Ramos supports extradition pactM ANILA (AP) - President Fidel Ramos on Monday said he supported a plan to establish extradition agreements among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to fight drug trafficking and other international crimes.
“A tno time in the history of our ASEAN alliance are solidarity and collaborationmore indispensable than ever before,” Ramos said in a speech at the opening of the 13th ASEAN Chiefs of National Police Confereilce.
ASEAN is composed of the Phi 1- ippines, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Ramos, a former national police chief and defense secretary, warned that a recent bumper crop of 2,500 tons of opium from Indochina would mean “a deluge of heroin
streaming out to flood the drag markets of the w orld”
Philippine National Police Chief Raul Imperial said drug traffickers have used the Philippines as a transshipment poin t for heroin and other illegal drugs from Asia to US and European markets.
Ramos said the Philippines is about to restore the death penalty for heinous crimes, including drug trafficking. The constitution ratified in 1987 abolished the death penalty, but it allowed legislation to impose it for heinous crimes.
He said regional police cooperation should be pursued through inform ation exchange, police management courses and joint training against international crimes such as drug trafficking, piracy, racketeering and credit card forgery.

A r a n e t a i n I t a l yMANILA (AP) - The late President Ferdinand Marcos’ only son married his Filipino fiancee in Italy this weekend, his staff announced Monday.
Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., 35, a member of the Philippine House of Representatives,married Louise Araneta onSaturday at the chapel of St. Francis in Fiesole; Italy, his staff said.
But Imelda Marcos, his mother, said she wasn’t invited and was shocked at the news which came out in two nationally-circulated newspapers Monday. “I was surely surprised at the news item,” Mrs. Marcos said in astatemenL “In the case of Bong-Bong’s wedding, as his mother, I will pray for the best”
The groom’s two sisters, Imee and Irene, attended the wedding, family sources said.
Mrs. Marcos is in Manilafacing several civil and criminal suits filed by the government of Corazon Aquino, who was installed as president following the February 1986 revolt that toppled Marcos.
Marcos died in exile in Hawaii in September 1989. His remains have yet to be buried.
Mrs. Marcos did not say why she was not informed about her son’s wedding. Sources close to the family said Mrs. Marcos did not “fully support” her son’s choice of a wife.
The bride is a niece of a brother of Mrs. Aquino by marriage, sources said. Mrs. Aquino was succeeded by President Fidel Ramos last year.
Mrs. Marcos also said she did not have plans to remarry as was reported in one major Manila newspaper.
“I hope this is not somebody’s idea of a cruel joke because I am a widow who still has not buried her husband,” Mrs. Marcos said.

TIN IAN 'S House ofTaga, featuring huge latte stones in a park setting, is the most recognizable feature for visitors to the island.
T i n i a n c l e a n s u p p a r k , b e a c h e sACTIVITIES planned for this year ’ s observ ance of CNMI Tourism W eek (May 2-8) in Tinian should leave a legacy of cleaner parks and beaches, as well as trees and plants to beautify the island in years to become.
And if that all sounds a little too serious, you can always swing by Kammer Beach for the hermit crab (umang) and gecko races which will be a feature sporting event during the week.
A Marianas Visitors Bureau com m ittee w hich is planning events for the week noticed that local parks and beaches have no signs with anti-littering messages and a lot of liter showing the need as well. Tinian students are currently competing to produce the
best messages and the winning entries will be posted at beaches and parks by MVB staffers.
Tinian’s Tourism Week will get underway officially on May 3, w ith guest speakers from the MVB, the Tinian Chamber of C om m erce , M ayor Jam es Mendiola and other guests from Saipan.
In line with the overriding environmental theme, May 4 will be spent planting trees and flowers provided by the Visitors Bureau.
On Wednesday, control of Tinian business will be switched from local entrepreneurs to students who will learn about businesses— success, failures, sales, promotion of products etc.
On May 8, the Adopt-A-Park
idea arrives in Tinian. Civic organizations and various groups and individuals will adoptaTinianpark ' and work to develop it as a place where Chamorro culture, customs and traditions may be seen. The adoptive groups and individuals will them be responsible for continuing clean up and maintenance. The planning group hopes this will be the basis for an annual event which might be called either Culture Revival Day or Taga Day.
And about those racing umang and geckos at Kammer Beach. Entry of a pet (May 4) costs only S I, a definite bargain, but requires some extra work. Contestants will need to be dressed up, so to get ready, start weaving gecko and umang size hats and jackets.
THE UNIVERSITY Singers from the University of Guam, directed by Dr. Randall Johnson, will perform at the Joeten-Kiyu Library on April 24 at 7 p.m.
Admission is free. They will be performing Chamorro, African, spiritual, pop, fold and classical choral selections.
The current University Singers is a 35-voice mixed chorus comprised of students attending the University of Guam. The group reflects the ethnic mix of the University with students primarily of Chamorro and Filipino decent, a small numberof “Statesiders” and even one girl from Holland. This ethnic variety is evident also in the music selections.
For this performance tour in Saipan, they will be performing a wide variety of literature including spiritual, Chamorro, patriotic, classical pop and even a couple of pieces from Africa.
Although the University Singers has been in existence for several years, the chorus has been completely restructured under the newdirectionofDr. Randall Johnson. Dr. Johnson comes to the University of Guam from Seattle and the University of Washington. The new University singers has been developing a strong performance reputation in Guam during this academic year. As a newly reorganized group, they have accepted performance ven
ues both big and small in order to gain some name familiarity and notoriety.
Their most recent performances were several in April with the Ateneo Glee Club from Manila which made a lengthy stop in Guam as part of a tour to the US.
The U niversity S ingers is quite ex c ited about p erfo rm ing in S aipan and sharing their en thusiasm fo r m usic. For m any o f the singers this w ill be their f irs t tim e .in Saipan and s ince Saipan is known on Guam as being a very b e a u tiful place to visit, they are n a tu rally qu ite excited, they hope that this is ju s t the first o f m any su ch trips in the future.

