The shoal belongs to the Kalayaan Island Group, which the Philippines· claims as part of central Palawan province.
Zhang Longzhong, first secretary of the Chinese Embassy in Manila, said the fishem1en crune from Guangdong Province in southern China and were en route to Indonesia to fish. Along the way, they encountered turbulent weather and stopped by the shoal for safety.
Zhang said they have asked Philippine authorities to release the fishennen, contending that they did not violate any local laws. He said China
would consider filing a diplomatic protest if the demand is ignored.
U Cmdr. Cuba said the 23, including a woman, were turned over to the Palawan provincial committee on illegal entrants, which is investigating the incident
A Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs official said the Chinese may be charged with illegal entry and illegal fishing because a large amount of fish, along with fishing equipment, was found on their vessel.
Cuba said 20 small fiberglass boats, 20 outboard motors and 17 pieces of blasting caps used for dynamite fishing were also found on the radar-equipped vessel.
The 197-ton fishing boat,owned by the Hong Kong-based East Sea National Investment Co., was also
impounded in Palawan. The navy has increased its sea and
air patrols in the Spratlys since Chinese civilian and military vessels began intruding into Philippine-claimed areas several months ago, Cuba said.
The Spratlys are a chain of islands, shoals and atolls believed to be rich in oil, gas and other minerals. China, Vietnam and Taiwan claim all of the Spratlys, while the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei claim parts of the chain.
InMay,21 Chinese fishermen were arrested near Scarborough Shoal, anothercontestedareain theSouthChina Sea but not part of the Spratlys chain. They were released last month.
The tenitorial disputes, worsened by recent arrests, have strained diplomatic relations between the two countries.

CHANDIGARH, India (AP) - Flash floods and landslides in northern India have destroyed hundreds of homes, leaving residents stranded in the Himalayan foothills and killing at least 140 people.
Heavy rain that begart Monday in the state of Himachal Pradesh caused two rivers, the Sutlej and Andhara rivers, to overflow their banks. The resulting floods wiped out about a dozen villages and cut off main roads to the area, 250 kilometers (150 miles) from Chandigarh, the nearest big city.

RP. sloW"s labor process By Jojo Dass Variety News Staff
THE PI-IILIPINE Consulate has slowed down processing of employment documents for new hires even as it warned that Gov. Froilan Tenorio's plan to ban new Filipino workers could cause problems in RP-CNMI diplomatic relations.
"We are now tediously screening the (employment) documents and checking it with Manila for proper clearance," said Labor Attache Jesus Varela.
"We are not approving it as fast as we used to."
He said the Consulate's Labor Office has also stopped accepting payments for the processing.
Asked if the employment documents are actually being put on hold, Varela insisted: "We are screening it."
He declined to explain what precipitated the move.
Consu I Julia Heidemann, for her part, said developments arising from Tenorio's announcement of a ban on the employment of Filipino workers could "strain ties if these keep unresolved."
"And that is what I've been trying to avoid," said Heidemann, in an interview.
Heidemann, who said she was "surprised" by Tenorio's announcement, is seeking an audience with the governor"to clarify matters."
She is guessing Tenorio might have been "quite irked" by "somebody's action" in connection with a "confiden-

tial" -report pertaining to alleged labor abuses in the Commonwealth.
Heidemann refused to divulge names behind the report, saying it is "premature" to do so at the moment.
Heidemann said she will relay the information about Tenorio's plan to Manila.
"I'm surprised, I would like to know why ... what brought about this decision. I'm sure he (Tenorio) has his reasons. But I don't know what it is. I thought everything was getting along fine," she said.
MOU violations A source, meanwhile said "hun
dreds" of requests for temporary work authorizations filed by Filipino workers with labor complaints have piled up at the Department of Labor and Immigration.
This was despite the CNMI panel's assurance that workers locked in a labor dispute with their employers will be given TW As while government "expe-

