A FARMER has filed a $5.5-million civil lawsuit against Rep. Benjamin A. Sablan in connec­tion with last year's slapping inci­dent in which Sablan was con­victed.

Norberto G. Clemente sued Sablan for personal injury, inten­tional infliction of severe emo­tional distress, defamation, and

Charles R. Rotbart, filed the case before the Superior Court Mon­day.

In a telephone interview, Sablan said he is ready to face Clemente again in court.

"l don't see any competent court in the US or anywhere in the world that decides that a simple slap­ping incident which is a misde­meanoroff ense is worth $5.5 mil­lion," he said.

Sablan said the new suit was filed either because it is election time or Clemente thinks he (Sablan) 'is "urinating" money.

The congressman said he be­lieves someone is just trying to persuade Clemente to file the suit.

"Is this the kind of justice sys­tem we have? We are inviting foreign workers to come and take away our hard-earned money. I just come from a poor family, but

I worked hard," Sablan said. "Let's stop these nonsense law­suits and instead work together for peace and harmony." .. ·

The Filipino farmer demanded $1 million in compensatory and punitive damages resulting from ~is physical and personal inju­nes.

He asked $1 million in com­pensatory and punitive damag:!s for his alleged severe emotional distress .

In addition, Clemente sought $3 .5 million in compensatory and punitive damages after Sablan allegedly slandered and libeled him on separate occasions.

He also demanded attorney's fees and costs of action.

Last June 9, the Superior Court found Sablan guilty of assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.

In the complaint, Rotbart said

last June 9 or 10, Sablan spoke with reporters in the presence of other persons stating that Clemente was a liar.

F.arly Tuesday morning, intruders broke into the political office of feder­alist leader Daniel Johnson and set a fire that caused extensive damage but no injuries, police said.

Prime Minister Jean Chretien, in a nationally televised address, appealed for reconciliation and asked separatist leaders to work with him in pursuing political change.

"We have every reason to be proud of a democracy where citi­zens can peacefully debate the very existence of their country," he said.

Some separatist campaigners who came closer than many had dreamed a few months ago - wept on each other's shoulders. But they came to life. cheering i,roudly, when Bouchard congratulated them for

improving so dramatically from a 60-40 percent defeat in a 1980 in­dependence referendum.

"We roll up our sleeves and we try again," said Bouchard's part­ner, Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau. "We won't wait 15 years this time .... We want our country, and we will get it."

Even if another referendum is not imminent, there will be imme­diate calls - from both sides • for reforms that would end decades of constitutional wrangling.

"We have to put an end to to this business, the referendum," said Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow. "We have to make ac­commodation with respect to the province of Quebec."

Comments like that will place heavy pressure on Chretien, a Que­beckerconunitted to national unity, to develop some strategy to meet the demands for change. Chretien was to convene his Cabinet on Tues­day to assess the impact of the vote.

Victim.s rights bill vetoed By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio vetoed yesterday a bill that seeks compensation for crime victims, citing flaws in the legislation.

Tenorio said he approved of the intention of Senate Bill 9-67 (also known as the Vic­tims' Rights Act) but pointed to" certain problems with this bill that makes it impossible for me to sign it into law."

He cited Section 3-21 of the bill which provides for the creation of the Office of Victim's Rights under the At­torney General's Office.

"I think this is a good idea but some of the details in the bill need to be worked out," Tenorio said in a letter to Sen­ate President Juan Demapan and Speaker Diego Benavente.

The governor said a poten­tial area of conflict looms in the creation of the new office.

"The Office is located within the AG' s office but it is also required to assist victims in the full realization of all rights and benefits under this Act," Tenorio said.

Another loophole, Tenorio said, appeared in Section 22-44 which provides for the es­tablishment of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Com­mission.

Under the proposal, the Commission is authorized "not only to require perpetra­tor to pay damages to the vic­tim but also to give ·govern­ment money to the victim."

While the bill guarantees the government's right to recover damage payments from the .perpetrator, Tenorio doubts

this would work. "Obviously, this will not al­

ways be possible," he said. The creation of a compensa­

tion agency, Tenorio said, would cost the government large amounts of money.

The bill does not provide for appropriation of money, however.

"(The bill) tries to get around this issue in various ways," he said.

The bill mentioned three ways to raise the fund:

• It au·thorized the appropriation of up to $50,000 not later than 90 days after the passage of the Act (Section 43);

• It also requires the legislature to make additional appropriations within 90 days (Section 44); and

• It allows the usage of court. fines and fees upon termina­tion of the Judicial Building

Fund (Section 30). These methods, Tenorio

said, would not guarantee funds for the Commission.

Section 43, Tenorio said, "is a mere authorization and does not appropriate money."

Section 44, on the other hand, "has no force of law."

He noted that the legislature "cannot require itself to act."

Finally, Section 30 will not be put into effect in the succeeding years "since the money from the judicial building fund will be used to pay back the loan from the Retirement Fund well past the year 2000," Tenorio said.

Tenorio suggested two ways to produce the fund: either to find a revenue source or cut · · other programs.

Nevertheless, Tenorio of­fered a compromise.

He wrote: "I would be willing

Froilan C. Tenorio

to sign a bill creating an Office of Victims' Rights provided that it included funding, and was care­fully drafted to avoid a conflict of interest for the Attorney General's Gffice."

