whether a disaster declaration iswarranted.

"Weare optimistic we will getthe declaration," said Burkhart."It will be a disappointment if thisdid not happen."

The Governor's deputy PIOsaid Governor Tenorio has namedSpecial Assistant for Administra­tion Joaquin Pangelinan andDavid Eckert to coordinate withthe federal assessment team.

He said he expects prompt re­sponse on the requested declara­tion, possibly towards the end ofthis week.

Nakajima claimed that the teamconfirms that cases of bubonicplague have been occurring insome districts in Maharashtra Statefrom which over 1,800 suspectedcases of bubonic plague have beenreported. Sporadic cases continueto be reported.

"Active containment and con­trol measures are being applied inSurat and Maharashtra State andfurther investigation are being pur­sued," the WHO official declared.

The Associated Press reportedlast September that since theplaguebroke out inSurat, at least 52 peoplehave died, and the 400,000 resi­dents who fled appear to be spread­ing it to rural areas ofGujarat state.

In the neighboring state ofMaharashtra, the AP noted, an­other form of the illness-bubonicplague-has spread from villageswhere it broke out last August toBeed Town.

No deaths have been reported,but 90 people with bubonic plaguewere treated in rural areas, and 3 Icases are now in Beed.

The first cases ofplague in Indiain 30 years can be spread by fleasfrom infected rats or germs fromsick people, said the report.

The pneumonic plague and thebubonic plague- a less deadly formof the disease that ravaged 14thcentury Europe and Asia as "theBlack Death"- can be both curedwith antibiotics.

....

dential declaration is to beachieved.

"The group will be going out toindividual homes, interviewingaffected people, surveying publicand private property losses fortheir own estimates," saidBurkhart.

He said the team will then docu­ment their findings vis-a-vis thelocal assessments and then for­ward this to FEMA Regional Di­rector Shirley Mattingly who thenadvises President Clinton on thematter. The latter then decides,with the help of his advisers, on

sion among international travel­ers will now be relaxed," the WH 0official told Abraham.

Nakajima has initiated a num­ber ofactions relating to the plagueoutbreak in India, including issu­ing a daily situation update dur­ing the initial phases of the out­break, making a personal visit toIndia to review the situation andconstituting a WHO team to fur­ther assess the situation.

The Director-General however,emphasized there has been an out­break of pneumonic plague inSurat, Gujurat State. And this wasassociated with a total of 32deaths,

"The data suggests that the out­break was limited to a shortertime period and to far fewer true'cases than originally thought," hesaid.

Among over 1,000 cases of sus­pected pneumonic plague.Nakajima pointed out, serologi­cal reactivity had been demon­strated in only 71 by October 15th.

Serological confirmation on anumber of suspected cases is stillawaited but the current risk ofperson-to-person transmission ap­pears minimal.

Forty-one cases of suspectedbubonic plague have also beenreported in Surat, although case­records revealed clinical symp­toms frequently inconsistent withbubonic plague, he said.

WHO asks NMI to relaxrestriction on visitors

By Ferdie de la Torre

WORLD Health OrganizationDirector-General Dr. HiroshiNakajima has called for a relax­ation in the CNMI of any travelrestrictions which have been im­posed on travellers from Indiadue to the recent plague outbreak.

In his letter to Dr. Isamu J.Abraham, Department of PublicHealth Services Secretary,Nakajima stressed that after re­view of clinical, serological andepidemiological data, WHO teamhas concluded that there is noevidence of the transmission ofplague in Bombay, Calcutta andMadras.

He said a special study wasmade of suspected cases of pneu­monic plague reported in NewDelhi, including examination ofpatients and review of hospitalrecords.

Fifteen of 50 previously hospi­talized patients with asingle posi­tive passive hemagglutinationwere traced to their places of resi­dence and examined.

The majority did not revealclinical and epidemiological find­ings meeting a reasonable case­definition of plague, Nakajimasaid.

