John River in Maine which the House had previously voted against. House members also passed and sent to the Senate a compromise $6.2 billion appropriation for the Agriculture Department and farm price support operations in the 12 months that began July 1. This was the last of the "regular" appropriations for government agencies to come before congress this year. It was a compromise version of a bill previously passed by House and Senate but left hanging in a con-f committee for weeks. It was trotted out at the last minute yesterday and rammed through the House without benefit of even a printed report.

House action sent it to the Senate for another routine endorsement. The Senate meanwhile was approving the last so-called supplemental money bill of the session, a $4.8 billion measure loaded with funds to crank up an array of President Johnson's "Great Society" programs previously enacted by the 89th Congress. When all this was done, several things remained to be dispatched before the weary 89th could conclude its first session and let its members go home. The Senate still had to act on a House-passed pay raise for Federal workers, and the House had to accept Senate amendments. The House had to consider Senate additions to the supplemental money bill, including such controversial items as the initial appropriation for Johnson's rent subsidy plan, which the Senate approved after House objections.

A final agreement had to be reached on sugar. Ml Li i i iiiiniTT mtm miw niMfci iim i iimiiIi Imiiiwi Tf In mi 1 1 now he is losing the hearing in his right ear. "His eyesight, too, has started to fade in recent months. And he has difficulty reading. He just recovered from a bad cold." The older Katsuki was able, however, to dictate his life story this summer to a Japanese language newspaper.

In the series of articles, he told how he left his native Kanazawa, Japan in the 1880s to study in San Francisco. And he described his arrival here during the plague siege of 1900. He still has a faded letter from the then president of the San Francisco Board of Health "recommending and accrediting" him as an observer of the plague area. With it is a card decorated with a large red cross which allowed him to pass through the plague area. "I don't think he would have come here but for the plauge," his son added, "but he's stayed ever since.

And he practiceo1 here until his retirment in 1933." Katsuki had sat quietly while his son talked. But suddenly he leaned forward. "Do you remember when Jack London came here?" he asked. "He was a good friend of mine and a very interesting man. I remember when they had a reception for him at the Japanese Consulate." By ERIC CAVALIERO Dr.

Ichitaro Katsuki sat in a rocking chair at his home here last night and looked back on his long life. "I have no friends now," said the longtime Honolulu resident, who will be 100 years old tomorrow. "All my old cronies are dead. then I don't have any enemiesthey're all dead, too." Katsuki, who is the father of three doctors, was asked how it feels to approach his 100th birthday. "I've had a hard time," he said, "but I finally made it." Around him, in the living room of his home at 1326 Keeaumoku were cards and congratulatory letters from friends here and on the Mainland.

"My father is a link between two eras," said one of his sons, Dr. Sanford Katsuki. "He was born just a few months after the American Civil War ended. "And he can remember when his father, a police magistrate in Japan, used to wear a Samurai sword. "He was very active until quite recently a he thought nothing of walking two or three miles to Waiki-ki," he added.

The two plans are for the area between Poni Moi Road and the Lighthouse. "We have noted some substantial differences of opinion on the Diamond Head development plan," Tangen wrote. "Therefore we urgently request that further studies be made by Mr.

Warnecke and more consultation with the general public be had before any final decision is arrived at. "It is our feeling this project is of such importance to all the people of Hawaii that the investment of additional time is proper. "We shall have our specific views formulated and will appreciate the opportunity of making a presentation to your committee." State Planning Coordinator Alfred Preis, a member of the committee, suggested that all plans be discussed only in relationship to the Warnecke plan. "I think we should work with one plan only," he said." We should discuss the consultant's plan point by point and amend it point by point if amendments are required. This would give us the opportunity to incorporate other ideas, too.

Many leaders of the drives had harsh words for a beat-the-draft campaign being waged by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a Chicago based organization that claims it has 10,000 persons in its "orbit."

