The announcement by the Greek rebels that they have called off the civil war is regarded by many officials here as having a far greater Greek significance for Yugoslavia than for Greece.

The end of Greek guerrilla action is believed to foreshadow the beginning of guerrilla activities against Yugoslavia.

Aloha Week has mushroomed in three. years I into the most extensive and elaborate cele- bration of the year. It's grown so fast, in fact, that it has in one 'respect outstripped its facilities: There is no arrangement, for most of the events, whereby the average spectator can be absolutely certain of seeing these events in comfort, and vath unimpeded visibility.

Many years ago the Mid-Pacific Carnival directors faced the same problem. The Mid-Pacific Carnival association was a pro bono publico organization. It was not only a nonprofit group year after year its civic-minded backers cheerfully dug down to pay the deficits. The time soon came when public patronage at the various parades, pageants and outdoor entertainments brought the inevitable results numerous and lusty kicks about overcrowding, inability to get seats, dangerous pressure on little children in the dense throngs, and similar protests. The directors of the Mid-Pacific Carnival took prompt heed and logical action.

By the next Carnival time, there were long sections of well constructed bleacher seats. They could be put up, taken down, hauled from one place to another, readily and quickly. A small charge was made for these seats. The seat buyers knew exactly what they were to-get, and, thanks to efficient ushering and the friendly assistance of traffic and grounds police, the buyers got what they paid for. The Mid-Pacific Carnival association has come and gone and served its purpose.

Aloha Week is the husky, ambitious child of the Jaycee Oldtimers graduates, so to speak, of the Honolulu Junior Chamber of Commerce. It's the product of their fine civic spirit, their energy, their sense of the dramatic and lively for mass entertainment. The preparation for' Aloha Week is literally enormous. It engages thousands of persons, most of whom work for nothing. It runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars of cost and if all the intangible items of expense for, materials and services could be added, it might easily run to more than a million.

And through Aloha Week, Hawaii aims to attract thousands of visitors to the islands who come expecting to be assured that they'll see what has been advertised and expecting to pay for it. The Star-Bulletin suggests that each person who has a kick or a suggestion, put it in writing and send it to the Honolulu Junior Chamber of Commerce, Dillingham building. And this newspaper will be glad to get, and to publish, within space limitations, constructive suggestions on Aloha Week for the future. Letters of not moie than 200 words are invited. And please observe the space limit.

We know su'ch suggestions will be taken to heart by the Jaycees, and will bear fruit in future years. expanding their commerrlal relations with that contry and extending loans to her, the latest being the International bank loan of SI." 00.000 for the purchase of timbering equipment. Earlier this month, the international monetary fund granted Yugoslavia $3,000,000 and before that the U. S. government set up a $20,000,000 line of credit for the Tito regime.

In the, meantime, the possibility of a direct or Indirect military assault on Yugoslavia is no longer being discounted here. The fact that Russia has chosen this moment to suspend Communist guerrilla activities in the Greek peninsula is regarded as further proof that this possibility is to be reckoned with.

here is what happened recently to a little fellow who got into a misunderstanding over his taxes. This taxpayer, Francis J. Massey of 220 2nd St. Washington, a displaced government war worker, found a job after the war as a warehouse worker for Lansburgh Bros, a Washington department store. In 1948 treasury agents checked Mr.

Massey's tax returns for the war years and found proper returns had been filed and taxes paid. Then suddenly it was discovered that a Frank J. Massey had received $150 in dividend's from stock owned in the Washington Gas Light and the treasury promptly assessed Francis J. Massey additional taxes. TAX LIEN ON $28 SALARY Actually, Francis J.

In October, 1947 two years "ago almost to the week the American Institute of Public Opinion asked a cross-section of the nation's voters: "Do you think any other country is already making atom bombs?" The voters who were interviewed replied: Yes 59' No ,33 No opinion 8 Those who replied "yes- were asked, friintfif a Polynesian Mardi Gras and, if you'll pardon the expression, a potent lure for the tourist dollar the off season.

Planning Five Steps Toward a Greater Hawaii PROUD OF THEIR RECORD In spite of the fact that all the news from the services seems to be concerned with feuding and fighting the unification is producing some notable achievements. For instance, the first big product of unification, the military air transport command, announces that its continental division has carried on a full year of scheduled Transport operations absolutely free from fatalities or injuries. STRIKE COMMENT non-technical management problems in which the chamber can operate. There will be the additional phases of encouraging new venture capital to locate in the territory, small business advisory services in the field of management, and sales promotion, to mention a few. What this action of the chamber means is that the Honolulu chamber is embarking upon a coordinated program of industrial promotion and planning calculated to broaden its economic base.

