This is due to heavy air traffic which prevents true "direct" flights, he said. Pence said that Island's inter-Island flights are not a matter of purely local interest and concern as Sky Bus officials contended. REVENUE DECREASE "This court accepts the Government's statement that there would be a very substantial decrease in 3 Sky Bus Appeal Is Contemplated A spokesman for Island Airlines said there is no doubt in his mind that Judge Martin Pence's decision would be appealed to a higher court.

In Leopoldville, the Egyptian and Algerian diplomats were allowed to leave their embassies, which had been surrounded by Congolese troops for 48 hours. How soon Tshombe might be permitted to leave for home was not known. He was reported anxious to get back to the Congo. Isolated in Aruba Palace and practically incommunicado, the Congolese Premier was overshadowing the confer e. Even Egyptian newspapers.

which are printing uncounted words of speeches at the conference, gave Tshombe banner treatment. A Belgian who visited Tshombe quoted him as saying: "I am really and truly a prisoner I have been authorized for the past several hours to make contact with the Congolese delegation. But I cannot use the telephone myself and cannot leave here. More than 30 intelligence agents are inside this house and a compa-' ny of troops are outside. They follow me -when I walk in the garden and watch me when I eat." Nasser and President Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria led the fight to keep Tshombe from the conference.

They have accused him of being a stooge for the West, opposed his attempted secession of Katanga, and blamed him for the killing of Patrice Lumumba, leftist and first Premier of the Congo. The conference voted unanimously to bar Tshom be and so far no one has arisen publicly to denounce his detention, an act without precedent in modern times. Goldwater Continued from Page 1 water's recent positions on such issues as social security, extremism and the Cuban missile crisis. "I don't think these statements were really Senator Goldwater talking," Seward told the Post. "I think his advisers were speaking more for themselves than for the Senator." The story also quoted Seward as saying Goldwater is "a wonderful man" whose policies are "basically middle of the road."

Capitol Bidding HEA to Name lis Candidates The Hawaii Education As-sociation, representing some 5,000 school teachers, will announce its indorsement of State Legislature candidates Saturday following a board of directors meeting. The indorsements will be made on the basis of a survey taken by the H.E.A. of all candidates for the State House and Senate. It will be the first time in several years that the teachers' organization has voiced political preferences.

Also this weekend, the H.E.A. will welcome the arrival of Dr. Jack H. Klein-man, a consultant of the National Education Association. Kleinman will confer with H.E.A.

officials through the week on the subject of professional negotiations. The H.E.A. has asked that it be recognized as the sole liaison body between the State Board of Education and public school teachers. Vietnam Continued from Page 1 military for heavy losses his unit suffered. The incident occurred after two regular battalions of the Vietnamese military the 30th Ranger Battalion and the 1st Battalion of the 46th Regiment were caught in a Communist ambush just west of Saigon Wednesday morning.

In the course of the bitter clash, two U.S. Army helicopters were shot down, killing five Americans. One helicopter was shot down while making low-level machine gun strafing passes against the guerrilla positions. It crashed in the midst of a raging fire fight between government and Communist troops. The second helicopter was crippled while hovering over the smouldering wreckage of the first helicopter.

A U.S. military spokesman said it was trying to provide air cover for possible survivors of the first crash. TV Stations Continued from Page 1 receive final formal approval within three years of its purchase in order to prevent speculative buying and selling. The Heftel interests reportedly are seeking a waiver from F.C.C. to acquire the stations at an earlier date.

Once all three sales are culminated, only KTRG-TV will be owned locally. This station, with no network affiliation, buys most of its programs from syndicates. Henry J. Kaiser, board chairman of Kaiser Broadcasting, described the KHVH sale as "furthering my objectives to bring new industry and new capital into the islands. "The new owners have announced their intention of continuing our program begun in 1957 to help build the economy of the Islands through the powerful media of television and radio." He said that Kaiser Broadcasting would continue in both television and radio with developmental programs in major metropolitan areas.

Berger said no changes in programming or in the staffs of the television and radio stations in the islands are contemplated. Radio station KHVH, organized in 1957, specializes in Hawaiian music and lore. KONA-TV The Advertiser Publishing Company and John D. Keating each hold 50 per cent of the voting stock of Radio Honolulu. KONA-TV is an affiliate of the National Broadcasting Company.

Keating said KONA-TV was sold because of the "good" price offered. He said that the "Advertiser, myself and the stockholders were very happy to receive the price we got." Keating said, "There will be no changes at the station" under the new man-asement. The properties involved are KHVH-TV, the A. B.C. television affiliate in Hawaii, radio station KHVH, one station and five translators which re-telecast to Hawaii and Kauai, and a construction permit for KHVH-FM.

Harrison, the buyer of Radio Honolulu, owns KSTP-TV in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and KOR-TV and radio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. SALE PRICE The KONA-TV holdings include KALA-TV on Maui, KALU-TV in Hilo and UHF Channel 78 on Kauai. A corporation formed by Harrison, and his wife, Paulette. will buy all the voting stock, and about 85 per cent of the non-voting stock owned chiefly by Herbert M.

Richards, Estes Thornes and Arthur Varner. Harrison said owners of the remaining 15 per cent of non-voting stock will be offered the same price paid to the majority stockholders. He said he expects F.C.C. approval of the sale shortly after the first of the year. He is buying the Isle station, Harrison said, because Hawaii has tremendous business opportunities and its people are so nice.

Guam Continued from Page 1 ambulances and fire trucks were at the pier and the fire was quickly brought under control. Damage control parties from the Naval Station Fire Department went aboard to search for the dead and injured. But heavy smoke made it necessary for the fire fighters to wear oxygen masks. They found five of the dead in the immediate blast area and quickly brought a dozen injured to the upper decks. Most of the injured were overcome by smoke and were in a state of shock, the Navy said.

