Ninth Circuit Court opinionCNMI Supreme Court erredTHE NINTH Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the CNMI Supreme Court erred in using the resulting trust doctrine in decid­ing a land claim under Article 12 of the CNMI Constitution.

“The Commonwealth cannot constitutionally deprive a person of a property interest through the expedient of an untenable judi­cial interpretation of local, law that denies that a property interest ever existed," the Ninth Circuit Court said in an opinion dated Aug. 19.

The federal court vacated the local Supreme Court’s decision and remanded the case between Diana C. Ferreira against the Mafnas-Boija group for further proceedings consistent with the

Ninth Circuit’s opinion.Diana and her husband Frank

and James and Barbara Grizzard entered into a partnership on Oct. 21,1980 to buy and subdivide for resale or lease a parcel of land in San Roque. The agreement pro­vided that the Grizzards would lend $41,000 to the partnership for the purchase of the property. Frank was to contribute $9,000 to cover surveying, subdividing, le­gal and accounting costs. Diana was to buy the property and lease it to the partnership for 40 years.

The first $41,000 in partner­ship income, plus interest, was to go to the Grizzards to repay their loan. Further profits were to be divided equally among the part­ners.

On Oct. 22, 1980 Diana pur­chased the property from the Mafnas family for $20,000. In 1982,1983 and 1984 she bought two adjoining parcels from Mafnas for about $80,000 fur­nished by the Grizzards.

The Commonwealth Trial Court voided the sale, concluding that although Diana held title to the properties, her partners ,who are not of Northern Marianas de­scent, “deemed” themselves to be owners of the land and exercised “control” over it.

On appeal, majority 'of the CNMI Supreme Court concluded that because the Grizzards sup­plied the money, Diana held title to the property as trustee for the Grizzards under a “resulting

trust”Edward C. King, chief justice

of the Supreme Court of the Fed­erated States of Micronesia who sit in the CNMI court as special judge, issued a dissenting opin­ion. Hesaid that although the part­nership agreement violated Ar­ticle 12 by giving persons not of Northern Marianas descent im­permissible interests on the prop­erty, the court’s application of the resulting trust doctrine was im­proper and the sale from Mafnas to Diana was valid.

“We agree with Judge King that the CNMI Supreme Court’s ap- plicationof the resulting trust theory was untenable,” the Ninth Circuit Court said.

It said the purpose of the result­

ing trust doctrine is to protect per­sons who are the rightful owners of land even though they do not have legal title. Even if Ferreira and her. partners did intend to create a re- sulting trust in favor of partners not of CNMI descent their actions would not have created a resulting trust because the transaction would have an illegal purpose - avoidance of the land alienationrestrictions of Article 12, the court said.

According to the federal court, the CNMI Supreme Court used its power to create a resulting trust in favor of Ferreira’s part­ners and then use the existence of the resulting trust as a basis for voiding the sale and giving the land back to the Mafnas-Borja clan.

Johnston conditions to hurt Rota, TinianALTHOUGH the conditions laid out by Senator J. Bennet Johnston in his bill to revivethe$120 million infrastructuregrantfor the CNMI are workable, they will affect the less developed economies of Rota and Tinian, acting Governor Benjamin T. Manglona said Friday.

“We still believe it will be a lot better for us not to have a cap on alien labor, but if Congress presses that on us, all we ask for is some flexibility to spare the islands of Rota and Tinian,” Manglona said in an interview.

The limit on the number of alien workers in the Commonwealth was one of the conditions laid out by Johnston in his bill which also seeks to raise the local labor content of the islands' garments industry.

The measure followed the rejection by Congress of the third multi­year financial assistance for the CNMI, which commits the federal government tofimd $ 120 million worth of infrastructure in the island chain, to be matched by the same amount by the local government.

The package was dropped from the federal reconciliation budget due to concerns cm the rising number of alien workers in the CNMI, labor abuses, low minimum wage and a generous taxation system.

The Johnston bill seeks approval of the funding package condi­tioned on the following: the CNMI must freeze immigration at the 1992 level; increase the percentage of resident labor in the garments industry; raise the same amount of net revenues as if the federal mirror tax is applied and amend the minimum wage to reflea the same job category exemptions and the same level of deductions for housing and other benefits contained under the Fair Labor Standards Act_ According to Manglona, such conditions may be workable, but

there is concern on whether the economies of Rota and Tinian can withstand such conditions.

“There should be some room for flexibility here, say, on the cap on workers. This could n a be done without seriously hurting current efforts to develop the two islands," he said.

Aside from need to protect Tinian and Rota’s fragile economies, Manglona also expressed concern about the proposed restriction on the garment factoriesin maintaining a higher local labor percentage. . He said this process must be done gradually ánd n a drastic as this could also impact the amount of revenues being collected by government.

