County Civil Defense officials said the only immediate threat came from the fumes. Some people had trouble breathing the smoky air and re quired emergency treatment at Hilo Hospital. Others were moved to air-conditioned rooms or evacuated to other points on the island. Civil Defense Director Harry Kim ordered an islandwide ban on burning to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Trade winds began to return by mid-morning and carried much of the pollution out to sea. By nightfall, Hilo was almost back to normal. Residents in Glenwood, Volcano and in Ka'u as far south as Hawaiian Ocean View Estates reported some clearing of the air. But Hawaii Volcanoes National Park spokesman Jon Erick-son said the sulfur smell still permeated the southern side of the island. Kim said he met with state health officials, who promised to monitor the air in Kona, Wai-mea.

Hilo and Puna. Lisa Kaneshiro of the American Lung Association urged residents to take several precautions. Kaneshiro said residents with breathing problems especially should remain inside, avoid exertion, use an air conditioner or air purifier and increase their intake of liquids to reduce congestion. She also urged runners to take a day off. "This is a terrible time to jog," she said.

The fountaining died out by midafternoon, but scientists anticipated more. The fiery show by Madame Pele, the volcano goddess of Hawaiian lore, posed no immediate threat to settled areas. The site is about five miles above the nearest of those, the sparsely inhabited Royal Gardens subdivision south of Kalapana.

But air pollution from the activity caused a great deal of discomfort to residents in Hilo, Puna and Ka'u because of unusual kona (southerly) winds that trapped the heavy, sulfur-laden fumes. In its first 18 hours of activity, the eruption caused no known damage except to parts of the Napau rain forest, a prized centuries-old native stand. Unfortunately for amateur volcano watchers, the action was accessible only by air. Continued inflation or swelling at Kilauea's summit and on-rushing harmonic tremor caused by magma sliding underground from the summit into the rift of the volcano were regarded as key signs pointing to more action.

The schools now serve 2,850 full-time and 9,000 part-time students, which they say represents about one-quarter of all school-age youth of Hawaiian ancestry in the state. Midkiff, who became president of Kamehameha Schools in 1923 when its enrollment was 343 students, said "it is my sincere hope that my successor (as a trustee) will have training and experience as an educator." He said he considers the estate "first and foremost an education institution," and that the primary responsibility of its trustees is to ensure that its programs "offer meaningful education to the Hawaiian people."

But he said McClellan helped him to an office and offered some bandages. He accepted the physician's car and repaired it the next day. Mazer was treated at the St. Francis Hospital emergency room. Attorney David Schutter, who represents Mazer, said his client underwent surgery on the arm and traveled to the Mainland for treatment.

He said Mazer at one time had hoped to be a surgeon but, partly as the result of the attack, is now practicing psychiatry. Schutter said he has not heard of a higher amount for this type of case here. According to the court file, $300,000 was the policy limit on McClellan's insurance for bodily injuries.

The president has completed his review of most of the reductions that will be contained in the budget he will send to Congress Jan. 31 for fiscal 1984, which begins Oct. 1, the officials said. The government actually will spend more for civilian programs during fiscal 1984 than in the current fiscal year. Spending rises every year for several reasons: many programs have benefits linked; to the rate of inflation, and some activities By Ken Kobayashi Advertiser Staff Writer A 30-year-old doctor who was bitten by a guard dog has obtained an out-of-court settlement of $300,000, believed to be the largest amount ever for a dog-bite case in Hawaii.

The doctor, Neal S. Mazer, was attacked by a 60-pound, part-Akita and part-German shepherd dog when he dropped off a car for repairs at the JAYMAC Co. at its former location on Waialae Avenue on Sept. 4, 1979. The dog belonged to JAY-MAC owner John H.

McClel-lan III, who acknowledged that "Puhi" bit employees before that date, but he also said the dog had never previously bitten any customers. According to an affidavit submitted by Mazer, the doctor walked to the front of the car and called out, "Hello." Without any warning, the dog attacked and bit his right thigh, his right flank and Midkiff's announcement came within an hour of the seating of former Chief Justice William Richardson as the newest Bishop Estate trustee. Richardson, named by the justices in November to succeed trustee Hung Wo Ching effective Jan. 1. attended his first meeting of the trustees yesterday.

Minutes after the brief ceremony welcoming Richardson, Midkiff delivered his retirement letter to each fellow trustee and each associate justice of the court. Acting Chief Justice Herman T.F. Lum said yesterday the justices have decided to wait until a new chief justice is named before actually choosing the next Bishop Estate trustee. Capitol observers said it may be April before a new chief justice is nominated by the Judicial Selection Commission, appointed by the governor and reviewed by the Senate. But Lum said the wait for a new chief justice will not prevent persons interested in the Bishop Estate post from submit- See Midkiff on Page A-4 By Walter Wright Advertiser Staff Writer Frank E.

Midkiff yesterday announced his intention to retire after more than four decades as a trustee of the Bishop Estate, saying he wants another educator to succeed him. Midkiff, 95, said "my declining physical health is making it increasingly difficult for me to continue to serve to my fullest capacity." He asked the justices of the state Supreme Court to appoint a successor, and said his retirement would be effective when the new trustee takes office. Midkiff's announcement immediately renewed the Bishop Estate sweepstakes, a competition among the most powerful and capable of Hawaii's political, business and community leaders to see who will win the position which now pays about $213,000 a year in commissions. The five trustees administer the $1.5 billion estate of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, using revenues from its vast landholdings to operate the grow along with the rise in population. Some expenditures increase as the economy runs into difficulties, with Washington paying out more for unemployment benefits and welfare programs.

The automatic expansion of federal spending, at a time when revenues are lagging because jot the recession, made it necessary to seek significant budget changes, according to the administration officials.

Reports of that decision came as the 98th Congress, more heavily Democratic than its predecessor, was being sworn in. The $30 billion would be trimmed from the level of domestic spending in the next fiscal year that otherwise would be automatic under current law. By changing laws and regulations, Congress can reduce the rate of growth in federal spending.
