C P A f e a r s lo s s o f $ 2 M r e v e n u eIF JAPAN Air Lines were to pull out o f Saipan, the Commonwealth Ports Authority lose almost $2 mil­lion in annual revenues,CPA Chair­man J.M. Guerrero and Executive director Roman T. Tudela said.

The two officials made the state­ment in their written testimony to Senate Bill 8-124 which is before theSenateCommitteeonResources Development and Programs. The committee will conduct a public hearing on the bill today.

Guerrero and Tudela support the intent of SB 8-124, which would limit attorney’s fees on real prop­erty cases and pay restitution to affected parties in land dispute cases.

They said Article 12 lawsuits were “havingdisastrous,long-term impacts” on the CNMI’s economy. If JAL ceases services to the CNMI from Japan, CPA will be “ad­

versely” affected financially. In 1992, Japan Air Lines paid directly to CPA $1.3 million in the form o f arrival fees, departure fees, landing fees and office space rentals.

In addition, in 1992 CPA re­ceived approximately $600,000 from Duty Free Shoppers and other concessionaires at the Saipan In­ternational Airport, as a result of sales to passengers who fly on JAL.

Guerrero and Tudela explained to Sen Edward U. Maratita, who heads the Senate committee, that CPA’s airport operations rely ex­clusively onuserfees collected from airlines and other businesses at the airport.

“The loss of a major carrier such as JAL would require CPA to raise current user fees and other charges,

cut needed personnel and opera­tional expenses, or a combination of both,” they said.

“Most o f CPA’s expenses are fixed and cannot be reduced.”

They listed as an example the issuance of revenue bonds that funded major improvements at the Saipan International Airport in 1987. “Other expenses are also fixed and cannot be reduced with­out violating FAA requirements which would jeopardize safety and result in the loss of future federal funding,” Guerrero and Tudela pointed out.

“Increases in user fee charges would be passed oh by other carri­ers in the form of increased fares. Increases in other charges would be passed on to consumers who frequent airport businesses. All of these increases would affect local travelers as well as tourists who

LAWYER Eric Smith (right) and David M. Sablan meet Koji Takahashi outside courtroom after being arraigned on charges ofdistributing and possessing crystal methamphetamine yesterday.

M a n t o f a c e j u r y i n ‘ i c e ’ c a s eA F okM E R employee of a jet ski operator in Saipan pleaded inno­cent to charges of possession and distribution of cry stal methamphet­amine or “ice” yesterday.

Judge M arty T ay lo r set a $150 ,000 cash bail for Koji Takahashi’s temporary release. Koji, through counsel Eric Smith, requested a jury trial, which was set for July 19.

Takahashi was charged with two counts of distribution of and illegal possession of the controlled sub­stance. The distribution of ice was

allegedly committed on June 16 while unlawful possession was on June 22.

A ssistant A ttorney General Cheryl Gill said 0.09 gram of ice was found in Takahashi’s wallet. His sunglass case allegedly yielded 0.15 gram of ice, and a similar amount was found in a kitchen kettle in his house.

Takahashi was employed by All Marine Sports, a jet skit operator. His employment expired in April but he remained in Saipan as a tourist.

In another case, Guam resident Erlinda JaneCalvode Oro pleaded no contest to the charge of importa­tion of contraband yesterday.

She was accused of bringing into Saipan 50 rounds of .38 caliber bullets and 40 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. The contraband was allegedly brought aboard a flight from Guam in December 1992.

Taylor set sentencing on July 28. Importation of contraband is pun­ishable with imprisonment of not more than five years and a fine of not more than $2,000.

visit Saipan, Rota and Tinian. Be­cause air fares are a major factor in determining whether to visit one destination over another, the North­ern Mariana Islands becomes a less attractive option. Given the in­tense competition we nowfaceftom other areas, we cannot afford to become less competitive,” accord­ing to the CPA officials.

The C PA ’s top management pointed out that much has been done to modernize the airport fa­cilities to make them compatible with the economic growth of the CNMI. They said CPA is trying to convince Continental Micronesia to locate its maintenance facility on Saipan. The Saipan Harbor is being renovated and expanded.

“If JAL leaves the market after so many years,” the letter contin­ued, “we are sending a message that the Commonwealth is unstable,

anti-investment and not a good place to conduct business. It is doubtful that another carrier would replace JAL. This would result in a major reduction in our number of tourist arrivals. We cannot enter the next century and protect our future generations unless those who invest here know and believe that their investments are secure.”

B oth G uerrero and Tudela urged an expeditious legislative solution to resolving Article 12 disputes in a “fair and equitable” manner, noting that the bill will accomplish those objectives and help restore investor confidence. In addition to being the CP A board chairman, Guerrero also serves as a Board member of the Marianas V isito rs B ureau, an agency he used to head for alm ost since its in cep tio n fo r a lm ost 20 years.

SEOUL, South K orea (AP) - The United States and North Ko­rea have agreed to reopen high- level talks in Geneva on July 14 on nuclear and other issues, Seoul officials said Monday.

The United States had hoped to reopen the talks this week but North Korea insisted that they be held after President Clinton visits Seoul July 10-11, they said.

The Geneva talks have been called tofollow up on earlier high- level contact between the United States and North Korea, during which Pyongyang reversed itself and agreed to remain within inter- national nuclear controls.

After four rounds of high-level talks in New York early this month, the Communist North sus­pended its March 12 decision to drop out of the Nuclear Non-pro­liferation Treaty.

