Audit: MVB wrongly paid Seman $150,000 By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff
FORMER Marianas Visitors Bureau Managing Director Bennet Seman will have to reimburse the government for more than $150,000 she had received from the former MVB Executive Committee as part of a settlement payment.

2-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-TUESDAY- DECEMBER 12, 1995
Soviet debris falls onto Pacific MOSCOW (AP) - An old Soviet satellite burned up in the atmosphere and its fragments fell to earth harmlessly in the Pacific Ocean, a Russian news report said Monday.
The small pieces from the Cosmos-398 fell somewhere southeast of the Hawaiian Islands on Sunday at2015 GMT (3: 15 p.m. Hawaii time), the ITAR-Tass news agency said, quoting a spokesman for the Russian Space ·center.
A previous report had said the satellite likely would fall in the southern Atlantic.
No further details were available on exactly where the debris struck. Most space agency offices were closed on Monday fo conjunction with a two-day holiday for Russia's Constitution Day; a secretary said no one was available to talk to the media.
Russian Public Television had quoted ballistic experts as
saying the fragments expected to hit the surface of the Earth could weigh up to one metric ton (440 pounds).
The Russian television report also said the Cosmos-398 satellite was not powered by a nuclear reactor but by battery. Western nations had been concerned by earlier reports that it carried a nuclear device or a reactor that could cause radioactive fallout.

Clinton urges US Congress: Avert Christmas shutdown
By RON FOURNIER LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) - President Clinton argued Sunday that last month's government shutdown was a political failure for Republicans, and pleaded for a spirit of cooperation in Congress that would avert a holiday impasse.
Republicans countered that they will not be blackmailed by the president into giving up their goals on balancing the budget.
Addressing F1oricla Democrats by satelli•e from his home state, Clinton urged Republicans to pass a temporary spending measure that would keep federal offices open while the budget negotiations continued into the next year.
The current short-term measure on funding the government ends at mid.night Friday.
"We ought to be able to agree on one thing: Nobody - nobody -should threaten to shut the government down right before Christmas," Clinton said.
Clinton accused Republicans of using the threat of a shutdown last month to try to force on him their budget with spending priorities the president called "harmful health care, education and environmental cuts." Claiming victory in the November showdown, Clinton said, "They did it a month ago. But the threat failed."
"As the holidays approach,'' the president said, "I sincerely hope there will be a spirit in Congress that will make it possible for us to bring good faith to our negotiations.'•
But Haley Barbour, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that it was Clinton who had failed to live up to his comµ1itments to negotiate seriously on a seven-year plan to balance the budget.
"If the government closes it's going to be because Bill Clinton chooses for the government to be closed,'' he said. Republicans "are
Bill Clinton
not going to be blackmailed by Clinton threatening to close the government into giving up on what the American people voted for."
The six-day shutdown last month, the longest in history, endedonNov.19inanagreement where Clinton agreed to work for a seven-year balanced budget plan in exchange for Republican promises that such a plan would con.sider the effects on the health care, education and jobs of Americans. Another temporary spending measure worild be needed after Dec. 15 because Congress has not completed work on six of the 13 spending bills needed to run government programs in fiscal year 1996, which began Oct. 1.
As the White House and Congress this week enter a third week of negotiations on a seven-year budget plan, much of the focus ,will be on new estimates to be released by the Congressional Budget Office on the economic directions tlie nation is taking.
The White House has rejected current estimates, saying they are too pessimistic, and the rosier projections expected to come out this week could narrow some differences with Republicans on the size of cuts needed to bring the budget into balance.
Poland's president-elect lied about his education WARSAW, Poland (AP) -President-elect Aleksander Kwasniewski, after having lied about his education, apologized Sunday to voters.
"I apologize to my supporters for emotions that they were exposed to during the elections," said Kwasniewski, an ex-Communist, upon returning from a 12-day vacation in Spain.
It wasn't clear exactly which emotions he was referring to, but man~ Poles were outraged at the news that Kwasniewski
lied about being a university graduate. Thousands have taken to the streets in protest, demanding presidential elections be annulled.
Kwasniewski, 41, defeated outgoing President Lech Walesa by 3.4 percent, or some 650,000 votes, in the Nov. 19 runoff elections. He will take office Dec. 23.
On Saturday; the Supreme Court ruled the election was valid but said Kwasniewski had broken the law when he lied.

Census Inisses~t·argetvdite3
By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff
THE 1995 mid-decade census has been extended by one month because of unforeseen circwnstances, including weather distwbances and the employment of part-time census takers, it was learned yesterday.
Wilhelm Maui, a statistician and field supervisor for the mid-decade census, said cens1:JS-taking should havebeenfinishedlastNov. 30, their first target date.
The new target date is Dec. 30, he said.
"It's mostly cleaning up work, though. We only have a few houses that we have not visited," he said.
Hesaidthesehousesincludethose where the census takers found nobody home.
Sometimes, some respondents found the time the interviewer crune inconvenient, he said.
He could not tell how many more houses were to be visited.
Hesaid,however, thatfuesehouses are in Susupe, Papago, and Koblerville. "The rest of the island has been visited and most of the questionnaires are in. Some of the questionnaires are half completed because half of the people are not in the house."
Maui also blamed the typhoons and the three-week tsunami alert last
October for the delay, as well as the holidays when even the interviewers preferred not to do fieldwork.
Another reason, he said, was lack of personnel. "Our target number of people was 90. It's now down to about 70."
He added that it was hard to control the census takers because some of them worked regularly in other offices, while some others preferred to work "fewer hours than we want them to work."
"We w~re hcping each one of them would work an average of 22 to 30 hours a week. Some of them don't. ... Every hour or two that they don't work or every clay that there isn't work is a delay on our expected day of completion," he said.
He cited the timing of the census as another difficulty, saying that starting last Thanksgiving up until this month social functions often take place. "This makes us difficult for us to keep everybody at home when we (visit). We have to wait for them when they get back." "
Maui also said businessmen were hard to catch at home.
"You go there 11 o'clock and they' re not there. When they finish work, they'll probably go .
somewhere else and then go home late and get up early at 6 o'clock and go to work."
He said census takers had to find out where these businesspeople work "so that we can make arrangements to get them at the house."
Maui said that despite these difficulties the rate of completion was better than in the past censuses whose fieldwork "took a lot longer."·
The census this year will have · taken three months to finish as compared, he said, with the five months in the last census in 1990.
With the census completed by the end of this month, the results will be out by early next year, Maui said. _,..._He said the central statistics division of the Department of Commerce had started coding the infonnation gathered from the questionnaires.
People who will be keying the information were already being trained, he added.

