THE DECLARATION of a state of emergency last week may have resolved the crisis-resulting from the failure of the Legislature to pass an appropriations act but now there is confusion over the amount of money available to different government agencies.

By CLARE NULLISGENEVA (AP) - A UN agency is calling on 50 nations to help people fleeing former Yugosla­via in Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War n. “We are now talking of 2.5 million people,” said Soren Jessen- Petersen of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refu­gees.” And there are thousands of new refugees every day.”

The agency will hold a one-day meeting on Wednesday in an at­tempt to attract extra money to pay for relief efforts in the area.

The UNHCR also hopes to en­courage Western European na­tions to accept more refugees.

Germany has about 200,000 Yugoslav refugees and has com­plained in the past few days that its European Community part­ners should open their borders more.

France and Britain have little more than 1,000 refugees each and maintain that refugees should remain as near as possible to their homes pending a solution. Hun­gary, Austria and Sweden each house about 50,000 refugees.

Above all, the Geneva meeting is meant to increase international awareness of the size and urgency of the problem.

“If we don’t act now we may be stuck with a permanent refugee problem at the heart of Europe that could go well beyond 1 mil­lion people,’’Jessen-Petersen told journalists.

“We are concerned - with the practiceofethnicexpulsiongoing on on a very, very rapid scale - that this solution of return is more and more elusive for each day that passes.”

He said the conference was humanitarian rather than political

H e a v y s h e lls r a in e d o n S a ra v e jo , su b u rbHEAVY shells rained on Sarajevo and the nearby suburb of Dobrinja as leaders of Bosnia’s warring factions tried to bridge their deep differences at peace talks.

UN officials said about 370 Ukrainian soldiers in a 90-vehicle convoy leftBelgrade, the Serbian and Yugoslav capital, for Sarajevo on Tuesday to replace Canadian peacekeepers guarding the airport for relief flights. About 20 people were reported wounded and some dead, but po­lice had no exact figures Tuesday after about 30 shells rocked Sarajevo’s city center, and 50 shells fell on Dobrinja, near the airport.

In London, a European Com­munity envoy mediated a second day of peace talks, but little progress was reported toward ending the nearly 5-month-old ethnic war. The foreign minister of Bosnia’s Muslim-led govern­ment, Haris Silajdzic.saidhe will not negotiate before there is a firm cease-fire.

“We refused to be shoved car starved into any kind of agree­ment,” Siladzjic said. “We are not prepared to go on indefinitely talking when the result is 50,000

people killed and up to a third of the population expelled.” Silajdzic pleaded for an air drop of supplies to the besieged town of Gorazde, the last government stronghold in the area southeast of Sarajevo. He said the Serb shelling “never stops.”

“Rightnow about75,000 people - including 12,000children under the ageof 14 - are near starvation,” he said.

UN officials were considering an airdrop, but no decision has been made. · Casualty counts differ widely, but some estimates say tens of thousands of people have died in fighting since Bosnia’s Muslims and ethnic Croats declared independence Feb. 29. Ethnic Serbs, seeking to remain part of Serb-dominated Yugoslavia, have taken over more than two-thirds of Bosnia. Nearly one-third of Bosnia’s 4.3 million people have fled their homes.

The leadewf the Bosnian Serbs, Radovan Karadzic, appealed for face-to-face talks and another cease-fire attempt.

A UN relief convoy of21 trucks stopped for the night near Novi Travnik, about 50 miles (80 ki­lometers) northwest of Sarajevo.

in nature, although delegates hopfed to lay the groundwork to allow refugees to return home.

“The major thrust of what we are looking for is to achieve a situation so that the refugees can return to their homes so that the practice of ethnic cleansing is not allowed , to succeed,” said US Assistant Secretary of State John Bolton. “Boundaries cannot permissably be changed by force. ” Bosnian Serbs have attracted most blame for driving out Croatians and Muslims to ensure that whole towns and villages are populated only by Serbs. However, UN of­ficials say that all ethnic groups must share the guilt.

Croatia is currently sheltering more than 600,000 displaced people, more than half of thein from Bosnia. But authorities say said they are unable to cope with more arrivals because they get no

help from the international com­munity.

Overall there are 1.8 million people displaced within former Yugoslavia and an estimated 500,000people in other European countries. UNHCR launchedan appeal for $ 171 million earlier this year, but that was based on contingency plans for only 1 million refugees. UNHCR says the existing appeal is still $60 million short of its target and that it will have to be revised to take into account the increased num­bers and the need to provide shelter materials in advance of winter.