“Overall, I am very grateful with the gesture of Senator Johnston in sponsoring this bill as this represents a chance for the CNMI to prove itself worthy of future help,” Manglona said. “But we would have to review its provisions very carefully so that we can air whatever concerns we mav have on its effect on the economy."

Hofschneider chides Guerrerofor delay in probe of shootingREPRESENTATIVE Heinz S. Hofschneider chided the Guerrero admimstration Thursday fonts lack ofinterestinsolvingthe 11-month- old shooting incident at the houses of three lawmakers.

“I have substantive information on the perpetrators of the dastardly crime,” he said. “But the lack of desire on the part of the govern­ment to come up with a conclusive repot on the incident is leadingme to believe we’re headed towards a cover-up."

“The people in power are very complacent and in my view they are very close to have desired them­selves the shooting has occurred. In no time everything will be ex­posed,” Hofschneider said in an interview.

Back from a two-week medical

referral trip to San Diego where he accompanied two members of his immediate family fo treatment, Hofschneider was interviewed about his recent removal from the list of the Republican Party’s can­didates f a Precinct 3.

Hofschneider and Representa­tives Francisco DLG. Camacho and Stanley T. Tores were awakened by gunfire between 3 ajn. and 4 am on Sept. 26,1992, a day after Camacho proposed impeachment proceedings against governor Lorenzo I. Guerrero.

Automatic pistols of similar cali­ber were first fired at Camacho’s place in San Roque, shattering the glass doors of the family-owned grocery store.

Abort 30 minutes later, bullets pierced the closed aluminum shut­

ters of Tones’ house.Another 30 minutes afterwards,

Hofschneider’s frontporch was hitThe governa issued statement

condemning the shooting and or­dered an immediate investigation.

No suspects have been arrested almost a year after the shooting.

The House of Representatives has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation through a resolution to take over the investigation from local police.

During yesterday’s interview, Hofschneider said he received in- formation on the case but decline to give details.

Guerrero is off-island. DPS Di­rector Gregorio Camacho and Deputy Directa Frank Camacho could n a be reached for comment. (RHA)

^MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-MONDAY- AUGUST 23,1993

Asian developers bypassing SaipanHUNDREDS of resort hotels are being built rightnow across Asia and the South Pacific despite the Japanese recession, but Saipan is not benefiting largely be­cause of the Article 12 issue, according to the head of a California company which tracks such development world­wide.

Ronald M. Harwith, founder of the Los Angeles-based Pacific Rim Infor­mation Network (PRIN), said in an in­terview last week that his company is currently tracking resort projects total­ling 45,000 - 55,000 rooms which are being built for 1994 - 95 openings with Japanese and other Asian investment capital.

The notion that Japanese-financed resort development has come to a stand­still because of the recession is a com­plete myth, he insists.

“The major Japanese companies are still there,” Harwith maintains, citing mega-resorts now being built such as: - The Gamagori Marine Resort Develop­ment in Japan, a S1 -5 billion project with an 820 slipmarina, owned by aNagoya- based firm;

- A SI.2 billion resort spanning Babeldaob and Koror with more than 700 rooms, being built by a Tokyo- based Ocean Development Co.’

- The Kia Ora Royale, opening next year in French Polynesia under the own­ership of a Tokyo Coca Cola bottling affiliate;

- The 200 unit Ocean Dunes in Perth, Australia, opening in 1995 and owned by the Kayu group in Noda City;

- The 650-room Kawela Bay Hotel opening in 1995 on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, owned by Japan-based Asahi Jyuken.

Harwith says there is more “evidence that the Japanese are still actively in­volved in other parts of the world,” in the number of projects the biggest Japanese ho tel-cons truction firms now have in and outside Japan, the largest construc­tion firm, Kajima Corp., is a general contractor on behalf of Japanese owner- operators on 26 projects, 15 of them outside Japan. Another, Shimizu Corp., is handling 25 projects including 22 outside of Japan. And a third, Taisay Corp. is handling 19projects, 15 outside of Japan, he says.

Harwith says the Japanese recession is nothing like theonewhichhasplagued the US since the late 1980s: “I've been in Detroit when there's a recession; I’ve just come back from Tokyo and there's one hell of a difference. Money is tight in Japan and some of the newer projects are proceeding at a slower pace than before. But people are still taking their vacations; you don’t see massive lay­offs like you would see here in the US in a recession.”

Besides the Japanese, wealthy inves­tors from Taiwan, Hong Kong and throughout Asia are pouring capital into new Pacific rim resort projects. “Japa­

nese investment is certainly’ happening in Southeast Asia,” Hartwith says, add­ing that the capital flowing from so- called "overseas Chinese” investors, is more than that from US and Japan pul together. “We add about another 40 projects each month, so we know that there is a tremendous amount taking place in this part of the world,” he says.

