"The three-year arrangement with the correctional facilities in Texas is beneficial both to the state and Hawaii's inmate population," said Gov. Ben Cayetano in a prepared statement today.

"When you are an inmate, you lose certain rights," said Department of Public Safety spokesman Gregg Takayama. "One is the right to determine where you will be incarcerated. "As long as conditions are safe and humane, it's the responsibility of the Department of Public Safety to determine where you will be incarcerated," he added. Cayetano said the move was made quietly for security reasons. The move was made because of prison overcrowding and to ease the high cost of housing inmates in Hawaii.

But Farrell said they could rise to 8 to 15 feet by late afternoon and larger before midnight.

A high-surf advisory remained in effect for the north and west shores of all islands. The waves are being generated by a large storm system in the mid-Pacific that has existed for several days and is still strong, Farrell said. He said surf is expected to diminish to the 8-to-15-f oot range tomorrow night and continue at that level through Saturday. A westerly shift means the waves will hit the coastline of the North Shore which actually faces more west than north more directly, he said. A Civil Defense of ficial, meanwhile, said the agency continues to monitor several beachfront homes on the North Shore, some of which are in danger of slipping into the ocean due to wave-induced erosion.

Nearly two-thirds were convicted criminals. "We are attacking the problem of illegal immigration on every front at the border, in the legal system and in the workplace," said Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick. The report comes as conservative Republicans in Congress push for measures to reduce legal immigration into the United States and keep illegal immigrants from U.S. Jobs. Immigration is expected to be a major issue during the 1996 presidential race, especially in border states such as California and Texas.

In Hawaii, officials said about 100 illegal Mexican immigrants had been arrested by September, twice as many as during the same period last year. Overall, 300 to 350 illegal immigrants had been arrested in Hawaii as of September. INS Commissioner Doris Meis-sner credited the increase in deportations to better border enforcement and increased vigilance in kicking out criminal illegal immigrants after they have served prison terms. Meanwhile, a separate interagency report warned of "a growing trade in human cargo" and said smugglers are becoming more sophisticated and aggressive. "This is a serious problem," Meissner said.

"This is heavily organized activity that uses sophisticated methods." The report came after a nine-month study by the State Department, Justice Department, INS, Coast Guard, CIA and FBI. It was sent to the White House last month. The report recommends dedicating more resources to fighting immigrant smuggling and expanding the United States' overseas enforcement capability. "The report is being examined very closely here at the White House," said presidential press secretary Mike McCurry. The report blames official corruption and lax law enforcement in several countries from China and Europe to Central America for the flow of thousands of illegal aliens worldwide, many into the United States.

The INS deportation programs have been emphasized in five states, Illinois, Texas, Florida, California and New York, where large numbers of immigrants try to sneak into the United States, often in search of work.

Three locally produced morning shows alone on KHON, KITV and KHNL will provide viewers with 6Vi hours a day of news programming. Currently, one hour is broadcast by each of those three stations. The majority of the 'new news shows will begin early in the morning: KHNL, which will become the NBC affiliate Jan. 1, will broadcast eight hours of weekday morning news programs from 1 to 9 a.m.

KITV, the ABC affiliate, will broadcast seven hours of news from 2 to 9 a.m. KHON will have three hours of news from 5 to 8 a.m. KGMB will broadcast two and a half hours from 5:30 to 8 a.m. "Yes, a lot more people will be watching television in the morning," said Kent Baker, KHON's news director. KHON's top-rated Channel 2 Morning News with Leslie Wilcox, which now airs from 6 to 7 a.m., will run from 5:30 to 8 a.m.

The program will be co-hosted by Ron Mizutani. KITV and KHNL will enter the morning news arena a half-hour earlier with 5 to 7 a.m. shows. KITV's "Good Morning Hawaii" will feature Paul Udell, Kathy Muneno and Tiny Tadani. KHNL's "NBC Hawaii News 8 Today" has Lee Cataluna and Guy Hagi.

KGMB has no current plans for a locally produced morning show, said Dick Grimm, general manager. The station's 5:30 to 8 a.m. slots are taken up by network broadcasts.
