bulldozer" became prime minister in 1972 only to be forced to resign in disgrace two years later Partially paralyzed by a stroke in 1985 Tanaka was being treated for diabetes at Tokyo's Keio University Hospital when he died of pneumonia said his adopted son Naoki Tanaka "He was a unique man with unique talents" Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa said Thursday evening after leaving Tanaka's Tokyo home where the body lay in state Hosokawa belonged for a time to Tanaka's faction within the Liberal Democratic Party But last year Hosokawa created his own party and vowed to rid government of the corruption and "money politics" many political analysts trace back to the Tanaka years The Liberal Democrats Tanaka helped shape held power for 38 years before last year's defeat which was blamed in large part on numerous scandals the party's style politics and its heavy emphasis on Tanaka was first elected to Parliament in 1947 and was from his constituency in northern Japan 16 times Once in Parliament he succeeded in building the Liberal Democrats' most powerful tightly kt4 faction and was named to several key Cabinet posts In 1972 he became one of Japan's youngest prime ministers at 54 In that post he opened diplomatic relations with China and advocated a policy of redistributing industry across the nation But two years after he assumed office he was forced to resign in disgrace dogged by questions about his personal fortune allegations of tax evasion and widespread criticism that his economic policies sparked inflation In 1976 he was arrested for allegedly accepting $2 million in exchange for promoting the sale of Lockheed Corp jets while in office He was convicted of graft in 1983 and sentenced to four years in prison Tanaka who held on to his seat in Parliament until 1989 remained free pending an appeal to the Supreme Court The appeal was still unresolved when he died Although Tanaka did not hold any important government posts after his resignation as prime minister he continued to exert a great deal of influence over the country's politics A consummate deal er Tanaka is credited with being a central figure behind the rise of at least four prime ministers His influence ended with his stroke however The final curtain on his era closed in 1987 when he lost control of his party faction to former protege Noboru Takeshita who became prime minister soon after THE ASSOCIATED BONN The Citizens Trade Campaign which includes environmental consumer labor and farm groups was originally created to oppose the GATT deal but switched to NAFTA when it came up before Congress first Wallach said the organization has branches in 48 states and is ready to take on GATT when it comes up for congressional approval sometime after April 15 But President Clinton said Wednesday he was not expecting as tough a congressional fight to win approval for GATT as he had with NAFTA Others agree "I don't think GATT is going to have the emotional appeal that enabled Perot and others to mobilize so much opposition" said Fred Bergsten head of the Institute for International Economics a Washington-based think tank "And the economic benefits from a GATT deal are much greater than NAFTA" free-trad- was 75 A colorful Instability of Balkans ut pute over the republic's name French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said he hoped talks would ince But Macedonia one of the poorest and smallest countries in Europe seems unlikely to pose a threat to anyone Attempting to scare Macedonia into changing its name Athens has made veiled threats that it would clamp an economic embargo on its landlocked neighbor The Skopje government says it has a historic right to the name Macedonia in the heart of the Balkans already Ls seen as a potentially unstable country because it also borders Serbia and has a restive Albanian minority of some 420000 bat of a population of just 2 million The only former Yugoslav republic to have broken away from federation the without a fight Macedonia declared its independence in September 1991 A UN force that includes 315 American troops is stationed in Macedonia to ensure that Balkan hostilities don't spill into the republic Four wars have already been fought this century over the tiny republic Buoying up Macedonia is one reason for the EC's move to forge diplomatic links with it Another is impatience with the Greek government which has bolted from negotiations on settling the dis Infuriated Greeks Say Action Will Worsen GATT Opponents believe the wro will mean that even more control over US environmental health and labor laws will be turned over to international tribunals Their fear stems from the fact that the IVTO will e have more power than GATT does to enforce rules Under GATT dispute panels heard disputes between countries but their rulings could not go into effect if even one country objected to the decision The losing country could always be counted on to object veto However under the WTO the was eliminated "This agreement will shift even more decision-makin- g away from democratically accountable bodies such as Congress to secretive international bureaucracies" said Lori Wallach of the Citizens Trade Campaign the largest US group fighting the GATT accord - THE ASSOCIATED 4 EC Nations to Establish Ties With Macedonia "Under the new procedure if your domestic law is ruled to be in conflict with international trade rules then you will either have to change your law or pay penalties" she said US Trade Representative Mickey Kantor and other American officials have a far different view of the WTO But the United States was concerned enough about the new enforcement powers that it made an effort to win changes in the language detailing when a country has the right to impose antidumping taxes to penalize imported products being sold at unfairly low prices Only after it got those changes did the United States withdraw its objections to a WTO with stronger dispute settlement procedures Kantor insisted that America's environmental health and safety laws are not threatened by the trade deal and neither he said are US laws that allow for retaliation against unfair trade practices Ross
