Telephone Rate Hearing In Final Stages Today KAHULUI, Maui, April 12 Hawaii Education Association Convention delegates have reaffirmed their confidence in the ability of the Department of Public Instruction's two chief administrators to serve "our Profession." The resolution was one of 23 approved at the two-day convention at Maui Technical School this week. Clayton Chamberlin "has rendered excellent leadership as superintendent of public instruction and Richard Meyer has efficiently carried out the duties and responsibilities of the superintendent's office in the absence of the superintendent," the resolution said. Chamberlin recently underwent major surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Other resolutions approved: 1 Supporting increased appropriations for the teacher's training program at the University of Hawaii and Japanese Chamber Officers Consider Mass Resignation Officers of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce are seriously considering resigning in force in order to clear up a controversy which has arisen over the resignation of Sadao Asato, a chamber vice-president, it has been reported. The mass resignation had been suggested by a chamber member who said such an action would pave the way for Asato's return to the chamber. Tetsuo Oi, executive secretary for the chamber, said yesterday that several officers had discussed a proposal to resign in force and hold another election for 1958 officers. The proposal will be put before the board of directors at the next meeting, Oi said. Backward Look HOT SPRINGS, Ark.

(AP) Students taking an exam in Mrs. Opal Williams class were given this question: "What does the term 'cold war' mean?" One boy's answer: Valley Forge." A "retired" instructor who is still teaching was honored by the Oahu Youth Council yesterday "for the qualities we like best in a teacher." Hugh Neubert. English instructor at St. Francis Convent School the past two years, was selected "Teacher of the Year" by the council. He was presented with a trophy by Cara Lane, council member, at a West Honolulu Rotary meeting yesterday at the Hawaiian Village.

Miss Lane was chairman of School and Family Day recognized yesterday as a feature of the current Boys and Girls Week in Hawaii. Mr. Neubert was selected the outstanding teacher of nine nominated for the title after an interview with a council committee, Miss Lane said. "We found he was a well-rounded person, friendly, understanding and always willing to help. He's interested in you personally." Mr.

Neubert has been teaching 35 years "too long," he says. He said he retired in 1950, after teaching many years in Montana and Washington, and came to Hawaii for a vacation, "but a friend talked me into substitute teaching." He remained two years, instructing at Iolani, Waipahu and Central Intermediate Schools. From 1955 to 1956, he said he traveled across Europe, Mrs. Flora K.

Explaining why he refused the Pulitzer Prize for drama for his play "The Time of Your Life," he said, "It's about time I told someone. "You can't throw a gift at someone. It's arrogant to give gifts a person has to receive.

I didn't know what the prize was for or who it was from. They told the press before they told me." He has been accused of not accepting the Pulitzer Prize on the basis that he objects to "wealth supporting art." ECCENTRIC BUT SANE He said he realized people called him eccentric. "But the artist who is eccentric is probably the sanest man alive," he said. Explaining his reference to "tigers" in his writings "Tracy's Tiger," "The Trouble With Tigers" he said "A tiger represents a number of things. "It can be the essence of the self, the spirit.

It can be potential good or bad, your witness, companion and finally death a person's destiny." He planned to spend the day in Honolulu alone. "I prefer it that way." THE RICH AND POOR He asked a reporter, "Where do the poorest people live, and where do the richest live? I want to see both." He "said he would rent a car and "race around the Island and see as much as I can. This place has always been fascinating to me." Continuing his trip around the world, he said, would provide a fitting close to his 50-year biography.

Then he will return to his Malibu, California, home, where he does much of his writing.

Or has he developed the austerity (observable in his i painting as well) in answer to the exacting requirements and low calorie intake of newspaper ads? In the "portfolio" section are fairly free- standing works of art, such as a gay calligraphic line drawing by Herbert Bauer, and a big rendering of a building, by i members countered statements made yesterday by the telephone company about methods of arriving at certain figures.

Gulf of California Called Likely Area Of Strong Quake PASADENA, April 12 (UP) A "good-sized" earthquake, probably centered at the mouth of the Gulf of California 1,000 miles from here, was registered at 3:49.24 a.m. (P.S.T.) today by seismographs of the California Institute of Dr. Charles F. Richter said the quake was 6.5 in intensity and "good-sized." A quake that strong would cause damage if it occurred in a populated area, he said.

He said the quake's epicenter was in the gulf, rather than on land, and probably was felt at La Paz at the tip of the Lower California peninsula. NO DANGER HERE, OBSERVATORY SAYS In Honolulu, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey's Magnetic Observatory at Barber's Point said the Mainland quake posed no tidal wave danger to Hawaii.

He said more than 200 members from the Mainland are expected. Turning to criticisms of the executive's place in American industry today, Weaver said there is still wide latitude for individualists to show their worth 'V Matjon Photo Robert A. Weaver within polished organizations. In fact, there's much more opportunity for initiative, he noted. A competent executive formerly was too busy attending to details in unorganized firms, he said.

"Corny as it may sound," he said, "management is looking for executives with initiative and new ideas as well as a high level of intelligence." And a wife's best contribution to a successful businessman, chimed in Mrs. Weaver, is simply to keep "a calm and collected home." Weaver heads Bettinger Corporation of Waltham, Massachusetts, a firm which specializes in coating metal products with ceramics. Among his developments: new high-temperature ceramics for jet and missile engines'. Also arriving today were Saul M. Silverstein, Colonel Willard F.

Civil Service Continued from Page 1 Hall observers: "Why did they ever ask or i a 1 committees, either in the Gallas investigation or the hiring of a new director?" A member of the Gallas committee said yesterday, "We all realize that our report hasn't as yet achieved much results in clearing the way for someone responsible in the job.

"One recommendation we made had considerable merit. But it has not yet been' recognized by the Mayor in responsive action. "We wanted a directive that would set up procedures to apply in the case a non-civil service employe was fired. (Mrs. Nesta M.

Gallas, former Personnel Director who the committee said was fired unjustly, was not covered by civil service.) "We wanted a hearing provided for in case of dismissal so the person's record and professional standing could be protected." A' Architect's kn So Good, Yet By AUSTIN FARICY The second annual exhibit of the Advertising Artists and Designers of opening at the Academy of Arts, poses sobering and philosophical questions.
