RURAL FOLLOWERS Tsujis movement to return to the old way of life claims some 100,000 followers, particularly in rural areas. Since most, of Japan's big military names were hanged or jailed after the war, Tsuji is one of a very few operating full steam on the public scene today. He escaped prison or hanging by posing as a Buddhist monk and hiding in a Thailand Monastery.

Then he wandered through Asia for four years until the war crimes trials were over. He was elected to Parliament last October and has been stirring up opposition to the present Japanese way of doing things by de- imanding a return to fundamentals.

I IN COAST PRISON McCoy is now in McNeil Island. penitenitary serving a five year FederaPsentence for another narcotics offense.

He and Lewis were indicted jointly on the Territorial charge and charges are pending against McCoy, in Circuit Court. The girl involved is in Kawai-loa Training School for Girls. A Territorial law setting the 20 year maximum penalty for selling narcotics to minors was passed by the Territorial Legislature in 1951. Formerly all narcotics law violations were misdemeanors under Territorial law. It is still only a misdemeanor to sell "dope" unlawfully to adults.

GIRL IS ADDICT According to police, the teenage girl, then known as a marihuana addict, met Lewis at the park. Lewis then got in touch with McCoy who delivered the cigarets to her. The girl was acting under instructions from police. A minimum sentence for Lewis will be recommended by the prisort board in three months. Judge Buck told Lewis she would take his plea for leniency into i consideration in fixing the mini mum sentence.

Va is the principal owner of ABS, which also owns station WMT, Cedar Rapids, and other properties. He is also the manager of Fulton Lewis radio-news commentator. The announcement said that Jack Burnett, general manager of KULA, is being retained in that position. Plans are being discussed, it was said, for KULA's going into television, and for a radio-television center in Honolulu. BURNETT ON MAINLAND Additional details on the sale of KULA await the return of Manager Burnett from the Mainland.

He is expected to return next week from Los Angeles and other Mainland points where he has in connection with the sale and general company business. Meanwhile, staff management lo- cally has been advised that opera tion of KULA will continue much as in the past. The interest in TV will be pursued as before, perhaps more intensively.

Louis A. Marino of 1014-B Morris Lane was treated for a one inch knife wound in the lower chest region at Emergency Hospital and later transferred to Tripler. The stabbing occurred at a bar located at 436 N.

King St. about 9:50 last night. According to Detective Frank B. Shaner who investigated, Marino had gone to the bar where his wife works to attempt a reconciliation. An argument followed during which the stabbing occurred.

The victim was reported in good condition last night. Jduv Thaw! HI EE, Through Your EE) (SCNDCC Communists' Czech Ruler, Gottwald, Dies VIENNA, Austria, March 14 Glement Gottwald, 56, the Communist dictator-president of Czechoslovakia, died in Prague today just five days after the funeral of his protector, Joseph Stalin. The heavy-set peasant-born Moravian, who even looked like Stalin except for the mustache, was taken ill Thursday morning and died of what Prague Radio said was pneumonia and pleurisy, complicated by a chest hemorrhage. He had been in poor health for nearly a year. The broadcast hinted that the icy winds in Moscow, where Gottwald attended Stalin's funeral Monday, brought on his fatal illness.

But the sudden demise of the dictator who succeeded the late Eduard Benes as President in 1943 struck Western observers as a queer coincidence. There were some here who hinted that he might have been "purged" by the new regime in the Kremlin because it feared he might become a Tito. OTHERS 'SICK' TOO? Meanwhile, mysteries have developed over the health of two other Red Satellite leaders. Matyas Rakosi, No. 1 Communist iof Hungary and a Jew, has not re turned to his country from the Moscow funeral, so far as is known.

Wilhelm Pieck, 77, elder states-, man of German Communism and President of the East German Republic, has been reported seriously ill since early last week. He did not go to the Stalin funeral. Perhaps significantly the Prague Radio followed up the announcement of the death by declaring, "those attempting- to destroy the unity of Czechoslovakia will be mercilessly wiped out." This was after the patter of Moscow's radio appeals for unity around the new Soviet Prime Minister, Georgi Malenkov. after Stalin's death. MAY ABOLISH POST There was no hint as to who will succeed Gottwald.

