Vietnamese fisherman testifies against Klan
Ik ■
United Press International
j HOUSTON — A Vietnamese
fisherman testified Tuesday that
*n American man in a fishing boat
pointed a pistol at him a month ago
hile he was fishing in Galveston
iay.
In ill I Phuoc Dang, speaking through
Ca f:; ids 10-year-old son, Son Dang,
r i „ said the American man did not say
e . snk pything to him, he just “stuck a
;un at the driver (Dang). The driv-
r didn’t say anything,” the inter-
reter said.
The Vietnamese fisherman tes
tified during a federal trial be
tween Vietnamese fishermen
against native-born Americans
and the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan
offered to aid the Americans who
say they are being forced out of
their livelihood in Galveston Bay
by the numerous immigrant
fishermen.
The Vietnamese fishermen
filed suit against the Klan and
Texas fishermen and claimed their
civil rights have been violated by
threats. The suit also says federal
antitrust and anti-racketeering
laws have been violated and asks
U.S. District Judge Gabrielle
McDonald to issue an injuction
forbidding the intimidation.
The Vietnamese also want her
to send U.S. Marshals to enforce
the order and to ban Klan para
military training statewide.
Dang said he knew who it was
that threatened him, but said he
did not report it to police because
“he and other men don’t want to
have a fight; they don’t want to
argue about it,” the interpreter
explained to Morris Dees, an
attorney with the Alabama-based
Southern Poverty Law Center
who is representing the Viet
namese.
When asked by Sam Adamo,
lawyer for the Texas fishermen
and Texas Klan Grand Dragon
Louis Beam, why he had not come
forth earlier with this information,
Dang’s interpreter said “he and
Americans want to do business
again.
The fishermen in the Kemah-
Seabrook area have been fighting
over fishing rights for two years,
with the native Americans claim
ing the ecology in Galveston Bay
has been damaged by the Viet
namese overfishing. However,
because of recent state legislation
which would limit the time
allowed daily to fish, Adamo said
the friction along the waterfront
will be eased. He said he offered
to settle the case out of court, but
was flatly refused by Dees.
In earlier testimony, Gene
Fisher, a named defendant in the
suit, admitted Monday he once
suggested to Kemah seafood dock
owner Jim Craig that the Viet
namese boats at Craig’s dock could
be burned.
Fisher also admitted he said
publicly that the Texas fishermen
would “help control” Vietnamese
fishermen curtail their shrimping
activities in the bay after he saw a
videotape of himself making the

“several times” that some of the
boats “will have to be taken out of
the water and destroyed.”
Beam, who sits in the cour
troom at the defense table and
reads the Bible most of the day,
led a Klan rally Saturday to raise
money to finance the defense of
the Klan and defendant fisher

offered a “wreath of reconcilia

Gasohol
receives
tax break
United Press International
AUSTIN — In an effort to sti
mulate the gasohol industry in
Texas, the House Tuesday tenta
tively approved a bill allowing
producers of the fuel to sell their
product without the five-cent
state gasoline tax until 1986.
As the bill came out of commit
tee, the tax exemption was tied to
the price of unleaded gasoline. If
the average price of unleaded
went to $1.80, the exemption
would be dropped.
However, the bills sponsor.
Rep. Dan Kubiak, D-Rockdale,
ammended it on the floor to re
move the $1.80 stipulation.
Under the present version,
gasohol producers would be
granted the five-cent exemption
through 1986, then the exemption
would decrease a cent a year until
it is removed in 1990. Kubiak said
that at that point the producers
“will have to fend for themselves. ”
Kubiak said the tax exemptions
were necessary so that producers
could secure loans to build plants
for the production of ethyl alcohol.
Gasohol is a mixture of 10 percent
alcohol and 90 percent unleaded
gas.
According to Kubiak, there are
five different groups awaiting pas
sage of'th£ bill so'they can begin
plant■coliitructie)ii'.' i; He said' L fhat
within four years the state could
be producing 200 million gallons
of alcohol.
Until the Texas plants are able
to produce sufficient alcohol, the
state will have to import it. The
bill specifies alcohol can only be
imported from states that offer a
reciprocal tax exemption.
Gasohol currently sells for ab
out seven cents more than un
leaded, but Kubiak predicted
some of the tax break would be
passed along to consumers in low
er prices.
Highways
rougher than
shuttle ride
United Press International
AUSTIN — Shuttle astronaut
Robert Crippen told the Texas
Legislature the flight in the Col
umbia was surprisingly smooth —
smoother than a trip across the
state’s highways.
“You get a rougher ride on one
of our smooth Texas highways,”
Crippen said in the Monday
appearance with John Young, the
commander of the flight.
According to Young, NASA
materials will comprise one third
of future payloads, with another
third for defense hardware and the
remainder for commercial and
foreign interests.
Defense capabilities will im
prove from the research con
ducted on future shuttle flights,
the astronauts said.
“In the next five years we can
learn in space what it would have
taken 10 to 20 years to learn on the
ground,” Young said.
Sen. J. E. Brown, R-Lake Jack-
son, said the astronauts had “re
kindled the spirit of adventure” in
U.S citizens.
“This country has been needing
something it can be proud of,”
Crippen said. “John and I had the
opportunity to wave the flag on
the side of the Columbia the way
we haven’t for a long time.”
The astronauts presented the
Legislature with a Texas flag that
was carried on the Columbia’s
maiden voyage and earlier pre
sented Gov. Bill Clements with a
patch and American flag that made
the flight.
