B o w i e t o f a c e t r i a l f o r m u r d e rSUPERIOR Court Judge Miguel Demapan ruled on Friday that Jo­seph Anthony C. Bowie should be made to answer to the charge of first degree murder and six other charges in connection with the kill­ing of carpenter Eladio 0 . Laude in November.

Nilo Rivera, a friend of Laude who was abducted along with the murder victim but managed to es­cape, testified at the preliminary hearing and identified Bowie, 21, as the one who allegedly drove the vehicle used by their abductors. The type of the vehicle was not mentioned.

Rivera testified that the abduc­tors posed as policemen and were using a vehicle that had a siren. They allegedly stopped Laude and Rivera in front of the bowling cen­ter along Beach Road.

The abductors, Rivera said, de­manded $25 from him. He only had $5 in his wallet which was taken by one of the abductors.

Rivera and Laude were subse­quently brought to the parking lot of the Motor Vehicles Bureau in Susupe, then to a house in As Lito

where at least six men allegedly started beating Laude.

When he tried to stop the men, Rivera said, he was likewise kicked, beaten up and punched.

The government amended the charges against Bowie to include robbery and assault and battery on Rivera.

Bowie, who was arraigned for the additional charges shortly after the preliminary hearing, pleaded not guilty.

Dr. Robert Hanan of Common­wealth Health Center testified on the autopsy report. According to the report, Laude’s body showed signs of violent death. He suffered rib fracture, severe hemorrhage and second degree bums which, ac­cording to the government, could be a result of the victim’s having been dragged underneath a vehicle to a distance of 100 feet.

Bowie was charged with first degree murder, two counts of kid­napping, two counts of robbery, and two counts of assault and bat­tery.

A status conference will be held on June 7 during which the court

Eladio O. Laude may set a trial date for Bowie.

Three other young suspects in the murder of the carpenter are awaiting trial. Mario M. Reyes and his brother Efrain Jr. who are both in their 20s, and a juvenile were arrested and charged with first de­gree murder among several other charges, shortly after the body of Laude was found in the Dandan homestead area.

The carpenter was killed about a week before he was scheduled· to go home to the Philippines.

A SUPERIOR Court jury con­victed Saipan resident Francisco Mendiola Cabrera Friday for dis­tributing crystal methamphet- amine or “ice.”

The six-person jury issued its verdict after the week-long trial of the former Department of Pub­lic Works employee.

Cabrera was acquitted on count two of the complaint, which is possession of ice with intent to distribute.

Cabrera was charged in May 1992 after he sold three packets of ice worth $1,500 to his friend and ■former office mate at DPW, who turned out to be the government’s informant in the buy-bust opera­tion.

Assistant Attorney General Steven Pixley said Cabrera had admitted to the police that he sold ice at least 10 times in 1991.

Cabrera admitted during the trial that he was using ice and had

o n ‘ic e ’sold ice,! but blamed his friend Francisco Camacho for allegedly inducing Cabrera to use and sell the controlled substance.

Cabrera also said under oath that Camacho started using ice at DPW.

He said he had decided a few months before his arrest on May 22,1992, to stop using and selling ice because he realized that such acts would destroy him and his

FORMER Rep. Vicente Cabrera DL. Guerrero on Thursday ac­cused Marianas Public Land Corp. Executive Director William Concepcion and John T. Sablan of arranging the substitution of a prime land in Obyan beach with a less valuable property.

“It’s about time MPLC is ex­posed,” Guerrero said in an inter­view.

He said other land exchange recipients who had the same ex­perience should speak up and join in the filing of a lawsuit against Concepcion and Sablan.

“Let’s stop this corruption,” he said.

The former lawmaker’s disclo­sure was prompted by a com­plaint filed against him by Pacific Resort Development Inc. The company accused Guerrero of receiving more than $500,000 payment for a 55-year lease of a property which did not belong to him.

.In 1990 Guerrero said MPLC promised to award him a beach front property with a total area of 3,033 square meters, in exchange for his 3.9-neciare property in the wetland in Susupe which the gov­ernment wants to preserve as habi­tat for endangered species of wa­ter birds.

It was the first wetland exchange

approved by the MPLC board in February 1990.

Before the lease agreement with PRDI was signed in February 1991, Guerrero said Concepcion wrote a letter addressed to Ikuo Yoshizawa, the agent for a Japa­nese investor interested to lease the property, assuring that the title of the prime beach front and in Obyan would be awarded to Guerrero.

Guerrero said Sablan negoti­ated the lease agreement with Yoshizawa who later turned out to be an agent for PRDI, which was planning to build a golf course and resort hotel.

