing, loud music and all thosecommercialstuff," DeLeon obseryed, "while here, you really have to show respect for the dead. So we do as Saipanese do.''.

All Soul's pay is also an event for family reunions, said Rose Laniyo.

She said family members saved and spent a great deal for the

occasion like they do during Christmas.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -Gen. John Shalikashvili, chair­man of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in Seoul Wednes­day to prepare for annual talks on the U.S.-South Korea mili­tary alliance.

The chief American delegate for the 27th annual U.S.-Ko­rean Security Consultative Meeting, Defense Secretary William Perry, is to arrive Thursday from Japan for the Thursday-Friday session.

Shalikashvili met his South Korean counterpart, Gen. Kim Dong-jin, and paid a courtesy call on Defense Minister Lee Yang-ho on Wednesday.

A major topic of the Seoul talks is Washington's demand

that South Korea double its share of the cost of keeping U.S. troops in its territory, raising its contribution to dlrs 600 million a year by 2000.

About 37,000 U.S. troops are currently stationed in South Ko­rea under a mutual defense treaty, and most of the won cost of keeping them is borne by South Korea.

Other issues will include a South Korean demand to amend a 1966 agreement defining the legal status of the U.S. troops here. South Korea believes the agreement gives unfair privi­leges to American soldiers ac­cused of committing crimes.

Typhoon Angela nearing Phils. MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Typhoon Angela gained strength Wednesday as it roared closer to the Philip­pines, still reeling .from a tropical storm that left more than 160 people dead over the weekend.

Weathermen said Angela's sustained winds had strength­ened from 140 kph (86 mph) Tuesday to I 65 kph ( 103 mph) Wednesday, with gusts of up to 195 kph (122 mph).

At 10 a.m. (0200 GMT) Wednesday, they added, it was over the Pacific Ocean, about 880 kilometers (50 miles) east of Manila, moving at 15 kph (9 mph) toward the Bicol re­gion and eastern coast of the main island of Luzon.

The weather bureau warned residents of coastal areas in the typhoon's path to move to higher ground because big waves were expect,~d. It said the seas would be ~xtremely dangerous for all typ~s of ves­sels.

Tropical Storm Zack, which smashed through the central Visayas Islands Saturday and Sunday, killed at least 161 people, disaster officials re­ported. They said more than 361,000 others lost their homes or were forced to flee their flooded communities.

The National Disaster Co­ordinating Council said 14, l 38 houses, mostly made of wood or bamboo, were de­stroyed on the major islands of Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, Panay, Negros and Palawan. About 34,357 more were damaged by strong winds or floods brought by the storm.

The storm also destroyed roads and bridges and toppled power lines, leaving many provinces still without elec­tricity Wednesday.

New law strengthens OPA By Rafael H. Arroyo

Variety News Staff GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio has signed into law a bill to strengthen the Public Auditor's Office by giving it more indepen­dence and authority. Senate Bill 9-6, S.D. l, authored by Sen. Paul A. Manglona and known as the Public Auditor Amendments Act of 1994, be­came Public law 9-68 to also give the Public Auditor's Office a guar­anteed annual budget of$ I mil­lion or one percent of all locally generated funds appropriated by the CNMI government, which­ever is higher. Manglona, during the Seventh CNMI Legislature, also authored a bill with the same provisions as that of S.B. 9-6. Such a measure was passed by the Legislature but was subsequently

vetoed by then Governor Larry I. Guerrero. After that, there was an attempt by the Seventh Legislature to over­ride Guerrero's veto triggering a momentary legal tussle on whether the measure had become law in 199 I. In his transmittal letter to the Leg­islature announcing the enactment of the new Public Auditor law, Tenorio aired support for Public Auditor Leo L. LaMotte and the excellent job his office is doing. The Public Auditor's Office is a constitutionally created office mandated to audit the receipt, possession and disbursement of public funds by the three branches of government and its instrumen­talities. Part of its function under Com­monwealth law is to ensure that fraud, abuse and waste in the col-

Airport car rental concessions awarded FOUR car rental companies were awarded concession space at the Saipan International Airport car rental building by the Common­wealth Ports Authority (CPA) Board of Directors, a news re­lease from the ports agency said.

The four companies submitted the highest bids which were opened publicly on September 29 at the CPA conference room.

Tropical Rent-A-Car submitted the highest bid of $186,000 per year, foll owed by Dollar REnt-A­Car with $182,388. Budget REnt­A-Car came in third with a bid of $170,478.24, while Hertz Rent­A-Car ranked fourth with $129,000 per year.

') .. n ,,, ,ii

The car rental concession will be for a three-year period, which begins November I, 1995 and ends October 31, 1998.

In comparison, when the car rental concessions were bidded out four years ago, the average bid was a little over $70,000.

The high amount of bid submit­ted by seven car rental companies caught the CPA Board and man­agement by surprise.

"The high amount of bids are indicative of the car rental com­panies making a lot of money at the Saipan International Airport," Board Chairman Victor B. Hocog said. "It also shows that the economy continues to improve."

Iection and expenditure of all pub­lic funds are detected and pre­vented. Saying he has no problem with the new mode of funding the of­fice, Tenorio said his Office of Management and Budget is ready to make the necessary one per­cent funding available beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 1996. "Although I normally do not ap­prove of earmarking in any form, I am willing to make an exception in this case, because the OPA is a constitutional office performing an important and necessary f unc­tion," said Tenorio. P.L. 9-68 provides that the De­partment of Finance shall with­hold one percent of all locally

generated funds appropriated by CNMI law, not to be less than $1 million and deposit the monies in a special account for the use of the OPA. Aside from effectively amending the Commonwealth Auditing Act of I 983 with regards to budgeting procedures, the new law also gives autonomy for the office on per­sonnel and procurement matters. Proponents of the measure have noticed that the Public Auditor may not be completely indepen­dent of political influence if it would have to rely on other gov­ernment entities like the Person­nel Office and the Procurement & Supply Office for its manpower and procurement needs. Under the new law, the Public

Auditor shall promulgate its own procurement regulations but sub­stantially similar to CNMI Pro­curement Regulations and shall administer its own procurement function. The new statute also empowers the public auditor to appoint and remove employees as he or she deems necessary to perform the duties of his office. All personnel employed by or contracted for by the OPA shall be exempt from the application of the Commonwealth Ci vii Service Act. The office shall also set its own compensation, wage and salary scales as well as administer a pro­gram of staff housing for its em­ployees.

Water leakage rate more than CDC's estimate, says expert

By Mar-Vic C. Munar Van'ety News Staff

THE WSSES incurred by the Com­monwealth Utilities Corp. from wa­ter leakages is more than what its is thought.

Leak detection consultant Scott Wicklund said leakage rate in Saipan is about 20 to 30 gallons of water per minute.

While the CUC estimated that five million gallons of wateris wa~ted per day, results of his company's survey indicated that about three million gal­lons more is unaccounted for.

'This problem begins at house­holds where there are overflowing tanks and lack of water conserva­tion," Wicklund said at yesterday's luncheon meeting with members of the Society of Professional Journal­ists.

TheCUChasenteredintoa 15-day contract with Wicklund's company, the Utility Services Association.

For 536,950, the consultant (um wa~ contracted to advise thecorpom­tion on leak detection techniques.

The survey's pilot area was Koblerville village, where Wicklund discovered I 27 households with wa­ter leakage problem.

Leaks were detected through so­phisticated gadgetscal!edFCS Model S-20 survey tool and Fuji HG-10 ground microphone that can pick up leak noise more than 12 inches under thegmund

"(T)he major source of water loss is leakage on the consumer side of the meter, overflowing tanks, and lack of waterconservation,''Wicklundstated in his initial survey report.

"If the statistics that we have found thus far are an indication of the rest of the island, there will be more water lost in leak.age than what is pumped," he said.

Wicklund said water leak.age oc­curs mostly in areas where the cue

delivers 24-hour service. "After surveying for leak.age for

the first two days of the contract, it was determined that it wouid be in the best interest for the CUC that it begin an in-house (leak detection) program," Wicklund said.

He noted that most customers whci pay water bills on flat-rate basis are not scrupulous in using water.

ThisiswhytheCUCissteppingup its efforts to install water meters in all households, CUC's public infonna­tion officer Pamela Mathis said.

Wicklund also recommended that a survey on the island be done at least once or twice a year "to make sure that the leakage is kept to a minimum."

By having the equipment on the island, Wicklund said, CUC will be able to detennine the main leakage before digging. "Leaks are not always where they sur­face," he said .

Parks petition gathers over 4,000 signatures

By Rick Alberto Van"ety News Staff

TilE Citizens for Parks and Recre­ation Movement ha~ hurled a chal­lenge to the governor and the legisla­ture leaders to be true to tl1eir cam­paign promises to preserve and pro­tect public park lands, as it submined 1,373 signatures attached to a "Save Our Parks" petition.

Themovernentsaidthe 1,373adults who si1c-'1led the petition signed for their 2,82 I children as well.

The petition, circulated a, early a, September, c.µled on concerned ofti-

. cials to save the Garapan Central Park and other designated public parks from cncruachments by both the pri­vate and government sectors.

In separate Ieners sent the other day to Gov. Fmilan C. Tenorio, Speaker Diego T. Benavente and Senate Presi­dent Ju;m S. Demapan, the move­ment a,ked that a balance in the dis­nibution of public land be maintained bciwccn commercial and public use.

"We want public land and water to

be used for parks and recreational areas for the people," said the move­ment, which is headed by Thomas J. Camacho, who is also program of­ficerofthe Governor's Developmen­tal Disabilities Council.

The movement cited statistics showing that "until recently, every hotel facility since 1978 has been constructed on public land."

'This does not include golf resorts situated on public land. Plainlyspeak­ing, enough public land ha~ been used for commercial purpose," the move­ment said.