He urged the leaders of both chwnbers to consult with the AGO "as to how it can be best drafted."

By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff

CONGRESSMAN Stanley T. Torres is threatening to initiate a class action lawsuit against petro­leum suppliers if the Attorney General fails to address what he said was an unfair gasoline price situation on Saipan.

Torres made the statement in an interview with the Variety yes­terday, where he also said he will do whatever is within his powers to bring the prices of gasoline down.

"Even if I am elected or not, I will still be pushing for this. I will bring this to court against the two gasoline companies if the AG does not do its investigation expedi­tiously.

"Gasoline is tooexpensivehere. The gasoline prices at the pump is just priced excessively. Just like in the States, somebody filed a class action suit against one air­line for high fare pricing. The

consumers won an adjustment," said the Saipan lawmaker.

Torres last week asked the At­torney General's Office to look into possible gasoline price fix­ing and the reasons why prices of gas on Sai pan is high c~mpared to Guam.

He also questioned why the prices remain high at the pump when government pays for only about 92 cents per gallon from basically the same suppliers.

When asked for comment, Shell area manager Jim Arenovski at first declined making a statement.

He, however, later said: "Shell unequivocally and categorically denies any allegations of price fixing or any other illegal activ­ity. Any such allegations deserve no further comment."

Mobil on the other hand During yesterday's interview,

Torres insisted Saipan should have whatever the prevailing price of

gasoline in Guam is . "We should have about the same·

price too because the ship that delivers direct to Guam from the refinery in Singapore or wher­ever is also delivering direct to Saipan. There is no transshipment now so there's no reason why there we should be priced differ­ently over here," said the con­gressman.

Torres adde.1 that both Mobil and Shell should dictate the price to their retailers and be more con­cerned about the consuming pub­lic.

"They should control the price at the gas pump. Because if not, just where is the competition method? There is no more com­petition," said Torres.

"Why do we have Shell here? Years ago, we supported Shell to come in to compete with Mobil so the people could expect a lower price.

But now, it seems they are cor­roborating and I suspect a con­spiracy here," Torres said.

The lawmaker pointed out that should his class action suit mate­rialize, it will be leveled at both Mobil and Shell, the suppliers and not the retailers. 'They should be the ones answering this. It all depends on the timing from the AG's office. I am giving them one more week and if they don't take any action about the prices, I am going to come up with the class action suit," said Torres.

He said the ultimate goal of the suit, if ever, will be to reduce gasoline prices at the pump. --------------Former employees of

I Galaide by John S. DelRosario, JR.

All Souls Day ALL Souls Day is a strong religious tradition for our people since time immemorial. Most family members would take-off from worl< to partake in the cleaning of family graves. It's an involved process that eventually had every member standing before the graves and tombs ofloved-ones the evening of the rosary, mass and response on 1st November.

Iusuallyattendthereligiousceremonyofthisimportantoccasion. In my silent moments of prayers, I know that someday it is here where I will also take my final resting place. After all, death is the most natural phenomenon that happens or willhappeninthelifespanofeveryhurnanbeing. Toere'snoescaping. lt'seven more certain than taxes!

I find this thought of acknowledgment very humbling. It focuses my.attention on the reality of the moment and what will eventually happen to this scribe. Since my yooth, I have visited this familiar setting as an altar boy. It is the only place, Olher than your brief stint at birth in the neo-natal wtlt, where we are all equal. There's no discrimination whatsoever! It knows no color, social status nor rich or poor. It is here where we all will humbly spend our days in quietude under cruel or pleasant conditions, i.e., banana or supertyphoons, rain and thunder­stonn or calm and bright swmy weather.

One November 1st, I was mentally struggling with wandering thoughts about questions that kept creeping up in the back of my mind They include whether my brothers and I would be happier kids had my father lived and spent his time with us--the "what might have been". The only thing I rememberofhim was what his friends told us of his mental acuity and great sense of humor and asa great managerof the famous Saipan Team. I'd shift my attention to the person next to hinr-my grandmother-and quizzed myself too whether we would have better fulfilled OW' potentials had she Ii ved and showered us with love since my father died in 1955. In my book, she was that destitute but saintly grandmother who was my source of consolation and inspiration in difficult moments.

The cemetery offers a serene surrounding for sober reflections. I envy the peare and tranquility that fills the air which prevails year round in a place we sometimes fear out of childhood imagination. It serves as a humble reminder that we too will have our own peace of mind when our days are done. If dying me.ans a world apart from this planet earth in the sea of peace and tranquility, then I definitely look forward to the other half of life!

Returning to the ceremony, I listened intent! y to Bishop Camacho explain the essence of the tiny graves before us. Small as they are, every physically well­built warm body made sure he/she participates in the cleaning, painting and placing individually bought wreaths on them. Its strength is spiritual and tl1e very venue upon which families are united at least annually. He W"ged that if any of us haven't been in good tellllS with our brothers and sisters that we mend differences now-forgive and forget-saying that it is what OW' loved-ones wanted in the first place. I humbly twned and offered my hand to one of my brothers whom I haven't spoken with literally for a year and-a-half. It felt good that both of us established normalcy once more\

My only trouble with the cemetery in Chalan Kanoa is the obvious transfor­mation from a simple place where we bury our loved-ones to one of a mini­cement jungle. I was puzzled either by our sense of territoriality or trying to make-up fora loved-oneoutofacertain sense of guilt We express it by building cement fortresses. I don 'tknow which is which oris itbothornoneoftheabove. The place has instantly shrunk in siz.e. We may even have to content with concrete cribs to make-up for the lack of it Or perhaps there may be a need altogether to open up a new Catholic Cemetery.