The North did not say anything, however, about reopening its fa­cilities to international inspec­tions. The North allowed four in­

spections in 1992 but refused to accomodate a demand to inspect two facilities suspected of being nuclear waste dumps.

South Korean Foreign Minister Han Sung-joo, appearing on the state KBS television on Sunday, said the focus of the Geneva talks was expected to be on when and how to make a special inspection of the two suspected North Ko­rean nuclear sites.

North Korea has made no se­cret of its intentions to use the talks to improve ties with the United States, with which it has no formal diplomatic relations.

Han said the North’s nuclear issues will top the agenda in talks between Clinton and South Ko­rean President Kim Young-sam.

North Korea, a hard-line Marx­ist state, is suspected of develop­ing nuclear weapons, despite its denials. Last Saturday, the North hardened its position by cutting off dialogue with rival South K o­rea.

China to buy crude oil from SaudisMANAMA, B ahrain (AP) - Chi­nese Vice Premier Li Lanqing has signedacontract withSaudi Arabia to purchase 21 million barrels of oil a a year, a newspaper said.

The Saudi economic daily Al- Eqtisadiah said Li announced the deal during atwo-day visittoSaudi Arabia, where he met with Saudi businessmen and called upon them to invest in industrial and trade projects in China.

Li leads a delegation representing Chinese manufacturing companies onaGulf tour designed toboost trade relations with the oil-rich region. He arrived in Bahrain Sunday.

W ith the new deal, signed with the kingdom’s giant oil company Saudi Aramco, China has in­creased its imports of Saudi oil by 275 percent, and redressed an im ­balance in its trade with Saudi Arabia, the daily said.

Chinese exports to Saudi Arabia in 1992 were at around $450 m il­lion, while it imported from the kingdom to the tune of dlrs 150 million, mainly petroleum prod­ucts and fertilizers, according to Al-Eqtisadiah.

A r t i c l e 1 2 h e a r i n gTHE SENATE Committee on Resources, Development and Pro­grams will conduct hearing today on a bill which protects develop­ers who lose lawsuits related to Article 12 of the Constitution.

Senate Bill 8-124, authored by Sen. Paul A. Manglona, will be the topic of discussion during the public hearing which is expected to draw a big crowd.

SB 8-124 imposes a ceiling on fees charged by lawyers on land­owners seeking recovery of their land.

The bill also provides restitu­tion to losing developers.

SB 8-124 also requires Article 12 litigants to file their claims within six years.

Among the individuals, orga­nizations, agencies and businesses asked to testify were the attorney general, Marianas Public Land Corporation, Saipan Chamber of Commerce, Saipan Bankers As­sociation, CNMI Contractors As­sociation, Hotel Association of the NM I, CNMI Bar Association, m ayors o f Saipan, R ota and Tinian, prominent businessman Larry Hillblom and 16 lawyers practicing in the CNMI, includ­ing Ted Mitchell, David Nevitt, Vicente Salas and Anthony Long.

Notably missing in the w it­nesses list are individuals who may have been affected by Ar­ticle 12, and those who have pend­ing interests in any Article 12. cases.

“W e are not impressed with the way the public hearing is being held because the ind igenous people o f the Commonwealth are not represented by anyone called in to testify before the Commit­tee,” said Lino Olopai, a spokes­man for a group of Carolinians.

According to Olopai, the wit­nesses list consists of lawyers, businessmen and organizations that “are inclined into supporting the measure being discussed.”

“We were expecting to see rep­resentatives of indigenous groups in the list. Its puzzles me why the

likesof Special AssistantforCaro- linian Affairs Rokoucho F. Billy, Resident Executive for Indig­enous Affairs Victorino Cepeda or W om en’s Affairs Special As­sistant Malua Peter were m iss­ing," he said.

According to Olopai, it is un­fair for the Committee to just in­vite those witnesses who are likely to support the measure.

Olopai went to the Senate yes­terday demanding that the Com ­mittee issue a subpoena to key Article 12 protagonists whose in­sights may be considered invalu­able in the deliberations on the controversial land restriction pro­vision of the Constitution.

This was to ensure the atten­dance and participation of those key figures in today’s discussion.

Among those he wanted sub­poenaed were Hillblom, Mitchell and Nevitt.

“These people are the experts in Article 12. By just sending them invitations, they may opt not to appear in the hearing. By subpoe­naing them, we can be assured of their input in the proceedings. This is important since theic absence would defeat the purpose of the hearing,” Olopai said.

Olopai, who spoke in behalf of the Carolinian community, said he totally disagrees with the in­tent of the bill.

He said that limiting lawyer’s fees and setting up a statute of limitations would hamper the pre­rogative o f local landowners to make their own choices with re­gards to their interest on their land.

The restitution provision in ef­fect suggest that the land restric­tion provision of the Constitution may continuously be abused by non-NMI persons or investors, he said

“By protecting the developer, we are promoting the abuse of Article 12. I believe Article 12 should remain as is to deter inves­tors from circumventing our land laws,” Olopai said. (RHA)

Feds won’t arrest bombing suspectBy Dana Kennedy

NEW YORK (AP) - The federal government says ithas its reasons for not arresting Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, despite reports he inspired and influenced a plot to blow up parts of the city.

Federal authorities are investi­gating the blind cleric’s connec­tion to eight men accused o f plot­ting a massive bomb attack in New York. Also, two of his fol­lowers are accused of bombing the World Trade Center, authori­ties say.