need for organized development on the island to take care of environmental, economic and aesthetic considerations on land use.
“If w e’re really concerned about our island, we should pass this bill and then push for a thorough reexamination of what our island really needs. It will then be our responsibility to get the desires of
our people and incorporate them in the enacted law,” Mafnas said.
Rep. Ana S.Teregeyosaid there is a need to promote a rational pattern of growth to provide for competing land uses, to abate nuisances, and to manage all environmental resources of the Com- monwealth wisely as possible.

Retirement Fund, CUC sign $2M financing agreementCOM M ONW EALTH U tilities Corp. and the Northern Mariana Islands Retirement Fund signed an agreement Thursday for a $2 million loan to be used by CUC to pay the semi-annual installment fo r eng ines bough t from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Retirement Fund Administrator Tomas B. Aldan, one of the signatories the agreement, said the signing took place late Thursday afternoon in the presence of CUC Executive Director Ray Guerrero, Board Chairman Joe M. Taitano and Board Member Eloy Inos.
The loan is in the form of a
revenue bond purchased by the Retirement Fund from CUC to enable the firm to make current its
■ payment of the yen portion of the obligation with Mitsubishi.
The Retirement Fund loan is secured by franchised fee collections from Microcnesian Telecommunications Corp. (MTC)
MTC pays CUC $120,000 every quarter, representing 2.5 percent of the firm ’s gross revenue.
CUC contracted Mitsubishi to supply two engines for Saipan’s phase Π power plant for the combined sum of $5.9 million and 2.1 billion yen.
The dollar amount is to be paid
directly to Mitsubishi. The yen portion o f the account was financed by the Japan Export-Im- port Bank (Ex-Im Bank).
The payment of the yen portion, is made annually through an escrow account w ith K yow a Saitam a Bank Ltd. in Tokyo, which receives CUC ’ s payments.
CUC has not fully funded the required $175 million yen semiannual payment which was due on March 26.
Under the law, the fund is empowered to make loans by investment in revenue bonds issued by an agency of the CNMI. CUC, on’3 the other hand, has the power to
borrow money from any private or public source, including the issuance o f revenue bonds.
“We have approved this loan with the purpose of assisting CUC in meeting its obligations under its contract with M itsubishi,” Aldan said in an interview Friday.
The $2 million revenue bond carries 7.5 percent annual interest. with a maruritv date of Anril
Tomas B. Aldan,.15, 1998.
Under the loan agreement. CUC will make payment on the bond every quarter, with each payment not less than the. minimum sunf required to amortize the principal sumjrnd interest. (RHA)
Guerrero assures implementation of Marpi sanitary landfill projectGOVERNOR Lorenzol. Guerrero has assured that the proposed sanitary landfill in Marpi will be built regardless of the source of funding. - Guerrero gave the assurance as
he reacted to concerns that the project would be delayed because disagreement over the provisions of the lease agreement between M arianas Public Land Corp. (MPLC) and United Micronesia D evelopm ent A ssociation (UMDA).
‘T am deeply worried about the possible scrapping of this project. What I am afraid of is these people (UMDA) might get discouraged with the problems involving the landfill,” Guerrero said.
UMDA has committed to finance and construct a modem sanitary landfill in Maipi as a public benefit contribution that goes with its planned golf course and resort hotel complex in the area.
UMDAoriginallypledged$26.8 million for the Marpi landfill, including $10 million for the construction phase of the project and $1.4 million per year for its operation and maintenance for a period of twelve years in exchange for the 25-year lease of public land in Marpi for its project.
When a 15 year lease extension was granted to UMDA, the legislature included a provision in the approving resolution that would
divert $5 million from the $ 10 million original construction fund, to other projects.
To date, UMDA has not signed the revised base agreement.
“Actually we got nothing to lose here. If the UMDA project proceeds as planned, this would be a great relief for our coffers since we could get a very important and expensive project done through the help of our developers,” Guerrero said.
With the UMDA project still hanging in the air, he said the Commonwealth may be losing a big opportunity if UMDA ultimately scraps the project.
Guerrero earlier ordered the interim closure o f the Puerto Rico dump in anticipation of the start of the landfill project.
He pointed out that even if UMDA pulls out, the landfill project and the closure of Puerto Rico will still be pursued as a priority project. He said capi tal improvement funds may be used for the project.
Lt. Gov. BenjaminT. Manglona said a possible solution to the standstill in the signing of the UMDA lease agreement is for the Legislature to bring back the $5 million being earmarked for S aipan projects from the UMDA landfill construction funds.
“Maybe we could just have the $5 millionre turned and worry about
where to get funding for the other Saipan projects later,” Manglona said in a separate interview.
Another alternative is to replace the $5 million from the $27.72 million in federal CIP funding under Section 702 of the Covenant for fiscal 1993. (RHA)

