SAIP.AN--With the opening of school just arotmd the corner, preparations are being made to adjust a shortage of teachers to the needs of the community.
Mr. Luis Benavente affirmed that although 32 teachers were needed to open Marianas High School at full strength, only 25
were available. Because of the shortage, there will be larger classes and some courses, such as agriculture, bookkeeping, shorthand and some English classes may not be offered this year.
The Principal of MHS, Hr. Benavente indicated that the majority of people who terminated their
TINIAN FUND TRANSFER VETOED
SAIPAN - On August 2, District Administrator Francsico C. Ada disapproved a bmll originating in the Tinian Municipal Council that would have transferred $10,215 from Funds allocated by Congress for community projects to the Tinian General Fund.
In his message to the municipal council, Ade
stated that such a tsansfer would have defeated the purpose of PL 5-50. This law passed by the Congress of Micronesia in its first session of 1973 appropriated 12,500 dollars to Tinian for grantin-aid projects on the island.

dicated also that they had requested assistance from the District Administrator to solve the problem,
affecting -especially Marianas High School.
Three possible solutions were discussed in an inter view with Marianas Variety The first would limit enrollment to a number of students manageable by the existing teachers. It was stated, however, that this solution would be difficult, if not impossible, politically. The second would call for delaying the opening of school until more teachers could be found. This suggestion is difficult for the reason that it would mean a later closing date, causing hardship for those teachers who are interested in enrolling in the University of Guam summer school. It would also create problems for those graduating students making preparations for going to college.
The third solution would be to utilize the staff specialists assigned to the Marianas District Office of Education as part time teachers. The problem with this is that it would curtail the on-g9ing programs people hired.
for which the were originally
At this writing, however, plans are continuing for opening school on the scheduled date of Aguust 20.
Both Benavente and Calvo indicated that the problems did not affect the elementary schools where new classrooms are almost finished and will be adequate to absorb the increase in enrollment.

AIRMIKE FLYING HI H JAPAN-SAIPAN ROUTE SCHEDULE CAB ASKED TO CONSIDER MICRO~ VIEWS IN DECISION
SAIPAN,-(MNS) The next phase in the lengthy and controversial Saipan-Japan airline route case will take place next month. On Wednesday, September 12, oral arguments in the case will be presented before the entire membership of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board in Washington, D.C.
At issue is the right of an American flag carrier .to operate between Saipan, in the Mariana Islands, and Japan·. At present the only direct air connection between Saipan and Japan is a route operated by Continental/Air Micronesia to Okinawa. Three airlines are actively seeking the new route, Pan American World Airways, Northwest Orient Airlines, and Continental Air Mike. So far, during the first two stages of the proceedings, Pan Am has been favored in preliminary rulings. Both a CAB hearing examiner and the CAB's Bureau of Operating Rights have recommended that the route go to Pan Am.
The oral arguments will be just a one-day proceeding; and thus the time allocated to each partici·pant will be severely limited. Each of the three airlines will have 25 minutes for its presentation; including five min~ nutes for rebuttal arguments. In addition, the board is making time available to the various governmental units involved, including the Territory of Guam and the Congress of Micronesia. A spokesman for Air Micronesia said the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress
have each been given ten minutes for their presentations, and represent~tives from each of the six districts will have five minutes each. A Pan American spokesman said there will be representation on behalf of Pan Am at the hearings, but could not say who would be appearing.
The CAB is a five-member body, but there is currently one vacancy on the board. Its chairman is Robert Timm of Seattle, Washington. Following the day of oral arguments, issuing its finding~ and recommendation at some later date. The entire case would then go to the desk of President Richard Nixon who, because an international air route is involved, will have the final say.
Continental/Air Micronesia recently received an indirect boost to its hopes for the route through communications from the U.S. Departments of State and Interior to the CAB. Interior Secretary Roger C.B. Morton, while noting that the department has officially remained strictly neutral in the case, stated that because of U.S. Government responsibilities to the TT under the trusteeship agreement to promote the political, economic, social and educational advancement of the inhabitants of Micronesia, the department urges that "official positions of such duly constituted bodies as the Conggress of Micronesia should be given serious consideration in arriving at any Federal decision that will affect Micronesia.
Th~ Congress of Microne-
sia has adopted a joint resolution favoring the selecting of Air Micron~sia for the route, as being the carrier that would most benefit all six districts of Micronesia.
Similarly, Acting Secretary of State Kenneth Rush has written to the CAB noting that sensitive negotiations on the future status of the TT are presently under way. "Our ability to negotiate ••• depends- in very great measure on the current perception of Micronesian leaders of the manner in which the U.S. Government respects their vie~s and protects their interests", Rush wrote. "The route case and other unrelated issues are thus, in the eyes CJf the Micronesians, 'test case ind1cative of how the U.S. Government might exercise its responsibilities and authority under the proposed future political status arrangements.
. t t " "It is thus impor an, he concluded, tthe CAB, in forming its recommendation to the President on the Japan-Saipan route case, give careful and serious attention to the views of the legislative bodies of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. This is an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government, and issue which could influence the course of the current important status negotiations.
AIRMIKE REPORT SAIPAN, (MNS)--- 1972 was a year of many accomplishments for the Trust Territory's major airline, Contine•tal/Air Micronesia. Tourism was up, the airline increased its total capacity dramatically with the addition of a second 727, and various other improvements were made in

