The utility corporation has al­ready been ordered by the districtcourt not disconnect power with­out adequate notice. According toWingenbach, CUC has not ad­mitted that it had done anythingwrong regarding the massive dis­connection last year.

'The discovery of the tunnelsand continued searches for othersreduce somewhat their ability to.effectively contribute to a NorthKorean offensive," one classifiedDIA report allowed.

"Nevertheless, until all are lo­cated and neutralized, North Ko­rean built tunnels represent a p0­

tentially significant military threatto the South."

The DIA believes they would beused "to place specialized troopsbehind (South Korea's) forwarddefense line." In its reports, theDIA believes North Korea has a100,000 strong force of specialtroops, who would tunnel underthe DMZ or be dropped behindSouth Korean lines by air.

Military anal ysts believe the tun­nels, along with othercareful prepa­rations along the DMZ, would helpNorth Korea exploit the element ofsurprise should a war break out."The North Koreans have an ex­~ellent chance to achieve surpriseIn an attack on the south," one DIAestimate laconically observed."South Korean intelligence serviceswould probably not discover theNorth's plans before an invasion."

With South Korea's capital,Seoul, only 30 miles from theNorth Korean border, Pentagonscenarios ofa second Korean warfrequently include the initial lossof Seoul, because it is so difficultto ~efend with out adequate prepa­ranon.

Meanwhile, the South Koreanarmed forces have not expandedsimilarly. They are currently at655,000 military personnel, giv­ing the North almost a 2to-l man­power advantage.

"By nearly every measure ofrelative combat power, the NorthKoreans enjoy significant advan­tages over the South," says oneDIA estimate.

Despite the alarming compari­sons ofmanpower and armor, DIAnotes that the South Korean equip­ment is much more modem com­pared to those used by the NorthKoreans.

And the invol vement ofthe U.S.military, particularly the airpower, would cause South Koreato win any such war but estimatesare that it might take more thantwo months. The casualties wouldbe high, officials warn-probablyin the hundreds of thousands in-cluding many civilians. •

What concerns the DIA most isthe massive North Korean buildupin the border area, along the de­militarized zone. More than 8,400artillery pieces and 2,400 mul­tiple rocket launchers have beendeployed near the border in prepa­ration for a confrontation with theSouth.

Who would win a war with North Korea?WASHINGTON-Paranoid andisolated, the government ofNorthKorea continues to playa diplo­matic game of bait and switch toprevent examination ofits nuclearweapons program.

President Clinton, who hasurged North Korea to accept in­ternational nuclear inspections,upped the ante recently by order­ing deployment of Patriot mis­siles and other unannounced mili­tary support in South Korea. NorthKorean officials have called this a"declaration of war," and bothsides remain on high alert. Whileit's too early to tell which sidewill blink first, the prospects of awar with North Korea-at least inthe early stages-are not pretty.

Since 1970, North Korea hassustained a massive program ofmilitary modernization that hasreversed the balance of powerdramatically in its favor.

Highly classified reports fromthe CIA and the Defense Intelli­gence Agency confirm the un­spoken fears of the Clinton ad­ministration that a war with NorthKorea would be costly.

The Pentagon has already up­dated its North vs. South Koreamilitary strategy, which wouldinvolve the 35,000 U.S. troopsstationed there and more in re­serve. It is considering severaloptions.

At the moment, North Koreawould probably prevail in the ini­tial phase of a second Koreanwar, according to "Top Secret"Pentagon assessments our asso­ciate Dale Van Atta has seen.North Korean dictator Kim Il­Sung has carefully designed hisarmed forces to meet the specifictactical requirements of the Ko­rean peninsula.

Babauta questions closureofDNR's animal clinicREPRESENTATIVE OscarBabauta is questioning theplanned closure of a Saipan vet­erinary clinic being operated bythe Department of Natural Re­sources' Division of Animal­Healthon May 31, 1994.

In a letter Monday, Babautaurged Natural Resources Direc­tor Benigno M. Sablan to with­draw his closure order as it willgive farmers and thegeneral pub­lic a hard time in seeking treat­ment for their livestock.

"I would like to find out thejustification for closing down theclinic as publicized in your radioannouncement lastMarch29.Thisdecision will create tremendoushardship on our residents whowill have to turn to private prac­tice veterinarians," said Babauta.

According to the Susupe/Chalan Kanoa lawmaker, he isnotawareofanypreviousattemptsby the department to solicit pub­lic feedback on the proposed clo­sure plan prior to the decision.

"If thiswasnot done,l urge youtowithdrawyour order, invite thepublictocomment and weigh theinput received with other consid­erations," Babauta told the DNRdirector.