World Bank sees decline in poverty
B y C arl H artm an
W ASHINGTON (AP) - Numbers of poor people should fall by the year 2000 in Latin America and Asia - where most of them live - if business continues to im prove in the United States and other richer lands, the World Bank predicts.
But in the Middle East and Africa, the bank expects poverty to increase.
The bank is the biggest source of loans to reduce the numbers of poor, lending out more than $21 billion a year. It sets its poverty line at a low level: an income no greater than what a dollar a day - $370 a year - could buy in the United States in 1985. The bank consider as poor only people with smaller incomes than that.
In the United States itself, people are legally poor even with incomes many times greater.
D. C. Rao, the bank’s acting chief economist, put the number
of poor in the Third World at 1,133,000,000 in 1990. He said that number should go down by 82 million in the year 2000 if:
- recovery in the United States spreads to western Europe and Japan in the next year or so.
- growth in the wealthier countries continues over the decade, with lower interest rates than in the 1980s.
- world trade grows faster, with ' an increased share for the Third World.
- prices stabilize for the raw materials it produces.
- better economic policies continue in the Third World, especially as seen in Latin America.
“A more pessimistic set of assumptions would halve the rate” of growth in national incomes, Rao told a news conference. “That would mean an increase in the number of... poor by about 80 million over this decade...”
He calculated that the largest number of poor in 1990 lived in

He saw the figure for the area’s poor dropping to 470 million if things go well, but only to 540 million if the western world’s recovery lags.
In east Asia, which includes· China’s 1.1 billion people, he found fewer poor in 1990: 169 million. He saw a decline in that number to 60 million, or if things go badly, to 70 million.
Rao was presenting a report by the bank called “Global Economic Prospects and the Developing Countries. It presented the Chinese area - including Hong Kong and Taiwan - as a new source of economic growth.
It pointed particularly to Malaysia, Chile and Japan as poten-- tial beneficiaries of the rise in Chinese incomes.

50% of world's population deprived of human rights
i
By C lare N ullis
GENEVA (AP) - At least half the world's population is deprived of basic human rights and subject to violations ranging from torture and executions to slavery and starvation, the United Nations said Sunday.
A report by the UN Human Rights Center said in the first three months of this year it had received 125,000 complaints about politically motivated human rights abuses.
‘This is believed to be only a fraction of the actual violations involving torture, mass executions, arbitrary arrests, lack of freedom of opinions, corrupt judicial systems and violence of all types including rapes,” the report said.
It said 5,000 cases of “disappearances” had been reported by the end of March, compared with 17,000 for the whole of last year.
Up to 1.4 billion people worldwide lived in absolute poverty and 1 billion more teetered on the brink, deprived of all economic rights, it said.
Between 150 million and 200 million children were forced to work in more than 50 countries, in violation of international law, it said.
The statistics were published on the eve of a 12-day meeting in Geneva meant to finalize plans for the World Conference on Human Rights, scheduled for Vienna in June.
The Vienna conference is meant to assess the global state of human rights, identify obstacles to
further progress, consider better enforcem ent of international standards and increase the UN human rights budget.
UN S ecre ta ry -G en era l Boutros Boutros-Ghali has described the world conference, the first gathering of government leaders on human rights in 25 years, as a “milestone on the road to a better world society.”
But the growing divide between the industrialized and nonindustrialized worlds doom attempts to promote human rights.
The W est and its new allies in Eastern Europe want to focus on civil rights like freedom of expression and to clamp down on executions, torture and detention without trial. They want the United Nations to have more powers to intervene against serious offenders.

Unlicensed drivers blamed for accidents
PU B LIC S afe ty D irec to r Gregorio M. Camacho is urging motorists to observe courtesy on the road, especially with the traffic lights and four-lane highways now in operation.
In an in te rv iew Friday , Camacho noted the poor driving habits of some of Saipan’s motorists and the large number of unlicensed drivers.
“These people are liabilities for the community. We would want to urge all our people to be more aware of the need for courtesy and safety on the road,” he said.
According to Camacho, most road accidents in Saipan involve
unlicensed drivers. Other accidents could be attributed to impatient, negligent driving.
Unlicensed driving is common among foreigners as well as minors who are too young to apply for a permit. Others observed to be more prone to driving without license are those who failed their driving examinations.
Because of die need for transportation, people insist on driving even if they have no licenses. Camacho said others simply do not care if they were caught driving without licenses.
“W e’ve been charging these people in court, but it has become
a problem because of the difficulty in apprehending unlicensed drivers,” he said.
He said an unlicensed driver can be discovered only if he commits a traffic violation or is involved in an accident.
Camacho said was considering a random license check program which, however, might cause con- gesdon on the road.
“This may be a problem to us, but a bigger problem to those drivers because they are opening up themselves to tremendous financial and civil liability. Not to mention the greater danger of accidents,” Camacho said. (RHA)