It said it wa, ready to identify existing public parks and public lands where no open space is available for recreation.

The movement also told the three officials, "We challenge you to hold fast to yourcan1paign promises about preserving a.nd protecting public land."

"As soon a, some politicians take office, they get busy figuring out ways to lea-;e public land to develop-

ers; it's our hope that our leaders get busy developing parks and preserv­ing and protecting recreational are.is

for our children and grandchildren," the movement said.

The movement claimed it was a "non-political, grassroots organiza­tion."

"We are serious and are prepared to do more than file petitions to pro­tect our public land," the movement said.

A copy of the lener was also fur­nished to the mayors of Rota and Tinian; the I ands and natw-al resources secretary; the directors of the divi­sionsof publiclandsandofparksand recre2tion; and the president, of the National Recreation and Parks Asso­ciation and the National Parks and Conservation Association.

The movement has objected par­ticularly to the lease contract entered into between the division of public lands and the Saipan Fitness Club, which will build a gym inside the Garapan Central Park.

Clinton: Talks best chance for peace BARRY SCHWEID

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) · On the eve of critical negotiations among the warring parties in Bosnia, President Clinton said Tuesday the talks offer the best chance for peace since the war began four years ago. "It may be the last chance we have for a very long time," he said.

The president met at the White House with leaders of his national security team before they headed to Dayton, where negotiations begin Wednesday at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

"We have come to a defining moment in Bosnia," Clinton said.

Presidents Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia, Franjo Tudjman of Croatia and Alija Izetbegovic of Bosnia were all en route to Dayton for the talks to open Wednesday.

"It seems that after all those peace confer­ences we've had since 1990, the world leaders have a joint position," Tudjman said. Milosevic urged "a spirit of impartiality and objectivity."

"So much is riding on the success in Dayton, and the whole world is watching," Clinton said at a Washington send-off for Secretary of State Warren Christopher and U.S. mediator Richard Holbrooke.

Author of a basic agreement on the division of Bosnian territory and postwar power-shar­ing, Holbrooke spoke cautiously about the chances for peace after four years of war.

"We have a very tough job ahead of us, we are not here to promise success but only our best efforts," he said on his arrival at Wright­Patterson.

Clinton sought to allay strong reservations in Congress about using American troops to en­force any peace settlement in Bosnia.

NATO is the only organization with the strength and track record to enforce the peace, he said, and the United States is the leader of NATO.

"There is no substitute for American leader­ship," Clinton said. "The United States must participate."

He emphasized that American trqops would not be deployed unless there is a peace agree­ment.

To build support for his policy, Clinton will meet'on Wednesday with Democratic and Re­publican leaders of Congress.

On a roll call of 315-103 the House passed a nonbinding resolution late Monday declaring "there should not be a presumption" that en­forcement of a peace agreement "will involve deployment of United States armed forces on the ground in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia."

The resolution doesn't require the president to do anything, but White House officials are con-

cemed. about the show of disunity with Con­gress.

"I want the widest possible support for peace," Clinton said.

Many senators have expressed similar dis­agreement with the president, but there is no comparable measure awaiting a vote in the Sen­ate.

Clinton said he did not expect the House vote to have any impact on the negotiations in Day­ton.

Clinton has said he would commit up to 25,000 U.S. troops to a NATO peacekeeping force if all warring parties in Bosnia reach a peace agree­ment.

Clinton said he would continue to consult with Congress and, once a peace agreement is reached, would seek an "expression of support" from Congress.

House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the vote Monday night "a sad vote" and said it was a message telling the president, "Y cu have not convinced us this is a good policy."

Speaking to the Nixon Center for Peace and Freedom an hour after the vote, Gingrich said, "I don't think any of us should feel gleeful or partisan or happy about this."

Holbrookc said Monday afternoon before the vote that supporters of the House resolution were "doing grave damage to the national interests." He said the negotiations would open "without any assurance of success."

"If Dayton does not succeed, the country will slip back to war," said Holbrooke, who was in Dayton briefly on Monday as the talk site was being set up.

Christopher will meet with the three Balkan leaders Wednesday in Dayton and outline U.S. objectives. Holbrooke will then take over and present a draft peace treaty and Ameri­can proposals on a half-dozen critical is­sues. They include the separation of war­ring factions and a delineation of the terri­tory to be controlled by two ethnic entities - one Bosnian Serb and the other under combined Muslim-Croat control.

"It is going to be very, very hard to get peace agreements in Dayton," Holbrooke said.

At the State Department, spokesman Nicholas Burns suggested that Milosevic deserves credit for the release of 324 Bosnian Muslim prisoners who were ex­changed Tuesday for 135 Bosnian Serb pris­oners.

The Bosnian Muslims, all civilian males, were taken into custcxly by Bosnian Serl>s several weeks agoafterbeingforcedfromtheirhomesinBanjaLuka. Thousands of Olhers are still unaccounted for.

Hillblom estate proceedings

Kosack appointment questioned By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

THE APPOlNTMENT of Rexford C. Kosack as Special Master as­signed to oversee the estate of the late multimillionaire Larry L. Hillblom has been questioned.

David Lujan, one of the counsels for petitioner Kaelani Kinney, raised the issue whether Kosack as Special Master has any conflict of interest.

During yesterday's meeting be­tween Kosack and the "interested" parties of the estate, Lujan asked the Special Master's r..:\ationships with some of the companies and people associated with Hillblom.

Lujan mentioned UMDA, Marianas Cable Vision, San Roque Beach Developn,c·rii Co., OHL and other companie:-. ~r,J persons.

the issues.

Kosack said the first issue in­volves determining the appropriate test to be applied by a Special Mas­ter when addressing the recusal is­sue.

He explained that there is a split of authority as to whether a Special Master is required to hold himself to the standard applied to judges or whether a lesser standard is appli­cable.

Out of an abundance of caution, Kosack said the Special Master will use the test applicable to judges to determine if his recusal is required.

The decision of whether or not recusal is appropriate is committed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, he claimed.

In applying this discretion, the Special Master said "the test is whether a reasonable person, know­ing all the relevant facts, would

harbor doubts about the judge's impartiality."

In making this determination, Kosack said the judge must remem­ber that "there is as much obliga­tion for a judge not to recuse when there is no occasion for him to do so as there is" for the judge to recuse when there is a basis for doing so.

It is clear that the Special Master, and not thecowt, is to first address the issue ofwhetherrecusal is required, Kosack said.

Kosack said the only relationship he has with any of the parties or entities identified is that for the pa,t seven years the accounting finnof Deloitte & Tou­che has prepared his annual income tax return.

Kosack claimed that at present he has no business relationship with the firm.

The lawyer said he uses another

accounting firm for day- to-day ad­vice on employee-related tax is­sues and quarterly tax submissions.

Kosack said he has not used the firm to advise him on his tax plan­ning.

Lastly, Kosack said the only work that the firm has done for him is to prepare his annual tax return, which is a matter handled between the firm and his office bopkkeeper.

Deloitte & Touche is neither a party nor a claimant in this case. The firm has been retained by the Executor, Kosack said.

"It has been long established that when a judicial officer has formerly employed a witness appearing be­fore him, recusal is not required, he said. "Even ifI had been employed as an advocate for this accounting firm, recusal would still not be re­quired." He said it must h,~ determined

immediately whether there are bases fordisqualitication because the pro­ceedings require a lot of money and tim~.

Kosack denied having relation­shrps with the companies and people mentioned by Lujan.

He said there are no grounds for his disqualification.

The conflict of interest issue was first brought up during the initial meeting with the Special Master.

In a three-page order issued yes­terday, Kosack said no facts that would serve as basis for his recusal had been presented.

"I have made a searching inquiry of my various relationships to de­termine if there exist any grounds requiring recusal. I find that no such grounds exist," he stressed.

CPA opens self to new audit The Office of Public Auditor (OPA) .will soon be auditing all transactions made by the Commonwealth Ports Author­ity (CPA) during Fiscal Year 1995, acording to Board Chairman Victor B. Hocog.

The CPA' s Board voted to have the audit performed for the period of October l, 1994 to September 30, 1995, dur­ing its regular monthly meet­ing last week Wednesday

·Board OKs A&E design . for offices .

THE BOARD of Directors of the Commonwealth Ports Au­thority (CPA) gave its prelimi­nary approval for an architec­tural and engineering firm to design the new office building to house the. CPA administra­tive staff.

In a unanimous vote during its regular monthly meeting last week Wednesday (Oct. 26), the CPA Board Approved the de­sign done by GMP associates, Inc. a Honolulu A & E firm with branch offices on Guam and Saipan.

The proposed two-story build­ing will be built across the street from where the current Mobil Oil fuel storage facility is lo­cated near the Saipan Interna­tional Airport.

"The propose construction of the new CPA' s corporate office is nothing new," explained Vice Chairman Juan T. Guerrero. "It's been in the books for more than 10 years. But ourtenants at the airport have been requesting for more office spaces to accom­modate their needs and also the current CPA offices are heavily congested. So the timing is good."

The 10,000 square feet build­ing will house the administrative,, engineering, and accounting staff. It will also have a conference room, a library, and staff lounge.

Currently, the Administrative staff offices are located on the Second Floorof the Arrival Bui !d­ing.

The Accounting staff occupies two office spaces on the Second floor of the Departure Building. The Engineering staff is situated at the old Japanese bunker adja­cent to the arrival building. The Conference Room also occupies a space at the Departure Building which could be easily turned into an office space and leased out.

"Having the staff in one place would provide for a more effi­cientofficeoperation," said Carlos A. Shoda, CPA Executive Direc­tor. "Ourtenants·will also benefit as well. Furthermore, leasing of­fice spaces currently occupied by the CPA office staff would gener­ate additional .revenue to the CPA."

