A-4 Saturday, August 24, 1974 HONOLULU ADVERTISER rk Barlow, commission staff confer Public earing on Fasi fund? Ynsuki Arakaki explained yesterday. First, he said, a closed pre-hoaring conference between the commission staff and Fasi advisers must be held. Both sides will attempt to narrow down the issues and come up with a format for the actual hearing, which would be public. Arakaki insisted the entire process is aimed at obtaining compliance with activities of the Fasi campaign will not be made public at least for a while. THE RECORDS include the results of a separate year-and-a-half investigation by Deputy State Attorney General Pat Ja-ress.

Jaress told the commission Thursday night the Attorney General would have no objection if the to continue in Senate By DOUGLAS BOSH ELL Advertiser Government Writer The battle for political dominance in the State Senate has hardly started but it is already apparent that the best the Republicans can reasonably hope for is to control more than one-third of the vote. Democrats have dominated the Senate for the past four years with 17 seats while Republicans have held only eight. And while the elections this year may produce up to nine new faces in the upper house, the partisan balance is not expected to change, appreciably. The best guess among political observers is that the Republicans will emerge from the November General Elections with from seven to nine seats. Nine would deprive the Democrats of the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto fro the Governor's office.

It is also the number needed to block Senate approval of bond appropriations for capital improvement projects. The GOP is expected to retain one Neighbor Island Senate seat with the reelection of Sen. Richard Henderson, of the Big Island, but the party is not expected to make any inroads in Senate battles on Maui and Kauai. the law, and not to "get" any candidate. "We don't want to persecute," he said, "we want to get compliance with the law.

The commission does not want to be used by any one candidate against another." In a related matter, it appeared yesterday that the voluminous files in the commission's possession concerning the financial Jul III 'ill behind the news the candidates speak Honolulu's zoning law "needs to be given a social conscience," says City Council candidate Marilyn Bornhorst. Mrs. Bornhorst, a Democrat running in the 7th Council Dist. (Manoa-Makiki), praised some, developers who are voluntarily working with Wai-kiki tenants soon to be displaced by construction. But.

she added: "The Comprehensive Zoning Code should require that new development pay its share of relocating evicted tenants, building parks and upgrading public facilities." The State Legislature should act to prohibit sales of housing units to for exclusively to foreign nationals, says House candidate Neil Abercrom-bie. "If Tokai (the Japanese firm which sought to sell a condominium to Japanese citizens only) gets away with this, will Swiss money, German money, Arab money come in and do the same thing," asked Abercrombie. Democratic candidate in the 13th Dist. (Manoa-Makiki). "Much of the money involved funnels out of Hawaii.

We are used, our dwindling land is used, our economic destiny is in other hands." Marijuana, "1974's prohibition," should be legalized in Hawaii, says 5th Dist. (W. Honolulu) Senate candidate William E. Woods. Woods, a Democrat, said legalization would allow the State to channel money and human resources into more pressing social needs.

"The thousands of persons who have been arrested and hassled, the millions of dollarsspent in police activity, jails, prisons, court personnel and other court costs (related to marijuana prosecutions) are appalling," said Woods. Queen's nurses choose union The Hawaii Nurses Association has won the right to represent registered, nurses at the Queen's Medical Center in collective bargaining. In an election Thursday, 100 registered nurses voted for representation by the association and 66 voted for no union. By JERRY BURRIS Advertiser Politics Writer The State's Campaign Spending Commission is headed toward a possible open hearing on the campaign financing activities of Mayor Frank F. Fasi's campaign organization.

Fasi's attorney, A. William Barlow, met informally with staff members of the commission yesterday. He said later that the Fasi campaign will file Monday or Tuesday for a hearing on the commission's preliminary order concerning Fasi's $365,000 donation of campaign funds to the City. The Commission ruled preliminarily that the Fasi campaign has violated election law, that the transfer was a political expenditure and that Fasi should reveal the names of those who contributed toward the $365,000. BARLOW SAID that with the petition for a hearing, the Fasi campaign will include any information it has concerning pre-1974 campaign contributions.