ditiously" works on their cases. The source further noted that
"several" CNMI employers continue to hire Filipino workers without passing through documentation and processing by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, and thereby, skipping the issuance of Overseas Employment Certificates, a must for all outgoing Filipino overseas contract workers.
This may have been seen as another violation of the initial agreement which stipulates that no Filipino worker will be allowed work in the Commonwealth without obtaining an OEC.
Furthermore, the source said that at least 30 "exotic" danc-
Julia Heidemann
ers have been processed by the CNMI government despite an initial agreement on the ban of such workers in the Commonwealth.
It was alleged that the dancers were hired by at least five Saipan strip joints.
One of these nightspots was reported to have voluntarily closed down three months ago after its owner found out thatgovernmcnt operatives were about to come down and make arrests.
"They (CNMI panel) can not implement what they agreed to do," said the source.
"That's why he (Tenorio) has to back off the ongoing negotiations."
Disappointment
At least two Philippine labor officials, meanwhile, have express~d disappointment over the governor's pronouncements, saying the initial agreement on the employment of Filipino workers in CNMI would not have been reached had Tenorio not sent a letter asking for resumption of talks a few months back.
But the source said the letter could have just been "cosmetic."
"The direction the CNMI is taking," the source said, "appears to be that on fixing the image, not the problem."
The letter, delivered by former attorney general Sebastian Aloot, was received by RP labor officials who, according to Labor At tac he Varela, were then "on the brink of imposing" a temporary suspension on the deployment of Filipino workers to the Commonwealth.
Varela said imposing a ban on the deployment of Filipino workers ''is fine with us."
Tenorio, in a press conference Tuesday, said he will ban the recruitment of new workers from the Philippines, and will sign any legislation that would limit the stay of foreign workers in the Commonwe:ilth.
He said he has also suspended ongoing negotiations for the new MOU.
Manglona allays investors fears TINIAN Mayor Herman M_ Manglona has joined Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's appeal to Hongkong Entertainment (Overseas) Investments Ltd. to becalm amid the ongoing investigation of the gaming commission on Tinian.
"Rest assured, the people of Tinian voted overwhelmingly in favor of casino gaming in our island and there has been no change in the status quo in that regard," Manglona said in an Aug. 8 letter to Lawrence Fung, executive director of the Hongkong Entertainment.
Fung earlier wrote Manglona, expressing his wonies about the Senate'sprobeoftheTinianCasino Gaming Control Commission for alleged irregularities in the salary
Herman M. Manglona
payments and violations of the gruning law.
Hong Investments is scheduled to open later this year it~ $200 million project called TinianDynastyCasino and Hotel.
Manglona assured Fung that the Senate oversight hearing "is not targeting the casino per se, but is concerned with the fiduciary responsibility" of the commission.
The mayor also assured Fung that even if the commissioner were replaced evenrually "the starus of your development will not be affected in any way."
The commission, Manglona added, "has operating procedures to which it must adhere, as set out in the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989," Manglona said.
"The Senate oversight hearing is being held to safeguard the casino industry on Tinian and is not intended in any way to detr-.ict from it," the mayor said_

The shell, four inches in diameter and 18 inches long, was found half buried in the sand prompting authorities IObelievewavescaused by Winnie could have <lugged it
San Antonio, according to historians, wasamongnumeroussiteswhere US forces landed dming its 1944 invasion of Saipan.
It was the first time this year that a shell was found by the beach off San Antonio.
Bombs, specially that type dropped by US warplanes, have been known to abound ih Marpi and Tanapag, other sites of armed confrontations during World War II.
Close to 50 bombs have been unearthed in Marpi last year.
This year's most recent find was that <lugged up by workers making a jogger's lane from the

What good does it do?
·ng cases in the press By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff
LA WYERS' skills are honed in the courtroom. But there are lawyers who have a side career, thrusting into the role of public relations agents-for their clients at least ·
Other than arguing in front of the judge, many lawyers groom themselves for the camera, thus the rise of "star litigators." For example, the O.J. Simpson and the Timothy Mc Veigh cases have produced celebrity lawyers whooutstage their own celebrity clients.
Michael Dotts Robert Dunlap Dan DeRienzo Paul Lawlor Bill Campbell
Saipan is probably a microcosm of the U.S. mainland's legal landscape.
Several Saipan lawyers are acquianted with writing press releases, holding press conferences, and leaking sealed informationall providing a field day for reporters who frown at "no comment" responses. . "You have to understand that
the very fundamental reason why
lawyers talk to people and to the media goes back to the the same reason why courtrooms are open to the public. For justice to work it has to be. done in full view," says Michael Dotts, an associate of O'Connor, Dotts & Banes Law Office ..
"If you start closing the court doors and sealing the court proceedings, there would be a compete distrust in the judiciary. It's the same way if the lawyers don't talk to the press," says Dotts.
Soundbites But other lawyers, according
to acting Atty. Gen. Robert Dunlap, border on violating the legal profession's ethics code that limit what lawyers can discuss with the press.
"Some lawyers, when arguing in the court, take advantage of the fact the media is there. They do that either to look like a big shot or to poison the public perception of his case," says Dunlap.
Issuing press releases, and leaking confidential information to the media about an ongoing case, Dunlap says "is inappropriate especially if the only reason is to sway public opinion

to the lawyers' position." Such practice, he says, "is more
indicative of the lawyer exhibiting lack of confidence in his legal position."
The media is not so naive as to realize that some lawyers have other reasons for dealing with them, and Atty. Paul Lawlor won't underestimate what he thinks the media can do.
Many lawyers, Lawlor says, deal with the media "to get a better spin and togetthecommunitysupportfor the his position."
'That's pretty natural , and that's perceived to be helpful in affecting