To meet the federal and local requirements regarding the dis­abled, the proposed office will ~so include an elevator and des­ignated parking stalls.

(Oct. 25). According to a news release,

the management audit will in­clude all transactions con­ducted by the CPA staff and

Board members during the past year.

"This audit will be per­formed to make sure all ex­penses and activities of the

CPA are in order," Hocog said, adding that if there are mis­takes made during the past year, he wants them corrected immediately.

Recently, two audits, one of the credit card expenses and the other on questionable ex­penses of the previous man­agement were released to the media and the general public, which drew criticism from former board members alleg­ing that the audits were "po­litically motivated."

Board Vice Chairman Juan T. Guerrero strongly tecommended that an audit be performed to show that th.e current Board members and management team of the CPA have nothing to hide. "We should not hide or afraid of decisions ti).at we have taken," Guerrero said,

He added that if he is re­placed in the future, the new Board should take the same action to clear the current Board of any possible wrong­doing. "I take offense when people accused us of being on a witch hunt," Guerrero noted.

relation to drug traflkking; • Distribution of ice; and • Forfeiture of conveyance. The grand jury charged that on Oct

18 Miyazawa ''knowingly and inten­tionally" possessed with intent to dis­tribute about 200 grams of ice in viola­tion of the US Code.

Also on the same day Miyazawa allegedly "knowingly used and car­ried" a 9 mm-cal. Smith and Wesson handgun "during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime."

Mi yazawaalso alleged! y distributed about ti ve grams of ice on Sept 17 in theCNMI.

According to the indictment, Miyazawa used a 1989 blue Jaguar when he distributed the five grams of ice and in delivering ice to others.

Miyazawa' s "commission" of even just one of the four felonies he is ac­cused of having committed warrants Miyazawa'sforfeirureofallhisinterest in the blue Jaguar in favor of the US "pursuant to Title 21, United Srates Code, Section 853," accon:iing to the indictment.

The vehicle was found registered under the name of Miyazawa

Miyazawa is now under the custody

. of the US Marshal and is being held without bail pending his arraigrunent today.

Before his indictment, Miyazawa was the subject of a complaint also by the US government which charged him before the District Court last Oct. 23 for possession of 200 grams of ice with intent to distribute.

District Judge AJex R. Munson de­nied Miyazawa bail during a hearing on the same day.

Four days later Munson again re­jected Miyazawa's court-appointed counsel's motion for bail.

AJso the other day, the Superior Cowt found a basis for the filing of the charges of illegal possession of hand­gun and ammunition, of ice, and pos­session of ice with intent to deliver against Miyazawa.

Mi yazawa was arrested last Oct. 18, together with two compatriots, follow­ing the firing of two gunshots at the Capitol HiU area

The gunshots were heard by dete.:­tives Roque K. Camacho and Jose Agulto while investigating a theft case in the same area

The twodete.:tives went to the place where they thought the gunshots were fired and found Miyazawa, two other Japanese, and a Filipino on a rooftop.

The fourmen denied firing the shots. According to investigation.1, how­

ever, Camacho found a loaded and

cocked 9 mm. pistol concealed in a towel held by one of the Japanese.

Camacho allegedly later saw Miynzawa throw something into the blue Jaguar after which he shut and locked its door.

Cwrent law sets no maximwn age limit for any person being put up for adoption.

The bill was approved by the Legis­lature on the observation that Com­monwealth laws pertaining to adop­tion are currently being abused.

Commenting on his veto, Tenorio said the five-year residency require­ment for parents is unnecessruy as he feels the current one-year requirement is enough. He also said the same resi­dency requirement for the child is too long and could lead to serious hardship in many cases.

"Although the findingsexpresscon­cem about children from 'underdeveJ: oped countries,' every year there are many adoptions of young children on Guam and the Mainland US. This bill would make these impossible," said the governor.

The Philippines RP gov't sees billions in losses due to tax loopholes

For thtt Variety THE GOVERNMENT will lose Pl 1.6 billion in foregone beer taxes from 1995 to 1998 be­cause of the loopholes in the ad valorem tax system, Depart­ment of Finance data showed.

The leakage from ad valorem taxes for cigarets was not avail­able but is expected to be equally substantial.

To capture these tax leakages, the Finance department is seek­ing a shift to specific taxation which is simpler and not vul­nerable to the use of marketing companies.

The ad valorem is paid only by the beer and cigaret makers. Their marketing companies, however, are exempt. Fortune Tobacco Corp. and its owner, ·

Lucio T An, face tax evasion charges for not paying the right ad valorem and income taxes.

Two bills have been filed in the lower House for the shift to specific taxes.

'Rep. Arnulfo Fuentebella said, "The· ad valorem system is a failure as a system of excise taxation."

He added that specific taxa­tion will eliminate the existing "undue tax advantage" which results in massive losses for government in terms of fore­gone revenues.

He did not name names, but finance department data showed that the beer products of Asia · Brewery Inc., also owned by Tan, pay much less taxes than the directly competing products

made by San Miguel Corp. Rep. ,Dante Liban, in a sepa­

rate bill, also asked for the im­position of specific taxes, say­ing it is "simple and could pro­vide a stable source of revenues for the government.

Liban also proposed that the specific tax rates be indexed on inflation, apparently to prevent the current practice of Tan's companies of keeping their prQ.-. duction costs down. These costs are used as basis in computing the ad valorem tax.

Tan's Asia Brewery has op­posed the proposed shift, say­ing in its position paper that ad valorem is a good system since any increase in manufacturer's price will mean an increase in government collections.

Report: DSWD 'selli:rig' babies For the Variety

THE Department of Social welfare and development (DSWD) is practically 'sell­ing' babies to foreigners, documents gathered by the tabloid People's Tonight showed.

It is believed that more than I 0,000 babies have already been 'sold' to foreigners, but there are no available records to back this up.

Records covering 14 years show 5,359 babies had been sent abroad for what DSWD claims as "adoption."

"The figure (5,359) may not be accurate as the figures given were raw, without the corresponding name the child and the country of destina­tion," documents reveal.

But in each adoption,

records showed that there was a corresponding fixed amount of money involved, which DSWD claims is "donation."

Child adoption by a relative married to an alien or a rela­tive who had acquired foreign citizenship has been fixed by the DSWD at $200 each child.

For foreigners who want to adopt Filipino children, the DSWD charged $500 per child.

According to the DSWD primer, foreigners who intend to adopt a Filipino child are made to pay $50 as applica­tion fee and an additional $150 if a foreigner is .married to a Filipino citizen.

There were also reports that aside from fixed "donations", DS WD had also charged addi­tional amount which was not

reflected in any transaction. Further, there was no any gov­ernment receipt issued.

Earlier, Sen. .Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, expressed alarm over the practice of "giving" Filipino children fo~ a fee of$200 to $500 for adop­tion.

The child traffickers, were said to be found inside and outside of the DSWD, had re­portedly taken advantage of the absence of a Jaw on inter­country adoption.

Macapagal-Arroyo also ques­tioned the DSWD's acceptance of donations from foreign child placement agencies.

The Family Code of the Philip­pines prohibits adoption by an alien except for a former Filipino citizen who seeks the legitimate child of his or her spouse.

Special unit vs illegal recruiters For the Variety

THE National Bureau of In­vestigation (NBi) has created a special unit to combat the proliferation of illegal recruit­ers.

NBI Director Mariano M. Mison also confirmed that most of the victims of well-

organized syndicates" come from the lower-income brack­ets.

The NBI has handled hun­dreds of illegal recruitment cases, some of which have prospered and others dis­missed because of lack of in­terest on the part of the vie-

tims. These illegal recruitment cases

were handled by NBI-National Capital Region (NBI-NCR) and joint teams of the NBI and Inter­national Police (Interpol).

Mison created the NBI Anti­Illegal Recruitment Division (AIRD), with Atty. Efren Meneses Jr. as chief. The AIRD will be backed up by a composite of ele­ments from other divisions of the bureau.

A big number of cases of illegal recruitment are still pending in our courts nationwide, involving billions of pesos extorted from victims by these "notorious hus­tlers, some of whom were sen­tenced to life imprisonment," Mison said.

Mison cited the extreme diffi­culties encountered in prosecut­ing suspects with vast financial capability to counter the charges filed against them.

He said that the creation of the AIRD was in line with a recent directive of President Fidel V. Ramos, who ordered all enforce- · ment units to go after the unscru­pulous establishments invoived in illegal recruitments.

Roh s11mmoned on corruption probe By JU-YEON KIM

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -Former President Roh Tae-woo was summoned Wednesday for questioning on allegations of cor­ruption, the first former leader to face legal action for improper be­havior.

Roh appeared at the Seoul Prosecutor's office in Seoul to answer questions about the hun­dreds of millions of dollars he accumulated in slush funds dur­ing his l 9&8-93 terms in office.

Tight security was in force to prevent possible disturbances. Dissident and civic groups have demonstrated almost daily, de­manding stem punishment. About 300 police were deployed to keep order.

Angry South Koreans were mesmerized by the news, broad-

cast live by national television and radio. The state KBS TV even flew a helicopter to pursue a 30-minute ride by Roh's three-car motorcade from his home through the morning rush hour.

It was unclear whether the sum­mons would lead to the arrest of Roh, a former army general. Pros­ecutors said only that the investi­gation would take time and may require another summons.

President Kim Young-sarn, who succeeded Roh, has prom­ised fairness in the probe. He de­nounced Roh' s slush funds as "an act of hoarding illicit fortune," which constitutes a crime.

South Korean law calls for a prison term of more than 10 years and less than life for any public servant found guilty of receiving bribes in excess of 50 million won

($64,000). The arrest of Roh would likely

send shockwaves through South Korea's political and business leaders, many of whom have also been implicated in the scandal.

