Two years ago the House Democrats, who were in the majority for the first time, refused to give the Republicans even a single office in Tolani Palace.

Governor King outmaneuvered the Democrats by having a voting booth suddenly moved onto the grounds just outside the Diamond Head entrance to the Palace for G.O.P. use before Democrats knew what was happening. It brought the wrath of former House Speaker Charles E. Kauhane down on the Governor and the Republican House members, but the Governor made it stick and the Republicans used the voting booth all during the session. They dubbed it their "doghouse." But this time, House Democrats not only have provided a room in the Palace basement for the Republicans but also have had three voting booths moved onto the grounds and furnished them.

The Palace office has been assigned to Representative Hebden Porteus, minority leader. They've also assigned Republicans parking space for their cars, which is almost at as much of a premium as office space during a session. The arrangements are being made by Representative Dan K.

Detective Captain Robert L.

Kennedy said, "Our hands are tied. There's nothing we can do about it now." He said an intensive investigation is going to be conducted in an effort to piece together information which could at least shed some light on Raymond's activities and physical condition. "If we had medical opinion that the boy died of natural causes, this would Probe Interference Denied by Chung Norman K. Chung, City Attorney, asserted last night that the responsibility of determining scope of the current probe into the administration of former City Engineer William C. Vannatta is his and not that of the investigator.

In a prepared statement, he answered charges made by George A. Akana, police detective assigned as investigator, that he had interfered with Akana's investigation efforts. Akana has asked to be returned to his regular job in the Police Department. Chung enumerated three specific charges made against him, and gave his answers. Replying to Akana's objection to turning stenographic statements on the probe over to Tom Gill, Chung said, "I think that rather than Mr.

Akana, should make the decision as to what is to be done with the written reports and stenographic statements." BASIC POLICIES He said he had invited Gill, Democratic county chairman, to assist because he wanted the investigation to be fair and impartial and because he felt that Gill could help in formulating basic policies. Replying to Akana's objection to listening to oral statements from Koji Ariyoshi, editor of the Honolulu Record, concerning Hamilton S. Rodrigues, City road superintendent, Chung said: "I feel that this objection relates to the scope of the investigation and is a question for me, rather than the investigator, to decide." He pointed out that Akana's own report shows he has not yet decided whether to investigate these additional charges against Rodrigues. Chung said that Akana had objected to directions given him on who to interrogate. Chung replied that he had instructed Turn to Page I-B, Column 6 Russia to Expel 2 U.S.

Attaches WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (AP) Russia has ordered expulsion of two assistant naval attaches at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The State Department, announcing this today, said the two Americans were assaulted on a street in Leningrad where one was carrying a camera. The announcement named the two officers as Captain Paul R.

Uffelman of the Marine Corps, which is part of the Navy, and Lieutenant William S. Lewis. EMBASSY PROTESTS The Embassy has protested to the Soviet government that these two were physically assaulted on a Leningrad street on January 26 by what the State Department described as "a group of persons dressed in civilian clothes." The State Department suspects the assault may have been deliberately staged by Russian authorities as part of their present propaganda campaign on claims of spying by the United States. The statement said the officers were "falsely accused by the Soviet government of engaging in spying activities." Red Soap Opera "probable cause of death" in cases when he doesn't perform an autopsy. F.

Lang first deputy coroner, said his office is powerless to have Dr. Majoska perform an autopsy unless the coroner's physician agrees to' one. Two days ago, Dr. Majoska ordered immediate cremation of the decomposed body of an elderly woman found in a Waialua canefield. She had been missing from home for 13 days.

He did not examine the remains. Just recently. Dr. Majoska told the City Charter Commission "undetected murder" is a possibility in Honolulu. SYSTEM IS BLAMED He placed the blame on the "60-year-old" coroner's system.

Sheriff Duke P. Kahanamoku fired back in an interview yesterday that if murder goes undetected here, the responsibility falls on the coroner's physician. The role of the coroner's physician and his obligations to the Sheriff's Department and Police Department have been a source of friction on several occasions in the past few years. Sheriffs Office Asks for Ruling On Duty of Coroner's Physician Coroner's To Probe By DAN KATZ The coroner's physician said today he had "no special reason" for not performing an autopsy on a McKinley High School senior who died of "an unknown cause" just two weeks after passing a physical examination. The physician's action was criticized by police officers.