The New York Times reported Monday that the Clinton admin­istration decided not to arrest the sheik even though federal authori­ties in New York concluded he knew details o f the plot to deto­nate four bombs in the city.

Still, the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they

didn’t have information about his precise role, The Times said.

The final decision not to arrest Abdel-Rahman was made by At­torney General Janet Reno on le­gal and tactical grounds, includ­ing the cleric’s usefulness as a link to Islamic extremists, the newspaper reported.

Justice Department spokesman Carl Stem told The Associated Press late Sunday night that he had “no quarrel” with The Times ’ characterization of Reno’s role. But Stem wouldn’t confirm that officials had concluded the sheik knew details of the plot.

Some politicians are demand­ing action against the sheik.

“This man has been tied to the assassinations of Anwar Sadat, Meir Kahane, the bombing of the World Trade Center and now this horrible plot to blow up the UN and city arteries,” said state At­

torney General Robert Abrams...“I think the US should stop

pussyfooting around with this guy and use the strongest sanctions, ranging from arrest to deporta­tion.”

C ity C om ptroller E lizabeth H oltzm an, US R ep. C harles Schumer, D-N.Y., and US Sen. Alfonse D ’Amato, R-N.Y., an alleged target of the terrorist plot, also have called for A bdel- Rahm an’s arrest or deportation.

Rabbi Avi Weiss, a militant spokesmanfor Jewishcauses, and about 20 followers protested Sun­day outside A bdel-R ahm an’s apartment in Jersey City, N.J., demanding his immediate depor­tation.

Evidence against the sheik re­portedly includes FBI wiretaps on which the sheik talks about the planned bombing campaign. FBI

TUESDAY, JUNE 29,1993 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-3

Developer’s tax to raise $22M for NMITHE PROPOSED 2 percent de­veloper infrastructure tax will generate some $22 million addi­tional revenues as against $77 million if the 7 percent tax rate is adopted.

June 1993 figures from the Coastal Resources Management indicate a total of $1.1 billion worth of projects either undergo­ing construction, awaiting con­struction or pending the required permit review process.

A list released by CRM shows a total of $210.22 million worth o f projects that were issued per­mits and are currently under con­struction in Saipan. Rota has a $731,796 project going on in the V.M Calvo quarry project.

Major siting projects on Saipan that are currently under review and have yet to be permitted, are worth some $722.28 m illion. Projects with approved permits but are pending construction in Rota amounts to $161.3 million while those for Tinian is worth $1.1 million.

Still undergoing review and permitting process on Tinian is the $4.5 million project for the Tinian High School.

House Bill 8-14, a conference committee version of which was passed by the Senate last week, proposes a 2percent developer’s tax computed against the total cost o f any new development project in the islands.

The proposed tax was to pay for the impact these new develop­ments would have on the existing infrastructure systems of the is­lands, notably power, water, sewer and roads.

A higher rate of 7 percent was o rig in a lly p ro p o sed as the developer’s share in the infrastruc­ture burden, but this was trimmed down to 2 percent because of the worsening CNMI investment cli­mate and the recession currently being experienced in Japan and the US.

For Saipan alone, a total of S65.3 m illion can be raised based onprojects currently under con­struction and under review.

Tinian and Rota projects, on­going and pending, would con­tribute som eSl 1.73 million addi­tional tax revenues. (RHA)

r e p l a c e J A L , N i k k o H o t e lHOUSE Floor Leader Stanley T. Torres said warnings by repre­sentatives of JAL Airlines and Hotel Nikko should be taken seri­ously by everyone in the Com­monwealth.

“Anyone who says they are bluffing does not really under­stand Japanese businessm en,” Torres said.

He said it was unethical for Japanese to talk that way if they d idn’t really feel that way. “Now they are speaking up and saying how they honestly feel. They should speak out because of the tremendous investment they made in the CN M I.”

Torres, who spent 26 years in the travel industry, said JAL is 40 percent owned by the Japanese government and therefore, their statements represent the Japan

government.“W hoever thinks some other

airline will just take over is igno­rant or mistaken,” he asserted.

“ANA stopped doing business here already. They won’t come back unless they are convinced Article XU won’t used to destroy the CNMI economy .’’Torres said. “Northwest Airlines is having serious financial problems too and is close to Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They could stop service anytime and things are not improving for them.”

Torres added that if JAL leaves the CNMI, there would be a large dom ino effect on the CN M I economy. JTB and JALPAK tour packages would also be adversely affected, he said. As a result, he said local businesses would suf­fer. Also, Torres predicted that

U N ITED NATIONS (AP) -.The la test US confrontation with Baghdad appears confined to merely poisoning already-bad US- Iraq ties. But Iraq remains the world’s pariah and the Security Council is sure to press it to coop­erate with weapons inspectors.

In an extraordinary session Sun­day, US Ambassador Madeleine K. Albright briefed the council on what she called hard evidence that Iraq masterminded an alleged plot to assassinate former President George Bush with a car bomb in Kuwait.

She displayed six enlarged pho­tographs purportedly showing the intended car bomb and comparing parts of the Kuwait timing device and what she called known parts of Iraqi explosives.

Iraq i A m bassador N izar Hamdoun denied any linkage and called the US presentation “absurd” and not persuasive in any court of law.

