Today's News Today Vol. 55, No. 335 Entertainer Kui Lee dies in Mexico Kui Lee, Hawaiian entertainer-composer, Guadalahara Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. He was 34 years old. Funeral services are pending.

He was born in Shanghai, China, on July 31, 1932, the son of William K. and the late Ethel Kaailau Kuuleialoha Baker Lee. He was born into the entertainment world for both of his parents were entertaining in the Chinese city at the time. They named him Kuiokalani. He is survived by his wife, Frances Rose (Nani) Naone Lee; four children, Wailona, Mahealani, Kimo, 5, and Maile, his father, his step-mother, Eleanor Kaleo Lee, and two sisters, Eloise June Lee Carter and Mrs.

Leilani Lee Frodsham. Kui was brought to Hawaii by his parents when he was five years old. He grew up as a skinny, insecure boy in the Papakolea section of Honolulu. He adopted the sector as his own and often billed himself later as the "Boy from Papakolea." Kui attended Kamehameha School for Boys, but was thrown out because he was, in his own words, "incorrigible." Kamehameha Schools, latere presented recognizing him with his a talent, diploma in July of this year. Kui's first step into show business came as a sword dancer (he taught himself by watching the more experienced Samoans) and led to a few guest appearances on the Ed Sullivan TV show in New York.

He moved into the Lexington Hotel's Hawaiian Room, where he met his wife, Nani. They were married and returned to Hawaii. The Chinese Hawaiian boy virtually taught himself to sing and kept plugging away, taking singing spots in neighborhood bars, mostly at Honey's in Kaneohe. The appearances at Honey's were usually as a guest artist for his Kam School buddy, entertainer Don Ho, whom Nani was singing for. Kui turned four years ago to writing his own songs and they came in a steady torrent, as he labored night and day, writing of his beloved Hawaii.

He said of his songs: "They represent my idea of Hawaii today--the beauty, the love, the warmth that is the Hawaii I love." Among the more than 200 hits he has composed, these stand out as his finest: "I'll Remember You," "Lahainaluna," "Two by Paddle, Two "Oceans "Suck 'em Up," "Ain't Big "All Over Again" and his latest, "The Intangible Dream Come True." "I'll Remember You," has been his biggest hit and has been recorded by such stars as Andy Williams and Elvis Presley. There were at last count, 28 different versions of the hit, including his own. No estimate of how much the songs made for Kui is possible. He lived high at the peak of his success and the hospitalization for cancer treatment both here and on the Mainland in the last year drained his resources. During his career, Kui took on the image of a rebel.

He discarded coats, ties and white shirts and other symbols of conformity.

During the raids, a flight of four F-105 Thunderchiefs encountered two of the latemodel MiG-21s and in a brief dogfight, the Communist jets fired heat-seeking air-to-air missiles. But a U.S.

Times Service TOKY0-Premier Eisaku Sato appointed a new 19- member cabinet today.

The main emphasis in his selection was "capable men who have clean records and fresh ideas" qualifying for the task of winning back the government's lost popularity and the people's trust in parliamentary politics. Sato requested each of his new cabinet colleagues to "draw a line between public life and private" and "enforce strict discipline" in the light of the strong public criticism against the corruption of the previous administration. Chief Cabinet Secretary Kenji Fukunaga said the new cabinet was free from factional favoritism, since a ma jor objective of the reshuffle was to "purify the national political system." The new appointment to key posts included Takeo Miki, 59, former Minister of International Trade and Industry, to the post of Foreign Minister, and Mikio 61, as Finance Minister. Mizuta is considered an outstanding economist in the Liberal Democratic Party and he held the Finance Portfolio previously. Miki studied at a university in the United States.

headquarters said all 11 fliers aboard them were lost--the highest single-day toll of airmen in the war. Some of the American planes clashed with Communist MiG-21s, but none were hit by the enemy fighters, headquarters said. It listed all the 11 American fliers as missing presumed dead or captured. The loss of planes was the partment, said Honolulu's air pollution situation varies from day to day and even hour to hour. The high figures occurred only for a few hours Wednesday and yesterday and then dropped back rapidly, he said.

On Wednesday, he said, "It was all cleared by 9:30 a.m." Nekomoto says the major contributing factor to the peak pollution readings is the weather. And from now until January or February, during the winter months, conditions will be more suitable for stagnation, he added. "This is because it is our so-called calm period." He said increased use of cars and fuel by heavy industries is also responsible for the smog build-up. Residents can help to alleviate the situation by stopping backyard burning of refuse, Nekomoto said.

Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky told newsmen the American forces will begin moving into the delta within three or four weeks. U.S. military officials declined to comment. Ky said there would be a "progressive buildup" of U.S. troops in the delta where 7 million of South Viet Nam's 15 million people are.

Times Service WASHINGTON-The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been eavesdropping on the Dominican Embassy in Washington with electronic devices ever since the 1950s, it was learned today. According to informed official sources, the eavesdropping has been an and it was always undertaken in connection with a specific event that was deemed to involve the national security of the United States. This information confirmed what was independently learned as a result of the six days of pre-trial hearings last month of Robert G.

Baker, former secretary to the Senate Democratic majority. Baker has been charged in a nine Federal indictment with tax evasion, theft and conspiracy to defraud the government by concealing sources of income. Baker's attorney, Edward Bennett Williams, has asked Judge Oliver Gasch to dismiss the indictment on the ground that evidence submitted to the grand jury was illegally obtained by electronic eavesdropping. To counteract that argument, the Justice Department made available to the court and the defense 22 recorded conversations in which Baker took part. These conversations were obtained as the result of the -during an investigation of organized crime -of the offices of Edward like the mixing of the races.

headquarters said four of the lost American planes were shot down by enemy ground fire. This could have been conventional anti-aircraft fire or surr missiles (SAMS), but U.S. spokesmen declined to say which on grounds of security. The other two planes were listed as down from unknown causes. The plane losses, exceeded only on last August 7 when seven went down, were announced as ground fighting flared in scattered areas of Levinson, Las Vegas hotel and gambling entrepreneur, and Benjamin B.

Sigelbaum of Miami, and the SheratonCarlton Hotel suite of Fred B. Black, a Washington lobbyist. Baker was a business associate of all three. William O. Bittman, Justice Department attorney, said in opposing the defense motion that the evidence on which the indictment was South Viet Nam.

Much of the fighting was within a 30-mile radius of Saigon, the South Vietnamese capital. In another action today, 23 miles north of Saigon, a unit of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division killed two Viet Cong during Operation Bismarck and located a newly constructed enemy camp a mile away. As these infantrymen moved in on the camp they came under Viet Cong fire and called in air and artillery support. Late today, the action was reported still under way.

Embassy by FBI The inauguration on Monday of Governor John A. Burns will not be delayed by the suit filed by loser Randolph A. Crossley. Crossley yesterday filed a suit in Circuit Court asking for a new election and a recount of the November 8 ballots. Legal sources said that if the court should declare Crossley the winner, it would mean only that a new inauguration would be held.

The State Constitution says the term of a Governor ends at noon on the first Monday in December, following the general election. The State would be without a Governor if the inauguration should be delayed and the Constitution does not contemplate such a possibility. The ceremonies will start at 11:30 a.m. Monday on the Iolani Palace grounds. Burns's running mate, Thomas P.

Gill, probably will become a "double-defendant" when he is sworn in as Lieutenant Governor. Named as defendants are Burns, Gill and Lieutenant Governor Andrew T. F. Ing, who was in charge of the November 8 election. Ing steps out as Lieutenant Governor Monday, and lawyers say he may be separated from the court case.

Gill thus would become a double defendant because he is one of the winning candidates and also he will be the Lieutenant Governor, in charge of all election matters. Crossley and his running mate, Dr. George H. Mills, called for a new election in their suit and cited 15 reasons. Q-What do you think of Hawaii, and what do you like best about Hawaii? love it.

During argument by counsel, allusion was made to certain conversations that had been impounded by the judge and not made public.

'But I'm no Marrying Sam' Chaplain busy man as Rand spurs weddings By LYLE NELSON Military Writer "I'm not Marrying Sam," says the Army chaplain at Fort DeRussy.

But he has tied the knot five times for servicemen arriving here from Viet Nam on five-day rest and recreation combat breaks. Captain Wayne C. King will marry only those couples who meet his marriage standards. He refuses to run a marriage factory at DeRussy. Naturally a few war-weary and troops think in terms of having sweethearts wing in from the Mainland for a Waikiki rendezvous.

King wants correspondence from the prospective bride and bridegroom and either their parents or minister before the bachelor soldier shows up on a plane from Saigon or Da Nang. "And then I want to talk to them for at least three hours first," King said. If certain personal standards of his are not met, "I tell them to go to some other minister. Or if neither is interested in religion I tell them to go to a justice of the peace," he says. King, a Baptist, has married five and men since August and he knows of several other marriages where a Catholic chaplain or a chaplain at a base other than DeRussy performed the rites.

"The weddings were both big and small," he said. "One retired Army sergeant major here had his daughter marry a captain from Viet Nam and it was a pretty sizeable wedding," he said.
