Teens brutally assault captain
Company Manager Eugene Muller. “This is the first time it has happened to one of my crews, but it has happened to other Chinese fishermen.”
On Wednesday afternoon, national police went to Koo’s to interview the captain about the assault on Sunday. “The detectives are confident they will be making some arrests soon,” Muller said, adding Tian is “still recovering at the hospital.”
Ports Authority deputy director Captain Joe Tiobech said Tuesday he had not received a report from his security staff regarding the incident.
Police Commissioner George Lanwi said Wednesday the matter was under investigation.

He received no assistance from the Ports Authority security guard, although Tian’s friends were able to make a call to police from the Ports Authority booth at the dock after the assault, according to Chinese Association President James Wang.
Police arrived about 15 minutes after the call, and transported the captain to Majuro Hospital’s emergency room for treatment. He required seven stitches to close a gash over his left eye, and two on his right eye.
Why is the security situation so bad around Uliga Dock where there is dock security?” Wang asked. “Why did nobody come and help?”

P1 Checks totaling $446,288.50 have arrived Majuro. This money is the payment for the Long Island wetos that will be used for Majuro’s new airport. Right now the land management office is distributing notices to move off the land to parties having any buildings on the land. P1 “It was agreed that there were inequities with regard to the wages paid Micronesian employees at the Kwajalein Missile Range,” said Marshalls Congress of Micronesia Senator Wilfred Kendall of a recent meeting he had with US Army, Labor and Interior Department representatives. A Labor Department representative said every effort would be made to correct these problems, Kendall said.
P7 You Marshallese people are getting the screws again! You know what the latest word is from Majuro Airport? The new airport, Marshallese ground, has been used by the French military for transporting nuclear bomb material from Europe via Asia and Guam down to the central Pacific. The United States, which has an agreement with the Russkies not to set bombs off in the air, is letting the ignorant French continue to use US controlled air strips to support their nuclear activities. If you notice all the complaints around the Pacific about the French conducting their tests, you will remember that you never heard an official American voice condemning the tests because the Americans have a vested interest in conducting the tests in cooperation with the French. Remember Bikini? How about Lekoj Anjain? How does it feel to know that Marshallese land is still being used to support bomb testing? Give you a lump in your throat? Well, don’t feel too proud to serve unless you know for sure that the lump is caused by pride and not increased atmospheric radiation.

P1 The Bikinians are sitting on a gold mine and they know it. They are holding all of the cards, and they know that, too. Which means that although they expect to make a decision on a joint venture “dive Bikini” operation during meetings in Las Vegas next week, they plan to take a long, hard look at the numerous proposals from scuba dive operators who want to cash in with them, Jack Niedenthal, the Bikinians’ liaison, said.
P7 David C. Fields, recently nominated by President Bush to be the US Ambassador to the RMI, told the Senate Foreign Relations committee hearing on June 24 that he is “excited to have the opportunity to play a supportive role in the development of a recently independent nation…”
P14 Very few people are alive in the Marshall Islands today who lived during the German period of rule from 1885-1914. Likiep resident Helen deBrum not only lived through it, but recalls it as the happiest period in her long life of 96 years.
P15 Before departing Majuro Sunday night, US Ambassador William Bodde told the Journal that one of the most significant accomplishments of the Marshalls during his two year term was the attainment of membership in the United Nations.