Visitor arrivals in Oct. show high 15% increase
By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff
VISITOR arrivals in the CNMI registered a high 15 percent last October, compared with the meas) y 2 percent increase noted a year ago for the same month.
October is the beginning of fiscal year 1996 and the high rate of increase is notable for what is considered a lean month.
United. States, including Guam ( 15 percent, from 6,787 to 7,809); and Taiwan (8 percent, from 468 to 504).
Arrivals that showed decreases in October were those from the Philippines (30 percent, from last year's 385 visitors to 271 ); "other areas" (28 percent, from 966 to 694 ); and South Korea (22 percent, from 9,025 to 7,052).
last October as usual were destined for Saipan (49,908; 15 percent increase over the same month a year ago).
Arrivals in Tinian showed a 7,033 percent increase from 3 to 214, while arrivals in Rota decreased by 9 pecent from 1,732 to 1,569.
The figures for Rota and Tinian included only those passengers who traveled directly to those islands from Guam.
For FY 19.95, a total of 654,375 visitors arrived on the CNMI. For FY 1996 the MVB is targetting a 20 percent increase as against the 12 percent increase noted in 1995 over the 1994 arrivals.
A 20 percent increase means there should be at least 785,250 visitors by the end of September 1996.
If the same trend as last year's, however, continues for· the rest of FY 1996, visitor arrivals should be 741,485.

Attao: Puerto Rico trip not a junket'
By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff
OUTGOING House Minority Leader Vicente T. Attao yesterday defended himself from critics of his recent government-sponsored trip to Puerto Rico, saying it was important that the CNMI be represented in the prestigious conference.
In an interview, Attao said he believes the benefits of his participation in the Council of State Governments conference could be used once he joins the executive branch as Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's special assistant for administration.
Attao, along with fellow House Democrat Herman T. Palacios was reported to have gone to the San Juan, Puerto Rico event at the expense of the governor's office.
Tenorio in an interview last week said he did not know the trip was on him.
Attao, wholostinhisreelection bid last November, is being ·eyed by Tenorio as a replacement for current SAA Mitch Pangelinan who is retiring after serving two years in that position.
According to A ttao, the trip was not an "unnecessary junket," just because he and Rep. Herman T. Palacios are lameduck legislators on their way out.
"Right now, I am drafting a trip report which I plan to submit to the governor's office. Although we're lameduck legislators, the fact remains that our terms do not end until January. So I don't think that our participation in the meeting is not important to the Commonwealth," reasoned Attao.
"I did not push for the trip. First of all, I didn't know who arranged for the trip. We never spoke to the
Vicente T. Attao
governor nor the acting governor about the trip. It was arranged by an individual whom I don't know," he added.
According to Attao he had initially no intention of joining the trip but changed his mind when Rep. Ramon C. Dela Cruz opted out.
"When Rep. Ray Dela Cruz did not go, I was asked to go. Looking at the agenda, I became inters ested. I was looking more at what we can get out of it," said Attao.
"It was not a junket. We did what we have to do with the hope that somehow, we can come up with a recommendation to the Administration. I looked at this forum as a way to get across what we want, as it involves state governments and legislators. and issues that could be important.
"But more importantly, I was more concerned about what we can do when we get to join the executive branch, specifically to impress on the governor the importance of taking a more active role in the council," said the outgoing minority leader.
Statistics provided by the Marianas Visitors Bureau showed that a total of 51,691 visitors arrived in the CNMI last October, anincreaseof6,718overtheyearago number.
October was the leanest month for tourism in the Commonwealth last year. Last month's figure, however, overtook that of November last year (49,949), which was FY 1995's 10th highest among the 12 months.
Man held for stabbing try on cop Of the total ·arrival figure for
October, 35,060 were Japanese, a 29 percent increase over last year's 21,160.
The Japanese constituted almost 68 percent of the total arrivals for October.
Other arrivals which showed increases last October were those from Hong Kong (65 percent, frdm last'year's 182 to 301); the
October was also the leanest month insofar as Japanese tourists are concerned in the last fiscal year. Last0ctober's35,060Japanese arrivals was more than that of FY 1995' s s~xth highest month, June, which had 33,646 Japanese tourists,

A 50-year-old man was arrested for allegedly attempting to stab a police officer with a screw driver in Garapan Saturday night.
Remley Owen, of Fina Sisu, was nabbed for assault with a dangerous weapon.
Public Safety Information Officer Cathy Sheu said prior to the incident a police officer reponded to a reported
disturbance at the Island Garden.
When the officer was about to leave the place, Owen who was allegedly involved in the disturbance, pushed the cop and tried to stab him.
In another police report, the Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Section is in'vestigating a reported extortion case in San Vicente.
A man complained that he was driving a vehicle when the suspect stopped him and demanded money before entering their property.
No arrest has been made. In Garapan, a 30-year-old
woman said someone stole her wallet containing $300 and other items which she left at the Commonwealth Health Center Saturday night. (FDT)

