Serving ÇNMI for 20 Years

C N M I l o t t e r y l a u n c h e d t o d a yBy Rafael H. Arroyo

A GRAND prize of $3 million is up for grabs Saturday as the CNMI welcomes an entirely new, high stakes, but affordable game - the new CNMI lottery game.

Tattersal Sweep Consultants of Melbourne, Australia, through its sole accredited overseas agent, The Mail Service, is holding its first grand draw on Saturday.

The game is to be officially launched today, according to a top official of The Mail Service, CNMI operators of the lottery company that recently executed a formal agreement last month.

“We expect to be extremely busy for the next few days regis­tering all new players in our two outlets in San Jose and Puerto Rico,” said John Hycenko, man­aging director for The Mail Ser­vice, in an interview yesterday.

“There is excitement in the air as we start our search for the next CNMI millionaire Saturday,” he added.

A top prize of $3 million awaits the player who could accurately predict the six numbers drawn randomly out by Tattersall Head­quarters in Australia.

Tattersall is the oldest privately- run lottery in the world having

$ 3 m i l l i o n t o p p r i z e i n f i r s t d r a w i n g S a t u r d a y

been licensed to operate for over 120 years.

“With our experience, we can guarantee honesty, integrity and fair play in our games. Besides, this is a very passive form of recreation, not addictive, not to mention that it actually does not cost much to play,” said Hycenko.

The new lottery game is com­posed of both the sale of instant scratch-and-win tickets and a tra- ditional lotto game called “Tattslotto” played twice each week, on Thursdays and Satur­days.

CNMI lotto players become part of a larger Tattslotto pool com­prised of over 5 million residents in various states throughout Aus­tralia and the Pacific.

To play the game, participants (only those 18 years and over) are to go to the Tattersal offices in San Jose and Puerto Rico, pick up a card and mark six numbers of his choice from 1 to45.The player gets to choose six numbers hop­ing to match all the six numbers that will be drawn.

After marking the card, he gives it to the Tattersall counter girl who will then feed the card to an electronic machine to register the

player’s number selection.The player will then be given a

stub indicating his number selec­tions.

The numerical choices are au­tomatically logged in and checked against the numbers that will be

drawn on either the Thursday or Saturday drawing.

According to Hycenko, six numbers are to be drawn every game, with two additional num­bers also being drawn afterwards, as supplemental numbers.

Should a player only get five out of the six drawn numbers right, but his sixth number is one out of the two supplemental numbers, he gets on to win second prize, which is $10,000 for this Satur­day.

A third prize of $ 1,000 goes to the player who gets only five num-

Court moves to protect worker from harassment

n

By Rafael H. Arroyo

THEUNlTHDStatesDistrictCoun on Tuesday granted a preliminary injunction earlier requested by a Chinese garments factory worker in connection with a labor com­plaint she filed against one of the firms owned by the family of Saipan garments magnate Willie Tan.

During a hearing October 12th on a motion filed by attorney Joe Hill, District Court Judge Alex Munson issued an order prohibit­ing any officer, employee, or agent of defendant American Investment Corp. from harassing or threaten­ing plaintiff Jianhong Yang until further order of the court.

The injunction alsoenjoinedany­one acting in behalf of AIC from restricting the plaintiff’s freedom of movement, from removing her from the Commonwealth and from compelling her to receive treat­ment from unlicensed medical per­sonnel.

“Defendants shall remain respon­sible for providing medical health care for the plaintiff from the Com­monwealth health Center or an­other licensed private medical doc­tor for medical complaints,” read the injunction.

Yang, a Chinese worker at the

American Investment Corp. sued her employers for violations of the Non-resident Workers Act, the Minimum Wage and Hour Act and the US Fair Labor Standards Act.

Named as defendants in the law­suit are American Investment and Jerry Tan.

Yang brought a total of 13 counts of labor violations against her em­ployers ranging from unpaid regu­lar and overtime wages to abusive and unlawful working conditions.

Aside from issuing the injunc­tion Tuesday, Munson also issued an order to show cause why defen­dants should not be held in civil contempt for violating a Septem­ber 22nd temporary restraining or­der he himself signed.

“Based upon the testimony and evidence adduced at the hearing, the court finds there is sufficient just and reasonable cause to be­lieve that defendants, acting through one of its employee and agent have violated the TRO by harassing plaintiff when she ap­peared for a deposition on October 8,1993,” Munson said in his order.

The court last September 22 found the issuance of a TRO war­ranted due to the potential for ir­reparable harm and financial harm to plaintiff if she were compelled to

depart from the CNMI.The TRO directed the defendants

to still continue to perform accord­ing to the plaintiff’s contract of employment; not to harass or threaten the plaintiff; not to restrict her freedom of movement; not to remove here from the Common­

wealth, among others.Hill claimed an employeeof AIC,

a certain Bao Jin Hua and an agent, Shi Pen Zhin violated the TRO by allegedly trying to intimidate Yang into talking to them when she ap­peared for a deposition on October

Both Bao and Shi have been ordered by Munson to appear be­fore the court on October 21 to show cause why they shou Id not be held in civil contempt.

Munson said confinement may be possible for violating the re­straining order.

B irthday celebrant drow ns off Laulau B ay

A JAPANESE celebrating his birthday drowned the other day after he went for a dip while on a picnic celebration with fam­ily andfriends at Laulau Beach.

DPS spokesperson Cathy Sheu identified the fatality as Uichiro Yamabe, a tourist who was celebrating his natal day October 12.

Investigation showed that Yamabe was with friends and family near Laulau Bay around 3:00 Tuesday afternoon when he decided to go for a swim with a certain Mr. Yatayama.

But as both the victim and Yatayama swam nearer the

reef, Yamabe suddenly disap­peared.

Yatayama then did a frantic searchforthe victimforone whole hour but failed to locate him.

A bystander by the name of William Sablan joined the efforts to locate the missing man just as operatives from the DPS emer­gency response units came.

With the assistance of emer­gency medical technicians (EMTs), and EMS coordinators,' Sablan found Yamabe and brought him ashore where the group tried to revive him with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The victim did not respond.

He was then brought to Com­monwealth Health Center where efforts to revive him also failed.

Doctor Mark Duran of CHC pronounced Yamabe dead at around 4:50 in the afternoon that same day.

Meanwhile, a man was ar­rested by police Monday for reckless driving, hit and run and assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with a “deliber­ate” accident that happened in near Winchells in Garapan.

Sheu said John Pangelinan, 18, was riding his bike in the Garapan area south of the Ba-

Sw iss law yers drag feet for w ealth searchMANILA (AP) - The government’s Swiss lawyers are dragging their feet in the task of recovering the wealth of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, de­spite being well paid, a congress­man says.

“These lawyers are just taking the Philippine government for a ride, and they are really protect­ing the Swiss banking interests,” said Rep. Victorico Chavez.

As early as 1987, the lawyers said they warned the Philippine government that Marcos would have to be tried in the Philippines. But then President Corazon Aquino did not allow the exiled former leader back in the country, complicating and globalizing the legal dispute.

Chavez’s remarks were con­tained in House records, made available Tuesday, of last week’s

deliberations cm the budget of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, the agency assigned to recover the Marcos wealth. .

The government claims Marcos embezzled billions of dollars dur­ing his 20-year rule before he was driven into exile in Hawaii by. the 1986 “people power revolution.”

Most of the Marcos fortune is believed hidden in Swiss accounts. At least $356 million there has

Lawyer's group recom m ends W ebster d isbarm entHONOLULU (AP) - The Dis­trict of Columbia Bar Associa­tion has recommended that former Palau interim special prosecutor David B. Webster be barred from practicing law in Washington.

The association’s board said Webster had failed to notify the organization that the Florida Su­preme Court had suspended him from practice in 1990.

Webster, who is believed to be living in Tampa, Fla., was hired by the Interior Department’s Of­fice of Territorial and Interna­tional Affairs in 1991 to be in­terim special prosecutor in Palau. He had been an assistant general in the Federated States of

Micronesia.;The September/October issue of

The Washington Lawyer an­nounced the July 21 disbarment recommendation against Webster.

