Ridgway and his United Nations command were listening today for the Communist answer which may be the key to whether there remains a chance for peace or will be all-out war in Korea. THERE HAS BEEN no official reply from Communist leaders Kim II Sung and Peng Teh-huai, to whom Ridgway message was addressed.

But there were straws in the wind, and these were not promising. Communist radio Peiping grum bled that the United Nations is nutting off resumption of the peace talks, and attempting to "escape responsibility" for Red charges of neutrality zone viola tions at the old Kaesong conference sit, by harping on the demand for a new meeting place.

THE ATTORNEY general had been mentioned as a choice for vacant seventh circuit post, but he has not sought indorsement by the Hawaii Bar association. "If I had been a candidate I would have submitted my name to the bar association for its indorsement," he said, adding "I consider it inappropriate for anyone to go after an appointment of this type without first seeking indorsement by the bar association."

BUT FARRINGTON appeared to take a middle view. He recalled that the original decision to install flat headstones was made before the temporary wooden crosses were installed. "In view of the feeling aroused by the removal of the crosses, which have made such a deep impression on many Hawaii residents," Farrington said, "I believe that the original decision should be re-examined. 'If it is found that a majority of the nearest of kin and veterans in the territory favor crosses," he said, "then the necessary funds for this purpose should be provided. I believe that Punchbowl is developing into one of the most impressive war memorials in the nation and that no expense should be spared to honor those who have been laid to rest there." HE REFERRED here to Pentagon explanations.

The army said that at other national- cemeteries, such as Arlington, headstones are used because wooden crosses de- Continued on Page 12, Col. 3) Undaunted by Loss fOf Yacht Tanners Still Seek Eden SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 27 (UP) A broke but hopeful Honolulu couple said today they still hoped to get away from the "world's mess" on a romantic south sea isle even though their $13,000 yacht is a complete loss.

27 (UP) Iranian soldiers took over the giant Abadan refinery of the nationalized Anslo-Iran- ian Oil Co. today in a swift move which locked British technicians outside the refinery gates. Only 10 key Batons of the more than 300 technicians who have been told to get out of Iran by Oct. 4 were given passes to the refinery by the Iranians who effected the seizure at dawn. ALL THE OTHERS, including refinery manager B.

K. Ross, Britain's top oil technician, found their way barred by the bayonets of stoney-faced soldiers when they came to work. Other armed guards were put on power stations and water-pumping stations, and it was explained they were watching against possible sabotage.

SMYTH ISSUED the following statement: "The suspension of six career employes of the bureau of internal revenue who have devoted their lives to government service is outrageous. I am confident that the pending inevstigations will establish the personal integrity and honesly of these employes as well as my own and will remove the shadow of suspicion which has been placed over hundreds of honest and capable government employes who have served our government faithfully and well."

m's Civil Service (First in a Series) Although many in city-county government circles are to comment, but not for publication, the consensus of those both in and out of city hall is the Oahu civil service commission, has gone overboard in stretching proper civil service procedures and conduct. The statement on the case was issued jointly by Prison Warden Joe Harper and Police Chief Dan Liu. IT SAID THE deadly punch, a mixture of poisonous cleaning fluid and fruit punch, was smuggled into the prison laundry roomi where convicts went Saturday nisht to draw clean clothes. It was there the punch was served. The two guards who havei been suspended were the ones who' were on duty in the laundry room area.

From the laundry room, the men went into a dimly-lit theater room.1, That, Warden Harper explained, is the chief reason the drinking hadn't been noticed.