Dayton-A new word meaning hope, fear By MORT ROSENBLUM
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - A new word has been added to the Croatian language - Dayton O and by many definitions it is not fit for polite company.
Although most Croatians see hope in last month's compromises, many fear that unrealistic lines drawn coolly on a map could ignite the tidy Bosnian peace plan into a blaz.e of human emotion.
Many Bosnians and Serbians also wonder about the peace accord, which divides Bosnia into roughly equal Serb and Muslim-Croat entities.
"Noteverypeaceisagoodpeace," saidMonsignor Vladimir Stankovic, head of the Croatian chapter of Caritas. "We are glad the fighting has stopped, but what is the price?"
For Croatians, a main point of worry related to the Dayton agreement is the return over two years of Eastern Slavonia and its symbolic capital, Vukovar, which Serb artillery leveled in November 1991.
If implementation was not under way within three months, a ranking general warned, Croatia would consider sending in its armed forces.
Another flash point is the Posavina corridor, rich Bosnian fannland settled mostly by Croats, was internationalized to widen the Bosnian Serbs' access from the Drina River to western areas.
That issue recently brought thousands of Croatians into the streets, chanting, "Tudjman traitor,'' to protest concessions made in Dayton, Ohio, by President Franjo Tudjman.
There is also Prevlaka, the long contested peninsula below D11brovnik at the tip of Croatia near Montenegro. Like Posavina and eastern Slavonia, it was left in Serb hands in the compromises Tudjman - and the Serbs and Bosnians - had to make in Dayton.
For many, dissent over Dayton is more emotional than geopolitical.
"Dayton means the Serbs won,'' a man named Dejan grumbled at the outdoor market stall where he sold the gilded branches and devil dolls that Croatian parents give to bad kids on Christmas.
He preferred to speak harshly and not give his last name.
"The Serbs get to keep half of Bosnia, territory they seized by force.:' he said. "It's not right. The war criminals will not be punished. The Croatian army should have finished the job.''
The opinions do not necessarily jibe with the facts, and, on the other side, most Serbs think the Croats won because the war ended up removing the Serb minority which lived in Croatia for centuries. Tudjman himself made some of the compromises well before Dayton, diplomats say, but, after so much war, facts do not outweigh opinion.
Maja Karavanic, an out-of-work fa.shion designer, hoped that Dayton would fulfill its prom-
ise, but she was skeptical. "This plan was written by politicians, without
emotion,'' she said. "But after all that was happened, people have the right to be very
emotional. People must be able to clear away their anger."
Ivan Ivanic, a painter, stirred his morning coffee thoughtfully when asked to define "'Dayton' ' in a crowded Zagreb cafe.
"There is the positive side, that it may mean peace," he said. "But there are the negatives, such as what will happen when NATO goes away. This will not be settled so easily."
His friend, Miroslav Strohal, who deals in ceramic art, added: "The majority of Croats want a united Bosnia, but this leaves a divided Bosnia.''
A captain in the Bosnian Croat militia, freezing in camouflage as he eyed warm flannel training suits in a shopwindow, spat out his definition of Dayton. The Serbs were on the run, he s.aid. Why stop?
A cleaning woman huddled in a doorway said far too many people had died, and it was time to stop. If Dayton could do it, she would thank God. Meantime, she was waiting to see.
Across a broad slice of life, Dayton was defined most often by a single word: hope. Yet almost everyone interviewed added misgivings.
Many Croatians had specific definitions in mind. For Ciril Kos, the Roman Catholic bishop of Eastern Slavonia, Dayton pro~sed the hope of finally retrieving his scattered flock.
"We have 36 Catholic dioceses and only one priest," he said, "and I have not been there in four years. For the reports I receive, it is very hard on the people trapped there."
Asked when he thought he would return, the bishop made an equivocal gesture with his left hand and forced a little laugh. "It won't be before Christmas,'' he said.
When asked which Christmas, he laughed again, bitterly, and shrugged.
Monsignor Stankovic, who was translating, explained that Croatians in Eastern Slavonia feared that Russian peacekeepers earmarked for the area might favor Serbs, their historic allies.
NATO strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity said it was unlikely that U.S. troops would patrol Eastern Slavonia, as Croatians hoped. And conflict there would endanger the entire plan.
For other Croatians, Dayton is no more than a desperate hope that a long nightmare in real time would finally come to an end.
At a shrine to the Virgin Mary among the old stones of Zagreb's Upper Town, Anna Varovic cleaned up the wax from a bonfire of blazing candles. She reads no papers and watches no TV, but she knows Dayton.

REPRESENTATIVE Pete P. Reyes yesterday called on Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio to abandon his bid to legalize casino gaming and instead concentrate on ways to cut back on government spending.

In an interview yesterday, Reyes recommended that the governor star't saving badlyneeded funds by firing his "pricey consultants" if he intends to realize more money to use in fiscal year 1996.
He also urged the governor to cl<Yse down the CNMI Office in Manila if he is serious about working in harmony with the Legislature.
"Well, I received information that there appears to be a last-ditched attempt by the Ad-

ministration to make a desperate push for the casino gaming bill. It appears that I am also being counted as one who may possibly lean to-
wards supporting casinos," said Reyes.
"I want to make it absolutely, unequivocally clear, as clear as crystal that I am not going to support casino legalization unless God himself comes down and tells me that it would be the only way to raise revenues," he added.
Reyes said he has received information purporting that there are now enough votes in the House to pass the casino bill.
Although not sure where tht! rumor comes from, Reyes came up with an assurance that there is not enough votes to push the bill in the House.

MHS, Hopwood may be first to have metal detectors
By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff
MARIANAS High School and Hopwood Junior High, the the two biggest secondary schools in the CNMI, may be the first public buildings to have metal detectors, according to Board of Education Chairman Daniel Quitugua.
"It appears that these two schools are prone to the types of event that we've seen in the past. So we seriously consider having detectors in these two schools," Quitugua said in an interview.
The proposal to install metal detectors in public schools came following the stabbing incident at Hopwood involving a 15-yearold student two weeks ago.
Weeks before this incident, three students were arrested at the Marianas High School for carrying a handgun.
"Campus violence is becoming a critical issue.,'' Quitugua said. "The board has to address the
issue of students' safety but we will also have to explore mechanism other than installation of metal detectors."
The education board will meet Friday to ·tackle the proposal, Quitugua said.
Quitugua said the education agency has not received any comment from parents since the proposal was made public.
Education officials have admitted the idea is like! y to spark legal controversy. No other building in the CNMI, except the Horiguchi, has a metal detector.
"We hope they (parents) give us a call and present their recommendation. We welcome other suggestions," Quitugua said.
A positive response came from Women's Affairs Office executive director Remy Sablan.
Sablan, who is also a member of the PT A Council, has volunteered to organize a parents' committee at Hopwood that will de-