Despite a successful airlift to the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, hundreds of thousands of des­perate civilians are cut off in other parts of the republic. UNHCRhad to abandonefforts to send supplies to the beseiged town of Goradze after its convoy hit a landmine.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali on Tuesday urged more diplomacy and negotiation with Iraq in an effort to resolve a range of problems and persuade Baghdad to comply with UN re­quirements.

Boutros-Ghali, in an interview with The Associated Press, also praised Rolf Ekeus, the UN offi­cial who forged an agreement under which Iraq permitted UN weapons inspectors to search the Ministry of Agriculture. That ended a 21-day standoff and averted threatened allied air strikes. Ekeus, he said, “has done a wonderful job,” and added it was a case where diplomacy succeeded.

On Tuesday, Ekeus returned to Baghdad while arms inspectors searched the Ministry of Agri­culture under a controversial agreement on the team’s compo­sition that allowed only Europeans inside.

Iraqi officials hailed the accord, saying they had influenced selec­tion and kept the United States and its Gulf War allies out of building which it called a symbol of sovereignty. ·

While not rejecting a military

option, the secretary-general em­phasized the importance of diplomacy at this stage in which the immediate crisis over access to the ministry was defused but anti-UN demonstrations are in­creasing.

“For the time being, I will rec­ommend more negotiations,” he said in answer to a question about how he would deal with various problems. They include threats to the security of UN personnel; Iraq’s refusal to sell oil to finance war reparations; and its decision not to renew an agreement pro­viding for the operation of UN guards and relief workers.

Iraq also has rejected the de­marcation by a UN commission of its boundary with Kuwait and reportedly is using fixed-wing aircraft to attack rebellious Shiite Muslims in the south.

“Our role as the United Na­tions,” Boutros-Ghali said, “is to persuade the Iraqis that it is in their interest and in the interest of the Iraqi people to fulfill the dif­ferent resolutions” adopted by the Security Council. Before it was persuasion and diplomacy that achieved UN objectives, he said, adding that Iraq has shown flexibility in the past.

He acknowledged that if di plomacy fails, “we have to move

to the enforcement of peace. But before reaching this stage,. we have to pursue all avenues to solve the problems peacefully,” he said.

The secretary-general, asked whether the threat of military strikes was premature, com­mented: “I ’m not saying it is premature. Persuasion has two sides. You can have diplomatic persuasion and you can have an­other kind of persuasion. They complement each other.”

Boutros-Ghali said Iraq’s in­centive to comply with UN resolutions is the lifting of sanc­tions.

US President George Bush, however, has said that sanctions will not be lifted as-long as Iraqi President Saddam Hussein re­mains in power.

The secretary-general said he did not think that Bush’s decision should diminish Iraq’s incentive because the entire Security Council would decide whether Iraq has fulfilled numerous obli­gations.

Concerning the safety of UN personnel, including guards who have been attacked in Kurdish- controlled areas, Boutros-Ghali said that all precautions were be­ing taken. He said that if their lives were in danger they would be withdrawn from the country.

m o v e f o r s e a t

i n C o n g r e s sCNMI Resident Representative Juan N. Babauta has praised the decision by the House Commit­tee on Federal and Foreign Relations to move ahead on con­sideration of a resolution calling for a Northern Marianas seat in the US congress.

Committee chairman Crispin Deleon Guerrero recently issued a call for public comment on the resolution and he would hold hearings on the matter in each senatorial district in September.

“Ibelieve yourplan will provide the people with the opportunity they need to air their views on Northern Marianas representation in Congress,” Babauta said in a letter to Guerrero. “Just as im­portantly, I think the hearings will be educational. Those who attend will learn from listening to and sharing thoughts with others. Those who read the press accounts or see the hearings on TV or hear them on the radio will also have a xhance to learn about the issue.”

Babauta also announced that the planned to inform US con­gressmen of the resolution Guerrero introduced at this week’s oversight hearing on labor prac­tices in the Northern Marianas. The Subcommittee on Insular and International Affairs is investi­gating the alien labor situation.

“I believe that this hearing will really highlight how handicapped we are by not having our own member of Congress,” Babauta said. “If any other insular area were under scrutiny, a represen­tative of that area would be seated as a member of the subcommit­tee. That representative would have helped select witnesses and would have the opportunity to question them. That representa­tive would have had access to the research assistance of the library of Congress and the support of the subcommittee staff andcouldhave helped bring ideas and informa­tion before you.

