Scandal causes third resignation in Japan
near P The Associated Press
this mose resort courts speakin One ss' TOKYO — Japan's Economic Planning Agency chief resigned yesterday. He became the third Cabinet minister in less than two months to fall victim to a major stock-trading scandal.
Ken Harada stepped down after news reports said he had received regular political donations from the center of the stock scandal. at the center of the stock scandal.
Harada's resignation was a serious blow to Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita, who had reshuffled his Cabinet on Dec. 27 with a pledge to restore public trust in political ethics.
The Japan Socialist Party, the largest opposition group, quickly called for Takeshita and the rest of the Cabinet to resign. Opposition criticism of the administration also was expected to delay parliamentary debate in coming weeks over the fiscal 1989 budget.

Harada, 69, had served as chair man of a special parliamentary committee examining the stock-trading scandal until he was made the country's chief economic planner in the Cabinet reshuffle.
Harada submitted his resignation shortly after the Cabinet met to approve the budget. Takeshita named Koichiro Aino, a member of parliament and former foreign minister, to succeed him.
Harada is the second member of the new Cabinet to resign because of links to the stock scandal. A member of the previous Cabinet, Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, also stepped down in early December.
The nationally circulated newspaper Asahi Shimbun yesterday reported that Harada had received about $80 a month from Recruit for 14 years. It said a Recruit subsidiary also had donated about $8,000 to a Harada fund-raising party in August.
In a televised news conference after his resignation, Harada acknowledged the donations, but denied any wrongdoing and said the company had "absolutely not asked for any favors" in return.
The Recruit scandal has rocked Japanese politics in the past six months, with at least 16 top politicians acknowledging that they or their aides benefited after being offered a seat in the upper houses in the Recruit subsidiary that rocketed in value soon after public trading began.
The sharps reportedly were offered to more than 100 prominent people, including politicians, businessmen and media officials.
Neither the donations nor the stock transactions were illegal in themselves, but questions of possible bribery, ethics and political fund-raising practices have been raised.

Peruvian miners still trapped

Bodies of three men were recovered at the mouth of the mine Monday. "Two of them show signs of gas from poison gases," Robles said.
The other miners were thought to be on the second, third and fourth levels of the mine, which is halfway up a 3,300-foot mountain, he said.

Lima's La Republica newspaper quoted police as saying the miners had started the fire themselves by the support albaize for better lighting.
Officials said rescuers on the scene lacked technical expertise and equipment. Moria Li said air compressors needed to clear the mines of fire.

VATICAN CITY — A man in a wheelchair hurled a flamable liquid at a 16th century Raphael painting and tried to set it afame yesterday, but Vatican Museum guards rescued the work, officials said.
The guards extinguished the fire before it could reach the "Madonna of Foligno," said Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro.
Police identified the man as Thomas Lange of Berlin, West Germany, who had lived in Italy for about a year, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
Navarro said he was "showing signs of being handicapped, also mentally." After questioning, Lange was taken to the mental health department of Rome's San Filippo Neri hospital for examination.

The man then threw a lighted match at the liquid, which had splashed on the wall and the floor beneath the painting. Navarro said it caught fire and he guarded immediately extinguished the blaze. he said.

The man also was carrying two spray bombs of the type used for personal defense and another bottle of an unidentified liquid, according to the Vatican spokesman.
The "Madonna of Foligo" measures 10 feet by $6\frac{1}{2}$ feet and was painted in 1512-13. It shows the Madonna with child seated on clouds above a sphere surrounded by cherubs. Below are shown saints John the Baptist, Francis and Jerome. In the distance are the Umbrian town of Foligo with a descending cannon ball and a rainbow signifying peace.
Museum officials removed the painting to check or smoke damage but it was to be on display again today.
Navarro said Lange had been seen several times recently at the museum, which houses some of Raphael's most famous works. The man hadig problems that made it difficult for him to walk, he
Police were preparing a report for a judge, who would decide whether to press charges, ANSA reported.
The most serious vandalism against a Vatican work of art occurred in 1972 when Hungarian-born Laszlo Toth battered Michelangelo's famed "Pieta" with a hammer in Cathedral Basilicas of Ss. Peter and Paul. Toth, who screened the Madonna's left arm and veil, broke down the Madonna's left arm and veil and dented the face. The masterpiece was fully restored and is protected by bulletproof glass in the basilica.
Jewish group proposes teaching values in schools
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A leading American Jewish civil rights organization, claiming moral relativism represents a greater danger than the possibility of church-state abuses, is endorsing a movement to teach values in public schools.
The American Jewish Committee has approved a report by a task force that encourages schools to define and promote respect at the foundation of a democracy.
"I think what happened over the last 20 years . . . was (that) a certain
kind of moral relativism did enter in. There was confusion about right and wrong," said Irving M. Levine, the committee's director of national affairs.
The report, to be released next month, is considered significant because of the past reluctance of many groups representing minority religions to address the issue. A copy of the report was obtained by The Associated Press.
president of the American Jewish Committee and chairman of the task force that wrote the report. "I think it's a natural evolution of our attitude and the ability to distinguish between matters of religious faith and shared values."
The role of the public school in teaching values is coming under increasing scrutiny as educators and others debate the effect of so-called value-free education.
"The easiest thing to do is (say) 'let's not touch it because it's too risky,'" said Arnold Gardner, vice
A panel of educators brought together by the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development recommended in its final report last year "that schools define and teach a morality of justice, altruism, diligence and respect for human dignity."
The National Council of Churches, representing main-line Protestant denominations, last year launched an experimental program to bring together churches, schools and teacher-education colleges to help communities establish a consensus on values that should be taught.