BOSTON (AP) - As the cost of a college diploma soars, some American universities are considering reducing the amount of time it takes to get one.
The idea, cutting the length of an undergraduate education from four years to three, is about to be tested by the nadon’s largest public university system and one school is ready to advertise it as an option.
“I t’s very simple,” said S. Frederick Starr, president of Oberlin College. “If I apply to Oberlin at 523,000 or Harvard at 525,000 a year, I ’m applying for a 5100,000 bachelor’s degree. If I get through in three years, I have reduced my cost by 25 percent.
“If my fourth year is spent working, my salary will equal the price of admission. Now w e’re up to 50 percent off.”
Proponents say advances in technology mean students can leam at their own pace. For some, that can mean meeting degree req u irem en ts m ore quickly.
"We. have so automatically assumed that all students should spend the same amount of time
in college,” said Stanford president Gerhard Casper. “Where is that set down in natural law?”
Advocates talk of encouraging high school students to take more college-level courses, streamlining educational requirements and lengthening the academic year.
The State University of New York already is pi anning to implement what Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone prefers to call “the enhanced productivity of learning.”
In a speech to presidents of all 64 SUNY campuses next weekend, Johnstone said he will tell them to begin testing various means to speed up the time it takes to get a bachelor’s degree.
‘Taxpayers and increasingly parents and students themselves are becoming less and less willing to pay for what learning can cost,” he said.
He has called for a conference of school chancellors and presidents on the issue this summer.
Oberlin will advertise the three- year option to entering students in its catalog next fall. At Stanford, Casper will address it in his state- of-the-university speech to faculty at the end of this month.
Actually, the time needed to get a bachelor’s degree in the United
States has been getting longer.Spiraling tuition forces many
students to take fewer than the full load of credits, or hold part- time jobs that interfere with classes. And budget cuts at public universities make it harder to get into crowded required courses in time to finish in four years.
Nearly half of all students who complete undergraduate degrees take more than four years, 1990 US Census figures show. Only 8 percent take less.
“We’ve put a number of impediments in front of them when they do this: residency requirements, prohibiting students to take more than a certain number of courses, making it hard to test out of certain subjects,” said Richard Rosser, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.
But some denounce the idea o f speeding up the college education as if it were an assembly line.
“I suppose if I had to come down on the side of five years versus the notion that it could be cut to three years, I would come down on five years,” said Peter Schweich, executive director of Boston University Academy.

MLSC seeks $70,000 to help poor clientsMICRONESIAN Legal Services Corp. has asked the Legislature for $70,000 to enable MLSC to continue providing free legal services to indigent clients.
Inaletter to Senate President Juan S. Demapan, MLSC Executive Di- rectorRonaldKirschenheiterstressed the need to continue local funding for the corporation to cope with the increase in the number of cases involving poor people.
“It is during these difficult economic times that we see an even greater demand for our services because there are even more poor people in theCNMI with greaterlegal problems,” Kirschenheiter said.
Although MLSC is an independent corporation that is primarily funded by US Congress, approxi mately one-third of its funding comes from local governments.
MLSC, established in 1970, is a non-profit legal services organization which provides free legal assistance in civil cases to eligible clients in the CNML_ Eligible for MLSC’s services, are
people who live below the poverty level. At present, MLSC has 12 full time employees in the CNMI, whose salaries are partly paid from funding provided by the Legislature.
Although the corporation has nine offices across Micronesia, funding provided for by the local government is strictly spent in the CNMI for legal services to people who would not otherwise receive help.
“The Public Defender’s Office does not handle civil cases, only criminal cases. The average hourly rate for private attorney s in theCNMI is far beyond the reach of our clients.
Employers invited to join summer youth job programTHE DEPARTMENT of Commerce and Labor is inviting all CNMI employers to take part in the upcom ing 1993 Sum m er Youth Employment Program.
The purpose of the program is to provide students with employment opportunities during their summer vacation in order to acquire work experience while earning money in the process.
Previous summer program s have shown that by making summer jobs available for students, the results have been very promising in their career paths.
It is for this reason that the Department of Commerce and Labor is requesting the business community for its utmost consideration in making jobs available for the up-coming Summer Youth employment Program.
For more information, please call Glenn Manglona at the Department of Commerce and Labor, Division of Employment Services, at 322-8711-4/4324. Monday thru Friday between 7 :30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If MLSC does not help these people, nobody else will,” Kirschenheiter said.
Under the fiscal 1993 budget, MLSCwillreceive$35,000. In 1990 it received $70,000.
“We are well aware of the budget crisis presently facing the C om m onw ealth, but our $70,000 is a very small percentage of the total budget, a relatively small appropriation that will generate benefits many times over to thousands of poor people throughout the CN M I,” K irschenheiter said.
MLSC was taken com pletely out o f the CNMI budget during fiscal 1992 and 1993 due to scarcity o f funds.
Kirschenheiter said this was also partly because MLSC was not a CNMI agency, although he said it would be up to the Legislature to reinstate whatever funding it deems necessary to keep the corporation going.
“MLSC desperately needs the funding to continue to provide legal representation to those who need it most and at the same level as in the past,” he said. (RHA)

