Land Develoomenf In 10 Years HiuvMii Harnnnn prlitnr I.arrv Ketchum is siiino KHTjO Rarlin for breach of contract and asking $1,955 in damages, according to a complaint filed Thursday in South Hilo District Court. Ketchum alleges that KHIX) station manager John Hooker reneged on a verbal agreement to exchange advertising because Hooker disliked the content of the Harpoon spots sent to him. The complaint will be served today, according to a court "I doubt if we Would ever have even 50 per cent of that $350-milliorj on the line any one' time," Seabrook explained.

The IU chairman said International Utilities does not plan 'now to increase its 54 per cent holdings in C. Brewer acquired in 1969 by a tender offer of $50 per share. Brewer common was traded on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange Thursday a $30. But Seabrook declined to say IU would not at some future date purchase more Brewer stock. Seabrook said IU does not normally leave so much stock in public hands but it decided that procedure was "the right thing to do yi this case.

The only trouble with that might be" that you put too much strain on other shareholders when you need new capital for development." The IU chairman said Brewer's extensive land holdings not under cane cultivation put it in an excellent position as a land developer. "Brewer," he said, "can guarantee high quality results and preservation of a good environment because it has enough land to allocate each parcel to its best purpose."

Brewer and Co. plans to sink some $350 million into land development programs' in Hawaii over the next 10 years, the parent International Utilities Corp, said Thursday.

Seabrook and Brewer president Iwrence Prisher discussed the next decade's plans at an' Investment Society of Hawaii luncheon in Honolulu Thursday. "Seabrook said he felt certain that Brewer will reap "handsome returns" by 1980 on its land development, which he said will be planned and financed on a sound basis in Ka'u, Hilo and Kauai. Pricher declined to disclose a price on the first increment of hotel, condominium development at Ka'u. It is too "complex," he said, and "would take detailed explaining." But the fact that Brewer will proceed on schedule at Ka'u means the Oahu-based firm will not seek outside financial partnership. Brewer had originally planned to develop its land holdings in cooperation with Macco Corp.

But that conglomerate ran into financial difficulties and the deal ended abruptly. Both Seabrook and Pricher said the entire, Hawaii program will require $350 million in financing but that only a portion of that would be used at a time.

Unofficially, Norm Isn't The Queen Official secrecy surrounds the apparent failure of Norman Wessel to become Hilo High School's first male Homecoming Queen. In spite of a Honolulu newspaper story claiming victory for Wessel, Wessel said this morning that he had come in second in the election. Wessel, who claimed indifference to his defeat, said Darlene Otani had won the Homecoming Queen honor. Hilo High school officials were reluctant to make any statements on the election results.

Principal Richard Mat-sunaga said he had not been informed of the official election results but thought that word might be announced later in the day. All he knew, he said, was what he had read in the Honolulu newspaper. However, Gail Miyashiro, student chairman for Homecoming, despite an effort to hid the election results, said that it would be correct to say that Norman came in second to Darlene Otani. Miss Miyashiro added results won't be announced until Monday. At the moment, Wessel is preparing to become senior attendant, a position in which he would act as escort to the Homecoming Queen.

Wessel, a football player, discus thrower and shotputter, said his drive to break female dominance of Homecoming Queen started off as a joke but when his classmates found he was willing to run, they began to support him. Whether they supported runV sufficiently remains officially uncertain. Reorganization Plans A Hawaij County councilman Thursday said he is displeased with the State welfare policy which he claimed has been more lenient toward "hippies" than Island residents. Councilman Frank De Luz III said the Council should "adopt a strong position" on "hippies" because the "hippie problem" on the Big- Island is "out of hand." De Luz later explained a strong policy "is to give the hippies as much of a bad time as possible." The councilman made the remarks during a meeting of the County Council's Planning, Economic Development and legislative Committee. De, Luz said transients and newcomers to the Island seem to obtain welfare benefits easier because they are good "talkers." "It's unfair to our residents," he said.

Councilman Josephine Yadao said a number of states in the nation are burned with welfare expenses. After some discussion, the committee decided to invite officials of the State Social Service to attend its next meeting to further discuss State welfare policies. installation banquet of the Wainaku Meisho Senior Young Buddhist Association will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Seaside.
