MOST OF Vidinha's personal wealth was acquired through buying and selling land.

Much of his land holdings, however, have been sold off or are under agreements of sale. When corruption was alleged in his Administration in 1970 Vidinha ordered a probe. As a result, he asked for the resignations of two County employes, but Vidinha was not himself charged with any incidents of corruption. A Vidinha predecessor as Kauai County chairman, Anthony C. Baptiste also ran afoul of the income tax laws and spent 10 months in Oahu Prison for failing to file a return.

The talks are expected to last several days. Even as Kissinger met with North Vietnamese negotiators Le Due Tho and Xuan Thuy, the Viet Cong issued a statement denouncing President Nixon and South Vietnamese President Nuyen Van Thieu.

The location of Kissinger's talks was supposed to be secret, but newsmen traced the negotiators to a villa in Gif-sur-Yvette, a Paris suburb near Versailles. THE TALKS began about 10 a.m. and lasted until 4 p.m. At the close of the session, members of each party could be seen shaking hands, but individuals could not be identified by newsmen. As he left the villa, Kissinger was asked how the talks had gone He smiled and waved but said nothing.

Tho smiled and waved in response to the same question when he left a few minutes after Kissinger. Following the secret talks, Kissinger met Phang Van Lam, South Vietnamese ambassador to the peace talks, a South Vietnamese spokesman said. The spokesman did not reveal how long the two men met.

"It's chaotic," said a private school official who has watched the HEP in action. If you remember the schoolroom as a place where Teacher stood in front of the class with blackboards at her back, then you will not recognize the average 3-on-2 HEP classroom. There are no rows of desks. There aren't even blackboards (they are often the chalk is not white but yellow.

HERE IS THIS BIG ROOM where often a wall has been removed and two or more class- rooms are made into one. First thing in the morning, the pupils gather around a teacher and she discusses the day's work, then they go off and start their round of activities. You see groups here and there.

One pupil may be working at an electric typewriter. Another is flicking word cards, called stacks. His companion is reading the words or letters on each card. Some pupils are reading by themselves, sitting at desks, or lying on the floor. Others are writing letters or copying from guide books.

The draft constitution also provides for indirect election, longer terms, and no restrictions on reelection of the chief executive. Under the proposed constitution, parliament would not be able to stage any serious opposition against the administration.

There is virtually no doubt that the new basic law will be adopted. All campaigning has been banned except the one conducted by the government's Central Election Management Committee to "enlighten" the people on the new law and encourage their participation in voting. KISSINGER made it clear on his arrival in Paris late Sunday that he would stay as long as necessary hi the expectation the talks could bring the war to a rapid end. He told newsmen at Orly Airport: "My instructions are to stay for as long as it is useful if our North Vietnamese interlocutors come here in the same spirit of understanding and flexibility which characterized our meetings in October, a rapid settlement of the war is probable."
