IX THE COMPANY of Arthur Harris, project manager on the island for the Air Force, United Press International correspondent Charles i Bernard took a two hour jeep jride over the 11 miles of navigable roadway linking to the almost-level sea islands. THE LAND crabs, hermit crabs and assorted island birds are the only natives of Palmyra. The eight chickens were imported by the last expedition and left to fend for themselves.

On Palmyra it really can be said; "There's nobody here but us chickens." The last eight occupants of this American soil nearest to the Soviet missile test zone in the Pacific departed for Hawaii yesterday, leaving the area to the mercy of land years or assorted scientific experiments on the atoll. THERE WAS nothing left behind with which to track missiles belonging to Russia or anybody else. As far as could be determined, nothing was planned for the future of Palmyra of a military or missile nature. several ot the little islands into the one called Palmyra. Harris and his crew had spent 10 days on Palmyra putting the coral paved short runway into shape and fixing roadways washed out at several places by frequent rain storms which drop hundreds of inches of rain annually on crabs, hermit crabs, assorted rrin, island birds, eight chickens and the Russians.

De Gaulle Continued from Page 1 issued last night that he was determined to crush the European Insurgents in Algeria who rose in revolt Sunday and waged a bloody Algiers battle with government security forces. DE GAULLE'S government bluntly warned the entrenched Algiers insurgents it was "determined to maintain" its self-determination policy for Algeria and to restore order "as quickly as possible" in the embattled North African city.

The declaration was made in a firm communique after a three-hour cabinet meeting called by De Gaulle to map strategy against anti-government rioters still barricaded in the Algerian capital. At the same time the De Gaulle regime announced it had dispatched' urgent instructions to the top civilian and military officials in Algeria to put a speedy end to fighting that erupted Sunday and left at least 25 killed and 140 wounded. DE GAIXLE summoned the extraordinary cabinet session after reports from Algiers indicated that armed insurgents barricaded in the center of the city were not prepared to bow to the president's summons that they "return to national order." The cabinet communique "The president of the repub lic and the government," It said, "are determined to maintain the Algerian policy that they have adopted and to assure the return of public order as quickly as possible. "ON THIS subject, instruc tions given to the delegate general of the government (Paul Delouvner) and to the commander-in-chief in Alge ria (Gen. Maurice Challe) have been confirmed." The cabinet meeting was called following a half-hour conference between De Gaulle and Debre.

J.

Garner Anthony, attorney for the Campbell Estate, charged that Hawaiian Electric had no plans to build such a plant when it filed a condemnation suit In 1957. (Public utilities may bring such suits if they can show that the project will be for the public benefit) RUSSELL, attorney for HEC, cited a dozen instances in which the company had acted in good faith. Among them: forced shops to close. Army reinforcements were rushed to the southern city. Another crowd in Constan-tine marched a war memorial for an anti-De Gaulle demonstration which was heavily patrolled by police.

The government in Paris admitted that the settlers were having some success with a general strike called Sunday at the height of the bloody insurrection in Algiers. All schools were ordered closed in the Algerian Many people doubt that evacuated residents of this area will ever move back. Leafless papaya trees are almost buried in cinders.

Kapoho made a marvelous comeback after the 1955 eruption, but many people feel that at this moment it has a bleak future. About 200 small earthquakes were recorded at Kilauea, probably as a result of the resettling of the caldera. Meanwhile, the eruption continued to take its toll in human discomfort and displacement.

The ash being thrown up yesterday mingled with a slight drizzle here and covered the immediate area. There are three centers of activity in the cinder cone. The large fountain on the eastern portion of the cone hit 800-foot heights yesterday. The third fountain is a minor "spatter cone" on the western slope of the 'cinder cone. LAVA FROM the main fountain continued to work its way northeasterly in the Koae community area and also poured into the sea in at least nine places.

The fountain pumped lava into a fiery lake in the center of the flow. About half of the lava was spilling off toward the nprtheast last night and rest heading into the sea a half mile above the Coast Guard lighthouse at Cape Kumukahi. One flow that headed info the Koae area appeared dead, according to Eaton, but he warned that the lava was still active on other small fronts in that section.

Along the southern front of the flow, the lava has bulged up against a dike mauka of the lighthouse and stopped. Further seaward from the dike, the flow has encountered numerous natural ridges that protect the lighthouse at least temporarily from lava along the seacoast. The lava has built a peninsula stretching about 500 feet out to sea.

STREAMS OF lava are entering the sea from tubes under the cooler lava surface. Steam continued to boil high into the air. Six Civil Defense workers spent last night and Sunday night keeping a watch on the lava from the lighthouse.