galization in the Ninth Legislature, and I give my word that even in the Tenth, there will be no such bill.
"So I think the governor should accept the fact that casinos will not be approved. He should now concentrate on prudent financial constraint and he can start by closing down the Manila ·office and firing all his consultants, beginning with David Cahn all the way down," said Reyes.
According to Reyes, he sees the continued operation of the CNMI office in Manila as an unnecessary expense that needs to be stopped as it has never been funded.
Reyes also criticized Tenorio for his appointment of current Deputy Public Information Officer Kurt Burkhart as special assistant for trade and tourism, saying the new office duplicates the function of both the Marianas
Anicia TomokaneatMVB and Mr. Pete Dela Cruz at Commerce so we don't need Burkhart. The new position is an accommodation to the guy. I am talking as a citizen now. I think my tax money should not go to Burkhart but to medical referral or to scholarship and let's start showing some signs of conciliation as what the governor has been saying," says Reyes.
Tenorio in an interview last week said he needs some $30 million more to spend in fiscal year 1996 apart from the already approved $212 million government budget.
He pointed to the approval of casino gaming as the only viable source for the additional appropriation.
According to Reyes, Tenorio is making a desperate push for casinos knowing that such a bid would have a harder time in the Tenth Legislature if it does not get approved in the current House.
"That is how I see it because some of the defeated legislators have nothing to lose anymore," said Reyes.
The Ways and Means chairman further expressed outrage at how the governor has allegedly continued to defy public opinion against casinos when the more logical approach after last November's democratic debacle was to be more responsive to the people's · will.

NYC Token Clerk Dies After Subway Fire Attack
By LARRY NEUMEISTER NEW YORK (AP) - A subway token clerk died after a two-week struggle to recover from severe burns suffered in a botched robbery that was a virtual replay of a scene from a movie.
Harry Kaufman, 50, had been in critical condition since suffering second- and thirddegree burns over 80 percent of his body on Nov. 26. He died Sunday.
"He was fighting for his life, but unfortunately this morning he lost that battle,"• said Transit Authority spokesman Termaine Garden. "His chances were never that great to begin with."
"This was a very, very severe injury,'' said Myrna Manners, spokeswoman for New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.
Two men squirted a flammable liquid into Kaufman's token booth and ignited it, causing a fire and explosion that demolished the enclosed booth and left Kaufman ',rith burns and injuries from inhaling fire. There have been no arrests.
"Money Train," starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, twice depicts a pyromaniac squirting gas into a
token booth and lighting it, but in the movie the clerks escape unharmed.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and police laid some of the blame for the attack on the movie, but transit officials say there were at least nine· such attacks in the five years before the movie's release.
Kaufman's death came a day after a similar robbery attempt in another subway station. This time, a clerk escaped injury thanks to an automatic fire-extinguishing system in the booth.
The extinguisher worked Sunday as well, when a man tossing a match into a booth in another station and fled. No one 'Vas injured.
There have been two other recent attacks. On Nov. 27, a man lit a match and demanded money from a clerk but fled when the clerk ignored him. On Nov. 28, a homeless man apparently upset that a token clerk would not exchange his token for cash squirted lighter fluid into the booth but fled without igniiing it.
When he was attacked, Kaufman, a 22-year Transit Authority employee, was working overtime to save money to send his son to college.

As for the Board's extension of Seman's term, OPA said this "was unauthorized because, of the eight board members at the time, the term of office of six would be expiring between May 7, 1994 and January 1995 and the other two in January 1997."
OPA noted that "only two of the board members would still be serving at the effective date of the new employment contract and those two also resigned in 1994."
OPA report goes on: "The Board failed to recognize the limitation on its authority; that it cannot bind its successor board to an employment contract which extends beyond its term of .Qffice because such extension improperly restricts the future board's authority to manage the affairs of MVB."
Upon OPA's recommendation, the MVB under Anicia Tomokane's present administration "has authorized its managing director and legal · counsel to coordinate recovery of the funds with the Attorney General's Office."

laboratories. Coleman claimed that Genelex
has been an accredited DNA parentage laboratory since 1992.
He said DNA testing is the most conclusive means by which a putative child can determine paternity.
Moncrieff submitted to the court Coleman's affidavit in support of their motion seeking deposition testimony and inspection of documents and other things to be pro-
duced by Terry Hillblom and Helen Anderson, Hillblom's brother and mother respectively.
Meanwhile, John Moore, counsel for executor Bank of Saipan, also filed a motion.last week asking the court to deny Moncrieff s petition for declaratory judgment of paternity and heirship.
Moore said the claim of Jane Doe is barred as such claim was not filed within 60 days of the date of the first publication notice
to creditors. Last week, Presiding Judge
Alexandro Castro denied to declare Moncrieff as an interested party in Hillblom's estate pending further submissions of additional documents related to their claim.
Only interested parties can participate in the DNA test and the proceedings conducted by Special Master Rexford C. Kosack. over the estate.
Young generation's education intimidates some parents
By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff
THE HIGHER education attained by the young generation tends to "intimidate" some parents who are "not as educated."
This gives some parents a "feeling of inadequacy" which keeps them from participating in school activities, according to Board of Education chairman Daniel Quitugua.
These observations were pointed out by members of the newly created Committee for Parental Involvement during yesterday's meeting at the Hyatt Hotel.
The committee , composed of Public School System officials and PT A officers, discussed ways by which parental involvement in academic activities can be strengthened.
Parental involvement in education is one of the components of the PSS Education Goals 2000.
"One observation that was
raised at the meeting was that some parents do not want to come to the schools because they feel that academic places are threatening to them," Quitugua said in an interview.
"Some parents in the community are not as educated as the young generation and the fact that their children have gone through more formal education than themselves intimidates them," he added.
As a result, Quitugua said, these parents "feel inadequate and not academically prepared to deal with the children's academic issues."
One of the goals of the committee, Quitugua said, is to "make schools less intimidating and convince parents to take part in giving education to their children."
Another factor that keeps parents from attending school meetings, Quitugua said, is "the demand of the parents' employment."
"Many parents want to be
Daniel Quitugua
physically present in schools but they do not want to jeopardize their employment," Quitugua said.
The committee, according to Quitug\la, is tasked to formulate policies that would re-• solve all conflicts that hamper parental participation in academic activities.