Guerrero received more than $500,000 from Yoshizawa as pay­ment for the lease. The lease was worth $544,000.

However, MPLC awarded the title to of the property to Rosa C. Sorensen, another land exchange recipient, in 1992.

Guerrero said he only learned late last year that Sorensen ob­tained the title to the property promised him.

Prior to that, Guerrero said he had been asking MPLC for the title almost every week. Each time he came, MPLC allegedly prom­ised to attend to his demand.

Guerrero said land exchange administrator Jess Cabrera also told him that there was no way the

family.However, in May 1992,

Camacho allegedly requested that Cabrera acquire ice for Camacho.

Because he and Camacho were friends, Cabrera said he broke his promise to avoid getting involved in ice, and acquired packets of ice for Camacho from a source in Kagman.

Cabrera’s counsel, Douglas Cushnie, questioned the credibil­ity of Camacho, the government’s informant in the buy-bust opera­tion.

Cushnie said Cabrera had tried to correct his mistake but ended up helping a friend, “who is a liar.”

He said Camacho is an “ice user, a drug seller, a former po­liceman and a convicted cop.”

Assistant Attorney General Russell Marsh said the allegation that Camacho is a convict was unverified.

Cushnie mimicked Camacho’s “jumpy” behavior when he testi­fied which allegedly indicates that the informant was under the in­fluence of ice.

The defense attorney also asked why Camacho turned over only two packets of ice after the buy- bust when the prosecutor claimed that Cabrera gave three packets to his former friend.

Pixley emphasized to the jurors that the defense’s strategy to por­tray Cabrera as his friend’s victim, is untrue. “What this is all about is for profit,” he said, showing the packets of ice seized in the buy- bust operation.

Marsh said that there was no evidence to prove that Camacho induced Cabrera into selling and/ or using ice.

Blaming Camacho who is not the one on trial, is a smoke screen, Marsh said. (GLD)

property would be awarded to someone other than Guerrero.

The former lawmaker said he learned later that Sablan also helped Sorensen acquire the prime beach property through Concepcion.

“They (Sablan and Concepcion) are very close. Every night, they go together. Now the party’s over,” Guerrero said.

This newspaper tried to get Sablan’s comment Thursday but a secretary in one of his offices said-he was in a meeting.

On the other hand, Concepcion said in a telephone interview that he does not have anything to do whatever transpired between Guerrero and Sablan.

“My friendship with Mr. Sablan has nothing to do with this (land exchange),” Concepcion said.

He also denied giving assur­ance to Guerrero that the former lawmaker would get the prime land.

Concepcion said buyers must be careful and “make sure a per­

son has legal right to the prop­erty.”

“The problem arises when some people start to negotiate land based on a prospective ownership,” he said.

He said the land leased to Yoshizawa was “based on a promise.” “Yoshizawa should have made sure the deed has been executed,” Concepcion said.

According to Concepcion, the title for Guerrero was delayed because the MPLC board finally decided only late last year the fixed value of wetland properties, which is S84 per square meter.

Instead of the prime beach land, Guerrero said he was given title to an L-shaped rocky land with only a small portion of the beach.

Guerrero said Yoshizawa re­lied on MPLC’s assurance that he would receive the title to the prime property.

“Would someone pay more than S500,000 if he was not given as­surance about the ownership of the land?” Guerrero said. (GLD)

Appraiser to determine value of MIHA property

By Rafael H. Arroyo

AN INDEPENDENT appraiser will be tapped to determine the value of the Garapan Annex II property being offered by Mariana Islands Housing Authority to J.C. Tenorio Enterprises (Joeten), this was learned last week.

A private appraisal company out of Guam will conduct an valu­ation of the land after Joeten and MIHA came out with conflicting appraisals of the 7.4-hectare property.

“We have taken a look at both (MIHA’s and Joeten’s) apprais­als and recommended a third valuation. We hope to get this done by this week as we really need to get the deal going,” said Joeten spokesman Mike Sablan.

According to Sablan, MIHA’s appraisal of the property was at S437 per square meter, well over Joeten’s appraisal of $200-250 per square meter.

MIHA and Joeten are getting ready to execute a purchase op­tion agreement that would gener­ate $100,000 a month for MIHA.

The proposed option is for a period of three years with a maxi­mum of another two years ’ exten­sion. Should Joeten decide within

Sablanthe option period to buy the prop­erty, the monthly payments would be deducted from the appraised sale value of the land. If it chooses not to go ahead with the purchase, the monthly payments are non­reimbursable.

The deal is also waiting for the enactment of a law that would allow fee simple transfer of the property.

