Quinn to Ask U.S. Open Travel Door Governor William T. Quinn today advocated a U.S. "open door" policy that would loosen travel restrictions on foreigners desiring to visit the U.S. He said he hopes to discuss this with State Department officials next month.

Quinn, who is president of the Pacific Area Travel Association, called for reciprocal agreements with foreign countries to loosen visa requirements and make travel easier. Quinn termed it "ridiculous" that the U.S. does not allow free travel through its borders. NOT RIGHT It isn't right, he said, "that we put our people behind a red tape curtain." He noted that countries such as Japan have reciprocal agreements with some European nations allowing free travel through their borders. Quinn said he will talk over possibilities of easing travel restrictions in the Pacific area when he goes to the Mainland late next month.

He's slated to speak before the National School Boards convention in Chicago April 25. CROWNING During the same trip, he said, he will try to visit Winchester, Virginia to crown Honolulu's Yvonne Mendon-ca queen of the 33rd annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Another matter he hopes to take up then is a talk with bond authorities in New York for the purpose of improving Hawaii's credit rating. The State has the lowest bond rating among the 50 states.

Idea to Rut Up Tourists In Homes Isn't His: Quinn eac kisses on each man's cheek. A helicopter lifted the four to San Francisco's Marina Green from the deck of the aircraft carrier Kear-sarge, which found the young men adrift on March 6. Anatole Kardashev, second secretary of the Russian Embassy in Washington, said his government was proud of the sailors and the ordeal they survived.

Each man had lost about 30 pounds. "It is a good example of the strong spirit of our young people," Kardashev said. Kardashev conveyed his thanks to the commander of the Kearsarge, Captain R. L. Townsend "on behalf of our embassy." Approximately 50 newsmen including three Russians crowded around the Russians as they stepped off the helicopter.

The sailors said they were very grateful to the carrier crew and the U.S. Government for their rescue. Boy Drowns Continued from Page 1 a popular swimming spot with children, especially younger ones. ISOLATED SPOT The isolated swimming hole, about one-half mile from the Maalona home where the stream cuts through canefields, is on land owned by the Bishop Estate and leased by Oahu Sugar Company. "No Swimming" signs reportedly are posted in the area.

Ronald is survived by his parents; his twin brother, Donald; four other brothers, Maalona 11; Leo, Raymond 7, and Rusty, 4, and one sister, Dorothy, three months. Suicide Victim's Crippled Vife Unable to Call Aid SACRAMENTO, March 15 (AP) A woman crippled by arthritis lay helpless for 24 hours waiting for help after her husband committed suicide in the next room. Mrs. Tallie Dejong, 56, was found Sunday by a friend who came to fix her hair. She had called for help when her husband failed to bring her dinner Saturday, but to no avail.

There is no telephone in the apartment. Mrs. Dejong's husband, Gerald, 57, was found dead in the kitchen, a bullet through his head. The coroner said Dejong was despondent over a long illness. Geneva was the site of the League of Nations in 1920.

Manually Stoked Freighter Due Here On Way to Japan PORTLAND, March 15 (AP) The 39-year-old coal-burning freighter Arau-co was on the high seas today, en route to Japan via Hawaii, on its last voyage. The vessel, one of the few left that requires hand stoking, left Portland Sunday after a 50-day stopover on the voyage that brought it here from Chile via San Francisco. Captain James Allen of Portland, who went aboard the ship only the day before it left, commands the crew of 36, which contains 12 men from Formosa hired to shovel coal. The Arauco carries 2,500 tons of cargo and 1,600 tons of coal. After unloading the cargo, the ship itself will be scrapped.

Captain John L. Jensen, the ship's agent, estimated her speed at eight and one-half knots. It should take about two weeks to reach Hawaii. O. Haui Hustles, your Star-Bulletin Classified ad, says: Stratton, 440 Olohana asked my help in telling hit golf clubs and bag.

DIAL 57-911 tourists to get the idea there aren't enough hotel rooms available to house them. He said he doesn't think the hotel situation is as bad as has been painted by some industry officials. British Exhibit NEW YORK (AP) England will be making a play for more of the United States market with a huge exposition June 10-26 at the New York Coliseum. The exposition is being hailed as the most comprehensive single display of British industrial and consumer goods, science and technology and culture ever seen outside Britain.

Last year, Americans bought $100 million worth of goods from Britain. Town Meeting Day, the Governor William F. Quinn today denied he is the author of a proposal to lodge tourists in private Island homes. Quinn said a published report saying he suggested the idea is incorrect. He said he is not neces-sarliy opposed to the proposal but that the idea amounts to "bad publicity" for Hawaii.