Fong Continued from Page 1 71,000 to Fong's 31,000 on the G.O.P. ballot. He said he will be surprised if Gill totals 90,000 votes in the general elections, where at least 100,000 votes willl be needed for election. MUM ON DEBATE Fong declined to tell newsmen at the press conference whether he will engage in a debate with his Democratic opponent, but said he will send off a letter to a University of Hawaii students organization within two days detailing his position. The students had invited Gill and Fong to debate on the campus.

While he refused to tell what his answer will be, there were signs that Fong will refuse to debate. Spokesmen close to Fong indicated the Senator has nothing to gain by a confrontation with Gill. Fong told newsmen he differs on a great many issues with the Republican Presidential nominee, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. SCORES GILL He implied that the Gold-water philosophy is not an issue in the Hawaii campaign for the U.S. Senate.

Fong, reading from a Let's Debate Record, Gill Challenges Representative Thomas P. Gill said today, "if Senator Fong wants to discuss voting records that's fine. Let's get together and debate." prepared statement and us ing elaborate graphs to illustrate his points, ac cused Gill of a "miserable record of absenteeism" and "part-time representation of Hawaii in the House of Representatives." He said Gill "deserted Washington" a month ago, while important measures were still pending in Congress. These measures, he said included a bill containing $9 million for education in Hawaii, appropriation bills carrying funds for the anti-poverty act, the civil rights act, the food stamp program, the commission on automation, urban housing, low-income housing, public works and foreign aid. MEDICARE BILL He said Gill was in Hawaii "posing as a strong supporter of medicare" while the medicare bill itself was stalled in conference committee in Congress and added that House proponents of the measure could have saved it.

Fong also charged that Gill was campaigning in Hawaii while Congress was considering a bill to increase marketing quotas for Mainland cane and beet sugar, a bill endangering Hawaii's sugar markets and sugar industry jobs. Fong traced Gill's voting record in the House, where he said the Democratic Congressman voted only 71 times out of a total of 113 roll-call votes taken. OWN RECORD This was Gill's record in 1964, for a percentage of 62.8. Fong said. The Senator said his own record shows a 94.8 per cent attendance at roll-call votes in the Senate, where he voted on 296 bills out of a total of 312 roll-calls.

Gill's score for the entire two years of his term in the House. Fong said, was 73.7 per cent, while his own score was 92.4 per cent. Fong said he will start his general election campaign tomorrow on the Big Island. "I am going to carry on a vigorous and hard-hitting campaign throughout the State based on truth and fact. "I shall expose the lies, the falsehoods, the half-truths, the misrepresentations, the inconsistencies and the other gimmicks of my opponent," he said.

Fong indicated he will bring home to the voters the advantages of having a Republican Senator in Washington. He pointed out that 34 per cent of the Senate is Republican and 40 per cent of the House and added that two Democratic Senators in Washington would offer the State no way to reach these G.O.P. blocs in Congress and to win them over in issues affecting Hawaii. Continued from Page 1 lion.) Marciel said the amendments would insure that the contractor would not be penalized should such a situation develop. In other words, Marciel explained, the contractor should not be penalized for delays that occur through no fault of his.

He said it will take a week or more to complete the language changes and that the new bid opening date will be announced at that time. FIVE MAY BID Thus far, he said five general contractors appear interested in bidding. He said the contract will enable the contractor to begin work as soon as the ink is dry on the document, but because the Christmas holidays are so close at hand, it is likely that actual work won't begin until January. The capitol site is in the broad area bounded by Punchbowl, Richards, Hotel and Beretania Streets. The project will follow this work table: 1 Relocate Iolani Barracks to the Iolani Palace grounds.

2 Demolish the Honolulu Armory Building and a portion of the old Schuman Carriage Building. 3 Construct the State Capitol, including an underground garage. The building will rise five floors to a height of 110 feet. 4 Straighten Beretania Street between Punchbowl and Miller Streets and provide underground passage to the garage from Miller under Beretania on the ma-uka side. 5 Tear down the old Paradise of the Pacific Building, Universal Motors Building and the rest of the Schuman structure.

6 Landscape the entire area. 3 A mm revenues to the two carriers, estimated at well over $3 million annually," Pence said in his decision. "Any substantial loss of revenue would materially increase the claims of the two carriers for subsidy support by the C.A.B., and would also impair the ability of Aloha to repay its C.A.B. guaranteed loans and thus might require payment by the C.A.B." Pence earlier issued a permanent injunction against I.A.L. on the grounds that the inter-Island channels are international and that the airline needed Federal sanction in order to operate.

APPEAL I.A.L. appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which returned the case of Pence for further hearings. In doing so, the appellate judges did not say he was right or wrong but said he should go further and define the boundaries. Island Air Lines, directed by its tireless president, Walton E. Wood, hs tried in vain for years to introduce the cut-rate service to Hawaii, similar to a bus-shuttle type of operation.

In 1963 he operated his DC-4 Sky Bus between the Islands at cut-rate prices but was grounded by the Federal Government since he lacks C.A.B. sanction. Pence's decision is expected to be appealed once again by the Sky Bus interests who have said in the past that they will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary. Four Students To Attend Future Farmers Convention Four high school students from Hawaii will fly to Kansas City.

Missouri, this weekend to attend the 37th national convention of the Future Farmers of America. The local delegates are Leroy Brack, of Waianae High School, president of the Hawaii F. F.

They will be accompanied on the trip by Tin Yan Jim On, a teacher at Waialua High School.

The group will visit several places of interest after i the convention, including the American Livestock Show at Kansas City, the Ralston Purina Research Farm near St. Louis, the Iowa State University Farm, and the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
