Option 23 "Two thumbs up!” Visa, Mastercard abandon joint ventur NEW YORK (AP) —Visa U.S.A. Inc. and Mastercard International agreed to abandon a national debit card venture to settle charges by 14 states including Texas that they schemed to monopolize the emerg ing market, it was announced Tues day. But the giant credit card associa tions — the world’s largest with a combined 370 million cardholders worldwide — denied the allegations and said they agreed to the set tlement partly to avoid a lengthy le gal battle. Both said they would continue de veloping separate debit card sys tems. machine networks — Cirrus System Inc. of Downers Grove, Ill., and Plus System Inc. of Denver, both of which had been formulating their own plans for national debit card networks since the early 1980s. Visa also took over the Interlink Network, based in San Mateo, Calif., and we would have prevailed in the courts.” He said Entree was abandoned partly because some banks had be gun to lose interest in it in the face of what could have been a lengthy court battle. The other states involved in the suit were: Arizona, California, Con- Wedr Visa and Mastercard began oping Entree in 1986 and signed up about 200 banks to pate in the network, accordi Richard Woods, a spokesmaa Mastercard.

The antitrust suit, filed June 26 in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, claimed Visa and Mastercard’s “En tree” debit card network had an un fair advantage over smaller, regional competitors because virtually every major U.S. bank already was a Visa or Mastercard member. The suit also noted Visa and Mas tercard had gained control of the na tion’s two largest automatic teller “There would have been no com petitive forces at work,” Robert Abrams, the New York attorney general who led the states’ action, told a news conference. “The agreement doesn’t prevent the con cept from going forward.

The pope’s appeal came on the third day of his second trip to Mex ico. His schedule Tuesday also in cluded a Mass with youths at the nearby shrine of San Juan de los La gos and a talk to diplomats in Mexico City. Because the pope was only stop ping off at the airport here, 2/5 miles northwest of Mexico City, rep licas of downtown colonial buildings were installed as a backdrop. The pope, speaking under a white parasol to ward off the blazing sun, noted recent increased contacts be tween the Vatican and Mexico, whose constitution has harsh restric tions on religious activity. “A new perspective of contacts be tween the church and the political community of this country is occur ring in this day,” the pope said. “And in this phase of better under standing and dialogue, the church wants to offer its own support, with out straying from its specific goals and abilities.” It was the pope’s most direct pub lic comment on the gradual relaxa tion of the church-state relationship in Mexico that was symbolized when President Carlos Salinas de Gortari met John Paul at the Mexico City air port on Sunday. According to the 1917 constitu tion, all schools must be govern ment-run, with a curriculum set by federal authorities. In practice, however, Catholic schools and universities have long existed and are growing in number. In one of the paradoxes that charac terizes church-state relations, many government leaders send their chil dren to Catholic schools, which are generally considered of higher qual ity. for visit, church policy Pope draws criticism MEXICO CITY (AP) — ■ tongues can he heard amid in of the cheering throngs who have greeted Pope John Paul il in Mexico.

The conservative, pro-govern ment newspaper Excelsior ran a cartoon about church opposition to birth control that showed the mg storks. They are criticizing Roman Catholic policy, the exclusivity of the first papal Mass on Sunday and the commercial hoopla sur rounding the pontiffs eight-day visit. They are singing counterpoint to the chant that has echoed through the streets: “John Paul Political analyst Adolfo Gilly, meanwhile, described the pope in a front-page piece in the daily La Jornada as “that great priest of the Old Testament who gt>es around the world preaching ‘sub mission theology ’/' as opposed to “liberation theology/’ a doctrine that holds the church must acti vely involve itself in the fight for social justice.

He added that he hoped Mexicans would overcome the idea that the church had obstructed cultural and scientific progress, an objection raised by opponents of religious ed ucation in Mexico. The pope drew wild cheers when he spontaneously saluted the “cora- zones calientes,” or “hot hearts,” of Aguascalientes, which means hot wa ters and refers to the area’s thermal springs.

The pontiff said Mexico had cor rectly focused for decades on ensur ing basic education for all, but that with the changes in the world, the country now had to improve instruc tion. “There is therefore the need to develop the capacity of analysis and discernment, education in virtues, “It is enough to remember the se cular educative efforts of the reli- f jous and ecclesiastical institutions, rom the first evangelization until the present day,” he said. The throng did “the wave” and also waved white handkerchiefs and flags bearing the image of the pope. The church lost the right to reli gious schools because its liberal op ponents during the late 19th and John Paul then traveled to the nearby shrine of the Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos. The 18th-century sanctuary, in a pink stone basilica, contains an image of the Virgin made of corn husks.
