We don't make the news; we only report it. Hazard at Waimea Falls Editor, the Star-Bulletin: Sunday, I saw a man break his neck. It was a sickening experience which I hope never to repeat. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin carried the following description of the accident on Monday, "A Navy man broke his neck in a dive from the rocks above Waimea Falls yesterday He is in Tripler Army Hospital in 'very serious' condition.

EWING Editor and the South By ARTHUR KROCK (C) Times Service WASHINGTON The Administration and Congress are absorbed at this point in pressing and resisting a drive for two measures which do not merit the time and energy being spent on them.

Editor, the Star-Bulletin: Within the The press-at least the United Press Kress in the acutely vital matter of safeguarding the solvency of the Fed International is letting its civil rights The young Navy man did not break his neck in a dive from the high ledges into the small pool at the base oi the falls. He broke his neck in a gentle dive from the low bank on the opposite side of the pool from the falls in the family picnic area. At this point, a large rock on the bottom comes within about two feet of the surface of the pool.

The water was quite dirty Sunday (unusually so, we past few days I have read that Governor Burns is going to the Mainland for a conference and that he is taking with him the President of the University of Hawaii and his aide, the Superintendent of Education, and three legislators.

The State Department's motives are 'the Honolulu Concert Theatre perpetrated by Mr.

Byron Trimble. I think this gentleman done the cultural growth of the city no great favor. The various quotes which have been attributed to Mr. Trimble regarding booking policies at the Honolulu International Center cause the reader real concern. Is Mr.

Trimble free to book any and every attraction that may present a check at his desk or is there a screening committee or an advisory committee which aids in these selections? Is Mr. to be our "taste maker" in Honolulu? It would seem a mere courtesy to offer our fine facilities to James Doo-little for his summer festival before "taking the first check." Lacking that degree of appreciation for Doolittle's interest in. and the Greek Theatre Association's support of. fine entertainment and civic cultural growth for Hawaii, it would have seemed onlv ethical to acquaint him with the facts, i.e., who had booked the facility and when this was accomplished. These facts, along with an accurate time table of events, might make interesting reading.

The summer musicals will no doubt be entertaining, although not in the tradition of St. Louis, Dallas, Louisville and other important summer musical operations across the U.S. These play to "Shell size" audiences with minimal admission charges possible. All of these successful operationshave resulted from civic involvement and local participation they have not been "brought in" productions. The Greek Theatre Association is a unique operation, it asks little and contributes greatly to the cultural life in our community.

It hasn't been too long ago when they made the same outcry about the builders filling in Salt Lake without their passing on it. Before that was over they seemed to be patting the developers on the head and saying go ahead.

The sea can't help us on Salt Lake because when it is filled up that will be it. Where are the conservationists? Our Federal Government is begging people to take care of our natural resources, while here they go out of their way to destroy the only lake we have in the Islands. Other places work hard to make lakes where none were before but here they work like crazy to fill our only one. Where is our pride for the natural beauty of our state? What has happened to our sense of values? Why all these protests and nothing done? Doesn't Hawaii really care? When one of our "informed officials" was asked some of these things the answer was "It is nothing but a mud flat anyway, so why bother?" The reason we bother is because Salt Lake is NOT and never has been a mud flat. Why don't some of these people use a little gas and take a look for themselves before such statements are made?