Stricter entry for RP maids in Israel ISRAEL's labor depamnent has recommended stricter measures for issuing work permits to Filipino maids aftermost of the requests from wealthy families for "caregivers" for sick relatives were found to be fictitious, the Pnilippine bepartment of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Friday.

Central Bank optimistic THE Central Bank of the Philippines is optimistic it could still bridge the difference in the country's gross international reserves (GIR) to attain the projected $8.2 billion target for the whole year.
Sources at the CBP pointed out that the Central bank is still keeping its fingers crossed to raise the $600 million foreign funds before the year ends.
As of Nov. 17 this year, the GIR amounted to only $7,559 billion, equivalent to about 2. 7 months of imports and about $600 million less of the targeted GIR for 1995.
At present, GIR is considered one of the main concerns of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with which the country has a three-year fund facility program. (Chronicle)

Suspect in Okina-wa rape apologizes
By MARI YAMAGUCHI NAHA, Japan (AP) . One of the three U.S. servicemen accused. of raping a 12-year-old girl apologized '."1onday in a Japanese cowt, saying ma trembling voice, ''I'm sorry for the outrage I've caused" . ~utMarinePfc. RodricoHarp,21, lnSIS~ that he did not actually rape ~ girl, although he admitted to helpmg atxlucther and binding her wrists with tape.
A lawyer for Harp, meanwhile, demanded that the trial be moved elsewhere in Japan, saying the three men could not get a fair trial in Okinawa, where the rape took place.
1:he case has sparked outrage against the U.S. bases on Okinawa, the site of one of World War II's bloodiest battles and a key U.S. bastion in the Pacific for 50 years.
In Monday's ~ion, the third so far, Harp repeated his claim that he was forced to confess to rape by U.S. investigators. He said he was told he would face a stiff sentence wtless he confessed
But Harp apologized to the girl and her family for his role.
''I'm sorry for the outrage I've caused Forgive me for what we've done. What we did was very stupid," said Harp, his,voice choking as ifhe were crying, before the N aha District Court in the capital of Okinawa. Harp, of Griffin, Ga., and two other servicemen - Navy Seaman Marcus Gill, 22, of WoodvilleTexas,andMarinePfc. Kendrick Ledet, 20, of Waycross, Ga- are charged with rape causing injury, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Gill has admitted to the rape. Harp and Ledet admit they helped plot the girl's abduction as she came out from a stationery store where she bought school supplies,
but they deny raping her. ~arp said _Gill took the lead by
rapmg the gtrl in the back seat of the car, which the three had parked on~ deserted stretch of highway, while the other two stood outside.
Gill then emerged and said, "Who's next?" according to Harp. Ledet and Harp each entered the back seat in turn for a few minutes, but by that point the girl was unconscious and neither actually committed rape, Harp said.
Harp quoted Ledet as saying: "Don't rape her, she's just a little girl. Just get in the car and keep Gill from jumping on her."
Gill and Ledet are expected to testify later, but only Harp took the stand Monday.
The next court sessions are scheduled for Thursday and Dec. 26. The threejudge panel is to give its verdict and announce the sentences, if any, for the three men on Jan. 19, a Naha District Court official said.
In Japan.judges give their verdict and announce the sentence at the same time. There is no jury system.
An.American lawyer representing Harp and Ledet, Michael Griffith, lold reporters he plans to talk with the defendants' Japanese lawyers about requesting that the trial be moved out of Okinawa.
"The judges (in Okinawa) read all the negative coverage in the newspapers," Griffith said.
Griffith also attacked Okinawa Gov. Masahide Ota for placing advertisements in The New York Times that linked the rape with Ota's demands for the U.S. bases in Okinawa to be closed.
"The govenor' s advertisements . . . poisoned the integrity of the judicial process," Griffith said.