David Smith, with bowed shorn­ders and a handkerchief stiflinghis sobs, followed as the coffinholding his sons, 3-year-oldMichael and 14-month-old Alex,was wheeled from the church to acemetery on Sunday.

The boys' mother, Susan Smith,was absent - behind bars andcharged with killing her sons bystrapping them into their carsafety-seats and sending the carrolling into a lake, all the whileclaiming they had been kid­napped.

The boys' apparent abductionpulled heartstrings throughou tAmerica as police and volunteersmounted a nationwide search forthechildren. Newspapers and tele­vision networks covered everyfalse lead, and the case built to ashattering climax last Thursdaywith Smith's arrest.

About 300 people crowded intothe Buffalo United MethodistChurch for the 45-minute service,where ministers assured mourn­ers that the children were in betterhands.

"Sometimes God takes from usthe most precious jewels in life sohe can give them back to us ineternity," the Rev. Joe Bridgessaid.

remain unaccounted for since the war. Fouryears afterthe Iraqi invasion, the POW issueremains a hot topic in Kuwait. Nearly every­one we met here can tell ofa family memberor friend who is still missing. Although aUnited Nations resolution requires Iraq toaccount for all missing POWs, SaddamHussein has taken only token steps to com­'Ply.

A few hours after Dousari told his story,Schwarzkopf spoke privately about theKuwaiti POW issue-and the need to keeppressure on Saddam Hussein to account forthe missing.

"I think that's one of the big disappoint­ments of the Kuwaiti people, that we're notdoing more," Schwarzkopf told our associ­ate Jan Moller. "We surely understand theproblem of MIAs given our own tragicevents from the Vietnamera.... The differ­ence is that the MIAs in Vietnam happened25 years ago, whereas this happened a littlemore than three years ago. I think that thefurther you go along in time the tougher it isto deal with these problems, therefore thetime to deal with them is now."

FAST BREAK-Sen. Bill Bradley, D­N.J" a former professional basketball player,knows a "fast break" better than anyone inCongress. Buteven Bradley mustbe shockedat how quickly Larry Echohawk has brokenhis ties with Bill Clinton.

Six months ago, Bradley and Clinton head­lined a Washington fund-raiser forEchohawk, an American Indian who's theDemocratic candidate for governorofIdaho.Shortly thereafter, Bradley called Holly­wood star Dustin Hoffman to ask for hishelp in Echohawk's campaign. Hoffmanresponded with a check for $50,OOO-about10 percent of Echohawk's campaign warchest.

Echohawk has a strange way of showinghis gratitude. Like many Democrats aroundthe country, he's now distancing himselffrom Clinton. Echohawk recently said thatClinton ' failed almost immediately" aspresident and needs "some basic moral val­ues about what's right and wrong, andenough gumption, I guess, to stick to Harshwords from a man who gave one of thenominating speeches for Clinton at the

. Democratic Convention in 1992. A Bradleyspokesman says the senator doesn't regretraising so much money for Echohawk.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND, .

WASHINGTON - Retired Gen. NormanSchwarzkopf had just finished a round ofskeet shooting with his son last spring whena man he had never met approached him andgave him a hug. Before Schwarzkopfknewwhat was happening, the stranger planted akiss of gratitude on the rounded cheek ofAmerica's most famous living general.

"You saved my life," the man said.The stranger was Col. Mahmoud al­

Dousari, a Kuwaiti citizen who 38 monthsearlier was awaiting execution in a Baghdadprison. The scene took place at the KuwaitEquestrian and Hunt Club, an exclusivenook of Kuwait City where Kuwait's uppercrust come to shoot and ride.

In a rambling monologue in broken En­glish, Dousari told his story to Schwarzkopf.It's a story that helps explain the intenselypersona] way the Gulf War is still felt inKuwait, and the folly of those who want toease the international sanctions against Iraq:

An official in Kuwait' sstate security force,Dousari was a counter terrorism expert whoreceived training in the United States, Whenhis country was invaded by Iraq on Aug. 2,1990, he quickly found himself on the otherside of the battle lines.