“And when the hearing is over and the subcommittee reports the results of its investigations into labor practices in the Northern Marianas and recommends action to Congress the insular area rep­resentative would participate in formulating the report and rec­ommendations.

“Instead, the governor and the legislative leaders from the Northern Marianas - without their own representative to give them a sense of equality - must sit before the subcommittee to be questioned by other people’s congressmen. I am veryfrustrated by this situa­tion.”

i n J a p a n e s e r e s o r t p r o j e c t sWASHINGTON, D.C. — The delay in the construction of golf resorts here due to such excuses by developers as funding restric­tions improved by the Japanese Ministry of Finance is very dis­appointing, House Speaker- Thomas P. Villagomez said Tuesday.

Villagomez, who was in Japan ' recently, learned from the Minis­try of Finance that such restrictions had never been im­posed by the ministry and that it

does interfere with banking insti­tutions for projects outside Japan.

“We can understand and ap­preciate reasonable delays so imposed by theCoastal Resources Management here or the Army Corps of Engineers in Honolulu,” he said. “But to delay already approved projects involving public land using alleged restric­tions in. release of funds by the Ministry of Finance is rather un­fair and unreasonable.”

Projects to which the legisla-

ture has approved large parcel of public land for golf resort devel­opments include Shimizu Corporation, Haas and Hayttie, UMDA, APEX — submerged land lease, Niizeki, NICO, Southern Cross and Marianas Agupa.

“If the delay is in fact due to legitimate reasons, then we still await the actual construction of these projects in the immediate future. But if these delays are due to these companies buying time

in view of the speculative nature of their business ventures, then the Legislature will have to re­consider what really is the bottom on all these proposals to which we have given our approval.”

“If per chance these proposed golf resorts are really speculative groups, then each must be candid enough to come up front and de­clare that such is the nature of their businesses. A lot of well intentioned developers and in­vestors are also eyeing the CNMI.

ACTING Governor Benjamin T. Manglona has sought the help of Rear Admiral Edward K. Kristensen, commander-in-chief of the US Navy’s Pacific Com­mand, in the preparations for the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Saipan.

Manglona, in a letter to Kristensen, requested the partici­pation of the Navy’s civic action teams in the preparation of the site for the proposed monument

to honor American and Marianas war dead.

“The most critical element of our planning for the 50th an­niversary involves the planning and construction of a fitting tribute to honor the nearly 4,000 American servicemen who made the supreme sacrifice during the invasion of Saipan. Time is of the essence, so we need whatever help , we could get,” Manglona said.

According to . Manglona, the civic action teams could help by clearing, compacting, backfilling and grading the area on which the monument would be situated, in order to save time and money.

“We need their help so that we can accelerate the project. By helping us compact and backfill some areas of the park, all we have to do is build on them,” said Manglona.

Manglona said he intended to

keep everything going to meet the June ¿994 deadline for con­struction.

Only recently, Manglona and Governor Lorenzo I. DL. Guerrero met with retired Lt. Gen. Claude Kicklighter, who was appointed by President George Bush to spearhead all celebration activities commemorating the 50th anniversary .of World War fi.

A CAR-riding thief snatched the gold-col«ed bag of a woman tour­ist from Sweden while .she was walking in front of GIG disco­theque in Garapan Tuesday night.

The police said Barbara Maiica Shimada whose age was not indi­cated in the report, lost two credit cards and ablack wallet containing aboutSl ,000worth of yen bills and $280 in different US dollar de-

nominations.The snatching caused a lacera­

tion in the lower elbow of the Swede’s right arm. She was treated at the Commonwealth Health Cen­ter.

investigation showed that the tourist was walking on the side­walk in front of GIG when a man ridingina“light-cd«edcar” which was moving slowly, snatched her bag at 11:30 and fled.

Shimada was bileted at the Nikko

Hotel.About two hours after the

snatching incident, the police ar­rested a male teenager caught try­ing to steal the license plate of a car parked « 1 the southern side Oi GIG’s.

The teenager was arrested for civil mischief. His identity was witheld by authorities.

Meanwhile, another car was ex­tensively damaged when a cow suddenly crossed the highway in

Capitol Hill Tuesday afternoon.Investigation disclosed that Aida

Fernando was driving on the highway at 3:35 pjn. when the brown car suddenly crossed.