As of yesterday, Sablan couldnotbe reached for comment as he

Broadway...continued from page6

L.Sam Sofaeras Mrs. Larkfield,making the melodrama muchmore exaggerated, was one of the"best tools" in achieving the realpurpose of the play - to entertainin a melodramatic way. Despitethe exaggeration, she was stillcredible and close to "reality." Aperfect performance!

Denise as portrayed by EstelaNiedo, added color to the wholeplay. Her ways as a househelpwith her English distorted by herFrench background, served as"breathers" as the play neared itsdenouement. Though she wasoveracting as the melodramawould require her, Niedo's per­fonnance was an ingredient thatenhanced the whole presentation.

Nella Hargrave and her motherof "bad health" were excellentperformers, Linda Wiggenbachand Lisa Trousedale were neverinconsistent in projecting them­selves as minor antagonists in theplay. Their gestures and facialexpressions were enough to drawridicule and anger, and both actedappropriately.

Patrick L.Williams as Dr. HugoBelch enjoyed belching how stu­pid 'his wife was. In doing so, heprojected himself as a simpleton,paradoxical of his professionwhich should reflect wisdom andsuperiority.

Paradox of all paradox indeed.Even Cyril Bothingwell playedby Novo-Gradac, was a person ofirony yet reveals the dark side ofa disgruntled lawyer in the mod­em times.

Lana Larkfield portrayed byHeidi Ihrig, was a teener, whowas willing to ignore her brother'sjoy in life for the sake of hermother who pretended to be ill.Her childish ways in the play werethe very "thing" that made herreal actress, a duplicate of herperformance in the Diary of AnnFrank last year.

Finally, Malvern Larkfield asplayed by Gregg Kresge wasmanly-bossorned hero indeed. Asa hero, he was ideal even in rais­ing stinkweeds. A boy-next-doortype.

He was firm and perhaps insen­sitive in rejecting Nella's love yetgentle and sincere in pursuing arelationship with Felicity whomhe loved so much

The claps did not actually bringout from Kresge a professionalactor. From the point of view ofan outsider, he defines what a realactor is. Bravo to the hero!

"Caught..." was a result of sev­eral weeks of planning an prepa­ration by society members led bylong-time producerofplays AnneIhrig, the NMMS's vice-presidentand director the play.

"They're doing great. I'm verypleased," were the words of Ihrigafter last Saturday's performance.While the "great". performancedrew heart-warming responsesfrom those who watched andshowcased the talents of societymembers, it also reflected thatkind of producer Ihrig is. Con­gratulations!

"Caught..." will be perfonnedagain on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd.Don't miss it.

not do his homework. I did," saidKing.

"Right now, I could not tell Mr.Castro to resign. I can't do that, hehas already been appointed andconfirmed by two-thirds of theSenate, including one vote fromthe minority," said King.

"Mr. Castro's appointmentwent through the process accord­ing to the law and procedures, sowhat's wrong with that. The gov­ernor exercised his authority toappoint someone he thinks woulddo good. We at the committee didwhat is expected of us and theSenate voted on it," he added.

He criticized Cing's alleged"antagonistic approach" on theissue which he said creates fric­tion between their offices.

"He's chasing out the goodworking spirit among us Tiniansenators out the door. I am afraidhe may be in an unpleasant situa­tion for the rest of his term," saidKing without elaborating.

When contacted Monday, Cingsaid he agrees Castro's appoint­ment was an act of the governorand the full Senate, but that Kinginfluenced that decision by repre­senting. Castro as a Tinian resi­dent and a qualified nominee.

"He misled both the governorand the Senate by making thembelieve the guy was from Tinianwhen he is not. I know who isfrom Tinian and who is not. Iwould never get confused on that.He's the one confused," said Cing,also in a telephone interview.

He lamented that the EAGIchairman allegedly has not com­prehend the meaning of "resi­dency" yet, even though this wasthe very same issue argued by thetwo in a post-electoral lawsuit in1991.

Cing and King vied for the loneTinian seat in that year's midtermSenate elections which the formerwon.

"He lost on the.residency argu­ment in 1991 and now he's bring­ing it back," Cing said.

The sophomore senator said hehas nothing personal against Kingbut just intends to "straighten himup."

"He thinks he can do anythingbut no way, nobody is above thelaw. There's a limit to what asenator can do," Cing added.

With regards to Castro, Cingsaid his criticism of his appoint­ment is not meant to be personal.

"The fact is I admire the guy.He is very polite and I like him. Itis just very unfortunate that hewas put on the spot," said Cing.

