The family will re Arrests End Hawaii Protest HILO, Hawaii (AP) Police and National Guard troops arrested about 65 demonstrators who closed Hilo airport for half an hour Monday when they tried to sit down on the runway to protest alleged inequities against natives of Hawaii. Authorities also arrested nine reporters who had followed the demonstrators onto the airfield. The guardsmen, Hawaii County police and airport security guards loaded the demonstrators and reporters onto a bus that took them to the county correctional facility for booking, state transportation director Ryokichi Higashionna said. They were booked on a misdemeanor trespassing charge and released on their own recognizance.

The demonstration was non-violent and the protesters never reached the runway, but the airport closed for about 30 minutes and several incoming flights were diverted to other airports, Higashionna said. The protest followed a rally by several hundred native Hawaiians and their supporters at a nearby school. They denounced the rent-free use of the state-run airport on lands set aside for Hawaiian homesteading by an act of Congress. Much of the Hawaiian Homes land is leased to pay for the Hawaiian Homes program and litigation involving whether state agencies can use the land free of charge is now before the courts. Other issues involve alleged mismanagement of the Bishop Estate, which is supposed to provide education for native Hawaiians, the U.S.

Navy's bombing practice on the island of Kahoolawe and the high proportion of native Hawaiians in the state's prisons. The demonstration at the airport had been planned for several weeks and Gov. George R. Ariyoshi had called out the National Guard in advance. After the demonstrators broke down a gate at the airport to gain access to the runway, they managed to get past one line of police officers and a line of guardsmen before being halted by a second line of guardsmen, witnesses said.

Witnesses said the arrests were made peacefully. The reporters were arrested along with the de-monostrators because they also had entered the airport area illegally, Higashionna said. "It was decided that whoever came through the fenced area would be arrested," he said. Hilo, on the island of Hawaii, is about 200 miles southeast of Honolulu, which is in the island of Oahu.

WASHINGTON (AP) Thanks to Hollywood, Americans are wary of sharks again this summer. But one of the nation's leading oceanographers warns that rip currents can be a much bigger danger. "Don't get me wrong; a shark can be dangerous.

But a swimmer in our coastal waters is much more apt to come up against a rip current. If you don't know how to react, panic is followed by fatigue, which is often followed by drowning. It's as simple and final as that," said Dr. Harris B. Stewart.

Stewart, who heads the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories in Miami, described the rip current as a strong, narrow outflow of ocean water moving away from shore. Swimmers can find themselves being drawn out to sea by this strong current. A beach may have several of these killer currents one day, and none the next, Stewart said. He said the current, once past the surf zone, spreads out and dies rapidly. He said such a current can be detected because it breaks up the normal wave pattern in the water.

The current will appear as crisscross lines perpendicular to the beach, with small choppy waves forming a band out to the surf zone. Often there is a foam line and usually the surf is lower where the rip current passes through the breakers, he said. If caught in a rip current, Stewart said, a swimmer will find himself moving out to sea faster than others nearby. This is when most people start swimming hard toward shore, which is a mistake, according to Stewart.