The Speaker of the Ponape District Legislature, Itor Harris, has called attention to a problem that the Congress of Micronesia should not ignore.
Harris feels there should be representative on the Micronesian status negotiating delegation from outside the Congress of Micronesia. He likens the present method of conducting the talks to tcying to build a house starting with the roof--possible, perhaps, but hardly the best way. What Harris, and many, many others in every district would like to see is more input from the district level, and in a speech a couple of weeks ago tp a sub-connnittee of the Joint Connnittee on Future Status the Speaker bluntly asked for a reorganization of the committee to include non-members of theCCongress of Micronesia.
Now this isn't exactly a new problem. For years various Micronesians groups and individuals have asked to be included in the negotiating process. The Congress feels, however, that to attempt to bring the various factions in Micronesia--traditional leaders, district, and municipal officials,. _youth, perhaps women--into a single negotiating unit would be difficult, expensive, and impractical. That may well be, but on the otherhandtthe Congress can hardly afford to ignore the wishes of these various groups, and right now many of the well-educated elite of Micronesia feel left out, many of the district lawmakers feel ignored, and many of the traditional leaders do not know what is happening re-garding status.
I recognize that it is can, to make suggestions So I'll just repeat here for those who may have about:
presumptous for me, an .Aaerito the CongEess of Micronesia, part of what Itor Harris said, missed it to read and think
" ••• There are many in our district who seriously question whether or not eongress is really authorized to negotiate our future, especially since the 1fUestion has never really been put before the people of our district; We realize that Congress has authorized itself to negotiate Micronesia's future, but is that enough? We are fully aware that the result of your work will be submitted to the people of Micronesia for approval Ho~ever, it is feared that in the process of the negotiations certain rights and benefits may have geen compromised, in order to reach mutual agreement. We do not object to compromise, it is a very necessary part of negotiations. But we would like to be more involved in deciding what will and what will not be compromised. We realize that prior consultation _between the negotiating connnittee and the people would be costly, time consuming, and in some cases impractical but because our future is the more important issue facing us today, the time element and cost factor cannot hinder the determination of our future political status."
The Speaker then went on to question the negotiating authority of the Congress, and ask that re--organization of the negotiating committee to include non=members of the Congress be explored.

GAMBLERS LOSE OUT SAIPAN - Casinos 1n che
Marianas will have to wait until Lady Luck chha~ges her mind. But in the mean time. Proponents of an act to legalize- controlled gambling in the District introduced their measure recently after an initial veto by the District Administrator on April 2, 1973.
Public hearings have just teen completed on Tinian and Rota to test the public reaction to the idea of casinos under the supervision of the government open to tourists and qualified local residents.
On Rota, the Political Committee of the Marianas Islands District Legislature met with the Rota Municipal Council and members of the interested public. According to a report filed by the Assistant Legislative Liaison Officer, the municipal council and the audience at the heatings enthusiastically endors~d the proposed legislation to legalize gambling in the District.
Tinian joined Rota an endorsing the gambling measure in a later heatu~g. By unanilll)US vote of the Municipal Council and the 150 people attending the hearings, Act no. 10, 1973 was recommended for approval.
According to the report filed by the Assisstant legislative Liaison 6ff{cer, Tlnian is the only municipality in Micronesia where gambli~g is legal at the present time.
In related matters, Rota was against a District wide bill to establish a room tax. They felt that this area was properly left to the municipalmties as a source of revenues. The only other source of money available to the municipality is grant-inaid.
Tinian, after heated debate, came to the same conclusion as Rota, They recommended that it its 100re appropriate to have
each municipality levy its own room tax law. Tinian is the only municipality presently without a tax on hotel rooms.
The bill under consideration would impose a 10% tax on all rentals oof living space including hotels, motels, rooming houses and other types of rental units. In the regular session of the municipal council for July, a . proposed ordinanee was introduced to impose a 3% tax on hotel space.
The gambling measfire as• well as the room tax have been proposed as sources of revenue for the District.
In his earlier veto message, District Administrator Ada reprimanded the Legislature, saying: :The legislature failed to assess the public views when their act was under consideration. In an important Act such as this, there is unquestionally a need to have the views of the geft neral public.
The Distad also added that his decision to veto was his own and that he was not acting as an agent of TT government or the Department of the Interior as a "Puppet District Administrator".
Although the Distad admitted the obvious economic benefits which could result from controlled gambling in the District, he strongly implied negative social effects.
Hearings were held on Saipan recently on the same subjects and the results will form the basis of further action by the District Legislature.