Data from Harwith’s company shows hundreds of resort and golf course projects set to open this year or now under construction:

Ironically, the Japanese recession should be good for Saipan’s tourism business, Harwith says. “Because of the slowdown in the economy, Japanese tourists have become much more cost- conscious in their travels, for them, it is a lot cheaper to go [on a three-hour flight] to S aipan and some of the islands, than it is to [fly eight hours to] Hawaii, which may have been their destination of choice in the past." Thus, says H arwith, therecession drives more Japa­nese tourists to Saipan, which should drive more Japanese developers to in­vest here — but for Saipan's Article 12 problem.

“In my opinion the Article 12 issue is Saipan has caused Japanese as well as any other prospective developers to re­ally hold back from proceeding, just because of what they’ve seen happen to the Hotel Nikko,” he said, explaining: “If someone could take on Japan Air

very emotional issue for m any people in developing - particularly on islands - where land gets passed down from fam­ily to family, so everybody is assured of a livelihood. And that hasn’t been a concern to them - they respect that.”

‘They recognized that the business they’re in is selling rooms and services... that they really have to make their money on the product itself. And so, there’s no problem with local ownership.”

But Harwith feels the real problem comes from the uncertainty caused by situations likeSaipan's Article 12crisis. “[The Nikko situation] has created a great deal of uncertainty. The projects in Saipan that were reported on in the past, are on hold today because the de­velopers and operators don’tknow what they're going to have afterwards, and they’re reluctant to risk their money or their investors money in this type of project.

‘The opportunities to put that money into other countries - be it Indonesia or the other islands — are so great, that they’d rather go where there is less risk, ” he explained.

Is the Article 12 crisis stopping Saipan’stourism sector dead in its tracks? “I would expect that none of [the devel­opers] will go forward until they know that all the outstanding issues have been resolved, and they can proceed with confidence that the contracts [leases] they have, will be enforceable,"Hartwith

Lines like that - and threaten them with that kind of loss - many of these other companies don't have the resources to fight something like that, and will be very reluctant to proceed.” [Nikko has been sued in one of the more than 20 pending Article 12 cases, and both it and its parent-company, JAL, have threat­ened to leave the CNMI if it loses the case.)

Harwith is quick to point out that Article 12 itself is not the problem: “When I ask developers how important it is to own land, they'll say it’s nice, but it’s not critical as long as I have a long enough lease on the land to re-coup my investment. Most of the larger ones[developers] recognize that the land is a

says.“If I were in Saipan, and saw the

slowdown in development, I would have to ask myself how come they’re build­ing so aggressively elsewhere in South­east Asia, and not where we are? Be­cause we know that we have an attrac­tive location for Japanese tourists as well as tourists from Taiwan and Korea.

“Those [Taiwanese and Korean] economies are still very strong, and their people are still taking a lot of trips. If you’re from Korea or Taiwan, there are not many resorts to go to. You have to go someplace else and certainly Saipan is a very attrac­tive location and provides that kind of an opportunity,”

Sewer water- contaminates ditch, beach in San RoqueTHE DIVISION of Environmental Qual­ity (DEQ) has found excessive concen­tration of fecal coliform bacteria in wa­ter samples taken from the drainage ditch and beach area in San Roque.

The water quality test was conducted because of overflowing sewer manholes in the area.

DEQ urged the public not to fish or swim in the drainage ditch near the cemetery or within 600 feet of the San Roque school beach until further notice.

Response to article on New York Times

{The following letter was sent to, and published by The New York Time s. Acopy was sent by theauthor t o t heVariety, abofor publication; Ed)Dear Editor:

A sa citizen of the United States and a resident of Saipan, Common­wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, I would like to respond to your front page article of Sunday, July 18 entitled “Saipan Sweatshops Are No American Dream” and other related articles on page 10. -*

I agree that we have many issues in the CNMI that need to be addressed and that are being addressed. Many of these have to do with ways of supporting an island economy that is rapidly changing from primitive to progressive," I have been a part of workshops and planning groups to study and make recommendations in areas of economic and social reform.

Our need at this rime for outside labor, whether it be US citizens or “alien” (which includes persons from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Republic of the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Korea, Southeast Asia or other Pacific Islanders), is real, providing services which the local people are unable at this time to provide.

Remember the Commonwealth is only fifteen years old. Prior to their obtainingindependence in 1978, the indigenous Chamorro and Carolin­ian people were governed by the Spanish, the Germans, the Japanese and then the United States, going back to the sixteenth century. Self- govemance is a new concept in the CNMI, and there have been many persons from Asia and from the United States who have used this opportunity to make fast profits and run.

