A-g Wednesday, January 11, 1S78 HONOLULU ADVERTISER Oahu girl victim of SF gang fight Prisonware i Tony Olim, Hawaii State Prison supervisor, looks over an assortment of contraband confiscated last week in a shakedown at the prison. Besides knives, saws and a hypodermic needle, a revolver and a quantity of "white powder," possibly a drug, surfaced during the search. Kit Louie's body was found in January last year, but remained unidentified for months. Yesterday, Levine said warrants went out for Samson Tso and Dard Wei Chen for alleged complicity in the slaying. Both are already serving terms in California prisons on other convictions.

Last month, Michael Louie pleaded guilty to reduced charges of voluntary manslaughter and being illegally armed. His arrest is credited as tne first clear result of a special squad of 20 officers assigned to investigate gang crime in the Chinese community. The squad was formed in response to the "Chinatown Massacre" of five persons in a Chinese restaurant by masked gunmen on Sept. 4. Police say the shooting spree could have been mounted as an attack by the Joe Boys against the Wah Ching.

Gang leader Louie was in the restaurant with associates at the time. None of the dead or the 11 injured was connected to a gang. No arrests have been made. Hers was the second death with which Michael Loui was connected. He and several other young Chinese men were convicted in 1974 of abducting, torturing and killing a 15-year-old boy with ties to the Joe Boys group.

Louie served time as a juvenile offender for that offense. SAN FRANCISCO Bench warrants were issued yesterday for the arrest of two alleged accomplices of a Chinese youth gang leader in the death of his one-time girl friend, an 18-year-old Honolulu high school graduate. If police records and the suspicions of her admitted killer are correct, Honolulu teen-ager Kit Mun Louie was killed in August 1976 because she made the mistake of associating with not one. but two of San Francisco's tough Chinatown youth gangs. Kit Louie was born in Hong Kong and moved with her parents to Honolulu, where she was graduated from McKinley High School in 1976.

She reportedly left her family and came alone to San Francisco where she settled in Chinatown and made friends with Wah Ching Gang members Michael Louie (no relation). 21. the leader of the Wah Ching Gang, placed a gun to 18-year-old Kit Louie's head she had been his girl friend because he believed she had been moving in circles close to the rival Joe Boys Gang. Louie told police he only intended to scare her. Instead, the pistol went off, according to Assistant District Attorney Hugh Levine, quoting from Louie's confession.

With the help of friends, Louie said, he rolled the body in a blanket, drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and dumped it into the Pacific Ocean at Stinson Beach 31? 1 J.

Reischauer paid tribute to Dr. Takako Tanimo-to, president of Kansai University, who was at the press conference. He said it was the principles of "deep levels of understanding and communication" she put forward in founding the university to which he was referring.

In a statement released at the conference. Tanimoto said she had established the first campus of a Japanese University outside of Japan. "I believe that the state of Hawaii is the ideal focal point for a worldwide fusion of Eastern and Western cultures and friendly racial intermin gling," she said. University officials said that classes would begin here in April, allowing one credit to students who would spend a semester here and then return to Osaka. About 100 Japanese students will attend the two-day conference in July, part of which will be open to the public.

In addition to Reischauer, another speaker at the meeting will be Professor Robert Scalapino, a political scientist from the University of California. In addition to helping Kansai University plan the summer seminar, Reischauer is also here to attend the current Harvard East Asia economic conference Friday and Saturday.

Reischauer yesterday said here it is vitally important to world peace that the Japanese people become familiar with English and other Indo-European languages. The Harvard professor and former ambassador to Japan spoke at a press conference at the Sheraton-Waikiki Hotel, sponsored by the Kansai University of Foreign Studies, Hawaii Campus (Kensai Gaidai Hawaii Ko). Reischauer is here partially to help the Osaka-based university organize a special international conference in Honolulu in July. "We have our problems in learning Japanese," Reischauer said. "But the Japanese are probably going to have to do much more in learning our languages "1 think Japan's greatest single problem today is to gain understanding between (itself) and the outside world." That can be done, he continued, "only when there is a much higher and broader level of language capacity on the part of the Japanese people as a whole." Reischauer said the Japanese are very good at writing and reading about what the rest of the world has to say about them.

"But that's not a dialogue," he said, adding that it is the exchange of ideas which is important to international understanding. Reischauer admitted that he places a higher importance on the need for improved communication than do many other American foreign policy experts. "We have a crisis right now in Japanese-American relations," Reischauer said. "It's a very serious crisis of international trade. "You may say that's an economic problem.

But it isn't an economic problem, basically. It just comes in that guise. "The swamping of certain fields of American manufacture by Japanese goods causes a reverse action on the part of (many) Americans. Then there's a reverse action on the part of the Japanese of 'indignation' at the steps (trade restrictions) the Americans take. "At this point it gets beyond an economic problem it becomes a problem of understanding," Reischauer said.

"Malaekahana is one of the most beautiful beach areas in the islands, and perpetual ownership by the state will insure public access always."