W ASHINGTON (AP) - Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa acknowledged Sunday that he’s not sure where to turn next after more than a decade of trying has failed to reduce Japan’s trade surplus with the United States.
“I wish I knew,” Miyazawa said on ABC television’s ‘T h is week with David Brinkley.”
He said that in the past decade, Japan has devalued its currency by 100 percent to help make US imports cheaper. The country has also worked with the United States to promote imports in specific fields, such as the manufacture of cars and semiconductors.
“But still the balance stays,” he said.
The US deficit wi th Japan stands at S49 billion out of a total trade deficit of S84 billion.
“It’sbad,” Miyazawasaid.“This kind of lopsided balance... shou Id not perhaps last for many years.”
President Clinton, after three hours of talks with Miyazawa on Friday, said bluntly that he was “deeply concerned about the in
adequate m arket access for American firms, products and investors in Japan.”
But he gained little in the way of immediate relief. The two sides, agreed on a three-month period of preliminary talks aimed at setting up a framework for future negotiations on how to boost US sales of manufactured goods and agricultural products in Japan.
Miyazawa on Sunday agreed that “we d idn’t mince words,” but denied there was an atmosphere of belligerence in his talks with Clinton.
“I ’m satisfied that I ’ve been able to establish a trust and friendship,” he said.
The Japanese leader also opposed any setting of market-share targets - an idea supported by some trade officials in the Clinton administration - as a means of selling more American goods.
“Japan is in a market economy like yours. How can anybody as^ sure that business will do something over a period of time, not knowing the price, not knowing the quality, but jus t the quantity?” he asked.
N ew spapers accuse C linton of coercionT O K Y O (A P) - P res id en t Clinton’s blunt words on trade to Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa got poor reviews in Japan Sunday, with major newspapers accusing the president of trying to force Japanese to buy American.
Ja p a n ’s fin an ce m in is te r, m eanw hile , sugg ested that Clinton’s “results-oriented” approach on trade was part of a retreat in American society from the principle of equal opportunity.
The newspaper editorials were reacting to the Clinton-Miy azawa summit Friday in Washington, at wliich the US president said he was “deeply concerned about the inadequate m arket access for
American firms, products and investors in Japan.”
Clinton has also cited as a model an agreement made with Tokyo in the 1980s that set a 20,percent target for foreign semiconductor market share in Japan.
The n a tio n a lly c ircu la ted Mainichi newspaper said such agreements are “unreasonable and unworkable.”
“If we guarantee market share to the United States, the European Community will demand its own guarantees, Japan will demand market share in Asia - in short, it will become a vicious cycle of managed trade and protectionism,” it said.