Raymond Isami Taira, 17, of 2451-A Liliha Street, was found dead in bed yesterday morning. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Saburo Taira. Survivors also include two brothers, Roy and Francis, and a sister, Florence.

Services are scheduled for 5 p.m. today with cremation to follow at Oahu Crematory. 'CAUSE UNKNOWN' Dr. Alvin V. Majoska, coroner's physician, performed no autopsy but signed the death certificate as "cause unknown." Police investigators had been waiting for a report from Dr.

Majoska on the cause of death. They were furious, they said, when they learned through the Coroner's office that the body had been released to a mortuary with no autopsy findings listed. Asked this morning by the Star-Bulletin if there was a special reason for not performing an autopsy, Dr. Majoska replied tersely, "No special reason." Does he have" any idea of what may have killed the boy? "No." Doesn't Territorial law require a cause of death on all death certificates? "Yes." But it wasn't done in this case? "That's right." Isn't there a conflict then with the law? "No." Detectives called Hosoi Mortuary to try to hold up embalming of the body, but were informed by a mortician that ising a Mixture Of Rage, Relaxation POINT OF THE MOUNTAIN, Utah, Feb. 7 (AP) Rioting convicts knuckled under early today after ruling Utah State Prison in nearly 12 hours of uncontrolled revolt that was a strange mixture of violent destruction and almost tender concern for hostages.

Some prisoners went on a wild alcohol-and-power binge; others sat around nonchalantly watching television and looking out for the captives they had seized. They yielded to Governor George D. Clyde's firm insistence that he would not even consider their demands until they turned loose their hostages and gave up their weapons. ARMS SURRENDERED The wild party ended at 1:55 a.m. Hawaii time.

The last 18 of the hostages filed out of the convict-controlled section of the modern prison some 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. With them came convict spokesmen who surrendered their arms. Governor Clyde said he would now consider the 43 "suggestions" of the prisoners. But first he left the prison and went home to rest after the. nightlong tension of facing them down.

TWO HURT IN FIGHTS One guard was stabbed and one prisoner beaten during the melee. The prisoner was reported in satisfactory condition and the guard in fair condition. Prison officials said during early stages of the rioting they could see what appeared to" be a body hanging in one of the cell blocks but there was no later confirmation. The prisoners began retreating to their cells, and authorities went through to make a preliminary survey of damage. State Highway Patrol Superintendent Lyle Hyatt said he was preparing a cell-by-cell shake-down.

The riot of about 500 prisoners started during yesterday's evening dinner hour, apparently in an argument between a convict and a guard. The convicts grabbed 27 hostages, including 13 members of a church basketball team which was playing a prison team and four teachers who came from the outside to give lessons. Nine were released during the night as the convicts dickered before finally giving up and releasing the remaining 18. Prison Warden Marcell Graham was in Washington to talk with F.B.I, officials in the course of a tour of prisons. As he prepared to return to Utah, he said racial agitation was his only guess as to the cause of the uprising.

"There has been a little talk about the colored boys' thinking they should have the privilege of living anywhere in the building, and that's all I can think of offhand," he said. "But that has never come to an actual issue," he added. Tenth Radio Station To Open March 18 Islanders can tune in to Honolulu's 10th radio station, KHVII, approximately by March 18. The Federal Communications Commission today approved a construction permit for Kaiser Hawaiian Village Radio, Incorporated, to build the station. A Hawaiian Village spokesman said the new standard broadcast facility will be built in the penthouse of the new hotel under construction to the Hawaiian Village grounds.

The hotel is expected to be completed by the end of this month, and the station is scheduled to be on the air on March 18. It will operate on 1040 kilocycles with a power of five kilowatts, unlimited time. The spokesman said the Village's TV station also will be located in the penthouse. The Kaiser firm has applied for a television license and a hearing in Washington before the F.C.C. is scheduled for next Tuesday.

The firm wants to operate as KHVH-TV over vacant Channel 13. If granted a license, it would be the fourth television station in Honolulu. KULA-TV is opposing the application. Delegate Burns's Mother Is Taken to Hospital Mrs. Anne F.

Burns, mother of Delegate John A. Burns and Edward J. Burns, was taken to St. Francis Hospital yesterday. Mrs.

