Chinese learn
Western law
from American
BEIJING (AP) — When James
Murray talks about free speech and
the right to remain silent, Chinese
police pay attention.
The 60-year-old former police
chief from Milpitas, Calif., is the First
foreigner ever to be hired as a pro
fessor at the People’s Public Security
University, an elite training ground
for Chinese police officers.
Murray, who arrived at the four-
year academy last fall, teaches a
broad survey of American police sci
ence. He lectures to about 80 uni
formed students on Western law en
forcement history, the makeup and
management of American police
agencies, search and patrol prac
tices, technology, race relations and
police ethics.
“I have a free hand to teach what I
want and answer any questions,” he
said.
Murray said he even showed the
movie “Dirty Harry” to point out
methods of interrogation that would
be unacceptable in a real-life case.
He said his students are “in
trigued” when he tells them that
U.S. citizens have the right not to in
criminate themselves, and that
Americans have constitutional rights
to free speech, assembly and posses
sion of firearms.
“I tell them that the press doesn’t
have to be your enemy” and that
U.S. journalists have wide access to
police records. “They have a little
difficulty with that sort of thing.”
That’s only natural in a nation
where the huge, highly visible and
secretive police force is still very
much law unto itself.
Despite progress in the past de
cade in defining and guaranteeing
legal rights, police still detain sus
pects for weeks, and sometimes
months, without filing charges, and
confessions gained through torture,
although banned, are an acknowl
edged problem.
In 1988, there were 4,700 cases of
police found guilty of extortion, fra-
meups, accepting bribes and tortur
ing suspects. In 227 cases, prisoners
were disabled or killed.
The general populace regards po
lice — from traffic cops to the par
amilitary People’s Armed Police —
with fear and suspicion.
Public Security Minister Wang
Fang, speaking at Murray’s univer
sity last year, said 40 percent of
Chinese police have only junior high
educations or less, and cited low ed
ucation levels as one factor behind
improper behavior.
Education must also be promoted,
Wang said, because crime in China is
increasing and changing as eco
nomic reforms make people richer
and less subject to state controls.
According to ministry figures,
there were 827,000 crime cases last
year, up 45 percent from 1987. Se
rious crimes rose 66 percent to
230,000, and crimes such as prosti
tution and drug trafficking, are flou
rishing.

Exxon apologizes for destructive oil spill
VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) — Ex
xon apologized Monday for caus
ing the nation’s biggest oil spill
and promised to clean up every
fouled beach in Prince William
Sound, but workers on those
greasy-smelling beaches said their
efforts are futile.
Police continued searching for
the captain of the tanker Exxon
Valdez, which crashed into Bligh
Reef on March 24, spilling 10.1
million gallons of North Slope
crude.
The oil slick has now grown
larger than Rhode Island. Scien
tists reported more wildlife
deaths and said a vital herring
Fishery was threatened. The
Prince William Sound Fishery is
worth more than $150 million an
nually.
“I want to tell you how sorry I
am that this accident took place,”
Exxon Chairman L.G. Rawl sai-
din full-page advertisements
placed in newspapers Monday.
“We cannot, of course, undo
what has been done. But 1 can as
sure you that since March 24, the
accident has been receiving our
full attention and will continue to
do so.”
More than 1,000 seabirds and
at least 20 sea otters caught in the
oil have died, some found cov
ered with asphalt-hard oil. Offi
cials said the death toll is probably
much higher, but they have had
time to survey only a slice of the
Sound’s 2,500 miles of coastline.
Department of Fish and Game
spokesman Jon Lyman said Mon
day a deer found dead on Naked
Island about 25 miles southwest
of the tanker had apparently
eaten contaminated food, an indi
cation of how rapidly the spill was
spreading.
New measures increase aviation security
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
United States announced new
measures to combat sky terrorism
Monday as relatives of passengers
killed in the Pan Am Flight 103
bombing mounted a campaign to
complain about aviation security
and the government’s “lack of
compassion” following the disas
ter.
Transportation Secretary Sam
uel Skinner, who along with Pres
ident Bush met with several rela
tives of those killed in the
explosion over Scotland, said at a
news conference that airlines will
be required to install devices to
detect plastic explosives in major
U.S. and foreign airports.
Relatives of victims in the Dec.
21 explosion, which has been
blamed on a plastic device hidden
in a radio-cassette player, praised
Bush for concern shown in the
meeting and said Skinner’s an
nouncement was a good first step
But spokesman Bert Ammei-
man of Demarest, N.J., told a
rally across the street from the
White House that measures an
nounced by Skinner were not
enough.”
Ammerman, whose brother
Tom was one of 270 victims o
the crash, asked for a unified con
gressional investigation of the di
saster, hand-searching of all lug
gage put aboard airliners, and an
end to a system that allows noti i-
cation only of airline, airport an
government security personne
when there’s a terrorist threat.
Skinner said he would not a

inquiry, although Bush told
relatives he would consi e
pressing for such a probe as op
posed to several separate con
gressional investigations.
Bush begins week of talks on Middle Ea:
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Presi-
dent Bush, opening a week of in
tensive talks on the Middle East,
met with Egyptian President
Hosm Mubarak on Monday and
said a new atmosphere” must be
created between Israel and Arab
nations.

discussion, Bush urged an end to
