First Assistant U.S. Atty. Harold M. Fong represented the government during the tvo-day jury-waived trial.

Fong presented evidence to show that federal agents and Honolulu police raided McShane's girlfriend's home in Aiea July 7 and seized the shotgun and three handguns. McShane and his girlfriend were there during the raid. HE COULD receive 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on -the first two counts, and two years' imprisonment and a $10,000 fine on the third count. He has been convicted for assault and battery" with a weapon, sodomy, first-degree burglary and escape. McShane did not offer any' evidence during the trial.

During hearings on his motion to suppress the guns and his confession last month, however, he said the guns were brought to him by a person he would not name. McShane said he was holding the guns because of some trouble he had experienced earlier in a bar. He also testified police coerced him to confess by holding his girlfriend.

Francis J. Kennedy, business manager for the Inter-national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1260, said contract negotiations between the two parties have collapsed. He said future meetings are subject to call by either side but the union has no plans for calling another session. Asked if the IBEW's 60 members at the Kauai utility may go on a strike, Kennedy said, "yes." Local 1260's contract expired on August 31.

"IN TOKYO today, everything is very, fast moving. The people are thinking of their lives, what they're going to do. They're very competitive. They have no time for thinking about the policy toward the royal family." The prince, who holds a political science degree from Keio University, said he is called either Prince or Mr.

Higashikuni. He added that he is generally recognized on the street by people as part of the royal family.

He said that the days of the people expecting their rulers to be gods are over, but royalty commands popular respect and is influential in many subtle ways. Higashikuni looks every inch a prince.

il over 60 years of Experience, Dedication and Thoughtfulness By Chuck Frankel Star-Bulletin Writer Some short reviews: O. A. Bushnell, a professor of medical history at the University of Hawaii, is one of the best practitioners in the field of fiction and history writing in the Islands. "The Return of Lono, a Novel of Captain Cook's Last Voyage," was first published in 1956. It now is reprinted by the University of Hawaii Press as the first book in its new paperback series entitled Pacific Classics.

Bushnell's work is a first-class piece of historical fiction. There is a most interest confrontation between Captain Cook and William Bligh, who later earned infamy as the captain on the Bounty. Other works in the Pacific Classics series are "In the South Seas," by Robert Louis Stevenson, and "My Sa-moan Chief," by Fay C. Calkins. Ted Mina Res.

I It moves quickly, has some good dialogue and description, but his gimmick was done earlier and better in "The Manchurian Candidate." Elizabeth Wittermans, a member of the University of Hawaii faculty, has written a short novel, "Bird of Paradise," published by Vantage Press. It is not a good novel. The characters and situations are stereotypes, but we have certainly met them in our day-to-day Island life. It does have an interesting Island flavor, a useful commentary on Island society. A government worker says: "Yet every time we see another haole getting appointed to a position where he tells us what to do because only he seems to know what's good for us "And, oh, yes, another funny thing is the maiden speech That speech always has the same ingredients: first a praise of Hawaii, its environment, structure, then the terrific opportunities Hawaii presents (and that nobody has apparently seen before), and finally the great challenge And they explain that it's those things, the potential and the challenge, that have induced them to accept this position." Yes, Elizabeth, I've heard that speech, many times, too.

"Hawaiian Tales," published by Harlo Press, is by Allan Beekman, in collaboration with his wife, Take. These are not polished literary gems, but they too have a feeling for Island life. The first of the stories is set in Oahu of about 1910 and the last of about 1950. If you want to know about the feelings of the Japanese community, this might serve better than a formal history.
