And certainly Afghanistan hasn't been an inexpensive or successful adventure." Elsewhere in the Far East, Soviets have suffered several political and economic failures, Crowe said. They have been particularly unsuccessful at penetrating Asian markets. "They're not even a player. They want to be, but they just don't produce products that are attractive." The only accomplishment the Russians can claim, he said, is the establishment of "a few forward military outposts," such as in Vietnam, Ethiopia and Aden.

Crowe cited China, however, as "another story entirely" in the Far East, and predicted closer political, economic and cultural ties between China and the U.S., even though the two countries are quite different ideologically. "China may be coming from a different position than we are, but we have a lot of common interests; we're seeing many things eye-to-eye. They need American technology and American education; that's why there are many more American educators in China today than ever before. "And we both need each See Crowe on Page A-4 Pacific Commander-in-Chief commander Adm. William J.

Crowe Jr. met with a group of Advertiser editors and reporters this week to discuss his views of America's political and military challenges around the world. Today's article focuses on America's political relationships in the Pacific. By Thomas Kaser Advertiser Staff Writer Adm. William J.

Crowe Jr. is optimistic about America's future in the Pacific. He cites four main reasons: The U.S., he says, has fully recovered from its Vietnam experience and has better relationships with Pacific and Asian countries today than ever before. China will likely develop even closer ties with the United States and continue to value America's military presence in the Pacific as a deterrent to Moscow. The Soviet Union may be militarily present in the Pacific, but it is politically and economically impotent in the region.

Japan will continue to be a strong ally, gradually assuming more responsibility for its own defense. Crowe, the new commander-in-chief of U.S. forces in the Pacific (CINCPAC) based at Camp H.M. Smith, says he is on the inside: Adm. Crowe sees Hawaii's economy benefitting from a growing U.S.

Yet our political relationships with friends and allies in this region today are as close and as warm as I've ever seen." Meanwhile, the free world need have no fear of the Soviets becoming a power in the Far East, he said. "I hear a great deal around the world about the progress and success of the Soviet Union, but I certainly don't see it in the Far East. The Soviets have a few satellite states in the region North Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan but they're' not all that sound. "If North Korea is the best of the three, then the Soviets are in real trouble, for North Korea is not obeisant to Moscow. It acts independently, and it plays Peking off the Kremlin constantly.

I think Moscow is disgusted with North Korea. (ID By day at Advertiser photo by Crt Vrti CINCPAC William Crowe Jr. greets Rep. Charles Rangel, head of a delegation of eight congressmen that arrived at Hickam AFB yesterday on the first leg of an 18-day "fact-finding" trip to Asia, the Middle East and Europe in search of the heroin trail into the United States. The 36-member group will stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village until tomorrow, when it departs for Okinawa, then Hong Kong, Thailand, Burma, Pakistan, Turkey and Romd.

The committee will be briefed today by representatives of federal and local agencies, including the Honolulu Police Department. "There's no question that all stations will be carrying more programming on a same-day or live basis. As to whether all programming will be carried, that's still a question mark," Fox said. KHON programming director Al Hoffman said NBC's signal is "not on the right satellite" for reception here and said KHON (Channel 2) "isn't planning to broadcast network programming on a same-day basis "in the near future." Doing so would involve the added expanse of booking additional satellite time, he said. Hoffman said, however, that if Channel 9 does broadcast via satellite, "it's going to cause us some problems." "If they do it.

I guess we will go ahead and do it as soon as we can," Hoffman said. Hawaii Public Television (Channel 11) is the only Hawaii station that presently broadcasts almost all programming (from the Public Broadcasting System) via satellite-delay. V1 satellite distribution of all programming and will send its programming via a satellite within reach of local affiliate KITV (Channel 4) within a couple weeks, KITV general manager Bob Fox said. Once KITV is "in the footprint," the local station will be able to receive all ABC programming via satellite. Fox said.

However, KITV has no immediate plans to broadcast the ABC lineup on the same day it's beamed over the satellite. Same-day broadcast is not economically feasible. Fox said, because of the cost for personnel and equipment to tape programming and p'ay it back on a delayed basis. He said, however, that the ABC network might be willing to underwrite some or all of the additional cost. Options being discussed at Channel 4 include broadcasting only the prime-time lineup on a same-day basis; and limiting same-day or live broadcasts to timely programs 20-20." Ann Cassel Advertiirr Staff HWlrf Hawaii television audiences could be watching many more network programs on the same as Mainland viewers this spring if plans being discussed local network affiliates become a reality.

Local CBS affiliate KG MB (Channel 9) expects to broad-' cast prime-time programming on a same-day basis some time in the spring, station spokeswoman Jan Stark said yesterday. The possibility of broadcasting the rest of the CBS lineup is still being discussed. KGMB's local sales manager Bill Riddle explained in a recent interview that the station may be able to pick up the same satellite signal Mainland affiliates do and then broadcast the CBS schedule on a delayed basis. Riddle termed satellite broadcast "a possibility." "We'd like to start in April." Riddle said-Trie ABC network will bogm Imagine: the Tonight show tonight!.
