Alaska route Also at the press conference was Arthur G.

Wood-ley, president of Pacific Northern Airlines, which is being merged with Western. (It is pending government approval.) Pacific Northern is proposing an Anchorage-Honolulu route and feels it has "very great potential" including the cargo exchange of seafood from Alaska and fresh produce from Hawaii. Woodley says he envisions three flights per week at the first, later increasing to a daily service. In supporting its case for Neighbor Island development, Western pledged to invest $100,000 a. year in a Western Council for Hawaiian Development.

Its major endeavor would be directed to continued expansion of the Islands' principal industries tourism, agriculture and commerce. "The big job is development of the Neighbor Islands. This has been all but ignored by the other airlines and the C.A.B.," Westwood said. Robber given 20 years Lawrence Y. Okudara, 27, of the 700 block of Hoawa Street, was sentenced yesterday in Circuit Court to 20 3rears in prison for the first-degree robbery of Dote's Market in Kaneohe September 28.

They felt they could identify with him and in one local poll, voted him as one of their five most admired persons, along with President Johnson, Martin Luther i the late President Kennedy and his widow, Jacqueline. Kui's last public appearance was the night of October 18 at the Waikiki Shell, when 10,000 persons jammed the Shell to overflowing for an Aloha Week presentation.

Kui was supposed to sing his new song, but couldn't and wife Nani sang it for him. He walked from his wheelchair to the microphone and told the throng some stories, apologized for not being able to sing and at the completion of Nani's vocal, left the Shell. 2 workers are injured Two workmen were confined in "satisfactory" condition last night with injuries from separate accidents at Honolulu construction sites.

Box 330, Honolulu toY7 other carriers were essentially interested in the Pacific routes beyond Hawaii to the Orient and South Pacific. Since Lihue Airport cannot accommodate jets, Drinkwater said he was confident the Department of Defense would open up Barking Sands for commercial jet flights. Big potential Western attorney Howard Westwood said Maui and Kauai present the same type of "glittering potential" that the Big Island now offers for direct jet flights. "We first proposed service to Hilo in 1959, and everyone shrugged it off as a wild dream," he said. Fares proposed by West-ern include: $80 one-way economy; $120 first-class between the West Coast and Hawaii; 25 percent discounts to Island residents; and special group fares from $100 to $150 round-trip.

Western further has a "family reunion" iare for from $2.71 for some ground service workers to $3.55 for mechanics for a 40-hour week. Stewardesses averaged $419 a month and purs-, ers, or chief stewardesses, $570 a month, based on 67 flight hours in jets. The union had originally sought a 30 percent increase over two years, but reportedly scaled this down during the negotiations. Pan Am said it had received 700 reservation cancellations a day since the union announced Tuesday that it might strike. Kui Lee is Continued from Page 1 hair grow long and spent most of his time (when he wasn't composing or entertaining at the old Kalia Gardens and later at Queen's Surf) surfing and playing the role of the beach boy.

"Why not?" he often said of this role. "I'm a Hawaiian and this is Hawaii. You're supposed to be relaxed." Kui had been entertaining with -Sterling Mossman, a longtime idol and friend when a chance came to play at Kanaka Pete's in Lahai-na, Maui. It was during his engagement there more than a year ago that doctors discovered cancer in his neck and sinus passages. "I suspected I had it, but hated to go to any doctor," he said.

Kui then began his engagement at Kalia Gardens (now Hale Ho) and for the first time in Honolulu, he was a hit. This led to his i i for the Queen's Surf's Surf Lanai and he set all kinds of attendance records there. Night after night crowds would line up outside the nightclub, waiting to come in to hear Kui tell his stories of Papakolea and Hawaii and sing his songs some of them protest songs, but most of them about his romance with his beloved Hawaii. He once- said, while at QueenJs Surf: "I'm in a hurry and have a story to tell. I want the world to know what's wrong with it.

I hope I can help it out." He sought relief from cancer in hospitals here, on the Mainland and in Mexico. In Mexico, physicians used a drug, Laetrile, which is not in use in the United States. While in Queen's Hospital, he began composing again, and also doing a little painting. He also organized a surfing team to help out young surfers and continued to build up the trust fund he established for needy Hawaiian youngsters from Papakolea. His popularity, though, remained at a peak unrivalled for an Hawaiian entertainer.

While the late Alfred Apaka, Premier Sato Western Airlines yester day outlined its ambitious bid for Hawaii service- and said the heart of the airline's application is Neighbor Island development. Terrell Drinkwater, president, said in a press conference that Western intends to: 1 Kauai, Maui, Hawaii and Oahu with direct non-stop service to and from the Mainland. 2 Build a stewardess college for the- training of 50Q young women on a Neighbor Island. 3 Introduce low fares, including special discounts for local residents, a $100 round-trip fare for Islanders attending college on the Mainland and a $100 round-trip fare for groups of 150 or more. Drinkwater said, "Western is the only carrier which has filed for service to all of the Neighbor Islands.

