At U.N. headquarters in NewYork, meanwhile, the SecurityCouncil was discussing a resolu­tion which wouldadd 6,550moretroops to the Bosnia force, 150military observers and 275 civil­ian police monitors. The resolu­tion was expected to be adoptedby the end of the week.

Last month, the council ap­proved 3,500 additional troops,but the United States blockedfullauthorizationfor the 10,500troopsrequested by the U.N. chiefBoutros Boutros-Ghali. At thetime it cited financial constraints,but the Clinton administrationnow says it will support the addi­tional deployment.

At least 715 people were killedand nearly 2,000woundedduringthe nearly monthlong Serb as­sault on Gorazde area. U.N. phy­sician Mary McLoughlin said adisproportionate number of thedead were women and childrenbecause Serbs deliberately tar­geted civilian sites.

The Bosnianwarbeganin April1992 when ethnic Serbs rebelledafter Muslims and Croats, a ma­jority of the population, voted tosecede from Yugoslavia. Morethan 200,000 people have beenreported killed or missing.

NATO officials said Mondaythe alliance received assurancesits warplaneswould be allowed tostage bombing runs if Bosnian~erbs ignored the NATO warn­mgs.

The Serbs appeared to be abid­ing by the cease-fire and by theorders to withdraw.

Chaperonsaid indications werethat theSerbs were pulling fartherback to meet NATO's demandthat their troops be at least 20kilometers (12.4 miles) fromGorazde by early Wednesday.

As they pulled back Sunday,Serbs burned houses and blew upa water treatment plant, but U.N.officials said they were generallysatisfied.

GARAPAN Elementary Schoolkids learned yesterday the basicsteps of the famous line dancingas part of the school's first "MathAwareness Week" celebration.

Roger Rio, a known Filipinoentertainer of Nino's Pizza, ex­plained to the students the impor­tance of counting to perfect thesteps of a dance number.

For just a few minutes of dem­onstration, 4th and 6th grade stu­dents learned the steps and dancedtogether to the tune of "AchyBreaky Heart" on the schoolground.

"It' sexciting and fun...you mustalways count so that you can'tmake mistake," said l l-year-oldVidal Camacho.

Mrs. Arsenia P. Gallardo, chair­person of the program, said Riowas among the invited speakerslike parents, businessmen andeducators who spoke on the im­portance of math in their line ofwork.

Gallardo explained that the pur­pose of the school's first "MathAwareness Week" (April 25-29)is to make the students aware theimportanceof mathematics in thedaily lives.

Military justice can be swift, and unfair

JACK ANDERSON and MICHAEL BINSTEIN

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

WASHINGTON - Air ForceCapt. Carla Lancaster learned thehard way that taking your medi­cine in the military can get youthrown in jail.

For taking medication pre­scribed by her dentist, Lancasterwas sentenced to six months inprison by a military justice sys­tem that allows the military au­thorities to play accuser, judgeand jury.

Lancaster's crime: Swallowingtwo pain pills, leftover from ear­lier wisdom-tooth surgery, to easesuffering from a hip injury. Un­dermilitary justice, that amountedto illegal use of a controlled sub­stance.

Lancaster, who was sentencedto six months in prison, was justone victim of a military justicesystem that convicts 95 percent ofthe people it tries-a convictionrate on par with that of commu­nist China. As Congress debatesthe crime bill this week-amid aclamor to stop coddling crimi­nals- military justice stands indraconian contrast to the civiliansystem.

Carolyn Dock, executi ve direc­tor of Members Opposed to theMaltreatment of Service Mem­bers, hears daily from up to sixfamilies of service members whorelate miscarriages of justice un­der military law. Many familieswho have had a taste of the sys­tem charge that it gives militarycommanders czar-like power.

"The problem is that the systemis susceptible to abuse," one re­tired naval judge told our associ­ate Andrew Conte. "I sat on anumber of cases where (the

Clinton stepsup pitch forassaultweapons ban

ByTOMRAUM

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi­dent Clinton briefly held an AR­15 automatic assault rifle onMonday as he stepped up a cam­paign to ban such firearms, "Theseweapons were designed for thebattlefield, not the streets ofAmerica," he old a Rose Gardenceremony.