When the responso is completed and the final blessing given, we head home leaving behind a beautifully lit spiritual ground. It is the final resting place of loved-ones we know so dear! y by heart, spouses, grandparents, aunts, uncles, great granduncles and aunts, brothers and sisters who at one point or other have shared their precious time and wisdom with us during their healthier and brighter days. I was fond of each of them and forever grateful for the sacrifices they have endured through both calm and stonn to ensure that we become better citizens in the land that they love. With prayers, si Yuus Maase yan Ghilisow!

**** On the lighter side of things: A young recruit (police officer) was quizzed by

seniorofficeri; whether he has any fear walking through the cemetery just incase he had to pursue a criminal. He quickly answered in the negative. At the time, there's no such a thing as streetlights anywhere on the island. So you can imagine the area behind the Cathedral being pitch-darlc after sunset

As the evening wears off, so did the bravado in the new police recruit out to soow his seniors that he ain't no chicken by any stretch of the imagination. In the wee hours of the morning, the new police recruit started dozing off in the rear seat of the patrol car. Toe two senior officers called out his name every now and then until his voice is hardly audible. He was fast asleep. They drove the patrol car right into the middle of the cemetery and left him there.

After about two hours, the new polic.e recruit noticed the dead silence in the patrol car. H~ gradually pulled himself up hoping his senior officers didn't know he was asleep .. He cleared his vision and noticed white crosses on both side of thecar. Heyelledallhismight,kickedthedooropenandheadedtowardsPayless Supennarlcet Toe Welcoming Committee was there (his senior officers) waiting for him much to his embarrassment

Murder victim's dad writes Open letter to the Loren

Sutton, Attorney General's Office

It has been 58 days since the beaten, tortured, strangled and drowned body of my daughter was .. c;iiscovered by fisherman and nothing has been accom­plished in the investigation into her death.

Shortly after my daughter's death I had a conversation with you in which you assured me that the Police Department was quite capable of investi­gating and arresting the kill­ers without outside help.

Six other homicides and one hit and run murder also re­main in that limbo of "under investigation".

According to the Guam Po­lice Department the first' 72 hours following a Homicide are the most crucial in solving

a murder case and yet it was not until last week that Deputy Director Tenorio of the DPS showed my wife and I items found at the death scene and asked us if they belonged to out daughter or to one of her friends.

Your confidence in the po­lice Department solving these crimes is mis-placed.

I have accused the DPS Man­agement of being inept, how­ever is it possible that prime suspects in these murders have been identified and not fol­lowed through with in order to avoi_d embarra~sing their families?

Even worse, is it possible that information has been sup­pressed by DPS because of family and political ties with DPS personnel?

The Governor has come out on record as indicating that

increasing the reward to $ I 0,000 for information lead­ing to the arrest and convic­tion of killer's would not work here because everyone is so closely related.

If that is indeed the case then the only way anything will be accomplished in the investi­gations into the unsolved mur­ders is to bring in outsiders who are not related to poten­tial suspects.

Instead of siting idly by while the killers of the seven victims roam free and unthreatened you should be actively and vocally involved in seeking assistance from outside sources, unless you also are part of the problem.

On NMI's telecom bid By Nick Strause . (This piece by Mr. Strauss, a former special assistant to the governor for

Policy & Research, appears in today's issueasaguestcolumn.-Fd) (S1RAUSS is a fonner special assistant to the Governor for policy an4

research and am now a graduate student attending Toe George Washington University's School ofBusiness and Public Management in Washington, D.C.)

Toe recent announcement of MI'C's opposition to Governor Tenorio's initiative to reduce telecommunications rates for the CNMI has prompted me to write from Washington, D.C.

With Governor Tenorio leading the charge, the Northern Marianas is laying the groundworlc for opening up its telecommunications market to unfettered competition by bringing lhe Commonweallh into.closer alliance wilh the North American marketplace. But it comes as no swprise that MfC is balking at these efforts. After all, they are the government-franchised local phone monopoly and predominant long distance service provider in the CNMI. Tenorio' s efforts greatly exposeMfC to marlcetforcesand provide an opportunity for competitors to chip away at its long distance market share, perhaps its local market share too if telecom legislation in the U.S. Congress becomes enacted (UMDA, are you listening?).

MTC must fight Governor Tenorio's efforts. Integration is analhema to the profits of MfC and the other long-distance providers in Saipan. But Conswner, wake up! Distance doem't matter as much as it used to and certainly will only benominalconsiderationinthefutureasteclmologycontinuestoreducethecosts of placing these calls.

