By 6 a. morning: listener interest has already reached its peak. And in the evening the audience practically fades away after 9 p. one of the top periods for radio programs in America. By 11 p.m.

when the stations sign off for the night only 3.3 per cent of the sleepy listeners still linger. Yet at 5:30 a. m. when broadcasting resumes a solid 20 per cent have switched on the dials. ant numbers of former Japanese soldiers have turned free-booting mercenaries in China and North Korea.

There have been many reports along this line, telling of disillusioned members of the once great Kwantung army who joined either the nationalist or Communist armies in China rather than return home to a demilitarized and defeated Japan. The reports were given a semiofficial tone, however, after Yasut-sugu Okamura, once commander in chief of all Japanese forces in China, was repatriated from China in January. mm mm mum WHERE'S YOUNG KONOYE? The whereabouts of the eldest son NEWS OF THE AIRLANES A month ago the Honolulu airport had lire and crash protection in the form of equipment owned and manned by the naval air facility there. A month from now it may have none as the navy has announced plans to withdraw the facilitv in its over-all territorial cut-back. aaa Moving: swiftly to fill the threatened gap, the Hawaii aeronautics commission held a special meeting last week and appointed Director Glenn T.

Belcher and his staff to make a study of the safety needs of the airport and report hack as soon as possible. William S. Holloway, territorial airport safety engineer, completed a preliminary study Saturday and turned a memo over to Mr. Belcher recommending "minimum" requirements for crash-fire fighting needs. USE -C UNITS Mr.

Belcher said that the memo included information on only as that type of fire is the only needing "immediate" response. "Structural fires could be answered by city-county units nearby, but crash-fires must be reached within 30 seconds. "One minute is about the time that a unit has in which to put the fire out," he explained. Preliminary studies conducted by the territorial fire marshal and the city-county fire chief along with Mr. Holloway should be completed and recommendations placed before the commission by the middle of next week.

Once this step is taken it will probably remain with the legisla of the late Prince Konoye, pre-war Japanese premier, have become the Some Japanese Urging Closer TiesWithRuss By KEYES BEECH Chicago Daily News Foreign Service TOKYO, Feb. 28 The feeling in some Japanese circles that if the United States isn't going to defend Japan, this country had better start getting friendly with Russia, has broken into the open. Commenting on the North Atlantic security pact, The Nippon Times concedes that in the global strategy of the democratic powers Europe must come first. "But as long as the far eastern countries remain in fear of a possible invasion in event of war," says The Times, "is it any wonder that their peoples can generate little spontaneous enthusiasm about working to establish a democratic snd economically attractive society? That ivould be sticking their necks cut too far." aaa However, says The Times, if America could guarantee Japan reasonable protection, the Asiatics would continue their efforts to build up a "healthy and vigorous democratic society." aaa Some Japanese are beginning to talk about amending their American-written constitution which renounces war as an instrument of national policy. This would be preliminary to re-lbuilding a national army, the mere "suggestion of which sends Russian observers here into a tailspin.

Such a move undoubtedly would be slapped down by occupation headquarters. But the fact that Japanese are thinking about it shows which way the wind is oiuucum ci gicuuea Qcgrees ana diplomas by the University board of regents at their meeting Friday afternoon.