The D.C. Bar Association learned of the 1992 Florida disciplinary action against Webster when he petitioned the Florida Bar for readmission.

Interior fired him in September 1992 after it discovered the Florida Bar had placed him on 18 months’ suspension and two years’ proba­tion in 1988 for nonintentional misappropriation and failure to provide a client written agreement describing the division of fees with another attorney.

The Pacific Daily News newspa­per cm Guam said a Florida Bar As­sociation audit turned up nearly $70,000 in money missing from cli­ents.

The Palau SupremeCourt also dis­barred him for lying on his affidavit of admission to practice law in the island chain.

The Guam newspaper in January quoted Webster as saying his dis­missal by Interior and his disbarment in Palau were politically motivated and violated his civil rights.

He has a civil lawsuit pending againstlnterior, anOTIAspokesman inWashingtonsaid-Thelawsuitseeks reinstatement to an Interior job and back wages, the spokesman said.

China reports serious environmental damage caused by coal miningBEUING (AP) - China’s top en­vironmental body is recommend­ing drastic action to stop damage caused by illegal coal mining in northern China, the official China Daily newspaper reported Wednesday.

The Environmental Protection Committee of theNational People’s Congress has advised that an “en­vironmental police force” be cre­

ated to crack down on people who over-mine the region straddling Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces and Inner Mongolia, the report said.

The 46,000-square kilometer (18,400-square mile) area, known as China’s “black triangle” for its wealth of coal, has about one third of China’s coal deposits.

China daily quoted the agency as saying prospectors were illegally

exploiting the region, but the report provided little information about the extent of the damage.

The newspaper said bands of miners had caused serious damage to the ecosystem along the the Wulanmulun river, which runs through Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, by changing its course while digging for mineral deposits along the river bed.

convicted of corruption last month and sentenced to at least 18 years in prison. The charges were not linked to the Swiss accounts.

The commission has reported recovering some $450 million in cash and assets from Marcos and his close associates.

The government paid foreign lawyers 122.08 million pesos ($4.2 million) between 1986 and 1993, Chavez said.

The commission will spend dlrs 540,000 next year on fees for for­eign lawyers, one-third of the amount going to Swiss lawyers, House Budget Committee Chair­man Rolando Andaya said.

The amount is about 18.2 per­cent of the commission’s 1994 budget. Chavez said the threehighest paid lawyers were from Switzerland, and have been paid SI.09 million since 1986. Two of them, Sergio Salvioni and Guy Fontanet, were members of Swiss Parliament.

Andaya said other Swiss lawyers were being considered to replace Salvioni and Fontanet.

In 1987, Salvioni told reporters in Manila he informed Mrs. Aquino that her gpvemment would have to file crimihal charges against Marcos in connection with his alleged wealth and then win a conviction.

That would have required her to allow Marcos to return to the Philip­pines from exile in Hawaii to stand trial. She refused, and Marcos died in Honolulu in 1989.

Guerrero lauds F ilipino worker's role in econom yBy Rafael H. Arroyo

IF ALL outside laborers were to go home tomorrow, the CNMI economy would return to a,post­war level, back to a coconut, co­pra and scrap metal economy.

These were the words Gover­nor Larry I. Guerrero used to un­derscore the importance of guest workers, specifically from the Philippines, as he spoke before the Saipan Fil-American Lirais Club Sunday at the Hyatt Re­gency Hotel.

“If we lose our non-resident workers, gone will be the eco­nomic development that has made the CNMI the star of the insular area constellation,” said Guerrero in his speech.

“Gone will our sophisticated economy be . Hotels and facto­ries will close. Gone will be an $88 million-a-year hotel industry and a $204 million-a-year gar­ment industry. And $32 million in annual revenues will pass away,” he added.

Guerrero used the occasion to honor the working men and women of the Filipino commu­nity , with whom he said the CNMI shares a lot of things in common.

According to the governor,

Filipinos and people of the Marianas share more than Span­ish history, they share bloodlines and family names.

He added that it was Magellan’s great exploration in the 16th cen­tury that revealed both the Philip­pines and the Marianas to the western world.

“We are bound by some very strong historical ties. History has put us on the same trail, down the long road together. Qur blood is mixed. We have shared the hard­ships of a colonial past. We have known what it is to lose internal self-government and we have felt the pride of having regained local government. Today, we look to a peaceful and prosperous future,” said the governor.

But aside from historical ties, Guerrero noted that Filipinos played a great role in the making of a strong and prosperous economy for the NMI.

He said this economic miracle was not achieved by the CNMI by itself. Much of the hard work nec- essary to create the CNMI economy has come from outside workers, majority of which are from the Philippines.

Although many people see a large number of outside workers

as a threat and a problem, he said he sees workers from the Philip­pines as supporters and as part of the solution to the economic chal­lenges ahead.

“They are part of our economic solution, not part of our economic problem. The fact is our economy would not have been able to grow and become strong without them,” said Guerrero.

The chief executive added that the economy is highly reliant on outside workers to the tune of around 26,000 to sustain the economy - hotels, factories and other businesses. He sadly notes that only about5,000local people can be placed in the current workforce, or 18% of the needed workers.

He admitted that such reliance on a large non-resident worker population, naturally caused problems which he vowed to cor­rect and find solutions to.

Specifically, Guerrero men­tioned the following steps of ac­tion as he assured the Filipino community that current problems will be resolved:

•see proper enforcement of all labor laws to make sure any prob­lems are corrected;

•ask churches to lead a moral

Man pleads guilty to drug chargesTHE SUPERIOR Court the other day found one of seven persons arrested last July in connection with an alleged drug conspiracy ring, guilty of aiding and abetting and posession of a controlled sub­stance.

In a judgment of conviction penned Tuesday by Superior Court Presiding Judge Alexandra C. Castro, Jennifer Parani was found in violation of 6 CMC, sec­tion 2142(a) after he entered a plea of “no contest” to the charge levelled against him by govern­ment prosecutors.

Parani was arrested July 28,

days after six other men, all Fili­pino nationals fell in a buy-bust operation conducted at suspected drug lairs on the island.

According to court records, the arrests were made after police ob­tained on July 26 a warrant for surveillance and recording of a drug transaction between a gov­ernment informant and Parani.

Parani allegedly told the infor­mant where he could buy crystal methampethamine or “ice.

The informant then went on to complete the alleged drug transac­tion at the Susupe home of one of the accused, where he was able to

buy five packets of ice using $3,000 in marked money.

Parani’s case was supposed to have been scheduled for a jury trial Tuesday, but after being ad­vised of his constitutional rights, the defendant, through counsel Douglas Cushnie decided to enter the “no contest” plea.

There being a basis of the plea, the court found Parani “guilty’ of the offense of aiding and abetting, possession of a controlled sub­stance in violation of local drug statutes.

His sentencing was scheduled for November 30,1993.

Seoul considers sending combat troops to SomaliaS E O U L , South K orea (A P ) -South Korea is considering send­ing combat troops to Somalia at the request of the United States, Seoul newspapers reported Wednesday.

In a personal letter to South Korean President Kim Young- sam on Friday, U.S. President Clinton asked the Seoul govern­ment to send more troops to help U.N. peacekeeping operations in Somalia.

Clinton did not specify combat troops in the letter but Seoul offi­cials think the United States wants combat troops from South Korea to augment American combat troops in Somalia, the newspa­pers said.

South Koreacurrently has about 250 army engineers working on road construction and other non­combat operations as part of the U.N. peacekeeping operations.

The influential Dong-A Ilbo and other vernacular newspapers, quoting unnamed government

sources, said South Korea feels obliged to accept Clinton’s re­quest for more troops.

“When the United States wants more troops, it’s obvious that they want combat troops, not more engineers or medical teams,” Dong-A said.

“Because of ongoing interna­tional cooperation on the issue of North Korea’s nuclear develop­ment, we have to accept the American request for more

troops,” the paper quoted its source as saying.

The South Korean newspapers said Clinton and Kim are expected to discus the issue when they meet during a conference of the Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Seattle in November.