t or to provide as soon as possible the reasons for the moratorium on the homestead program.
In a related move on Tuesday, a resolution was introduced in the Marianas District Legislature flatly opposing the moratorium~
Introduced by Tinian's representative to the Legislature Herman M. Manglona and Vicente N. Santos, president of· the body, the resolution condemns the secrecy and unilateral nature of the moratorium. "Whereas, we consider this ~nilateral nature of the moratorium to be a breach of good faith and the spirit of cooperation that existed between the status negotiations for the United States and the Mariana Islands District," the resolution stated.
The document went on to admit the need to keep land prices stable on the island but underscored the uncertainty of the outcome of the negotiations. It continued: "At this point
in time, it is not at all certain that an agreement on the use on Tinian will be reached, in the event that the United States should cancel the plans to put a base on Tinian, irreperable damage will result to the inhabitants who have been foreed to rely on the military base who will have lost all of the potential opportunities to develop their island ••• "
In a strongly worded conclusion, the declaration accused the US of blatently and flagrantly denying the people of Tinian the right to their opinions on what will or will not be done on their island.
Informed observers of both legislative bodies indicate that there is excellent chance that the resolutions will be passed overwhelmingly.
The moratorium on homesteading and leasing land on Tinian was ordered from Washington by the Departments of Interior and Defense according to Deputy TT High Connnissioner Peter T. Coleman.

It will · certainly not stay on top for long, Most of the.top bowlers are still biding their time, waiting until 100st of the low bowlers have had their fun. However, watch out for the llllexpected. Who knows, perhaps after several tries in as many nights, a low bowler suddenly is "on" and he shoots a fantastic high series not even he can dream of. Several pins behind EDDIE are GREG QUITUGUA and CARLOS MANUCDOC.
From past experience, I can safely say that a 525 to 550 series here would be good enough to qualify for the Aug. 26 Championship roll-off. So, get out and qualify now. Be the first Monthly King or Queen of the Lanes. It will be an honor. You'll feel like you are 10 feet high if you are the very first King or Queen of the Lanes in Saipan. What about the fair sex? Shake a leg girls and start qualifying now.
More and more bowlers or teams are wearing groovy bowling uniforms. Perfect for advertising a sponsor's name or business. They come in different colors, styles, shapes and designs. To mention a few, we see: the MIU Strikers, Shooting Stars, Mafia-Toyota, Saipan Bowling Center, D'Sextants, Joe-ten-ers, Bank of America, Air Mike, Waterfront Mariners, etc.
We still have to s·ee individual bowling unifroms with catchy or funny designs ~t the back like: "550 SERIES? NO WAY!", "I'M THE CHAMPION BOWLER OF SAIPAN (then in small letters) "in my dreams only", "NO. 1 SANDBAGGER ( showing a bowler piling up sandbags) 11 120-AVERAGE BOWLER, WANNA CHALLENGE ME?" Or maybe a design showing a drunk throwing a pin towards a set of 10 balls, or rolling a lighted bombshell with fuse.
Enthusiasm in the 8-ball tournament participation is catching fire. A lot of top cue artists or pool sharks have already signed up. We may revise the prize list a bit but this will not dampen the eagerness of those who have signed up so far. They know that being crowned 8-ball champion is no pooh-poch. It's indeed an honor. Whoever comes out as Saipan's best can be very proud because he has beaten the cream of hustlers or pretenders hereabouts.
