"The body had decomposed. It had been there for a while," said Detective Eric Campos. A coroner's autopsy will determine whether the skeletal remains found Tuesday in a concrete-filled trash can inside a public storage locker is the missing 4-year-old brother of La-Toya Harris.

The children's aunt and legal guardian, Maddie Moore, was charged with murder after LaToya's body was found encased in cement in a trash container behind Moore's Los Angeles home July 28. The boy, who also lived with Moore, has been missing since 1991, Campos said. The detective declined to release the name of the missing boy. Campos said LaToya and her brother were among three children Moore adopted from her sister, whose whereabouts are unknown. Campos said police believe she is homeless and living on the streets.

Boy dies PASADENA, Calif. (AP) A 10-year-old boy died and three people were hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a faulty natural gas heater, authorities said Thursday.

Blast kills 16 HONG KONG (AP) A blast trig gered by exploding crates of fire- crackers killed 16 people and injured seven at a fireworks market in northern China, a Beijing run newspaper in Hong Kong said today. The Feb. 5 explosion at Yuan Shi county in Hebei province blew out doors and windows from surrounding buildings and destroyed 11 tractors and more than a dozen bicycles, Wen Wei Po said. A spark ignited several crates of firecrackers, triggering the blast, the newspaper said. It said owners of stalls had broken safety regulations.

milk. A synthetic version has been developed that can be injected into cows to increase their milk production by up to 20 percent But this region's 41 dairy fanners said the production increase isnt worth the risk that consumers will shun their dairy products out of fear that BST could be harmful. "WeVe been dreading this day for years because of the fear of consumer perception," said Pete Olsen, co-owner of the Hillside Dairy in Fallon. "We dont need to lose sales. The National Dairy Board spends over $100 million a year to promote dairy products and all of that can get lost in a big hurry." Olsen, who represents northern Nevada dairy farmers in the California Cooperative Creamery, said BST has been tested for years and found to be safe by the FDA.

But farmers also realize that consumers are leery when it comes to food additives. "There are a lot of examples where people get scared and logic and reason get lost," he said. "There are no human food safety issues at all, but as dairymen, we absolutely don't want this product on the market" Dairy farmers are not alone in shunning the hormone. Major grocery store chains in the area also have asked their milk suppliers not to inject their cows with BST. "The cooperatives have all sent letters asking their milk producers to refrain from using BST," said Shelley Thomas, public affairs director for Smith's supermarket "But there is no way to test for BST since it's already naturally present in the milk, so we have to rely upon their integrity." Officials with Model Dairy in Reno, northern Nevada's largest-dairy product maker, said the company is considering putting labels on its products stating that they contain no added BST.

"Our sole source of milk comes from northern Nevada dairymen," said Model Dairy operations manager Kelly Kading. "We've checked with those producers and with the producers of other products that are packaged for us and anything with the Model Dairy logo will not have BST." slative elections last year and district elections scheduled this year. The elections are intended to complete a so-called transition to democracy in which military ruler Jerry J. Rawlings transformed himself into a civilian and set rules that favored his victory in 1992. There are three Konkomba legislators.

But they would not speak to a reporter after being reprimanded for parliamentary shoutine matches where they boasted about being "like the Israelis: for every Konkomba killed, we will kill 10." Konkomba spokesman Abdullai Suhlanba charged: "The others said they going to kick out the Konkomba tribe and push us back to Togo, where they say we belong." This area of Ghana was part of German Togoland in the late 1800s. When Germany lost World War it was divided between Britain and France. In a 1957 referendum, British Togoland opted to join the Gold Coast to become Ghana, Africa's first country to win independence from European colonizers. Similar border disputes in Africa have Nigerian and Cameroonian troops set for military confrontation; Libyan troops occupying northern Chad despite a February ruling from the world court, Tuareg rebels in Mali and Niger fighting for autonomy, and an ongoing secessionist rebellion in southern Senegal. History relates that the Konkomba have lived in this area more than 300 years.

Their nomadic habits, farming TAMALE, Ghana (AP) Sumani Sumaila's little body once black, now covered with oozing white and pink flesh is as unlikely to heal as the ethnic scars left by an orgy of killing. If the 6-yearoId lives, the scabs that will grow over his raw burned flesh will be an unsightly reminder of fighting over a land dispute that goes back to colonial times and left 1,000 people dead this month. "We've had troubles, before, but never anything on this scale, the brutal killings of women and children, the destruction of villages, the devastation of crops," said Mohamed Ibn Chambas, a legislator from the strife-torn northeast region of Ghana. He thought the uprising was typical of ethnic unrest sweeping West Africa since a violent movement to overthrow dictators and install democracy began in 1990. "Under authoritarian regimes, there was a swift response to security issues.

But now when you are trying to firm things up democratically, there's a tendency for people to test the limits of the state." this conflict is unfolding the homeland of the Tather of the pan-Africanist movement, Kwame Nkrumah. Ghana's first president, he dreamed and preached of molding a continental brotherhood superseding borders and ethnic, religious and language differences. Konkomba tribespeople say they attacked because they were denied the right to put up candidates in legi a piece of land for a year then moving on in a sort of traditional crop rotation, have contributed to other groups insisting they are not residents. Last month, the traditional king of the region, Ya Na Yakubu, refused a Konkomba demand for a paramount chieftaincy that would also give the group land. Simmering resentment overflowed when a Konkomba man killed a Na-numba in a marketplace argument about the price of a guinea fowl.