the judicial process. And I would guess it probably does," says Law !or.
Cause celebre The Hillblom case is probably one
of the most labyrinthine legal stories that the island media can't resist hounding. Since the first paternal suit was filed following Larry Hillblom 's death in 1995, new twists developed, branching out more and more intri-cate issues.
More claimants to the Hillblom estate popped up recently, entailing the participation of probably more than two dozens attorneys that include the so-called "cadillac" lawyers who are skilled at molding public opinion.
While lawyers for both sides huff about the possible detriment of a leak to their clients, each party would,just the same, do selective leaks and employ their own spin on pretrial news stories.
Lawlor, who represents the Hillblom Charitable Trust, obseriles that the media's coverage of the Hillblom case "is excessive but not veiy analytical."Italsostrikes him as "kind of uneven."
'The media would run one side of thestoiy and then three days later, 1un the other side," he says.
Swayed by media? Not the judges, says Chief Public
Defender Dan DeRienzo. ''Forthemostpart,''DeRienzosays,
''.judges don't pay attention to media reports." Most likely to be swayed, DeRienzo says, are the juries.
"Judges are insensitive to public opinion particularly those who know how some lawyers try to manipulate the media, " says advocacy lawyer Bill Campbell.
Dunlap agrees. "When a judge decides on a
case, he sees a mount of documents in writing, while jurors are limited to what they are allowed to see. If the newspaper has published facts that the judge has kept from them due toevidentiary problems, the jurors are likely to decide based on what they read from the newspaper," Dunlap says. When that happens, he adds, the media "can poison the case and it will result in an invalid decision."
Free ad The controversial Ted Mitchell is
the island's most media-visible lawyer. One reason for this is Mitchell's constant blurting of biting remarks that satisfy the reporters' desire for good copy. (Biting remarks sound closer to human language than the strange legal jargon.)

Babauta: Akaka threat 'real'
Juan N. Babauta
By Zaldy Dandan Variety News Staff
UNITED States Sen. Daniel Akaka's (D-Hawaii) bill to impose federal and wage laws on the CNMI should be taken seriously by the Commonwealth's leaders, Resident Rep. Juan N. Babauta said yesterday.
"We cannot underestimate Senator Akaka," he said.
The ranking Democrat in the Senate Energy and Natural Re-
.More staffers · .from U.S. · .. ·.··. Congressto· · · visit Saipan ·. ·
By Zaldy Dandan Variety News Staff
A GROUP of U.S. congressional staffers is scheduled to arrive this weekend upon the invitation of Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio, his spokesperson said yesterday.
Mark Broadhurst said the I 0 or I 2 staffers are mostly from the U.S. Senate, and will include one working for U.S. Sen. Frank Murkowski (R-Alaska), chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The commitlee has scheduled a public hearing next month on a legislation that would strip the CNMI of control over its immigration and minimum wage policies.
Broadhurst said the staffers will be on Saipan for four or five days, and will meet with the governor, the members of the Legislat"ure, business and community organizations.
He said the list of the visiting staff members has not been finalized.
'·There's a congressional break right now so we 're hoping to get Senate staffers and some policy analysts," Broadhurst said.
"As in the past, the governor wants to familiarize the staffers and the policy analysts with the real storv in the CNMI. There's nothing out of the ordinary with this visit."
Critics of the CNMI have slammed the governor for spending money on lobbying efforts instead of using the money for labor and immigration reforms.
According to Tenorio, however, the CNMI r~ already "doing everything" in rcsolv;ng the concerns raised by the Cl in ton administration.
sources Committee, Akaka filed S. I JOO last July 31 (see related story in this issue), with six cosponsors, including the senators of President Clinton's hdme state, and two Republicans: Sens. Sus an Collins (R-Maine), Tim Hutchinson (R-Arkansas), Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), Dale Bumpers (D-Arkansas), Wendell
· Ford (D-Kentucky), Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico) and Ernest Hollings (D-South Carolina).
"I view this as very serious and unfortunate," Babauta said, noting that Akaka has always been helpful to insular areas.
However, the debate on the CNMI's immigration and wage policies has been politicized in Washington, D.C., Babauta said, with Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's lobbying efforts concentrated on the Republican members of Congress.
"The days of nonpartisan approach is gone," he added. "(The CNMI has become a) partisan issue, (which) makes my work more difficult."
Babauta, at the same time, reiterated the need for the resumption of the Covenant Section 902 talks, which the governor suspended shortly after President Clinton proposed the federalization oflocal immigration and wage policies.
"We should give the 902 process a chance," he said.
'"It has worked in the past and can work again. At least itwor!(ed under the leadership of (then) It. governor Benjamin T. Manglona.
"One thing we have to remember is that consultation takes a long time.
"Often, it doesn't produce immediate results, but at least it gives us a forum to air our concerns and
discuss issues with the federal government," Babauta said.
As the basic political document of the CNMI, the Covenant is the I 976 federal law that establ ishcd the Commonwealth in political union with the United States.
The Covenant exempted the CNMf from federal immigration, wage and taxation laws, but stated that Congress can make these Jaws applicable.

