i if'i HONOLULU ADVERTISER Thursday, Sept. 23, 1966 B-3 Riding Two on a Morse Pupu Parade Prosperity vs. Inflation Mrs. Robert Maguire's" letter in the Sept. 17 Advertiser pointing out how the high income enjoyed by the people of Hawaii is offset by the extremely high cost of living and high taxes illustrates beautifully the tact that the prosperity in which our Administration takes such pride is nothing more than a highly inflated economy.

I suppose our good liberal friends would say that my heart is not in the right place because I once was a billionaire. True, I once had one thousand million Reich-marks. In 1914, that would have been worth $250,000,000, and there were extremely few Germans who were worth that much. However, when the mark was finally stabilized in 1923, one-million-million marks became one of the new marks, equivalent to $0.25. Hence, my billion became actually worth twenty-iive thousandths of a cent.

In 1923, Germany was a bankrupt nation that had been recently defeated in a tremendous war, and there is little danger of the dollar going the way the mark did then. However, inflation does not, by many means, have to go to such extreme lengths to cause a great deal of suffering, even though it may masquerade for a while as "prosperity." OLIVER H. EMERSON Chinn Ho went to a board of directors meeting the other day which isn't exactly a hot news flash.

On occasions they use these guns, with drastic results. There is a perfect solution and a way to stop all this useless waste. The writer was a cashier on the Mainland By the side of the cashier's cage was a small wall vault. We were instructed to make out deposit slips for the amounts on hand and place them in this vault at intervals of about an hour This vault was similar to the night deposit drops at banks, but could only be opened by the armored pick-up trucks.

As soon as the light fingered gentry learn that there are no great amounts to be gotten from the cash registers, they will become conspicuous by their absence. The writer understands that these vaults are available here GRACE MOHLER New Ideas for a Bus. Slop Your recent story, "City Shops for vStreet Furniture," is most interesting. However, I would like to offer a suggestion to Mr. Hopper on his design ideas for a covered bus stop.

I recommend he include in his design one or several ideas to eliminate litter. Perhaps an overall vacuum system which would pick up the debris, or mechanical arms which would reach for the discards of the thoughtless school children who throw everything on the ground rather than reach for the trash container. Or it could be that a five-minute interval in school to educate the youngsters in how to make their city more beautiful might help. I speak especially of the lovely bus stop by the side of Palolo Stream, where I wait for the St. Louis Heights bus.

Believe the Lions Club built this very roomy shelter for those of us who live on the heights. But now, what a mess of litter.

The appointment of Mr. Gill to be director of the State Office of Economic Opportunity was hardly repudiation.

It is quite possible that Governor Burns fears Tom Gill has not yet learned one most important political lesson-that when two men ride the same horse, one must ride behind. It would be most uncomfortable for any Governor to have a Lieutenant Governor who spent his time building his own campaign to supplant his boss. That's what Mr. Gill seems to have done as head of the OEA. A FORMER GILL SUPPORTER Beating the Communication Lag On Aug.

29, Rep. Spark M. Matsunaga introduced a bill to Congress calling for the air transportation of all classes of mail to and from Hawaii and the West Coast of the U.S. Mainland. If passed, this simple action would mean more to Hawaii than almost anything the Federal government could do.

The serious communication lag we now live with would be almost eliminated, and both education and business would soon truly become a part of the U.S. ethos (something I now find lacking). I'm not sure just how it should be done but I do think our newspapers should give the strongest support to this bill and somehow arouse the populace to insist that Congress pass it now. The effects of a communication (and cultural) lag are both hard to measure and subtle in effect, but they do exist and affect Hawaii. Ask any recently emigrated businessman or teacher for verification.

I shall fervently hope for passage of H.R. 17396 and feel that Rep. Matsunaga should be commended for his action. F. B.