The car’s front hood and front right fend« were badly damaged. The cow was later traced to be owned by a Max Cruz.

Three days earlier, another cow suddenly crossed the highway in Kagman, causing heavy damage to a four-do« Mazda car.

G o n z a l e s r e c e i v e s T r u m a n s c h o l a r s h i pJOHN Oliver DLR. Gonzales, re­cipient of the National Harry S. Truman Scholarship, was awarded anintemshipunderthe 1992Truman Summer Institute Program.

The program is sponsored by the Hairy S. Truman Scholarship foun­dation and the University of South­ern California’s Washington Public Affairs Center. Assigned to the Divi­sion of Hazardous Materials Man­agement under the Office of Envi­ronmental Affairs (OEA) at the De­partment of the Interior, Gonzales immediately became immersed in the issues arid concerns of OEA

The division has benefitled greatly from this college student’s unique

talents and skills. John Oliver has made such an outstanding impres­sion that Ed Cassidy deputy assistant secretaryfcr policy, has requested he return next year to continue his work with the department.

Jonathan P. Deason, director of OEA, asked Gonzales to conduct a brief presentation on “Waste Man­agement in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.” In'a memorandum addressed to the assis­tant secretary Territorial and Interna­tional Affairs and various directors within the Depaitmentof the Interior, Deason announced the presentation and encouraged participation by the appropriate personnel in each divi-

sion.Before a group of about 20

people, including Donald Senese, acting assistant secretary for Terri­torial and International Affairs, John Oliver discussed the current state of solid waste management in the CNMI and the future impact of a comprehensive planning strategy currently being developed be tween the division of Environmental Quality, the Department of Public Works and the US EPA’s Régirai IX office in San Francisco.

Stating that, “the CNMI should place great importance on environ­mental concerns, especially in re­lation to the booming economic

growth of the islands”, Gonzales introduced the subject of solid waste and the need for environ­mentally sound programs to ad­dress this issue.

With the aid of maps and charts, and the viewing of a 1988video of the CNMI, JohnOlivercaptivaied the audience fra approximately 45 minutes. Talking about how the need was great fra the comple­tion of the Maipi landfill to bear the. overload currently being- dumped at the Puerto Rico dump site, Gonzales stressed that the CNMI’s was an “optimistic out­look” in terms of future demands.

Guerrero has asked the Niizeki International Saipan Co. Ltd. (NIS) to facilitate the release of a $1.1 million public benefit con­tribution in return for legislative approval of the company’s resort project

The Legislature approved the public land lease agreement be­tween NIS and the Marianas Pub­lic Land Corp. (MPLC) on June 21, 1991 through Joint Session Resolution No. 7-6 J.S.D.l.

“As the speaker of the House at that time, I especially recall the diligent efforts of both sides in attempting to finalize the lease

terms in a manner acceptable to both the Legislature .and NIS,” Guerrero said in a letter to NIS vice president Seiki Nakamura. “Because of the efforts of all, Saipan will soon have a world class resort development upon completion of the NIS resort pro­ject”

Guerrero also recalled that NIS promised to make a $1.1 million contribution to the Common­wealth, of which $ 1 million would be used for the construction of a gymnasium, classrooms and re­lated facilities at the Marianas High School and the remaining $100,000 to be used for the

maintenance, improvement and preservatimi of Old Man by the Sea, Talafofo (Jeffrie’s) Beach and Hidden Beach areas.

“The approving resolution spe­cifically conditioned legislative approval of the NIS lease upon payment of this public benefit contribution,” Guerrero said.

“I hereby request that NIS turn over these funds to the Common­wealth at the earliest possible date,” Guerrero said.

Guerrero is the chairman of the Saipan Legislative Delegation, which was given distribution au­thority over the proposed public benefit contribution by the joint resolution.

The Office of the Resident Rep­resentative provided financial as­sistance for housing accommoda­tions here in Washington, D.C. The internship will provide her with the opportunity to gain more experience in her field.

Taimanao is the first NMC graduate to ever be awarded this summer internship program. Brelinda arrived in D.C. on May 29 and is residing in one of the dormitories on the George Washington University campus.

Taimanao has been afforded the opportunity to gain on hand ex­perience while assisting in the health unit at the Department of the Interior. Stella Guerra, assis­tant secretary for Territorial and International Affairs, has provided a broader framework of learning

B. Taimanao in allowing Taimanao to travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico for a few days to work in one of the health units there.