South Korea sent combat troops to fight along with the United States in the Vietnam War. About 5,000 South Korean soldiers were killed in that war.

Clinton rightfully inspired by the words of JFK

By Jack Anderson and Michael Binstein

WASHINGTON—At our request, 31 years ago, President John F. Kennedy penned “to an unknown youth somewhere in America” some advice on how to prepare and handle the Presidency.

We recently came across his response and it sent chills down our spine, considering it was written at the very time when he was a hero to a young high- schooler named Bill Clinton.

One of the most enduring images of the Clinton campaign was the picture of the young Clinton at the White House, shaking hands with his idol, President Kennedy. It was considered the coup of the campaign when a campaign worker found it at the JFK library in Boston.

Since then it’s been clear that Clinton, in his words and his deeds, wants to emulate the vision and characteristics of Kennedy. That’s what makes Kennedy’s response, which was published in Parade magazine on Sept. 23,1962, so moving. Kennedy responded to this question:

“Somewhere in our land today there is a high school or college student who will one day be sitting in your chair. If you could now speak to this future president, what advice and guidance would you give him or her?”

President Kennedy began: “The first lesson of the Presidency is that it is impossible to foretell the precise nature of the problems that will confront you or the specific skills and capacities which those problems will demand.”

He pointed out that “there is no program of vocational training for the Presidency; no specific area of knowledge that is peculiarly relevant.” Presidents have included great scholars like Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson, the president of Princeton University he noted. But nine of the presidents, “among them some of the most brilliant in office, did not attend college.”

President Kennedy advised youngsters like Clinton that presidents have crane from all walks of life, and “have been drawn from the wealthiest and most distinguished families of the nation, and have come from poor and anonymous beginnings.” (Clinton was a poorchild, raised by his mother after he stood up to their abusive father, who left the home.)

JFK felt he could not counsel “you about what subjects to study or what vocation to follow. But whatever you do, you would be well advised to practice stem discipline and vigorous, unremitting effort.’’ Kennedy did offer some concrete pointers.

First, Kennedy advised, “it will help you to know the country you seek to lead. It was rate of the great strengths of a President such as Theodore Roosevelt that he knew and loved the diverse magnificence of our fields and mountain ranges, deserts and great rivers our abundant farmlands and the thousand voices of our cities.”

Second, Kennedy tutored it’s vital fra a presidential aspirant to “have a deep sense of history. For of all the disciplines, the study of the folly and achievements of man is best calculated to help develop the critical sense of what is permanent and meaningful amid the mass of superficial and transient events and decisions which engulf the Presidency.”

Third, he continued, and “most important of all, and most difficult to consciously pursue, is an understanding of the people you will lead.” The last paragraph of Kennedy’s letter demonstrates the ennobling qualities that inspired the nation:

“No one can guarantee that if you follow this or any other advice you will become a great President. For the Presidency is peculiarly an office which is shaped by the individual who holds it. And greatness depends on the times as well as the man. But if you work toward your goal, practice discipline and unremitting effort... then, if some chance keeps you from the Presidency, you will still know that you are prepared to serve well your nation as a citizen.”

Tragically, a year later, President Kennedy was assassinated. But not before he had inspired young Bill Clinton and countless others to serve their country to the best of their ability—which has been JFK’s greatest legacy.

AND THIS ONE'S RR T4KINS EARLY

RETIREMENT

Potentially lethal household productsRiddle: What comes in bright colors, smells good and often taste great, is packaged in large (poten­tially lethal) quantities, is widely advertised on television as desir­able, is observed by children to frequently be used or ingested by parents, and has killed at least 43 children under the age of six since 1986?

Answer: Mouthwashes and iron pills.

These products, found in many households, are particularly in­sidious and .dangerous because they are so attractive to children and because parents are, for the most part, not aware of their po­tential fra killing children. Al­though commonly perceived as harmless household products, mouthwashes containing high ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and iron- containing dietary supplements and drugs or adult preparations of iron pills or multi-vitamins con­taining iron, have been recognized as presenting a grave hazard to young children.

The American Association of Poison control Centers (AAPCC) received over 10,000 reports of children nationwide under age six swallowing mouthwash contain­ing alcohol in a recent five-year period. Children who swallow mouthwash are at risk of suffer­ing seizures, brain damage, coma and death.

The dangers presented to young children by mouthwash contain­ing ethanol is not merely theoreti - cal. At least three incidents re­sulted in death. Three deaths of young children, a four year old boy in 1984, another four year old in 1987, and a three year old in 1992, were caused by ingestion of mouthwash containing etha­nol. A young child can be killed by drinking as little as 5 ounces of mouthwash that contains ethanol.

Mouthwashes are particularly attractive to children because of their sweet smell, bright colors and in some instances, great taste; many are artificially sweetened. In addition, advertisements often

tout the mouthwash’s flavor e.g. yum flavor, fun flavor, soft mint flavor, some mouthwashes taste so good that children have been reported as having swallowed as much as 24 ounces. Again, inges­tion of between five and nine ounces of popular-brand mouth­washes containing ethanol may be enough to cause death in a small child. As little as one ounce may result in serious effects to a child.

Most people are unaware of the present or amount of ethanol - a toxic component of mouthwash that can cause grave damage - in some mouthwashes regarded by most people as harmless house­hold products, often kept on bath­room counters with easy reach of children. Some commonwealth used or leading brands of mouth­wash contain high alcohol (etha­nol) levels ranging between 14 and 27 percent, as compare to beer which typically contain 5-7 percent, and wine typically con­tains 12-14 percent ethanol.

Ethanol is a central nervous system depressant. At high doses of ethanol, lethargy, coma and death can occur. Because of mouthwashes’ sweet smell and taste, lethal doses are easy for a child to drink. Additionally, mouthwash is available in a vari­ety of large sizes, including 32 ounce and 40 ounce bottles.

Even more fatal to children than mouthwash is iron-containing di­etary supplement and drugs. Iron supplements pills or other oral preparations containing, iron ei­ther alone or in combination with multi-vitamins, are the leading cause of pediatric poisoning deaths reported to poison control centers in the United States. Also commonly perceived as harmless, iron supplements present a seri­ous risk to young children who ingest them. Children who swal­low these iron pills are at risk of scarring and obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, shock, coma, cardiovascular collapse and death.

Since 1986, at least 40 children under the age'of six have died as a result of ingesting adult prepa­rations of iron pills or multi-vita­mins containing iron frequently in the form of prenatal vitamins, some of the deaths have resulted from ingestion of as few as five or six tablets. In addition, from 1986 through 1991, there have been almost 40,000 reports to poison control centers of ingestion of adult preparations of iron by chil­dren under six years of age and an additional 55,320 more reports regarding ingestion of pediatric iron preparations.

Uiilike the mouthwash contain­ers, many of the iron-containing drugs and dietary supplements are required, under the Poison Pre­vention Pack?ging Act regula­tions, to have child-resistant clo­sures. Unfortunately, in many of the cases the child-resistant bottles were left opened or were only loosely closed, allowing children easy access to the pills.

Similar to the attractive colors and tastes of mouthwashes, iron- containing tablets are typically brightly colored pills (often red or green) and have a sweet outer- coating making them look like candy; they are therefore particu­larly attractive to toddlers and young children.

Yeltsin, ending Japan visit, hails improved tiesBy LAURA KING

T O K Y O (A P ) - Russian President Boris Yeltsin, wrapping up a first- ever suue visit to Japan, on Wednes­day hailed progress in improving relations strained by a territorial dispute dating back to World Warn.

“I am quite satisfied with my visit to Japan. It was extremely successful,” Yeltsin said at a joint news conference with Prime Min­ister Morihiro Hosokawa.

“This is a new page in Russo- Japanese relations,” Hosokawa told repealers.

During his visit, Yeltsin prom­ised to uphold all commitments to Japan made by the former Soviet Union, including a 1956 agreement to return two of the northern Kuril islands, once a formal peace treaty is signed.