EVANS Professor of Marketing University of Hawaii Appreciation for Tribute to Kui With deep heartfelt and most sincere aloha to all, we wish at this time to thank all Hawaii from the bottom of our hearts for your giant expression of love for our Kui Lee. The gathering of so many people in one spot to pay tribute to one keiki Hawaii, the performance of those who came; the individual donations from all areas and walks of life, and the labors put forth by those who worked at the benefit made it a success! This expression of love for Kui will bring him home sooner than anticipated.

In this 'village' would be 90 N. Americans (60 of these would be U.S.

citizens), 50 S. Americans, 210 Europeans, 85 Africans and 565 Asians. About 300 would be white and the same number would be Christians. The 60 U.S. citizens would receive half the total income of the entire 'village' Success story: Back in 1946 Shigeru Taga got into a new business.

King, New Hampshire's first Democratic governor in 40 years, signed a bill providing for a sweepstakes lottery originally designed to raise $4 million a year for the state's schools.

Last year's net dropped to $2.4 million much less than expected.

Manuel Guerrero Rumor mill: That the Internal ReVenue lads are giving a Waikiki nite spot's tax returns a once-over Thinking out loud: A few of our politicians are being evoked, analysts here believe, as' a way of deterring the Red Guards from upsetting villages and consequently hindering farm output. Similar instructions have gone out to the Red Guards in China's provinces. In a broadcast monitored here this week, for example, Kiangsi Radio advised the youths to calm down. It said: "Circumstances differ in various places, production tasks are heavy, and outsiders do not understand local conditions. Interference by them can easily affect normal production." In rooting out what Lin called "monsters and demons" in the party, China's Communist hierarchy appears to have undergone a significant reorganization within recent weeks.

As it now looks, Ihe standing committee of the party's politburo (CDPS), which effectively rules the country, has been re shuffled. Instead of containing five vice-chairmen, the standing committee seems now to have only one Lin Piao. The four former vice-chairmen were Chief of State Liu Shao-chi, Premier Chou Kn-lai, the aged Marshal Chu Teh and Chen Yun, a Communist veteran who has long been in eclipse. In the opinion of experts here, the elimination of the four vice-chairman posts does not necessarily mean that their holders have been downgraded. Lui Shao-chi has plainly lost ground, but Chou En-lai's position within the party structure is believed to be unchanged.

The abolition of the standing committee multiple chairmanships appears, rather, to have been aimed at elevating Lin Tiao. The present change seems to symbolize what has long been true in China the one-man rule of Mao, now assisted by Lin, his presumptive heir. Or as phrasemakers in Hong Kong put it. "De-Stalinization has given way to re-Stalinization." rTMTt w'e Mron? I I I Save thee sJy Sure of thee jt By STANLEY KARNOW Washington Post Service HONG KONG Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung and his second in command, Marshal Lin Piao, seem to be sustaining serious political setbacks as a result of their efforts to purge alleged bourgeois and revisionist elements from China. As analysts here see it, the militant "Red Guards" striving to wipe out vestiges of the past apparently have, instead, provoked widespread popular antagonism as well as strong resistance within the Communist Party to the Peking regime.

The Red Guard's reign of terror, particularly focused against colleges and universities during the past month, is believed to have sorely discouraged scientific research. More important, the convulsions shaking China have severely disrupted agricultural and industrial production just at a time when Peking is attempting to embark upon its third five-year plan. Peking's concern that the Chinese economy may be upset was clearly reflected in an authoritative "People's Daily" editorial, monitored here, which repeated warnings against excesses of the "cultural revolution," as the current purge is officially called. Referring to the five-year plan, the newspaper urged workers, peasants and others to over-fulfill their tasks. It further stated; "Production must not be interrupted It is not necessary for the Red Guards and revolutionary teachers and students to go to factories and rurual areas to ex- Liberals Face Losses By RICHARD HARWOOD The Washington Post Service living so much in the past, they might get run over by a.horse-and-buggy When Wads Yee ran for the State Senate in '62 he used a picture of himself walking and the slogan, "Man on the Go." Wads notices that one current candidate is using, the walking picture bit and another office seeker the "Man on the Go" slogan.