Were residents warned adequately on Winnie?
By Laila C. Younis Variety News Slafr"
SOME Saipan resident, complained yesterday that they were "not warned enough" by the Emergency Management Office about Super Typhoon Winnie which struck the CNMI in full force on Tuesday.
"l wa, not prepared because EMO did not do enough to warn us about the approaching typhoon. We suffered damages to our home because of that," said one resident.
"When you sec the satellite picture of the storm on T.V., it is so obvious how big and strong the Typhoon was. Why weren't 1J1ey aware of tl1e situation?", said another resident.
EMO, however, said tlieoffice did it, job.
"We issued out an advisory every few hours and put information in all the media as soon as we Jcarncdwhcnitwas a tropical stomi", said EMO Public
lnfomiation Officer Rose Ada "We detem1ine tl1e condition of a
stom1ortyphoonaccording totlie guide-1 ines we follow and to what extent it is a tl1reat to the general population. The final decision is made by the EMO Director," she said.
"When the storm was located far away, we thought it would not be a threat. On Monday evening, we received satellite photos of the storm and saw its size. We then declared Typhoon condition," said Ada.
According to Ada, the public must be reminded tliat storms and typhoons are very l!Jlpredictable.
'They can shift and losewindorpick up strengtli in short periods of time," she said.
"If a wanning advisory comes out of any sort, and we issue out pre-cautionary measures, the public must take it seriouslyandgetpreparedfortheworst," she added.

Sep~rate Chamorro classes mulled
By Laila_C. Younis Variety Newli Staff
CNMI public junior high and high schools should have a separate Chamorro language class as a graduation requirement for students, according to a Public School System official. .
"We requested to have it as a graduation requirement. In Hopwood Jr. High, it is written as a mandate, but yet it is not a graduation requirement. There is no consistency in that," PSS Chamorro Language Program Board Consultant Carmen Taimanao said.
"Right now, it is mandated from first to eighth grade. At Marianas High School, it is listed as 'Cultural Literacy' and offered only as half a credit. The Chamorro language should be taught separate from Lhat,"she said.
"We hope to have the Chamon"O language class offered as one credit in Jr. High and High School," she added.
In Guam, the requirement to take a ChamorTO language class is mandated from Kindergarten to High School.
"We largely believe that children here in the CNMI are _more
proficient in the Chamorro language thah in Guam," said Ann Rivera, coordinatorof Guam BOE Revival and Maintenance of Chamorro Language.
By protecting the language, Rivera added, "we build up more love, respect and self identity and we know ourselves better."
According to Tairnanao, she plans to do more activities within the Chamorro program, but the small number of staff in the department makes it difficult.
"I wish we had enough staff members. There is a lot work that is involved, as we do our own research and collect our own materials", said Taimanao.
"You can't just call up a book company. in on the Mainland and order a Chamorro language book. Sometimes I get frustrated when we do not have enough people to work on projects we would like to do," she said.
"Today, the language can be deemed at risk, especially with the young generation. We have to make sure it is passed down and still valued for future generations. Our children should be literate in our language and culture and be proud of it," she added.

