"More and more visitors are deeply interested in historical matters and the more time that goes by, the more that is lost." "This is the kind of program that will save, explain and bring out things that are uniquely Hawaii," said Miss Silverman. By Helen Altonn Star-Bulletin Writer The State is building a ieam of experts to bolster its efforts to save the things that are historically unique to Hawaii, before it is too late. Two new positions are planned for the program in the Parks Division of the State Department of Land and Natural Resources: A curator-consultant to "coordinate the restoration of Iolani Palace and lolani greater responsibility for historic preservation and authority to develop a strong program.

Congress also passed a law encouraging historic preservation efforts across the nation. Both laws call for comprehensive statewide inventories, plans and programs. The federal act authorizes 50 per cent matching funds for planning. Upon completion of the plan, 50 per cent is available in grants for preservation, acquisition and development. Gene E.

"You present the site itself by restoration, providing guides, brochures and other devices, such as visitor orientation centers. "In the old days all we had was a bronze plaque program.

This is completely inadequate for the kind of visi tors we get here." The lolani Palace Throne Room was visited by 90,000 persons during the first six months this year, Miss Silverman noted. "A number of people are anxious to have things shown to them and explained to them," she said. "You can't just go and look at a historical site and know what it's all about. "We need a person trained in the field of presenting things." The last State Legislature gave the Land Department Ching, also joined the staff recently to work on archaeological sites. Jane Silverman, the parks historian, said the two new positions will allow her to concentrate on a comprehensive statewide historical survey and plan.

Asked if he would support a rabies inoculation law for animals, Burns said, "No, not unless the experts say we need a law." Under the new civilian testing system, the Department of Agriculture will not report results of rabies tests unless they are confirmed by Mainland laboratories.

One reason for the switch from the Schofield lab to the State facility is that the State has acquired a new fluorescent microscope, which is needed for one of the rabies test techniques, a spokesman said. Col. William S. Gochenour the Army's foremost expert in veterinary laboratory medicine, said today at a Ft. Shatter news conference that his role in the Inspector General's investigation will be to determine the validity of the Schofield laboratory procedures.

"My purpose is not to establish the presence of rabies here or the non-presence of rabies," he said. Gochenour, a veterinarian pathologist, is deputy director of the Walter Reed Institute of Research in Washington, D.C. He arrived yesterday and is expected to begin his Schofield lab study today. The work may take several days. "I will review all laboratory procedures and interview personnel.

I will study the source of test material and review lab equipment," he said. It was stressed at the news conference by an Army spokesman that the Inspector General's role is that of a fact-finding group that makes no recommendations. Any punishment would have to be recommended by the commanding general of the Pacific Army Command. Prisoner given second sentence David H.

"Any change from the cargo tonnage basis of the past would be to Matson's benefit." Matson, however, said yesterday the blame belongs to Castle Cooke and the two steamship lines it represents.

Edwin S. Wong, Matson director of industrial relations, said Castle and Cooke was the only one among the 10 stevedoring firms that make up the industry committee to vote against the arbitration proposal. Wong, emphatically denying Scott's allegations, said the committee's voting has to be unanimous and Castle and Cooke's disagreement can veto any proposal by itself. Wong said as far as Mat-son is concerned the tonnage assessment basis expired with the five-year contract signed in 1961. He said Matson would be negligent to its customers if it did not seek an alternative method because the tonnage basis makes container shipping disproportionately expensive.

The industry committee's week-long series of meetings ground to a halt yesterday and there is no indication of when they might resume, although are "on call." sj. i VATICAN CITY (AP) Informed sources reported today Pope Paul VI will undergo the operation for his prostate condition almost certainly by Nov. 10. The informants said a room on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace is being prepared as an operating room. They said the Pope's official activities would stop after the formal closing of the bishops' synod on Sunday to permit him a period of rest in preparation for surgery.

The precise date of the surgery has still to be fixed but the sources said it probably would be toward the end of next week or a few days thereafter. The timing was described as planned to give the 70-year old pontiff adequate time to convalesce for his usual heavy round of official appearances and speeches for Christmas. The room being fitted for the operation was once used Tadao Beppu, were also 45 to 55 miles an jr, John Titchen. tleneck where KaimuM and St. Louis Heights traffic enters the superhighway at Old Waialae Road.

Traffic speeding across the new interchange was so heavy that cars had trouble getting on the freeway. The Old Waialae Road acceleration lane is short and enters the superhighway on a curve. Cautious drivers, unaccustomed to the new traffic pattern were stopping in the acceleration lane. Having done so, they couldn't get safely on the freeway. The result was a continuing backup of traffic.

Missing hiker turns up safe A Kaimuki man spent the night in the hills above Aiea after being trapped by darkness on a hike. H. David Meyers, 40, of 1033 16th walked out to safety at about 9 a.m., as firemen were preparing to resume searching for him. He had been overdue from a hike up the Aiea Loop Trail to Kamehameha Schools since 3 p.m. yesterday.

