Marshall Islanders vote on their independence
By United Press International
MAJURO, Marshall Islands — Marshall Islanders voted on whether to end 36 years of U.S. trusteeship.
The 13,000 voters of the Micronesian republic were expected to approve narrowly the "Compact of Free Association" giving the nation independence from the United States except for defense matters.
A deciding issue was the amount of compensation offered by the United States to islanders displaced or exposed to radiation during nuclear testing at Eniwetok and Bikini atolls from 1946 to 1958.
The compact provides for a $150 million trust fund. Opponents say that is inadequate, but supporters including the island's president, Amata Kabua, believe it is too low.
KABUA AND OTHER supporters,
and leading opponents of the compact,
made last-minute radio appeals in the hours before the polls opened. The voting was to continue for 12 hours and be witnessed by a team of U.N. observers who arrived in the republic a week ago.
week ago.
Officials said the vote-counting would begin tomorrow and was expected to take about two days.
The compact also would provide about $750 million in U.S. aid over its 15-year life and would allow the United States to continue use for up to 30 years of the Kwajalein strategic missile testing range.
OPPONENTS INCLUDE not only atomic-testing victims and landowners on Kwajalein atoll, to traditionalist elements as well.
Kabua has termed the compact "the last great hope" for the 33,000 Marshallese people and has campaigned strenuously for its approval.
The compacts must be approved by the U.S. Congress.

Contrary to some rumors that have been floating around lately,
GRAN SPORT is NOT going out of business. (But our competitors sure wish we were!)
GRAN SPORT is the best equipped canoeing shop in this part of the country. (KU - K State canoe racers: We have the best selection of angle paddles in the Midwest.) We also rent canoes - FAST canoes, not your average "bruisewater" barges. GRAN SPORT has KHS bicycles: Quality comparable to the highly-prized "name" brands, at discount store prices.
By the end of September, GRAN SPORT will have a complete selection of functional and fashionable outerwear, ski wear, around-town wear, polypropylene bodywear, pile, Gore-Tex running suits, and cold-weather running suits from the likes of:
GRAN SPORT carries the finest outdoor equipment and clothing for oamping, hiking, backpacking, canoeeing, skiing, climbing, and orienteering.
But most important of all, the prices at **GRAN SPORT** are the lowest you will find ANYWHERE. We guarantee it! On some items, our prices are ridiculously low. Why do we do it? We guess we're just a little crazy. But our madness is your gladness.
The staff at GRAN SPORT is a veritable wellspring of knowledge and free advice on where to go camping, hiking, canoeing, etc. and how to do it when you get there.
Stop in anytime (anytime we're open, that is) for some conversation, a cup of coffee, or just to "set a spell" with the friendly folks at GRAN SPORT.
So come on over to our neck of the woods. We're just 4 blocks North of the stadium at 7th & Arkansas. We're a little off the beaten path, but we'll make you glad you found us.
