The bill, proposed by council member and mayoral hopeful John Ray, limits outside income for the mayor and council members to $10,000 per year. One council member called the bill a "cheap shot" at Jackson, who earns Singapore lure stirs crowds in Hong Kong Journal o) Commarce HONG i KONG Police were to maintain' order Tuesday after thousands of anxious local residents besieged the Singapore government's equivalent of an em-, bassy to take advantage of Singapore's newly liberalized migration laws. There was so much pandemonium that the Singapore Commission, the de facto embassy, was forced to stop distributing leaflets and forms within two hours of its opening.

Applications will be dealt with by mail from now on, officials said. "The response has been overwhelming, with massive crowds," said Michael Lim of SMC (HK) a Singapore government-backed company that handles recruitment. "In the interest of public safety, we have decided to close the distribution booth and ask people to apply by post." Singapore announced Monday it was substantially easing the requirements for immigration by an initial 25,000 Hong Kong residents and their families. Many in Hong Kong are seeking new homes abroad before China takes control of the island's government from Britain in 1997. China's suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations in that nation has fueled the desire to leave.

Lines began forming outside the commission at 6 a.m., eventually snaking more than a quarter-mile along the streets. Lim estimated 13,000 forms were distributed in the short time the booth was open. While many emigres have gone to Canada, Australia and the United States, Singapore is an attractive destination. The tiny city-state is. also predominantly Chineseand is only 1,500 miles away.

Adding to the allure is the Singapore government's offer to allow interested people to register for immigration, but take as long as five years to actually move. This provides just the kind of insurance policy people here are demanding, without success, from Britain: a safe haven if things go badly after 1997. Most residents say they want to remain in Hong Kong, where they have roots and jobs, and will do so if they know they are assured they will be able to get out in case of catastrophe. most ot his $200,000 annual income from speeches.

Group: Bombs were warnings to Saudis BEIRUT A previously unknown Arab group from West Beirut claimed responsibility Tuesday for two bombings in Saudi Arabia that stoked a fresh political dispute' over Islam's holiest pilgrimage. The group, calling itself "The Angry Arab Generation," distributed a statement to a Western news agency in which it said the blasts were a warning to Saudi rulers, whom it accused of recognizing Israel's right to exist and securing the Jewish state's interest in the region.