Iraq say s eight people were ki lied in the US cruise missile raid Sun­day morning on the headquarters

of Iraq’s intelligence service, ac­cused by the United States of plot­ting and directing the attempt to kill Bush.

“T h ere ’s no sm oking"gun,” Hamdoun said after the session in which most members condemned all state-sponsored tenrorism, but stopped short of applauding the U.S. action. China was critical and called for dialogue and restraint, Britain firmly supported the Ameri­cans.

Hamdoun called on the council to condemn the unilateral US ac­tion and said the United States should not usurp the council’s role as enforcer of international peace and security.

Abright said the US missile at­tack on Iraq’s intelligence head­quarters was justified under Ar­ticle 51 of the UN Charter which authorizes a nation’s self-defense in the face of military attack. But some diplomats were skeptical o f the US rationale, saying that the alleged plot to kill Bush did not qualify as a military attack on the United Stales.

TheSecurityCouncil wasexpected this week to take up the issue again.

agents raided the sheik’s Jersey City apartm ent Thursday and seized books and documents.

Some of the material report­edly was linked to Siddiq Ibrahim Siddiq Ali and Clement Rodney Hampton-El, who authorities say are key players in aplot to bomb the United Nations, a federal office complex housing FBI offices, and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels connecting Manhattan with New Jersey.

Abdel-Rahman, 55, has admit-

ted that Ali acted as his interpreter as recently as a week before the arrests. But the cleric denied any involvement in the plot and de­nounced attacks on property or life.

Two people arrested in the in­vestigation into the Feb. 26 bomb­ing of he World Trade Center that killed six and injured more than1,000 have strong connections to the sheik, authorities say. Other suspects may have been inspired by his fundamentalistsermons, they say.

Amid the calls for the sheik’s arrest, he has his defenders.

M.T. Mehdi, president of the Arab-American Relations Com­m ittee , characterized A bdel- Rahman as a “poor old man" who has been “tortured” by FBI agents.

Mehdi said the sheik’s associa­tion with the bombingsuspects was an unhappy coincidence.

“I ’m sure the sheik trusted these guys,” he said. “I ’m sure he didn’t know they were engaged in any plot of any kind.”

the Commonwealth Ports Author­ity would lose millions of dollars and may have to in crea se depar­ture fees, meaning air fare in­creases straight from our pockets.

“JAL and Hotel Nikko bring in millions of dollars to the local economy. If they leave, no one will want to come here to replace them,” he said. “Prove it to me that someone else wants to come here. I haven’t seen any evidence of it. None. Nansay, Sheraton and other large companies have already said goodbye to the CNMI. Who wants to come here? Nobody.”

“I strongly support Article XII. I t’s intent is to promote economic advancement of local people. It helped do that in the beginning, not now the opposite has resulted. I resent the fact that Article XII

Stanley T. Torres has been turned upside down to block economic advancement and to cheat outside investors. The CNMI is the only place in the world where investors are meet­ing these kinds of problem s. W hat’s happening now reverses the intent o f the Covenant and the CNMI Constitution.”

Torres blames Article XII for the economic slowdown in the CNMI. He said Zoning could have the same disastrous effect. “We need to fix these problems before they swallow us up,” he said.

In an interview last week, Manglona said although a similar initiative was launched unsuccess­fully in the early nineties, it is very probable that the initiative may get the required signatures to include the measure in the ballot.

“It seems there is a good chance for the casino initiative to pass for inclusion in the November balloL Right now, it appears to me that the

JO H A N N ESBU RG , South A frica (AP) - Police said Monday they had arrested four right-wingers after hundreds of heavily armed white extremists stormed high-level talks on ending apartheid.

Police Major Ruben Bloomberg would give no details on those arrested late Sunday, saying authorities were still considering what charges to press.

W hite extremists set off a political storm Friday when they stormed and occupied the negotiating center where the government and most of South Africa’s political parties are negotiating a new constitution.

Uniformed white supremacists, armed with rifles and pistols, rammed an armored truck through the glass front of the building, occupied negotiating chambers and assaulted delegates and journal­ists. There were no serious injuries.

Political parties across the ideological spectrum demanded swift action after police failed to make any arrests during the incident. The attack created new problems between President F.W. de K lerk’s government and the African National Congress, the m ain black opposition group.

Police said it was taking time to make arrests because suspects had to be identified and traced from videos o f the attack. Bloomberg would not say if any of the prominent right-wing leaders involved in the incident would be arrested.

ANC leader Nelson Mandela said after the attack the few rem ain­ing sanctions against South Africa should stay in place.

Kennedy book author hits own publisherBOSTON (AP) - Joe McGinniss denounced his own publisher for suggesting that some parts of his forthcoming biography of US Sen. Edward Kennedy were “created by the author.”

A disclaimer in early versions of the book “The Last Brother” was “a reallyfoolishthingtodo,’’McGinniss said.

He acknowledged that some ref­erences to Kennedy’s thoughts were “inferred,” or that he wrote what he “sensed Teddy must have been feel­ing.”

But McGinniss said: “That falls well-within the realm of legitimate biographical licence. You can cer­tainly infer a thought process from behavior. None of these reactions are either aberrational or even star­tling or even uncomplimentary to Teddy.”

Simon and Schuster has included adisclaimeron thecopyrightpageof early versionsof thebook thatreads:

“Some thoughts and dialogue at­tributed to figures in this narrative were created by the author, based on such research and his knowledge of relevant people, places and events.”