Most outsiders come on one or two year contracts, to work at a specific job and then to return to their homeland, whether the US, Philippines, China or wherever. Some from developing countries come hoping to be able to move on to the US. They come because they can make more money in a short period of time than they can “back home.” They are willing to make sacrifices to send that money back. Poverty and greed dare the culprits. As in other parts of the world, some workers are exploited. Others are not. I have seen a garment factory barracks with four persons in each air conditioned room, each with an enclosed sleeping area. They eat in a cafeteria on the grounds. Some garment factory owners take advantage of their workers, and some run out of money. These problems are being addressed by the Commonwealth Department of Commerce and Labor. Does more remain to be done? Yes, of course.

Ilived most of my life in the United States. I livednear San FemanjK); California, and saw the exploitation of the Hispanic-Americans, andthe African-Americans of nearby Pacoima. I lived in Orange County,

,v,California, when the refugees began pouring in from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, a woman who became a good friend had been a medical doctor in Cambodia. Because she spoke several languages but not English, she was forced to work in a garment factory at far below minimum wage—in Orange County, California. I have visited the Native American villages ofZuni, Isleta and others, and have seen the ways these people are kept dependent upon the government of the United States. I have visited the garment section of New York City and heard the honor stories of mob involvement. And I have read about the exploitation of mushroom growers in Pennsylvania, of garment work­ers in Appalachia, of textile workers in the Sourthcm US. The newowners of garment factories in Saipan have come from Georgia, looking for cheap labor.

The article talked about Chinese workers whose employers went out of business, leaving the workers stranded here. The surety company in a former WW2 bunker until a way is found for them to return to China. These bunkers are also used by victims of typhoons until their houses are rebuilt Food is being provided by emergency food rations from social service agencies.

Because we live cm a developing island in the western Pacific, we are often without electric power or water. Our infrastructure is steadily improving and is far ahead of most other Micronesian islands, but these are things with which we all live.

OursocialsystemsarefarbehindmanypartsoftheUnitedStates,butare also steadily improving. Anetworkof ourislandsocial services is in place and various agencies are connecting to it Using a grant from the Administration for Native Americans in Washington, D.C., this network is fully computerized and will allow better services to be provided for alien workers as well as for the indigenous peoples.

The elected legislators are encouraged daily to pass laws that will improve conditions far all including alien workers. As in any other democracy, the next election will determine whether or not they have responded to the requests of their constituents.

The Commonweal thoftheNortheni Mariana Islands is fifteenyears old During the first fifteen years of the United States as a country there was no Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments to the Constitution were passed in 1791. We have much workto doin the CommonwealtfrbutI hopethat history will judge us by our accomplishments, and not by our failures, the

States. We hope to work as partners, and not as adversaries. Sincerely yours,/s/Rev. Barbara Grace Ripple Pastor, Immanuel Methodist Church

Sept. 10 proclaimed POW/MIA Day here

GOVERNOR Lorenzo I Guarero has proclaimed Sept. 10 as CNMI POW/MIA Recognition Day to rec­ognize soldiers who were listed as prisoners of war or missing in action during the Vietnam War.

“By this small but sincere indica­tion of our support and concern, the citizens of the CNMI, as tire newest members of die American political family, want to join their fellow Americans in sending a strong signal to die Indochinese governments, pri­marily Vietnam, that all Americans hold the lives cf our POWs/MLAs in toe highest regards,” Guerrero sâd dining die signing of theproclamation on Aug 16.

The US Congress and die Clinton administration also declared Sept 10

as a special day of remembrance for about 2£52offioers and menwho are still listed as POWs or MIAs.

Only nine Americans have been acccuntedforinthepasttwoyearsand US intelligence confirms hundreds more can be accounted for through full and open cooperation.

In his proclamation, the governor said the sacrifices of Americans still missing andunaccountedfor,and their families and friends, are deserving of national recognition and support.

‘The CNMI, while havingno local citizens included in those missing do want to show their support for those in)ivkkials,thefffami]ies,theff friends and all other concerned Americans who, as a result, suffer acute and con­tinuing hardships,” Guerrero said.

Workshop series set Rota village gets CUC servicesTHE CNMI Council for the Hu­manities and the CNMI Resource Development and Conservation Council are jointly sponsoring a series of workshops for members of non-profit and government board.

The workshops, organized and presented by the National Center for Non-profit Boards in Washing­ton, D.C., focus cm three areas essential to the successful opera­tion of non-profit boards. These are effective board leadership, strategic planning and protecting board members from liability.

The workshop will be held in the Oceania Restaurant at the Hyatt

Regency Hotel on Sept 13 from 9 ajn.to5p.rn. The workshops, re­duced from $120 as previously announced, will cost only $78 (in­cludes refreshments and lunch, a $ 15 value) per person for registration on or before Sept 10. Registration fee at the door will be $95 per person.

