Blissard, U.S. attorney, told Wiig he plans to file similar charges against three other members of the Golden Rule's crew.

Huntington was the second Golden Rule skipper to be charged in the past 24 hours with violating a Federal injunction against sailing the ketch to the U. S. nuclear testing area. BIGELOW DEBATING Albert S. Bigelow, who was charged yesterday, is in the City-County jail debating whether he will retain an attorney for his arraignment at 10 a.m.

tomorrow. His previous attorneys withdrew when he announced he would defy' the court's Huntington, who appeared in court in a rumpled business suit and a dark red tie, declined the services of an attorney. "My plea is guilty to the facts charged," the pacifist told Wiig. "My plea is to the fact that I moved the boat, but in my conscience I do not feel I have done any wrong," Huntington added. Wiig asked Huntington -V near Ewa would be as green as the oasis-like the village with the blue Waianae Mountains village of Honouliuli'just beyond it.

Another in the distance. Star-Bulletin Photo by Terry More than four months of strike has left much of Hawaii's sugar cane dry and yellowed, instead of its normal rich green, as the above photogiaph shows. Now, some areas, particularly on Kauai, are haying trouble resuming irrigation even though workers are available. The trouble on Kauai: A drought developing concurrently with the strike has left many reservoirs so low there is not adequate water for irrigation. Production for the year is about 500,000 tons behind the 1957 schedule.

The above photo, taken on Oahu, shows the fields of Ewa Plantation in the foreground with the town of Honouliuli between the near and far fields. Cane in heavy rainfall areas, such as the Big Island's Hamakua Coast, is in better condition, but non-irrigated cane accounts for less than half of the Territory's acreage. Some Kauai areas have had less than half their normal rainfall this year, and in some months rainfall has been as as low. as five per cent of normal in areas which would require irrigation even in normal times. Estimates are that more than one-fourth of the sugar in the 1958 crop (which would have exceeded 1,000,000 tons of refined sugar) already is lost beyond hope of recovery and that substantial damage to the 1959 and 1960 crops has been sustained.