West Bank town gains autonomy By SAID GHAZAU
TULKAREM, West Banlc (AP) -Thousands of Palestinians honked horns and waved flags early Sunday, celebrating the withdrawal of Israeli troops and arrival of Palestinian police in the second West Banlc town to be handed over to Palestinian control underthelatestlsrael-PLO autonomy agreement
"I'oday is a national celebration, and a victory for every Palestinian,'' Tayeb Abdul REhim, a minister in Y asserArafat' sself-rule government, told cheering crowds outside the fonner Israeli army headquarters in Tulkarem
The once-banned red, white, green and black Palestinian flag flew from poles and buildings across the city, 35 kilometers(22miles)northeastoffel Aviv.
"I have waited for this happy moment,'' said Ahmad Shula, making hummus sandwiches for the police officers at a Tulkarem restaurant
'There are no more checkpoints. There are no more concrete slabs. Our suffering is over."
Less than a kilometer (0.6 miles) away, across the "Green Line". that divides Israel from the tenitory it occupied in 1%7, Israelis were less enthusiastic.
Some Israelis fear the autonomous areas may become refuges for Palestinian criminals.
"I feel a great deal of danger,'' said Oma Tsaraf, who has lived at the Nitzanei Oz collective farm on the Israeli side of the borderfor45 years.
"We want peace. We have childrenhere,grandchildren, and we want quiet,'' she told Army radio. "But recentlytherehasn'tbeenquiet They come here and steal cars. They steal all sorts of things. And to tell you the truth, I am afraid.''
AJewishsettlerandhis4-year-old daughter were wounded Saturday in adrive-by shootingneartheentrance to a West Banlc settlement south of
Bethlehem. The man was shot in the legs and his daughter was slightly injured by shrapnel. The attackers have not been caught
FourlsraelisoldierswerewOW1ded in two shooting incidents in the West Banlc earlier in the week. On Friday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 23-year-old Palestinian man in a clash in Nablus.
Israel's police minister, Moshe Shahal, said the Nov. 4 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has delayed decision-making on how Israel would patrol·its border with the West Bank.
But Israeli officials have said there are no plans to slow the transfer of authority.
"If we want to find a way to live together, we have to believe that we will succeed in living together," Zvi Poleg, mayor of the Israeli city of Netanya, l4k:i.lometers(9miles)from Tulkarem, told Israel radio.
"It is difficult because every day
Afghan gov't jets pound on rebel stronghold in Kabul KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)- Government jets bombed a major rebel stronghold south of the capital Kabul, a rebel spokesman said Sunday.
The attacks late Saturday and early Sunday killed dozens of rebelfighteis andci viliansin the town ofCharasyab about 30 kilometers ( 18 miles) south of Kabul, said Noor Mohammed Saqib a religious leaderfrom the rebel Taliban Islamic militia
"They attacked without regard to any residents of Charasyab,'' Saqib told Toe Associated Press during a telephone interview from his base in the Pakistani city of Peshawar near
', ',
the Afghan border. State-run Kabul Radio earlier said
the air raids killed 27 rebel fighters, but made no mention bf civilian de.aths.
Independent confirmation of the casualty figures was not immediately available.
The air strikes may be in retaliation to a prolonged rocket and mortar attack which pounded central Kabul on Saturday.
KabulRadiosaidatleast 17 people were killed in the rocket attacks, most ofwhichfellinaresidential part of the capital near the presidential palace.
Taliban leaders have vowed to topple the government of President Buma.nuddinRabbaniandinstall strict Islamic rule throughout Afghanistan.
But an advance in September, which took the rebels to the southern and eastern outskirts of the capital stalled an:d government forces have been fighting back.

Israeli soldiers lowered their flag andleftTulkaremin~emiddleofthe night, in a mostly successful attempt to avoid last-minute attacks. The first arrest made by arriving Palestinian police was a Palestinian accused of throwing stones at the departing troops.
Four other Palestinians - a father and three sons - were arrested later Sunday for allegedly having collaborated with the Israeli military government
In the Gaza Strip, which gained autonomy last year along with the West Bank town of Jericho under an earlier Israel-PW agreement, Arafat called Sunday's pullout "a good signal that the peace process will continue.'' Palestinian workers in the border town worry that autonomy may bring economic hard times.
Since Gaz.a and Jericho became autonomous, security concerns have prompted Israel to seal their borders dozens of times, keeping thousands of Palestinian workers from jobs in Israel. Tulkarem also relies heavily on income from Israeli Arabs who
cross the border to buy cheap vegetables and clothes.
''We are talking about independence, butourindependencedepends onisraei" saidlbrahimMahsarway, a 25-year-old plasterer working at a Jewish settlement near Tulkarem.
"Our economy depends on Israel. It will take time for the Palestinian Authority to change this.''
As a gesture of good will, Israel admitted6,800 Palestinian additional laborers from the WestBanlconSunday, bringing to about 47,(XX) the number of Palestinians with worlc permits.
Israel declared Nablus a closed military area Sunday evening, barring the entry of Israelis into the area beginning late Monday in preparation for transferring control of the city to the Palestinians later in the week. Fifteen Palestinian police officers, greeted by dozens of flag-waving PLO activists, arrived Sunday to open the IsraelPLO liaison office in Har Manoah outside Hebron.
About two dozen Jewish settlers held a protest outside the office, insisting their security was being endangered

US spacecraft penetrates Jupiter PASADENA, California (AP) - The Galileo spacecraft gave scientists their first morsels of data on Jupiter's harsh atmosphere Sunday.
"We are all absolutely ec-
static that our tremendously ambitious, first-ever penetration of an outer-planet atmosphere has been so wonderfully successful," said Bill O'Neil, Galileo project man-
ager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "So many of us have worked so hard for nearly two decades to get this first true taste of Jupiter's atmosphere.''
The flow of data from Galileo to the lab was expected to continue through Wednesday.
A 746-pound (338-kilogram) probe from Galileo entered the whirling gases of Jupiter's atmo-
sphere Thursday and sent back nearly an hour of precious data before it disintegrated. After receiving weather and chemical data, Galileo fired its thrusters and entered orbit around Jupiter for two years of study.
The probe had the capacity to send data back to Galileo for up to 75 minutes, but preliminary indications Sunday suggested it transmitted for 57 minutes, according to NASA.
A preliminary analysis of the data was scheduled to be released Dec. 19.
Previous missions have analyzed the atmospheres of Mars and Venus, but Jupiter is differ- . ent The giant planet is surrounded by powerful magnetic fields and intense radiation, and is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, the elements in the primordial mix that once condensed into the solar system.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The festive red poinsettias and his Santa Claus necktie did little to brighten President Clinton's sober, but hopeful message at Sunday's taping of a "Christmas in Washington" television special.
On the same day the first group of U.S. Marines landed at Sarajevo, Clinton reminded the audience of media and political luminaries - Democrats and Republicans alike -that America is blessed with peace and prosperity.
"And even though it sometimes imposes extra burdens on us, it is wonderful to know that people the world over trust us to work with them to achieve and share the blessings of peace,'' Clinton said at the close of the hour-long taping in the festively decorated National Building Museum.
"And let us ask the blessings of peace this Christmas

Strong earthquake rocks Kuril Islands TOKYO (AP) - A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 was recorded Monday morning near the southern Kuril Islands disputed between Russia and Japan, the Japanese Central Meteorological Agency said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the undersea tremor, which occurred at 7:48 a.m. (2248 GMT Sunday).
The earthquake was centered at a depth of about 60 kilometers
(37 miles) undersea near the island oflturup, or Etorofu in Japanese, one of the Kuril chain.