For more information, contact the CNMI Council for the Humanities, Caller Box AAA 3394, Saipan, MP 96950, or call 2354785 (fax 235- 4786).

The CNMI Council for the Hu­manities is a private, non-profit corporation funded, in pan, by the National Endowment for the Hu­manities.

“3,2,1, Energize!” That was the scene last night in Rota as hun­dreds of residents received electricity and water for the first time.

Acting Governor Benjamin T. Manglona officiated at a cer­emony Sunday nighthonoring the Commonwealth Utilities Corpo­ration (CUC) for delivering services to residents of the Sina Palo II homestead.

While construction will con­tinue for two weeks, the power lines and water pipes were in­stalled in a record three days. Last Monday alone, 310 pieces of wa­

ter pipe were positioned. From Tuesday through Saturday, 130 power poles and street lights were put up and 56,000feet of primary electrical wire was strung throughout the homestead.

“I’m really impressed,” said Rota’s Steve Mesngon, who lives in the village. He said he was most concerned with his children who had no water or power. Now they do.

A few roads over, Sina Palo’s Thomas Atalig expressed grati­tude because his life will be better. He had previously invested too much time and money on sup­

plies.“First I had to get ice for ice

water. Then, I had to go get ice to cool my meats. Then another trip for gasoline for a generator; but, now this is good,” he said.

The new power and water sys­tem features a special design which isolates problems. For example, if a power pole is dam­aged by a vehicle, the problem will be isolated to only that area. Residents who live down the street will be protected from minor out­ages. The entire project was designed in-house by CUC’s en­gineering staff.

Kwajalein misses dayKWAJALEIN, Marshall Is­lands (AP) - If you are (me of the nearly 1,800 people who work f a the Army at this remote Cen­tral Pacific missiles testing site and Aug. 21 is a birth date or important anniversary, forget it this year.

“Aug. 21 will be nonexistent on Kwajalein,” Roy Clemans said

Thursday. At the request of the Marshall Islands’ government, Col. Gene Hazel, US Army Kwajalein Atoll commander, agreed to place the range on Marshallese time at midnight Friday, Aug. 20.

“We jump from Friday to Sun­day,” Clemans, who is temporary acting public affairs officer, said.

The Marshall Islands are west of the international dale line. Presently, the islands are 22 hours ahead of Hawaii, 19hours ahead of California and 16 hours ahead of the US east coast.

With the change,Kwajalein’sworic week will be Tuesday through Satur­day to coincide with the US Mainland’s Monday-Friday week.

Torres, Hofschneider can’t run as Republicans

REPRESENTATIVES Heinz S. Hofschneider and Stanley T. Torres cannot run as Republicans in the November elections, ac­cording to Juan M. Diaz, execu­tive director of the Board of Elec­tions.

In an interview Friday, Diaz clarified that Hofschneider and Tomes’ names would be on the ballot not as Republicans but as independent candidates. The Re­publican Party excluded the two from the official roster of candi­dates on Aug.13.

“Unless they formed their own party, they could not run as inde­pendent Republicans as reflected in our ballots,” Diaz said. “It is either you run with the party or run as independent.”

“As far as we’re concerned, there is no such thing as a Repub­lican independent,” he added.

Diaz made the clarification in reaction .to a statement made by both Torres and Hofschneider Thursday they would run as Re­publicans for Precinct 3 despite their removal from the official slate.

“The motion to replace us was premeditated by a handful of GOP officials which do not necessarily represent the views of the Repub­lican Party community. Therefore, it is without reservation that we declare our candidacy to run as republicans,” Torres and Hofschneider said.

Diaz said the two can claim themselves to still be Republi-

cans but should clarify that they are not running as official party candidates.

By not doing so, they may be misrepresenting themselves and confuse the voting public, he said.

“There is a provision in our election code that allows no po­litical parties to field in a number of candidates inexcess of the num­ber of elective posts available. So this means that after the GOP party endorses all their candidates, no other candidates may run as Republicans,” Diaz said.

The Republican Party on Aug. 13 endorsed six candidates for Precinct 3, namely: George Duefias, Jesus T. Attao, Crispin I. DL. Guerrero, Benjamin A.

Sablan, Malua Peter and Jesus P. Mafnas. The last two were re­placements for Torres and Hofschneider.

Meanwhile, Diaz said the Board of Election is about to award a printing contract for the ballots to be used.

“We have everything being readied. The ballot boxes are be­ing checked andfixed; the polling booths are being painted; the tabu­lation sheets are being printed by our staff and the printing job is about to go out to the lowest bid­der,” Diaz said.

He said a total of five on-island printing companies have submit­ted bid for the contract. Awarding is set for this week.

Jackson arrives in Bangkok

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - More than 100 cheering fans car­rying posters and “Welcome Michael Jackson” banners met the pop superstar on his arrival at a Bangkok hotel early Sunday.

