The judge then ordered the trial to proceed, but took efforts to help a second juror out of financial difficulties and indicated he will do the same for a third. PRAISED JUROR Before the judge excused Juror Peneku, he said the action was no reflection on him and praised mm warmly.

Judge Wiig added that'tne handling of the matter was to be considered as settins a precedent. Alternate Juror David T. Fontaine, of 3C33 Anuhea St. was moved into Mr. Peneku's spot.

TT in ninl 4 t-i lhl Off nlimia 4nr other jurors, the judge learned be- fore the trial proceeded Jurors Frank B. Houshtailins and Ronald T. Uvenka both 'said they will be in financial difficulties if forced to stay on the "panel. Judge Wiig telephoned an official of Hawaiian Electric Ltd, for which Mr.

Houghtailing' has been working about one week, and was. given assurance that Mr. Houghtailing's wages would not be cut because of jury duty. Judge Wiig said he hopes to be able to do as well by Juror Uye-oka. who said his normal $100 a week salary as an electrician for Contractors Mid-Pac has been cut to $60 a week, including his $7 daily jury fees.

POLLED JURY After Mr. Peneku was excused, Judge Wiig polled the jury, questioning each juror individually. "Has anything happened in the court room in the course of the trial which has caused you now to be unable to sit as a fair and impartial juror?" Judge Wiig asked. Each juror responded in the negative. The jurors were asked if they had discussed the recent Kong incident with Mr.

Peneku, the juror involved. The reply, indicated by silence, also was negative. Earlier this morning a first prehearing conf nce was held by Judge Wiig and attorneys outside the courtroom but with the press present. At that conference, Richard Gladstein, speaking" for the seven defendants, suggested that Mr. Peneku be excused from jury duty because of the probability that a "psychological barrier" has been created in his mind.

He said the defense did want to make a motion for a mistrial; but felt that an alternate juror should' be assigned Mr. Peneku's place. The other jurors should also be questioned to see if this attempt to influence Mr. Peneku has affected any of them, he added. DEFENSE DISTRESSED' Mr.

Gladstein said the defense had nothing to do with the alleged jury tampering. Prosecutor John C. Walsh said, "I believe them (the defense attorneys) implicitly." Mr. Gladstein said the defense is "very much distressed" not only at the happening but the "rather sordid suspicion that could be aroused in the mind of the public as well as the jurors against the defendants." Mr. Kong's actions were revealed in court Monday morning before the Government and two of the defense attorneys made their opening statements for this Smith Act trial.

Mr. Kong's only comment to the press this morning was "I'm not saying anything." The courtroom was filled with spectators who sat waiting for the principals to move back into the courtroom.

The remainder are chosen by commissions or boards whose members are named by the chief xecutive.

Even the 15 direct appointees, such as the Attorney General and the Director of Institutions, can 'be removed only by the Governor with the consent of the Territorial Senate if they refuse to resign. COURTESY RESIGNATIONS Customarily however, they submit "courtesy" resignations whenever there is a change in Governors. Most present department heads are Democrats and it is considered probable that the majority will be replaced by Republicans. Most of the salaries are in the $10,000 to $12,000 or slightly higher annual range and no doubt the new Governor Avill find an abundance of Republican applicants lined up for them. But the GOPers can do little more than look enviously at the remaining 5,500 Territorial jobs.

Virtually all are held by civil service employes who can not be removed to make way for patronage appointments.

Three-Week Stay Set by Butler For Pacific Tour Star-Bulletin Bureau WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 Senator Hugh Butler who is expected to "be chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs committee in the next Congress, plans leave for Hawaii within the next two weeks. Kirkley S. Coulter, legislative assistant to Butler, said today the departure date would be November 22 or 23, and that the senator planned to spend three weeks visiting Hawaii.

Guam and key islands of the Pacific Trust Territory. Coulter emphasized that the orimarv purpose of the trip would be to study problems relating tot the proposed Organic Act for the Trust Territory. He said the senator also will check on the progress of Guam under its new organic act and confer 'Hawaii Statehood leaders. Butler will be accompanied by Coulter and Stewart French, chief legal counsel for the Senate Interior committee. Coulter said there still is a possibility that other senators or House members might make the trip.

Briggs to Bypass T.H. Star-Bulletin Bureau WASHINGTON. Nov. 12 Ellis Briggs, the new U. S.

ambassador to Korea, was scheduled to leave from New York City late today for Seoul. The State Department said he was traveling the northern route via Northwest Airlines so would not visit Hawaii when cn route to the Far East. Bomb Letters Didn't Break Security Law Armv source said today that the unofficial disclosures published in plosion of an H-bomb write of such matters in letters home. A spokesman for Army headquarters at Ft. Shatter said today that, so far as is known here, no censorship of mail was imposed by Maj.