All of the $365,000 was collected before 1974, when the new election law went into effect, and Fasi contends he does not have to reveal names because a legal requirement to do so constitutes an "ex post facto" law. The spending commission and the State Attorney General say the law requires disclosure back to the last election for Governor. Although Barlow said the Fasi campaign would turn over what records it has, it's not clear what they will reveal. Fasi and others in his campaign have made it clear they have records only for a two-and-a-half month period in 1972, between the time Fasi announced for Mayor and was elected. Other records are non-existent, they say.

EVEN THOUGH the Fasi campaign will ask for a hearing, it is not certain that one will be held, commission chairman ClQiffied flds BUY-SELL- REflT To place a Ulant fid dial 536-0061 1 1 0 1 4, jn.VftuTr,-'- if 3 4 On Oahu, Republicans have an opportunity to pick up one seat in the Windward district, but they would have the formidable task of toppling veteran Democrat John J. Hulten. Five Republicans including incumbents D. g. Anderson and George H.

Mills three Windward seats available. The GOP also is sending one of its top vote-getters into the Senate race, City Councilwoman Mary George, in an effort to take the seat held by Hulten. Two others in the race for GOP nominations are Diana Hansen and Robin Ventura. In Oahu's 6th District (Manoa-Waikiki), Republicans have held three of the four seats for the past four years and appear to have little hope of increasing their strength in the area. The probability is that they will lose at least one and possibly two seats in a district where a strong Democratic team can win.

Manoa-Waikiki now is represented by Democrat Mason Altiery and Republicans Eureka B. Forbes, Wadsworth Yee and Percy Mirikitani. The three Republicans have been joined by State Rep. John Leopold to form a ticket. Pitted against these four are six Democrats, including the incumbent, Sen.

Altiery. The other five include at least three formidable Democrats capable of winning in Manoa. They are State Reps. Jean King and Anson Chong, former State Sen. Vincent Yano, Audrey Fox Anderson and Chris P.

Zivalich. At least two Democrats, and possibly three, could be expected to emerge as winners in November. In the 7th District (Palolo-Hawaii Kai), Republicans have fielded a team of four for the four seats available, while the Democrats are running with a short ticket of three. Incumbents in the district are Republicans Frederick W. Rohlfing and Tennyson Lum and Democrats Kenneth F.

Brown and Donald S. Nishimura. Brown has dropped out of the race, leaving Nishimura to team up with State Rep. Dennis O'Connor and David H. C.

Lee. Poised against the three Democrats are State Rep. Patricia Saiki, Rohlfing, Lum and Wayne Thiessen. Mrs. Saiki, Rohlfing and O'Connor are considered certain to win and the fourth seat is apparently up for grabs between Lum and Nishimura.

The Republican problem then is to win a new seat in Windward Oahu, try to void losing one or two seats in Manoa and attempt to break even or win a new seat in East Honolulu. Judge rules in board challenge -t Commission releases that information, which includes bank records and Grand Jury transcripts. However, the commission turned the offer down and Jaress said yesterday the AG's office weuld abide by their wishes. Part or all of the information could become public during the hearing on the commission's preliminary order when and if it is held, Jaress noted. i TUB i.

Both told the court that although the original signed documents creating the voting trust could not be located, Gadient and Alexander had been properly notified of the trust. Plaintiff attorney John Chanin told the judge that the voting trust was "never consummated" and that it was, in effect "a secret trust." THC ATTORNEY Jack Halpin said, "I think it's quite obvious that the parties did execute an agreement," and said that to deny it was "taking advantage of the fact that we didn't do our housekeeping." Attorney Chanin said later he did not know what further action his clients might take. Alexander said earlier during a recess that "win, lose or draw" the two planned to carry forward their claim.

They also wanted an injunction nullifying all board actions since the election of its members on July 30. Alexander and Gadient hold the largest single block of stock in the corporation.
