However, Asst U.S. Atty. William J. Eggers III, who prosecuted the cases here, said the three-month term with overnight stays at the jail is something "the U.S. attorney finds distasteful." Now we have the Halawa Babysitting Association," he said.

"It's like no sentence at all." The sentence is not "substantive punishment" to deter others from committing the same crime. Eggers said. In addition, Eggers is peeved that four others convicted in the same cocaine conspiracy case each served at least a year in jail. "There's a concept I confronted the judge with equal sentencing. If everyone is equally guilty, they should all receive sentences commensurate with their violations," Eggers said.

Hartley and Gunther, with the four others, were indicted in Los Angeles. Under plea bargaining, Hartley and Gunther agreed to accept the conspiracy counts if their cases could be transferred to Hawaii. Eggers opposed the move. He argued then and still feels that Federal judges in Hawaii impose less severe sentences than those handed down in other districts. Two Honolulu businessmen will be paying $37 a day for their three-month stay at the Halawa jail, sometimes more affectionately known as the Halawa Hilton.

The two will begin serving time later this month for conspiring to smuggle 30 pounds of cocaine from Peru. The two Michael J. Hartley, owner-manager of Island Pacific Air, and Erik L. Gunther, who raises orchids will spend their nights and weekends in jail. During working hours, they will be participants in a "work release" program and will be free to conduct their business.

Earlier this month, Federal Judge Dick Yin Wong sentenced Hartley to five years in prison and Gunther to three years. But the sentences were suspended, except for three months. As a condition of their probation, they must spend 90 days in the Halawa jail and pay a total of $3,330 each. The $37-a-day payment is construed as a fine, said Brook Hart, attorney for Gunther. He noted that in this way, the defendant is paying for the costs of his confinement.

However, Judge Arthur Fong set a hearing for today to determine if allegations by the three stations KITV, KGMB and KHON justify the issuance of a preliminary injunction against the picketing members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 1260. In the meantime, Fong said, "the court expects both parties to abide by what is the law." Fong said the court "normally doesn't interfere" with collective-bargaining disputes, but he said With or without containers REG.

Earlier in the day, the three stations filed a complaint asking the court to issue an injunction prohibiting pickets from obstructing entrances and exits and harassing or threatening employes and customers. Affidavits attached to the complaint said pickets have thrown eggs at cars leaving and entering KGMB, have deflated tires of cars in front of KHON and "physcially assaulted automobiles driven by KITV salesmen" leaving or entering the station. Alvin Shim, attorney for the IBEW Local 1260, denied those allegations. About 160 off-camera IBEW members have been on strike or locked out of their jobs since Sept.

began returning to work yesterday, ending a 27-day strike against the snack foods concern. A new three-year contract was ratified Sunday, settling several issues. Frito-Lay's 95 employes are represented by ILWU Local 142. Federal mediator Gayle Wineriter assisted in the negotiations. Also, another labor dispute was settled without a strike, Wineriter reported.

The 92 employes of the Bendix Field Engineering Corp. project at Barking Sands on Kauai ratified a new 39-month contract. The employes, members of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1260, had rejected an earlier proposal. METRONOME 'fl TRAVEL SHOP Spotlight Tweezers Battery operated.

The Class of 1977 's showing was a dramatic improvement over performance by the first graduates of the law school, the Class of 1976. Only 35 of the 51 class members who took the test last year passed on the first try, for a pass rate of 68.6 per cent. Over all, 181 people took the test and 148 passed it, for a general pass rate of 81.8 per cent. Last year the general pass rate, which includes graduates of Mainland law schools and experienced lawyers moving to Hawaii, was higher than the local pass rate. This year the figures were reversed.

This has resulted in considerable pride among the administration and faculty of the school, according to Richard Miller, law professor and acting associate dean. "If you take out our class from the total who took the test, that leaves 126 who took it, of which 97 passed for a rate of 77 per cent," he said. Early critics of the four-year-old law school had warned that the curriculum was not preparing students to pass the bar exam. But, according to Miller, there have been no major adjustments in the curriculum that would explain the improvement of the second class. He attributed the poor performance of some members of the first group to the growing pains of the school.

Of the 16 people from the first class who were graduated last year and flunked the exam, 14 took the exam in February and 13 passed. The three remaining graduates repeated the exam in July and two of them passed it this time around. 'Friendly' robbery A 23-year-old Waikiki man was robbed of about $500 yesterday by someone he described to the police as a friend. According to the police, Virgil Summers, of a Kalakaua Avenue address, answered a knock at his door and let the friend into the apartment. Once inside, the robber brandished a handgun and forced Summers to lie on the bed as he tore up a blanket to tie the victim's hands and feet.

The robber then fled with the money, police said. A suspect, another 23-year-old Waikiki man, was arrested a short time later but was released without charges pending further investiga te.