NEW YORK (AP) - During the first three months of the year, IBM declared a $5 billion 1992 loss, slashed its dividend, dispatched its chairman and laid off workers for the first time.
If that wasn’t bad enough, business was lousy too.
Analysts say a combination of slumping US and foreign economies, low worker morale and questionable marketing moves handed International Business Machines Corp. another poor fiscal quarter.
Wall Street predicts a net loss approaching $200 million when IBM reports first-quarter earnings, expected on Tuesday. A consensus of 14 analysts puts the per- share loss at 31 cents, according
to Zacks Investment Research. The predictions range from a 30- cent profit to a 72-cent loss.
It would be the fifth loss in the last nine fiscal quarters for the computer company. IBM executives, including new chairman Louis V. Gerstner Jr., will explain the problems to shareholders at IBM ’s annual meeting April 26 in Tampa, Fla.
Unlike previous losses, however, the first quarter can’t be attributed to restnicturing expenses to pay for job cutbacks. Instead, analysts say, it solely reflects business weakness, especially in large computer systems, which account for about 20 percent of IB M ’s dlrs 65 billion in revenue.
Some reasons for the pessi- C ontinued o n p a g e 9
TUESDAY, APRIL 20,1993 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-9
IBM ...Continued from page 8mism:
-Moribund economies in. Europe and Japan, IBM ’s biggest revenue sources after the United States, continued to squelch sales.
-The two-month search process that culminated in the appointm ent of RJR Nabisco’s Gerstner to replace John F. Akers created uncertainty in the marketplace and inside IBM.
-Morale was weakened further by expectations of layoffs, which arrived in the las t week of March, and by thousands of voluntary departures. IBM plans to cut more than 25,000 jobs this year.
-Customers postponed purchases to' assess a new line of mainframe computers unveiled in February. The reaction was typical, but the timing of the announcement all but insured a soft quarter.
A nalysts expect sales o f multimillion-dollar mainframe computer systems to be down 10 percent to 40 percent in the quar
te r compared with a year earlier. Declines outside the United States could be higher.
“Sales cratered ,” said Jim Cassell, a vice president with the Gartner Group Inc. consulting firm in Stamford, Conn. “You really stymied the whole quarter wi th the timing of that announcement.”
Cassell said IBM could have unveiled the new line of ES-9000 mainframes as early as last fall, tausing the sales pause in the fourth quarter - when it already was guaranteed a huge loss because of $7 billion in restructuring charges. Instead, the fall-off came when IBM and investors could have used a psychological and financial boost.
The future of the huge, roomsized boxes used by corporations and governments is uncertain. IBM and other companies already are emphasizing “client-server” networks linking smaller computers. And IBM’s woes have made purchasing problems especially thorny.
“People have to justify deciding to purchase a mainframe very, very thoroughly,” said Charles Ferguson, a computer industry consultant in Cambridge, Mass. “It becomes the risky thing to recommend rather than the risk- averse thing to recommend.”
B ut p red ic tions of the mainframe’s imminentdeath may be somewhat exaggerated. Some analysts maintain sales at IBM and other mainframe makers such as Amdahl Corp., Unisys Corp. and Hitachi Data Systems will rebound as the economy recovers.
“When demand picks up ... you’re going to see a nice pop in IBM ’s revenue, and that will tend to leverage down to the bottom line, particularly since they have cut back their expense base,” said Will Zachmann of Canopus Research Inc. in Duxbury, Mass.
But for now, IBM is suffering, not only in mainframes. The company unveiled new AS-400 midrange models in February, slowing sales of those desktop computers, analysts said. Personal computer prices fell about 20 percent in the quarter, hurting profits in that segment.
Attao asks CUC for water plansVICENTE T. Attao, administrative officer of the Saipan Municipal Council, has asked Commonwealth Utilities Corp. (CUC) for information regarding plans to improve water distribution system in Precinct 1.
Precinct 1 covers Fina Sisu, San Vicente, Aslito, San Antonio, Chalan Piao, Koblerville, As Perdido, Afetna and part of Kagman.
“I am glad that improvements have been made but we need 24- hour water service,” Attao said in a letter to CUC Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero on April 12. “I
am sure that other projects, which are of less importance, shall be sacrificed so that water problem is resolved.”
Attao, who is planning to run for the House of Representatives in November under the Democratic Party, said he needed information regarding CUC’s water projects in Precinct 1 to prepare his agenda in the Legislature.
He assured Guerrero that if elected, he would fight for funding to finance water distribution projects.
Newspaper..The Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan’s
largest newspaper, said: “It is always members of the public that purchase foreign products and thus it is unreasonable for the government to dictate that people buy them.”
The Clinton administration’s tough stance over Japan’s S49 billion trade surplus with the United States has worried many Japanese, who have become used to hearing assurances about “free trade” from US administrations in the past.
Appearing on a television panel with Finance Minister Yoshiro
« C ontinued from page 8
Hayashi, Kyoto University Prof. Masataka Kosaka said Clinton’s trade stance resembled affirmative action policies in the United States, which critics say give too much emphasis to results at the risk of reverse discrimination.
Hayashi concurred, saying the American principle of equality of opportunity - which he implicitly compared to free trade - has shifted toward “valuing results.” He said Americans must confront this “big problem,” but did not go into further detail.

Tibet site of China nuclear activities
BEU IN G (AP) - China has been carrying out extensive nuclear activities, including nuclear processing and weapons production, in Tibetan areas of western China since the early 1960s, a human rights group said Monday.
The 64-page report by the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet includes eyewitness accounts of illness and death among Tibetans living near the Ninth Academy and «uranium mines. The report quoted a Chinese official as saying that the area around theTibetan capital ofLhasa has possibly the world’s largest deposits of uranium.
When scientists brought China into the nuclear age in the early 1960s, they did it at a top-secret nuclear city in the sparsely populated Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of west China’s Qinghai province.
The city, known as the Ninth Academy, designed all of China’s early nuclear bombs and was China’s primary nuclear weapons
research and design facility, according to the report.
It is the first comprehensive report on China’s nuclear activities inTibet andTibetan areas in neighboring Qinghai province that together are known as the Tibetan plateau.
The reportis based on interviews with Chinese nuclear experts, gov- emmentofficials and Tibetans, two fact-finding missions to theTibetan plateau and laboratory sampling of soil and other materials.
In one community south of the Ninth Academy, children were developing a cancer with symptoms similar to cancers that followed the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, the report said.
The group also reported deployment of Chinese nuclear weapons in at least three sites on the Tibetan plateau, prison camps near nuclear missile sites, where prisoners have been forced to construct nuclear facilities, and unregulated dumping of radioactive nuclear waste.
The group claimed that China’s
policy has been to base its nuclear infrastructure, including test sites, nuclear processing facilities and nuclear weapons production, in areas populated by ethnic minority groups. China’s best-known nuclear facilities are in Xinjiang, a region in far northwest China that is home to many minority groups.
In one community south of the Ninth Academy, -children were developing a cancer that caused thei r white blood cell count to rise uncontrollably, a symptom similar to cancers that followed the bombing o f Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, the report said.
The group found no evidence that nuclear waste from otherparts of China or other countries had been dumped in Tibetan regions.
It reported small but growing opposition to nuclear facilities in the Tibetan plateau. Villagers in 1989 set fire to surveyors’ jeeps when miners began digging for uranium in a hill sacred to Tibetans, it said.