Because of the territorial dis­pute, Russia and Japan have never formally signed an agreement end­ing wartime hostilities, and the lack of normalized ties has blocked large-scale Japanese aid.

“Our mutual goal is to sign the peace treaty,” Yeltsin said at the news conference.

The Russian leader’s trip came only a week after the bloody crush­ing of a rebellion by hard-liners, and Yeltsin defended his government’s actions.

“We were obliged to use force to avoid terrible bloodshed, to avoid losing millions of lives,” he said. “It was a painful decision for us. But when we had to use force, the Russian people understood.”

Hosokawa reaffirmed Japan’s backing of democratic reform in Russia and pledged to help support the transition to a market economy.

Some observers considered Yeltsin’s trip to be shrewdly timed, because Japanese officials would not want to make his position more precarious by insisting on major concessions in the territorial dis­pute.

Russian nationalists strongly oppose the return of the islands, seized by Soviet troops just after World War II. Yeltsin, apparently seeking to avoid inflaming hard-

House approves lifting of restrictions on PLO

By JIM ABRAM S

W A S H IN G T O N (A P ) - The House of Representatives agreed Tuesday to a bill that lifts restric­tions on aid to the Palestine Lib­eration Organization and opens the way for the PLO to set up an office in Washington.

The voice-vote approval came a day after PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat won endorsement from the organization’s policy-making council for the peace accord with Israel signed in Washington on Sept. 13.

The Senate has already passed a similar measure, and Senate and House delegations are expected to meet this week to work out differences.

The Middle East Peace Facili­tation Act authorizes President Clinton to waive legal provisions that prohibit the PLO from oper­ating offices in the United States or receiving U.S. funds through international organizations.

The administration has pledged tocontribute dlrs 250 million over the next two years as pan of an international effort to promote development in the new Palestin­ian self-government areas in the West Bank and Gaza, now occu­pied by Israel.

The bill sets a Jan. 1 expiration date for the presidential waiver, and requires that new legislation be in effect by then if the waiver is to continue. Lawmakers set the deadline as a means of ensuring that the PLO is living up to its commitment to recognize Israel’s peace and security and renounce violence.

Rep. Howard Berman, D-Ca- lif., said quick passage was cru­cial because “it is critically im­portant that Palestinians begin to see concrete improvements in their economic well-being and

quality of life.”He noted that the House For­

eign Affairs Committee had ap­proved an amendment to the Sen­ate version “that alerts the PLO of Congress’ expectation that prior to any further waiver of this kind being approved the PLO will ac­tively work for an end to the Arab boycott of Israel.”

Rep. Charles Schumer, D-N. Y., said PLO silence on the economic boycott was one reason he op­posed the bill.

“It strikes me as extremely anomalous that at the very same time that we are lifting restric­tions in preparations of sending aid to the PLO, we do not hear a peep about ending the economic boycott not only of Israel but of any American firm that does busi­ness with Israel,” he said.

The House also approved most- favored-nation trade status for Romania on Tuesday, endorsing a July 2 decision by Clinton to give Romania access to the lower tariffs enjoyed by almost all other U.S. trading partners.

Current law prohibits commu­nist countries from receiving pref­erential trade status unless the president proposes a waiver. Last year, the House rejected a trade agreement with Romania follow­ing the election of President Ion Iliescu, a former high-ranking Communist Parly official, and reports of human rights violations in the country.

Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-I1I., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the Bucharest government has im­proved its human rights record in the past year and “the new leaders of Romania deserve any leg up the United States can provide them in the long climb back to the com­munity of democratic free-mar- ket societies.”

liners at home, referred to the dis­pute mainly in indirect terms.

“It is my opinion as a politician and as a human being that we must develop relations and bring our peoples closer psychologically be­fore we can solve this problem,” he said.

When pressed further on the is-

sue, he toldreporters gmffly: “Let’s have no more questions about the northern territories. Enough! There are other issues to be discussed.”

No major new aid was an­nounced, although the two sides pledged to increase cooperation in trade and economics. Japan has indicated that substantial assistance

HERE are key points of the two main agreements and 16 other documents signed in Tokyo Wednesday during the visit of Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

POLITICAL STATEMENT: The Tokyo Declaration on Japan- Russia Relations endorses democratic reforms in Russia and affirms that Russia will uphold all Soviet treaties with Japan. This last point was taken as an indirect endorsement of a 1956 accord on the phased return of four disputed islands, a major irritant in relations.

ECONOMIC STATEMENT: The two nations agreed to advance economic cooperation in 11 fields, including energy and nuclear power safety. Japan afso agreed to support Russia’s application for membership to international organizations like the General Agree­ment on Tariffs and Trade.

Sixteen other documents on expanding cooperation were signed by Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev and his Japanese counter­part, Tsutomu Hata. They include agreements to:

-Implement more quickly the $4.6 billion in aid and loans Japan has pledged to Russia and the other former Soviet republics, including funds earmarked for dismantling nuclear weapons

-Expand cultural exchanges and travel by tourists and journalists -Cooperate in space exploration.

will follow normalization of ties.Yeltsin was clearly sensitive

about the subject. He snapped an­grily at ajoumalist who asked about reports he had sought S50 billion in new aid from Japan. “I have never said such a thing,” he said.

Despite such displays of temper with reporters, Yeltsin took a con­ciliatory approach during the visit. In one important symbolic gesture, he “apologized for Soviet abuse of Japanese prisoners from World War II.

A fte r the w ar, the S o v ie ts d e ­ta in e d so m e 6 0 0 ,0 0 0 Ja p an e se so l­d ie rs fo r y ea rs o f fo rc ed lab o r in Siberia, and surviving POWs had long awaited an expression of Rus­sian remorse. Japanese officials warmly welcomed the apology.

The trip itself represented a ma­jor thaw. Yeltsin had irritated the Japanese by twicecanceling sched­uled visits.

Yeltsin’s state visit was only the second by a Russian leader since the war. Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev visited in 1991.

The burly, blunt-hewn Yeltsin was a sharp contrast to the soft- spoken, aristocratic Hosokawa. At a ceremonial banquet Tuesday night with Emperor Akihito, Yeltsin startled onlookers by ca­sually clinking glasses with the monarch during a toast.

Dialogue with China will continue on Human Rights

By KATHY W ILHELM

BEUING (AP) - A US human rights envoy concluded two days of calks with Chinese officials on Tuesday without any indication the two sides have narrowed their differences on this perennial point of contention.

“We’ve certainly indicated to them that progress is needed,”

John Shattuck, assistant secretary of state for human rights and hu­manitarian affairs, told a news conference at the U.S. Embassy.

President Clinton has said the renewal of China’s low-tariff trade status, calledmost-favored-nation status, will be linked next year to its human rights performance. The administration must give a six- month progress report to Con-

gress within the next few weeks, although the decision to renew or cancel China’s MFN status need not be made until next June.

Shattuck said he explained the administration’s requirements in detail in his meetings, but he re­fused to describe the Chinese re­action other than to say they were “attentive.”

He met with Vice Foreign Min­ister Liu Huaqiu and officials from the police, judiciary, family plan­ning, religious affairs and minor­ity affairs departments.

Shattuck said they showed an interest in further discussions and that he expected more high-level talks over the coming months. No dates or places have been decided, he said.

Although he did not claim any concrete progress, Shattuck said his meetings were important be­cause they marked the resump­tion of a formal human rights dia­logue that Beijing halted nearly two years ago.

“I am hopeful that this is the beginning of an extensive and in­tensive bilateral human rights dis­cussion which will be wide-rang­ing, productive and candid,” he said.

The two sides have clashed over discrete issues such as trade, arms sales and nuclear testing, but the overall tension in the relationship for the past four years - ever since China’s army crushed the Tiananmen Square democracy movement - has sprung from their conflicting views of human rights and Chinese suspicion that Wash­ington seeks to undermine Com­munist Party rule.

China recently has taken both positive and negatives steps from the U.S. point of view. It released two political prisoners several months before their terms were to have ended, including China’s longest-held dissident, Wei Jingsheng.