Indeed, such advances in the telecommunications industry were showcased in a recent economic report in Toe Economist entitled "Suddenly ... distance no longer mattered!" (913095). Ovc:rthe next few years, the price of making a long­distance or intc:rnational call in and between some countries will fall to the point when it costs little more to call from San Francisco to London than to nearby Oakland. Phone companies who charge customer.; on the length of time for which they talk will find it less aunbersome and more easily accountable to charge a flat rate sub5criptioJL

Soon, duration and distance will no longer matter. As a rerult, one of the most important limits on phone use imposed by geography or human activities will vanish.

To quote the Economist, "Proximity to. market will become less meaningful. Parties thousands of miles apart will be able toofferservices, from providing stock marlcet quotes to monitoring surveillance equipment - from anywhere in the world." As those in the telecommunications industry reaffirm, all this will be complemented by another industry revolution: the capacity and portability of the telephone. "New investments by telephone and cable companies are expanding bandwidth - the capacity to transmit information ... "(p.15)

Governor Tenorio and some in the Legislature understand that time zones, not cost, willbecomethebiggestbarriertokeepingintouch. Howfastthisnewworld anives in the Northern Marianas depends on the government Some seem determined to prevent the marlcet from opening up to outside investment by removing MfC's stranglehold on the competition. To those it must be lilllde crystal clear that this is where the future is heading· it is inevitable; the Northern Marianas can get in at the ground floor or hesitate and watch other territories and counaies benefits.

Butyouknow,themorelobservefromafar,themoreitbecomesapparentthat there is an overriding concern here. What must be acknowledged as the root problem here is the franchise that MTC holds for the next 23 years. The fact that MTC holds this right for so long (it wa~ 35 years to begin with) is absolutely preposterous, especial! y when one con,iders that the franchise was not auctioned off or awarded to the highest bidder. Nope, political expediency did not serve the northern Marianas well in this case.

That Governor Tenorio has the intestinal fortitude to take on this heady best proves that a problem of great proportion obviously exists. MTC has never really been regulated to any extent Pro-active initiatives, like NANP and rate integration, are long overdue and necessary.

In the CNMI's battles with MTC, including the submarine fiber cable lea,;e issue. we are seeing the problem with franchises and privatization of government services, in general. 1bat is, that these certificates of convenience and necessity, i:ermiL'i, licenses or some variation of an exclusive franchise alienate the public domain in the interest of preserving corporate profitability. Government is the protector of the public interest, but when it issues these pieces of pai:er without proi:er controls in,talled to monitor them, it sacrifices that public trust The net re.,ult in the case of the MTC franchise is a general legalization of a private monopoly.

For those of you who argue that MTC is not a monopoly consider that three characteristics of monopoly are market share, economies of scale and it, control of strategic resources.

MTC definitely ha, a narural monopoly; In long-<listance, it hold~ a 60-40 advantage over the rest of the competition. BecatL<;e of this lopsided advantage, MTC becomes a price searcher, that is, MTC influences the prices of it, comi:etitionandeslablishesthegoingrateforservice. Itha,thestrongadvantages in economies of scale. MfC' seconomy is large enough that over the years many of its costs have fallen, its profits have risen and still it can produce all or most of the industry output for phone service in the Northern Mariana~. And MTC obviously controls strategic resources through its franchise and ownership of gateway switching and nearly all telecommunications infrastructure in the Northern Mariana~. Most importantly, it has financial backing, legal resources and research and development capabilities of GIB. the nation· s largest local phone service operator.

To an extent, they have monopoly on the inforrnation,too; Rob Enfield's arguments against integration amount to nothing more than smoke and mirrors bankingonhopesthatheaveragepersondoesn'tknowenoughabouttheindustry to disprove his statements. It may be true that only 30% of MTC long-distance business is calls placed to the U.S., but wouldn't that percentage rise if the toll to use that road suddenly dropped? Kind of like, "If you build it, they will come."

The bottom line is that MfC stands to lose its grotesque profit margin if GovemorTenorio'seffortsaresuccessful. Mr.Enfieldprobablyrealizesthatthis is a done deal. The Federal Communications Commission can grant NANP integration unilaterally to the CNMI, but wants to gamer consen~us approval by the countries involved, c.anada included. As a last ditch effort, it wouldn't be any more of a surprise if Mr. Enfield enlisted the help of the Saipan Chamber of Cornmerc.e and it agreed by taking an official position in support of MTC' s arguments against integration (MfC holds two of the five or so seats on the Chamber board). Mr. Enfield and his company should concentrate on rolling out new services for MTC's customers and try to achieve l 00% market penetration rather than whine about the inevitable. A congratulations in advance to the Tenorio-Borja administration!

workforce. The four candidates for the Board

of Education positioned themselves for Saturday's political race.

At yesterday's forum in Marianas High Schoo~ the candidates tried to bea1 one another by rattling off prom­ises about what they would do to improve the quality of education if elected to the office.

The four are jostling forSaipan seat in the board:.

The MHS's sb.ldent council orga­nized the forum to stress the perennial problems hounding the 1R1blic school system

"Wethinkthisisthepropertimefor thestudentsand teach=tovoiceout the concerns and other education is­suesconfrontingus," saidJockSablan, the council's vice president

The campus was packed with stu­dents and teachers who aired such . concerns as lack of teaching materials and funds for the school, low salaries forteachers,overcrowdedclassrooms and others.