The House is expected to votewithin the next week or so onlegislation to ban assault weapons.The Senate included such a mea­sure in the crime bill it passed lastyear. The House crime bill doesnot.

Clinton made an impassionedappeal for the ban in a speechrecognizing volunteers and orga­nizations who have worked onbehalfofvictims ofviolent crime.

A Dayton, Ohio, police officer- Lt. Randy Bean - recounted howhe and a fellow officer were firedupon in March 1991 by a crazedgunman stopped in a traffic inci­dent.

Bean said he received fragmentwounds in both legs and that hisfellow officer - Steve Whalen ­was killed as the gunman firedround after round at them.

Bean told Clinton he wantedthe president to see what theweapon used in the attack, an AR­15, looked like. A Secret Serviceagent carried one over and gave itto Bean, who handed it to thepresident.

Clinton held the large, blackweapon in front of him with bothhands, its barrel pointed skyward,for several moments, eyeing itgrim-faced.

"Who are we trying to kid?There is an air of unreality aboutthis debate," he said, criticizingthe House for so long resistingpassing such legislation.

Speaking afterwards with re­porters, the president said he dido' tknow if he had the votes to passthe measure in the House.

"I think we're in a lot bettershape that we were a week ago.but I don't know that itwill pass.I'm working on it," he said.·"We're just now getting our teethinto the effort."

[ RECYCLE I

Wood, who gave reporters per­mission during the trial to use hisname, was an altarboy atSt. Mary'sChurch in Plymouth where Hanlonwas pastor.

Hanlon, now retired, was con-

a dupe."They tried to impose law and

order, and the results were disas­trous," said Hayden, now a Cali­fornia state senator.

Former House Speaker JimWright, a Texas Democrat whoserved in the House of Repre­sentatives for more than 30 years,said: "Mr. Nixon and I disagreedfrequently on domestic policy, buthe was a deeply dedicatedAmerican, a determined leaderand an historic force for worldpeace."

Presidents who succeededNixon praised his work in foreignaffairs.

"The difficulties he encounteredin office may have diminished hispresidency, but what should beremembered are his many out­standing achievements both for­eign and domestic,'" formerPresident Bush said.

Former President Carter saidNixon's "foreign policy accom­plishments laid importantgroundwork for efforts of thepresidents who have succeededh· "irn.

Former President Reagan calledNixon "a great champion ofdemocratic ideals who dedicatedhis life to the cause ofworld peace.For millions, Richard Nixon wastruly one of the finest statesmanthis world has ever seen."

"The world is a better place, asafer place, because of RichardNixon," he said.

Pursuant to Public Law 9-41, this is to inform the general public that thehomestead Appeals Co nirnittee ofthe Marianas Public Land Corporation, (MPLC)isscheduled tohold ahearing on Thursday, April 28, 1994 at1:00p.m., attheMPLC office conference room in Rota. The Agenda forHearing is as follows:

Ford said he has "good memo­ries of his wonderful relationshipwith his family, with (Nixon'swife) Pat and his children andgrandchildren.... He could be veryfirm and aggressive in the politi­cal areana, but with his family hewas loving."

George McGovern, the Demo­crat whose campaign to oustNixon from the White Housespawned the 1972 Watergatebreak-in, acknowledged Nixon'sforeign policy achievements. Buthe also referred to the "pathetic ortragic qualities" ofNixon' scareer.

'On the three great moral andpolitical challenges of the Nixonera, he failed all three of those,"McGovern said on ABC televisionMonday morning, referring to the"challenges" of McCarthyism,racism and Vietnam.

McGovern said Nixon engagedin Red-baiting during the 1950swhen Sen. Joe McCarthy madesweeping charges of communistinfiltration; courted the GeorgeWallace vote "largely on racialgrounds," and "continued theslaughter inVietnam for four yearsbeyond what was necessary."Wallace, the Alabama governorwho opposed racial integration,was a third-party presidentialcandidate in 1968, when Nixonwas elected to his first term aspresident.

Nixon, the only U.S. presidentto resign, died Friday night at age81.

Anotherofhis adversaries, TomHayden, an anti-war activist andone of the Chicago Seven pros­ecuted by Nixon's Justice De­partment after the riots at the 1968Democratic National Convention,said:

"Nixon came out ofone era, theWorld War II era, with the beliefthat all of America's problemsare caused by foreign enemiesand anyone who criticizes them is

was convicted last month of rap­ing William Wood, now 27, at asummer cottage in Scituate southof Boston in 1980 and 1981.