Our primary concentration' is Hawaii." He said, in contrast, many The union contended that the recommendation was only a basis for further" negotiations. Up until yester-' day, at least, the airline had said it would not accept any contract with a cost impact exceeding the recommenda-r tion. 1 The union represents 9,600 mechanics, truck drivers and plane cleaners, 2,900 pursers and stewardesses, and 500 port stewards or food handlers. According to Pan Am, under the old contract, the average hourly wages ranged LBJ begins goodwill four of Mexico CIUDAD ACUNA, Mexico (U I) President Johnson flew South of the Border today to tour an international dam and embrace Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Or-d a on an international bridge. He received a tumultuous welcome from an estimated 20.000 to 30,000 cheering Mexicans.

The two presidents met on the yellow center line of the International Bridge over the Rio Grande between Del Rip, Texas, and Ciudad Acu-na, then made a triumphal motorcade entrance to the Mexican city's town plaza. Then they toured the construction site of the $78 million Amistad "friendship" dam. The two chief executives rode in a state limousine nearly covered with confetti past packed crowds of Mexicans shouting "viva!" "Once again we fulfill the mission of greeting you to Mexican territory cordially in honest and clean friendship," Diaz Ordaz told Johnson, who was making his third trip to Mexico as President. "Now we greet you here in the cradle of our revolution." Standing on a freshly pain ted platform in the packed square, Diaz Ordaz recalled that Johnson in Mexico City last April had said, "There are no armies and guns to defend us" on the mutual U.S. and Mexican borders.

"Now, we may add, that instead of building fortifica-t i 0 we are building a dam." Johnson called the dam "a monument to international cooperation" and a lesson to the world that "two proud and great nations can share a common border in peace and harmony." Johnson and his wife Lady Bird, accompanied by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, In-terior Secretary Stewart Udall, Texas Governor John Connally and other state and Federal officials, flew to Del Rio this morning from Berg-strom Air Force base outside Austin, Texas. Hotel occupancy up for November The larger Waikiki hotels showed an occupancy rate of 78.5 percent in November, an increase of 6.3 percent over the same period in 1965. The smaller- hotels also were up this November from 68.7 last year to 71.5 percttit this year. Favorable reaction to the idea of a spectacular public fireworks display on New Year's Eve has been received by Donald A. Lubitz, associate director of the University of Hawaii communication center.

Lubitz started promoting the idea of reviving Honolulu's colorful rocket extravaganza to greet the New Year when he published an article to that effect in the October St. Louis Heights Association Newsletter. Further publicity followed, and both kamaainas and malihinis began to take interest. "We lost some of the past Hawaiian community spirit when we lost the individual unique expression of greet-i the New Year with rockets, which set Hawaii off as unique in the world," Lubitz said. "In Hawaii we celebrate the New Year in somewhat The union, representing 13,000 ground and flight personnel, postponed any strike action after receiving a new contract offer from the airline shortly before the deadline.

Five hours later, the union announced it had accepted Pan Am's new" offer which Matthew Guinan, T.W.U. international president, e-s i as "a reasonable and just settlement." Neither side would disclose the terms of the settlement pending a vote by union members next week. of an Oriental manner with fireworks and rockets, but we celebrate it on the Occidental New Year's date. "This is truly a bridge between East and West and reflects our link between the two. "This is the type of event that can be promoted to bring tourists to Hawaii who might otherwise go to Nassau, Miami or other winter vacation spots.

"This could be particularly significant in attracting the East Coast tourist trade that now goes other places. "It's common to look for fireworks on the 4th of July, but we're unique for fireworks on New Year's." Vincent Van Brocklin, a long-time resident of Black Point, agrees with Lubitz and is talking up the idea of fireworks 0 New Year's with his Black Point neighbors. Legislative interest has signs marched at campus gates. Among those demanding a classroom boycott is Mario Savio, a leader of the Berkeley campus political freedom demonstrations in 1964, which resulted in the arrest of 700 persons. Savio, no longer a student, was among the 10 arrested Wednesday.

Savio's application for readmission earlier this year was turned the university said, because it was too late. Heyns yesterday refused to negotiate the crisis with the 23-year-old Savio, only nonstudent on a seven-man negotiating committee. A one point, a strike leader, Ira Ruskin, told a crowd, "Heyns had better accept the nonstudent (Savio) we have sent." "Accept and ob.ey the prescribed rules or get out," Governor-elect Reagan advised Berkeley dissidents. "The people of California," he told a Los Angeles news conference, "provide free access to an education unmatched anywhere in the world. They have a right to lay down rules and a code of conduct for those who accept that gi Referring to faculty members joining the student protest, he said: "If any employee of the does, not dot his job, he has served notice of his intent to quit." Reagan repeated a campaign pledge that John McCone, former head xi the C.I.A., would be asked to heiv a Guinan told newsmen that there had been some dissenters among the union negotiators.