Carolyn K. Reidy, president of Simon and Schuster, told The New York Times last week, “There are certain scenes where he has used his imagination, based on his research, to infer a thought process or even a conversation in order to give the scene and what’s going on its full expression.”

But McGinniss, in an interview with the Boston Sunday Globe, said he would insist that the disclaimer be removed in later editions.

The dispute has provided ammu­nition for critics of the book, includ­ing Kennedy’s aides. The senator himself, who’s up for re-election next year, responded with a terse “no commenL”

But Pamela Hughes, a Kennedy spokeswoman, called the biography “another example of exploitation of the Kennedy family for profit.”

McGinniss was sued by the sub­ject of his book “Fatal Vision,” who claimed the author had promised to write a more favorable book than he did. Jeffrey MacDonald, a former Army Green Beretcaptain who killed his pregnant wife and two children, was paid $325,000 in a settlement

By Andrew Selsky

IRAQIS dragged their dead from the rubble o f buildings wrecked by US missiles while President Clinton said the raid was a suc­cessful reprisal for an alleged as­sassination plot against George Bush.

Iraq’s intelligence headquarters in Baghdad was the target of the 23 Tomahawk cruise m issiles fired from two Navy ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf.

“Our preliminary assessment is that we hit the targets we intended and inflicted severe dam age,” Gen. Colin Powell, chairmian of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sun­day.

But three o f the missiles - each armed with 1,000-pound (450- kilogram) high explosive war­heads - went astray and hit near private homes, Pentagon officials said. The Iraqi government said eight people were known dead in the attack. Iraq’s news agency put the to ta l n u m b er o f know n wounded at 12.

After sunrise, rescue workers dug through the debris of build­ings, looking for survivors and carrying away the dead. The limp body o f am an was gently lowered onto a stretcher after being pulled from the debris o f his home.

For residents o f Baghdad, the attack was all too familiar. Dur­ing the 1991 Gulf W ar, a US-led coalition had rained missiles on the Iraqi capital, striking military headquarters, com m unications centers, bridges and other targets. Saddam H ussein’s troops had expected those attacks and tried to stop them with a hail of anti- aircaft fire.

But this time the attack came out of the night without warning.

Associated Press photographer Jassim Mohammed, who lives near the target site, said he awoke early Sunday to the noise of the cruise missiles passing overhead.

“It was scary,” M ohammed

said. “We did not know what was going on,butevery body was rush­ing to take shelter.”

As the missiles exploded in the fashionable Al-Mansour district o f Baghdad - where the intelli­gence complex is located - resi­dents of the capital were jolted from their beds.

“Many families were seen run­ning from their homes and there was a lot of panic in the streets,” Angela Frier, an Independent Television News producer in •Baghdad, told the British Broad­casting Corp.

Rescue workers picked through a ruined building that officials said had been the home of Leila Attar, an artist and the director of the Saddam Hussein Center for Arts.

The blast had sheared away the concretewall, exposing twisted iron support rods.

The official Iraqi News Agency said Ms. Attar, her husband and maid were killed.

Hours later, a crowd thronged one of Baghdad’s streets bearing the flag-draped coffins of some of the dead.

R obert M oore, Independent Television News correspondent in Baghdad, told the British Broad­casting Corp. that many floors of the Iraqi intelligence headquarters had collapsed in the attack.

The attack resulted in “the near- complete destruction” of a wing of offices used by top Iraqi intelli­gence officials, Rear Adm. Michael Cramer told reporters at the Penta­gon.

“It’s clear that it was a success,” Clinton said in Washington as he went to church.

As for the casualties, Clinton said, “I ’m sorry that happened but I think we had minimal loss of life and we sent the message we needed to send.”

Iraqi intelligence officers had used the olfices to plot the alleged assassination attem pt against former President Bush and other

a b o u t a r m s , t h r e a t sNEW YORK (AP) - A series of federal studies show that military officers lied to Congress about the need, cost and performance of some of the most expensive weapons built in the 1980s, according to a pub­lished report

The New York Times said in Monday’s editions that eight secret reports in a three-year probe by the General Accounting Office, the in­vestigative arm of Congress, showed the Pentagon overstated the costs of missiles by billions of dollars. Mili­tary officials also exaggerated the radar-evading ability of nuclear bombers, as well as the Sovietnuclear threat according to the reports.

Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio and chairman of the Government Affairs Committee that commissioned the studies, will discuss unclassified portions at a news conference on Monday.

Investigators said that Congress decided to spend up to $350 billion for the B- IB and B-2 Stealth bomb­ers, cruise missiles and MX inter­continental ballistic missiles on in­flated assessments, inaccurate testi­mony and misleading reports, the Times said.

The B-1B fleet is grounded by mechanical problems, and the B-2 has yet to pass flight tests.

Today, only the sea leg of the land-sea-a ir nuclear strategy d e v e lo p e d d u rin g R o n a ld R eagan’s presidency - the T ri­dent D-5 subm arine-launched m issile - works, the GAO con­cluded.

After reading the unclassified sum m ary of the report, Caspar W. W einberger, secretary of defense from 1981 to 1987, said it was revisionist history w rit­ten by accountants.

terrorist acts, US officials said.Among other developments Sun­

day:-At UN headquarters in New

York, the United States sought to rally international support for the attack. US Ambassador Madeleine K. Albright presented six sets of photographs of a car bomb and explosive devices that she said were to be used to assassinate Bush dur­ing his visit to Kuwait in April.