The nation's top opposition leader, Kim Dae-jung, has pub­licly admitted receiving 2 billion won($ 250,000) from Roh for his 1992 unsuccessful presidential bid.

Most of the nation's 50 major companies reportedly gave money to Roh. They could face bribery charges and international discreditation.

Kim Young-sam, the country's first civilian president in more than three decades, is under pres­sure to thoroughly investigate the scandal. Kim has repeatedly promised to fight corruption, but

the probe appears to be limited because of allegations of his own involvement.

The opposition claims that much of Roh's slush funds were funneled into Kim's 1992 suc­cessful presidential campaign. Kim has denied the allegations.

Roh's summons were a shock­ing development in a country where no ex-president has ever been legally punished for wrong­doing in office. Less than a year after he stepped down in early 1988,Roh'smilitary-backed predecessor, Chun Doo-hwan, was found to have been involved in massive corruption.

But in a political compromise, Chun issued a public apology, donated millions of dollars to the government and spent more than a year at a remote Buddhist

monastery in self-imposed ex­ile.

Last .Friday, Roh went on live national TV to issue a similar apology. But the ges­ture failed to ease the mount­ing public furor.

The scandal came to light Oct. 19 when an opposition legislator presented one of Roh' s secret bank accounts holding 12 billion won ($ 15 million) in slush funds.

A subsequent government probe and Rob's confession revealed that he collected $650 million in slush funds, of which $217 million was still in secret bank accounts opened under false names.

Suspicion persists that Roh may have more money at home and abroad.

Maori gToup threatens to protest during queen's visit By GEOFF SPENCER

ROTORUA, New Zealand (AP) - Maori activists, angry at how their people have been treated since British colonizefs came more than 150 years ago, have threatened to protest during a visit by Queen Elizabeth II.

The queen arrived from Lon­don in New Zealand Wednesday for a IO-day tour.

Her first official engagement will be Thursday at Rotorua, a resort town renown for its geo­thennal steaming hot springs,

boiling mud pools and a spec­tacular geyser.

The monarch, who is also New Zealand's head of state, will visit a Maori arts and cultural center which had been occupied by pro­testers in a dispute with the gov­ernment earlier this year.

Representatives of several Maori groups told a news confer­ence, held at a ornate marae or traditional meeting house, that they plan to demonstrate at the site.

Police said security will be tight

as past royal tours have been marred by protests.

In 1986 the queen was hit by eggs and several Maori men bared their tattooed buttocks at her as a traditional insult.

In 1990 a Maori woman threw a wet T-shirt at the monarch dur­ing an outdoor ceremony to com­memorate a treaty between the British crown and Maori tribes last century.

"If the queen has any honor at all she should honor obligations made by her ancestors," said Mike

Smith a prominent Maori activist who wants indigenous sover­eignty.

British colonization dates back tothesigningofthe 1S40Waitangi Treaty between British officials on behalf of Queen Victoria and Maori tribes who were promised that their rights would be pro­tected.

However, the terms of the treaty were soon forgotten when land hungry settlers came and racial wars broke out.

Social commentators warn of

potential violence in the future unless the plight of modern day Maori people, who make up about 12 percent of the 3 .3 million population, is im­proved.

They sufferthecountry'shigh­est unemployment rates and its lowest incomes as well as poor health and education standards.

Despite the comments by dis­gruntled activists, the queen will be making a major symbolic ges­ture of reconciliation to some Maori tribes.

Japan cult bought weapons in US, Russia

i.

ii ; ; ,. ! ;

By WllUAM C. MANN W ASHlNGTON (AP) · Japanese doomsday cult members shopped for nuclear, chemical and biological weapoos components in the United States aoo Russia and created some of the deadliest poisons in the world, congressional investigators con­cluded

All the while, the investigators said Tuesday, U.S. and Japanese in­telligence agencies largely ignored the threat of the Awn Shinri Kyo cult until an odorless, colorless gas alleg­edly planted by its agents wafted through four Tok-yo subway trains, killing 12peop\eandinjuringcloseto 5,500 last March.

Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, at a hearing on the global proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, said

Report says:

the risk of such attacks has increased since the end of the Cold War.

"Americans have every reason to expect a nuclear, biological or chemi­cal attack before the decade is over," said Lugar, a Republican presidential candidate.

The lack of foresight in the Awn c.ase is fiightening, said chief investi­gator John F. Sopko, especially con­sidering the virulent anti-U.S. and anti-Japanese govemmentriletoric of the cult's supreme leader, Shoko Asahara.

Sopko' steam, formed by the Sen­ate pennanent subcommittee on in­vestigations, studied the cult for five months in the United States, Japan, Ukraine, GennanyandRussia, where the Awn claims thousands of sup­(X)rters.

Sen. SamNwm,aGeorgiaDemo­crat,rankingminority member on the subcommittee,said, ''Thescenarioof a terrorist group either obtaining or manufacturing and using a weapon of mass destruction is no longer the stuff of science fiction or adventw'e movies. It is a reality."

Asahara and most of his lieuten­ants are in Japanese jails on murder and other charges, but Sopko told a Senate panel the cult probably re­mains a threat to the United States. How serious a threat is unclear, but not all of it~ more than $ I billion bankroll has been seized or froren, and some of its allegedly more ex­treme members remain at large.

'1be Awn was merely one ex­ample, a case study of what may be the most dominant, emerging threat

to our national security," Sopko told thepanel. Butwhatacasestudy.

The re(X)rt found the cult's reach stretched around the world Accord­ing to the investigators, cult members con~militaryofficersandaNobel Prize laureate physicist in Russia; bought a sheep ranch in Australia, where they apparently tried to mine uraniwn; bought jars for their dead] y (X)isons and tried to buy gas masks and laser equipment in the United States, and even operated a tea plan­tation in Sri Lanka and a noo:lle shop · in Singapore.

In testimony suggesting science fiction,Sopkoandhiscolleague,Alan Edelman, alleged that Aum Shinri Kyo planned tenur attacks in Japan and the UnitedStates,apparentlyaim­ing to instigate a world war in which

U.S. bombs would leave Japan a wasteland.

Two fomiitous events saved tens of thousands of Japanese in the sub­way attack, Sopko said

Fust, AIIlll scientists made mis­takes in preparing the deadly sarin,he contended, lowering its quality and killing effectiveness.

Second, cult members could not use the only proven distribution sys­tem for sarin - a specially outfitted truck used in a June 1994 attack that killed seven people in Matsumoto, Japan. a trial run for Tokyo.

After an accidental sarin spill, the truck was destroyed to prevent dis­covery by police who might investi­gate, Sopko alleged, adding that cult members turned police away from the compound when they arrived.

Cyanide damaging reefs in So. Pacific SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - · Hundreds of tons of sodium cyanide - used by divers to stun fish for. the lucrative live reef fish restaurant trade in Asia - are seriously damaging coral reefs in the South Pa­cific, a scientific report says.

Groupers and other fish taken from coral reefs are zapped with cyanide, immo­bilizing the fish so that it can be delivered live to restau-

rants' glass tanks in cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore, selling for as high as U.S. $75 per pound.

The chemical is not toxic to humans in the dosage used for fishing, but the report - re­quested by the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency and The Nature Conservancy and published in late October -says that the dose is more than enough to kill the sensitive

Tasmania. "What we need is a coordinated effort from a num­ber of different groups."

The report says the goal should not be the elimination of the live reef fish trade, but the development of sustain­able fisheries through regula­tion of the industry.

Recommendations in Johannes' study include ban­ning possession of cyanide on boats, as Papua New Guinea has done recently, declare a moratorium on all fishing for live' reef fish in areas where stocks are severely depleted -which Johannes says Indone­sia is now trying to do - and even organize taste-test pan­els in Hong Kong to deter­mine whether consumers can distinguish between wild, reef-captured grouper or those grown on commercial farms.

The report says that the live reef fish industry exports an estimated 25,000 metric tons a year, with an estimated 60

per cent coming from wild capture. It is estimated that the wholesale market value of the fish is about U.S. dlrs 1 billion a year.

While Taiwan is the larg­est producer of cultured reef fish, Hong Kong-based com­panies dominate in the wild capture fisheries. The report estimates that more than 100 vessels specifically designed to transport live reef fish are based in Hong Kong.

The report says that the cyanide affects more than the target species - smaller fish and invertebrates are less re­sistant to cyanide, and many die for each target fish cap­tured.

While quart-sized squirt bottles are normally used to administer the poison, the report says that in some cases, fisher­men have dumped whole 55-gal­lon drums of sodium cyanide into shallow reefs, "transforming them into aquatic graveyards."

Japanese officials and Peny also announced that, in response to Okinawan protests against the intru­sive American military presence on their island, Washington and Tokyo will establish a ''special actioo com­mittee" torei:onunend new measures that can be taken to consolidate or possibly reduce the U.S. troop popu-· lation on Okinawa ·

The specifics of this new commit­tee, including its charter, member­ship and timetable for action, will be annouriced by President Clinton and PrimeMinisterTomiichi Mur.ayama when they meet in Tokyo in mid­November, Perry said.

In Perry's meetings Wednesday · with Japan's defense chief, Seishiro Eto, and Foreign Minister Y ohei Kono, they agreed Japan would con­tinue supporting the 47,000 U.S. troops based in Japan, including those on Okinawa, Perry told reporters. In the weeks following the Sept 4 rape, tensofthousandsofOkinawanshave taken to the streets in prote.st of the American military presence.

Perry left open the possibility that someoftheapproximately 26,000on Okinawa could be shifted to other parts of Japan, but said that Japan would have to pay for that

''Eveiy AmericansetVicemanand woman in Japan ~ pledged to re­gain this rep.itation'' in the aftermalh of the rape, "and to regain your re­spect," Perry said.