Jackson kicks off his “Danger­ous” world tour with concerts at the National Stadium on Tuesday and Wednesday. The tour will also take Jackson to Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Moscow, Tel Aviv, Istanbul and the Canary Is­lands.

Accompanied by beefy body­guards, the singer arrived by van at the hotel just after midnight amid a crush of fans and photog­raphers. He later waved from a hotel balcony.

Both Bangkok shows sold out within inhours, the40,000tickets priced at between 500 and 2,500 baht ($20 to 100).

The singer will perform under tight security.

Jackson has been assigned a police guard, and 2,000 police and soldiers with guard dogs and metal detectors will secure the stadium, the Bangkok Post re­ported Saturday.

Officials were also bracing for an estimated20,000-cars that were expected to jam the roads near the stadium in central Bangkok, said Deputy Police Chief Vara Iammangkol. About 200 officers will direct traffic and 300 buses will shuttle fans from parking ar­eas miles (kilometers) away.

Jackson’s equipment arrived on two 747 jets and an ocean freighter, said promoter Brian Marcar. A truck convoy carrying the equipment and his 170-per­son crew jammed the road from the city’s airport.

Jackson is to tour Bangkok’s golden-spired Grand Palace on Monday, but other details of the visit are being kept under wraps.

Marcar earlier said Jackson might also visit Thai orphanages and charities for children.

Not everyone is being swept up by all the hoopla surrounding Jackson’s visit.

Sukree Charoensuk, a music critic and academic, said the con­cert would “strip the country of the remainder of its culture.”

Khmer Rouge asksBy Sheila McNulty

PHNOMPENH,Cambodia(AP) -Hie Khmer Rouge appealed toits former battlefield allies Saturday to stop attacking, urging them to remember the “joint straggles” of the past

The jdea came the day after the new national armed forcés seized one of the Khmer Rouge’s main bases after pounding it with more than 600 rounds of artillery and mortar.

Thai officers drove the400guer­rillas posted there and their 1,000 relatives across the border to seek sanctuary in Thailand. They took all their arms and ammunition with them.

The offensive was carried out by all three factions in the newly elected government - the two rebel groups that fought with the Khmer Rouge during the 13-year civil war and thfe previous administration they tried in vain to topple.

Those factions and the Khmer Rouge signed 1991 peace accord to end the war with UN-organized elections this past May. But the Khmer Rouge violated most of the accord’s provisions and then boy­cotted the poll, expecting the previ­ous, Vietnamese-installed admin­istration would win.

When the Khmer Rouge’s former allies of FUNCINPEC and KPNLF won the first- and third- biggest number of seats, however, the guerrilla group quickly offered to turn over its fighters and land if

made advisers to the administra­tion.

At the same time, however, the group has attacked targets con­trolled by the new government, meeting little resistance until this latest offensive, die biggest attack on thé Khmer Rouge since the UN mission began 17 months ago.

On Wednesday the government pciunded tiiestrategic Khmer Rouge base of Phum Chat in the north- western province of Banteay Meanchey. By Friday the government’s flag was flying in what had been considered the guer­rilla group’s second headquarters.

Attacks throughout Banteay Meanchey andotherprovinceshad yielded territory that had been un­der the Khmer Rouge’s control for years and allowed the government to disarm at least 600guerrillas.

The government’s ability to con­duct such a coordinated offensive shows that its factions have put aside their differences to form a strong administration and isolate the Khmer Rouge.

“I feel very sorry to see soldiers and officers who used to conduct joint straggles with us now attack­ing us fra their own interests,” said a senior Khmer Rouge officer in Phnom Penh.

Bits of Khmer Rouge uniforms, some ofthem bloodstained, littered the base Friday, along with photo­graphs of Head of State Prince Norodom Sihanouk, some autographed, drinking with senior Khmer Rouge leaders.

Earthquake causes landslides in PNGPORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) - Landslides were reported in the country ’s remote and sparsely populated Western Highlands province following a major earthquake, an official said Saturday.

The quake, measuring 6.5 on the Richter Scale, occurred Fri­day. Residents reported only mi­nor injuries.

The Australian Seismological Center inCanberra placed its epi­center at 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of the town of Tari, which is 650kilometers (400miles) north­

west of the capital Port Moresby.Leith Anderson, director-gen­

eral of the National Disaster and Emergency Council, said initial reports showed extensive dam­age to housing.

“Quite a lot of villages have been damaged and this has been made worse by landslides in the area,” Anderson said.

“We expect there will be a lot of damage reports coming in.”

Gas wells at the nearby settle­ment of Hides were shut down immediately after the quake.. Its manager Fred Haynes said

operations will not restart until safety checks are conducted al­though no damage is apparent

An Australian Seismologi­cal Center spokesman said earthquakes are common in Papua New Guinea but ones of this magnitude happened only once or twice a year.

