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.