Significantly, this action was taken by business men acting in concert, in the true tradition of American enterprise. 1 The majority of voters have expressed the belief that scientists will be able to develop a defense against the bomb. 2 The public has consistently felt that the atom bomb does NOT make large and powerful armies or navies obsolete. 3 Approximately one adult in 10 in cities of half a million population or more had. by August, 1948, given some thought to moving elsewhere to escape the dangers of a possible atom bomb attack.

4 The awesome destructiveness of the bomb has made a deep impression on the public mind. In 1947, the great majority of voters questioned said the destructive power of the bomb seemed greater than they had at first thought. POLICY TOWARD rV'SSIA 5 No need for a change in attitude toward Russia if she developed the atom bomb was seen by voters polled in 1947. The largest single number felt that if Russia had the bomb our policy should continue to be to keep on friendly terms with her but not to make too many concessions. 6 Concerning a third world war, the weight of sentiment has been that the discovery of the atom bomb decreases the possibility of another armed conflict, on the grounds that fear of retaliation would discourage nations from attacking one another.

7 The average voter is optimistic about the development of atomic energy for peaceful industrial uses. He believes that trains and airplanes will be driven by atomic energy in about 10 years time. 8 A few weeks before the announcement of the Russian A-bomb, the public voted against the U. S. sharing atomic energy secrets with England.

Whether this opinion has changed since the announcement will be shown in future institute surveys. The directors of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce have just approved a five point program of Hawaiian industrial development. As a result of this action, the chamber's trade, commercial and industrial development committee will proceed to draw the details for the program, which now exists in outline form. The five points covered are these: 1 An economic survey to assemble data on Hawaii's resources. 2 Industry conferences to determine future potentials of existing industries and current development obstacles.

3 Direct aid to existing industries and encouragement of potential industries. 4 Increasing the market for Hawaii-made products. 5 Development of agricultural resources. A sixth proposal, originally included in the committee's report, will be handled as a separate problem. It is the question of providing improved job opportunities for those not now employed.

The committee points out that it will be working hand in hand with the governor's It serves notice that Hawaii is not going to accept recent economic reverses lying down. Rather, Hawaii's business men, many of whom realized the fallacy of depending upon a few major industries to provide the basis for prosperity, are determined to cushion future economic shocks by widening and deepening Hawaii's economic foundation. It is particularly noteworthy that the cham ber is not wholly concerned with agricultural development, but is interested as well in the industrial potentialities of the community. When the chamber program is sufficiently PEACE COMES AT LAST TO HAWAII (From the Hartford. Courant) The Hawaiian dock strike, which has been in the headlines much of the time since May 1, has finally been settled.

Probably few readers know what the issues Were in this weary dispute, and fewer care. But a strike that persists for more than five months, tying up much of the economy of Hawaii, is not unimportant. It is significant that Harry Bridges and his striking longsjioremen got little more from their long strike than they could have had last June without it. -r Now Harry Bridges has belatedly discovered that even blockading the Hawaiian islands will not give him what he has sought. So he has flown to Honolulu, negotiated with the shipowners, and accepted the 14 cent increase he flatly rejected earlier.

There is one face saving concession. The ILWU will get an additional automatic 7 cent raise March 1. On those terms, peace returns to Hawaii. As soon as the agreement is ratified, the 2,000 striking longshoremen can begin returning to their jobs. And Hawaii's economy can get back gradually to normal.

With luck, that normality will last until June, 1951, when the new contract is to expire. The only question that remains to be asked is whether the five month strike did anybody any good to counterbalance the obvious ill effects throughout Hawaii. The answer is clear enough. NOW WE COUNT THE STRIKE COSTS (From the Troy, N. Times-Record) Ending of the Hawaiian dockworkers' strikes and of 5,000 operating employes of the Missouri Pacific railroad provides some rays of light in the nation's gloomy industrial picture.

The Hawaiian tie-up will have lasted 178 days when the employes go back to work. It was the largest walkout in maritime history. It terminated, as everybody expected it would, in compromises. advanced, there will be a need for coordina tion with similar activities by other groups in agriculture, government and education. total of $18.92.