NEW YORK (AP) - Did Winona Ryder forget her address?The actress is being sued for $93,600 for allegedly backing out of a

lease on an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. John and Anne Janus said in court papers that she signed a two-year lease Dec. 31 for the duplex at $3,900 a month.

Their lawyer, Charles Sloane, said Ryder gavp the Januses a check for $7,800 for a month’s rent and a month’s security deposit, then stopped paying.

It was unclear whether Ryder ever lived in the apartment. Her public relations people didn’t return calls for comment.

Ryder, 21, has appeared in the movies “Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and recently “The Age of Innocence.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Don Henley’s at it again, raising money to save Walden Pond - the old haunts in Massachusetts of writer Henry David Thoreau.

A variety of country music stars got together to record “Common Thread,” a collection of songs made famous by the Eagles.

“Everybody flipped out,” said James Stroud, Nashville president of Giant Records. “They wanted to be a part of it.”

Vince Gill sings “I Can’tTell You Why,” Diamond Rio sings “Lyin’ Eyes” and Clint Black does “Desperado.”

Travis Tritt, Little Texas, John Anderson, Alan Jackson, Suzy Bogguss, Trisha Yearwood, Billy Dean, Tanya Tucker, Brooks and Dunn, and Lorrie Morgan also sang.

The Eagles, including Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh, broke up after releasing their last studio album, 1979’s “The Long Run.”

A portion of the album’s royalties will go to Henley’s Walden Woods project which is attempting to acquire and preserve 68.5 acres (27.4 hectares) in Walden Woods.

Walden Pond, in eastern Massachusetts, was the site of a cabin idealized in the back-to-nature writings of Thoreau, who died in 1862.

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - “The Greatest” wasn’t.Muhammad Ali is supporting a friend’s effort to make another movie

about his life. A 1976 attempt “didn’t really show my life, just boxing and my girlfriends,” said Ali, who starred in “The Greatest.”

“It wasn’t done right,” the former heavyweight boxing champion said.

Paul Ardaji, a friend of Ali’s who lives in Greenwich, said he will try to make a film that will spotlight Ali’s cultural impact in and out of the boxing ring.

“This is going to be a worldwide event,” said Ardaji, chief executive officer of MEAMCO, an advertising agency in New York. “It will be an epic movie with a $40 million budget.”

Ardaji said he’s still looking for a director, screenwriter and co­producer.

REGENSBURG, Germany (AP) - Hundreds of people crowded into a 500-room castle Tuesday for an auction of royal heirlooms to help pay the inheritance taxes of a 10-year-old prince.

Princess Gloria, the 33-year-old mistress of the house of Thum and Taxis, hopes to raise 14 million marks ($8.6 million) by selling 3,500 lots of art, jewelry, furniture, silver and 75,000 bottles of wine.

Gloria, whom Andy Warhol described as “the fairy tale princess,” was photographed in Stem magazine last week in a paisley suit astride a fire engine-red Harley-Davidson motorcycle trimmed in leather.

She is the mother and trustee of 10-year-old Prince Albert, the heir of Prince Johannes von Thum und Taxis, who died in December 1990.

Although little Albert is said to be worth more than S2 billion, cash is a problem.

The Thum and Taxis, who founded the postal system for the Holy Roman Empire five centuries ago, own forests, lots of castles, and a brewery, but most of their capital isn’t liquid.

In June, the Bavarian state government announced it had accepted art, jewelry, silver and other items valued at 44 million marks ($27.5 million) in lieu of part of the inheritance tax due after Prince Johannes’ death.

The auction at St. Emmeram castle, said to be the biggest inhabited castle in Europe, brought in 52,000 marks ($32,500) within the first 30 minutes with the sale of several Bohemian chests of drawers.

The auction continues through Oct. 21.

ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland (AP) - A 75-year-old woman who completed an international bicycle trek Tuesday to promote a healthier lifestyle had some advice for students on hand to greet her.

“Don’t eat too much junk food,” said Charlotte Hamlin, a native of Kelowna, British Columbia, who now lives in St. Joseph’s, Mich.

Hamlin, a former nurse and teacher, has pedalled more than 17,700 kilometers (10,975 miles) in stagessince 1987 on four continents.

The final leg of her odyssey - a three-month trek across Canada - ended in St. John’s, where students and jeachers from a local school greeted her.

Hamlin, who says she doesn’t suffer from as much as a headache, decided in 1987 to show what a healthy lifestyle can do for an older person.

She took 67 days to trek across the United States and followed that with a 32-day trip from Belgium to southern Italy.

B u s in e s s /F in a n c e H f^ tj*;·'US agency says im ports may hurt photo paper industry

Exports, liberalization promotes rapid growth in Asia-ADB

By CARL HARTMAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - Paper for color photos imported from Japan and Holland may hurt the American industry because it is being sold here at less than its fair value, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled Tuesday.

The commission, appointed by the president, voted ¿-0 to con­tinue an investigation. The case, which also involves some photo chemicals, was filed by Eastman Kodak Co., of Rochester, N. Y.

As a result of the vote, the U.S. Department of Commerce will determine “dumping margins” - the difference between the price of the imported goods here and what it decides to be “fair value.”

That value is related to the price at which the paper is sold in the

country of origin. Shipments sold at less than that value are said to be “dumped.”

Preliminary results from the Department of Commerce are due in February. U.S. customs au­thorities would then be instructed to collect an amount equal to the dumping margins on all shipments of the products from Japan and Netherlands, and to hold the money pending a Final ruling. In many cases, such collections ef­fectively stop the imports.

Then it will be up to the ITC to make a final ruling on whether the U.S. industry has actually been hurt or threatened. If it finds that to be the case, the “dumping mar­gins” are collected as an addi­tional customs duty on later im­ports.

Dollar mostly lower; gold surgesNEW YORK (AP) - The dollar settled mostly lower on world currency markets Tuesday in un­eventful dealings.

Gold prices were mixed pver- seas then surged in domestic trad­ing. On the New York Commod­ity Exchange, gold bullion for current delivery jumped S7.60 a troy ounce to settle at $367.80. Republic National Bank quoted a late bid for gold of $366.50, up $6.50 an ounce from Monday’s late bid.

Technical factors and big pur­chases by commodity funds helped drive the precious metal higher, analysts said.

In currency markets, attention was focused on the German mark after Germany’s constitutional court gave its approval to the Maastricht Treaty, the framework for Europe’s political and eco­nomic union.

With the court ruling, Germany becomes the final European coun­try to approve the treaty, which calls for approving a single cur­rency by 1999.

“In recent days there was con­cern that it would be a negative vote, and people started buying marks,” said Marc Chandler, an analyst with the advisory firm IDEA.

But when the vote was an­nounced, traders took profits in the mark, briefly driving the cur­rency lower. Shortly thereafter, the German currency resumed its upward path.

Analysis said traders remained disappointed with the U.S. non­farm payroll numbers that were released Friday. Kevin Lawrie, a vice president with Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, said traders were awaiting fresh economic data, particularly the merchandise trade report due to be released on Fri­day.

In Tokyo, the dollar closed at 105.79 yen, up 0.54 yen from Friday’s close. Japanese markets were closed Monday for a na­tional holiday. Later in London, the dollar was quoted at 105.95 yen. In New York the dollar set­tled at 106.00 yen, down from 106.19.

In London, the British pound rose to $1.5320 from $1.5305 late Monday. In New York it cost $1.5330 to buy one pound, less expensive than Monday’s SI.5335.

Other late dollar rates in New York, compared with late Monday’s rates included: 1.5940 German m arks, down from 1.6041; 1.3985 Swiss francs, down from 1.4080; 5.6005 French francs, down from 5.6330; 1,572.30 Italian lire, down from 1,585.00, and 1.3295 Canadian dollars, down from 1.3300.

Other late dollar rates in Eu­rope, compared with late Monday’s rates included: 1.5968 German marks, down from 1.6043; 1.4005 Swiss francs, downfrom 1.4085; 5.6065 French francs, down from 5.6360; 1.7955 Dutch guilders, down from 1.8040; 1,576.00 Italian lire, down from 1,585.00; 1.3309 Canadian dollars, down from 1.3310.