The youngest in a family of nine children, Brelinda is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ramon M. Taimanao of Songsong, Rota. Taimanao has decided to return to the CNMI to seek employment either in Rota or Saipan after she completes her internship on Au­gust 5. While she works she plans to take up some NMC nursing courses, part-time, and to prepare for the “RN” exam.

Once she is certified a “regis­tered nurse”, Brelinda would like to go back to school full-time to get her bachelor of science degree in nursing. She hopes to specialize in obstetrics and to become a midwife.

Besides theTethered Satellite, the shuttle holds a European Space Agency, scientific satellite to be re­leased 18 hours into the flight

CAPECANA VERAL Ha. (AP)- The US space agency began the countdown Tuesday for one of lire most complex shuttle flights ever, a mission to test an kalian satellite that will be linked to Atlantis by 12 miles (19 kilometers) of electric­ity-generating cord.

The shuttle crew arrived at Kennedy Space Center on Tues­day night. Shuttle commander Loren Shriver said the astronauts expect some surprises during the unprecedented experiment, even though they have trained hard and long.

“That’s not to say we expect wild and crazy things,” he said. “But we were trying to prepare ourselves for most anything that can happen.”

Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman said the ere w looks at the mission “as kind of a voyage of discovery, of exploration, sort of like the first

time we ever went into space and tried to rendezvous or land on the moon”

“It's a test flight in the very real senseof that wcffd,”Hoffinan said. The countdown clocks started ticking at 2000 GMT toward a Friday morning liftoff.

National Aeronautics andSpace Administration test director Eric Redding said the weather outlook was about as good as it gets. Fore­casters gave 90 percent odds for acceptable launch conditions.

-By Stella Wilder

Born today, you a re both dream er and doer, idealist and realist, magi­cian and pragm atist. You balance all of those human attributes which oth­ers seem to have'only some of and not others; you are, for this and other rea­sons, the object of a good deal of admi­ration and envy. Still, you are not per­fect — as you very well know — and you tend to be just a little too worried about m aking'm istakes. Indeed, you tend to be obsessive about the little things' others are usually able to overlook.

It is likely you will have much to be proud of in your childhood, and a few things to hide as well — but there will always be p art of your past that you carry around with you, which serves as both a rem inder and as inspiration. You will rem ain forever close to at least one family member.

Alto born on this data are: Casey Stengel, baseball manager; Peter Bogdanovich, film director; Arnold Schwarzenegger, body-builder and actor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - You must rem ember to tend to your own needs today before you can cater to the needs of others with any real success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.. 21) •7— You’ll become more fam iliar with something today tha t not long ago was completely alien to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You must conduct a search with sensi­tive care and attention to detail. Risk nothing you can’t afford to sacrifice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Think twice before volunteering your services today during a crisis situa­tion. You may not be completely prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Marcb 20) - What you do today you m ust do on

your own — and entirely from the ground up. Luck plays a large part.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - This will be one of those days in which you will be expected to put your money where your mouth is.

TAURUS (April 20 -M ay .20) - You’ll be asking questions all day long, but the answers m ay be rather com­plex and difficult to assimilate.

THURSDAY, JULY 30,1992 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-11

B o rg p u m p s life in to co m eback b idBROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) - Bjom Borg pumped life into his comeback drive Tuesday night with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over George Bezecny in the first round of the US Pro Tennis Champion­ships.

In other play, South African D.J. Bosse, fighting back from a year-longboutwith hypo­glycemia, won the biggest match of his three-year career. Bosse, a wild-card entry, defeated Sweden’s Peter Lundgren in a first-round match 2-6,6-3,6-2.

Borg, who won three US Pro titles at Longwood Cricket Club in the mid-1970s, delighted a capacity crowd of 7,500 in a highly publicized match that lasted only 73 minutes.

The 36-year-old Borg, who had been having little luck on a comeback drive, broke Bezecny’s serve in the sixth game and held

have outscored their opponents 34-3.

Shinichi Sato had two hits, in­cluding a solo homer, for Japan.

“We didn’t really expect this result before the game,” Linares said. “Japan’s team is a very good one.”

The United States’ isn’t. Not yet.

It led the Italians just 3-0 after five innings, waiting until the eighth to put them away with five runs.