This, however, wasnt fast enough for the treasury and it slapped a tax lien on his salary for the remaining $15.59. This got him into trouble with his employer who did not want to be suspected of harboring a tax dodger and he was fired. 9 Thus, unable to get a recommendation from his last employer-except with a tax-dodging record Massey was unable to find full-time employment. His youngest child became ill. the family doctor had not been paid for services and would not come when urgently needed.

The child died and was buried in Potter's field at government expense. This burial expense probably about equalled the improper tax assessment of $34.51 wrung from Mr. Massey. So in the end, the treasury department gained nothing. Finally the office of Deputy Collector J.

Ellis Bowen apologized for the mistake, which they said was made in Baltimore. -We promise it won't happen again," Massey was told. "If you ara assessed again, just ignore it." That's the experience of one little taxpayer who had no money to hire lawyers. ECHOES OF TEArOT DOME On the other hand, here is the experience of a man who had the money to hire lawyers and to live in luxury abroad one Henry K. Blackmer, multimillionaire oilman who fled to France to escape being questioned in the Teapot Dome scandal.

Some of the others who remained in the United States went to jail for their connection with Teapot Dome and the Continental Trading Co. Albert Fall, secretary of the interior in the Harding cabinet, served his sentence. Harry Sinclair served time for refusing to answer questions -of the senate committee.

Last Danny Sullivan, former GOP Colorado politician who dug up the income-tax evidence against Blackmer, told friends in Washington: "Henry Blackmer will never come back to this country while I'm alive." TOM WALSH'S FIGHT Sullivan died shortly thereafter, and almost immediately Blackmer's lawyers arranged to bring him back reportedly with an understanding that he would escape jail sentence.

Now 80 years old. but in excellent spirits and good health, Blackmer flew back on a Stratoliner. 9 Blackmer has powerful friends in the USA, among them GOP Senator Millikln of Colorado, who was a- partner in the law firm that originally handled Blackmer's affairs. Millikin, despite a difference in politics, is close to ex-Senator Ed Johnson, Colorado Democrat, who recommended the appointment of the U. S.

944. 20th Ave. The so-called hula dance was originally connected with religion and worship, and as such was not called hula. In the Pele cult, it was done by priestesses wearing the white kapa, according to the late Prof. Frederick Beckley.

Ti-leaf skirts were used by dancers in the hula kuehu, which was a ritualistic dance performed by trained and skilled dancers, as a "healing ritual." The object of the ti-leaf skirts was to ward off negative influences, which was the primary use to which the ti-leaf was put. Before the missionaries arrived. Hawaiian women were familiar with silks and satins introduced by traders, beachcombers, sealers, pirates, escaped convicts from Australia and whalers, but they usually wore them in yards wrapped around their bodies. There were many uses to Vhich the ti leaf, called la'i by the Hawaiians (from lau ki (ki leaf) to lau'i to la'i). a contraction of lau-ki, were put.

The following list from John Mana, taken by Fornander. Memoirs. Vol. PL III, page 668, indicating those uses: For thatching houses, for wearing apparel, for lau fishing, covering the imu, covering fish and poi, used as a boat, at feasts, brooms, mid-rib made into hats (probably modern), pula'i (whistle), safeguards against illness, and "it is braided into hula skirts and used by the dancers." Mr. Fornander collected between 1860-1880.

In the museum may be seen a raincoat made of la'i. The manner of making the raincoat was similar to that of making a feather cape. In the dance which has been designated as hula there are many types, some of which are entirely foreign, to the kupuna. and whereas the use of la'i was restricted to certain types of dances, today they are used indiscriminately, even in those types ments on principal or interest, although it did allow depreciation to be counted as part of operating costs. The net effect was temporary relief for landlords and another 15 months protection for tenants in those areas still short of housing.

They could as well have been effected weeks ago as now. But as it is the results ha.ve been incalculable losses in workers wages, to shipping and other industries and is a sad jolt to Hawaii's economy. The shorter but serious Missouri Pacific strike is estimated to have cost the railroad $36,000,000 in revenue and the 5,000 strikers $1,400,000 in wages. It forced an additional 20,000 Missouri Pacific employes out of work.

In Arkansas 2,000 other workers in mills dependent on the railroad for materials were laid off. This walkout resulted from disputes over 232 working rule grievances. All but 92 were settled by negotiations. The remainder are to be adjusted under the Railway Labor act. Here again we have belated recourse to negotiation and what amounts to arbitration after the damage, which affected 11 states and thousands of workers, has been done.

Peaceful settlement of industrial disputes has everything to recommend it for employes and employers alike and certainly for the public, the final and usually the chief sufferer from strikes.
