H .1 Oregon Daily 1 filed in November with the U.S. Forest Service’s regional supervi sor in Albuquerque, N.M. The suit seeks to block the pro posed 8,000-acre Baca timber sale in the Sitgreaves portion of the Apache-Sitgreaves National For est. Opponents say the Forest Ser vice has proposed logging thou sands of mature and old-growth trees within the Black Mesa Ranger District. The center contends that as much as 60 percent of the volume logged is to come from trees over 16 inches in diameter. Environmentalists believe that ■doing so would harm habitat for the Northern goshawk, which is not listed as endangered or threat ened. The area also provides habitat for the Mexican spotted owl, which is endangered. NAACP boycott to continue despite flag compromise 2 COLUMBIA, S.C. — A bill to remove the Confederate flag from the Capitol dome gained fi nal House approval Thursday over opposition from an unlikely alliance of blacks and ardently pro-flag whites. Under the measure, approved, 62-48, the flag would be moved to a Confederate soldier monument on the Capitol grounds. The measure now goes back to the Senate to consider changes made by the House. Black legislators and the NAACP argued the flag is still be ing given too prominent a place. The NAACP refused to call off its tourism boycott of South Carolina. “This issue has not been com pletely resolved,” said James Gallman, state president of the NAACP. “We accept partial victo ry.” Pro-flag groups were unhappy, too. Keep It Flying said: “The House leadership has just fin ished a two-day lap dance for the Chamber of Commerce,” which also wanted the flag lowered. And the Southern Legal Resource Center said legislators had bowed to “anti-flag bigots.” Judges question both sides in Elian hearing 3 ATLANTA — Three federal appeals judges listened skep tically to both sides in the Elian Gonzalez case Thursday, ques tioning whether a 6-year-old boy can comprehend an asylum ap plication and whether it’s in his best interest to be raised in a com munist country. With the chants of sidewalk demonstrators audible in the packed courtroom, the judges’ persistent questioning of lawyers for the government, Elian’s Miami relatives and his father pushed the hearing to an hour and 20 minutes, double its scheduled length. The panel of the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, one step below the Supreme Court, said it would take weeks to decide whether Elian is mature enough to seek asylum despite the father’s wishes to take him back to Cuba. Circuit Judge Charles Wilson, the panel’s only Clinton ap pointee, peppered lawyers for the Miami relatives about the boy’s ability to understand complex questions on an asylum applica tion they filed for him. “I’m sure Elian Gonzalez is a very bright and intelligent 6-year old, but he didn’t even have the ability to sign his last name on the asylum petition,” Wilson said. Filipino computer student surfaces in ‘Love Bug* case 4 MANILA, Philippines — A computer student sought by investigators in the “Love Bug” virus case emerged from hiding Thursday to say he may have ac cidentally released the malicious program that disrupted computer systems around the world. Onel A. de Guzman wore dark glasses and covered his face with a handkerchief as he met re porters, declining to say whether he wrote the vims but conceding “youthful exuberance” may have been to blame. The program released last week sent a flood of e-mails with the subject line “ILOVE YOU” speed ing through computer systems worldwide. Opening the attach ment destroyed saved files, and sent the virus along to other ad dresses in the user’s e-mail file. Experts say the rogue program may cost up to $10 billion, mostly from lost productivity. College officials have said de Guzman helped develop pro grams that may have been com bined to produce the e-mail vims. De Guzman’s lawyer, Rolando Quimbo, said his client had no in tention of meeting with investiga tors, and if de Guzman is subpoe naed, he would exercise his right against self-incrimination and keep quiet.