Gore, Peres lead New York eulogy for Rabin
By RICHARD PYLE NEW YORK (AP) · Yitzhak Rabin was the "consummate man oflsrael,'' Vice President Al Gore said at a memorial Sunday where the slain prime minister's death was painted as a unifying force in the Jewish state.
He "will alwaY,s be remembered as a man of grace, courage and quiet dignity ... who always put substance before style, action before acclaim and ideals before ideology," Gore told more than 12,000 people gathered at Madison Square Garden.
Rabin's widow, Leah, spoke of his giftto those left behind: "From his death, he bequested to us peace, he bequested to us solidarity, he bequested to us Jewish unity."
Both she and Shimon Peres, Rabin's successor, took note of the harsh rhetoric that some say encouraged the religious ultranationalist who shot Rabin after a peacerallyonNov.4. YigalArnir says he killed Rabin to stop the Middle East peace process.
"They called him a murderer, a traitor. Maybe this was more difficult than to face the (enemy) front, but he did not change his mind," said Pere·s, who has pledged to continue making peace with Israel's Arab neighbors. Mrs. Rabin chided Israelis, saying, "The voice of the silent majority was not heard. . . . We left him alone, we trusted him, and let him do it all by himself.''
The service, sponsored by four major Jewish-American organizations and shown live by satellite in Israel, Argentina and about 20 other American cities, included music written and performed by Marvin Hamlisch, and actress
20 people dead in two bus crashes MEXl!CO OTY (AP) - At least 20 people died in two buscrashes,one in the north and another in.the south of Mexico, the government's Notimex news agency reported.
Federal highway police said a passenger bus collided head-on with a large truck which had veered into the opposite lane early Sunday outside Matehuala, some 300 miles (480 kilometers) north of the capital. Eleven died, including the drivers of both vehicles, and 25 were injured, police told Notimex.
The bus, en route from Monterrey to Mexico City, was carrying passengers from the states of Mexico, Michoacan, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Puebla.
Nine people died when a bus crashed into a wall flanking a highway in the Chiapas state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez, state police told Notimex. Twenty others were wounded.
The state attorney general's office said the rlriver of the bus appeared to have been speeding.

Although officials closed off 4,000 of the Garden's 18,000 seats for security reasons, 16 metal detectors proved barely adequate to handle the crowd. Many people stood in the 16-degree cold for up to two hours before they were allowed in.
At least two groups, the National Council of Young Is-
Shimon Peres
rael and the Zionist Organization of America, boycotted the memorial. Young Israel's executive vice president, Rabbi Pesach Lerner, said the event was one-sided, with no member of the "loyal opposition" given a role in the program.
About 20 members of the militant Kahane Chai group, which opposes Israeli dealings with Arabs, stood across the street holding signs calling Peres a traitor.

Poet, scientists win Nobel prize By KEVIN COSTELLOE
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -Seamus Heaney, who rose from a tiny farming community in Ire0
land to become a giant in the world of poetry, was among 11 people awarded Nobel prizes on Sunday.
The laureates were singled out forresearch that ranged from studies of the ozone-layer, to examinations of how an embryo develops or how people make their own economic decisions which in tum affect national policies.
The Stockholm Concert House, where Sunday's ceremony was held, was packed with diplomats in white ties and tails, women in evening gowns and prominent professors with chests full of awards dangling from their necks.
A full orchestra played Haydn and Mozart in the flower-bedeckedhall, and trumpets brought the 1,800 guests to attention at each award presentation.
Winners took home $1.1 million, while co-winners split that amount. The prizes were created in 1895 by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. In the afternoon's most touching moment, the 5-year-old granddaughter of 77-year-old Frederick Reines gently hugged the fraillooking scientist around the legs
as he stood to receive a stream of congratulations. Reines, of the University of California, Irvine, and Stanford University's Martin Perl shared the Nobel physics prize for their research of the universe's· smallest particles.
In his speech introducing literature prize winner Heaney, Swedish Academy member Oesten S joestrand emphasized the poet's humble farming roots.
"But at the same time we meet in him a learned poet who, iri the very microcosm oflanguage, cultivates and reveals the Celtic, preChristian and Catholic literary heritage," Sjoestrand said.
Later, at a banquet honoring him and the other laureates, Heaney quoted the words of fellow Irish writer Oscar Wilde that "the only way to survive temptation was to yield to it.''
"So, here and now, I happily and gratefully yield to the temptation to believe that I am indeed the winner of a Nobel prize," Heaney said, drawing a round of laughter from the 1,300 guests in the ornate city hall.
F. Sherwood Rowland, also of the' University of California, Irvine, Mario Molina of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Paul J. Crutzen of the Netherlands won for sounding the

alarm about ozone-layer depletion.
Later, addressing the evening banquet, Rowland reminded his listeners that "this ozone is vital to us and to all other species living on the sun-lit Earth." He expressed satisfaction that the work he perfonned with Molina and Crutzen has led to curbs on ozoneharming substances.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Joseph Rotblat, honored in a separate ceremony in Oslo, Norway, told an audience.the only way to
· eradicat . e the threat o(nuc!ear war and
ensure human survival was to abolish war.
Of the 11 award winners this year, seven are Americans, and one each is from Northern Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Britain.
The only woman receiving the award was Christiane Nuesslein-
Volhard of the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
She and fellow scientists Eric F. Wieschaus of Princeton University and Edward B. Lewis of the California Institute of Technology used the fruit fly to unlock secrets of early embryo development in humans.
"None of us expected that our work would be so successful or that our findings would ever have relevance to medicine," Nuesslein-Volhard told the banquet.
"Although the work we did was often tedious and sometimes frustrating, it was generally great fun,'' she added, speaking in English.
"Your discoveries of genes that govern embryonic development have allowed us to comprehend how a single cell develops into a complex, multi-cellular organism," Bjoem Vennstroem, an as-
sociate member of the Nobel medicine committee, said in his introductory speech. University of Chicago Professor Robert E. Lucas Jr. won the Nobel economics prize for showing how people often stay one step ahead of governments by anticipating changes in policies and then adapting themselves. As a result, the research found, political measures lose some of their effect.
Lucas' work centered on "rational expectations," which describes the way households or companies use available information about the future to constantly rethink financial decisions.
After the awards presentation, the laureates and 1,300 guests attended a banquet in Stockholm's ornate city hall that included baroque music, modem dancers and streams of waiters bearing silver trays of food.