"WhenCastro's nomination let­ter was given to my committee, itbecame the property of the com­mittee so we held hearings on theappointment. It was during thistime that Sen. Cing should haveregistered his opposition. He did

Cing said Castro was misrep­resented by King as a qualifiedcandidate to the CUC Board,when he is allegedly not, makingKing's action "border on the ille­gal."

Also, he said Castro's appoint­ment violated the statute that re­quires CUC Boardmembers atleast five years of managerial orfinancial experience.

Asked for comment Monday,Castro declined.

"At this time, I do not want tocomment about the whole thing.I do respect his (Cing' s) opinion,but this is just a political game.

David M. Cingsees as a possible violation of thelaw in "securing Castro's appoint­ment," unless Castro resigns or isremoved within 30 days.

King is chairman of the SenateCommitteeon Executive Appoint­ments & Governmental Investi­gation and Castro was a formeremployee of King's senatorial of­fice on loan from the TinianMayor's Office.

Cing-King feud continues to heat upSENATOR Esteven M. King

said Monday that the recent threatmade by Senator David M. Cingof a possible lawsuit against himfor alleged illegal and unethicalbehavior is misdirected and hasno basis at all.

According tothe freshman sena­tor from Tinian, ifthere was some­thing wrong with the appointmentofXavier Castro to the Common­wealth Utilities Corp. Board ofDirectors, then Cing should suethe whole Senate instead of just 'picking him out as the culprit.

"Mr. Castro's appointment wasapproved by the full Senate on thefloor. His confirmation was notdecided on by me alone, it was theaction of the whole august bodyso I believe Sen. Cing is barkingat the wrong tree," said King in atelephone interview Monday.

Cing last week lodged a formalcomplaint before Senate Presi­dent Jesus R. Sablan denouncingthe alleged unethical and lfnbe­coming conduct of King with re­gards to the latter's endorsementof Castro.

She conceded that the Fed'srate increases are running aheadof the forecast the administra­tion used in making its budgetestimates. She said that factorwill be taken into account whenthe administration revises thatforecast in June.

Most analysts said they be­lieved the Fed would boost thefederal funds once again by aquarter-point to 4 percent onMay 17, but they were split onhow many rate increases wouldfollow that move.

Some said the economy bythen should be showing signs ofslowing from its rapid pace ofrecent months, helping to easefears in financial markets thatinflation was getting out of hand.

'The Fed may leave the fundsrate at 4 percent for the rest ofthe year," said Bruce Steinberg,an economist at Merrill Lynchin New York. "But if theeconomy does not look like it isslowing, then the Fed will keeptightening. "

Analysts said a lot will de­pend on whether financial mar­kets steady and stop pushinglong-term rates higher. Whilethe Fed directly controls onlyshort-term rates, often its movesare based on whether inflation­ary expectations, as seen in long­term rates, are rising.

When the 30-year Treasurybond fell to a record low of 5.79percent last October, the Clintonadministration hailed the devel­opment as a sign of market ap­proval for the president's toughefforts to control the federalbudget deficit.

Paul Boltz, financial econo­mist at T. Rowe Price Associ­ates in Baltimore, said the ad­ministration made a mistake intaking credit for last year's bondrally and should not be blamedfor the deterioration this year.

Bruce Lloyd confinned that theplan is certainly being consid­ered.

Lloyd however,denied that theyhad already

the title of the position, saying"it is very early in the game to talkabout it because it is only an ideathat come up."

"The Governor certainly wantsto address the problem of drugabuse....as you know drug abusehas been a grieve concern of a lotof people inall levels,"he stressed.

He added that crystalmetham­phetamine otherwise known asshabu or ice has become so alarm­ingly popular in the Common­wealth.

DPS and Customs ofticers ar­rested five persons, including awoman, in separate incidents re­cently for "ice" possession.

However, Fedofficials said thatFederal Reserve Chairman AlanGreenspan decided to act afterconsulting other members of thecommittee by telephone Mondaymorning.

As with the moves on Feb. 4and March 22, the decision wasannounced immediately ina state­ment from Greenspan, who saidthe change should result in a"small increase in short-termmoney rates." The central bankhas been under pressure fromCongress to be more open in itsconduct of monetary policy.

President Clinton declined tocriticize the Fed for the latest in­crease in interest rates althoughhe continued tomaintain that thereare no signs of increasing infla­tionary pressures.

"What normally triggers inter­est rates going up is some evi­dence of inflation. We don't havethat," the president told reportersas he was leaving Milwaukee,where he had attended a healthcare forum.

While the administration re­fused to criticize the Fed, Demo­crats in Congress were not so reti­cent.