Goellner beats Lendl to capture Nice Open Runner, spectator
die in London raceBy S a jv a to re Z a n c a
NICE, France (AP) - German qualifier Marc Goellner won his first career title by can ing from behind to beat veteran Ivan Lendl, 1-6,6-4,6-2 Sunday in the final o f the$300,000Nice Open tennis tournament
It was Goellner’s first final on the ATP Tour. He never got past the quarterfinals of a pro event before Nice. It was the 143rd career final for Lendl, who has won 92 titles.
Goellner took away $39,600 for the victory, just $3,000 sh o t of his total career earnings before Nice.
Ranked 95th in the world, Goellner had to win three preliminary matches in qualifications before entering the main draw. He got into the finals with a victory over top seed Stefan Edberg.
Lendl broke Goellner’s serve three times in the first set. At 5-1 Goellner held a40-0 lead and managed to hand Lendl the game with unforced errors that gave Lendl the first set in 30 minutes.
“I was a little nervous at the start and very shaky,” Goellner said. “I think the turning point came at 1-0 in the second set when he had a couple of break points against me and I held.”
that, then two-putted for the win- , ning par and began searching for his wife.
Their long, tearful hug - the full meaning of which only they will ever know - brought to a close to one of golf’s more dramatic m oments.
“He played championship golf under d ifficu lt c o n d itio n s ,” Crampton said.
“He is an excellent player, this will be the first of many wins for Tom Wargo. He is a great addition to our tour.”
Wargo, the owner, operator, head pro, golf course superintendent and sometimes fry cook at the G reenview G olf Club in Centralia, 111. - about 100 miles east of St. Louis, Mo., played the front side in 34. But Crampton ihrew a 32 at him, his lead was reduced to two and the chase was on: Wargo attempting to protect against Crampton, Isao Aoki, and Tom Weiskopf.
Weiskopf’s challenge, however, ended with a double bogey from the water on the 15 th. Aoki, winner of 58 titles around the world, uncharacteristically losthisdefttouch with the unorthodox putting style and bogeyed three of the last four.
While Wargo struggled, his
After that Goellner did hot lose another serve. “I started playing better and became more aggressive on my shots were a lot more powerful.”
“It is a bit upsetting,” Lendl said. “I had the match in control. I had my chances in the second set and I couldn’t take advantage of them.”
In the second set Goellner broke Lendl in the fifth game to take a 3- 2 lead and hold it for the rest of the set to even the match.
Errors started creeping into Lendl’s game in the third set as the match approached the two-hour mark in the bright sun.
After dropping behind 2-1, Goellner took the next five games to gain the victory.
“He was playing with a lot of confidence and taking a lot of risky shots and making them,” Lendl said.
Goellner agreed that he was taking more chances'than in the first set.
“I started hitting the ball a little harder and making him run a little more and I went for my shots.”
Goellner, a 23-year-old bom in Brazil, got his big serve going after he was routed in the first set. The 1.95-meter (6-foot-5) Goellner served more than 10 aces and had more than 20 service winners.
sho ts b eg inn ing to stray , Crampton applied the pressure, reeling off pars that became more and more valuable as the holes ran out.
On the first extra hole, the par- 4 16th, Crampton was on in two, while Wargo bunkered his 1 -iron approach, then came out to about 6 feet (2 meters).
Crampton left his 35-foot (10.5 meters) first putt some 10 feet (3 meters) short, but made the second and, once again, the pressure was on Wargo.
Once again he responded, rolling his par-saver into the heart of the hole.
That sent them to the par-317 th. And there it ended.
In a showdown for the oldest title on the over-50 c ircu it, Crampton - winner of 33 career titles in a pro tour career that began 15 years before Wargo even took up golf - blinked first.