To underscore this message Perry flew to Yokosuka, outside of Tokyo, the U.S. base that is home to the U.S. 7th Fleet, in­cluding the aircraft carrier USS Independence. There he was to give a pep t.alk to the troops, reas­suring them that neither he north$ American public equates them with the accused rapists.

Less US presence in Okinawa seen as a possible solution

By ROBERT BURNS TOKYO (AP) • U.S. and Japa­nese defense officials agreed Wednesday to establish a "spe­cial action committee" to con­sider ways to scale back further the large American bases on Okinawa to quell an anti-military outcry there.

The decision was announced by Defense Secretary William Perry after morning meetings with his Japanese counterpart, Seishiro Eta, and Foreign Minister Yohei Kono. Perry said no specific new changes for the U.S. bases at Okinawa were discussed.

Perry told reporters the "final decision" 011 the special action committee's charter would be an­nounced when President Clinton and Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama ho1d a summit meet­ing here in mid-November.

Perry had said Tuesday while en route to Japan from Washing­ton that he was eager to overcome the backlash triggered by the rape in Septemberof a 12-year-old girl on Okinawa. Three·U.S. service­men accused of the crime go on trial next week.

The rape unleashed a torrent of public protests against the Ameri­can military presence on Okinawa, the tropical Japanese island that until 1972 was administered by the United States and now hosts 26,000 American troops.

Emerging from his meetings Wednesday morning, Perry said the United States and Japan had reaffirmed the importance of con­tinuing to have 100,000 Ameri­can troops based in the Asia-Pa-

cific region - 47,000 of them in Japan.

"We can solve the problems through the actions of this special committee," Perry said Wednes­day.

"I emphasize strongly that our concentration should be on fixing problems, not on fixing docu­ments."

While no specific additional adjustments to the U.S. bases on Okinawa were discussed, Perry said he and the Japanese minis­ters agreed that any changes should be "compatible with main­taining 47,000 (U.S.) troops in Japan."

Perry planned a quick trip Wednesday to Yokosuka, site of a major U.S. Navy base outside Tokyo, to reassure the sailors "we do not lump them with the few troops ... who have been guilty of offenses."

Perry, who himself served with American forces on Okinawa after World War II, said there was no room for negotiating a reduc­tion in the overall level of U.S. forces in Japan.

"We are not proposing, we are not considering, reducing the number of troops in Japan," Perry said, because they are the linchpin of U.S. security strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. He said they also are key to the U.S. security guar­antee to Japari that in future cases of rape or. murder it would turn ove{ accused· Americans to Japanese police more quickly. Custody was a hot issue in the Okinawa case.

Business briefs from Asian countries JAPAN TOKYO (AP) - Sanyo Elec­tric Co., a major Japanese maker of electrical machinery, plans to cut its domestic vid­eocassette recorder output in half and move the production to Indonesia, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

He said production at Sanyo ·s Daito City, Osaka Pre­fecture, facility will be cut from the current 400,000 units per year to 200,000 year by the end of November 1996.

The spokesman said Sanyo is shifting production to its Indonesian subsidiary, PT Sanyo Jaya Components In­donesia, which already pro­duces YCRs, VCR heads and electronic components.

He said some of the workers at the Daito City plant will be shifted to other Sanyo opera­tions.

TOKYO (AP) - Japan Air­lines Co. will order five Boeing 777-300 aircraft it

plans to bring into service in \998. The contract will be worth dlrs 800 million, the company said.

Japan· s largest interna­tional airline said in a release seen W cdnesday that the new aircraft is the stretched ver­sion of the new Boeing twin jet 777-200and will have from 480-520 seats in two classes on domestic routes.

The airline has played a part in the design of both the 777-200 and 777-300. It has al­ready placed orders for ten 777-200 aircraft and has op­tions on a further ten, the com­pany said.

The Japanese carrier sees the 777-300 as a replacement for Boeing 74 7 short range aircraft. which it currently operates on major domestic routes.

Compared with the Boeing 74 7, the new aircraft will be able to reduce fuel consump­tion by around 30 percent, the company said.

CHINA BEIJING (AP) - China's growth rate will be 10 percent this year, a senior government official told business leaders in an upbeat assessment of China's economy.

The IO percent growth rate of gross domestic product, the nation's total output of goods and services, compares with 8 percent annual growth ex­pected over the next five years, Chen Qingtai, vice minister of the State Economic and Trade Commission, said in an address to a symposium spon­sored by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum.

China has been trying to slow its growth in order to control inflation. The rate was 11.8 percent last year, and in­flation was more than 20 per­cent.

Inflation as measured by the retail price index will not ex­ceed 15 percent, which is the government's target, Chen

predicted.

INDIA NEW DELHI, India (AP) -The government has approved three car projects with Ameri­can and Japanese manufactur­ers.

All three projects were an­nounced over the past few months, _pending final ap­proval of the government.

Mahindra and Mahindra of India will tie up with Ford' Motor Co., Siel Ltd. will have a joint venture program with Honda of Japan, and Hindusthan Motors Ltd. will sign up with Mitsubishi Mo­tor Corp. of Japan, the gov­ernment said in a statement issued Tuesday night.

Ford and Mahindra will each have a 50 %stake in the 8.63 billion rupee ($250 mil­l ion) project to make the Ford Escort and Fiesta cars, the re­ports said.

THAILAND BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -Falling import duties and ris­ing consumer purchasing power are drawing foreign re­tailers to take up an increas­ing amount of Bangkok's new retail space, an international property consultant said Wednesday.

Some of the international chains increasing their pres­ence in Thailand are Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Planet Hollywood, Tower Records and Marks and Spen­cer.

More than 600,000 square meters (720,000 square yards) of new retail space will be available by the end of 1995, bringing the total stock to 2.8 million square meters (3.36 million square yards), accord­ing to a report released by Ri­chard Ellis (Thailand), an in­dustry consultant. De­velopment has been spread about equally between central and suburban Bangkok. The vacancy rate in the central business district is about 8 percent.

The retail sector of the real estate market has been thriv­ing as many developers are building large shopping malls to take advantage of a boom­ing economy and consumers' inability to reach many retail outlets because of notoriously heavy traffic in Bangkok.

HK Jockey Club gets 1st Chinese boss By MARCUS ELIASON

HONG KONG (AP) - Another bas­tion of colonialism has fallen with the announcement Wednesday that the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club is getting its first Chinese boss.

The 111-year-old club, which con­trols all horse-racing and gambling in Hong Kong, is one of the biggest financial institutions in the British colony, and has traditionally had a British chief executive.

The new chief is Lawrence Wong Chi-kwong, a Taiwan-based Ford auto

e,i;ecutive. He takes over from Maj. Gen. Guy Watkins who is retiring in March.

The South China Morning Post said Chinese owners and riders were not admitted to the club until the mid-1920s, and commented that if its Vic­torian founders' 'had known a Chinese would one day head their institution, they would probably have closed it down."

But with China taking over the colony in 1997,many institutions have moved to put Hong Kong Chinese in

top managerial positions. The Jockey Oub is soon to drop "royal" from its-· title in line with a general trend toward jettisoning colonial trappings before 1997.

Wong, 56, was born in China and moved with his family to Hong Kong in 1949, the year of the Communist takeover of China, newspapers said. He rose through the ranks of Ford in the United States and now heads the company's subsidiary in Taiwan.

Watkins told Hong Kong radio that club officials picked Wong from 100

applicants, all Chinese. ''They were looking ideally for

someonewhoisChinese,"hesaid, but added that they would have looked elsewhere if a Chinese candidate could not have been found.

Watkins acknowledged that Wong does not have experience in horse

racing, but was picked for his manage­rial and financial expertise.

The club has 15,00J employees and 18,00Jmem~.andhandlesmore than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars (nearly cllrs 1 billion) a year in betting revenue, making it one of the richest institutions of its kind in the world.

Merrill Lynch trading to be halted for two days

·Y ,, ).

TOKYO (AP) - As punishment for illegal trading, the Tokyo branch of stock brokerage Merrill Lynch will be fined and prevented from trading on its own behalf for two days next week, reports said Wednesday.

A Fmance Ministry official said the reports were premature and that officials were still considering what action to take against the company.

Merrill has acknow !edged that its activities, earned out over six years until earlier this year, were a technical violation of rules in Japan but said Japanese officials knew of the activi-

Stocks down, dollar higher TOKYO (AP)-Share prices moved lower in early trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Wednesday, while thedollarwas higheragainst theJ apa­nese yen.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Aver­age fell W7.15 points, or 1.17 per­cent, in the first hour of trading to stand at 17,447.49. On Tuesday the average gained 145.47 points, or0.83 percent, closing at 17,654.64 .

The Tokyo Stock Price Index of all issues listed on the first section was down 9.50 points, or 0.68 percent, to stand at 1,401.64. The TOPIX rose 12.80 points, or 0.91 percent, to 1,411.14 on Tuesday.

Traders said stock prices were moving in a narrow range as irives­tors watched the foreign exchange market for direction.

"If the yen weakens to I 04 or 105 (to the dollar), then investors may pay attention," said Y uichi Kohashi, an investment strategist at Daiwa Secu­rities.

A weaker yen would help Japa­neseexporters by making their prod­ucts more competitive abroad and increasing the value in yen of their dollar-denominated earnings.

Meanwhile, the dollar was changing hands at 102.22 yen at midmorning, up 0.32 yen from late Tuesday and higher than 102.06 yen in New York late Ti.ies­day.

Teacher Vladimir Gavrilov, a native ofLatvia,answeredaR~student's questioninthatlanguage, thenscolde.d a noisy Annenian boy in heavily ac­centedEnglish: "Y oushouldsitdown. Your discipline is bad."

Divide 23 high school students by the 10 countries they come from, add

a babble of languages and what do you get?