“Certain aspects of these devices have been found only in devices linked to Iraq and not in devices used by any other terrorist groups,” she said at an emergency session of the Security Council.

Fledgling party posts big gains

By Yuri Kageyama

TO K Y O (AP) - A fledgling party turned in a strong showing in closely-watched Tokyo city as­sembly elections, sending another signal to the long-ruling Liberal Democrats that many Japanese are ready to vote for change in next month’s national elections.

The 13-month-old Japan New Party won 18 seats Sunday, most of them at the expense of Japan’s la rgest opposition party , the Democratic Socialists. But the results were interpreted as more than just shifting opposition votes.

“Voters refused to allow the Liberal Democrats to make a comeback, handed the Socialists a major loss, and gave big gains to the New Party. This shows that voters are welcoming political flu­idity and that they want a new politics,” said an editorial in M onday’s independent A sahi daily.

The New Party could offer con­servative voters a viable alterna­tive to Prime M inister Kiichi Miyazawa’s Liberal Democratic Party, considered in danger of falling from 38 years in power.

In the national elections July 18, the Liberal Democrats also face conservative challenges from two new parties formed by former members who broke away in dis­gust with the governing party’s inability to push through reforms to curb widespread corruption.

Miyazawa lost a parliamentary no-confidence vote over the re­form issue on June 18, forcing the elections.

In the Tokyo voting, the Lib­eral Democrats won44 seats, short of a majority in the 128-seat city assembly, according to results broadcast by the public television network NHK.

That was a gain of two seats from their previous holding, but before Parliam ent’s no-confi­dence vote the LDP had been ex­pected to make bigger gains be­cause they had taken such a strong drubbing in the previous polling,, in 1989. The LDP lost 20 assem­bly seats in that election because o f voter outrage over a new sales tax, as well as sex and money scandals.

“We must repent on these re­sults for our national cam paign,” said LDP Secretary G eneral Seiroku Kajiyama.

Newly elected Japan New Party assemblyman Toshio Terayama brandished his fist in a power salute and painted out the words “money politics” on a banner in a victory celebration at his cam­paign office.

“I truly sensed that everyone wants a new type of politics, a new type of campaign,” said an excited Terayama.

The Social D em ocrats su f­fered the biggest setback, w in­ning 14 seats, down from 35 p rev iously .

NASA mulls extension of space shuttle flight

By Marcia Dunn

C A P E C A N A V E R A L , F la .(AP) - Space shuttle Endeavour’s astronauts scheduled a three-hour repair on a water-recycling ex­periment for early Monday as NASA flight directors considered whether to extend the mission an extra day.

The eight-day mission is sup­posed to end Tuesday morning with a landing at Kennedy Space C en ter. The six a s tro n au ts achieved their primary objective last week: retrieving a European science satellite from orbit.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s space sta­tion office is sponsoring the wa­ter-recycling experiment, which involves running potassium io­dide-tainted water through filters for purification. A line in the sys­tem is clogged.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman Jeff Carr said the astronauts would attempt to unclog the line early Monday. If the repair, expected to take three hours, is successful and W ednesday’s weather forecast is favorable, the mission could be extended, he said.

“If we do the procedure and it proves successful, there would be added incentive to extend the mis­

sion because there would be more time to work with it (the experi­ment),” Carr said.

He expected the decision to be made at a mission management meeting on Monday morning.

Engineers who have developed a prototype system to recycle wash water, urine and perspiration into drinking water aboard a space sta­tion want to see how well their equipment works in weightless­ness.

Taste tests already have been conducted on the ground and in­dicate the recycled water is clean and acceptable for crew use.

NA SA flig h t d ire c to r A1 Pennington said all the other ex­periments were going well inside Spacchab, the world’s first com­mercial space laboratory, located in Endeavour’s cargo bay.

NASA is renting all but one of the 43 Spacchab lockers to fly, among other things, fruit flics, miniature wasps, brine shrimp, material used in gas permeable contact lenses, and a miniature greenhouse.

Gadhafi offers to release bombing suspectsW A SH IN G TO N (AP) - Col. Moammar Gadhafi has offered to release two Libyan suspects in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 to Jesse Jackson if the suspects agree.

Jackson then would deliver the suspects to a neutral country - not the United States or Britain - for trial.

“All people know you and respect you. And Libyan people admire you. And we trust you,” Gadhafi told Jackson during an interview for Cable News Network’s “Both Sides with Jesse Jackson.”

“But we must ask them,” Gadhafi said.

The interview, conducted late last week in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, was aired Saturday night on CNN.

Gadhafi said he has encouraged the suspects to face court proceed­ings voluntarily in the United States or Britain, but they so far have re­fused because of previous military strikes on Libya.

All 259 people aboard the flight died when it exploded in December 1988 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

NEW Y O RK (AP),- Actress Julia Roberts and singer Lyle Lovett were married Sunday at.a hastily arranged cer em on y , her publicist said. n

Lovett’s band performed “An­gel Eyes” in honor of Roberts during the small church ceremony in Marion, Ind., spokeswoman Nancy Seltzer said.

actor Tim Robbins were among the guests at St. James Lutheran Church. Their 4-year-old son, Jack Henry, was the ring bearer, and actor Barry Tubb accompanied Roberts ’ down the aisle, she said.

R obb ins s ta rre d in “The Player,” and Lovett played a de­tective on his trail. Roberts and Sarandon had cameos.

