weekdays or write: Kokua Line, 'Box 3080, Honolulu Hawaii 96802. i as Meeting with officials a few days ago to discuss City traffic problems, Mr. asked what the various options are to keep traffic moving. They replied that they can widen streets, eliminate street parking, continue to adjust the timing of traffic signals, use cones to give prevailing traffic the temporary use of an additional lane and ban turns. To widen streets takes time and money.

When eliminating parking, many other people are inconvenienced. We've already discussed the banning of turns and will talk about the adjustment of lights and the coning of streets in items to follow. One more thing Mr. is in complete agreement with the traffic men who contend that everyone is a traffic expert! MOON CHUNK Roald 1.5 oz. piece of Moon Loui, 8, the son of Dr.

Wallace Loui, sizes up the rock at the Bishop Museum. Bangkok that the Cambodian government had not asked for troops to help in actual fighting. At Bangkok's Don Muang Airport, Praphas told newsmen that Cambodia had invited Thailand to send a division of Thai troops to Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, to help keep peace there. PRAPHAS SAID the Cambodians feel the situation is "getting out of hand" because the government has had to order its best troops to the countryside, leaving the city defended by old soldiers and students. Immediate aid to Cambodia will consist of 50,000 sets of clothing, shoes, mosquito nets, medical supplies and Thai-made gunboats to patrol the Mekong River, he said.

There was no mention of direct arms aid. Praphas said that diplomatic representatives would be exchanged within a week, ending a nine-year lapse in diplomatic relations between the two Southeast Asian nations. The two governments also agreed to extend mutual border cooperation to prevent infiltrators, cut international crime and set up immigration facilities, he added. EARLIER, in an interview with Western newsmen, For- There have been several items in Kokua Line about the traffic at Auahi, Ward and Ala Moana intersections. You have commented that the traffic department has the area under study.

There is one situation which could be studied in five minutes. At Ward and Ala Moana there are three makai-bound lanes on Ward. One is for left turns, one for straight ahead traffic to Fisherman's Wharf and Kewalo Basin, and one for right turns. The lane for left turns consistently backs up, even beyond the Auahi intersection. The middle lane seldom holds more than one or two cars.

Why not give the middle lane the option of left turn or straight ahead? A Your suggestion may be feasible. The City traffic men will talk it over with their State counterparts, who now have jurisdiction over that intersection. However, the solution you suggest is not that simple. There are complications they must consider. Any double turn (two lanes turning at the same time) is dangerous, especially if there is oncoming traffic from Fisherman's Wharf and Kewalo Basin.

To eliminate that danger, the traffic people would consider a split light such as that at the corner of Kalakaua and Kapiolani. For example, phase of the traffic signal would permit vehicles to move along Ala Moana, another phase would enable traffic to move out of Ward Avenue, and the third phase would take care of traffic from the wharf. Such a split likely would hold everyone up a little longer. BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) The army's strong man, Gen. Praphas Charusathien, today announced the re sumption of full diplomatic relations with Cambodia and said his government is considering a request to send Thai troops to support the Cambodian regime.

Praphas, deputy prime minister and commander in chief of the army, had told a news conference in Phnom Penh before returning to Wiring Flaw Is Cited in Apollo Probe SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) Wiring insulation inside an oxygen tank which exploded on Apollo 13 may have been seriously damaged before the ill-fated moon mission was launched, the chairman of the committee studying the space accident says. Edgar M. Cortright, chairman of the Apollo 13 review board, said yesterday that several days before the launch the tank had been filled with oxygen for a re-h a a 1, and afterwards workmen were unable toT drain it in the normal way. "We do not know precisely why they were unable to drain the tank" in the normal way, a space agency spokesman said. Cortright said special procedures were then used to remove the oxygen and these "probably resulted in major damage to the wiring insulation" inside the tank.

The tank exploded April 13, as Apollo 13 was more than halfway to the moon. The explosion blew off a panel of the service module, destroyed the spacecraft's major supply of oxygen and electricity, forced cancellation of the moon landing and seriously endangered the COLOMBO, Ceylon (AP) Conservative Prime Minister Dudley Senanayake resigned today in the wake of a landslide election victory for Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaran-aike's leftist coalition. Ceyldn prepared for a sharp turn to the left in domestic and foreign policies as Mrs. Bandaranaike, in 1960 the world's first woman prime minister, awaited Gov.

Gen. William Gopalla-wa's call to form a new cabinet. Returns for 138 of the 151 elected seats in the House of Representatives gave Mrs. Bandaranaike's coalition the largest parliamentary majority in Ceylon's 21 years of independence and her Freedom Party a majority on its own without its two Communist allies. THE COALITION had 108 seats, including 85 for the Freedom Party, 18 for the Trotskyite Communists and 5 for the pro-Moscow Communists.