"We have relayed <_mr messages," Sablan said. "We hope to see accom­plishments in the succeeding years."

Delivering his own piece, board chairman Daniel Quitugua lamented the central government's giving low priority to education.

HedeploredGov.FroilanTenorio's recent item-veto of the 1996 budget which resulted in the PSS being stripped of allotment

"Despite the financial difficulties, the PSS tries hard to address the prob­! ems confronting the system," Quitugua said.

Ogomuro promised to establish partnership with the legislature and the executive to ensure smooth com­municationamonggovernrnentagen­cies.

"We have a seven-year education plan and we need everyone's com-

mitmenttorealizethisplan,"0g0!Ill10 said.

Ogomuro is an incumbent boanl member seeking a second tenn.

Pangelinan,fonnerHopwocxlJun­ior High principal. wants to imtiw­tionalize sports olympics in public schools and yearly student confer­ence where educational problems would be discussed

He also hopes to be able to prepare public school students for future ca­reers.

Aeming shares with Pangelinan's idea.

"We have been receiving com­plaints from the private businesses abouttheunavailabilityoflocalskilled wodcers," said Aeming , who

was the topnotcher in the last elec­tion for Constitutional Convention delegates.

Santos, on the other hand, is con­cerned about the growing number of failing students particularly in the Marianas High School.

This problem. he said, is not rooted in the system.

TI1e problem. Santos said, is the low priority given to proper materials for teaching.

"Priorities must given to instruc~ tional materials," Santos said. "How can you teach without these equip­ment?"

He also wants the PSS to provide adequate and safe transportation for students.

Santos was among the applicants endorsed by the BOE's fiscal and personnel committee when it was scouting for a replacement for Com­missioner William Tones.

Japan food chain sues Saipan restaurant for 'infringeIDent'

By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

A JAPAN-BASED chain of restau­rants Im asked the court to stop a

Fiji condemns 3rd French test FIJI'S foreign minister, Felipe Bole, has strongly condemned France's third nuclear test carried out at Moruroa Atoll last Saturday.

In a statement, Mr. Bole said the French had made a mockery of their announcement last week, only a few

He said the fact that the latest test was so sudden and so soon after the announcement clearly

Mr. Bole said the people of the South Pacific were not so gullible as the French took them to be with regard to nuclear testing in the region.

They are seriously concerned, he said, about the pollution of their environment, in particular

about radiation leakage from the French testing.

Mr. Bole said Pacific people were concerned about their sur­vival and future security and the continued French disregard of voices of protest from the Pacific was deplorable.

Diabetes 'sco11rge' of the Pacific DIABETES has become one of the scourges of South Pa­cific nations, according to a world authority on the disease.

The director of the Melbournebased International Diabetes Institution, Professor Paul 2immet, says that 30 years ago the region was almost free of diabetes. Today, it is one of

the worse affected in parts of the world, largely due to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Professor Zimmel says the people of the Pacific Islands are adopting a Western-style diet and exercising less.

He said between l O to 15 per cent of all pregnancies in the Pacific Islands were af-

fected by diabetes, and in Fiji alone 400 foot amputations were performed each year as a result of the disease.

Professor 2immet' s organi­zation will lead the fight against diabetes as part of the US $600,000 project an­nounced in Fiji at the week­end by the Australian minister

Islamic Jihad

Shakaki's possible successor known By ARIEH O'SULLIVAN

JERUSALEM (AP) - The name surfacing as the possible successor to Islamic Jihad's slain leader matches that of a British-educated business pro­fessor said to have headed an American think tank that spe­cialized in Islamic issues.

A leaflet distributed at Is­lamic University in the Gaza Strip during the weekend said the Palestinian group will be headed by Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, 40, a business admin­istration professor.

Announcements by radical Islamic groups are tradition­ally made through leaflets dis­tributed in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

The leaflet gave no qetailed specifics about Shall ah' s back­ground. But a documentary filmmaker who studied Islamic Jihad said he was the same man who headed a Tampa, Florida, th ink tank called World Islamic Studies Enter­prise.

Palestinian sources in Gaza said Monday that Shallah was one of the founders of Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-backed group that has tried to scuttle the Is­rael-PLO peace process with deadly suicide attacks against Israelis.

With a core of several hun­dred militant followers, Is­lamic Jihad is considered even more uncompromising in its opposition to Israel than the larger Hamas group.

The group blamed Israeli agents for the shooting death of its leader, Fathi Shakaki, on the Mediterranean island of Malta last week and has vowed revenge. Israel has not said if it played a role in Shakaki's death. Shallah was born in 1955 in Gaza City's Shajaiya refugee camp, a stronghold of radical Islamic belief. He earned his doctor-

ate in economics from the Uni­versity of Durham in Britain in 1990 and headed Islamic Jihad activities in England, Islamic Jihad sources said.

His resume lists him as an assistant professor of Islamic economics at Gaza's Islamic University since I 990. Islamic Jihad sources, however, said he left the Gaza Strip in I 991.

In recent years, the resume says, Shallah also headed World Islamic Studies Enter­prise, which is affiliated with the University of South Florida. U.S. authorities could not immediately confirm his involvement with that organi­zation.

