. . The Economy

Rebuilding the karakul industry 8eukes replies to Nabwu President No er A PUBLIC statement issued by the President of the Namibia Building Workers Union (Nabwu), Mr Aloysius Yon, saying that Ms Erica Beukes does not have any authority to collect funds on behalf of the union was dismissed by Mr Hewat Beukes yesterday. e Mr Beukes said that Mrs Beukes and a female colleague were asked to do so by the Nabwu branch in Rehoboth, which is a bona fide part of the union. The Rehoboth branch, according to him, fonns the largest part o( the union, making up about 80% of the total membership of Nabwu. Mr Yon's statement said that the two women were 'begging under cover' of collecting for May Day festivities. The executive committee of Nabwu had in ee In fact decided that the union would not take part in May Day marches, Mr Yon said. Mr Beukes said this decision was a response to the fact that Mr Yon had no worker support, and was forced not to celebrate May 1. He added that the union president was on "an orchestrated propaganda campaign against certain e people." Mr Yon also said that Nabwu did not belong to the Workers Revolutionary Party and "disassociates itself absolutely from the political organisation called the Workers Party." Mr Beukes, himself a member of this this party, said it was not interested in 8 ee 18 manipulating or exploiting trade unions. He added that there was a tradition among leftist political groupings in Namibia not to give infonnation to Die Republikein, but Mr Yon was going out THE MAY karakul pelt auction in London, which is run by the plummeted a further 20%-30% again of its way to give 'union secrets' to that newspaper, which was regarded by the Hudson Bay company, has been cancelled. this year.

GUNNERS' GLORY

ARSENAL stretched their lead at the top of English soccer's first division to six points when they hammered Norwich 5-0 yesterday. Alan Smith scored twice and Nigel Winterbum, Michael Thomas and David Rocastle netted the others as Arsenal killed off any lingering title hopes of ,Norwich, surprise league leaders for much of the fIrst half of the season. Liverpool, who face city neighbours Everton away tomorrow, have two games in hand and, if they win both, will be on level terms with the leaders in the tightest title race in years. Liverpool played Scotland's Celtic on Sunday in their first game since 95 people died at their FA Cup semi -fmal against Nottingham Forest in Sheffield on April 15. Arsenal, themselves in action for the fIrst time since the day of the Sheffield tragedy, quickly seized control against Norwich, who are still third in the table but trail the leaders by 11 points having failed to win in seven games. Winterbum -scored after 15 minutes and Smith added the second eight minutes before half-time, latching on to a massive clearance by goalkeeper John Lukic and swivelling to sweep a spectacular 20-metre shot inside the WATCH IT BOY: Fire Naibab (extreme left), Santos right-back bad a superb game against Young right-hand post.

Tbe two sides drew 1-1. _ Thomas made it 3-0 nine minutes after the interval, Smith nabbed his second nine minutes from the end and Rocastle pounced for the fifth wi thin 60 seconds of the restart. Smith, celebrating a return three weeks after fracturing a cheek-bone, took his tally for the season to 23 goals and was Jiamed Man of the Match. Norwich manager Dave Stringerreckons Arsenal will take a lot of stopping in their bid for the title. "On that form they must have areal chance of walking away with it We were totally outplayed and outfought. We were also-rans," TOS he said. Arsenal manager George Graham was delighted with his side's best win of the season. "We can play better than that and have done on a few occasions this season. But it was good quality fmishing and there was some excellent work in defence as well," he said. OLYMPIC CHAMP TURNS BACK ON COUNTRY