Many of the guests, including Seltzer, did not leam of the wed­ding plans until late Thursday night.

Roberts has been linked to sev­eral of her former leading men, including Liam Neeson and Kiefer Sutherland. She planned to marry Sutherland in an elaborate wed­ding on a Hollywood soundstage

YOUR BIRTH D A YBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you are one of those rare and fortunate Individuals who feels everything that happens in the world around you, and who seems to know just what is going on in the hearts and minds of others. Of course, it may seem at times that this, is quite a burden to bear, and surely there are moments in which you wish you were more hardhearted and stoical. Still, your tenderness and sympathy are al­ways welcomed and appreciated by those who know you and spend time with you.

You love home and family and ev­erything having to do with them, though you may not have a family of your own to raise and nurture until relatively late in life. Still, you have the makings of a fine parent, and what you lack in discipline you will make up for in care and support.

Also born on this date are: Nel­son Eddy, singer; Antoine de Salnt- Exuptry, author and aviator.

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

WEDNE8DAY, JUNE 30

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — On this final day of the first half of the year you would be wise to look back and make any changes you consider necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You, as well as others, have the opportunity to make minor liife-alterations — but you may actually get the most out of them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Your day is likely to divide neatly into halves. The first you will not remem­ber fondly; the second you surely will!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - You aren’t likely to receive any guarantees today, but your chances for success are greater than expected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Do­mestic affairs may suddenly become far more complicated as a secret long kept becomes common knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You have news for those around you today, but you may not know just how it will affect them. Take the risk!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Differences between you and most others will be more evident during evening hours today, but they needn’t bring trouble.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Do you know just how much you can take

today before you snap? If not, you will want to avoid certain situations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Giv­ing to others will result in the receipt of that which is far more than any ma­terial possession today.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There’s no reason to think that what worked yesterday will fail today. Stay on course for the time being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Time is passing, but you may not be making the best of it. Today, you can reverse this current trend and pro­gress rapidly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — That which you have always considered most important to you will seem, to­day, even more important still.

Sobering Myth

The name of the gem amethyst is comprised of two Greek words mean­ing “ not to be drunk." In olden times, it was believed that the stone would keep the wearer sober through a night of revelry. In fact, goblets were often made of amethyst for that purpose.

opened up with a steady rain on lap 45, quickly making the track treacherous and visibility diffi­cult.

Both Fittipaldi and Mansell tried to stay on the track as long as possible before pitting to change their race slicks for rain tires, but Fittipaldi finally dived into the pits with a 10.9-second lead on

lap 48.When Mansell came across the

finish line on lap 49 he was back in the lead, 12.20 seconds ahead of Fittipaldi.

But the rain continued and Mansell finally was forced to change tires on lap 52, giving the lead back to Fittipaldi for good.

Fittipaldi, a two-time Formula One cham pion and the 1989 IndyCar PPG Cup champion, never was threatened as he drove without a hitch on the soaked track.

When the rain stopped with about 30 laps to go and the track

began to dry, Fittipaldi was able: to make his final pit stop and take on fuel and slick tires with almost a lap in hand.

The only full-course caution flag of the race came out on lap 92 when Scott Brayton stopped in a dangerous spot on the track, but Mansell was unable to take ad­vantage of the situation.

After the green fl ag waved again on lap 97, Fittipaldi stayed com­fortably in front as Mansell tried desperately to slice through the heavy traffic. Fittipaldi, the In­dianapolis 500 winner, crossed the finish line 4.359 seconds

Baltimore lost for only the fourth time in its last 23 games and was foiled in its attempt to tie the club record of 12 straight home victories.

Melido Perez (5-6) got the win and Steve Howe earned his sec­ond save.

Blue Jays 5, Brewers 4In Milwaukee, Joe Carter hit a

two-run homer and later made an over-the-wall catch in the eighth inning as first-place Toronto got its ninth victory in 11 games.

W IM BLEDON, England (AP) - Goran Ivanisevic is gone, with a scowl on his face and a bill for $3,500 in fines. But all the other favorites, and a h andfu l of longshots, remained to do battle in Week Two of Wimbledon.

Aside from Ivanisevic’s upset by American Todd Martin, per­haps the biggest surprise of thefirst week was the weather - gorgeous throughout.

Heading into Monday’s fourth- round matches, the women’s com­petition had an aura of inevitabil­ity. None of the other 14 survivors seemed capable of preventing a final next Saturday between Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova, win­

ners of every title here since 1981.But the race for the men’s title

was wide open - London book­makers listed six other players as having as good or better a shot at the crown than defending cham­pion Andre Agassi.

Agassi, one of the best serve- retumers in tennis, faced his first truetest of the tournament Monday against No. 9 seed R ichard Krajicek, one of the most potent servers.

The Agassi-Krajicek winner would almost certainly advance to a quarterfinal with top-seeded Pete Sampras, whose fourth-round foe Monday was 332nd-ranked An­drew Foster - the last Briton left in the field.

Despite his world No. 1 ranking,

Sampras is only the oddsmakers’ third choice, behind Stefan Edberg and Michael Stich, both former champions here.

Three-tim e cham pion Boris Becker also has lookedstrong. And two-time Australian and French O pen w inner Jim C ourier, a baseline player, would emerge as a serious contender if he triumphed Monday over South African serve- and-volleyer Wayne Ferreira, the No. 13 seed.