SPORTSSam pras outlasts Courier in SalemHONG KONG (AP) - Pete Sampras consolidated his No. 1 ranking a little bit more on Sunday, outlasting fellow American Jim Courier in a three-set, two-tiebreaker duel to win the $275,000SalemOpen in abattle of the ATP Tour’s highest rated players.
Sampras’ 6-3, 6-7 (1-7), 7-6 (7-2) victory was his second tournament title in as many weeks, following last w eek’s Japan Open, and extended his domination over Courier to 7-2 in head-to-head meetings.
“It was a matter o f a couple of points here and there,” said Sampras, 21, who took over the top ranking by the ATP Tour last week. “Ihave alotof respect for Jim.”
Sampras, who had 15 aces, earned his only service break in the sixth game of the first set After the top-seeded Courier squandered two break points in the second set, he managed two win the tiebreaker easily.
Courier was back on the defensive in the third set, saving match point in the 12th game of thefinal setbutfinally succumbing in the second tiebreaker of the nearly three-hour match.
Sampras, who earned dlrs 39,600 for the victory, had his difficulty earlier in the week, battling diarhea on Thursday and rallying on two tiebreakers to beat Amos Mansdorf of Israel in Saturday’s semifinals, 2-6, 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (7-3).
Sampras, who had 173 mere ranking points mote than Courier entering this week’s tournament, picked up another 120 for his victory, 30 more than Courier.
C ourier advanced to the Sunday’s final without losing a set all week, including a dominating 6-2, 6-3 victory over Michael Change in Saturday’s semifinals on the hard courts of Victoria Park.
Chang, a favorite with Hong Kong fans, lost to Courier in the finals last year.
Former steel worker wins Seniors tourney
By Bob Green
PA LM B E A C H GARDENS, F la . (AP) - Displaying all the tenacity he once exerted in strong wind as a skyscraper construction worker, club pro Tom Wargo stared down Bruce Crampton in a courageous sudden death playoff victory Sunday in the US K3A Seniors Championship.
One of the most gritty, gutsy and popular triumphs in years came to an end when the stony- faced Crampton dumped his tee shot into the. water on the par-3 17th hole at the PGA National Golf Club.
Wargo, whose resume includes blue collar jobs as a steel worker, dairy farmer and assembly-line worker, won his first official US Senior Tour title with a routine, two-putt par against Crampton’s double bogey on the second extra hole.
Thevictory was worthSl 10,000 to the man with the homemade golf swing. His victory secured, tears came to his eyes in a long, lingering embrace with his wife Eileen, an indication of how much more than money it meant to the club pro to win against golf’s elite.
It didn’t come easily, though, not with the stretch run under the pressure of the most meaningful round of his life.
For a while on those treacherous, water-guarded holes Jack Nicklaus inserted at the end when he redesigned PGA National, it appeared W argo’s iron resolve was weakening, that he would fall victim to pressure.
Holding a three-shot lead with three holes to play, Wargo lost the edge and fell back into a tie at 275, 13 under par. Crampton, the Australian veteran of more than 1,000 pro tournaments and winner of more than $4 million, completed a 66 with birdies on the last two holes.
W argo, 50, who had to go through Monday qualifying to get in five previous US Senior Tour events this year, bogeyed the 16th after a pull-hook on his approach and shot 70.
Wargo, whose swing resembles the short, powerful slash Arnold Palmer brought to pro golf almost fourdecades ago, stayed alive with a “working m an’s par,” getting up and down from a bunker on the first extra hole.
Then they went back to the 15.2- yard, par-3 17 th.
Crampton, hitting first, pushed his 6-iron tee shot into the water on the right.
For all intents and purposes, it was over. All Wargo had to do was keep his tee shot dry. He did

Scherbo, a Belarussian who won six gold m edals at the Barcelona Olympics, added the vault and parallel bars titles to the all-round championship he had won on Thursday.
M iller, a 16-year-old High School student from Edmond, Okla, floundered on the beam, on o f her strongest events, and finished last.
But the American collected gold in floor exercises to add to the allround and uneven bars titles she had already won.
The American women’s team wound up with three golds, all won by Miller, and two silver medals collected by Dominique Dawes. Romania had more medals but only one gold to go with
three silvers and two bronzes.“I think we made a statement
here,” women ’ s team coach Steve Nunno said. “I have to say that the U nited States dom inated the w o m en ’s c o m p e titio n .” In Sunday’s other events, Sergei Charkov of Russia won the m en’s high bar and Lavinia Milosovici o f Romania edged Dawes in the beam final.
It was another sweet and sour day for Miller.
On Saturday, she had to pull out of the vault because she felt unwell but went on to win the uneven bars gold with the highest score of the competition.
Going third of the eight finalists on the beam, she went for three back flips and landed on the edge of the 4-inch wide surface, banging her hip on the way down to the floor.
She mounted the beam again but lost her balance and fell off again. Her score of 7.850 placed her last by a long way. The next lowest score was 9.012.
“I definitely could have done
better on beam but I feel good about the overall competition and the three medals I won,” Miller said.
“I can put the beam performance down to the lingering stomach thing, I d o n ’t know what it is. After the first fall I lost my concentration.
“I did not really know what to think after the first fall because that doesn’t usually happen to me.
Dawes, 16, of Silver Spring, Md., scored a 9.725 to take the lead with two finalists to go. But Milosovici, the Olympic floors and vault champion, scored a 9.850 to take the world title.
Gona G ogean o f R om ania placed third with 9.650.
Miller missed the medals ceremony to prepare herself for the floors final. Going last, she needed 9.737 to beat Gogean for the gold and scored a 9.787, ironically failing to beat the scores she posted in qualifying and in the allround final.