Success, their teacher says. "Some of these kids start with no

school background at all," Gavrilov said, then added proudly, "Still, all my students from last year who took the math proficiency test passed it"

Amid the houses of suburban Sac­ramento sits a school named High­landsHigh, wherestudentshavecome from 30 eow1tries and speak 24 lan­guages.

Vietnamese. Highlands High, where the school

mascot is the Scot, has 1,407 stu­dents, including inunigrants from Russia, Ukraine, Laos, Vietnam, Thailaoo,Romania,Japan. theMidcDe East, Panama, Samoa, Moldova, Mexico, India and the Philippines.

About 200 recent anivals to the United States are taught with the help of aides and fellow Highlands stu- · dents to deal with the academic and social rigors of high school.

The school doesn't recruit teach­ers from foreign countries, but has five foreign-born aides - two Rus­sians and three from Asian countries - some of whom can teach in their own countries but haven't met California's qualifications yet

Gavrilov is the only inunigrant teacher,aphysicistwhotaughtgradu­ate Sllldents before he came to the United States two years ago.

His students' English ranged from nearly fluent- the Armenian boy, who has lived in this country for five years - to almost nil, asin the case of two girls, one from Laos, one from Mexico, whodidn't understand the question: "Where are you from?''

The fast-growing Sacramento area became popular with immigrants because of its mild climate and lower

cost of living compared with Los AngelesandSanFrancisco,saidMinh Pham, bilingual counselor at the school.

The student body reflects seveml trends in inunigration, starting with an influx from Central Ammca and Mexico 10 years ago.

Two years later, many Vietnamese refugees anived, followed by Mien and Hmong refugees who came in the late 1980s. In the past three years, immigrants began arriving from . fonner Eastern bloc countries.

"Many of these students have suf­fered a great deal, and for most com­ing here is a super-shock," said Jerry Soto, .chairman of the school's English as a Second Lan­guage Department.

Working with such cultural dif­ferences is "definitely a challenge for us, and it's one that's going to continue in this state," said prin­cipal Constance Farias.

The school sponsors a multi­cultural club, noon performances of native dances and music, and a weeklong fair where students share foods, customs and histori­cal information.

On a recent.lunch hour, black, Hispanic and white students watched and joined in a demon- . stration of Filipino dancing.

Taiwan computer group granted a $500~M loan TAIPEI, Taiwan(AP)- UMAX­EliteGroup, a Taiwanese computer conglomerate, has been granted a syndicated loan of 13.5 billion Tai­wan dollars (U.S. $500 million) to finance construction of a wafer plant, a bank official said W ednes­day.

S. Africa holds peaceful election JOHANNESBURG, South Af. rica (AP) - Voting began peace­fully Wednesday in South Africa's second democratic election, with police reporting calm overnight and people forming long lines to choose local leaders.

Logistical snafus such as im­proper ballot papers delayed vot­ing in a few areas, while a last­minute court challenge forced a

postponement in Louis Trichardt, a town in the rural north.

About 500 people awoke with the dawn in the Phola Park squat­ter camp south of Johannesburg to be the first at polling stations in three green and yellow tents set up on a soccer field.

"I care about these elections so I thought other people would care," Beauty Mvimbi said in ex-

plaining why she showed up 90 minutes early. "I think this is very important because we need people to look after us."

A holiday was called for the elections at 12,000 polling sta­tions nationwide to choose almost 700 local and rural councils that will replace the last vestiges of apartheid rule. It is the second time the nation's black majority

Rep. Maria Taisakan Peter (Malua), David & Family

has been able to vote. President Nelson Mandela and

his African National Congress came to power in the nation's first all-race election in April 1994, and most of the local councils also were expected to be black­Jed.

Fears of widespread voter apa­thy appeared unfounded, based on the lines .observed at polling stations early Wednesday.

"I'm very excited about voting again," ANC Secretary General Cyril Ramaphosa told a local ra­dio station while standing in line at a suburban polling booth.

South Africans have been con­fused by a dual ballot that asks them to vote for a candidate and then a party. They also complained that Mandela's government has failed to deliver on promises of jobs and houses made before last

. year's election and questioned why they should vote again.

Political disputes forced vot­ing to be postponed until next year in KwaZulu-Natal province and the Cape Town metropolitan area, along with some isolated rural areas.

Mvimbi, a mother of two who works in a grocery store, moved to the squalid shantytown in the Tokoza black township in 1987 be­cause she wanted her own

dwelling. She said last year's seminal election,· which ended apartheid and inspired hope for changes in the lives of millions of poor blacks, was different than the voting Wednesday.

"That was one about the gov­ernment and now it is about ser­vices," she said. "Weneedhouses, services, everything."

Police spokesman Ray Harrald, speaking from the police elec­tions operation room in Pretoria, said all was quiet in the run up to the vote. Additional police and soldiers were deployed at po­tential flash points through­out the country.

Possible causes of unrest included efforts to sabotage the voting by white extrem-

. ists, protests by opponents of the ANC or confusion at poll­ing stations if people who failed to register or who lacked proper identification showed up expecting to vote.

Free State province Premier Patrick Lekota was turned away because he forgot his identity book. Lekota waited several minutes while an aide retrieved the document, then was permitted to cast his bal­lot in Bloemfontein, the pro­vincial capital.

"Everyone must abide by the law," he said.

Pit of soldiers buried 2,000 years ago found BEUING (AP) -Chinese archae­ologists have discovered a huge pit containing the remains of soldiers buried alive 2,000 years ago by enemy forces, an official reporter said.

The pit measures 10 by 2 meters (33 by 6.6 feet) and contains layers of bones 60 centimeters (two feet) deep, the Xinhua News Agency re­ported, without saying how many bodies were uncovered. The pit was discovered in the city of Gaoping, in central China's Shaanxi province.

The report described the pit as the most important relic of the largest aP!d cruelest mili-

tary campaign of the Warring States period, 476 to 221 B.C.

It was fought by the states of Zhao and Qin. When Zhao commander Zhao Kuo was defeated and killed, 300,000 of his troops surrendered. They were all buried alive.

Archaeologists who un­earthed their bones said they found traces of their injuries, including an arrow head em­bedded in a coccyx, the small bone at the base of the spinal cord.

Seventeen coins and some weapons dating back to the same period also were found, the report said.

Most dangerous road to be rebuilt By PETER McFARREN

ON THE YUNGAS ROAD, Bo­livia (AP) -DesiderioCondori drives a truck hauling food across the Andes Mountains on a dirt road some call the most dangerous in the world.

In his 15 years on the road, he has seen dozens of deadly accidents and always wonders if the next trip will be his last

Crosses and small altars sur­rounded by withered flowers line the sides of the road in remembrance of the hundreds who have died crossing it In three months of this year alone, the road claimed 50 lives.

'This road is extremely danger­ous. The brakes heat up and lose force, and a truck or bus falls off a precipice," Condori, 42, said during a stop at a police checkpoint at the beginningoftheLaPaz-Yungasroad.

The least deadly of the accidents he has witnessed caused eight deaths · and one crash killed 30 people, he says.

His truck carries salt and food on a 30-hour trip from the highlands to the lowlands and returns loaded with cattle. At least a dozen passengers, mainly Indian farmers, ride on top as the truck travels the narrow road, majestic cliffs walling it in on one side and dropping precipitously on the other.

Now, with the support of foreign aid, Bolivia is embarking on a major road building program it hopes will boost the economy and tourism by improving the country's transporta­tion links with its South American neighbors.

Every day, hundreds of buses, cars and overloaded trucks carry cargo and passengers to and from the Andean highland city of La Paz past snow-covered peaks and one of the

world's most precipitous fault lines to the tropical lowlands and the Ama­zon River Basin.

The road links the Aymara and QuechualndianculturesoftheAndes foothills with the Indian, settler and ranch communities of the tropics.

Condori looks forward eagerly to anew paved road under construction that will reduce travel time between the highlands and lowlands by sev­eral hours. And most importantly, it will also reduce the risk of dying.

The current road begins in La Paz atanaltitudeof3,600meters(l l,900 feet), rises to an Andean pass of 4,600 meters (15,200 feet) and drops to 700 meters (2,300 feet) during a four-hour drive. It is the main link between the highlands and a third of Bolivia, a nation of7 million people.

''The road to the Yungas is prob­ably the most dangerous road I have ever traveled on," says David Atkinson, a representative of the In­ter-American Development Bank.

"It is a hairy drive, but it is so beautiful to cross the Andes and pass through waterfalls and see the rich vegetation, but there is no margin in space or time to make a single error."

The development bank, the Andean Development Corporation and the Japanese and Bolivian gov­ernments are financing road projects in Bolivia, including the new road that should make the 60-year-old La Paz-Yungas road obsolete in a few years. The bank labels that road the most dangerous in the world.

During the December-March rainy season, washouts and showers of mud, boulders and trees interrupt traffic. Oranges, bananas and meat carried from the lowlands to La Paz rot while landslides are repaired.

Bolivia is hemmed in by imposing physical barriers -5,000 meter high ( 16,000-foot-high) mountain passes, geologically unstable val­leys and the Amazon basin, "with rivers that change course from one rainy season to another."

through land-locked Bolivia will link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, making Bolivia an important trans­portation, energy and communica­tions hub, President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada says.

One road will link Peru's Pacific ports with La Paz and northern Bo­livia, greatly facilitating the export of Amazon nuts, wood, cattle and agricultural products. Another will run to the Chilean port of Arica.

Bolivia, with an area of one mil­lion square kilometers (400,000 square miles), has only 2,000 kilo­meters (1,240 miles) of paved roads. That makes it one of most road­poor countries in the region, says Carmen Ballivian, director of the National Road Service.

"Trying to keep open a road sys­tem is admirable," he says.