According to Sablan, the value of the property two years ago was estimated at$460 per square meter but the appraisal was done in 1991 when the CNMI economy was

considered at its peak.“We are looking at the fair mar­

ket value of the property. We want to be fair to the public, as they are the ones to benefit from the deal,” he said.

Sablan said the MIHA property would be bought for a planned commercial development wherein the indigenous people of the NMI may participate as stockholders.

“We and Joeten are exhausting all our efforts at arriving at a mu­tually acceptable appraisal so we can get the deal on. We Те trying our best to let it work but if the project is not economical, we have the option to pull out,” Sablan said.

МША has been searching for investors who will lease the property for commercial devel­opment in an effort to revive its financial standing.

MIHA, an autonomous agency, has exhausted much of its re­sources in providing the utilities infrastructure for many of its housing programs, a cost that should have been shouldered by government.

MIHA has been declared in default of an $8 million loan from Commonwealth Development Authority.

THE government will continue to deliver essential services to the people with or without the $120 million funds under the multi-year financial aid agree­ment, Governor Lorenzo I. Guerrero said Friday.

If the agreement is not ap­proved by Congress, however, the CNMI would have to look at ways to protect all its local rev­enue sources, he said.

During a subcommittee hear­ing in Washington on March 18, Representative George Miller, chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources, said he could not recommend approval of the agreement because of the CNMI’s failure to solve its labor problems and reform its taxation system.

In an interview, Guerrero said the CNMI’s multi-year federal funding package was not a to­tally lost cause, Approval would depend on how CNMI leaders would respond to congressional demand for reforms.

In the meantime, he said exist­ing sources of revenue should not be taken away.

A bill introduced by Virginia Congressman Lewis F. Payne, for instance, threatens to kill the gar­ment industry, a major source of revenue for the CNMI govern­ment.

Payne’s bill seeks to deny duty­free treatment for CNMI exports (garments) to the US mainland unless the miv imum wage is raised to the federal level and local labor content is increased to 50 percent.

Saipan’s garments industry has contributed $30 million in rev­enues for the government, aside

from having stimulated more eco­nomic activity in the island and boosted other support industries such as freight forwarding, insur­ance, financing, and real estate.

Guerrero said he would soon call for high level discussions within the executive and legisla­tive branches of government to come up with plans of actions on the 702 agreement and Payne’s bill.

“ We must get together and seri­ously take a unified position on minimum wage, tax reform and perhaps look at a possible mora-

torium on alien labor, but not to affect adversely the business com­munity” he said.

“Every penny we can save to­day, we can use tomorrow. If we are to lose the 702 funding, we must not lose our garments indus­try and our other sources,” Guerrero said.

Guerrero is expected to defend the 702 budget appropriations before the Appropriations Com­mittee during a regular budget hearing on the fiscal year 1994 federal budget in May. (RHA)

THE DISTRICT Court has awarded $75,929 to 44 construc­tion workers who earlier won a suit against H.S. Lee Construction Co.

The workers claimed they were underpaid and that the company made illegal deductions.

Judge Alex Munson signed the monetary judgement for the work­ers on March 19.

The workers were also awarded $38,835 in attorney’s fees for counsel Jay Sorensen who agreed to represent them on a contin­gency basis.

At the same time, the judge told the workers to pay H.S. Lee about

$1,000 for counterclaims.Many of the workers testified

during the trial that they were made to sign two contracts, one for a $1.70 hourly pay while an­other, staling a $2.15 per hour wage.

The workers claimed they bor­rowed money for the recruitment fee, expecting a better income for their families.

The workers claimed the $2.15 hourly pay that was promised was a major factor in making them decide to be away from their fami­lies and work in Saipan as con­struction workers. (GLD)

ONE of the local artists partici­pating in the Seoul-Saipan 3-D Art Festival is Balbina Wabol.

Bom on Sansorol, an outer is­land of Palau, Wabol moved to Saipan in 1971. Since her arrival she has been very active member of the art community. Over the past dccadc she has held a myriad of community classes on the art of basket-weaving has displayed her work throughout the Western and Southern Pacific regions.

Wabol learned her craft as a child in Sansorol. She says, “I did not learn the craft for art’s sake. Instead, the weaving skills we learned were a necessity. We used them in our everyday exist­ence, as many things we used were woven. We did not have cement or aluminum for our roofs or plastic plates ‘and bowls, all these things were woven from coconut fronds.”

Wabol said it took many years of practice to learn her craft, but she is at a point where she can complete a basket in about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size.

Wabol’s work will be on dis­play in the Scoul-Saipan 3-D Art Festival at the Joctcn-Kiyu Pub­lic Library. The exhibit will run until March 30, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Admission is free.