Guam airport a challenge to pilots By JOSEPH COLEMAN
AGANA, Guam (AP) Pilots who have flown into Gurun's airport say the unlit, rolling hillside where a Korean Air jet crashed last week can easily be mistaken for clouds during stormy weather, investigators said Tuesday.
Federal agents have been interviewing pilots familiar with Gurun International Aiiport as part of the probe into the deadly crash last Wednesday that killed 226 people.
A ight 80 I slammed into the hill in a rainstorm, and investigators are trying to find out if the weatherobscured the pilot's view. At least one system thatwouldhavewamedhimtheplane was too close to the ground was not working.
Top investigator Gregory Feith of the National Transportation Safety Board said that even the most experienced flight crews found night approaches over the hillside in bad weather tricky.
"The rolling hills sometimes look · like clouds," he said.
It is notyetcertain whether the pilot
was using special instrumentation to land the plane or was using what is known as a visual approach, so itis too soon to say what impact visibility had on the crash.
The pilot had last landed at Guam International Airport on July 4, and he used a visual approach, investigators said. He had seen a training video on the airport and should have been prepared for the landing, NTSB member George Black said.
Radar data on the weather the night of the crash showed heavy rain, but not especially treacherous conditions, Black said.
'There was no indication of_ .. severe turbulence or wind shear," he said. '
Investigators are focusing on why the pilot was flying so close to the ground.· An airport warning system that could have alerted officials of the danger was crippled by a software enur.
The investigation on the crash site in Guam is finished, and the work will now move to Washington, where of-
DPHS sends staff to assist in Guam effort
By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff
THE DEPARTMENT of Public Health Services has sent three of its staff to Guam to assist in the psychological needs of the crash survivors and their relatives. ·
DPHS Secretary Dr. Isamu J. Abraham told the Variety yesterday that the department dispatched Dr. Anne Erhard, a clinical psychologist, and Judith Avery, a psychiatric nurse, to provide health and critical incident management
Abraham said he also allowed Dr. Marcia Meckler, medical director of mental health, to assist Erhard and Avery on the mission to work with health providers in Guam to address the psychiatric and psychological needsofthevictimsduringthisperiod of adjustment
The secretal)' said last Monday ElenaScraggs,Guamdirectorofmental health and substance abuse, re-
quested for personnel assistance from theDPHS Division ofMental Health.
"We in the DPHS continue to te quite concerned and in constant communication with tl1e health personnel in Guam, thrqugh our CNMI Liaison Office about the after effect of the illfated Korean Air Line Hight 80 I'," said Abraham_
"Ifit ( crash) happened in Saipan I know we are not ready to address such a disaster of that magnitude," he pointf:d out.
Shortly after the Aug. 6 crash, the Commonwealth Health Center immediately sent emergency medical supplies to Guam Memorial Hospital where some of the victims were taken into.
The Boeing 747 was reportedly carrying 254 passengers from South Korea when it crashed into the dense underbrush ofarocky hill in Guam. Authorities said 29 people survived.
ficials will analyze the data Some NTSB agents will stay on in Gurun to help the families of the victims, most of them South Korean.
Heavy rain brought by Typhoon Winnie doused Guam on Tuesday and slowed the collection of remains from the crash site. So far, 41 of the
bodies have been identified Md 12 were to be sent home to South Korea early Wednesday, said Clifford Guzman, and aide to the governor.

CUC expecting power situation to nonnalize
-· ~---
By Jojo Dass Variety News Staff
YOUR power supply could have stabilized by now.
William Ohle, Commonwealth Utilities Corp. PIO, in an interview yesterday said the agency expects to have completed repairs of damaged powerlines last night
'.'Allofourcrewsareouttryingtoget the systems that are down. We' re hoping to get most things normal by tonight (Wednesday night)," said Ohle.
He said priority was given to main lines "to get the traffic lights working
and the hospital on." He said CUC is also checking water
pumps and wells. Areas affected by ongoing repair
works are parts of Navy Hill, Chinatown, Garapan, Gualo Rai, San Jose, Chalan Kanoa, Kagman, San Antonio,Koblerville,Dandan,andSan Vicente. ·
"We' re seeing spots of areas that are still out One block will be out, the next block will be on. That's the way they (broken power line) are being repaired,'' explained Ohle.
Ohle said strong winds with its fly-
ing debris have been causing short circuits thereby necessitatmg closures of power lines or "feeders" so that repairs can be done.
"We need to fix all these little problems before we can tum the whole system back on. So when one small place has a problem, wehavetotumthe whole system off because it can't be isolated;" said Ohle.
At least four feeders has to be shut down as Winnie swept through the island Tuesday.

Tenorio viewed the governor's plan as a propcrresponse tow hat he consid-
..Actually, the issue on banning new workers from the Philippines and tl1e proposal to limit the stay of workers originally came from the legislature," Tenorio said.

He said that at one time, the governor refused to sign the two year limit proposal as it would be very costly to change employes every two years.
hi couldn't blame him (tl1e governor) why he changed his mind. I tl1ink if they are not too happy and contented here, they should pack their things and go!" he said.
Tenorio encourages tl1e Commonwealtl1 to find an alternative source of workers other than the Philippines.
'There are plentyoflegitimatecomplaints raised by Filipino employees but there arc also plenty of irrelevant complaints thathurtgood employers," Tenorio stressed.
"We should punish companies or employers that are infiinging on the laws."
Tenorio said he hopes that govemmemofficials will be able to convince the governor lo sign the delayed signing of RP- CNMI Memorandum of U~derstanding for the good of both the CNMI employers and Filipino employees.