It's not good for the State, he said, for prospective Korea Continued from Page 1 ach operation in Washington a month ago, too late to be replaced on the ballot. The Democrats focused on preventing Rhee from getting one-third of the registered voters in order to force him into a new-election against a live S.F. Kardashev said the four will rest for a couple of days at a San Francisco motel, then be flown by jet to New York. There they will rest for a week or two in a rest camp operated by the Soviets' United Nations delegation before being flown to Moscow. Kardashev was told by medical officers aboard the Kearsarge that the young men needed only rest and that there was no restriction on their diet.

The Russians, now sporting American-style crewcuts, were still pale from their ordeal. They were identified as Junior Sergeant Victor Zig-anshin, 22; Private Ivan Fe-dotov, 21; Anatoli Khuch-kowski, 20, and Philip Pop-lavski. 20. The men were identified earlier as soldiers, but Soviet sailors working near shore wear army uniforms and carry army ranks. The sailors still wore their green army uniforms when they were picked up by the Kearsarge about 890 miles from Midway Island.

They said they were swept to sea by a storm during a training operation near the Kurile Islands on January 17. The Russians said their morale was high throughout the first month of the voyage. They had a small map cut out of a newspaper, and believed they were being blown toward shore by a prevailing north wind. The landing craft ran out of fuel the first day, and on the 16th day at sea the sailors ran out of canned beef and pork. They made soup from potatoes until that source of food was gone and were reduced to boiled shoe leather by the time of rescue.

The men gave thanks for the constant storms, which are usually dreaded by men of the sea. The Russians said they were able to maintain their water supply, and the heavy clouds protected them from the searing rays of the sun. Girl Drowns Continued from Page 1 Mrs. Eu called her family doctor, who informed the Fire Department, and treatment was given on the patio behind the house. A second physician rushed to the scene by police, arrived at 5:50 p.m.

Eu, president of Universal Motors since March 1956, has business interests in Singapore, Hong Kong and New York. Both Mr. and Mrs. Eu are from Hong Kong. The family has lived in New York, Singapore, London, and Italy, and decided to move to Honolulu after a vacation here in 1957.

For the present, the Cuban revolution seems likely not to touch the great majority of the American and other foreign industrial investments in Cuba. But the sugar and cattle lands have been seized already. The sugar mills are likely to be seized soon. The proposed arrangements for -compensation are far from satisfactory, and these material losses are 10 times more painful, because of the campaign of vilification of the United States that is being waged by Castro and his subordinates. IMPULSE No wonder, then, that there is a powerful impulse SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 (UPI) Four Russian sailors who spent 49 days on a disabled landing craft in the Pacific arrived in the United States today and were greeted by a smiling Russian diplomat who planted hearty Disarmament Continued from Page 1 tain adequate control provisions rather than the Western plan.

Khrushchev's proclaimed goal, outlined before the United Nations in New York last September, is total disarmament in four years. The Western plan contains no time limit. Referring to it, Zorin said: "Our first impression is that these proposals do not contain the necessary real measures for carrying out of general and complete disarmament, and the approach itself to this problem puts in question its practical solution." STRESS WEST'S VIEW Eaton and British Minister of State David Ormsby-Gore both stressed the overriding importance of controls and inspection in any system to cut back conventional and nuclear weapons. French delegate Jules Moch defined the abolition of nuclear weapons as the primary task of the conference. The opening speeches in the Palace of Nations, the old League of Nations headquarters, occupied all the first session.

Ormsby-Gore told the conference he believes the atmosphere is more favorable to success than at any time since the end of World War II. Eaton said "the initial Steps must not be overly ambitious." "It has been said that there must be no inspection without commensurate disarmament. Conversely, the security of the world requires that there be no disarmament without commensurate inspection. We must patiently find our way through this difficulty. "Our seed will be determined by the willingness of states to permit verification of fulfillment of their commitments." The East and West sat down to the conference table the Palace of Nations with rival plans for ending the arms race.

The West's plan calls for creation of an international disarmament organization iwith ultimate power to enforce disarmament. 2 The conference likely will set up several study groups and committees of experts -which may deliberate for months or even years. U.S. negotiators were told 'to expect to stay in Geneva at least a year. But a Soviet commentator in Moscow called for speedy action.

For the first time in more than a decade of arms talks, East and West were meeting 'on an equal numerical basis. 'I On the Western side were the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Canada. Representing the Communist bloc were the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Czechoslo- vakia and Bulgaria. Previous disarmament talks were carried on mostly by the United States, Britain, France, Canada and the Soviet Union. Ghost Bv JOSEPH ALSOP HAVANA, Cuba The people at home who have begun to talk so loudly about Cuba, will do well to remember how the Suez crisis started.