But Steven Emerson, who produced the documentary "Jihad in America," which aired on America's public tele­vision network PBS-TV last year, said Islamic Jihad elimi­nated references to Abdullah 's links to the University of South Florida in its announce­ment.

Emerson said other informa­tion released by Islamic Jihad -including Abdullah' s birth date, education and employment his­tory - matched that of the Islamic organization's director.

"He is one and the same," Emerson said in a telephone in­terview from Washington, D.C. "I can tell you that better than I can tell you who my mother is. Everythirig is the same here.''

The Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot said Shallah had been used to relay orders from Shakaki, who in recent years was based in Damascus, Syria, to Islamic Jihad opera­tives in the West Bank and Gaza.

The group claimed respon­sibility for several attacks against Israel in the 1980s. Since September 1993, when Israel and the PLO signed a peace accord, it has killed dozens of

By BRAD CAIN SALEM, Oregon (AP) - A judge has refused to free two people serving time for mwtler, even though pros­ecutors say a self-confessed serial killer is the probable culprit in the 1990 slaying.

There isn't enough evidence to warr.mt releasing La Verne Pavlinac andJohnSosoovske, who have served ti ve years in prison for raping and strangling 23-year-old Taunja Bennett, CircuitJ udge Paul Lipscomb said Monday.

While the prosecutor presented ''troubling" evidenceimplicatingthe man dubbed the Happy Face Killer, it doesn't mean theothersaren'tguilty, Lipscomb said

Implying that his decision isn't final, the judge saidPavlinac, 62, and Sosnovske, 42, can request a hearir,g, . and noted that Gov. John Kitzhaber can release the pair. A spokesman

said the governor's lawyers were reviewing the case.

The judge said he can overturn a conviction only in a case where new evidence implicating another person was known to the prosecution and l'.rongfully withheld from the de­fense, or when the defense should have learned of the evidence but did not He found neither in this case.

DisuictAttomey Michael Schrunk· told the judge Thursday that there is considerable evidence that Pavlinac and Sosnovske were wrongly sen­tenced in 199 l.

A man who claims he has killed eight women in the past five years gavepolicedetailsthatonlythekiller could know, Schrunk said. He even helped find Bennett's purse.

The man, Keith Jesperson, was dubbed the Happy Face Killer be­cause he draws smiley faces atop neatly printed letters to the media

The 4-0-year -old interstate trucker is imprisoned in Washington, await­ing sentencing for kidnapping, rap­ing and strangled a woman in March_

He faces up to life in prison on his guilty plea.

Prosecutors say they will charge Jesperson with Be!lllett' s death and investigators are looking into his other claims.

Jesperson's lawyer, Tom Phelan, said, ''1bereisnoroom to believe that these two people ... had anything to do with the murder."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -A CIA review of its operations in the former Soviet Union con° eludes they were filled with double agents, and that offi­cials who knew this did not tell the White House or senior policy-makers how severe the problem was, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The double agents sent disinformation back to the United States in the 1980s and early 1990s and went unde­tected until the Aldrich Ames spy case broke, the newspaper said. The Times quoted sources who have seen the long-awaited internal "dam­age estimate.''

Ames was the most highly placed Soviet agent uncovered within the CIA. He has been linked to the reported deaths of at least 10 Soviets working as spies for the CIA and the FBI, two U.S. government in­telligence agencies, in the mid-1980s.

A longtime CIA counterin­telligence officer, Ames was arrested by the FBI in Febru­ary 1994 and is now serving a life sentence in prison.

The failure of CIA spy-hunt­ers to detect Ames for years despite his lavish spending and alcoholism has brought wide­spread criticism to the agency.

The newspaper quoted uni­dentified sources who have seen the report as saying it presents a devastating picture of the harm that the Ames case caused the CIA's covert op­erations.

"It is really, really bad," one told the newspaper. "This is not a pretty sight for the agency," said another. "It's much worse than anybody re­alized.''

By RICK HAMPSON NEW YORK (AP) - The former director of a Parkinson's disease charity was arrested Monday on charges of embezzling more than $870,000 by duping a Parkinson's patient who heads the group's Minnesota chapter.

Frank Williams, 54, allegedly stole the money from the Ameri­can Parkinson's Disease Asso­ciation, which raises money for research and information on the neurological disease.

The U.S. attorney's office said Williams sent donors' checks to Michel Monnot of Northfield, Minnesota, and told him to de­posit them into the chapter's ac­count. Monnot then was to write new checks or obtain money or­ders and mail them to Williams' home in New York City.

Monnot told investigators that Williams told him the money was going to nursing homes. Federal prosecutor Douglas Bums said there is no indication it did. He said it is unclear what Williams did with the money. Will­iams, who resigned in April, faces five years in prison and a$250,000 fine if convicted of the federal charges. He was ordered held on $ 100,000 bail Monday.

Burns said Mormot was not a sus­pect He apparent! y trusted Williams, whom Burns described as "the char­ismatic head of this association.''

Monnot was not home Monday and could not be reached for com­ment His wife, Janice, who also is active in the Minnesota chapter, said he would be shocked: 'Tm not aware of uus, and neither is he."

Parkinson's disease is a degenera­tive brain disorder characterized by body tremors.