Gold rose in. London to a late bid price of $361.75 a troy ounce from $360.50 bid late Monday. In Zurich, the metal rose to a closing bid of $361.25 from $360.25. Ear­lier in Hong Kong, gold fell 65 cents to close at a bid of $360.33.

Silver prices rose worldwide. On New York’s Comex, silver bullion for current delivery settled at $4,421 a troy ounce, up from $4,310 on Monday. In London the metal rose to a late bid price of $4.35 from $4.32.

vice-president and general man­ager, U.S. and Canada Region, said he was pleased by the ITC decision.

“We believe that this is an im­portant issue of free and open access to worldwide competi­tion,” he said in a statement.

“Our Japanese competitors par­ticipate in a home market that is insulated from world market color paper prices. Consequently, the prices in Japan approach four times those for the same products in the U.S. This results in mo­nopoly-like profits that enable them to dump products in the U.S. market. This is the root cause of the action we are taking.”

The ITC said two U.S. compa­nies make the paper in New York, North Carolina, Colorado and Tennessee. It said it withheld fur­ther information on the size of the industry or the imports to avoid disclosing confidential business information.

MANILA (AP) - Strong exports and liberalization have led to the rapid growth of Asia’s most pros­perous countries, the president of the Asian Development Bank said Wednesday.

ADB President Kimimasa Tarumizu said exports by devel­oping countries in Asia-Pacific began to expand after they opened themselves to investments from their industrialized neighbors that were facing rising labor costs.

These countries also diversi­fied their exports from primary commodities to non-traditional manufactured goods and also im­proved their quality.

“Today’s ivestmerit is tomorrow’s trade,” Tarumizu said at a meeting on trade and eco­nomic development in the region.

“The links between direct in­vestment and international trade are strong,” he said. “Both are market responses to opportuni­ties by differences in production capabilities among countries.”

He said that in the 1970s, ex­ports by developing nations in the region grew at an annual rate of

26 percent in value compared with 21 percent for other countries in the world; in the 1980s, the rate was 11 percent against 6 percent for the rest of the world.

The most rapid growth was in the newly industrializing econo­mies - Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea. Their share of world trade increased from 2.2. percent in 1970 to 9 percent in 1992.

China and Southeast Asia, also showing robust economies, in­creased their share of the global trade pie from 0.6 percent and 1.6 percent to 2.2 and 3.3 percent, respectively, during the same pe­riod.

Tarumizu said trade between countries in the region also rose sharply by the latter half of the 1980s as they acquired from each other the products they had previ­ously imported from the West.

B u sin ess/F in a n ce -ssS S H sAsian markets generally gain; new high in Hong KongHONG KONG (AP) - Asian mar­kets generally gained Tuesday, with Hong Kong’s main share index closing at a record high despite political unease and profit- taking.

The Hang Seng Index of blue chips rose 61.27 points, or 0.7 percent, to 8,253.45. With Tuesday’s rise, the index has gained 801.36 points in the past nine sessions, an 11 percent rise.

Dealers said the index surged more than 110 points early in the day, but retreated when a 13th round of talks in Beijing con­cluded with little sign that Britain and China had resolved their dis­pute over Hong Kong’s political future.

Britain and China have been at loggerheads for a year over Gov. Chris Patten’s proposals to re­form Hong Kong’s political sys­tem before the British colony re­verts to China in 1997.

In Tokyo, share prices tumbled as investors sold issues not in­cluded in the newly announced Nikkei Stock Index 300.

Tokyo’s 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average fell 241.33 points, or 1.18 percent, closing at 20,137.31. The Tokyo Stock Price Index of all issues listed on the first section was down 4.14 points, or 0.25 percent, to 1,652.26.

One trader said arbitrage trad­ers sold small-capitalization shares that appear on the Nikkei

225, but not on the Nikkei 300, and therefore areno longerneeded in their portfolios.

“There is speculation that the Nikkei 300 will become a more influential index than the Nikkei 225,” he said.

The U.S. dollar rose 0.54 Japa­nese yen to 105.79 yen.

Elsewhere in Asia:SYDNEY: Profit-taking and the

absence of overseas buying halted a two-week rally. The All-Ordi­naries index of share prices closed at 2,028.0, down 11.8 points.

SEOUL: Prices surged most of the day, but closed with marginal gains on caution over this week’s strength. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index rose 1.48 points

to 723.57.MANILA: Shares leaped 3.3

percent into record territory for the second straight day in brisk trading. The Manila composite index of 30 selected issues soared 67.30 points to 2,093.83.

TAIPEI: Shares surged in heavy trading amid optimism that the parliament’s Finance Committee would cut the securities transac­tion tax. The Taiwan Stock Ex­change Weighted Index rose 56.59 points to 3,942.25.

•BANGKOK: The Stock Ex­change of Thailand index slipped 21.78 points to 1,101.96.

KUALA LUMPUR: Shares closed mixed in heavy trading after heavy afternoon profit-tak­

ing cut into early gains. The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Com­posite Index rose 10.56 points, or 1.2 percent, to 905.71. WELLINGTON: Shares finished 1.5 percent stronger in heavy trad­ing. The NZSE-40 Capital Index gained 29.69 points to 2,039.78.

SINGAPORE: Late falls in M alaysian over-the-counter shares knocked the market off intraday highs, but the key index still closed at another new high. The 30-stock Straits Times Industrials Index rose 4.90 points to 2,051.47.

Estimated com production drops 4 percent A D B grants $36 m illion loan to M ongolia

By RO B ER T GREENE

WASHINGTON ( AP) - The Ag­riculture Department on Tuesday estimated this year’s com harvest at 6.96 billion bushels, the lowest in a decade outside the drought years 1983 and 1988.

Tuesday’s estimate, down 4per- cent from last month’s and 27 per­cent below the 1992 record, re­flected the ongoing impact of sum­mer flooding in the Midwest and drought in the Southeast.

Growers harvested 9.48 billion bushels of com in 1992. The de­partment, in its initial 1993 fore­cast on Aug. 11, put this fall’s harvest at 7.42 billion bushels. It was the first estimate based on the summer’sharshandvaried weather.

The forecast was lowered on Sept. 9 to 7.23 billion bushels.

Based on Oct. 1 surveys, the average com yield nationally was estimated at 110.3 bushels per acre harvested, compared with the record 131.4 last year and 113.1 indicated last month.

“Yields are down as a result of a late-maturing crop dying prema­turely, insects and an Ohio drought,” USDA said. Rains and then flooding in the Midwest de­layed planting, exposing immature plants to frost.

Also, the number of acres har­vested dropped to 63.1 million acres, down from 63.9 million the previous month and 13 percent below last year. Much of the 800,000-acre drop occurred as growers plowed up or destroyed late-maturing com in order to qualify for government programs aimed at cutting losses.

“There should be some positive reaction in the market· for those who do have a crop,” said Larry Rus, executive director of the Na­tional Com Growers Association. “It won ’ t make up for the folks who have lost everything or have a re­duced yield.”

Soybean production was esti­mated at 1.89 billion bushels, down 14 percent from last year’s harvest of 2.20 billion bushels, which was the second highest on record. The October estimate is also down 1 percent from the Sept. 1 forecast

As livestock feed, com is the largest and most important U.S. farm crop and is essential for the production of meat, poultry and dairy products. Soybeans are a vital source oflivestock feed, veg­etable oil and other food prod­ucts.

MANILA (AP) - The Asian De­velopment Bank approved a S36 million loan Tuesday to improve air transport services in land­locked Mongolia.

In the capital, Ulan Bator, which relies heavily on air transporta­tion to move goods and people, the project involves expansion to handle bigger airplanes and reno­vation of the passenger terminal, the bank said.

The loan also will finance new navigation aids, airfield lighting, telecommunications facilities, emergency power supply and

bers right.Fourth prize of S30 goes to those

who predict only four numbers and S10 for the fifth prize winner who gets three correct numbers.

Hycenko said each game card entitles the player to play four, six, eight, ten or twelve games using the same six-number com­bination that he chose.

