(R) 71,524 71,524 49,052 49,052 Hilo physician until his death a few years ago. THE MAYOR-ELECT is the youngest of four children.

His sisters are Mrs. Alice Kjus of California and Mrs. Edith Harano of Honolulu. His older brother is Dr. James Matayoshi, former chief of staff at Hilo Hospital and current president of the Hawaii Medical Society.

Matayoshi has four children, including three sons in college and a daughter, Kathryn, a high school senior. Two sons, Jerold and Ronald, attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the youngest, Eric, is a freshman at Northwestern University. All four are highly regarded tennis players. Jerold and Ronald play on the Manoa varsity team. His wife, Mary, is a former school teacher who is an administrator with the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

She is the UHH director of the College of Continuing Education and Community Service here. She was a one-time deputy director of the University of Hawaii Peace Corps Training Center here in the late 1960s. He declined to discuss his cabinet appointments, reports that a new planning director would be named or who he might choose. HOWEVER, HE confirmed he will ask for everyone's resignation when he takes office and proceed from there. Matayoshi said his initial policy shifts will be in recreation and road maintenance.

In the former, he plans to shift from oceanfront property purchases to neighborhood park and community center development. In the latter, he will provide greater emphasis to roadway maintenance. He promised to "be more aggressive" in dealing with the County Council than interim Mayor Bruce McCall has been but said he doesn't anticipate any of the power struggles that have been predicted. Matayoshi is the son of pioneer immigrant doctor Zenko Matayoshi who came here in 1914 from Japan where he received his medical training. The senior Matayoshi, a native of Okinawa, was a highly regarded ran a clean campaign." The two men met briefly shortly after 11 p.m.

Tuesday when chong and one of his campaign leaders visited Matayoshi's headquarters that was overflowing with victory celebrants. Chong and Matayoshi shook hands and exchanged brief greetings. Chong shook several more hands, posed with Matayoshi for photographs and exited. IN THE INTERVIEW, an obviously tired Matayoshi said he believes that part of the closeness of the race may have stemmed from the property tax question on which Chong had hammered throughout the more than five-month campaign. The fact that three other counties in Hawaii reduced their tax rates just prior to the election may have helped gain support for Chong's position, Matayoshi said.

Part of th heavy favorite role he was given may have been more from the reporters and political observers than from him and his workers, the mayor-elect claimed. By HUGH CLARK Advertiser Big Island Bursa HILO Mayor-elect Herbert Matayoshi gave mixed reviews to the narrow victory that placed him in the Big Island's top job Tuesday night. The mayor-elect gave reporters an interview yesterday afternoon as he began preparing to advance into the post being held on an interim basis by Mayor Bruce McCall until noon Dec. 2. Matayoshi, who must make definitive plans rapidly for running the County, seemed relieved Tuesday night.

'Well," he sighed, "we squeezed by." HOWEVER, THE 12-year veteran councilman said he was "quite pleased" with the win over Republican State Rep. Wing Kong Chong who had called for a change ill County government and lower taxes in his hard drive for the office. Matayoshi called it a good race and said he had enjoyed the at-times heated contest "all the way. WinMe Mink, Patsy T.

Even in the population centers of Lihue and Kapaa, Ching led Malapit by only 170 votes. Ching picked up a few more votes on the north shore, giving him a 233-vote lead. But the west side proved to be Malapit's strength, as had been expected. Even in Ching's home precinct of Kalaheo, he could garner only a three-vote lead over Malapit. In Malapit's home precinct of Koloa, the challenger got the largest edge 188 votes.

And the largely-Filipino plantation communities did the rest, giving Malapit small, but important leads: 141 in Eleele; 8 in Kaumakani; 73 in Kekaha. To many, this was somewhat of a shock, since these are strong ILWU areas, and the ILWU, endorsed Ching. POLITICAL OBSERVERS noted, cially that of a fellow Republican, some voters thought. And if he didn't know, it showed he did not have the control he should have had over his appointees, others thought. "In my campaign, I didn't seek to grasp these issues and make hay," Malapit told The Advertiser on election night.

BUT IN ONE advertisement, six days before the General, he did refer to the Leadership Homes case in passing. On election night, Malapit said he feels these "issues that arose that I had nothing to do with" helped slip him by the mayor in the voting and gave him the" election. As for the future, Malapit said it will be a few days before he's ready to talk about his proposed administration. He told The Advertiser before the election that, if elected, he however, that the ILWU did not endorse a mayoral candidate in th Primary and that Malapit's grass-roots efforts probably got these voters committed before the ILWU made its committment in the race. Still, even Malapit admits it was not his campaign alone that defeated the mayor.

At least two matters came up during the campaign that tripped the mayor's reelection drive, never giving it a chance to peak, as it should have. First were a series of reports leaked to the media by representatives of two activist groups that the groups said showed Ching was in league with the Leadership Homes attempt to rezone some 1,000 acres of agricltural land in Mahaulepu to urban. While no wrongd part was proven th By JAN TenBRUGGENCATE Advertiser Kauai Bureau jLIHUE Eduardo E. Malapit will become the first Filipino mayor in the history of the State of Hawaii on Jan. 2.

In getting there, he probably got the strongest support from one eth-nie block that any Kauai politician ever has and won by one of the smallest margins 208 votes. CMalapit, at 41 Kauai's youngest County executive in two decades, waged a massive traditional grassroots campaign that overcame the fact that incumbent Francis Ching had virtually all the major endorsements, while Malapit had virtually no formal establishment support. THE GRASS ROOTS effort brought him close to the incumbent in-areas where there are small ably more than anything else hurt Ching's credibility with a large number of voters. THE INCUMBENT MIGHT still have squeaked by, but the timing of a second blow probably was crucial and fatal to the Ching camp's efforts. A letter written by Ching's publi-cinformation officer attackingfellow Republican Edward Medeiros seeking a State Senate seat was published last week, just eight days before the election.

The letter brought screams from the Medeiros camp. Ching apparently knew nothing about it and the information officer, Patricia Naea, said it was her personal opinion, but it hurt Ching. It hurt eithr way. If Ching did he had no business another race espe planned to keep several Ching appointees that he said are "very capable men." Both Malapit and Ching said their telephone discussion Tuesday night after the Malapit win was a fiendly one, just as the campaign was a clean one. "I told Mayor Ching and I still retain respect and friendship for him and his lovely wife," Malapit said.

CHING HAS OFFERED "whatever assistance" he can give to make the transition in administrations, both men said. He was stoic about theclose race. "Somebody had to win and somebody had to lose. I will help in any way I can to keep this island moving ahead," Ching said. Asked about the future, Ching said he wants to take it easy for a while..