Ex-New Zealand PM dead at 67 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - S'ir Wallace Rowling, a former prime minister who was ambassador to Washington when New Zealand banned United States nuclear warships from its ports in the mid- l 980s, died Tues­day, his family said.

He was aged 67. Rowling, who was prime min­

ister from 1974to 1975,diedofa brain tumor.

Known to voters as "Bill," Rowling assumed leadership of the Labor Party government when his predecessor Norman Kirk died in office in mid-1974. After losing power in 1975 he helped draft policies which eventually led to the banning of all nuclear­powered or armed ships from New Zealand's pons.

The ban came into effect in

three-year term as envoy in Wash­ington - a period which was a low point in bilateral relations with the United States.

The Reagan Administration de-' cried the ship ban as contrary to New Zealand's obligations under the longstanding ANZUS defense pact which also includes Austra­lia.

Sablan appeared on behalf of George for the hearing.

BEUING (AP) - In an effort to stop a flow of tons of foreign garbage to Olina, the legislature has paS&rl a law to keep out useless solid waste andlimitimportsofrecyclablewaste.

The solid waste bill also says that the government will encour­age recycling of solid waste pro­duced within China and ban im­properdisposal. The National People'sCongressStandingCom­mittee, which ended an eight-day

session on Monday, also ratified a bill that would punish offenses related to value-added tax invoices and a law outlining support for the development of civil aviation, the China Daily reported Mon­day.

Interested party may pick up a copy of the specifications at the NMHC office in Garapan between the hours of 7:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays, on or after October 31, 1995. Proposals must be submitted no later than No­vember 30, 1995 at 9:30 a.m., at which time and place all proposal received shall be opened and read aloud. Proposals received after this date will not be accepted.

Under the new law, Chinese cus­toms authorities will order violators to ship the waste back and pay fines, the China Daily reported Monday.

China has become a dwnping ground for trash from developed countries around the world. Some have sent recyclable waste, tak­ing advantage of China's low la­bor costs for sorting and reclaim­ing raw materials.

the request, claiming that he would not receive a fair trial in Thailand, the reports said.

Sobhraj, 4~, was once wanted in eight countries for crimes rang­ing from car theft to many mur­ders.

The Vietnamese-born French­man has been in Indian jails since 1976, and two best-selling books about him say he studied psychol­ogy at the Sorbonne in Paris and used his smooth style and many languages to con tourists around Asia in the 1970s.

He is currently being tried in a New Delhi court for an audacious jailbreak eight years ago. If he is convicted he is expected to ap­peal, knowing that Thailand can't prosecute him after December because of its 20-year statute of limitations.

Thai police filed the 14 murder charges against him in 1975, even though the crimes he is accused of committing occurred between 1968 and 1972, the news reports said.

In India, Sobhraj allegedly es­caped in 1986 from New Delhi's maximum security Tihar prison while an appeal was being heard in connection with the murder in India of two tourists.

Temporary rise in debt limit gets GOP support

organization, 7 4 percent of those questioned said they were disap­pointed with both President Jacques Chirac and Premier Alain Juppe's performance since they took office last May.

By JAMES H. RUBIN WASHINGTON (AP) - Amid testy exchanges over the government's looming bor­rowing crisis, a key Republi­can senator said Monday he favors raising the debt limit for no more than a month.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici said he would consider lifting the debt ceiling to permit borrow­ing through the end of No­vember. But he ruled out a proposal by Treasury Secre­tary Robert Rubin to allow enough leeway to carry the government through January.

"That's just not in the cards,'' Domenici told report­ers.

Other Republican leaders did not support his concilia­tory remarks about a tempo­rary extension of the debt ceil­ing.

Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and House Speaker Newt Gingrich said they were wait­ing to hear from President Clinton, not Rubin.

"I think there's some feeling among Republicans that Secre­tary Rubin's been so political ... that he doesn't have a lot of cred­ibility up here," Dole told report­ers. "He may have a good case, but no credibility. If this is this important, it ought to be ratcheted up to the presidential level."

Gingrich said: "It's very hard to follow Rubin, so it would be nice to talk to his boss."

Republicans are refusing to raise the limit until Clinton agrees to their plans for balancing the budget in seven years, cutting taxes and scaling back the Medi­care and Medicaid programs for the elderly and the poor. The House and Senate passed similar versions of a sweeping budget bill last week and negotiators are to meet to work out the details. Clinton has said he would veto the measure.

FOR THOSE WITH A TASTE FOR QUALITY.

Rubin said Congress would be acting irresponsibly it it fails to separate the debt limit issue from broader budget matters to avoid the first default in the federal government's history.

He proposed last week that the $4.9 trillion debt limit be raised by $ 85 billion, enough to keep the government going into next year.

In Lebanon Fundamentalists ·change tactics as influence wanes

By HUSSEIN DAKROUB BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -HezboUah, the umbrella group for extremist Islamic fundamentalists who kidnapped dozens of foreigners in the 1980s, is now inviting West­erners to come visit its strongholds as tourists.

''Hezbollah Welcomes Y ooByHis Pioneer Values," says a slightly muddled English-language banner near the ancient Roman ruins in Baalbek, a Hezbollah redoubt that was off limits to foreigners during Lebanon's 1975-90civil war.