Na-numbas slaughtered the Konkomba man's family. The Konkomba attacked en masse. Group CapL George Ayeetey told relief agencies on Wednesday that 256 towns and villages were destroyed, belonging mainly to the Dagomba, Nanumba and Gonja people, before the military intervened. Soldiers buried more than 1,000 bodies with which the Konkomba lined more than 150 miles of red dust roads from Tamale, the regional center, east to Yendi and then south to Bimbila. Many victims were burned to death, others had poisoned arrows stuck in the backs of their torsos.

Reports of sporadic attacks continue along with a flow of refugees officially put at 100,000. Among refugees, stories abound of Konkomba warriors mounted on bicycles and mopeds and armed ith bows and arrows, old hunting rifles and clubs and machetes. Sumani's mother, Andaratu Su-maila, was getting water, at dawn when she was alerted by cries from ululating women she said made up the rear of a war party. Sumani was sleeping in their hut at Yishe village, near Tamale. "First there was a lot of shooting, then they came out of the bushes with clubs and guns and firing flaming arrows into the thatch (roofs) of the huts," Sumaila said.

"By the time our men were able to get their guns and cutlasses out many people were killed and all our houses were burning." Sumani's uncle managed to save the boy. But nurses caring for him at Tamale regional hospital said Sumani's chances of living are slim. Two-thirds of his skin was burned off. He lies in a bed without sheets in a hospital without running water or any cooling system against 100-de-gree temperatures. Infection that has already set in probably will kill him.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Ground was broken Wednesday for the Hard Rock Hotel ti Casino, an 11-story resort by the famed restaurant chain that will include guitar-shaped roulette tables and chandeliers made from gold saxophones. "This will be the world's first rock 'n' roll hotel-casino," enthused Hard Rock Cafe founder and president Peter Morton. Morton predicted the $80 million project would bring "a new style of energy to Las Vegas." "For the first time, everything great about rock 'n' roll and entertainment will be all together under one big roof," Morton said. As if to emphasize the point, he introduced rock legends B.B. King and Eddie Van Halen, along with rock figures Chris Isaak and Robin Wilson.

Also on hand was Gov. Bob Miller, who praised the project "We who grew up with rock 'n' roll know that rock 'n' roll will never die," the governor said. He praised the union of Morton's company and Harvey's Casino Resorts of Lake Ta-hoe, Nev' which owns 40 percent interest in the project Harvey's' will manage the gaming and hotel operations. Miller, who was sitting in the audience, was almost overlooked by Morton until someone mentioned the governor's presence. When asked to come forward and make a few remarks, the governor commented: "I want to congratulate this hotel, which will now be located in the state of Arizona." The humorous threat drew laughs from the audience.

The Hard Rock Cafe opened here in September of 1990 at a site several blocks east of the Las Vegas Strip. Plans were later announced for a hotel-casino with a giant guitar atop the structure, but that concept was killed by officials who expressed concern it would pose a hazard to air traffic at nearby McCarran International Airport. In September 1993, Hard Rock and Harvey's announced formation of a corporation to build the resort, which will be located on land adjacent to the local Hard Rock Cafe. The resort will include a 28,000 square-foot casino featuring "entertainment memorabilia from the world's greatest rock music and movie legends, past and present" The 345-room hotel is scheduled to open in December 1994. mm Export licenses legislation told ManufaptllPPm "Thic isnt rofnrm DBFFEREMCE' We invite you to sample our new and delicious buffets (a different one every day of the week!) in our newly remodeled and expanded Coffee Garden.

cZLTEL MEXICAN BUFFET BUFFET 5-10 PM $8.50 ill 5-10 PM $8.50 DR. ROY W. HANSEN, D.C., OF RUBY VIEW CHIROPRACTIC WASHINGTON (AP) The Clinton administration put forward legislation Thursday to revamp the government's procedures for granting export licenses for sensitive technology. The administration hailed its rewrite of the 1979 Export Administration Act as an effort to clear away outmoded requirements that were left over from the Cold War. "We believe the legislation strikes the critical balance between non-proliferation concerns and economic concerns," Commerce Secretary Ron Brown said at a briefing on the proposed legislation, which had been delayed because of a heated struggle inside the administration that ultimately had to be settled by President Clinton.

However, business groups, who last fall had praised the administration for lifting restrictions on certain computer exports, said they were deeply disappointed in the new measure, charging that it did not go far enough to lift restrictions that they charged were costing U.S. businesses up to $30 billion annually in lost sales. "As an initiative to reform the export control system, the administration's proposal just doesnt measure up," said Howard Lewis, vice president at the National Association of TfT ITALIAN BUFFET presents DR.

Groups representing manufacturers of computers, telecommunications equipment and chemical products attacked the administration proposal and pledged their continued support for industry-backed legislation introduced by Rep.

Toby Roth, and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. "The administration is asking industry to accept a business-as-usual approach to the export control system. They have just put a new date on an old law," said William Krist, senior vice president for the American Electronics Association. The administration proposal would reduce the length of time that government agencies have to review licenses for export licenses and apply greater restrictions on the government's ability to impose export controls on U.S.

companies when other nations are not willing to go along. The export controls were originally imposed during the Cold War to keep sensitive technology out of the hands of communist countries. However, the administration in its rewrite of the legislation sought to focus the controls on ways to guard against sensitive technology being used by renegade countries. It seeks to control technology that could be used to develop nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and the missile systems to deliver such weapons. At a briefing staged by opponents of the administration effort, the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce produced a "chart from hell" showing all the steps exporters are required to take now to satisfy current requirements on high technology items. Willard Workman, a chamber official, said by failing to cut down on the number of government agencies involved in export controls, which can total up to 12, the administration was continuing an outofontrol process that continually frustrated the attempts by businesses to get resolution of their exporUontrol requests.