COMMONWEALTH Utilities Corp. Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero signed an assistance amendment agreement Thursday with the US Environmental Pro­tection Agency (EPA) for addi­tional federal support of $91,903 for the Sadog Tase sewer treatment plant modification project.

Deanna M. Wicman, director of EPA’s Office of External Affairs, earlier informed Guerrero about the agency’s approval of a raise in federal contribution for the im­provement of the sewer treatment plant from the S1.98 million ap­proved in Sept., 3, 1992, to S2.07 million.

The federal government’s share on jhe project now amounts to 72 percent of the S2.86 million total cost.

The EPA contribution for the treatment plant was authorized in 1992 under the federal construc­tion grants program and was meant to boost the capability of the utili­ties firm inhandlingthcsewcrnecds of Saipan.

The pi ant, which was constructed in 1991 at an initial cost of S2.7 million, underwent improvement in 1992 after the EPA grant was obtained through US Public Law 95-134. The improvement enabled the plant to process two million gallons a day of waste water.

The agreement signed Thursday included additional terms and con­ditions for the improvement project.

The timcndmcnis provide that when issuing statements, press re­leases, request for proposals, bid solicitations and other documciiLs describing projects or programs funded in whole or in part with federal money, the grantee must fully disclose the following:

• Percentage of tire total cost of the program or project which will be financed with federal money;

• Dollar amount of federal funds for the project or program; and

• The percentage and dollar amount of the total cost of the project or program that will be fi­nanced by non-governmental sources.

le a d s i n M in d a n a oCOTAB ATO, Philippines (AP) - President Fidel Ramos’ guber­natorial candidate widened his lead Sunday in a Muslim autono­mous regional election but the incumbent charged fraud and re­fused to concede.

Unofficial returns from about half the 4,800 precincts showed Lininding Pangandaman with 341,152 votes to 81,425 for in­cumbent Gov. Zacaria Candao.

About 60 percent of the 1 mil­lion eligible voters cast ballots Thursday for 23 posts in the Au­tonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, a four-province ad­ministration established three years ago to provide self-rule to the 6 million-strong Muslim mi­nority.

Critics claim the system has fallen short of those goals be­cause of manipulation by national

politicians in Manila.In the campaign, Ramos’ party

flooded the region with promi­nent national politicians who said openly that only administration candidates could guarantee the flow of development money from Manila.

“How can I concede to Pangandaman?” Candao said in a television interview. “My oppo­nent is Malacanang,” referring to the presidential palacrtin Manila.

Earlier, he accused the military of “massive fraud.”

Candao’s party also sent promi­nent politicians from Manila for the campaign.

In Manila, Ramos urged all can­didates to stick by a promise they made before the balloting to re­spect the outcome.

Major Muslim rebel groups had refused to take part in the election

or accept the results. The rebels, including the Moro National Lib­eration Front, never accepted the autonomy formula and are press­ing for an expanded self-rule sys- teiji.

Following a bloody uprising, the government of the late Presi­dent Ferdinand Marcos and the front signed an agreement in 1976 in Tripoli, Libya, recognizing Muslim self-rule in 13 southern provinces.

The agreement was never fully implemented and fighting re­sumed. Former President Corazon Aquino also rejected the Tripoli Agreement because many of the 13 provinces had Christian ma­jorities.

During a referendum in 1989, only four, non-contiguous prov­inces opted to join the autono­mous region.

t r i p r e q u e s t b y M a r c o sMANILA (AP) - A court on Thursday rejected a request by Imelda Marcos to travel to Thailand to attend the wedding of the son of a Thai prince because the trip was “frivolous."

The widow of former President Ferdinand Marcos had asked permission to attend the wedding of the son of Prince Subhadradis on Sunday.

“The intended trip is of no significant importance to the accussed... and can be described as frivolous,’·’ the court said in rejecting the application of the former first lady.

Mrs. Marcos, who has a reputation as a “jet-setter,” needs court permission to travel abroad because she has been charged with 42 criminal offenses in connection with alleged corruption during her husband’s adminstration.

Marcos was overthrown in the 1986 popular uprising and died in exile in Hawaii three years later.

RP urged to follow Thailand's exampleMANILA ( AP) - Thai Prime Min­ister Chuan Leekpai suggested Thursday that the Philippines fol­low Thailand’s example and liber­alize its banking laws to revive this nation’s stagnant economy.

In a speech to the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Indus­try, Chuan said he was impressed by President Fidel Ramos’ mea­sures to boost economic growth.