Hezbollah' s new face is a recogni­tion of its waning influenre, ironi­cally atalimethatlslamicfundamen­talism is on the rise in other countries in the region, including Egypt, Sudan and Algeria

The coalition has been weakened · bythegrowingauthorityotl..ebanon' s central government and by a shrink­ing· flow of money from its cash­strapped sponsor, Iran.

Many Lebanese also have shown little interest in supporting hard-line groups that could again fracture the counby after the devastation of the civil war.

Seeking to retain a role in the nation's politics, Hezbollah, as well as nonviolent Islamic fundamentalist groups, has adopted less extreme positions and shown more willing~ ness to worlc with mainstream par­ties. He:zbollah guerrillas still battle Israeli troops occupying south­ern Lebanon, but the group has made a sharp change in tactics since the 1980s when it sought to establish an Islamic state patterned after Iran. Hezbollahnowspeaksof achievinga democraticlslamicstarethroughnon- .. violence.. ·

Shiite Muslim militants linked to Hezbollah were involved in the kidnappings of Westerners and sev­eral dramatic attacks, including the 1983 suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed

The Middle East peace negotia­tions have presented Hezbollah and other fundamentalists with a tough choice: compromise or face the pos­sibility ofbeingsweptaway by chang­ing times.

A turning point for Hezbollahcarne in 1992 when it participated in Lebanon's 52-year-old sectarian po­litical system, which it had not recog­nized previously.

The movement won eight of the 128 se.ats in the first postwar parlia­mentary election~.

Hezbollah is seeking support by playing on mounting discontent with government policies, especially among the poor who comprise the majority of the country's 1.2 million Shiite Muslims. The Shiites are the largest single sect in this country of 4 million people.

Hezbollah has championed issues of social justice. It has built schools and hospitals and dug wells. Water tanks were installed on street comers insouthBeiruttohelpShiiteresidents cope with shortages.

While most civil war militias have laid down their arms, Hezbollah still has weapons and uses them against Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon.

Its longstanding policy has been to seek the elimination of Israel. But that position appears to be softening, too.

Hezbollah leaders have dodged questions on whether they will . continue fighting if Israel with­draws from tfte,south.

YOUR BIRTHDAY

By Stella Wilder

Born today, you are a rather unconventional, even controver­sial figure. You are certainly one of the most openly aggressive and acquisitive individuals born under your sign. You know what you want and you know how to get it, and you're always eager to get started .as soon as possible - of­ten before your preparations are even complete. What sees you through, however, even when you are not really ready to face the challenges that lie in store, is your remarkable abilitv to see things logically, and to make order _out of chaos.

Bears best Vikings in NFL MINNFAPOLIS (AP) - The Chi­cago Bears finally won again on a Monday night, and they might have doomed the Minne.5ota Vikings' play­off hopes in the~-

Erik Kramer threw two touchdown passes, including a stunning 48-yard ( 44-meter) pass to Curtis Conway with 25 seconds left in the first half, as Chicago beat the Vikings 14-6 to end its eight-game losing streak, the worst in the National Football League.

The rare prime-time victory, sealed when Minnesota's Qadry Ismail fumbled at the Chicago 24 with 1 :32 to play, gave the Bears ( 6-2) a one-game lead over Green Bay in the National Football Conference Central entering

the second half of the season. It left the Vikings (3-5) needing a

remarkable turnaround to make Den­nis Green only the fourth coach to take his te;un to the playoffs each ofhis first four seasons.

Minnesota probably needs a 6-2 fin­ish to have a chance, and its schedule includes Green Bay, Detroit, Oevc­land and San Francisco.

The Bears entered the game with a 12-26 record in the 26-year history of Monday night football, and they hadn't won in the showcase game since a victory at the Metrodome on Nov. 11, 1991.

Befo~ a n:24 loss to Green Bay on Sept 11, they liad lost their previous

seven Monday night games by nearly 20 points a game.

EvenwithrunningbackRobertSmilh out with an injured ankle, Minnesota controlled the clock throughout, riding Moon's accurate short passing on long drives that kept Kramer and the NFC' s highest-scoring offense on the side­lines much of the night

Moon finished28of 42 for252 yards (230 meters), and the Vikings had a four-minute edge in possession.

But Chicago sacked Moon four times, and the Vikings, who lost their third straight, consistently stalled when they got in scoring position and man­aged only two Fuad Reveiz field goals.

Stricter SABA ground rules passed SAIP AN Amateur Basketball Association is detennined to professionalize its ranks not only in the upcoming but also in the succeeding leagues with the passage of stricter ground rules.

In an effort to discourage un­sportsmanlike conduct and to protect referees from verbal and physical assault, administrative and team officials included in its recent ground rules a life­time suspension on players com­mitting such offense twice.

Rule five of th~ new ground rules states that "striking or threat­ening a referee, whether commit­ted during or after a game or oth­erwise, will result in ejection for the remainder of the season and playoffs."

Rule five further states thatthe board - cmnposed of 12 repre­sentatives from each team and the three-man non-playing members - may also suspend an offender for succeeding leagues and other SABA-sponsored tournaments.

"A second such incident will result in a lifetime suspension," the rule states.

In a move to keep as well as protect its players and officials from the devastating effects of drugs, the officials likewise gave referees authority to determine if a player or coach is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