Chechen war marks first year By SERGEI SHARGORODSKY
MOSCOW (AP) - The war in Chechnya marks its first anniversary Monday with little fanfare, no glory, tens of thousands dead and slim chances of reaching peace in the tiny Caucasus republic where rebels fight for independence.
Daily casualties have taken a back seat to Russia's parliamentary elections; less than a week away. Campaigning politicians focus more on the troubled economy than the ongoing war.
Television broadcasts and newspapers noted the anniversary but gave more attention to the election. The public is preoccupied with the hardships of daily life. Even demonstrations in Moscow and St. Petersburg marking the anniversary drew only a dozen mothers of soldiers.
But some haven't forgotten the horror and pain of the war that started when Russian soldiers marched into Chechnya to fight rebels determined to secede. Since then, an estimated 20,000 people have been killed, most of them civilians.
The popular daily newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets printed a front-page photograph of the remains: of a Russian tank crewman whose body was hung on display in the Chechen capital Grozny and eaten by dogs.
l The readers' letters section of 'i the daily KomsomolskayaPravda ' includedonefromawoman whose
son has been missing in Chechnya since Feb. 18: "Where are you, my son? Please, tell us. We are waiting for you and we love you very much.'' ,
Another letter in the same newspaper was from a Russian lieutenant colonel who recalled telling a woman her son had been killed: "Forgive us all on this planet, the mothers whose sons we failed to save. If a wife loses her husband, she is called a widow. But what of the motherwholosesherson?''
On Dec. I 1, 1994,about40,000 Russian troops poured into Chechnya to quell the tiny southern republic's separatist drive and
. put an end to the three-year rule of ; independence-minded President ,! Dzhokhar Dudayev. Nego,1; tiations to end the war began after Chechen rebels took about 2,000
i people hostage in the southern I Russian town of Budyonnovsk in II June. Talks in Grozny produced a .July military agreement that spoke
lof rebel disarmament and partial Russian pullout, to be followed
[by elections and negotiations 1,on Chechnya's political status. ~ The agreement collapsed
1
1without being implemented. Russian troops control the
;northern two-thirds of jchechnya, but a group of rebels
iontinues to operate from the outhern third. Recent ~o~ths ave seen peace negotrnt10ns reak down, guerrilla attacks
:.increase in Grozny and Mos-1cow attempt to force_ elections 'On Chechnya. j Federal authorities and their .· hechen allies have bolstered se' urity across the republic to pre-
pare for the vote, set for Dec. 17 to coincide with Russia's legislative elections. The three contestants in the race include the Kremlinbacked premier, Doku Zavgayev.
But a leading candidate withdrew from the race Saturday.
Former Russian parliament speaker and ethnic Chechen Ruslan Khasbulatov said the vot~ could only aggravate tensions iu Chechnya, dividing it into rebeland Moscow-held areas and causing new violence.
Dudayev' s separatist rebels have threatened to disrupt the elections. They say no vote can take place until Russian troops leave.
And every day, the fighting continues.
On Sunday alone, the Russian
military command reported 18 attacks on its positions in Grozny and elsewhere. A military helicopter flying over Grozny came under submachinegun fire. A powerful bomb was found inside a downtown building.

Bellamy. Also due to attend was actor and author Sir Peter Ustinov, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador for 25 years.
UNICEF said the many successes of its first 50 years -such as curtailing yaws and polio and having a Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by 179 countries - were being threatened by chronic emergencies, particularly in Africa.
New technology, the extension of aerial bombardment and the increase in civil wars meant civilians now account for almost 90 percent of war deaths, against SO percent in previous centuries, the report said. Increasingly, children were targets.
"Today's conflicts are often bound up with ethnic differences, and in these circumstances warring groups can be made to see any member of the other group as a present or future enemy," said t.1e report.
Thousands of children under 16 have fought as soldiers in wars in 25 countries, the report said. In 1988 alone, there were as many as 200,000 child soldiers.
As part of their training, child soldiers were sometimes brutalized, UNICEF said. It cited Sierra Leone where children this year were forced to take part in the
torture and execution of their own relatives.
Child civilians also suffered, said the report, citing girls raped in Bosnia, Croatia and Rwanda.
Around half of the 53 million people forced to flee from wars in the past 50 years were children, it said.
Many traveled alone, such as in Rwanda last year when an estimated 114,000Rwandanchildren were separated from their families.
Children were especially vulnerable when warring parties disrupt food production and relief supplies, UNICEF said. Between 1980 and 1988, Angola lost an estimated 330,000 children and Mozambique about 490,000 due to war-related causes. Symptoms among traumatized survivors included nightmares, fear, insecurity and bitterness.
A survey of children in Angola in 199 S found 66 percent had seen people murdered, 91 percent had seen corpses, and 67 percent had seen people being tortured, beaten or hurt, the report said.
UNICEF wants children to be regarded as "zones of peace," an idea first mooted in El Salvador in 198Sthatinvolvesnegotiatingtemporary cease-fires to allow children in war zones to be given care.

YO-UR BIRTHDAY By Stella Wilder
Born today, you will display a great deal of natural talent at an early age. If you begin working consistently toward a single goal early on, you can achieve everything you've set' your mind on in both the professional and personal arenas. You may lose interest in the things that enable you to succeed. If this happens, you may have difficulty, and in a worst-case scenario, you will fail at the very endeavors you had counted on to bring you the greatest success. Hard work is your greatest ally.
ff the decisions you make as a youngster are important, then those that you make as you grow older can only be more important. You will discover that you can't simply drift with the tide if you want to build a satisfying life. Remember that your personal life and professional affairs are closely linked.
Also born on this date are: Tracy Austin, tennis player; Bob Barker, T.V. personality; Connie Francis and Frank Sinatra, singers; Ed Koch, New York Citv mayor; Cathy Rigby, gymnas-t and actress.