The Richter scale is a gauge of the energy released by an earthquake, as measured by the ground motion recorded on a seismograph. Quakes over magnitude 6 can cause severe damage.

Rodney K in g arrested for drunken drivingLOS ANGELES (AP) - Rodney King, the blackmotorist whose beat­ing by white police officers trig­gered rioting in Los Angeles, was arrested Saturday for drunken driv­ing after he crashed his car into a wall, police said.

King was driving in an area west of downtown Los Angeles at about 1:40 a.m. when his car plowed into the wall, said police Detective Chad Wetzel.

Police decided King was driving under the influence and booked him on the misdemeanor charge, Wetzel said. He was released on his own recognizance, said Detective James Edward.

Tests indicated King’s blood al­cohol level was .19, more than twice the legal limit of .08, Wetzel said. The charge was a misdemeanor be­cause no other vehicles were in­volved. King was driving with two passengers. No one was hurt.

On March 3, 1991, King was stopped for speeding and was beaten by police officers. The beating was taped by a bystander and the public­ity surrounding the case inspired massive race rioting in Los Angeles. Two white police officers were sen­tenced to 21/2 years in prison each for violating King’s civil rights.

King has been arrested several times since the videotaped beating, but no charges were filed.

On May 28,1991, he was arrested after vice police accused him of dy­ing to pick up a transvestite male prostitute. Police said King tried to run down two undercover officers who approached his vehicle.

Diana enjoys vacation in BaliJAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Britain’s Princess Diana ducked the limelight and enjoyed a private vacation on the fabled resort island of B ali, swooping in without fanfare to sample exotic splendor far from foggy London town.

Tour of Clinton home for $2HOPE, Ark. (AP) - A weekend visitor to President Clinton’s hometown can tour his first home for a mere $2.

Clinton lived in the two-story frame house from his 1946 birth until 1950. A cousin, Sammie Crabtree, owns the home and is offering tours to help pay for an estimated $250,000 in needed repairs.

An electrical fire in April 1992 left some areas charred or water damaged, but caused no significant structural damage.

The house was to be open for tours during the 17th annual Hope Watermelon Festival this weekend, expected to attract some 80,000 visitors.

The president lived at the home on South Hervey Street with his mother, Virginia Kelley, and ter parents.

Dale Drake, Mrs. Kelley’s first cousin who lived nearby, said she didn’t remember Clinton’s favorite toy, “but he always wore his cowboy hat”

In 1950, Clinton and his mother moved to another house in Hope, before moving to Hot Springs about two years later.

Olivet recruits AngelouOLIVET, Mich. (AP) - Poet Maya Angelou is the latest recruit in Olivet College’s efforts to ease campus racial tensions lingering more than a year after a brawl between black and white students.

The black writer gave a videotaped interview Friday promoting multiculturalism. It will be shown at orientation sessions.

Angelou spoke about ter life, how she became a writer and the US civil rights movement Quoting a slave, she said, “I am a human. Nothing human can be alien to me.”

Many black students left fearing for their safety, following the 1992 brawl. The school president resigned, but blacks at the small, liberal arts college still complain about campus hostility and a Eurocentric curricu­lum.

Born today, you have mch keen am­bitions and such a grand and all-cco- saming desire to make a name for voorsuf in the world that you are like­ly to begin working toward distinct and specific goals at a remarkably early age.

This Is something you must learn to ctmtroll

By Tom Coyne

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Andrei Medvedev used a power­ful serve to overcome Andre Agassi’s masterful return game, advancing to the Volvo Interna­tional finals with a7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 6-3 victory on Saturday. Medvedev, 19 next week, will be seekinghis sixth tournament title, but first on a surface other than clay, when he meets Petr Korda on Sunday. Korda, who won the hardcourt tournament two years ago, advanced with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over unseeded Byron Black.

Medvedev had 23 aces, 11 in the first set as Agassi managed just two points off Medvedvev’s first serve in the set.

‘Tve'never done anything like this before,” Medvedev said of his masterful serving. “Not even in practice when there’s no one on the other side of the court.”

The match featured many long rallies between the two baseliners. Agassi frequently had the advan­tage, but it wasn’tenough to over­come Medvedev’s serve.

“I don’t think there’s anything he could have done. I was hitting the comers and all the places that make it tough to return," Medvedev said.

It took 11 tries before Agassi gotMedvedev’sserveinplay and 19 tries before he scored a point off it. Medvedev said playing at night was an advantage because of the poor lighting that drew player complaints all week. But

Agassi wouldn't place the blame there.

“He served huge, regardless what the light situation,” Agassi said.