Vietnamese government Ad our WASHINGTON (UPD Congress rolled today toward final adjournment, probably by the weekend. In a series of votes, the House and Senate yesterday cleared away major remaining roadblocks, including final multi-billion-dollar appropriations bills to keep the government running. The Senate passed its version of a House-approved bill slicing up world shares in the U.S. sugar market, and the measure went to a House-Senate conference for compromise. The House and then the Senate shortly thereafter approved President Johnson's $100 million plan to put 6,000 specially-trained teachers in primary and secondary schools in poverty areas.

This had been written by the Senate into a House-passed college aid bill. The final compromise version was approved by the House over objection of Republicans who said the teacher corps plan should be considered next year separately and at length. Final Senate action on the compromise college aid bill followed quickly and without controversy. The House passed finally and sent to the White House a $2 billion Rivers and Har- Johnson Continued from Page 1 for his Texas ranch to continue his recuperation. Johnson hopes to leave the hospital today, said Press Secretary Bill D.

Moyers, and "I expect he probably will." But Moyers told newsmen that no definite time would be set until today. The President was given an intensive medical examination Tuesday night by some of the doctors who performed the operation Dr. George A. Hallenbeck, the Mayo Clinic surgeon who removed the gall bladder; Dr. James C.

Cain, also of Mayo, the President's personal physician, and Vice Adm. George Burkley, the White House physician. Moyers said they found "everything is in very good order." An electrocardiogram showed the President's heart was "perfect." In addition, Moyers said, Johnson's blood pressure was "better than that of any of the doctors present, including the youngest." Dr. Cain told reporters that all the doctors were ''very pleased with the way he is getting along and you may say the prognosis is excellent." He drew a smile from Johnson when he called him "really a model patient." Once back to work af the White House, Johnson will have to operate on what Moyers called "a reduced and moderate schedule, reasonable and consistent with the needs of his recuperation."

Smith's letter was relayed to Rhodesia House in London for delivery to Wilson after a three hour meeting of the Cabinet here.

Smith told waiting newsmen that the vital decision in principal was reached but refused to disclose details of his letter until it had reached Wilson. "Grant us our independence and put us on trust to observe and abide by the principles of the 1961 constitution," Smith told Wilson. He said if Rhodesia broke its pledge to observe the terms of the constitution, then Britain would be free "to take whatever step it thought fit." Wilson Continued from Page 1 the drama of the crisis after Smith warned Rhodesia would unilaterally declare independence unless Britain immediately granted it freedom under terms assuring continued rule by the white minority. In his message to Wilson, Premier Smith demanded immediate independence under the terms of the self-governing African colony's 1961 constitution. Alan F.

Committeeman George Walters charged that recent meetings of the group have been "erratic" and asked that alternate agendas be prepared in the future. He said this would give the committee something to discuss if material was not available on the other subject.

Houghtailing and Brennan could not muster enough support for a discussion of the various proposals in the Warnecke and Brennan plans and the meeting was adjourned. Houghtailing and Brennan said they had hoped the committee would see enough merit in the Brennan plan to request the City to extend the Warnecke contract so the consulting firm could study the feasibility of its provisions and possibly incorporate them in the Warnecke plan. Other members of the committee, however, did not wish to consider any plan until all- points of the Warnecke plan were evaluated. Several members said after the meeting theys felt presentation of the Brennan plan less than a week after the Warnecke plan was made public was out of order. said.

"He was sleeping in his car at night." Mrs. Centeio, who has four children, said Thomas joined the Army after graduation from Kailua High. Since being discharged he has worked at a stock brokerage firm in New York City and with a shipping company on Midway Island. She described her son as "very good looking" and said he made high grades in school. "Tom writes a lot, novels and things," she said.

"He has written short stories, too. That's how he picked up money when he lived on the Mainland. He sold them to Saturday Evening Post and other magazines." Police found Rogers locked car abandoned on the Pali Lookout Tuesday afternoon. A search was launched at 9 p.m. Tuesday and continued far into the night.