He said, however, that the majority of the union's 15-man negotiating committee voted to accept the contract and recommend it to the membership. The original dispute stemmed from a presidential fact-finding board's recommendation for a 15 percent wage increase over a 2'2-year period retroactive to last July 1, when the old contracts were opened for revision. been expressed by Percy K. Mirikitani. a recent winner in the 6th Senatorial District race, who will seek bi-partisan support for legislation recognizing fireworks on New Year's as an annual State event.

He added this would help police and fire departments to curb unlawful attempts to make homemade rockets, which are hazardous. The Waikiki Jaycees, 507-491, are willing to coordinate the fireworks for New Year's project, but it can only become a reality if individuals will send them donations to finance it. "They're holding a special meeeing on Tuesday to evaluate public response," Lubitz said. probe of the Berkeley campus troubles. Reagan will become governor January 2.

N-device exploded in Mississippi HATTIESBURG, Miss. (UP I) A nuclear device equivalent to 350 tons of T.N.T. was exploded in a Mississippi salt dome today to test America's ability to detect underground nuclear explosions. The blast in the Tatum salt dome in rural Lamar County occurred at 7:15 a.m. E.S.T., 15 minutes later than scheduled to allow for "marginal daylight" so that planes with monitoring equipment could get into the air.

Newsmen at: a point Vz miles from ground zero said they felt no shock wave and the only indication of the blast came from monitoring equipment at the vantage point. Residents of the area were evacuated Friday night and 1 a enforcement officers sealed off the area with tight security. The detonation, dubbed Project Sterling, was the second of a series of three handled by the Atomic Energy Commission under a defense department program. Project -Dribble was ignited successfully in August, 1964.

Tadao Kuraishi, 66, an expert of labor problems, was given the Portfolio of Agriculture and Industry, and Ta-keo Ohashi, 62, who held key cabinet posts in the Yoshida and Ikeda cabinets, appointed Transport Minister. Financial business circles reacted favorably to the new cabinet. Commenting on the reshuffle of the administration, Shoshiro Kudo, president of the Tokyo Tomin Bank, said that the new cabinet line-up was "about the best that could be obtained under the present circumstances." Sato faces a stormy Diet session which was formally opened today with a ceremony attended by Emperor Hi-rohito. The Socialists and Democratic Socialists, who have been demanding that the premier dissolve the Diet and call general elections, boycotted a plenary session of the Lower House for the election of its new speaker. Leaders of the Socialist Party adopted a proposal for mass resignation of Socialist members of the House of Representatives as a means to force an early dissolution of the Lower House.

The Democratic Socialist Party reaffirmed its earlier proposition that its Diet members might resign en masse if necessary. The Socialist Party leaders plan to translate the proposal into action through the party's Diet struggle against the government around December 12. The cabinet held its first session after attestation by Emperor Hirohito. weddings Continued from Page 1 nesses," he said. "I go get the and officer and sergeant to witness the ceremony." The ritual usually takes 15 minutes, he said, and the wedding invariably takes place on the first of the man's five days in Hawaii.

"If I think it is a five-day wonder I try to discourage it," he said. "But sometimes couples are hard to discourage. "That's why I like correspondence a month in advance regarding a wedding. "I talk over everything with them pertaining to marriage, budgets, sex, separation, when he goes back to Viet Nam." King said the State waives the four-day waiting period but each couple has to have the Wassermann blood test taken in advance. All couples must appear at the State Health Department building on Punchbowl Street to fill out a marriage license application.

King sometimes drives them there if necessary. King is the only chaplain at DeRussy. "I meet all the incoming and planes, talk to the wives waiting for the plane to see if they have any problems and I'm on hand for each departure," he said. Marrying Viet Nam troops is a small part of King's job. He gives two sermons each Sunday, notifies next of kin of deaths in Viet Nam, talks to servicemen with problems, performs funerals at Punchbowl and lectures on the Army's character guidance series.

King is the son of a Baptist minister and a graduate of Baylor University and the Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. He was principal of the Hawaii Baptist Academy in Honolulu and an Army Reserve chaplain prior to becoming a full-time staffer at Fort DeRussy. King's marriage business probably will pick up once and flights start reaching Honolulu at a one and two-a-day rate. Maybe he will acquire a Li'I Abner "Marrying Sam" repiftation whether he likes it or not.Sv, BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) University 0 California administrators negotiated with student leaders today in the current strife over Navy recruitment on the Berkeley campus.

Governor-elect Ronald Reagan advised insurgent students to "get out" and legislators demanded action against some faculty members. Chancellor Roger W. Heyns blamed the deliberate infractions of outsiders for the clsssroom boycott at the campus by an unknown number of students and teaching assistants. Heyns, who said the strike of classes appeared to have on limited effectiveness, declared that negotiations to end the campus upheaval would involve faculty and students The disruption began Wednesday in the Student Union building during a protest against a Navy recruiting table. Protesters tried to set up a rival table, fighting started and police were called.

Six nonstudents and four students were arrested. A strike of classes was called, and the Teachers Assistants'. Union voted support of demands for approval of non-student activities on the campus.
