NEWS MAKER Neuner Sisters Make Olympic Luge History Bali Post/Rtr AUSTRIAN sisters Doris (R) and Angelika Neuner are all smiles after winning gold and silver respectively in the women's luge singles race at La Plagne February 12. The Neuner sisters made a remarkable piece of Olympic histo- ry on Wednesday when they turned the Albertville Games sing- les luge event into a fascinating family battle. Doris Neuner, who led overnight after Tuesday's first two runs, completed two controlled slides to take the gold medal and her first major championship title with an aggregate time of three minutes 06.696 seconds. But the 20-year-old had to hold off a fierce, challenge from her elder sistem Angelika, who took the silver, just 0.073 se- conds behind. German favourite Susi Erdmann won the bronze. Two sisters have never won medals in the same event in Olympic luge although the American Heaton brothers, Jennison and John, won gold and silver in the skeleton event, the forerun- ner to the modern-day luge, in 1928. The Neuners, however, were not the first sisters to win medals in the same event at a Winter Games. At the 1964 Innsbruck Games French teenagers Christine and Marielle Goitschel occupied the top two places in both the Alpi- ne skiing slalom and giant slalom events. While the Neuners had produced good training times and A- ngelika had finished third in the recent European championships, the Innsbruck secretaries were never expected to be major medal contenders on the 1.142-km La Plagne course. On the opening day the two racers had to survive a protest by the Italian team who accused the Austrians of wearing special toe-pointers to make them more aerodynamic. The jury turned down the protest. (Rtr). Halaman 10 Bali Post English Corner Prosecutor Set To Spark Another Japan Scandal Tokyo- Japan's public prosecutors are set to raid the offices of a large trucking company at the core of another major scandal, parliamentary sources said on Wednesday. Prosecutors could make simultaneous raids on offices of the Sagawa Kyubin company across the country as early as Thursday, the sources said. Japanese government and par- liamentary sources said the Sagawa Kyubin scandal could rival, and e- ven surpass, the 1988-1989 Recruit scandal. Recruit brought down the Nobo- ru Takeshita government and rob- bed the ruling party of its majority in the upper house for the first time since the party was formed in 1955. Former Sagawa Kyubin executi- ves and anonymous letters circula- ted in parliament say more than 200 members of parliament, both from Sagawa Kyubin. "I know of the rumoured num- ber of people, but we will just have to see how far the investigation goes," one parliamentary source said. "But the raid is on this week." Officials of the Justice Ministry's Criminal Investigation Bureau ha- ve told parliament that prosecutors and police were investigating sus- pected fraudulent loans made by Sagawa Kyubin to various compa- nies, including a major crime syn- dicate. Bureau officials, however, have not spoken of the political connec- tion. The charges stem from a special commercial law claim on breach of trust filed against two former exe- cutives of Tokyo Sagawa Kyubin, the subsidiary company of the Kyoto-based Sagawa Kyubin. A Sagawa Kyubin spokesman said last month that the subsidiary Tokyo Sagawa Kyubin was guaran- tor for 349.1 billion yen (2.77 bil- lion dollars) worth of fraudulent loans, of which 97 billion (768 mil- lion) were guaranteed on behalf of a crime syndicate.

Saudi Arabia, the world's largest PAKET nemat '92 DARI HONDA oil exporter and OPEC's power- house, has lobbied for sharing the cuts on a pro-rata basis so that each OPEC member would lop off a fi- xed percentage from current out- put. Some of the group's smaller pro- ducers have argued, however, that such a step would force them to pump less oil than specified in O- PEC's July 1990 agreement. That accord was struck just days before Iraq's ivasion of Kuwait pa- nicked oil markets, spurred prices higher and launched an output of fensive spearheaded by Saudi Ara- bia to replace Iraqi an Kuwait cru- aredit DENGAN BUNGA 2,50% 1.35% ATAU UANG MUKA RINGAN Astrea GRAND Astrea Pake hemat 1992 HONDA MENURUN Wednesday, the ruling Liberal De- mocratic Party (LDP) agreed in principle to summon witnesses to a special lower house budget com- mittee hearing, but failed to resol- ve a week-long opposition boycott. The LDP refused to name which of the 22 people listed they would agree to be subpoenaed, and the opposition parties said they would continue the boycott of the key Budget Committee. Three of Miyazawa's close party colleagues were on the list, inclu- ding Eumio Abe, a former regional development minister who was charged with demanding and ac- cepting 80 million yen (640,000 dollars) in bribes from Kyowa Campany, a land developer. Ex-premier Zenko Suzuki and former government management minister Jun Shiozaki were also on the list. (Reuter).

Labour will allow another free vote on hunting if it wins the next general election, expected in April or May.