Four chances costs SI.20; six, SI.80; eight. S2.40; ten, S3.00; and twelve, S3.60.

“Of course the more games you play, the more chances of win­ning,” said Hycenko.

In the event two or more play­ers accurately predicts the six winning numbers in any order, both players would have to split the top price, which averages around S3 million for Saturday drawings.

Jackpots not won on a Saturday will be added on to the next Saturday’s jackpot, and so on, until the money is won.

Additionally, as participants in the Tattslotto games, local play­ers will also be able to participate in special “super draw” games held five times a year.

Prize money for each superdraw could reach an equivalent of up to S10 million per game. A superdraw is tentatively sched­uled for December 4th later this year. Top prize is $10 million.

One notable feature of the game is that the winners get their win­nings in full. Winnings of $5,000 and below are given in cash, while those above that gets a check cash- able at Bank of Guam.

Starting tomorrow, instant scratch-off tickets will be avail­able for sale at 15 carefully se­lected convenience stores and supermarkets strategically located all over the island.

The scratch-off game is played by ticket buyers who will scratch a designated portion of the ticket. One wins if he sees three match­ing amounts on his scratched ticket.

STELLA WILDER

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you have a good head for business, but you aren’t inclined to use it. You prefer the arts to science. Though not intel­lectually inclined, you are quite ca­pable of managing your own af­fairs for fun ana profit. You enjoy working with people, but you enjoy working in front of people even more. Always inspired by an audi­ence to do your best, you are apt to fare considerably less well when having to please no one but your­self.

Interested in the occult, you nevertheless are careful to keep your interest from becoming a rul­ing force in your life. You Believe in what you see and in traditional “truths. You are, however, willing to be “shown”· — so long as your basic principles are untouched.

Also born on th is date are: Ralph Lauren, designer; Roger Moore, actor; Lillian Gish, ac­tress.

CONSERVE POWER & WATER

By HAL BOCK

NEW YORK (AP) - During the 1980s, when he was one of the top doubles players in America, Tom Gullikson always dreamed of playing for the Davis Cup. Now, as the newly-appointed captain of the U.S. team, his job is to sell that same dream - one he never ful­filled - to the new stars of the sport.

Gullikson, chosen Tuesday to succeed Tom Gorman, inherits the recruiting role of convincing top players to set aside individual goals and play for their country. It is not always a simple task.

“Certainly, recruiting is a very important part of the jo b ,” Gullikson said. “That is one as­pect, getting the players to com­mit to playing and creating a good team atmosphere, an atmosphere for each individual player that they feel comfortable with.”

Gullikson starts out with an edge because his brother, Tim, is the coach for Pete Sampras, the Wimbledon andU.S. Open cham­pion and No. 1 player in the world.

Gullikson and J. Howard “Bumpy” Frazer, president of the U.S. Tennis Association, called Sampras, John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, Todd Martin and Mali Vai Washington Monday night to in­form them of the appointment.

“The ones that were available all seemed very excited about the

potential to play and our response has been very good so far. But we haven’t gotten around to actually picking the team yet,” Gullikson said.

“On6 of my goals is to get the best possible team for each tie. And certainly we have a great pool of talent to draw from in the U.S.”

Gorman served as captain of the U.S. team for eight years be­fore resigning last month. Al­though the U.S. won the Cup twice under his stewardship, Gorman’s term was not serene and it was often difficult to get top players to commit. Part of the problem was timing and taking away prepara­tion from Grand Slam events.

Gorman’s team, upset by Aus­tralia in the first round this year, won his last match against the Bahamas in September, putting the U.S. back in the world group for 1994. The draw for the Cup is scheduled for next Tuesday in London.

When Gullikson played, Davis Cup timing was not a problem. McEnroe and Peter Reining, how­ever, were.

“Unfortunately, when we were playing some very good doubles in the early ’80s, there was a very good doubles team called McEnroe and Fleming that an­swered the Davis Cup call every time,” he said. “I blame Reming for that. I am sure John would have liked to take off one doubles

matchhere and there, but Reming enjoyedthe doubles.”

So, although he was an accom­plished doubles player with 15 career titles and ranked as high as No. 9, Gullikson never got to the Davis Cup. That may be why he became emotional at Tuesday’s announcement.

“I was thinking about how I got started in tennis at the age of 5 and as a young boy growing up in

Wisconsin, hitting with Tim, four or five hours a day,” he said. “We always dreamed of possibly playing in the U.S. Open or play­ing for our country in the Davis Cup. We really thought it was just a complete and utter impossibil­ity.”

With his brother, Gullikson reached the doubles finals at Wimbledon in 1983 and the semi­finals at the Australian that same year and the U.S. Open in 1982. His oniy career singles title was at Newport, R.I. in 1985, but he was ranked in the top 7 5 players of the world for eight of nine years from 1977 to 1985.'

Gullikson, who will con­tinue on the USTA Player De­velopment coaching staff, be­comes the 38th U.S. Davis Cup captain. He was selected over Brad Gilbert and Stan Smith., McEnroe, who earlier had ex­pressed interest in the post, withdrew from consideration ea rlie r th is m onth , c iting “presonal reasons.”

Chang beats Van RensburgTOKYO (AP) - Michael Chang turned back a late charge by South African Christo van Rensburg for a 6-3, 6-4 victory Wednesday in the second round of the dlrs 1 million Seiko Super Tennis tour­nament.

Van Rensburg, facing a match point on his own serve at 5-1, cut Chang’s lead to 5-4 before the third-seeded American served out the match in one hour, 36 min­utes.

Chang scored service breaks in the sixth game of the first set and third and fifth games in the sec­ond set.

Asked about his chances of winning this tournament, Chang replied, “A lot of great players have won in the past. I will try to take it match by match and point by point.”

In other second-round matches on the artificial court of Tokyo

Metropolitan Gymnasium, fourth- seeded Andrei Medvedev of Ukraine beat Jacco Eltingh of the Netherlands 7-5, 7-6 (7-5), and Paul Haarhuis of the Netherlands downed 12th-seeded Henrik Holm of Sweden 6-4, 6-4.

Petr Korda of the Czech Repulic, the seventh seed, de­feated Australian qualifier Michael Tebbutt 6-4, 6-4, and eighth-seeded Alexander Volkov of Russia beat American Steve Bryan 6-1, 6-4.

S t e W a r t . . . continued from page 16right to give the Blue Jays a two- run cushion.

Rickey Henderson hit a slow bouncer to third baseman Ventura, who stepped on third for the sec­ond out. Devon White then worked a 3-2 count before grounding out to second.

Ventura walked to open the Chi­cago second. Stewart, 7-0 with a 1.99 ERA in the playoffs and the winner in Game 2 last week, then threw a wild pitch.

But the 36-year-old right-hander, who pitched pennant-clinching vic­tories for Oakland in 1988, 1989 and 1990, worked his way out.

Ellis Burks hit a weak pop to

second for the first out. Warren Newson, inserted as the desig­nated hitter in place of the inef­fective Bo Jackson, then hit a hard one-hopper to second that Roberto Alomar stayed with for the second out. And Lance Johnson bounced out to first to end the threat

The game-time temperature was 46 with a wind from the east at 9 mph, prompting the Sox’ sock- waving fans to arrive in winter attire.

Stewart passed Catfish Hunter for most innings pitched in a play­off. He entered the game with 68 innings to 69 1-3 innings for Hunter.

Poyner has been a competing kick boxer for three years, while Malloy has only sparred in the gym.

Ferguson said the fighters will use protective gear used by women in the Canadian boxing program. There are about 100 women in Canada who box regu­larly in amateur competition, he said.

S P O R T S U ^Problems begin for 2000 Olympic city

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Af­ter three weeks of euphoria, Sydney is beginning to suffer an Olympic hangover. r The International Olympic Committee awarded the 2000 Olympic Games to Sydney on Sept. 23, ahead of favored Beijing. Sydney also beat out Manchester, Berlin and Istanbul.

Now that the celebrations and parades are over, a political row has broken out over the cost of running the Games. There also is fierce infighting for positions on the organizing committee.

