(130 Akebono In Ceremony Of Elevation To Yokozuna HULKING Hawaiian-born sumo superstar Akebono may have won a hefty but he is learning that being number one in Japan's national sport is not all roses. Naked but for his ceremonial loin-cloth, the towering Akebono, 23, had to assume a series of traditional sumoes during a snow- storm on Thrusday at Tokyo's Meiji Shrine. Cheered on by wellwishers clutching umbrellas, Akebono clap- ped his hands and stamped his feet as an initiation ceremony to mark his elevation to yokozuna (grand champion). On Wednesday Akebono, whose real name is Chad Rowan, became the first foreigner to attain the highest rank in sumo. To compensate for the extra responsibilitiuties that his rank confers, Akebono won a monthly salary hike of 315,000 yen ($2,520). That brings his monthly salary to 1,874,000 yen ($14,992), according to Kyodo news agency. He also automatically became a trustee of the august Japan Sumo An, with a vote in elections to its board of directors. There is no demotion for a yokozuna. A grand champion who suffers a long slump in form is honour-bound to retire. Even when they hang up their silken sashes, retired yokozuna continue to enjoy high prestige andgible for well-paid jobs in sumo administration. Akebono, who stands 2.04 meters (6 feet 8 inches) tall and weighs in at 212 kg (467 pounds), is only the 64th wrestler to reach yokozuna rank in the historof the ancient sport, and he did it in the shortest time. he first entered the ring only in March 1988. Now below him in rank is huge fellow Hawaiian Konishiki (Salevaa Atisanoe), a 29-yece tipped to become the first foreign yokozuna only to falter in 1992 amidst injury and bitter accusa- tions of racism. Akebono's achievement has already earned him congratula- tions from Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa and from American ambassador Michael Armacost. White House indicated on Wednesday that President Bill Clin- ton was likely to send him greetings. (Reuter) U.S. Expects No Quick Decision On Bosnia Washington- After raising expectations Clinton administration would pursue a more activist approach to Bosnia, Secretary of State Warren Christopher on Thur- sday said a decision setting new policy for the area was unlikelly to be made soon. Speaking after the first White House meeting to review options for a new U.S. approach, he told reporters: We had a good discussion of those expectation. There is a very wide range of options. One thing I would counsel is to try to lower your expectations in terms of ti- ming" on a decision." Since taking office, Clinton ad- ministration officials have said they were reviewing Bosnia po- licy on an "urgent basis." Christopher's in his various statements, said the administra- tion would "vigorously pursue" more effective international ac- tion, including possibly force. Clinton's newly appointed am- bassador to the United Nations, Madeleine Albright, has put Bos- nia at the highest national secu- rity priority. SABTU, 30 JANUARI 1993 WAH...HEM. ADUH KIAP MATANE.