He became a leader in the resistance, aloosely organized group of Kuwaitis whospent the occupation making life difficultfor the Iraqi invaders. He helped smuggleinformation across the border into SaudiArabia-using the nomadic Bedouin tribes­men who were allowed to cross the bor­der-and made intelligence-gathering tripsinto Iraq using a disguise and false identifi­cation. He even brags of helping to blow upan Iraqi airplane as it tried to take off.

Dousari's exploits came to an abrupt endon Nov. 7, 1990, when he was captured byIraqi forces. Over the next three months, hewas moved to three different prisons. Fi­nally, on Feb. IS, 1991. he was told that hewould be moved along with other prisonersto the chief intelligence headquarters inBaghdad to be executed. But just before hisexecution was to take place, the allied forcesbombed the headquarters. He and the otherprisoners were forgotten in the ensuing con­fusion. Several days later, the InternationalRed Cross arrived to secure his release.

Dousari considers himself lucky. Whilehe and his fellow inmates were discoveredand set free, approximately 600 Kuwaitis

Torres said that he consideredit a major accomplishment thatalloftheCNMI's publicschoolshavebeen accredited, and urged all oftheschools towork hardinachiev­ing the improvements recom­mended in accreditation reports.He also suggested that membersof the Legislature be included inthe school-level accreditationcommittees.

All of the CNMI's publicschools are accredited by WASC.Most recently.fourschools gainedthree-year interim accreditationterms. These four schools, whichhave earned accreditation termslasting from June 1994 to June1997,are KoblervilleElementary,San Antonio Elementary, Will­iam S. Reyes Elementary andTinian Elementary/Junior High.These four schools were accred­ited after a WASC team visitedthem in March 1994.

The other schools' accredita­tion terms are as follows:

-San Vicente, Tanapag,Garapan and Oleai ElementarySchools, along with HopwoodJunior High. These schools havebeen granted three-year interimaccreditation terms, running fromJune 1993 to June 1996.

•Marianas High School hasbeen granted a two-year renewalof full accreditation, from June1993 to June 1995.

-Rota High School has beengranted a three-year term of in­terim accreditation, from June1994 to June 1997.

-Rota Elementary/Junior HighSchool has been granted a three­year interim accreditation term,running from June 1993 to June1996.

Guerrero said that the best pos­sible accreditation award is a six­yearterm offull accreditationwithlimited conditions.

The WASC accreditation pro­cess, which involves a cycle ofschool self-studies, school visitsand follow-up visits, is designedto help school systems make im­provements in a wide range ofschool activities. The process isbegun after a preliminary WASCvisit that comes after a school hasapplied for accreditation.

WASC has visited each CNMIpublicschool, has made a numberofrecommendationsfor improve­ments at all of the schools andwillbe revisiting the schools nearthe end of their accreditationterms.

PSSAccreditation CoordinatorJohn M. Deleon Guerrero saidthatthegoal of this workshop is to"helpschoolcoordinatorspreparefor their upcoming self-studies."

school strengths and areas thatneed improvement as they matchup withaccreditation criteria.

"Theschools mustalso developactionplansfor implementing im­provements that areneeded in or­der to meet the high standards ofaccreditation," Guerrero said.

.Hofschneider to authorize thebonds and commit the full faithand credit of the CNMI to backthe bond debt service, is pendingbeforethe House of Representa­tives.

Once the groundworkis ready,CDA expects support from theLegislatureonthecreativefmanc­ing endeavor.

Several actions are needed toachieve a proper bond issuance:

-Prepare an infrastructureproject list to be approvedby theAdministration and the Legisla­ture with priorities set by senato­rial district;

-Identify the general fund orautonomousagencyrevenues thatcan be pledged to bond payment.This work may also be linked toanyproposedtax reformrevenuesthat may be set aside for infra­structure bond payments;and

-Adopt the authorizing legisla­tion for the bonds and pledge ofrepayment.