Australia will spend more than U.S. $2 billion hosting the Olym­pics - almost double the original estimate submitted to the IOC by the Sydney bid team.

John Fahey, the premier of New South Wales state, has called on the federal government to issue Olympic bonds to raise $330 mil­

lion for building Olympic hous­ing and improving infrastructure around the main Games site at Homebush Bay, 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) west of downtown Sydney.

Fahey has suggested the bonds contain a tax incentive for inves­tors and be repaid in 2001. Prime Minister Paul Keating is consid­ering the idea.

Theexplosion inestimated costs surrounds infrastructure and hous­ing facilities - not the Games fa­cilities themselves.

Fahey, attempting to play down any controversy, points out that $532 million in infrastructure costs at Homebush Bay would

"have been spent whether or not Sydney won the Games.

He further says that a $330 mil­lion Olympic village is expected to be built by private investors and sold off after the games.

Magic Johnson’s All-Stars rout German Club 146-118

By Roy Hammerer

BERLIN <AP) - Complete with cheerleaders and a dancing duck, Magic Johnson and his All-Stars put on an American-style show Tuesday as they routed German club Alba Berlin 146-118.

The All-Stars used a 14-2 run midway through the first quarter to take command of the game, but the lopsided score didn’t spoil the fun for the near-sellout crowd of 6,800.

They did the wave and cheered every fast break, every in-your- face blocked shot and every piece of American razzle-dazzle during the exhibition game.

Even German players who had played in America were caught up in the NBA mystique. Guard Henrik Rodl was a member of North Carolina’s NCAA college championship team last year and played fa - Germany's national team which captured the European championship in July.

But he had never stepped on the same court with Magic.Rodl said it was the biggest event of his sporting career.Johnson, who retired from the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991 after

testing positive for the AIDS virus, is on a world trip to promote NBA basketball with his team of former NBA players. Some of his players are well past their prime - like 42-year-old Bob McAdoo, but Alba was outmatched despite finishing second the past two years in Germany’s top league.

This wasn’t the NBA, but the crowd didn’t care. They wanted to see the acrobatics of the Americans, who play the game in a way few Europeans can approach.

And they were there to see Magic, who didn’t disappoint as he scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The crowd roared every time he whipped one of his trademark passes under the basket to teammates like John Long.

The man with five NBA championships has become a household name in Germany since he quarterbacked the Dream Team to the gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics.

Long, pumping in three-pointers, led all scorers with 28 points. Alba’s Teoman Alibegovic scored 26, while teammate Mario Primorac had 24.

Six minutes into the first quarter, it appeared the German team could surprise everyone by giving the former NBA players a contest. The All-Stars were cold from the field, with the exception of Magic, and led oily 18-17.

But then Magic drove the lane to score, dished off to former Michigan State teammate Greg Kelsery underneath and the rout was on.

State opposition leader Bob Carr, sensing the chance to snap up some political capital, says the $2 billion total is a “huge revela­tion.’’

“We need one central, detailed document to allay any fear that the Olympics may not break even,” said Carr. “We must en­sure Sydney avoids the enormous debt that other Olympic cities like Barcelona have been saddled with.”

An accounting professor at the University of New South Wales, Bob Walker, said he believed the budget for the Games would “blow out even further.”

Walker said Fahey’s $2 billion estimate of the total cost probably did not include interest on the borrowings, which he said could add another $330 million to the overall price tag.

While the city comes to grips

with its budget, Fahey also has to decide who will run the Olympic Organizing Committee for the next seven years.

Rod McGeoch, the high-pro­file Sydney lawyer who headed the bid team is a popular candi­date, but has made it clear he will need to be well compensated.

Several past and present politi­cians, including former state pre­mier Nick Greiner, also have in­dicated interest in the position.

A further pre-Olympic prob­lem for the state and city fathers is that environmentalists have ex­pressed concern that the Homebush Bay site was formerly used as a toxic waste dump.

The state government plans to lay a clay seal over the site and build a complicated drainage sys­tem to keep toxic residues from seeping to the surface of a $4 million cleanup.

Among the pollutants found at the site are asbestos, dioxins, lead, zinc, copper, cadmium, arsenic and mercury.

The Australian Olympic Com­mittee, meanwhile, has launched a campaign to stop “parasites” it says are illegally using the Sydney 2000 logo.

AOC executive director Perry Crosswhite says there “are a lot people using the logo illegally and making money for themselves.”

The AOC has discovered the logo illegally used on sweatshirts, T-shirts, umbrellas and other items, Crosswhite said, in pre­dicting legal action against of­fenders.

The logo is sold under license with proceeds going toward meet­ing the costs of the 2000 Games and preparing Australian competi­tors for the 1996 Games in At­lanta.

Stewart tries to lead Blue Jays back to World Series

B y R IC K G A N O

CHICAGO (AP) - Frank Tho­mas drew a bases loaded walk and Robin Ventura hit an RBI grounder as the Chicago White Sox rallied for two runs off Dave Stewart to fie the Toronto Blue Jays 2-2 after three innings in Game 6 of the AL playoffs.

Stewart, the most successful pitcher in playoff history, entered the third with a 2-0 lead after Pat Borders hit a bases loaded single in the second inning as the Blue Jays tried to win a return trip to the World Series.

Toronto entered the game with a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 play­offs.

But Stewart allowed a one-out double to Ozzie Guillen in the third for Chicago’s first hit. Tim Raines then singled to left for his 12th hit in the series, setting an AL playoff record, but Guillen was held at third.

Raines’ hit also tied Shoeless Joe Jackson’s club recordfor most hits in the postseason. Jackson had 12 hits in the 1919 World Series.

Stewart then plunked Joey Cora with a pitch to load the bases and

Thomas drew his record 10th walk of the playoffs to make it 2-1.

Ventura then hit a grounder to first. John Olerud threw to second for the force, but the relay to first was late as Raines scored the ty­ing run.

Olerud walked to start the sec­ond inning and Paul Molitor was hit by a high inside pitch from Alex Fernandez. Tony Fernandez then sacrificed before Ed Sprague drew a walk on a 3-1 pitch to load the bases.

Borders, the 1992 World Series MVP, then lined the first pitch to

Two women to box in sanctioned fightB y J A M E S K L O C K O W

SEATTLE (AP) - Backed with a court order, Dallas Malloy and Heather Poyner will step into the ring Oct. 30 for a landmark sanc­tioned amateur boxing event be­tween two women, Malloy’s law­yer said Tuesday.

It took the efforts of Malloy, her lawyer, the American Civil Liberties Union and a federal judge to get sanctioning for the bout.

“I ’m really happy that this day has finally come,” Malloy said during a news conference. “I’m really excited and I can’t wait until Oct. 30.”

The bout at Edmonds Commu­nity College north of Seattle will pit Malloy, a 16-year-old high school sophomore from

Bellingham, against Poyner, 21, of Lynden.

Malloy’s path to the ring was blocked when USA Boxing, the body that governs amateur box­ing in the United States, refused to send her an application be­cause she is female. Without mem­bership in the parent organiza­tion, Malloy could not compete in the Pacific Northwest Amateur Boxing Association.

Malloy sued and in May, U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein of Seattle granted a preliminary injunction allowing Malloy to box, paving the way for the fight.

Rothstein held that a US A Box­ing bylaw barring female fighters violated Washington state’s anti- discrimination laws.

A trial is scheduled for Dec. 20, but Malloy’s lawyer, Suzanne

Thomas, said she had received an unofficial report that the govern­ing body of USA Boxing met last weekend and voted to establish a boxing program for women.

The USA Boxingoffice in Colo­rado Springs, Colo., was closed late Tuesday afternoon and no one was immediately reachable for comment.

Thomas said she was encour­aged by the report but would pro­ceed with the trial if a satisfactory agreement couldn’t be reached with USA Boxing.

“We believe (Malloy) has paved the way nationwide for women to participate in boxing,” Thomas said.

Malloy and Poyner will com­pete in the 139-pound (63-kilo) junior welterweight division.