Meyers, an assistant cashier with the First National Bank and the father of four children, said the trial was unfamiliar and he was hindered by unexpected "obstacles," including several waterfalls. He walked out of the Red Hill area today and phoned his wife. Mrs. Meyers said, "He's tired and sore. He had a breakfast of bacon, eggs, guava nectar and Ovaltine and fell asleep." She doesn't think the experience will stop him from hiking, because "he loves it." Pair charged in $1 holdup A urloughing soldier and a Kalihi man were charged with first degree robbery in a $1 holdup last weekend.

Police said the two men, Milton K. Vicens, 18, of the 1700 block of Eluwene and Mack Saumalu, 21, who is on leave from a Louisiana Army post, robbed Eugene Foster, 37 of Gardenia Street. Foster had picked them up in his car Saturday night, police said. and was robbed at knifepoint on Kohou Street Yesterday it tok 35 minutes for a harried rush-hur motorist to drive the 5.8 miles from the a i a 1 a Shopping Center to the News 'BuildiB ia downtown Honolulu-Today it took 24 minutes to make the same trip.

The new interchange today carried them swiftly over the intersection.

According Campaign Chairman Douglas S. Guild, the total is $33,722.32 more than the same employes gave last year.

He said the 3899 employes averaged $70.39 each. The i per capita came from the seven employes of Brown Management who gave $187 each for a $1,309 total. The largest employe donation, however, came from the Hawaiian Telephone Co. The telephone company's 2.394 givers donated $99,540.65. compared to last year's $77,480.

The average was $41.38. Seven of the firms qualified for the award for the second year. The award is earned when 85 per cent of a firm's employes subscribe to the Fund's suggested "fair share" scale of giving What's behind dock stoppage With the use of antibiotics the doctors brought the inflammation sufficiently under control to allow the Pope to see the bishops' synod through to its end. The Pope's doctors made it clear after an extensive series of tests in September that surgery would be needed to correct what they diagnosed as an enlarged prostate gland causing the inflammation. Head syn of Whistler-Patri Associates of San Francisco, said Hawaii residents should not be overly concerned with only one area of Diamond Head.

He warned of the necessity of continuing to preserve green, open areas from Ala Moana Park to Kahala. "We should not take these areas for granted just because they have open space now," he said. "In many cases they provide the only view slots of Diamond Head. As an example he referred to fire station on Kapahulu Avenue and the Ala Wai. "If it had been built one story higher one of the best view slots of Diamond Head from the Ala Wai would have been blocked," VanDorpe said.

There should be a maximum height limit of 60 feet for all major view slots of Diamond Head from Ala Moana Park to the Wailupe peninsula, and from the sea to Dole Street, he said. Another safeguard VanDorpe recommends is the banning of all high-rise development on the mauka half of Magic Island, where the parking lot is now located. He also asked for a 60-foot height limit on construction between the University of Hawaii and Diamond Head. VanDorpe, president of Pacific Planners also gave the land department more than 1,000 photos, models and overlays as suggested means of protecting the Diamond Head view. On probation Circuit Judge Herman T.

But the new freeway links don't do anything to unclog downtown driving conditions.

Rush-hour traffic rolls smoothly along the freeway only to grind to halt after halt when it encounters the near-downtown streets. A Star Bulletin reporter kept a log of his trip from Waialae into town this morning. This is what he recorded: From the Waialae Shopping Center to Keeaumoku Street on the freeway. Distance: 4.4 miles. Driving time: 6 minutes.

Stops: None. From the end of the freeway to the News Building. Distance: 1.4 miles. Driving time: 20 minutes. Stops: 16.

W. Gochenour Jr. Health Dept. indicates doubt of rabies here The State Health Department today gave the first public indication that it has doubts about the presence of rabies on Oahu. The doubt was expressed in a circular to Island physicians.

It said: Due to the uncertainty about the presence of rabies on Oahu and the absence of National Communicable Disease Center confirmation of initial laboratory reports, we cannot recommend anti-rabies treatment of rodent bites without reservation, even, if the bite can be classed as "provoked." "The same can be said of cat scratches, which are very common. "Persons experiencing severe unprovoked bites by the usual rabies transmitters dogs, cats and mongooses would be candidates for immediate treatment as outlined in the 'Guide for Post-Exposure Rabies Prophylaxis" if rabies were known to be present or if the likelihood of rabies being present was sufficient to override the possible side effects of the anti-rabies therapy Oahu's traffic toll TO DATE THIS YEAR DEAD 86 INJURED 5,620 TO DATE If 78 5,309 Continued from Page 1 sessment on a man-hour basis. "After a very candid discussion, Powell, even though he realized Matson could end up paying more, less or the same, agreed to accept binding arbitration," Wight said. Matson agreed to assessment by tonnage from July 1, 1S66, the starting date of the ILWU contract, until Dec. 31, 1967, with assessment procedure for the rest of the contract to be arbitrated.

However, Wight said, the other two lines have left little doubt that they want no part of binding arbitration. Representatives of States Lines and States Marine-Isthmian who sat in on the stevedoring committee meetings left for San Francisco yesterday with the question completely unresolved. The Matson representative was to leave today. John H. Scott, vice-president for shipping for Castle and Cooke, parent firm of Castle and Cooke Terminals, also laid the blame for the disagreement at the feet of the shipping companies.

But he put most of the blame on Matson.
