The mother was later released pending an in vestigation. Police investigators said they believed the child was either thrown or, rolled down the steep bank where turned over to the custody of California social worker Nor man Buchanan. Buchanan would not comment on the case except to say the children were known to Riverside social workers. However, a Honolulu police detective said he believed the children were taken out of California illegally when they arrived in Hawaii a few months ago, And a Child Protective Services worker who asked not to be named said the fact that a California social worker was able to take the children back to that state indicated that the children were involved in another case in progress or even that they were in the custody of a California court when brought to Hawaii.

Waihee, Price lobby for judges' pay raise Kalaaiia: Disaster declaration is expected Hawaii 1 jiX the scheduled end of the legislative session Monday. In an "Emergency Request for Help" to all members of the bar association dated Wednesday, association President Walter Kirimitsu and "President-elect Paul Alston noted Waihee's and Price's request for help.

"Please make three or four calls (to legislators) today," the memorandum said, "please make some copies of this memo and ask some of your colleagues to make calls as well. "There is good reason to believe that some of our best judges will resign if the pay bill is not passed this year," the memo said. "They don't earn enough to send their kids to college or meet other essential expenses. This must change." By William Kresnak Advertiser Capitol Bureau Chief Gov. John Waihee and state Attorney General Warren Price have called on the more than 3,000 members of the Hawaii State Bar Association to ask legislators to approve a pay raise for state judges.

Senate President Richard Wong Wednesday dismissed the Senate negotiators involved in talks with the House on the issue. The House and Senate are at odds over the Senate demand that senators be allowed to confirm district court judges as a condition for approving the pay hike. The pay raise must be agreed upon by midnight tonight to be positioned in time for a final vote before FROM PAGE ONE lauea Volcano to 104 dwellings many of them in the doomed subdivision. "We're on our last 48 hours for Kalapana Kim; said last night. "We're telling everybody straight out that Kalapana Gardens is being buried." Even if some homes escape the lava flow itself, he said, they will be cut off from road access, water, electricity and telephone service.

Meanwhile, state officials said state disaster aid to Hawaii County and its volcano victims will be forthcoming, but the prospect of federal aid is less certain. Roy Price, vice director of state Civil Defense, said officials planned last night to come up with recommendations that would clear the way for Gov. John Waihee to proclaim a state disaster as early as to Puna Area of Homes mmmimBkAmk Beacn Kalapana Gardens Kalapana yy Store I Pamted t7A Jlmf FRIDAY April 27, 1990 HONOLULU CALENDAR MEETINGS laration. Price estimated'; that 95 pep-cent of the damage has been to private homes, private roads and private utilities. The county originally issued its volcano emergency declaration in 1986.

A state declaration followed in February 1981, enabling residents who lost their homes to acquire state lots at fair market, value, and take advantage of limitedow-interest loans. None of the 1986 volcano victims bought the special lojts and only two applied for loans, Price said. The Legislature is poised give final approval to a bill that would increase the maximum amount of disaster loans to individuals from $5,000 to $25,000. The amount available to businesses for uninsured losses would go from $25,000 to 50,000. State Sen.

Andrew Levin, who represents the area, said budget conferees inserted additional money for Kalapana inlfo the budget bill. "I don't think any of tis know how to help at this point, but we have been asking the county to put together a planj" Levin said. One possible uSe for the money would be to prepare state land for sale to those who have been forced to abandon their property. Rep. Jerry Chang, who represents Kalapana in the House, yesterday urged Waihee to df-: clare the lava-stricken Puria ''district a disaster area.

"Although there is nothing humanly possible we can do to stop the lava flow, it is in your means to. provide some funds to compensate the residents for their loss," Chang said in Hs letter to Waihee. Chang said the fact that lava moves slowly and allows residents time to evacuate does hot make it any less of a disaster when it claims a home. "I do not feel that thefe should be any distinction made between slow-moving lava and hurricanes or earthquakes."
