GROUP BUILDS OWN NATION IN S. PACIFIC weeks to begin reclaiming up to 400 acres of land on Minerva. Mark Oliver, a U.S. citizen who said he is one of the three directors of the foundation, said in Suva Wednesday their intention was initially to build a port and later a "sea city" as a haven for people who wanted to escape from crippling taxes, riots, crime and drug addicts. "We decided on Minerva after a worldwide search because research showed conclusively that the reefs do not belong to anyone," he said.

"By international law one can claim by annexation only land above the sea that can be built upon. "We have met this requirement by constructing two small islands of coral and sand on the reefs." Oliver said the Ocean Life Research Foundation, established 18 months ago and backed by busincss-men, scientists, doctors and scholars throughout the world, was serious about a sea city republic at Minerva. International engineering companies had been consulted and expenditure on the project so far totaled $180,000, he added. 2 JAILED IN AUSSIE AIRLINE BOMB HOAX flnatlf 3 Ztmt4 33 Jan. 27, 1 972 Part I telephone calls from "Mr, Brown," who said a bomb operated by atmospheric pressure was aboard a Boeing 707 jet bound for Hong Kong.