“On the part of Thailand, some of the measures to liberalize the economy could be complementary to the Philippine effort,” Chuan said. “For instance, Thailand has recently embarked on the first step toward becoming a regional center for banking and finance.”

He noted that he recently had granted licenses to 47 domestic and foreign banks.

Under current laws, foreign banks are not allowed to offer full banking services in the Philippines and are considered “representative offices.”

Chuan, who arrived Wednesday for a three-day visit, also said the six members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations should work to promote inter-Asian trade and cooperation in the interests of “the greater prosperity of us all.”

“I am happy to say that Thailand could be a link between the quad­rangle of cooperation comprising Indochina, Myanmar (Burma), South China and Thailand with cooperation of the ASEAN coun­tries,” he added.

Besides the Philippines andThai- land, the ASEAN members are Singapore,Malaysia,Indonesiaand Brunei.

“The stage is being set by gov­ernments, but it is members of the private sectors who will be the real actors,” Chuansaid. -

In his remarks, Jose Prado, {resi­dent of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the country finally had achieved po­litical stability after the turmoil of Corazon Aquino’s administration and was now prepared for an eco­nomic takeoff.

“The Philippines ’ high-investment future growth areas are basic indus­trial chemicals, metals and engineer­ing products, resource-based indus­tries such as mining and forest plan­tations, tobacco and textiles,” he said.

Prado, however, did not mention the country’s critical energy short­age, which has led to daily electricity cuts of up toeighthours in Manilaand other major cities.

N o r th w e s t w in s Im a g e ’ a w a r dMINNEAPOLIS - Northwest Airlines employees have the sharpest look in the skies, accord­ing to the National Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Dis­tributors.

The association honored North­west with its 1993 Image of the Year Award for the airline’s new employee uniforms introduced in 1992.

Northwest won in the national transportation category against other major airlines and was pre­sented with the award March 2 at the association’s annual conven­tion in Palm Springs, Calif.

Northwest introduced new the new uniforms in February 1992 after months of consultation, de­sign and development involving hundred of Northwest employ­ees. Dozens of different apparel items were designed and manu­factured for Northwest’s nearly 40,000 uniformed employees, in-. clpding pilots, flight attendants, machinists, ticket agents and other

WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary LeSAspinunveiled Presi­dent Clinton’s slimmed-down, $263.4 billion militaiy budget Sat­urday, portraying it as a “very cau- tious”blueprintthatpreservesmany ReaganrBusheraweaponssystems.

Reductions of 108,000 in active duty, mi^ikry and a pay freeze ac­count'for much of Clinton’s de­fense cuts in the spending plan for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

The overall fiscal 1994 budget is about $10 billion less than this year’s level - and some $ 12 bill ion short of what former President Bush envisioned for the post-Cold War era.

Over a four-year period, Clinton plans to cut defense spending by $88 billion, an increase from the $60 billion reduction he pledged during the presidential campaign.

Left unanswered was the fate of most major weapons programs, including future development of tactical aircraft for the Air Force and Navy, a light helicopter for the Army and an attack submarine.

Aspin is reserving judgment on those programs, as well as scores of others, pending the results of a major review slated for this sum­mer.

“This is a cautious budget on the weapons side. Very cautious,” Aspin told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. “We are maintaining a lot of oyfions... treading water on two accounts - research and develop­ment and procurement.”

employee groups.“It is very gratifying to have

Northwest’s image and presenta­tion endorsed by the people who actually make uniforms,” said Hector Adler, Northwest vice president of in-flight services. “Northwest’s uniforms are an­other example of our commitment

to achieving quality in every as­pect of our service.”

Northwest is the world’s fourth- largest airline and with its North­west Airlink regional airline part­ners serves more than 240 cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Naito plans to build resort hotel in RotaA JAPANESE investor filed an application with Coastal Resources Management (CRM) Thursday to build a resort hotel in Rota.

The hotel, to be named Vista Del Mar, will be designed to enhance Rota’s image as a pristine, first-class tourist destination.

“The proposed project will strive to the best extent possible to be a green hotel/resort and take advantage of the ecotourism market,” according to the proposal filed by investor Peter Y. Naito.

The project proponent cited a study by the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program which says the fastest-growing sector of the tourist industry is ecotourism, which takes visitors to remote places to experience natural beauty and culture.

Vista Del Mar will have a fruit and flower garden, two swimming pools, a waterfall, spa, a nine-hole golf course and 30 rooms.

The project will be built on a privately-leased land across from Teteto Beach.

The project will be completed in two years. (GLD)

South Korea reports 4.7% economic growthSEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea’s economy grew by 4.7 percent in 1992, well below 1991’s 8.4 percent growth and the worst performance in 12years, the central bank said Thursday.