Sadaa imbaran Pali Kumbasari Market: From Dusk Till Down IT is midnight and suddenly your pregnant wife is craving for a certain fruit that is impossible for you to find and you wonder where (on earth) you can find the fruit in the dead of the night. Or, perhaps, you are going to in- vite a throng of people to come to your house and, to slash your budget to a minimum, you'd like to find a place in Denpasar where you can buy fresh affodable vege- tables and fruit. To cut the story short, Kumbasari Market is the answer to both questions above. Kumbasari Market is situated next to Jalan Gajah Mada, not far from the "Puputan" Heroes Park. This traditional market is open from about 6.00 pm till the early hours in the morning. Sellers and buyers make transaction at both banks of a river that cuts Jalan Gajah Mada. As you are standing on a bridge in Jalan Gajah Mada, you can see that the river is bor- dered by rails on each side and is ornamented with ball-like lamps. On the right and left of the river, you can course, you ca buy such goods during the day. In the outskirt of the, in line with Jalan Gajah Mada, there is a street called Jalan Ternate. All along this street, you can see ora- nges and, of course, orang sellers sell their goods in bulk. Because of the myriads of oranges that are traded along this area, this street should be named "Jalan Jeruk", or "Oranges Street" instead of "jalan Ternate". lers trading their goods from their mini movable trucks. You can find most kinds of vegetables and fruits in this area. Since they are mostly original sellers, al- though I presume that some are first middlemen, prices are cer- tainly much lower that those in supermarkets. Of course, there are some differences. First, the sellers do not label their goods with prince tags. So, you have to bargain every time you'd like to buy. Second, you are "deprived" of famous plastic bags from supermarkets. vers. The bigger bridge is dotted by mostly seated women who sell the produce of the soil from chil- lies to mangoes to cabbages. Af- ter crossing the bridge, to your left, you will soon come to a place where people trade vegetables and fruits in bulk. They load and unload their goods on this spot. The fruits and their fruiterers can come as far as from East Java and Lombok. So, a babel of la- nguages is frequently spoken and heard on this very spot. After you have bought your ne- cessary goods, you can go back to- wards the bridge and, without crossing the bridge again, you can walk along the other bank of the river. After passing the After you leave the end of this street, you cross the outer ring of the market and you can see some twenty people, all males, crow- ding a spot.

Yeltsin told Indian businessmen at a lunch meeting. He did not give his cheering lis- teners any details of the agree- ment but Indian officials said earlier a political solution could be reached behnical details were fixed. The quarrel over how much In- dia owes Moscow in easy credits extended by its old Cold War ally, the former Soviet Union, has sou- red trade relations. Indian im- ports of Russian goods, including oil and weapons, halved last year. Yeltsin said that if obstacles were lifted trade could climb back from 1992's $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion this year and $3.5 in 1994. Russia had said that India re- pay $16 billion of debt, calculated at a 1976 exchange rate which in- flated the rouble to 500 times its current value, had been a major block to trade.

India, ner- vously eyeing its arch-foe Pa- kistan over the border, is worried that the supply of spa from Mos- cow has become increasingly unreliable. Yeltsin offered a three-part plan to reverse the slowdown, al- though Russia is sharply cutting back on its overall arms output. Joint venture Joint ventures with India Both countries are now strug- gling to liberalise their econo- mies and India entrepreneurs are keen to up new ventures with and inside Russia. Yeltsin said his counter would welcome any Indian initiatives. "I invite you to the great Rus- sian market," he said. "The door is open to fresh air. Let's breathe," Yeltsin said. Leaders of both countries have come under political as well as economic pressure to revire links India from businessmen who have seen their main export and energy market dwindle, Yeltsin frodliners angry that Moscow is dropping old allies. Yeltsin's message now is that Russia wants to move away from the Cold War syndrome of "bloc policy", which ruled out East end- ships with U.S. allies, and to de- velop ties with all Asian nations including Pakistan. India Card He said Soviet Russia had U.S. imperialism and Chinese "played the India card against hegemony" for too long.

Yeltsin said he would uphold India's position on disputed Kashmir, also clai- med by Pakistan. "We want the Kashmir ques- tion to be solved so that India's territorial integrity is secure," he said. "We are nearly neighbours," he added. "All that lies between us is a couple of fragments -- Af- ghanistan and Pakistan."

Russian President Boris Yel- tsin appealed India on Friday to move closer to China, as Moscow is doing, to transform the world's three biggest countries into a po- werful force for global stability. "Mutual trust, good neig- hbourliness, in a purely peace, of the three largest nations in the world could become a stabilising factor not just in Asia but worl- dwide," Yelstin told parliament Delhi. on the last of three days in New Since the late 1980 and China have started to warm up their India's main concerns in forging long-chilly relationship. One of a close friendship with the Soviet Union in the 1970s was protec- tion against its mighty neig- hbour, which was engaged a bor- der war in 1962. Yeltsin, who says ideology is being erased from post-Soviet Russian policy, improved his own country's relations with Beijing during a state visit last Decem- ber.