In addition, Mrs. Bandaranaike as prime minister will appoint six other members to parliament. The combined opposition had only 30 seats 14 tor Sen-anayake's United National Party, 15 for two parties representing the Tamil minority and one independent. Senanayake won a narrow victory in his district, but at least 10 of his 17 cabinet ministers were defeated. Mrs.

Bandaranaike, a 53-year-old widow of another prune minister, won her own seat by a huge majority of 21,723 votes. Senanayake's winning margin in his district was 1,067. THE LEFTIST coalition in its campaign promised to nationalize foreign banks, take over the export-import trade, set up peoples' committees to watch the activities of government officials and businessmen 'and restrict newspapers that backed Senanayake. It also pledged to extend full diplomatic recognition to North Vietnam, North Korea and the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government as well as suspend relations with Israel until it withdraws from Arab territory taken in the 1967 war. Senanayake, a 58-year-old bachelor, based his campaign on his efforts to build amity between the Buddhist Sinhala majority and the largely Hindu Tamil minority.

He appeared to have been hurt by a cut in the rice ration in 1968 from four to two pounds a week. Mrs. Bandaranaike headed the government from 1960 to 1965 after the assassination of her husband, Solomon Bandaranaike, by a Buddhist monk in 1959. Her five years in power were marked by a shift to the left domestically and internationally, a downturn in the economy and rampant inflation. Her government was defeated when she tried to nationalize Ceylon's press.

)o Hi: I y- PL i fit i i 1 I fi I 2 'I Weather When will something be done about, the traffic problem on Kuulei Road in front of the police and fire stations in Kailua? Weekday mornings it seems everyone is headed for Honolulu, downtown Kailua or Kailua High Cars from three directions pile up at the intersection of Kuulei and Kainalu Drive, all trying to get into one Honolulu-bound lane on Kuulei. There is only a short section of one. lane, then the road widens to two lanes in both directions. The City must make another lane for traffic in that short block. Is this planned for the near future? A "Unfortunately, it is not.

The short stretch of Kuulei that you speak of in front of the police and fire departments is three-lane, one for Honolulu-bound traffic and two for Kailua Bay-bound traffic. That's a section the traffic people would like to cone, so that the middle lane could be used in morning rush hour by Honolulu-bound motorists and used in the afternoon rush by homeward-bound motorists. There are two reasons why this hasn't been done. First, there are no coning crews in that area, and it would be too expensive in both manpower and money to send a crew from Honolulu to take care of that one short block. Second and more important, the geometries of that portion of Kuulei don't lend themselves to such coning.

There is some Kalaheo-bound traffic during the morning rush hour, and there would be no place for those people to go except to make a right turn onto Kainalu and eventually get to their destination in a round about manner which the traffic department considers unsatisfactory. That traffic would be unable to go straight ahead on Kuulei except in a hazardous zigzag manner. The City would like eventually to straighten out part of the problem by constructing an extra lane directly in front of the police and fire staT tions. However, it wouldn't do much good unless another lane was added to the Lanikai-side of Kuulei between Kainalu and Kalaheo. The general plan provides for that, but it can't be put into effect until the involved citizens want to pay the assessment of an improvement district.

eign man port that Minister Thanat Kho-was asked about a rein Bangkok newspaper certain members of the Thai Parliament had re quested the government to send volunteers to Cambodia. The foreign minister did not rule out the possibility of such a move, but said "it is too early to say." Thai troops now fighting in South Vietnam are volunteers. In Phnom Penh, Thai delegation sources said two divisions in eastern Thailand were on full alert due to the Cambodian military situation, but there was no massing of troops. Thus, in two days, Cambodia has restored diplomatic relations with two neighbors that had feuded for years with the Cambodian government under ousted Prince Norodom Sihanouk.

Seawall Builders Taken to Court Two men have been charged with criminal violations in rebuilding seawalls at 61-262 Kamehameha Highway, Waialua. City Prosecutor Barry Chung filed complaints in Circuit Court against Isamu Abe and Maurice A. De-Harne. Abe is charged with not conforming with the approved City building permit. DeHarne is charged with constructing seawalls "farther seaward" than allowed by the Comprehensive Zoning Code.

A kukui nut sized bit of the moon is at the Bishop Museum. The moon rock, which was plucked from the moon's Sea of Tranquillity by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission, will be in Hawaii for 11 days, six of them at the Museum. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration totaled the cost of the entire Apollo program, divided that by eight the number of manned missions and estimated that the rocks from the moon cost a total of 81 million dollars. Besides paying $2,000 for the rock's round trip from the Mainland, the Musuem has had to tighten its ty during the rock's display. TOMMY WRIGHT, head of the Windward Security Patrol, personally carried the rock from Honolulu Interna THURSDAY, High Albany, N.Y.