Bank of Korea officials also expressed concern because the economy had been deteriorating throughout the year, slowing steadily from a growth rate of 7.4 percent in the first quarter to 2.8 percent in the fourth. Some economists say the economy might have ceased to grow at all in the current quarter, and that a turnaround is unlikely until late this year.

The bank’s preliminary report

came as the new government of President Kim Young-sam was reversing the previous administration’s tight money policy in efforts to stimulate the economy.

The government already had decided to cut bank interest rates by 0.5 to one percentage point on Friday to spur business invest­ment, after cuts of 1 to 2 percent­age points in January.

The bank attributed the slow 1992 growth to the manufactur­ing sector’s poor sales and low investment. Economists say fa­cility investment declined by 0.8 percent in 1992, after growing 12.8 percent in the previous year.

The previous tight monetary policy and weak demand both at home and abroad have kept South Korean companies from invest­ing heavily in facilities, thus af­fecting their future ability to pro­duce.

Private consumption, whichhad led sharp economic growth until 1991, grew by a moderate 6.4 percent in 1992, compared with 9.3 percent in 1991.

Agovemmentcampaign to curb purchases of luxury goods; mainly imports, was cited as one reason for the slow growth in consump­tion.

The campaign also caused fric­tions with trading partners, nota­bly the United States.

Japan on Thursday opened a cen­ter offering free short-term office space and counseling to busi­nesses trying to break into this market.

Japan’s trading partners have said the difficulties of setting up a business here,including high rents and unfamiliarity with the Japa­nese language and business cli­mate, have contributed to their soaring deficits in trade with Ja­pan.

Japan’s overall trade surplus rose 3 8 percent 1 as t year to a record $107 billion.

The new Business Support Center will offer office space for up to 24 companies at a time, counseling by trade advisers, and secretarial, phone and fax ser­vices, for up to two months. The companies will pay only for mail, phone and translation expenses.

The center, run by the semi- govemmental trade organization JETRO, already has bookings through May.

US Ambassador Michael Armacost praised the center in a prepared message, calling it “ex­actly what we have been long seeking on behalf of new-to-mar-

ket US exporters and trade orga­nizations.”

“It’s all in the right direction,” said Tom Jordan, vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. “Whether it’s enough to make a major im­pact remains to be seen. There’s a long way to go.”

The European Community also has been stepping up demands that Japan do more to boost im­ports. Japan’s surplus with Eu­rope rose to $31 billion last year, up 68 percent from 1990.

EC Ambassador Jean-Pierre Leng praised the business center in a speech at its opening cer­emony, but also wished it a “short life,” hoping that increased for­eign investment would make it obsolete.

Japan continues to invest far more overseas than foreign coun­tries invest here, an imbalance that is closely linked to the trade surplus.

As of last year, Japan had in­vested an accumulated $352 bil­lion abroad since 1951, according to the Ministry of Finance, while foreign companies had spent just $ 2 2 billion in Japan.

YOUR BIRTHDAYBy Stella Wilder

Born today, you are known among those who know you best as a quiet, re­served, and easygoing individual, but when the chips are down and you have something on the line you become ag­gressive, competitive, and often ex­plosive in your approach. This dual as­pect of your personality is likely to guarantee success, for you are not the kind to waste your efforts on those things which do not require them; you save your energy for those things which most demand its concentrated use.

You are not the kind to give up easi­ly, and this will serve you quite well in your personal relationships. You seek the contentment of a single, life-long love — and you may have it, provided you do not force it, but rather let it de­velop organically at an easy pace.

Also born on this date are: John Tyler, U.8. president; Earl Camp­bell, football player.

To see what is in store for you to­morrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, MARCH 30ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You

may find it necessary to prove your­self to those in positions of authority. Don’t rock the boat!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Comparisons are sure to be drawn to­day between you and someone who is soon to become an ally or a rival.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - The pace is sure to quicken today, whether you are ready or not. Be certain of your relative standing; know your place.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may discover today that plans have al­ready been made for you for the com­ing months. Are you soon to be on the right track?

LEO (July 23-Aog. 22) — Questions you ask today are likely to be an­swered — but perhaps only when you are least prepared to listen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You’re spending just a bit too much effort on details today. Try taking a look at the big picture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - Your emotions are lying just beneath the surface today, and it’s not going to take much to make them erupt.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - You’ll learn an important lesson or two today which you can put to practi­

cal use almost immediately.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

— Your natural pioneer spirit will serve you well today — but you must be careful when up against a rival.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You’re putting the Pieces together, but that emotional puzzle you’re working on may still prove stubborn at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - You mustn’t stoop to the ordinary or obvious today in order to get what you want. Be original; use your imagination!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - You may want to re-examine current needs and desires today, you may be confusing the one with the other.

