"Right now, the whole NMIland system is so complicated.There are lots of encroachmentissues that need to be resolved.We could simplify all theseprob­lems by putting them all underone responsible agency," saidHofschneider.

He said these functions shouldinclude any matter relating tooriginal land ownershipregistra­tion. so that registration of landcan be done more precisely,mostly taken up as functions bysuch agencies as Lands and Sur­vey and the Land Commission.

He added this is important toensure that records are readilyavailable when a title search isdone by anyone, be they privateor public land owners.

"There are numerous incidentswherein records have been lost.By centralizing all records, wecan see an improvement in thesystem," said Hofschneider.

Over the weekend, a Japanesetourist reported topolice that halfof his Y60,OOO was stolen by anunknown individual or group ofpersons. The complainant, iden­tified by police as YokiKatsutoshi, said he lost Y30,OOOor about $132 dollars while at theHafa Adai Hotel last Friday.

Once hijacked, a ship is not allthat hard to conceal. It can be re­registered fairly easily by bribingthe right people in th right coun­try, and and coastal police tend toavoid involvement in cases out­side their jurisdiction.

"Everybodysaysit's outof theirauthority because it happened ininternational waters," Boas said.

After being re-registered, sto­len ships are hired out to haullegitimate cargoes. Some of thecargoes are delivered, othershihacked.

Such was the fate of the ErriaInge,hijackedfrom India in April1991 with $2.5 million worth ofsoya meal aboard that was sold inBangkok.

Two years later, it found itsway to the the scrap dock inShunde, southern China, and theworkmen discovered the massa­cre.The remainsof the 10victimsare stored in 10clay burialjars atShunde, waiting to be claimed.

They aiso steal cargoes andsometimes go right for a particu­larly valuable freight container,indicating they have inside infor­mation. Hijackings, as in theErriaInge case, are less common.

The International MaritimeOrganization, a U.N. agency,agrees that piracy is on the rise inAsia.

In thekeystate of Uttar Pradesh,where Ayodhya is located, theBJP had won 39 seats, but anopposition coalition had rackedup 44 seats.

A defeat in the 422-memberUttar Pradesh assembly is con­sidered a major blow to the BlP.

Mexican ruling party namesits presidential candidate

By ISAAC A. LEVI

1~12l7.1Ul"'l:71161

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The party that has governed Mexico formore than 60years named social welfare chiefLuis Donaldo Colosioas its presidential candidate Sunday.

Thechoicemakes the U.S.-educated Colosio theinstantfrontrunnerto become the country's next leader in elections next August.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party, known by its Spanish ini­tials PRJ, has not lost a single presidential election since it wasfounded in 1929, although most of the time critics accused it oftampering with the results. .

This year, however, Colosio faces a formidable challenge from.Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of the Democratic Revolutionary Party, whonearly won the presidency in 1988.

Cardenas' followers bolted the PRI in 1987 to protest the party'shigh-handed and autocratic way of naming candidates. Cardenas'late father, Lazaro Cardenas, was one of Mexico's most reveredpresidents.

Under Mexico's near-monarchical political system, the PRJ'scandidate usually is named by the president in office and announcedby the party.

During the recent debate over the North American Free TradeAgreement, critics cited that as evidence Mexico was undemocratic.

In recent years, however, Mexico has tried to improve its tarnishedimage abroad through political reforms, and PRI's margin of victoryhas been getting slimmer. President Carlos Salinas de Gortari wonwith 51 percentof thevote in 1988, compared tomore than70 percenttallied by his predecessors.

Colosio, 43, is a native of northwestern Sonora .state and a closefriend of Salinas. Colosio holds masters and doctorate degrees inurban economic development from the University of Pennsylvania.

"I am moved," Colosio told reporters shortly after the announce­ment. "I will try with all my strength to assume the responsiblity ofsatisfying all the needs and wishes of the nation."

Colosio will resign his Cabinet post as Secretary of Social Devel­opment to enter the campaign. He is expected to advocate continuingSalinas' free-market policies to modernize Mexico and raise thestandard of living. The election is Aug. 24, 1994.

Colosio coordinated Salinas' 1988 campaign, then was entrustedby Salinas with reforming the party to make it competitive in a moreopen political atmosphere.

Salinas, meanwhile, has been pushing to eliminate political favor­itism and corruption and to give outsiders greater access to publicjobs.

Opposition party leaders say he has not done enough.A tall man with a shock of frizzled hair and a bushy mustache,

Colosio appearsoutwardly shy, but is considered to be a strong publicspeaker and a solid administrator.

WASillNGTON (AP) • Millions of Americans with rotting teethand other oral diseases aren't seeing dentists,primarilybecause theycan't afford it, according to a studyreleased today.

Americans' overalloralhealth has improveddramaticallyin recentyears,with the adventoffluoride andbetterdental education,saidthereport by the Public Health Service. .

Butrninorities, thepoorand theelderlystillhave toomany cavities,untreated and decaying teeth and diseases from gingivitis.tooralcancer, PHS concluded. .

"Millions of Americans have been left behind, resulting in need­less pain, increased cost, decreased health and loss ofself-esteem,"the report said. More thanhalf of childrenages 5 to 17have cavities,the report said. .

Afourthof all children- thepoor, those whoseparentsdidn't finishhigh school, but mostly minorities - get 75 percent of the cavities:Ninety-onepercent of Indian and Eskimo children have at least oneby age 15, making them the most affected group.

About 12percent of whitechildren have decayed teeth. comparedwith 27.2 percentof minorities; less than 1percent of white childrenlose teeth by age 17, compared with 3.2 percent of minorities; andonly 69.6 percent of minority children get cavities filled, comparedwith 87.5 percent of white children.

Adults fare no better. About 7 percent of white Americans havedecayed teeth, compared with 22 percent of black Americans.Ninety-three percent of whites had their cavities filled, comparedwith 78 percent of blacks. In 1989,about 7.2 million Americansages 18 to 64 had lost all of their teeth. And last year, doctorsdiagnosed 30,000 new cases of oral cancer, which killed 8,000people,

The main problem is cost, PHS concluded. Some 150 millionAmericanshave no dental insurance.

President Clinton's health care package includes proposals toprovide general dental care, including preventive services, for chil­dren and to provide emergency dental services for adults.

The poor areespeciallyhardhit. Less than4 percent of the nation'sdentalbills are paid bypublicprograms, thereport said.The poorpay56 percent of their dental bills out of pocket, compared with only 19percent of doctor bills.