Phil Nevin started the eighth- inningrally with his second homer in two games, and B.J. Wallace struck out a tournament-high 14 for the win. “I think we keep getting better,” coach Ron Fraser said. “We’ll get it down. We’ll keep doing it. They know we’re out there, I guarantee it.” Taiwan recovered from a pivotal loss to the United States by beat­ing Puerto Rico. Tai wan piled up 13 hits, including a homer and two singles by Wang Kuang-shih.

Puerto Rico managed just three hits off Chien-fu Kuo Lee, who struck out six and walked just one in nine innings.

Cipriano Ventura held Spain to four hits in the Dominican Republic’s victory. The Domini­can team pushed in four runs in the second inning and rapped out 13 hits against two Spanish pitchers.

PABA gamesGAMES scheduled for Sunday

have been cancelled because of the Manilyn Reynes concert, the Philippine Amateur Basketball' Association (PABA) announced yesterday.

service through a 21-point sev­enth game to take the,first set in 34 minutes.

He grabbed the advantage even earlier in the second set, breaking Bezecny in the third game and holding serve thereafter, winning on his fifth match point in the 10th game.

Borg’s victory came just 24 hours after he was beaten in the first round of the doubles phase of the $250,000 tournament and was only the second match vic­tory during his comeback drive.

“I need to play more tourna­ments and matches but I ’m pleased with the way I played,” Borg said. “I’m 36 years old. I’m trying to play good tennis. I enjoy playing, but I don’t really know my level.”

Borg won the first of his Longwood titles as a teen-ager, taking the crown in 1974, 1975

..and 1976. But he hasn’t won a major tournament since 1981 when he retired from big-time tennis.

Borg came into the match ranked 920th in the tennis com­puter system. Bezecny, a 26-year-old University of Geor­gia graduate, is 430th.

“I want four or five more months of playing. I’ll know by the end of the year wherel stand,” Borg said.

“The crowd was really behind me in today’s match. It was a very nice feeling,” Borg said. “But I don’t expect anything, I ’m not rushing. I know sooner or later, I ’ll play better.”

Bosse, a Texas Tech graduate, picked up a place in the field when he showed up as the rank­ing entry- for the Longwood qualifier and was granted wild­card status.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - Fi­nally, the biggest names in Ameri­can swimming got beat at the Olympics. Matt Biondi and Janet Evans - the golden superstars of Seoul in 1988 - were reduced to also-rans in an Eastern European gold medal march.

Biondi finished fifth in the 100- meter freestyle Tuesday. Evans, the worldrecordholderandheavily favored defending champion, lost the 400 freestyle by .19 seconds.

Biondi and Evans conquered the Eastern Europeans in Seoul, but fell to theminBarcelona. Alexandre Popov of the Unified Team, for­merly the Soviet Union, won the 100 free in 49.02 seconds.

Biondi of Castro Valley, Calif., wasn’t even the top American. Jon Olsen of Jonesboro, Ark., fin­ished fourth, behind Gustavo Borges of Brazil and Stephan Caron of France.

Dagmar Hase of Germany up­set Evans, who had not lost in the

P e I s o - r a n s

400 free since the 1986 Goodwill Games, including an 18-race vic­tory streak.

“I don’t look on this with bitter resentment The sun will come up tomorrow morning,” Evans said. “I still have a world record, I have a gold medal from four years ago and I got a silver medal here.”

Hase came on strong toward the finish and won in 4:07.18. Evans won the silver in4:07.37-well off the world record of 4:03.85 she set in winning at the 1988 Olym­pics. Erika Hansen of King of Prussia, Pa., was fourth.

“I think I died a little at the end,” Evans said, tears welling in her eyes. “But I gave it my best shot. It was my best time in about two years.”

Biondi ’s stunning finish mined his dream of being the winningest US Olympian ever. He won seven medals in the 1988 Olympics, one in 1984, and needed four in Barcelona to overtake swimmer Mark Spitz and shooter Carl Osbum, each with 11.

IN WHAT has been billed as the “Airportlympics”, the first an­nual goodwill games between the Commonwealth Ports Au­thority (CPA) and the Guam Airport Authority (GAA) will be held this coming weekend, Saturday and Sunday according to CPA Executive Director Ro­man T. Tudela.

Men’s and women’s slow pitch softball, basketball and volleyball are among the games that will be played between the staff of the two airports. There is also a three-legged sack race, tug-of-war, and bowling com­petition in a two-day sporting events.