FijiO SUV A, Fiji (AP) - Casinos Austria Ltd. said Wednesday that Fiji has approved its plan to build a US $ 61.2 million casino and 200-room hotel on Denarau Island resort near Fiji's Nadi International Airport '
Until three years ago, the government condemned gambling. But last year the Cabinet ignored protests from the powerful Methodist
01urch of Fiji and other anti-gambling groups and approved ca5inos under strict regulation.
Dr. TI1omas Janick, a director of Casinos Austria. said he was confident tl1e project will go ahead after Fiji's
Parliament passes new gambling laws. John Phare, a consultant with the
casino company, said Casinos Austria had signed a memorandum of understanding and letter of intent for the Denarau site.
TheFijiTradeandlnvestmentBoard approved the project conditional on Parliament passing two bills, a gambling and lotteries bill and a gaming machine bill, Phare said.
Casinos Austria, said to operate over I 00 casinos worldwide, will finance half the project and an international hotel operator and an Australian company are interested in joining iL

20% OFF HONG KONG (AP)- Hong Kong spent U.S. $ 1 billion last month in defending the local currency against a speculator, Financial Secretmy Donald Tsang said Tuesday.
He told reporters that the speculator, not named but desctibed as active in the region, wa, driven away in a maner of hours.
TheHongKongcurrencyispegged at 7.80 Hong Kong dollars to one U.S. dollar.
TsangalsodefendedHongKong's
decision to contribute U.S.$ I billion to a rescue plan for Thailand.
I-le said the move showed that Hong Kong is a major financial center, and that it has a responsibility to curb currency speculation in the region.
The Hong Kong contribution will suppl~ment a package of$ 16 billion put together by the International Monetary Fund and announced Monday in Tokyo.
Tsang didn't say exactly when
the speculative activity took place. But a spokesman for the Hong
Kong Monetary Auttiority, the territory's de facto central bank, said Wednesday that the authority intervened on a single day in July to defend the Hong Kong dollar against the activity of a single speculator. .

The Malaysian ringgit, Indonesian rupiah and Philippine peso were sharply lower against the U.S. dollar by mid-morning. The Thai baht was also lower despite the domestic market's closure for a public holiday Tuesday.

thority director said the current exchange rate was "appropriate."
The Singapore government will act ifnecessary against sharp movements, said Yeo Lian Sim, a director of the the Monetary Authority, which functions as Singapore's ·central bank. ·
"If the MAS considers the Singapore dollar is way out of line, we will act in the market," Ms. Yeo said at a briefing on the city-state's second-quarter economic growth. ·
Some market players interpreted the comments as meaning that the central bank was prepared to allow the currency greater freedom to depreciate in line with other regional currencies such as the Malaysian ringgitand the Thai baht.
• Although Singapore's dollar is much stronger than other cu!1"encies in the region, fighting to keep it high while others fall would hurt the island republic's exportdriven economy.
As long as other Southeast Asian cu!1"encies-particularly the Malaysian ringgit - continue to fall against the U.S. dollar, the · Singapore dollar will probably continue to drop.
But the sinking Singapore currency - which hit a low of dlrs 1.5130 Tuesday from dlrs 1.483 in late Asian trading Monday -had an impact throughout the region as traders rushed to sell other Southeast Asian cu!1"encies.
The Singapore dollar has long been regarded as a relative safehaven currency.
The exchange rate is tightly managed by the authority against a trade-weighted basket of currencies.
Earlier, Ministry of Trade and Industry officials stressed that Singapore's economy is fundamentally healthy, having recorded year-on-year growth of 7.8 percent in the second quarterof I 997.
They also said Singapore is unlikely to be adversely affected by any slowing in regional growth rates resulting from cu!1"ency depreciation in neighboring countries.

