tax hike gets go-ahead over Fasi's opposition A-4 Saturday. Mar. 13. 191 HONOLULU ADVERTISER 5-vear-old saved from drowning Quick action yesterday-saved a 5-year-old boy who was found lying unconscious in eight feet of water at an Aiea Heights swimming pool. Revived and in satisfactory condition last night at Children's Hospital was Michael Joseph, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Alexius Joseph of 98-814 Olena St. He and his mother were visiting" neighbors. Navy Lt. and Mrs.

John B. McKeon of 98-809 Olena when children playing in the pool discovered the boy missing. McKEOX checked and saw the boy on the bottom of the pool. He dived in. brought the child to the pool-side and started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Aiea firemen arrived minutes after the 4:39 p.m. alarm to find the child had revived and was crying. They relieved McKeon and used a resuscitator until an ambulance arrived. did a good job and the boy was all right when arrived." said Capt. Edward Kaida of the Aiea Fire Station.

"In fact, the boy was crying when he left in the ambulance with his amends the Charter of the City and thus violates the State Constitution. "It also abrogates the home rule concept of the Charter with respect to: 1) improvement districts: 2) setting the priorities of the City; 3) providing special privileges in favor of property owners in Waikiki, as opposed to property owners in other improvement districts who have not received exceptionally favorable financial assistance." Replying to questions posed by committee members. Fasi said: "There should be no feelings on the part of the members of the committee that an improvement district in Waikiki cannnt be handled completely and totally by this Administration. As a matter of fact, I would say flatly that this Administration the City and County of Honolulu with the necessary amounts of money could handle the job much better than the State Government." "You are skirting the main issue, of whether or not to have an occupancy tax I say to you: take these bills, throw them out the window and tackle the problem head-on let the people who come to Hawaii pav the bill." "If you pass this bill and you leave the power in my hands, as it is now vested in me. by my oath of office I could not in good conscience spend one cent of the City's money for this kind of an improvement the most regressive tax system that could be found anywhere in the United States.

That is to say, Hawaii probably stands first in the nation for placing the largest proportion of its tax burden on those who are least able to pay." FASI AGAIN SUGGESTED paying for Waikiki improvements by levying a tax on hotel rooms. "I fully agree that Waikiki needs capital improvements and should have them about $90 million worth." he said. "How then to raise the money? Impose a tax on hotel rooms a tax of. say. day.

Such a tax will not come out of the pockets of the hotel operators, it will come out of the pockets of the tourists. "A tax of $2 a day. on the basis of two persons to a room, would add only SI a day to the visitor's cost of his stay in Hawaii. For the average visit of 10 davs. that would be 810." FASI ALSO REPEATED his proposal to let the counties have more tax revenues.

"The counties, not the State, have responsibility for area planning, zoning and improvement districts." he said.

Islander's son lias near fatal attack DETROIT (UPI Rodney Henrickson, 17, of Honolulu, hospitalized for the past seven weeks with a chronic kidney disorder, was reported in critical condition last night following cardiac arrest earlier in the day. But his physician.

Dr. Thomas Batchelor, said the attack did not rule out the possibility the boy would eventually undergo a kidney transplant. "If he gets over this critical period," Batchelor said, 'he will be transfered and considered for transplant." Henrickson, suffering from a chronic kidney malfunction known as glomeru-lonephatis. was stricken with bacterial pneumonia after being admitted to Grace Hospital. In order to undergo a kidney transplant, he would first have to be transferred to Detroit General Hospital.

A team of Wayne State University physicians will decide whether the operation is feasible. Should they decide the transplant is feasible, then a compatible donor would have to be found. Billy J. Henrickson. the patient's father, has already volunteered to be a donor.

His estranged wife. Florence, who lives in Honolulu with the other five Henrickson children, made the trip to Detroit when she learned of her son's condition. The attack of cardiac arrest yesterday "almost killed the boy." Batchelor said. The doctor said the boy suffered a brief loss of memory after regaining consciousness "but was soon to come around. "It was such a pleasure to see him alive and talking," he said.

One man is reportedly aboard the otherwise-deserted vessel. The Japanese tug Freesia first picked up two sister ships, the Examiner and the Exchange, in New York in January.

It was towing them to a scrap pile in Japan or Taiwan when the Examiner broke loose under pounding by heavy waves about 1.250 miles east north east of here. ONE REPORT said the Freesia left one man on board the Examiner, with a radio, to guide the tug after it brought the Exchange to Honolulu Harbor. The Freesia berthed the Examiner here Saturday and hot-footed it back to retrieve the other vessel. It was expected to reach the area yesterday or today.

(Bob) Berger, president of Western Telestations, and Starr, president of Starr Broadcasting Group, Inc. of New Orleans. Berger told The Advertiser he did not know the exact price because it involved an exchange of Starr stocks, in addition to cash.

Asked if it were between $3 million and $4 million, as previously estimated, Berger said, "Yes, I don't think it would ever exceed that." He would not say how much cash was involved.

$158.95 Good Recorder into a Wonderful Recorder. ADVENT'S new Noise Reduction Unit, Model 100, presenls the famous Dolby System of noise reduction for the first time in a separate stereo component intended for use with any good tape recorder. It uses the "B-Type" circuitry developed by Dolby Laboratories exclusively for home recording and pre-recorded tapes. The basic virtue of the Model 100 is simple: It can reduce the otherwise irreducible tape hiss level of a recorder by ninety percent with no curtailing of frequency range and no distortion. It can yield recordings of full dynamic range and startling clarity from recorders now in just the "reasonably good" category.

It can also open the way to uncom-promised performance at low tape speeds, removing the hiss that especially plagues wide-range recorders at 33A and 1 v6 ips. The Model 100 takes over all of the normal electronic control functions of a recorder. It adds input-mixing capabilities to recorders that lack them, and performs all of its control functions far more precisely than most recorders. It can make the best tape recorder audibly better. 9x12 ROOM SIZE RUGS 100 nylon good color selection.