It was resumed at dawn yesterday by three groups-Fire Department Rescue 2, Windward Volunteer Rescue Squad and the Civil Air Patrol. About 20 men took part. They trated on three areas: below the Pali Lookout, above the lookout by the cliffs and along the Tantalus Trail leading to the lookout. No trace of him was found. Several of Rogers' friends went up in the KHVH helicopter to scan the thick underbrush from above.

Toner became administrator of the hospital on April 27, 1964, in a move he described as "a new way of life for me and my family." He had spent the previous several years searching for a job after he was fired, in 1959, from his $12,000 a year position as administrator of Maluhia Hospital on Oahu.

A week ago the Maui Board of Supervisors praised Toner's work as head of the Molokai General Hospital, passing a resolution commending his "great administrative ability" and noting that he reduced the government subsidy necessary for operation of the hospital.

Campus groups, veterans organizations, civic clubs, and government officials rushed to counter the effect of last weekend's coast-to-coast round of anti-Viet Nam war demonstrations. "Mail Call Viet Nam," a basement headquartered volunteer group in Bryn MawT, said it had received more than 11,000 Christmas cards and letters for servicemen in Viet Nam. A Covina, woman collected more than 1,700 signatures on a 42-foot long letter pledging "support of and confidence in the U.S.

No matter what the cameras recorded, the Ikeya-Seki proved much less spectacular than the scientists has anticipated.

Bader said that estimates had placed the length of the comet's tail at about six-million miles. "They had expected it to grow much longer as it rounded the sun," he said. "But our failure to sight it indicates that it failed to stretch out." Prof. George Van Bies-broeck of the University of Arizona Lunar and Plane-trry Observatory said the comet was not sighted from the 39.000-foot-high aircraft because the tail was much shorter than had been anticipated. "We had been led to expect something on the order of the 1882 comet," said the 80-year-old, Dutch-born as-trometrist.

"It was a disappointment." In the future, he said, he expects to return to comet observation from the ground. Noting that the comet had been visible faintly from the airport IV2 hours before take-off, he added: "Maybe I should have climbed a mountain instead.

Watumull, formerly of the Margaret Sanger International Planned Parenthood Foundation, spoke on "Alternatives to voluntary Planning." "The control of the population of our nation and the entire world is up to the individual parents, for each person must do his part to control the population on a voluntary basis," she told the audience.

If the voluntary program should fail, she said, the government could take action to bring about control of the population by removing tax exemptions on more than two children per family; by taxing parents with more than two children; by forced sterilization; by allowing only certain couples who meet set standards to have children; by encouraging homosexual life among certain people and by migrating numbers of people to the empty land areas of the nation. Other speakers on the program were Dr. Takeo Yaza-ki, professor of sociology at Japan's Keio University, and Dr. George Goto, obstetrician, gynecologist and chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee of Planned Parenthood of Hawaii.

Rogers 23, in all-day search of the Pali yesterday. They will resume the hunt this morning, but on a less intensive scale. Rogers, a Kailua High School graduate, has been missing since Friday when he told friends he was going up to Rogers the Pali to mull over employment problems. His mother, Mrs. Pancratia Rogers Centeio, said yesterday that Thomas knew the Pali area from past hiking experiences and is a good climber.

She said she last saw him on Thursday morning when he dropped by her home at 864 Kainui Drive in Kailua. "He washed his car and cleaned it all up," Mrs. Centeio said. "He told me he was going up hiking at the Pali. "He said he wanted to think.

He wanted to get away by himself." Mrs. Centeio said Thomas was depressed about los-ter his job with Gaspro after only several weeks with the company. She said he was laid off at the beginning of last week.

He said the population doubles in the U.S. every 46 years, in India every 30 years and in Mexico every 20 years. By the end of the 19th century the population of the world was one billion peo-ple.

The hospital's board of trustees will meet to pick a replacement, according to Richard Widdifield, vice-president of the board.