Gen. P. W. Clarkson's command at Eniwetok during the bomb tests there. MEN PUT ON HONOR The Army spokesman said that the command could have imposed censorship of mail at "any time, but that apparently the men under it were "put on their honor" not to break security in their letters.

The law, as written into the Atomic Energy Act and already on the Federal books regarding espionage, are not explicit as to the disclosure of information by letter in just the manner in which security was broken in the present instance. For instance, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation 0ffice here, the Atomic Energy Act 'provides, in part, for penalties of a fine of S20.000 or 20 years in pri50n for anyone disclosing infor- mation to unauthorized persons "with intent to injure the United States" or help a foreign power. 10 YEAR TRISON TERM A fine of $10,000 or 10 years in prison is the penalty for so, disclosing information that the person having it "has reason to believe" will harm the United States or benefit' a foreign power. Under the Espionage Act, a prison term of "not more than 10 years" may be imposed on a person who "through gross negligence" permits restricted Information to reach an unauthorized person. The.

same penalty holds if the information disclosed to an authorized person is such that the letter writer, in this case, has "reason to believe" the information could be used to harm the United States or benefit a foreign power. i NOT BELIEVED VIOLATIONS The Shafter headquarters spokesman said today it is not be-j licved there 4hat the letters re- leased to the newspapers are violations of these laws. It was indicated measures would be taken to prevent further such breaks in security at Eniwetok, but whether this would be censorship of the mails or merely a 'repeated warning to potential writers was not known here. This, it was explained, would be jup to Gen. Clarkson.

The general 'is not in Honolulu tod.ay, but it could not be said that he definitely was at Eniwetok, although his command is still in force there.

12 UP) A Communications Commission hear ing into television cnannei assign ments in Portland, ranged far afield today as the president of one Poftland applicant was questioned about a complaint in connection with his application for a Honolulu television grant. John D. Keating, president of Northwest Television and Broadcasting Co. ne of three applicants for Portland's channel 12 said the letter of complaint was sent to the commission by the Advertiser Publishing Honolulu. BAD FA IT 1 1' CHARGED The letter accused Island Broadcasting in which Keating is a partner, of "bad faith" in filing an application for Honolulu's Channel 4 which also is sought by the Advertiser.

-Island operates Tadio stations IKPOA. Honolulu, and KILA, Hilo; the Advertiser operates station KGU, Honolulu. Questioned by A. Harry Becker, Northwest attorney, Keating denied there had been any "bad faith" evidenced by Island's filing for Channel 4 rather than Channel 9 or 13, neither of which had been sought by any applicant. LOWER BAND DECISION Engineering studies, he said, resulted in the conclusion that a television station could, operate cheaper and give better coverage in Honolulu on a lower band.

Two applications already had been filed for channel 2 and only one, by the Advertiser, had been filed for Channel 4. Among considerations prompting the Channel 4 filing, Keating said, were the Advertiser's proposals set forth in their application to spend approximately $100,000 in construction of the station, to hire only seven employes and to operate only four hours a day. In answering the Advertiser's complaint to the commission, Island said it viewed the Advertiser's proposals as "deficient, unrealistic and unworkable."

The Sugar Act still has several years to run, he said. Mr. Hill, who was reelected to his seventh term in Congress this month, termed the Republican national victory "wonderful."

One big field for rewarding the political party faithful is in mem berships on Territorial. boards and commissions. They range in importance and authority from Police and Public Utilities Commissions to the Karrtehameha Day Celebration Commission.

Many carry no salaries. There are about 500 such appointments that the Governor can make throughout the Territory. But even in that promising patronage area, a new Governor will find himself restricted and hemmed in. For one thing, many of the rules of the boards and commissions limit the number-of members that can be appointed from any one party. On the Hawaii Statehood Commission, for instance, no more than five of its nine members' can be of the same party.

REQUIRE SENATE NOD For another, most of the appointments require confirmation of the Territorial Senate and the Governor can not remove them with out consent of the Senate. It is estimated that only about a fourth of the incumbent board Turn to rage 12, Column 5 vair. Although the plane carried emergency reserve supplies of fuel. thev were nofneeded.

Ore Nov. 12 (U.P.W Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska predicted that the Congress would grant Statehood to Hawaii and Alaska next year. Gruening said he doubted that the change in administration would make any "appreciable difference" in the Territories' Statehood ambitions. "Gen.

(Dwight Eisenhower, in a speech at Denver several years ago. came out in favor of Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii," he said. "I think this should be accomplished by Congress next year." Gruening, a guest of Richard L. and Maurine Neuberger. members of Oregon's Assembly, stated his views to reporters here yesterday.

FOUNDED ON FACT This belief is partly founded on tne fact that the Convair is stressed to carry turbo-prop engines whenever a suitable power plant of this type is designed for itprobably within 10 years.