Tuesday's Net Paid Circulation 05A23 Upr I year- not be necessary, of course." Captain Kennedy pointed out there was no outward evidence of "foul play." Young Taira had passed a physical examination two weeks ago in order to participate in track at McKinley. It is "rare," investigators said, for a death certificate to be signed as "cause unknown" under these circumstances. A veteran homicide detective said the coroner's physician normally gives a physician to make an autopsy if he refuses to do it," Mr. Akana said.

The action was taken aftet a case in which a' 17-year-old boy died unexpectedly yesterday and the cause of death wras officially listed as unknown by Dr. Alvin V. Majoska, coroner's physician. Dr. Majoska.

did not perform an autopsy. TOOK IT FOR GRANTED' Mr. Akana said both the police and his office "took it for granted an autopsy would be performed because of the unusual circumstances of this case. "Here was a young boy in apparent good health, just recently cleared by his doctor in a physical examination. He dies in his sleep.

We have to know why." Mr. Akana said an autopsy under these circumstances "is the usual thing." Meanwhile, Dr. David I. Katsuki, head of the City-County Health Department, explained the coroner's physician system. Actually, by law.Dr.

Katsuki is the coroner's physician. DELEGATES DUTIES But because of his administrative duties, he has delegated this position to Dr. Majoska, a member of the Health Department, "who I feel is the most qualified doctor in Honolulu to do the job." Dr. Majoska is "on loan" to the Sheriff's Department (which encompasses the coroner's office) and "takes his orders from Duke Kahanamoku and Lang Akana," Dr. Katsuki said.

The statement that Dr. Majoska is "on loan" drew from Akana the comment, "That's news to us. "We can't touch him (Majoska). We have to go to Dr. Katsuki to get him to do anything."

The five are Senate President William H. Heen, House Speaker O.

Vincent Esposito, Senator Oren E. Long, Statehood Commission Chairman Lorrin P. Thurston and Dr. Gregg M. Sinclair, former University of Hawaii president and chairman of the Citizens Committee for Statehood.

Thurston reported that he had authorized Jan Jabulka, executive director of the commission's Washington office, to make the trip from Washington to San Francisco. The commission ratified Thurston's decision. OTHER PROPOSAL A subcommittee of the commission which studied the question had proposed that all the group except Thurston be sent to San Francisco. However, the full commission added Thurston's name today. The only vote against the motion to approve the trip was cast by Ernest B.

DeSilva, a Republican from the Big Island who wanted the commission to send only four. The original request that the Statehood Commission provide funds was made by William S. Richardson, Territorial Democratic Party chairman. The commission authorized a maximum of $1,500 for the trips of the five. BARGAIN HUNTING?

Soviets Use Live 'Spies7 on TV In Charging Espionage to U.S. MOSCOW, Feb. 7 (AP) The Madison Avenue treatment has been applied with a heavy hand to Moscow's, newest spy charge.

With television cameras trained on an elaborately prepared stage setting, the Foreign Ministry yesterday prepared a three-hour espionage activity claim against the United States. Featured were four live "spies." L. F. Ilyichev, head of the Foreign Ministry Press Department, conducted the lengthy presentation before a news conference attended by some 200 Soviet and foreign reporters. Televised and broadcast live for the Moscow area, it also was filmed for later showings elsewhere in the Communist Ilyichev charged the United States is carrying on an unprecedented espionage campaign that amounts to secret war against the Soviet Union and other Communist nations.

Such action, he declared, makes the United States guilty of "gross interference in the home affairs of sovereign nations." Charges detailed included operation of spy schools in West Germany, regular violation of Soviet air space and smuggling agents into the Soviet Union. On a long table in front of the Foreign Ministry spokesman was a collection of what he called American spy equipment. It included portable radio transmitters and receivers, maps, forged documents, cameras and poison capsules. The poison, it was said, was to be swallowed if the agents were captured. For a clincher Ilyichev introduced the four "spies" he said had been slipped into Soviet territory by the U.S.

intelligence service. Reading from prepared statements under the glaring TV lights, the four told stories of falling into the spy business through U.S. inducements, that included drinking, gambling, and visits to houses of prostitution. The four added that they surrendered or were captured in the Soviet Union between. May, 1953 and April, 1954..