More than 60 employees of GAA are scheduled to arrive on Friday evening in Saipan. A karaoke singing contest will be the first order of business that evening at 9 p.m.

The men’s slow pitch begins at 0 a.m. at San Vicente ball field on Saturday followed by a coed softball game, men’s bas­ketball, men’s and women’s

volleyball at Ada’s Gymnasium in Susupe.

Sunday afternoon will be de­voted to bowling at Saipan bowling Center. The three- legged sack race and tug-of- war will be at Kilili Beach.

Following the games, a bar­becue for all participants and their families will be hosted jointly by CPA and GAA.

For the past several weeks, employees of CPA have been practicing their softball skills at a field near the fenced-in run­way at Saipan International Airport. The team will be led by Ben Sablan, supervisor for Aircraft Advisory Division. Sablan is a star player in both fast pitch softball and baseball on Saipan.

The basketball team will be led by one of Saipan’s best, Robert Quitugua is one of the few players on Saipan who can dunk the basketball with au­thority. He was chosen June Male Athlete of the Month by the Northern Marianas Ama-

teur Sports Association.Tudela said he was confident

his team would repeat what the governor’s softball team did to the Guam governor’s staff dur­ing the Liberation Day festivi­ties slow-pitch softball game. №>t one to back down, Guam’s GAA Executive director Jesse Torres said he was also confi­dent his team will win so that Guam can redeem itself follow­ing the loss of the governor’s staff to the CNMI. He an­nounced Guam would definitely win the tug-of-war contest.

Tudela and Torres both said this will be the first annual con­test between the two airports. Tudela said the games will fos­ter good working relationships between the two airports em­ployees.

“A fter all,” Tudela said, “we’re only 120 miles apart. We need to work closely with our counterparts on Guam to assist each other in times of need. I am looking forward to these exciting games.”

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - The Japanese baseball team couldn’t even come close to beating Cuba. Now it’s the United States’ turn to try.

The heavily favored Cubans remained unbeaten Tuesday night with an 8-2 victory over Japan. Only the United States and Cuba, who play Wednesday in the Olympic round-robin tourna­ment, remain perfect.

The US team struggled to beat the winless Italians 10-0Tuesday, Taiwan drubbed Puerto Rico 10- 1, and the Dominican Republic beat Spain 11-2.

The Cubans took control with a four-run third inning off Katsumi Watanabe. Lazaro Vargas had an RBI single, Antonio Pacheco hit a two-run homer, and Linares hit the next pitch for another home run.

Linares led off the seventh with Cuba’s eighth homer in three games. The Cubans have

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - Chess master Bobby Fischer will supervise modifications of the Yugoslav, hall where he will play a $5 million rematch with Rus­sian Boris Spassky after 20 years in seclusion, according to news reports.

The match will begin on Sveti Stefan, a resort island on the southern Adriatic coast that is linked to the mainland by a pe­destrian bridge.

According to a Swiss report on Tuesday, Fischer’s playing contract allows him to choose a new venue if gunfire from the Yugoslav war can be heard at the rematch site. Tfie closest fighting to Sveti Stefan has been about 60 miles away in the Croatian port of Dubrovnik.

The second half of the nine-

game series will be played at the modem Sava conference center in the Yugoslav capital, Belgrade.

The match, which is sched­uled to start Sept. 2, is being organized by Jezdim ir Vasiljevic, a Serbian bank owner who has offered $3.35 million to the winner and $ 1.65 million to the loser.

Vasiljevic has been quoted as saying he orchestrated the rpatch as an “open war” against UN sanctions on Yugoslavia. A trade and diplomatic embargo was imposed May 30 to punish Yugoslavia for its role in the war in the breakaway republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The United States has strictly observed the sanctions, which prohibit commercial and sports links to Yugoslavia’s only re­maining republics, Serbia and Montenegro.

¿Marianas Wariety'^

Fischer is a US citizen, and the match might contravene the UN boycott on both counts.

The US government has not commented on the competition.

Fischer, 49, renowned for the extravagant demands he set be­fore playing, will personally supervise the modifications of the Sveti Stefan match hall, match spokesman Tomisiav Milojevic said.

Fischer has stipulated that all journalists be kept away from him before the match, Yugoslav media reported.

Bodyguards surrounded· Fischer on a recent visit to the resort, and confiscated film from at least one photographer.

Vasiljevic sued a private TV station that filmed Fischer and gave the footage to TV Belgrade earlie^his week, the Belgrade