For your personal horoscope, lovescope, lucky numbers and future forecast, call Astro'Tone (95c each minute; Touch-Tone phonee only). Dial 1-900-740-1010 and enter your a cce ss cod e num­ber, which Is 500.

Price gains slim lead in $2M Tour’s Players

By Bob Green

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. (AP) - Nick Price battled some putting problems but finished with a hard- earned 71 that left him with a one-stroke lead Saturday after the third round of the $2 million US PGA Tour’s Players Champion­ship.

While the man from Zimba­bwe remained in front, his unco­operative putter opened the way for a host of challengers in Sunday’s final round of the chase for a 5360,000 first prize.

“I was disappointed with my putting on the back nine,” Price said after missing 4-footers (1- meter putts) for birdies on the 12th and 16th. I could have played the back a couple of shots better. But I didn ’t hurt myself,” he said.

That, however, remained to be seen.

The misses enabled the inter­national trio of Greg Norman, Bernhard Langer and Mark O’Meara to move to within a

single stroke of Price’s 13-under- par 203 total.

All three did it in spectacular fashion.

O’Meara holed a 40-foot (12- meter) chip shot for an eagle-3 on the 16th as the highlight of a 6- under-par 66 that matched the best score of the breezy day.

Langer, a former Masters champ from Germany, came within inches (centimeters) of a hole in one on the island green of the 17th, the signature hole on the Tournament Player’s Club (TPC) at Sawgrass, the home course of the US PGA Tour and the perma­nent site of the annual champion­ship of golf’s touring pros.

He had a 70, despite a water ball on the 11th. “Pretty stupid,” Langersaid. Onlymoments after his near-ace on the 17th, Norman’s 47-yard (-meter) third shot to the 18th hit the green and spun back toward the hole, coming to rest on the lip of the cup.

Norman, a winner atDoral ear­lier this month, had a 68 and shared

second with O ’Meara and Langer at 204.

Paul Azinger was next at 68- 205. Payne Stewart and Ken Green followed at 206, placing seven men within three strokes going into the final 18 holes of the tour­nament that ranks in stature just below golf’s Big Four events.

Stewart, on the rebound from a slump that has plagued him since his 1991 US Open triumph, was seven under par for the day until he missed the green and bogeyed the final hole.

“It’s one of those daysl’vebeen waiting for, and I ’ve been waiting for it for a long time, too,” Stewart said after a 66 in the 15-25 mph (24-40 kph) winds.

“My objective today was to get back into the golf tournament. And I think I did that.”

The maverick Green, a fre­quently-fined and out-spoken critic of pro golf’s establishment, was within one shot of the lead until he dropped back with a bo- gey-bogey finish. He had a 69.

ST. PETERSBURG , Fla. (AP) -Fernando Valenzuela kept his ERA at 0.00 despite giving up four hits in two innings Saturday as the Baltimore Orioles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1.

White Sox 9, Rangers 1

McDowell (4-0) pitched four scoreless innings before John Russell doubled to open the fifth and scored on Bill Ripken’s one- out single.

Reds 14, Tigers 2 LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Barry

Larkin and Cecil Espy homered as the Cincinnati Reds got 18 hits and routed Detroit.

Tim Pugh (2-0), who came into the game with a 0.90 ERA, held the Tigers to one run on five hits in 5 1-3 innings. The Reds have won nine of their last 11 exhibi­tions.

Indians 4, Pirates 3BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) -

Non-roster infielder Jeff Treadway hit a two-run homer in the first inning and the Cleveland Indians, playing on .the day of pitcher Tim Crews’ funeral, beat Pittsburgh.

Ten Indians players who didn’t make the trip from Winter Haven, Fla., to Bradenton for the exhibi­tion game attended services for Crews in Orlando. Nine Indians, including most of their veteran pitchers, left immediately after the game to fly to Portland, Ore., to attend funeral services Sunday for reliever Steve Olin.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Charles Barkley, who has led the Phoenix Suns to the best record in the NBA, re­turned to Philadelphia on Saturday a little uneasy about playing his former team.

“I ’m dreading it more than anything,” ; said Barkley, who was sent to .Phoenix in June in a trade that brought Jeff Hornacek and two oth­ers to the 76ers.

“I ’m just glad it’s here soI.can get it over with now,” he said at a news confer­ence. “I think it’s something that’s been on my mind for some time and I ’m just glad it’s here.”■_ I t’snoi that Barkley thinks the 76ers will actually beat Phoenix when they meet Sunday at the Spectrum.