Sens. Jim Sasser, D-Tenn., andPaul Sarbanes, D-Md., issued ajoint statement blasting the Fed'saction as totally unjustified byrecent reports showing inflationremaining well under control.

"It seems that as the economycomes up for air, the Fed shoves itback down," the two said.

Laura Tyson, chairman of thepresident's Council of EconomicAdvisers, insisted that while eco­nomic growth has been strongerthan expected so far this year,inflation has remained docile.

"We believe that the prospectsfor sustained economic growthwith low inflation remain betterthan they have been for a verylong time," she said.

said.The source pointed out that the

Governor wants all those who at­tended the meeting to come upwith recommendations and pos­sible nominations to handle theposition during the follow-upmeeting next week.

"He is very serious about thedrug problem....it is high priorityin his administration to findmeansto curb it and notjust sitting downthere," the source said.

Aside from following the anti­drug efforts, thespecial office willsee the availability of fundingwhich is the biggest "headache"in addressing the problem.

"The person will see whetherthe DPS, Public School System,Customs, DPHES, are doing theiranti-drug efforts," the source said.

Rates hike, market plungesBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER

New post.

WASHINGTON (AP)· The Fed­eral Reserve nudged interest ratesup for the third time this year,sendingWall Street into a tailspinand prompting large banks toboost prime lending rates to thehighest level in nearly 2 1/2years.

Bane One Corp., Citibank andChemical Bank, three of the larg­est U.S. banks, led the' move to ahigher prime rate,' announcingthey were boosting this bench­mark for many business and con­sumer loans by a half-percentagepoint to 6.75 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial aver­age lost 41.05 points to close at3620.42 as nervous investors con­tinued to wonder just how highthe central bank planned to pushrates.

The bond market reacted in aneven more adverse fashion, push­ing the yield on its benchmark 30­year bond up to 7.42 percent, thehighest level of the Clinton presi­dency.

"The markets are taking thisvery badly because they see noend in sight to the Fed tighteningmoves," said Robert Dederick,chief economist of Northern TrustCo. in Chicago.

All the commotion was causedby another small, quarter-pointincrease in the federal funds rate,the interest that banks charge eachother. The Fed signaled it hadpushed this key short-term rate to3.75 percent. Analysts predictedthis would send a variety of con­sumer and business rates up aswell.

While the increase did not comeas a surprise, its timing did. Manyeconomists had expected the Fedwould wait until May 17, the nextscheduled meeting of the FederalOpen Market Committee, thegroup that sets interest rate poli­cies.

Department of Public Health andEnvironmental Services ActingDirector Isamu J. Abraham andDPHES Addiction Specialist Jo­seph Kevin Villagomez.

The source claimed that con­cerned about the drug problem,the First Lady also expressed keeninterest in pursuing the plan.

The special assistant will fore­see whether the three-prong ap­proach concerning the substanceproblem is addressed thoroughly.

The three-prong approach in­volves treatment and rehabilita­tion,preventionand education andinterdiction or punishment, thesource explained.

"While I was not involved in thedecision to conduct the break-in, Ishould have set a higher standardfor the conduct of the people whoparticipated in my campaign andadministration. I should have es­tablished a moral tone that wouldhave made such actions unthink­able. I did not," Nixon wrote in1990 in his ninth book, "In theArena."

Despite Watergate, world lead­ers have received Nixon in retire­ment as an elder statesman. He hastraveled extensively and made histhoughts on foreign policy knownthrough books, articles andspeeches.

Kapileo's trial date, for ex­ample, is October 24 and it doesnot appear likely he will be able tocome up with bail, she said.

Keeping prisoners like Kapileoin the jail under such conditions"is cruel and unusual punishment,particularly for a person not con­victed of a crime," according toWingenbach.

Wingenbach requested the DPSto either correct or provide thefollowing:

* Toilet facilities must belo­cated in the cell. Until such can bebuilt, the sewage back up prob­lem must be corrected. Guardsmust be available at all times totake prisoners to the toilet orsomeother system must be devised toallow access to the toilet.

*Daily periods ofexercise (out­doors, as weather permits). Rec­reation equipment (TV, radio,basketball, weights or the like).

* Bedding, such as matress, pil­low and linen. Adequate coolingand ventilation

* Place for detainees to haveconfidential conversations withcounsel.

* Visiting hours established forfamily and friends.

* Vermin control (rats, insects,etc.)

* Laundry or laundry facilities* Larger cell space (minimum

of 70 square feet per detainee).No doubling-up in cells.

* Access to law library, tele­phones and mails.

* Adequate emergency exits.Emergency system for fire safety.Written plan for emergencyevacuation procedures.