About $500 million is being in­vested in the roads project. For the first time, Bolivia will have a paved link with a neighboring country when routes to Chile and Peru are completed early next year.

"When you open a road to a neighboring country, you also open your mind, break barriers and a sense of isolation," said Ballivian. Atkinson, the bank official, says In a few years, roads passing

Quebec secession leader calls it quits By DAVID CRARY

MONTREAL (AP) - Quebec separatists began seeking a new leader Wednesday after the dra­matic resignation of Premier Jacques Parizeau, who appalled even allies by blaming non­French immigrants for an achingly close loss in the seces­sion referendum.

Parizeau, a key player in the separatist movement for two de­cades, expressed hope that his departure would help, not hinder, the crusade for indepen­dence. He said there was a new generation ofleaders who could push the separatists over the top after the narrow loss in Monday's vote.

Parizeau, at an emotional news conference Tuesday, said he would step down as premier before Christmas. He denied he was resigning because of his diatribe about ethnic groups, but it was clear that even his closest separatist allies had repudiated him.

"His declaration does not re­flect what sovereigntists feel," said Lucien Bouchard, the sepa­ratist leader in Parliament who could be the top choice to re­place Parizeau.

Bouchard was the separat­ists' most passionate orator dur­ing the referendum campaign. His future, and the future of his Bloc Quebecois party, were on the agenda of a party leadership meeting Wednesday. He refused to say if he wanted Parizeau's job.

Parizeau, 65, was elected pre­mier last year after promising to hold a referendum on secession. His side lost Monday, but only narrowly - 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent.

But at a time when the sepa-

ratists could have been savor­ing their strong showing, Parizeau shocked even his col­leagues with a vitriolic speech Monday night, blaming the de­feat on immigrants.

"It's true we have been de­feated, but basically by what?" Parizeau said. "By money and the ethnic vote."

At his press conference Tues­day, Parizeau said he used terms "that could have been much bet­ter chosen." But he reiterated his view that Quebec's French­speaking majority had, in ef­fect, been thwarted by non­francophones.

His remarks were denounced by Prime Minister Jean Chretien and other politicians nation­wide, as well as by numerous minority leaders and anti-rac­ism groups.

About 90 percent ofEnglish­speaking and immigrant Que­beckers opposed secession, while French Quebeckers - who 'make up 82 percent of the popu­lation - voted for independence by a 60-40 margin.

Chretien said he understood Parizeau' s decision to resign and offered to work with whoever replaced him. He also proposed talks with provincial premiers on recognizing Quebec as a dis­tinct society and transferring certain federal powers to the provinces.

But Bouchard made clear Quebec considered these to be inadequate half-measures, and described his reaction to Chretien's offer as "boredom" and "big yawns."

"Nobody's going to get us sovereigntists involved i

n another 30 years of sterile discussions," he said. "Never again will sovereigntists be beg-

Britain's Queen Elizabeth briefed on Quebec voting AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) - Britain's Queen Eliza­beth II, who is also Canada's head of state, arrived in New Zealand Wednesday after be­ing briefed on Que bee's cliffhanger referendum which narrowly rejected a plan for independence for the French­speaking province.

The queen's press secre­tary Charles Anson told re­porters she had a short meet­ing with Canada's consul-gen­eral at Los Angeles airport when her Air New Zealand jetliner made a stopover on a flight from London to Auckland.

Anson declined to comment further on the matter.

"I never say what the queen's response is to any political situation," he said.

Earlier this week the queen was tricked inJo talking about the refetendum when Cana­dian disc' jockey Pierre Bras-

. sard telephoned Buckingham Palace and impersonated Ca­

; nadian Prime Minister Jacques Chretien.

During her l 0-day New Zealand visit the queen will attend a summit of leaders of the Commonwealth which links Britain with 51 former colonies. Chretien is expected to attend the meet­ing at which all leaders have private discussions with the queen.

Canada is an independent nation, but like some other former British colonies such as Australia and New Zealand, retains the monarch as its head of state.

The Air New Zealand flight was the first time the queen has travelled on a commercial jetliner for an official visit to save taxpayers' money. Usu­ally she flies on VIP aircraft.

About 400 vacationers and other travellers joined the queen on the 26-hour flight but few caught a glimpse of her.

She spent travelled in a specially built, screened-off luxury compartment at the front of the plane which in­cluded an offic~ and dining area.

ging for anything from the rest of Canada."

Bouchard reiterated the sepa­ratists' promise to mount an­other independence drive. Cur­rent Quebec law bars a new se­cession referendum until after new legislative elections, but separatists control the legisla­ture and could change the law or call early elections.

Nova Scotia Premier John Savage said Parizeau' s fate lil<;ely was decided the moment

Bouchard took over the Yes campaign midway through the referendum. But Savage said the remark about ethnic voters was the last straw.

"The gaffe was in the upper echelons of serious," said Sav­age. "It was one of the damag­ing ones that didn't only turn off people like you arid I who werewatching(on TV). Itturned off his own supporters, people. who were offended at his refer­ence to those who are not of

French stock." Parizeau, at his news confer­

ence, blamed himself for fail­ing to rally more English-speak­ers and immigrants to the sepa­ratist cause, but said he was hopeful the goal of indepen­dence would be reached.

"How should that step be taken that will lead to that inevitable rendezvous with sovereignty?" he asked. "It is not up to me to say .... Now others will have to take it forward to its final conclusion."

Besieged· city appeals for food, water By DEXTER CRUEZ

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) -As tens of thousands of civilians fled Jaffna city, fearing a final military assault on the Tamil rebel stronghold, a top official appealed Wednesday for food, tents and drinking water for the refugees.

He also asked Sri Lanka to cre­ate new safe areas for civilians fleeing widespread shelling and bombing.

K. Ponnampalam, the federal government's chief administra­tive officer in Jaffna Peninsula in northern Sri Lanka, made the re­quests to President Chandrika Kumaratunga.

"War, rain, displacement and a food shortage have caused dras­tic human suffering in the dis­trict.

Please request non-governmen­tal organizations and world orga­nizations to provide immediate shipments of tents, ready-made roofing material, food and chlo­rine," Ponnampalam said in a telex message from Jaffna.

In a telephone interview with

The Associated Press, he said 65 percent of the peninsula's 800,000 people have fled their homes.

Tamil Tiger separatists also have joined the exodus as the military warplanes bombed and strafed rebel bases in Urumpirai and Kopai towns, about three ki­lometers (two miles) from Jaffna city, in an offensive the govern­ment began about two weeks ago.

Jaffna has long been the head­quarters of the 12-year Tamil re­bellion for an independent home­land.

Most of the civilians and rebels fled toward the east of Jaffna Peninsula, while others were fer­ried across the Jaffna Lagoon to rebel-held territory on the main­land, travelers said after reaching government-controlled territory.

"The city is almost empty," a relief worker in Jaffna city said in a telephone interview on condi­tion of anonymity.

It was unclear how many rebel defenders were left in J affna city, which once had 125,000 people.

. Since the offensive began, they

have fought hard to hold onto their territory.

Ponnampalarn' s message, sent, through international relief agen­cies, warned that diarrhea and eye diseases already are spreading through refugee camps in the pen­insula because of dirty water. He said the chlorine is needed to pu­rify it.

He also said that 42 civilians were killed in military bombing raids and artillery shelling on Sun­day and Monday in the towns of Chavakachcheri, Nunavil, Manipay and Anaicoddai near Jaffna city. The military said it was not aw ate of those casualties, but travelers from Jaffna also re­ported at least 20 civilian deaths.

No casualty figures were im­mediately available for Tuesday's or Wednesday's fighting. Previ­ously, the military said about 900 rebels and more than 200 soldiers . have died since its troops began the campaign on Oct. 17.

Thousands of civilians firsttook refuge in a safety zone around a government hospital inJaffnacity,

but most of them had fled by Tues­day, said relief workers in Colombo who were in contact with fellow officials in the besieged city. Many international agencies have branches in rebel territory.

On Monday, Sri Lankan troops captured Neerveli, a heavily forti­fied rebel town eight kilometers (fivemiies)fromJaffnacity.Rebel fighters withdrew, carrying their dead and injured.

The military said the two-week­old offensive is aimed at captur~ ingJaffnacity, thecenterofTamil culture for centuries.

The rebel commanders had long directed their campaign from Jaffna; where they had set up a full-fledged government with their own police force, courts and tax collection agencies.

The rebels have been fighting · for a Tamil homeland since 1983, in a civil war that has killed more than 37,000 people.

The guerrillas believe the Tamil minority needs independence to escape what they regard as wide­spread discrimination by the Sin-

USasksUN to prevent destruction of war crime. evidence

By LOUIS MEIXLER UNITED NATIONS (AP) -Following ·recent disclosures of mass killings in eastern Bosnia, the United States is preparing a Security Council resolution aimed at prevent­ing Bosnian Serbs from de­stroying evidence of alleged war crimes.

The draft resolution is ex­pected to be completed in a few days, a U.S. official said Tuesday, speaking on condi­tion of anonymity.

The resolution would call for an investigation into the alleged slaughter of thousand~ of civilians after Bosnian Serbs overran the U.N. "safe area" of Srebrenica last July, the official said.

It also would demand that the Bosnian Serbs and others cooperate with the Interna­tional-War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague and not destroy evidence of the alleged atroci­ties.

"It calls for an investigation of the crimes, but it doesn't call for an investigation of what has happened at the United Nat ions," Bosnian Por­e i g n Minister Muhamed Sacirbey said. "Why did the U.N. effectively sell out these people?"

U.N. officials have blamed member states for the fiasco, saying they ordered outnum­bered and lightly armed peace­keepers to defend the civil­ians, most of whom are Mus­lims, in the "safe areas."

