Bus ayor Asks Cpuiicil OK Pupil Mayor Neal S. Blaisdell Ride Subsidy whether students should receive free transportation. The Council request stipulated the three-mile he noted. The money would come from the unappropriated or contingency fund and the program would be administered by the City and County Finance Director. He said the program would eliminate the necessity for some students to hitchhike to classrooms and-should cut down the number of students who drop out of school because of transportation problems.

-The students will be given tickets by which the City will pay the difference between 10 cents and the fare charged by the bus company involved. Some students pay 25 cents a ride, or 50 cents a day. Others pay considerably less. Blaisdell's proposal was in response to a Council request in October asking him to submit a program to deal with the school bus problem temporarily, until a permanent bus program can be developed. 10 subsidize transportation costs of rural students living three or more miles away from school, The move would giye transportation on private school bus systems to rural students at the same" rate as city students enjoy on Honolulu Rapid Transit buses.

The subsidy would average 19 cents a "day, Blaisdell told the Council in a letter accompanying two enabling ordinances he submitted. His proposal would provide for the 86 school days remaining in this year's term and would cost $173,000, including subsidies and administrative costs. The letter to the Council says the subsidy should go only to students outside the Honolulu district who live at least three miles from school because these are the children facing the greatest transportation problem. Also, he said, funds are limited, and other counties in the State use the three-mile guideline in determining 6 Weather Forecast Honolulu and vicinity: Fair to partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday.

4 (AP) Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara set in motion today a drastic modernization of the Army Reserve and National Guard. He said it will build strength "far greater than any we have known in the past." The sweeping reorganization involves eliminating eight Reserve and National Guard infantry divisions, all of low priority, and dropping 731 smaller units which are considered out of date. Most of the men in these units will be reformed into brigades plus supporting units which together with a picked group of six National Guard divisions will make up a top priority force trained and ready to back up the Army's 16 divisions within eight weeks after a call to active duty. McNamara ordered immediate elimination of four Reserve infantry divisions and a net of 393 lesser Reserve units.

He could do this because the Reserve is wholly under Federal control.

Fairy books, picture books and adventure books are welcome, too. In Manila where school books are so scarce that they must frequently be shared, school library shelves also lack supplemental reading material.

Old books there usually cost more than a new book here. While heartening response has come from Oahu's public and school libraries for the campaign, the response from individuals has been light so far. The citizens' committee conducting the drive asks Memorial Day, May 30. However, the Navy on Friday will dedicate its new par-3, nine-hole golf course on Ford Island just a few hundred feet from the now rusty and rotten hulk of the Arizona serving as at tomb for 1,176 American sailors. The Navy also will host at Block Arena five amateur Japanese boxers on Friday night, the 21st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor which triggered the United States entry into World War II.

HONORING THE DEAD "There is a day set aside for remembering the dead of battles," said a Navy spokesman here. "In line with the Secretary's policy, we don't plan anything Friday." The spokesman added, however, that the Navy will operate the shuttle boat service to the memorial every 30 minutes, just as it does every other day. Also, a section of gleaming white memorial, dedicated last May 30, will be roped off to permit persons to place flowers "if they wish," he said. fusion, including overdrawn accounts. In an'audit of the department's "special services account" dating back to August, 1959, Murakami said he discovered that a total of $31,132.29 was paid out to 188 workers, many of them City-County employees, for services at the Shell or other City recreational facilities.

In na 'case were taxes withheld from the wages received by the 188 workers, Murakami said. One City-County employee earned $4,825 from August 1, 1959, to June 30, 1962. Other Government workers earned amounts ranging from $100 to $3,000. Some of them included Parks Department employees. Others were off-duty policemen who were hired to maintain order at the Shell, the Ala Wai Clubhouse and other recreational centers during social events.

Murakami could not immediately determine how many of the 188 workers were City-County employees. He said there is nothing illegal or improper in the hir gious brother, according to one of the two priests. Three of the statues weighed over 250 pounds and were five feet six inches high. They were statues of Saints Joseph, Theresa and Anthony. Two other statues were of angels, about three feet high.