* Access to religious worshipor practice and provision of per­sonal hygiene items such as soap,toothpaste, toothbrush, showershoes and the like.

'The jail is in poor shape that[pre-trial detainees who are notguilty of crimes] are encouragedto plead guilty and go to [D.OCJ,"Wingenbach told the Variety yes­terday:

Wingenbach acknowledgedthat not alIchanges can be accom­plished immediately, "but some­can be instituteed immediately"such as visiting hours, bedding,personal hygiene items, adequatesewage control, even daily exer­cise by establishing a schedulewith the main facility.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) •Rapidly growing countries ofAsiaand the Pacific must spend aboutdlrs 1 billion for infrastructure tomaintain theirgrowthoverthe nextsix years, the Asian DevelopmentBank said Wednesday.

The multinational institutionsaidgovernment funds and foreign aidwould likely be insufficient It sug­gested encouraging private invest­ment to finance infrastructureprojects.

In its Annual Report for 1993,the bank said the power sectorwould require up to $350 billion;transport, up to $350 million; tele­communications,$150billion; andup to $100 for water supply andsanitation.

The bank said infrastructure isessential to economic growth be­cause it encourages investment inless developed areas, promotestrade and commerce, facilitates in­formation flow and helps diversifythe economy.

In a separate report last week,the bank predicted economies ofdeveloping countries in the regionwill grow by 7 percent in 1994and7.2 percent next year. That wouldmake Asia and the Pacific. theworld's fastest growing region.

"Ifthe countriesofthe Asian andPacific region are to maintain themomentum of economic develop­ment, they must address severalchallenges in relation to infrastruc­ture," the bank. said.

It cited the imbalance betweensupply and demand for infrastruc­ture at present and the expectedrapid growth in demand in the fu­ture.

"MY lag in the supply of infra­structure will undeniably slowdowndevelopmentover time, evenif all other factors are favorable,"the bank said.

It also said "growing sophistica­tion" and "trends towards urban­ization" will call for high qualityinfrastructure.

To meet demand, developingcountries should increase their cur­rent level of investment of 5 per­cent ofgross domestic product to 7percent over the next decade.

This means annual investmentsfor infrastructure in the regionwould be about $130 billion by theend of the decade, the bank said.

But thesecountries can no longerrely on infrastructure financingfrom theirgovernments because ofgrowing budget deficits and com­peting demands from other sec­tors. Foreign aid also is unlikely toincrease substantially, the banksaid.

The bank said the best approachwould be to encourage private in­vestment and improve tax collec­tion..

The bank said one way to in­crease private sector involvementis through the build-operate-and­transfer scheme, under which pri­vate investorsfinance, developaandoperate infrastructure and sell ser­vices to consumers at rates previ­ously agreed with government.

The utilities committee of theinfluential business group is pro­posing that CU C start giving backa certain percentage of the secu­rity deposits of those businessesthat have demonstrated goodcredit background,

According to Jones, CUC cando so by deducting a certain per­centage ofa monthly bill from thedeposit.

February with a surprise victoryat a Scottsdale, Arizona, tourna­ment. He had been off the circuitfor nearly five months because ofa wrist injury.

Agassi has made the FrenchOpen final twice.losing to AndresGomez in 1990 and Courier in1991.

A good start in Monte Carlowould boost his hopes.

Agassi will not have it easy inthe first round at Monte Carlo. Hefaces rising Russian EvgeniKafelnikov, who has moved up toNo. 42 in the ATP Tour rankings.Agassi, because of his inactivity,dropped to No, 20 but is seeded15th at Monte Carlo.

He said he has no idea what hismedal is worth or how to sell it,although he's heard rumors Chi­nese diver Gao Min once got$100,000 for a world champion­ship gold medal in'her homeland.He is considering taking out anewspaper ad or going on a na­tional radio talk show to get thepublic's attention.

"I'm sure this will cause shockwaves," he said. "But the simple'fact remains that I'm broke. Dras­tic times require drastic mea­sures. "

Ingrid 0' Neil, a dealer ofOlympic memorabilia in EastLansing, Mich., said gold med­als have sold at auctions forbetween $4,000 and $5,000. Shesaid Lenzi's medal possiblycould sell for more because heis a recent winner.

"I really don't want to doit," he said by telephone fromBloomington, Ind. "But 'ifworst comes to worst, I'll haveto. '" A lot of people ask mewhat it's like to be rich andfamous. Well, I'm not rich."

Lenzi, 25, recently decidedto take the year off from div­ing. He hasn't ruled out a re­turn for the 1996 Olympics,but his coach, HobieBillingsley, said Lenzi is ineffect retired.