After all, the Philadelphia is “ju st another team in our w.ay of what we are trying to accomplish·. They could only beat us.if we don’t play well.”

•What Barkley and. the team want to accomplish is to guarantee a home-court ’advantage all- the way to the league championship series by winning the rest of their r'egulal-season games.

He ippks forward1 to. fp r

; cusing on that goal - as soon as the game against the7 6ers is over.

“I think i t ’s obviously go­ing to be e m o tio n a l,” Barkley said of playing his former teammates. “It will be difficult. It w illbediffer- ent, like going in the visi­tors’ locker room. .-

Thè two teams met once before this season - in Phoe­nix - with the Suns winning 125-115. Barkley had 36 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists. ;■' Barkley said he looked

forward to being with the Philadelphia fans again, al­though he w on’t assume they ’ll give him a standing ovation. .

“If they give me an ova-’ tion, that would be nice,” he' said. “If they don’t, that would be nice too. I would be happy.”

He didn ’ t mention the pos­sibility of getting booed.

As for being traded to the Suns, Barkley, said it has made basketball furi again.

“Every, night we go out there we have a chance to •win,”’ he sa id .'/I t’s not like what I went through last year, and a couple of ye ars here when you knew you were gping jo g e i beat.eVery night. T h a t’s ail ; you’ want - a chance.” ; v ··.:/ ■ ·, ; ·.·,·

Third-seeded Martínez beats Sabatini in SlimsHOUSTON (AP) - Third-seeded Conchita Martinez defeated top- seeded Gabriela Sabatini 6-3,6-3 in a semifinal at the $375,000 Virginia Slims of Houston tour­nament Saturday at the Westside Tennis Club.

Martinez trailed 3-2 in the first set, but broke Sabatini’s serve in the sixth game to start a 4-0 run that gave her the set. She jumped ahead 5-1 in the second and held

on for the win.Martinez recorded 27 winners

to Sabatini’s eight and converted on 15 of 18 net approaches com­pared to just 13 of 25 for Sabatini.

“Conchitaplayed as well as I’ve ever seen her play,” said Sabatini, who had won six in a row against Martinez. “I didn’t play all that bad, she was just too good today.”

Martinez played despite an in­jured right hand that nearly forced

her to pull out of the tournament earlier in the week.

“The hand wasn’t giving me any problems today,” Martinez said. “In fact, I think this was one of the best matches on clay I ’ve had in a long time.”

Martinez will face the winner of Saturday night’s second semi­final between No. 4 Jana Novatna and unseeded Sabine Hack of Germany in Sunday’s final.

M e s e k iu s ta r ts s e rv ic e in P a la uA UNIQUE new dive boat was recently put into service by Splash divers, in Palau. The 31’Mesekiu is one of the growing number of Kevlacat power catamarans now servicing the scuba diving indus­try in the Pacific.

The twin-hull power boats have thoroughly proven themselves in dive operations all over Australia (where they are built), and in the Marshall Islands, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, the Madives and South Africa.

The inherent stability, fuel effi­ciency, speed and rough water capability of power catamarans make them perfect vessels for Pacific waters. Space-age boat building materials and techniques make the Kevlacat power cats exceptionally strong, reliable and long-lived.

Twenty-five years of Austra­lian power cat design and engi­neering improvements are incor­porated into all Kevlacat power catamarans. Experience with a variety of commercial boats to met the specific needs and expec­tations of their clients.

Splash Divers, based at the Palau Pacific Resort, is one of the largest scuba diving tour opera­tors in Micronesia. Mesekiu was purchased to provide Splash with a fast, stable, easy to operate and maintain 15 passenger vessel, and to provide dive scheduling flex­ibility for the growing operation.

The Meskiu is named after the endangered Jauan dugong (manatee). mippcdwithcom- plcte marine electronics and safety equipment (including emergency oxygen), racks for 36 scuba tanks,

diver pre benches with storage be­neath, a camera prep table, three walk-through dive doors, an aft mounted boarding ladder, a fresh water shower and a large, enclosed marine head (toilet). Ample shade, the spacious dive pre area, and ease of exit and re-boarding make the boat extremely functional and very popular with divers.

Splash Divers’ customers and dive masters, their Japanese and American managers and the cor­porate subsidiary’s president all expressed their satisfaction after extensive sea trials and the intro­duction of the vessel to Palauan waters early this year.

The Splash dive boat was sold and delivered by Pacific Boat Sales Inc., the Kevlacat distributor for the Pacific, which isbased in Kona, Hawaii.