"Y ou had to be stopped at allcost. The sentence you receive

Nixon's death."In the area of foreign policy,

there was no president in thiscentury who achieved as manyoutstanding results:

"Opening the door to China;his dealings with Khrushchev,Brezhnev, the Soviet Union whenthey were a superpower; his ac­tions in ending the war in Vietnam;the Paris peace accords and hisleadership in trying to get Arabsand Israelis together in the MiddleEast. Those are tremendous for­eign policy accomplishments andI hope and trust they will be DickNixon's legacy."

Nixon, vilified as crook,remembered as respected statemanNEW YORK (AP) • RichardNixon, scorned by critics as acrook and overzealous anti-com­munist, is remembered in deathas a loyal friend, loving husband'and father, and a distinguishedstatesman who put an indelibleprint on American foreign policy.

"There are many, many moregood things that Dick Nixon didthan any mistakes that he made,"Gerald Ford, who took over whenNixon resigned in the wake of theWatergate scandal and later par­doned him, said Monday inmaking the rounds of the morningTV talk shows three days after

He called on the committee toremove "all the clouds of doubt"so the Senate mayget on to muchimportant tasks ahead. .

Inan interview after the hearing,Villagomez said the issue ofwhetherthe BoardofElections didits job or committed fraudulent .acts should be decided on by thecourt and not by the committee.

"The concern of my committeeis whetherSens. Hocog and Ataligcommitted something wrong inwinning their seats in the Senate.both sides have presented theirarguments and allegations and Imust say that I saw little or noproof to support those," saidVillagomez in a telephone inter­view with the Variety.

Babauta said these offices mayonly be modified or abolished bythe people througha constitutionalprovision and are thus, beyondthe power of both the governorand the Legislature to alter ordiscontinue.

"This is true despite the varioussavings clauses scattered through­out the executive order purport­ing to preserve the constitutionalintegrity of several affected of­fices," said the report.

"The Committee does not be7lieve that a mere savings clausewill preserve the constitutionalindependence of the Civil Ser­vice Commission, for example, ifits essential functions are trans­ferred directly into the governor'soffice," it added.

But despite the faults of theexecutive order and its imminentrejection as recommended,Babauta said the joint committeebelieves certain provisions andideas in it deserve implementationby the Legislature.

"The joint committee concursin the governor's desire tostreamline government, elimi­nate redundant functions andreduce the current size of thebureaucracy. We find that theexecutive order contains manyvaluable ideas to governmentreorganization which merit care­fullegislation consideration andso we are considering acting onHouse Bill 9-156, which con­tains the very same proposal,but that which could be revisedto take care of what we believeas objectionable portions," saidBabauta.

Jens-Peter Hecht, spokesmanfor the German Tennis Federa­tion, said security at the tourna­ment was sufficient and morepolice protection was available ifnecessary.

She was the first person to beconvicted of a prostitution charge.Also, last month, Double Shotmanager Evelyn Lo entered into aplea agreement with the govern­ment, agreeing to plead guilty to alesser prostitution charge.

Lo was given a suspended jailterm but ordered to pay a $2,000fine. She was also told to leave theCNMI 120 days after the sentenc­ing. The penalty has ben criti­cized by the author of Public Law8-14, complaining that it was toolenient.

"If Steffi plays in Hamburg,there will be another attack," saidthe hand-written letter, a copy ofwhich was published by the Ham­burg newspaper Morgenpost.

Seles was stabbed in the backby an obsessed Graf fan last April30, and has not played since. Grafhas meanwhile retaken the No. Iranking from Seles.

As the two teams approachedthe reef, it became clear that firstplace was up for grabs. As theVan Camp/Latham.

As AbduI-Rauf walked to theline, Murphy stared at him andstartedyellingathim. Abdul-Raufthen swishedhis first shot, but hissecond one bounced off the frontof the rim. Murphy, who playedfor the Rockets and is now one oftheir broadcasters, leaped fromhis seat and clapped.

"It seemed like he just wantedthe record so bad," Abdul-Raufsaid. "I wanted him to have it. Itold him I liked him and he toldme, "You're my kind of guy.'''
