Marcos and his entourage were expected to stay at guest quarters at Hickam. After leaving the plane, Marcos was whisked away in a black limousine and taken to guest quarters on the base. The rest of the party was taken by cars and vans to other base quarters.

The U.S. government escort on the military transport was Lt. Gen. Teddi Allen of the Joint Military Forces in the Philippines. MEANWHILE, outside the Hickam gate, about 200 pro-Marcos demonstrators gathered.

Several city police officers kept watch but made no arrests. There were conflicting reports Turn to Page A-3, Col. 1 By June Watanabe Star-Bulletin Writer. Deposed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, accompanied by 88 family members and supporters, arrived in Honolulu late this morning, a day after leaving the country he ruled for two decades. Under clear skies and tight security, Marcos, unsteady on his feet, stepped off a military aircraft and onto the tarmac at Hickam Air Force Base.

The arrival was watched closely by security forces and news media representatives from throughout the world. The base was closed minutes before Marcos' plane touched down at 10:42 a.m. WITH MARCOS were his wife, Imelda; Gen. Fabian Ver, a close ally and former chief of his nation's armed forces; and Ver's wife. Also on the military jet were members of Marcos' immediate family, including his children and grandchildren.

An Air Force press spokesman said the U.S. government would not make public the passenger list. Marcos and his entourage left Andersen Air Base on Guam at 4 a.m. Hawaii time aboard a camouflaged Air Force C-141 aircraft. After the plane taxied to the reception area at Hickam, there was a 10-minute wait before Marcos emerged.

Wearing a tan golf jacket and hat, the 68-year-old Marcos had to be helped down the steps of the aircraft. He leaned on the shoulder of a customs official in front of him as he shuffled from the plane.

AFTER LEAVING the plane, Jean Ariyoshi, the wife of the governor, draped an orange and brown cigar lei over Marcos' thin shoulders. She embraced him for a few seconds; his face remained expressionless.

Gov. George Ariyoshi gave a Maunaloa-style vanda lei to Imel-da Marcos, catching the garland on her sunglasses for a moment as she stood on a faded red carpet placed over the tarmac. Marcos made no speeches nor did he looked toward the news reporters and photographers who stood about 100 yards from the plane. News crews from all three major U.S. television networks and several international news organizations from London, Japan, Canada and Germany were there.

Marcos' daughters left the plane after their mother and were carrying several boxes of disposable diapers. Their children tumbled around outside the plane. By Tim Ryan Star-Bulletin Writer Ferdinand Marcos squinted into the bright Hawaiian sunshine as he stepped from a military jet this morning. The tan golf hat he wore did not help keep the sun out of his eyes. His arrival in the Islands was a sharp contrast to the ceremony and festivities of previous visits when crowds gathered with flags and flowers to greet the man who was president of the Philippines for 20 years.

Today's event was somber and restrained; just a few dignitaries waited on the tarmac at Hickam Air Force Base when Marcos' plane landed. About 300 others were gathered, but most of them were military officials, news reporters and photographers. In what military officials called some of the tightest security ever in Hawaii there were at least 200 security people in the area members of the news media were carefully checked to Marcos' arrival on Guam yesterday was also low-keyed. Few people, other than security forces and government and military officials, were on hand to greet him. Marcos reportedly left the Philippines on a stretcher.

He did, however, move slowly down the steps of the plane, leaning on a supporting shoulder of a customs official.