Whensuchstepsarecompleted,CDA can proceed with the tech­nical aspects of working with abondcounsel and underwriters toarrange the sale of the bonds.

Under Commonwealth law,CDAis thelocalagencythatover­sees the economic developmentof the Commonwealth.Nobondsmay be issued by the Common­wealthor anyof its instrumentali­ties without the approval of theCDA Board.

MILAN, Italy (AP) - Heavyweekend flooding cut off entirevillages in southern Europe, leav­ing rescuers struggling to reach10 trapped cave explorers andfamilies buried beneath the rubbleof their homes.

At least54 deaths were reportedand hundreds were missing.

The rain lessened somewhatearly Monday overnorthern Italy,the worst area hit, but was ex­pected to continue during the day.

Schools, hotels and even a trainopened their doors to the thou­sands of people rendered home­less.

Many people were pluckedfrom their rooftops by helicoptersor rescued by motorboat.

The flooding swept awaybridges and pieces of highway,cut off hundreds of villages andforced the closing of Nice's inter­national airport until Tuesday.

Italy's Piedmont region suf­fered the worst. Sixty centimeters(24 inches) of rain fell over 60hours as of late Sunday.

Flooding also hit the northernregions Liguria, Lombardy andVal d' Aosta, which had 3 meters(9 feet) of snow in Alpine sec­tions. Heavy rains fell over muchof central Italy, Sicily and theNaples area.

Italian officials said an army of20,000 firefighters, police andvol­unteers was deployed.

OmbrettaFumagalli Carulli, thegovernment's civil defense chief,saidthedeluge was the worst since1913.She said 32people in north­ern Italy had died over the week­end in weather-related deaths.

Opposition leaders blasted thegovernment foro lack of prepara­tion, warnings and timely aid.

"In the face of such a vast disas­ter ... anyone could say we coulddo better," said Carulli.

Much of Asti, a city of 74,000people, was under 3 meters (9feet) of water, and large areas ofthe town were without gas, elec­tricityor phoneservice.Two thou­sand people fled their homes.

Authorities were evacuatingresidents from Montalto Dora, asmall Piedmontese town threat­ened by a wall of water behind adam on the verge of bursting, theANSA news agency said.

Flooding trapped 10 spelunk­ers in a cave near Vicenza. Diverswere trying to reach them withfood and thermal blankets.

Two homes for the elderly wereevacuated in Cuneo, south ofTurin, Piedmont's largest city.Thesoccermatchbetween Turin'stwo first division teams, Juventusand Torino, was rained out.

Flooding locked up traffic onmost of the major highways innorthern Italy, where lines of carssnaked for miles. Hundreds offarm fields were submerged.

Among the victims, two peopledied near the town of Claveranaafter they drove through a road­block barring access to a bridgeweakened by floodwaters. Thebridgecollapsed andcrushed theircar, ANSA said.

In San Raffaele Cimena, nearTurin, a three-story building col­lapsed, killing a woman.

By Stella WilderBorn today, youhave a lot more

going on beneath the surface thanothers suspect. Your complexity isone of your greatest assets. Youare never the same thing to twopeople and you find it so easy totake people by surprise that youare constantly surprising yourself.It may seem to some as if you livefor nothing but fun and games, butyou have deep concerns and aneven deeper devotion to one or twopet causes which you support withvirtually every fiber of your being.Dedicated to learning and broad­ening your horizons, you are des­tined to do much for the world.Trust your instincts and developyour considerable talents.

You have a keen and penetrat­ing wit, but you always stop shortofmaking fun of those who are un­able, or unwilling, to give yousome of the same medicine. Thefact is,you enjoya challenge wher­ever you find It, be it in the profes­sional arena, in personal relation­ships, or a banter with a friend.