Agassi broke Medvedev twice and was broken only once, but Medvedev outplayed him on the crucial points,especially in the first-set tiebreaker.

Medvedev finally took com­mand of the first set when he ran off four straight points in the tiebreaker, starting on consecu­tive unforced errors by Agassi, to lead 5-2. On the first unforced error Agassi missed wide on an approach shot. The second was a backhander from deep behind the baseline that hit the top of the net.

‘To get that mini-break was huge. In the first set anybody could see that he couldn’t return my serve and I was much weaker on the baseline. For me to be able to get that mini-break, that was the point that put my mind cm the deadline.

“Before that I wasn’t very sure. But then I knew if I served well I had a chance to win,” Medvedev said.

Medvedev continued to over­power Agassi with his serve in the second set until the fifth game when Agassi suddenly ran off a string of three straight points, capped by a backhander down the line. He broke serve again in the niilth-game.

Medvedev finally got his first break in the opening game of the third set and didn’t surrender the advantage.

Americans don’t need Lewis to set records

By Bert Rosenthal

STUTTGART, Germany (AP) - The Americans apparently don’t need Carl Lewis to set records in the 400-meter relay.

Tte US teamshowto that emphatically Saturday,asJonDrummond, Andre Cason, Dennis Mitchell and Leroy Burrell matched the world record of 37.40 seconds during a semifinal heat at the World Championships..' It was a stunning performance, considering it was the first time the relay record ever had been broken or tied other than in a final. And it was dene withoutLewis, who had run anchor on the six teams - either representing the United States or his Santa Monica Track Club - that had matched or bettered the record in die past 10 years.

“We don’t need Carl Lewis cm the end of a400-meter relay team to run a world record - and we just proved it,” said Cason, who ran a sensational second leg. “This is a dream relay team.”

“I can’t believe they’re going to make us run again tomorrow (Sunday in the final),” the histrionic Drummohd said. “We had ho intention of going out and breaking the record.”

The record-equalling performance by the US relay team and the Americans’ verbal jousting with the British team over sprinting supremacy carried more impact than Saturday’s six finals, including a world record.

Russia’s AnaBiryukovadestroyedtherecordinthewomen’striple jump, soaring 15.09 meters (49feet-6 l-4inches)surpassingthemaik of 14.97 (49-11-2) set by teammate'Yolanda Chen this year.

In other women’s finals, Junxia Wang led a 1-2 Chinese finish in the rough-and-tumble 10,000 meters, winning in 30:4930, a world junior record and the fastest in the world in 1993, and Cubans finished1-2 in the high jump, with Ioamnet Quintero winning at 1.99(6-61- 4), theh dedicating her victory to Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

in the men’s finals, Switzerland’s Wemor Gunthor won his third straight world shot put title, throwing 21.97 (72-1), the farthest in the world this year; Kenyans Moses Kiptanui and Patrick Sang were 1- 2 for the second straight championships in the 3,000-meter steeple­chase, with Kiptanui timed in 8:06.36, the year’sfastest, and Spain’s Jesus Garcia took the 50-kilometer walk in 3:41:41, also the year’s best time.

After the relay race, Drummond put on a show for the capacity crowd of 52,200 at Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium who had cheered wildly for the co-record holders. He fell to the ground in a mock faint, staggered around like a drunk and jokingly gestured to the fans.

When he and his teammates ran, however, they were all business Especially Burrell.

As the new anchor man, he had the responsibility of bringing home the baton, the job usually reserved for Lewis.

“Carl came to my room last night and he said it’s the first time in his international experience thathe hadn’t anchored theUS A4xl00,” Burrell said. “He told me if he had to hand the stick off to anybody, he was glad it was me.

“I feel like I have to own up to that, because Carl’s been a keystone in track and field in the US

“He’s given me a great deal of responsibility.”While the US team was flying on the trade, Lewis was flying in the

The Americans ’ sizzling show sent a strong message to the British team, which had been claiming sprint supremacy after Linford Christie won the lOQaridJohnRegis was runner-up in the 2GQ, ahead of Olympic gold medalist Mike Marsh and Lewis.

Asked if he was worried about the Brits in the final, Burrell said, “No concern whatsoever.”

Drummond had the same feeling.‘Tell them to bring a tank, because there will be a fight all night,”

he said. “We made a statement out there.”Christie wasn’t convinced“The talking is done tomorrow,” he said with a sneer. “I thought I

was running a semifinal. I didn’t realize I was running a final.”TheBritsranateamofJasonJohn,TonyJarrett,DarrenBraithwaite

and Christie. John andBraithwaiteprobablywillbe replaced by Colin Jackson and Regis for the final, giving the Brits a “dream medal team.”

In addition to Christie’s gold in these championships, Jackson set the world record in the 110-meter hurdles, while Jarrett and RegiS won silver medals.