Sacirbey is in the United States to attend U.S.-spon­sored peace talks between the leaders of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia, which begin Wednes­day near Dayton, Ohio.

The Security Council has de­manded that the United Na­tions investigate the fate of the missing persons.

The New York Times and the Washington Post have quoted survivors as saying Bosnian Serb commander Gen. Ratko Mladic was present when thousands of Muslim men and boys were massacred in Srebrenica.

Mladic and Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic have been indicted for war crimes by The Hague 'tribl,!nal.

(aic:YCLE]

By BARRY SCHWEID DAYTON, Ohio (AP)· Aniving to a red-carpet welcome, Serbia's president predicted that U.S.-run peace talks on Bosnia would suc­ceed in ending four years of war­fare in the fonner Yugoslavia.

"I am an optimist," Slobodan Milosevic, said Tuesday night on the eve of the talks at Wright­Patterson Air Force Base. "I be­lieve the talks will succeed."

American mediator Richard C. Holbrookewasonthetarmacwhen the JAT Yugoslav Airlines Jet landed with the Balkan leader, con­sidered pivotal in the U.S. peace­making effort in three-way nego­tiations.

"We attach great importance to the peace initiative of the United. States," Milosevic said. "And we are here to join the effort to bring peace to the Balkans."

A somber President Clinton warned the leaders of Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia that they were undertaking what could be "the last best chance we have fora very long time" to end Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.

The Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic and Foreign Minis­ter Muhamed Sacirbey arrived just before Milosevic.

Silajdzic also appeared upbeat about the talks. "I think we can do a lot here," he said. "We came with great hope. We came here to get what we don't have in Bosnia -justice and democracy."

Presidents Franjo Tudjman of

Croatia and Alija Izetbegovic of Bosnia were scheduled to arrive separately after midnight for the talks.

Accused of starting the war fu Bosnia 42 months ago, Milosevic was the focus of U.S.-peacemak­ing efforts. And as he left Belgrade, the ardent Serbian nationalist called for "a spirit of impartiality and objectivity," saying an accord should treat all sides fairly.

At the height of his eight-year reign. of a shrunken Yugoslavia, Milosevic is thought by American officialstobecapableofarm-twist­ing Bosnian Serbs to accept a peace treaty. The inducement for them is an ethnic republic covering about half of Bosnia-Herzgovina; for Milosevic, it is an end to a U.N. trade blockade that has decimated Serbia's economy.

"So much is riding on the suc­cess in Dayton, and the whole world is watching," Clinton ~aid at the White House in a send-off for Secretary of State Warren Christopher and U.S. mediator Holbrooke.

The State Department's spokesman, Nicholas Bums, gave Milosevic credit for releasing 324 Muslim prisoners who were ex­changed Tuesday for 125 rebel Serbs but was reserved in his praise.

The Bosnian Muslims, all ci­vilian males, were taken into cus­tody by Bosnian Serbs several weeks ago after being forced from their homes in Banja Luka. Thou-

sands of others are still unac­counted for.

Holbrooke, author of a basic agreement on the division of Bosnian territory and postwar power-sharing, spoke cautiously about the chances for peace after four years of war.

"We have a very tough job ahead of us, we are not here to promise success but only our best efforts," he said on his arrival·iit Wright-Patterson. Some of the toughest issues awaiting ne­gotiators are map boundaries, the status of Sarajevo, practical steps that must be taken to separate hostile forces and procedures for free elections.

They also will have to address "a bundle of human rights issues," including the plight of refugees and justice for war atrocities, said Anthony Lake, Clinton's national security adviser.

On the eve of the talks, there was a sense of foreboding and reservation in Congress about sending up to 25,000 American troops to Bosnia as part of a NATO force to enforce any peace settle­ment.

House members expressed their concerns late Monday, vot­ing 315-103 ona nonbirdi:ng reso­lution indicating hesitance about using American soldiers.

Clinton addressed those fears in a IO-minute broadcast address from the Roosevelt Room, em­phasizing thabthe United States has a singular leadership role to play.

"The United States, the source ofNATO' s military strength, must participate," Clinton said. Other­wise, he said, otheF NATO allies would reconsider their commit­ments.

"We would undermine American leadership of the alli­ance," he said. "We would weaken the alliance itself. And the hard­won peace in Bosnia could be lost."

Clinton said American troops would be deployed only if there were a peace agreement. They would operate under NA TO com­mand, with clear rules of engage­ment and a clearly defined mis­sion, the president said.

"They would not be asked to keep a peace that cannot be kept," he said.

Clinton said he would ask Con­gress for "an expression of sup­port" for using American troops in the event of a peace accord. "Our foreign policy works best when we work together. I want the widest possible support for peace."

To the leaders of the warring parties in Bosnia, Clinton said, "This is the best chance we've had since the war began. It may be the last chance we have for a very long time."

He warned that if the war reig­nites, it could spread throughout Europe into the type· of conflict that has drawn Ameticans into two European wars in this cen­tury. "We have to end the war in Bosnia and do it now."

STELLA WILD ER

YOUR .BIRTHDAY By Stella Wilder

Born today, you are something of a pioneer, and the kind of indi­vidual who embraces difficulty in the name of progress, exploration and personal discovery. There is nothing too challenging or too daunting for you, provided that it is an avenue to personal ennch­ment and ultimately, enrichment for others as well. Some may claim you are simply a self-centered at­tention-grabber, but the truth is that you do things not simply for the notoriety. You are driven by the very real benefits to be had by

-your efforts - for others, as well as for yourself.

You have a curious, inquisitive nature, and you are driven to learn as much as you can about yourself, others and the world around you. You enjoy jumping into new situa­tions boldly and aggressively, but you are never one to throw caution to the wind. You are always care­ful and methodical.

Also born on this date are: Daniel Boone, explorer and fron­tiersman; Warren G. Harding and James K. Polk, U.S. presi­dents; Shere Hite, researcher and author; Burt Lancaster, ac­tor; Ann Rutherford and Alfre Woodard, actresses.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1995 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VJEWS-31

News Corp., TCI to form global sports network NEW YORK (AP) - Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. I.Jd. and the biggest U.S. cable system said Tues­day they had fonned an alliance to obtain sports programming and tele­vise it worldwide.

News Corp. and cable company Tele-Communications Inc. will each own 50 percent of the venture that will control a global network of sports TV netwmks.

It is expected to become a fonni­dable figure in bidding for six>rts rights around the world, competing with the likes of F.SPN, the U.S.­based cable sports channel operator controlledbyCapitalCities/ABCinc.

'Tusisaconunencementofa new

era in televised sports," said Peter Barton, the president and chief ex­ecutive of Liberty Media Corp., the programming ann of TCL which is based in Colorado.

He said the alliance "will create a dream team in sports with a unique combination of strengths, assets and entrepreneurial wills."

Both companies awn a combina­tion of TV channels and sports pro­gram rights that they will contribute to the venture. The partners said the assets are valued at more than dlrs 2 billion in all.

News Corp. willcontributeitstwo­year-old fX cable network that cur­rently has about 25 million subscrib-

ers. The fX network currently airs entertainn)ent programing but will add sports to the mix.

lnaddition,NewsCorp.hasagreed ·· to pay Liberty $ 300 million in cash, saidChaseCarey,chainnanandchief executiveofFox Television, which is owned by News Corp.

Liberty is C01Jtributing its interests in 15 regional sports networks that often cany the Prime Sports banner as well as rights to televise soccer, boxing, college football, professional basketball and other sports.

The regional cable channels cur­rently has about 50 million U.S. sub­scribers, and will continue to carry regional programming.

Butitisexpectedtheregionalchan­nels will provide added clout when the venture bids on sports rights.

Internationally, News Corp. will C01Jtributevariousinternationalsports rights and lhe Srar sports channel that is beamed lhroughout Asia, while TCI' s international di vision is con­tributing its Prime Deportiva Span­ish-language sports service and an Argentinian sports programming and production business and various sports rights.

DavidHill,presidentofFoxSports, has been named as chief executive of the new venture.

Fox Television's rights to broad­casttheU .S. National FootballLeague

and U.S. National Hockey League are excluded from the venture.

But lhe venture will give the Fox broadcast network an important ally when it bids for sports rights much as FSPN enjoys because of its link to ABC, the broad:ast televisioo net­worl: of Capital Cities/ABC.

JohnReidy,mediaanalystfa'Smilh Barney, said the News Corp.-TCI venture will find F.SPN, with its two cable netwodcs, a formidable foo:e.

''Theseguyshavelcx:keduprights around lhe world," he said

He said he ~oos what the new venture will offer that F.SPN and a many other channels aren't already providing.

West tournament, experienced slight pain and cut the session short. She informed tour officials in the afternoon that she was withdraw­ing.

As the top seed, Se!es was not scheduled to play until Wednesday night.

She said she was disappointed to miss the Bank of the West, which she won in 1990 and 1992.

"You don't know how hard it was for me to decide this," she said.

Seles returned to tennis with much fanfare after missing two years to recover both physically and mentally from her stabbing at the hands of a crazed tennis fan during a match in Hamburg, Ger­many, in April 1993.

She was in top form from the start, capturing the Canadian Open in August, then advancing to the women's final of the U.S. Open where she lost to Graf.

Seles, who lives in Sarasota, Florida, has not played in a tourna­ment since the U.S. Open. The Bank of the West was to be her first indoor event since her return.

The 21-year-old said she prac­ticed only about a week in p_repara­tion for Oakland because she wanted to take it easy on the knee. The pain was sporadic, she said, but its pres­ence still concerned her.

"No one gets fired if we don't win," Jones said. 'The pain is enough. It was enough for me last year. Pain is all the penance I need.

''We'vejustgot to figure out a way todoit this year. All we have to remem­ber is how we're going to feel if we don't win."