There is a possibility that the post of President may be abolished and ruling power placed in the hands of a group of likely contenders for the No. 1 spot. The four likeliest contenders are Antonin Zapotocky. the Prime Minister; Vilem Siroky, Deputy Prime Minister Karol Bacilek, National Security Minister, and Alexei Cepicka, Gottwald's son in law and Defense Minister. Gottwald wielded broad powers.

He was not only President, but boss of the Communst Party and Commander-in-Chief of both the Army and the Secret Police. No other functionary in a Communist Satellite had as much power, at least in name. BULLETINS AIRED Gottwald's illness did not become known to the world until late yesterday when the Prague Radio announced it. Like Moscow Radio in Stalin's illness, it accompanied the announcement with solemn music and frequent broadcasts of medical bulletins signed by many doctors. Some of the doctors were Russians.

This morning, it was announced that Gottwald had fallen into a coma. The regular 1 p.m. news broad- least was delayed for an hour and 11 minutes, with tne announcers apparently standing by for the death bulletin. Then the announce ment that Gottwald had died at 11 p.m. (5 a.m., EST) was read to the listeners.

Mr. Seitz. a former Circuit Court probation officer, in a petition for a restraining order filed yesterday in Circuit Court, contends Mr. Miki can't hold two Territorial jobs at once. He says the'clerk's regular position is that of executive officer of the Territorial Department of Public Welfare and he should be attending to his work there.

Mr. Seitz complains that Mr. Miki. acting as clerk in the 1931 Legislature, caused Mr. Seitz' claim for against the Territory to be dropped from the budget then under consideration.

It heard Mr. Tavares report that he feels the bill passed by the House contains about as much as can be hoped for in terms of amendments desired by Hawaii and in the face of opposition raised by various Federal agencies. 'Every single important public land amendment that we asked for" was put. in the bill, Mr. Tavares said, He said there was a long fight with the Pentagon over the question of jurisdiction over military areas, with the Pentagon wanting them set up "like separate Dis io.

New Waikiki Hotels Planned By Local, Mainland Capital Announcement was made Friday that plans are well advanced for an apartment-hotel development project at Waikiki. The site is on a 100 foot frontage of Queen's Surf land, on the ewa or town side of the present Queen's Surf restaurant and night club.

INSIST ON REVIEW Mr. Tavares said he does not like the review of the State Constitution insisted on by the House, but said he believes the Senate will insist on it, too, and feels Hawaii should begin its fight now to win approval for the Constitution. The step, he said, need not delay Statehood, since the timetable for Statehood already postpones state elections until November 1954. listed statements and actions which 12 Government witnesses have attributed to the defendants to show that they were members of the Communist Partv.

and that they knew that the party stood for force and violence against the United States. Declaring that the defense has "grasped at a very slim reed" in its motion for acquittal, Mr. Hoddick charged that the defense has attempted to "rationalize and explain away" the Government's evidence. IN KEY INDUSTRIES Obviously attempting to demonstrate the subversive nature of the Communist Party, he said the Reds concentrated their recruiting on key industries of the Territory's economy longshore, sugar and pineapple. These tactics, he added, were intended to support a "national policy to paralyze the nation's economy." All seven defendants were there to hear the Government's' opposition to acquittal.

They are Jack W. Hall, Koji Ariyoshi. Dwight J. Freeman, Charles K. Fujimoto, Eileen T.

Hoddick argued all day yesterday against the motion for acquittal. Defense attorneys began a final plea for their clients freedom at 10:30 this morning in a session that was to end at noon. Mr. Hoddick summed up his argument yesterday by say'Jig: 'The evidence here, is clearly sufficient to warrant this case going to the -jury." He predicted the jurors would "return a verdict of guilty as tq each defendant." MAKES REBUTTAL The attorney made a point by point rebuttal of the defense's claims for acquittal. Replying to defense statements that the State has substituted inferences for facts, Mr.

Hoddick told Judge Wiig: "At this stage in the proceedings, the court is. under the law, required to draw all inferences favorable to the Government to draw ali inferences on which a jury might return a verdict of guilty."