It started, in effect, because the late John Foster Dulles began a game of tit-for-tat with Gamal Abdel Nasser, without considering where the game might lead. Dulles abruptly canceled the Aswan Dam scheme. More particularly, he made this gesture with calculated rudeness. And this drove Nasser to nationalize the Suez Canal years ahead of his planned schedule. On the very day of the Dulles gesture, the French Fast Draw Slows Youth To a Limp With Leg Wound A University of Hawaii sophomore practicing "fast draws" with a .22 caliber target pistol accidentally shot himself in the lower left leg Sunday afternoon.

Fry is considered the consequences to Cuba, or the consequences to himself, or any other practical consideration. He is what the philosopher Max Weber called a "charismatic" leader. Cool, practical calculation is not a characteristic of this hotly emotional kind of po- litical leadership. CIRCUMSTANCES Unlike a great many other people including, apparently. President Eisenhower, this reporter is deeply convinced that the marines ought to be called up in certain circumstances.

They should be called up, for instance, if Cuba is clearly becoming a Soviet base in the Western Hemis first Tuesday in March, is a legal holiday in Vermont.

LOUIS (AP) Telephone equipment with a memory probably will go into use on an experimental basis late this year.

The equipment, using part of the guidance system for the Nike Zeus missile, was described by William Barnes, a demonstration engineer for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. It works this way: A caller dials a number and gets a busj signal. This activates the memory unit. When the party he is calling hangs up both phones will ring. The equipment also may be used to record messages for a subscriber during his absence.

Reprisals against Cuba are not automatically deplorable because reprisals are inherently unthinkable in this lovely, lovable, sanitized modern world.

But it is deplorable it is close to lunacy to talk about reprisals without considering the probable end of the game of tit-for-tat. Those who think Cuba is already a Soviet base, and are ready to call up the marines, are justifed in talking about reprisals. Everyone else had better wait and see. Meanwhile they can also pray for an eventual bearable result in Cuba, which ia not inconceivabla. Ike Seeks Sugar Control Continued from Page 1 executive, he said, is not necessarily a result of the Cuban situation.

There has been considerable discussion, in and out Congress, of the idea of cutting down Cuba's share of the U.S. sugar market in response to bitter attacks by the Fidel Castro regime against this country, and to the seizure of U.S.-owned properties. The Administration, however, has denied it is planning economic reprisals. In effect the United States subsidizes Cuban sugar by buying it above world market prices. LONDON Princess Margaret and her fiance, Antony left.

Armstrong-Jones and Margaret were Fry's week a likely choice as Antony's best man at the wedding. of Suez Handcuffs U.S. Action in Havana short a stay in Cuba, I feel very sure indeed that the real choice lies between "taking this from Castro," with all its attendant evil results, or calling up the marines to squash Castro, with all the evil results that can be expected from such an operation. It is 90 per cent sure that these are the only real alternatives because it is almost 100 per cent sure that the kind of limited reprisals people at home are advocating will only start a game of tit-for-tat. RESPONSE Cut the quota, and Castro will seize the American investments that are still untouched in Cuba.

ambassador of that time hurried to the State Department to ask what Secretary Dulles would do when Nasser answered the gesture by seizing the Canal. He was laughed at for his pains. But when the ambassador's foresight had been proven by events, it also turned out that Secretary Dulles simply did not know what to do, and with catastrophic results. REMINDER This ugly episode of the recent past needs to be borne in mind now, for a quite simple reason. The temptation to begin a game of tit-f or-tat with Fidel Castro is already strong, and it is likely to grow stronger.

in Washington to abolish the PnVi 1 cease buying Cuban sugar at prices above the world market, or to make some other gesture which will "teach Castro a lesson" and "put Castro in his place." The effect of Castro's example on other Latin American countries is an added argument perhaps the most important argument for reprisals against Cuba. "We can't take this from Castro," they say, "unless we are ready to take this sort of thing from everyone else." Not having seen the other Latin American countries, this reporter cannot judge the force of this argument. But even after much too Increase the pressure, and he will demand the evacua- tion of the Guantanamo Nav- al Base. Break diplomatic relations, and he will make Cuba into a Soviet base in our hemisphere a very different thing from the recent Cuban deal for a Soviet credit, in which, as usual, the Kremlin gave Cuba short weight. Compared to Castro, Nasser is humble, sluggish and lethargic.

If Nasser reacted violently to the beginning of a game of tit-for-tat, Castro can be expected to react 10 times more violently. He can in fact be expected to play out the game of tit-for-tat to the limit of his resources, without regard for.