Warrant out for Ranariddh By ROBIN McDOWELL
PH;\0:\1 PENH, Cambodia (AP) - A Cambodian military court has issued atl"est wammts for deposed First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh on national security and illegal weapons char!.!es.
Co'pie; of the warrnnts. signed by 111ilitary investigatiw judge Nou Clrnntha. were seen by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Second Prime Minister Hun Sen justified his July 5-6 ouster of Ranariddh by alleging he had endangered national security and illegally imported war weapons.
His charges against Ranariddh are generally considered politically motivated.
An attempt had been made to issue a wammt on the weapons charge bL~fore the coup, but it was considered only an act of political harass111ent since Ranariddh then held parliamentary immunity from criminal prosecution.
Ranariddh was out of the country during the takeover. After the coup, his supporters were harassed, chased into exile, and in a few cases killed.
111e wa!1"ants were signed last Friday, one day after the National Assembly voted to strip Ranariddh of his parliamentary immunity.
An Aug. 7 letter from the acting president of the National Assembly, Loy Sim Chheang, informed the military court that it could proceed with prosecuting Ranariddh because 98 of the 99 members of parliament in attendance voted to lift his immunity.
Most of the other members of the 120-seat assembly are in exile, in protest or in fear of Hun Sen' s takeover.
Hun Sen, the country's top leader even though he remains second prime minister, has said Ranariddh is welcome to return but must stand trial.
Hun Sen and other members of his govcri1mcnt who tn1vckd Monday to Beijing to meet with Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk wcr~ planning to present :1 copy or the warrant to the monarch, who is also Ranal'iddh's fa-1hcr, 1hc daily newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea reported Tuesday.
The delegates - including Acting Head of State Chea Sim and l{anariddh 's newly appointed successor. Ung Huot - met the king Tucsday at his residence in the Chinese capital to discuss political cliangcs in Cambodia since Inst month's coup.
Ung I luot, who also still holds his old position of foreign minister, has been called a "puppet" by Sihanouk, who said he regards the ouster or Ranariddh illeg:d.
In May, when a two-ton ship· mcnt of arms including pistols, aosau Itri Iles, rocket launchers and th<Ju,ands of rounds of ammunit i un addressed to Prince Ranariddh arrived in Cambodi,1, I Jun Sen immediately charged it wa, illegal and blocked its delivery.
Ranariddh s,tid the shipment was destined for his bodyguard unit, a 111ilit,11-y detail outside the normal clrnin of cnmmand. llun Sen also maintains a bodyguard
unit, larger and better armed than Ranariddh 's.
Orie wa1rnntcharged Ranariddh with violating the orders of high authorities and endangering national security, while the other accused him of illegally purchasing and importing weapons.
Gen. Ney Thol, chief of the military court, said that "besides these offenses, Prince Ranariddh must be charged with other complicated matters including storing items of the country's national heritage in his house," Rasmei Kampuchea reported.
The tn:asures were reportedly discovered inside the prince's rcsi
·dence following la,t month's coup, :md ";u-e still under investigation," Ney 1110! said, adding that the exiled princcwill likely be l1ied in absentia.
It w,t, not 1-epo1tcd whether the object<; in question had been damaged during the coup, when Hun Sen' s Doops laid siege to Rimaiiddh 's residence, filing rocket propelled grenades ;md other heavy weapons at near! y point blank range into the compound.
Two Cambodian foot soldiers loyal to coup leader Hun Sen look at two dead resistance fighters Saturday. The soldiers were killed the day before in a battle for the northern hamlet of Khtum near the Thai border. AP

The bill's "findings" states that the CNMI used its immigration policy "to recruit a large, low-cost foreign force of desperately poor individuals with no meaningful opportunity to demand safe living and working conditions of fair wages and benefit~."
Fmther, "The U.S. Department of Laoor has uncovered a systematic pattem of labor abuses .. .including involuntaiy seivitude and peonage. illegal withholding of wages earned, nonpayment of overtime wages, illegal deductions fium paychecks, kickbacks of wages paid to employees, employee lcx:kdowns in worksites and living brun1cks, and unsafe and unhealthy working and living environments."
The bill also noted that workers recruited from China are required ta waive rights guaranteed to worker,; on U.S. soil, and are charged a 25 percent fee for their net pay.
Likewise,"the U.S. Department of Justice hasdetennined that the immigration and labor situation in the CNMI has created a majororganized crime problem ... which involves immigrant document fraud, public corruption, racketeering, drug trafficking, prostitution, pornography, extortion, gambling, smuggling and other fonns of violent crime."
Akaka' s bill also mentioned a "sys-
main street in western Garapan. On the other hand, the third
suspected pimp Bo, a close friend of Linda, takes care of customers at another G arapan establishment, a store, the documents showed.

"In some inst.mces, women who resist are kidnapped, raped and tortured," he said.
IntroducedlastJuly31,S. I 100ha~ been referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources chaired by Sen. Frank Murkowski (RAlaska), who has scheduled hearings on the bill next month.
Akaka and Murkowski visited Saipan early lm.t year.
Akaka is the ranking Democrnt in the SeniJ.te Energy and Natural Resources Committee. His bill's six cosponsors include the senators of President Clinton's home state, and two Republicans: Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Tim Hutchinson (R-Arkansas), Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), Dale Bumpers (D-Arkansas), Wendell Ford (D-Kentucky), Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico) and Ernest Hollings (D-South Carolina).
Akaka, in introducing the bill, included in the Senate records the Clinton administration's report on the CNMI and highly-critical articles an the Commonwealth's labor abuse cases.
Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio has said that his administration isalready"doing everything" to check the abuses.
pornographic video types and other sex equipment is used as front for prostitution, the AGO alleged.
Bo would then "show customers a photo album of Linda House's female employees" and allegedly persuade them to pay for sex with any lady in the album.
The documents stated that customers are either picked up at the store or escorted to Linda House by someone who will then drive the customers and the ladies to a nearby motel.
Linda keeps records of each customer who pays, the affidavit alleged, and places the

and transferred it to his special executive assistant."
"We have already begun consultations with the Governor's staff regarding actions to be taken against the special assistant," the OPA said.
Administrative sanctions that maybe imposed on Pierce include reprimand, suspension without pay, termination of employment, and civil suit for damages or return of government money.
Pierce could not be reached for comment as of press time yesterday. · The special assistant for drug and substance abuse office entered into a contract with the Washington Statebased MBG in March 1996 far the design, development and implementation of a drug-and-