Says Yee "I just want to remind those change revolutionary experience and interfere with the arrangements there. "The workers and former poor and lower-middle peasants are entirely capable of carrying out well the revolutionary movement in their own units." In the same editorial, the "People's Daily" explained that purges in the countryside could be carried out under the szu ching or "four cleans" movements, which began about two years ago to purify rural Communist Party cadres. From all accounts, the szu ching campaign has achieved little.

Now I am administering the i i Rules Committee by 22 votes, of which 16 were supplied by Republicans. The medicare bill was saved by 45 votes. A switch of 25 votes would have killed it.

The House vote to repeal Section 14 fB) of the Taft-Hartley Act carried by 23 votes, including 19 Republicans. The bitter struggle of the past two years over Federal rent subsidies for the poor was decided in the Administration's favor after a series of cliff-hanging roll calls that turned on a half-dozen votes. The President's minimum wage bill got through the House, unamended, by a five-vote margin. His foreign aid bill survived by only two votes this year. A switch of 17 votes would have eliminated the open housing provision of the 1966 civil rights bill before it went to the Senate, and a switch of three votes would have killed the Administration's highway beauti-fication program.

IN EVERY CASE, the Administration's margin of victory was supplied by the 48 Democratic freshmen who supplanted Republicans in the landslide of 1964. They voted 42 to 6, for example, to pass the open housing section of the civil rights bill. It is these same freshmen who are regarded as most vulnerable in the coming election. At least 36 of the 48 won by majorities of less than 55 per cent two years ago and are thus classified as "marginal" prospect for re-election in November. All this is disturbing to liberals like Boiling and Brademas.

But House whip Hale Boggs (D-La.) is more philosophic. While making no election predictions, he feels that the passage of so many Administration measures over the past two years has, to a large extent, cleared the agenda -and relieved the pressure for new legislation next year. Boiling disagrees; "Everything we've passed, except medicare," he says, "will have to be implemented with appropriations next year. "So far as that goes, we've got problems right now. Why haven't the poverty bill and the demonstration cities bill been called up? it's not because we don't have the time.

It's because we're looking for the votes." WASHINGTON The managers of the National Democratic Party, by all accounts, contemplate the loss of 25 to 30 House seats in November with an equanimity not universally shared on Capitol Hill. In statistical and historical terms, any-' thing less than a 40-seat loss would represent a victory of sorts for the Democrats in this off-year election. But the congressional liberals fear that the loss of only 25 seats could prove disastrous for the Administration's great society objectives. "If we were to lose 25 to 30 seats," said Rep. Richard Boiling a leader of the Liberal Democratic Study Group; "we would find ourselves in a legislative stalemate.

AH you have to do is look at the votes In this Congress to see where you would be. We never had more than 20 to spare." REP. JOHN BRADEMAS (D-Ind.) was only slightly sanguine. A 25 or 30 seat loss, he said, would imperil any new social legislation and a 40-seat loss would mean "stalemate for two years. Everything would come to a dead halt.

We not only would make no progress but would go backwards in terms of dealing with such problems as urbanization, poverty and civil rights." Boiling was more blunt. Losses of that magnitude, he said, would restore the "conservative coalition" to power in the House. The present House lineup is 294 Democrats, 139 Reublicans and two vacancies. On the surface, the Democrats could easily give up 20, 30 or 40 seats and retain a very healthy majority. But, as Boiling and others pointed out, the party's present top-heavy majority is illusory.

A switch of 25 votes would have defeated virtually all of the major legislative proposals out of the White House during the past two years. From the day the 89th Congress convened, the balance of power between pro-and antirAdministration forces in the House has been far more delicate than the legislative records suggests. THE ADMINISTRATION won the fight to place a liberal majority on tfce House shots myself A month ago, Kui could hardly walk or talk.