Courier, whose best Wimbledon showing was a quarterfinal loss two years ago, says Agassi’s suc­cess here last year convinced him that his own baseline style could win on grass.

“His performance here last year changed a lot of people’s minds

SO M ERS P O IN T , N J . (AP) - Shelley Hamlin birdied the 15th and 17th holes after los­ing a three-stroke lead Sunday and w on the $ 4 5 0 ,0 0 0 ShopRite LPGA Classic by two strokes in a record perfor­mance.

The victory was the third for the 44-year-old golfer and her second since breast cancer sur­gery two years ago. Her 9- under-par total for 54 holes broke the m ark of 7-under set by Juli Inkster in 1988.

Hamlin won the $67,500top prize by shooting a 1-under 70 and withstanding a challenge that at onepoint saw eight play­ers grouped within two shots o f the lead.

That came after Hamlin bo­geyed the par-3, 14th to fall into a tie for the lead with

Danielle Ammaccapane at 7-un- der. Beth Daniel, Amy Benz and Martha Faulconer were all one strokeback, with defending cham­pion A nne-M arie Palli, Judy Dickinson and Brandie Burton two off the lead.

Hamlin, who either shared or held the lead after each round, then took control at the 360-yard, par-4, 16th. She hit her second shot to within 12 feet and made the putt to take the lead at 8- under.

Benz andDaniel both got within a shot of the lead at 7-under with birdies at the par-5 16th hole, but Hamlin gaveherself some breath­ing room making an 8-foot birdie putt after Ammaccapane, playing in the group in front of her, bo­geyed the hole.

T hat put Ham lin two shots ahead entering the tight 390-yard 18th hole. She h it her drive down the left side o f the fairway and

then knocked her iron to within 10 feet to wrap up the victory.

Daniel, Benz and Dickinson tiedforsecondat7-utiderw hile Ammaccapane and Faulconer finished at 6-under. Palli and Burton were four shots behind the winner.

Daniel, looking for her 28th career victory and first since 1991, closed with a 69 on the G rea te Bay C ountry C lub course, which for the first time this week was not whipped by the winds.

Benz, who had a second- round, tournament-best 66 to move into contention, finished with a 68 in her bid for her first career victory, Dickinson had a 67 with birdies at the final two holes.

Faulconer, whose bestfinish this year was a tie for 26th, shot a 68. Ammaccapane had a 69 in her best showing of the year.

Fittip a ld i posts 2nd season winBy Mike Harris

P O R T L A N D , O re . (A P) - Em erson Fittipaldi overcam e hard-charging Nigel Mansell and a mid-race rainstorm Sunday to win the Budweiser-G.I. Joe’s 200.

“It was a very challenging race,” Fittipaldi said after his second victory of the season, 19th of his Indy car career and 74th for the elite Marlboro Team Penske.

As for driving in the rain, the Brazilian said, “When there is a situation like today, w ithno aqua­planing and pretty good visibil­ity, I enjoy that.”

Mansell, the series point leader, started from the pole and led the first 27 laps on the 1.95-mile (3- kilometer), nine-turn Portland

In te rn a tio n a l R acew ay road course, with Fittipaldi never let­ting the Englishman get as much as a full second ahead.

“It was a great dice,” Fittipaldi said. “Nigel was defending his position as hard as he could and I was driving as hard as I could. There were no tricks between the both of us.”

“We fought very hard side by side,” Mansell said. “I reckon there was only maybe an inch between us at times.”

Finally, the pressure paid when Mansell, the reigning Formula One champion but an Indy car rookie, braked too late going into the first turn - a right-hander - locked the rear brakes in a cloud of smoke and drove off course

and into some safety cones.“Itw asjustoneofthose things,”

Mansell said. “You leave it on the limit and just lose it. Fortunately, I was able to do a proper stop and didn’t get hit with a stop-and-go penalty.”

Mansell did stop momentarily in the runoff area while a safety worker removed a cone from be­neath his Lola-Ford Cosworth. Meanwhile, Fittipaldi drove his Penske-Chevrolet into a lead he heldform ostof the 102-lapevent, losing the top spot only briefly during pit stops.

The uncharacteristic mistake shunted Mansell to fourth place behind Fittipaldi, Penske team­m ate Paul T racy and Stefan

about how you have to play, even in the day and age o f guys serving huge, like Goran and Stich,” Cou­rier said.

The only man to reach the fourth round withcxit losing a set was Henri Leconte, ranked 75th in the world and plagued two years ago back problems so severe that his career seemed in jeopardy.

The Frenchman, who turns 30 on July 4, won his first title since 1988 earlier this month on grass at Halle, Germany, and has delighted the Wimbledon crowds with his reckless, net-rushing style.

His fourth-round foe was Becker, winner in eight o f their 10 career matches.

Stich faced llth -seeded Petr Korda, while Edbergplayed Ameri­

can Richard Matuszewski, a jour­neyman who never before got past a Grand Slam second round.

In two of the men’s fourth-round contests, no seeds were playing. Australian W ally Masur faced France’s Cedric Piolineinone.and Americans David Wheaton and Todd Marlin squared off in the other.

Martin was the man who ousted Ivanisevic, last year’s runner-up, in a five-set upset Saturday.

The Croatian, seeded fifth, didn’t even take a seat during the last changeover, stalked off the court and was fined $2,000 for spuming the post-match interview. He lost $500 more for throwing his racket during thematch,and earlier in the week was fined $1,000for swearing.