"There is a small pocket size book witli the same information and is kept at the counter to include condoms. Condoms are given to the ladies that are picked and paid for by the customers," said the affidavit.
The prostitution oper;tion allegedly started when Linda House opened in July I 996. By threatening the ladies with deportation, Linda forced them to work and engage in sex, the documents added.
Linda, through counsel Perry B. !nos, has denied charges she was promoting prostitution.
alcohol free workplace program for the CNMI.
OPA found that Pierce violated the CNMI Procurement Regulations when he awa~ded the contract to MBG under the "sole source" procurement method "without exploring other possible sources to assure a fair and reasonable price for the project."
As a result, OPA said, "public funds were not protected from waste and abuse because of the lack of competition in the procurement of the contract."
Pierce's move, OPA also said, constituted a breach of the CNMI Ethics Act as he knew his sister Teresa Pierce would be involved as a subcontractor for the project.
Teresa, OPA found, was the · one who endorsed the hiring of MBG which later hired her.
Teresa "was improperly benefitted by more than $45,000," according to OPA.
OP A also reported that "MBG was overpaid in excess of firm fixed price" and that company submitted "unallowable" billings amounting to $11,530 after the contract was cancelled.
The contract's original firm fixed price was $100,175, but OPA found that MBG billed the CNMI based on actual hours or cost incurred and not based on performance or submission of contract deliverables.
Excessive payments also came as a result of MBG's move to continue performing additional advisory session despite the government's decision to cancel the contract on Nov. I, 1996.
OPA has therefore recommended to halt payment of the additional bi !ling.

Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio, who has earlier said he will oppose the bill, on Tuesday announced that be will now sign any legislation that would limit the stay of alien workers in the CNMI.
CNMI business leaders have said that the bill would only lead to higher labor costs and more expensive consumer goods.

Garnett will earn$ 2. I million this season in the final year of his three-year,$ 5.5 million contract. Taylor said Garnett's agent, Eric Fleisher, is seeking a six-year contract worth at least$ I 32 million.
Taylor said the offer would have paid Garnett slightly better, around $ I 7.2 million on an an-
nual b~sis, than Shaquille O'Neal 's seven-year, $ 120 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"That w11s our hope, that he could say he's got the biggest contract ever and we could conclude this very quickly,"Taylor said. "He isn't as established as O'Neal is, but we thought there were a lot of reasons for him to accept this - and he may still ac-cept it." ·
Taylor said the offer will remain on the table until Oct. I, after which no contract can be signed until the end of the season.
He said the Wolves are intent on keeping Garnett, describing him as 'the heart of the team and

our future." Under the National Basketball
Association's collective bargaining contract, all players can become free agents at the end of their third year.
Garnett could sign with any team after this season, but other teams would have difficulty fitting Garnett in under the salary cap.
The NBA permits teams to sign their own players regardless of the salary cap.
Garnett jumped directly from high school to the NBA. Coming out of Fairngut Academy in Chicago, he was the fifth player taken in the I 995 NBA draft. He averaged I 0.4 points and 6.3 rebounds in his rookie year, shooting 49 percent from the field.
He developed into an All-Star in his second year, averaging I 7 points and ejght rebounds while.

By Doug Ferguson MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) -No one is talking about the Grand Slam any more. Not even Tiger Woods.
The way Woods made a mockery of the Masters in April, it seemed as though he would have at least one more major championship in hand coming into this week's PGA Championship at Winged Foot.
All it would take, it seemed, was his awesome length, a little imagination with the short game and a hot putter.
Even Woods will concede that's not as easy as it sounds.
"Augusta is one of those oncein-a-Iifetime experiences when you play that well and it happens to be in a major," he said Tuesday after a practice round. "Usually it's another tour event, but I was lucky enough to have everything gel. You just don't find that very often."
That's a far cry from his assessment before the U.S. Open, when he said winning golf's four major championship in the same year was only a matter of winning the right four tournaments.
"Realistically, it's next to impossible to win all four," he said

Green also homered as Toronto sent the Twins to their fourth straight loss.
