That confrontation, he said, had helped prevent Sino-Soviet reconciliation but now "there may be a turning point in competition" between the two superpowers and "the situation is changing from confrontation to dialogue." The United States and China normalized relations in 1979. Outside in Tiananmen Square, tens of thousands of students, teachers, journalists, workers and onlookers the leaders df momentous another sort. The students, who consider Gorbachev a hero for the political reforms he has cflampioned at home, issued appeals for, him to take up their cause for democratic reforms with China's complaints of Soviet revisionism in the thaw following Stalin's death. He also praised Gorbachev's 1986 speech in the Siberian city of Vladivostok in which the Soviet leader appealed for an end to Chinese-Soviet hostility.

"All the world and myself could see ne5i content in your policy. Before that we didn't have a new way of thinking," Deng said. Gorbachev responded, "Before that we did hot have a new political order," He said it had taken three years since for a summit to take place, "one year for each obstacle." The Chinese have long said there were three obstacles to better relations with Moscow the Soviet military presence in Afghanistan, Soviet troop deployment along the Chinese border and Kremlin support of Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia. bygones are bygones. What is important is to look forward and do more tangible things." Li said the two leaders discussed Cambodia, where Moscow-backed Vietnamese troops are fighting Beijing-backed resistance forces.

"They shared some views but did not reach complete agreement," he said. The Gorbachev-Deng summit brought together Soviet and Chinese leaders for the first time since a frosty encounter between Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Tse-tung in 1959. Relations have since been marred by ideological rivalry, a 1969 border war and strong Chinese opposition to Soviet policy in Afghanistan and Cambodia.

"We can take this opportunity'' to publicly announce the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations" after 30 years, Deng said to applause from Soviet and Chinese participant in the meeting. The 84-year-old senior Chinese leader welcomed Gorbachev in the red-carpeted Eastern Hall of the Great Hall of the People as "comrade" but did not give him the bear hug he reserves for close friends and allies.

Developer Hasegawa Komuten is seeking county permission to reclassify 14.999 acres of land adjacent to the Kona Palisades subdivision above Kailua to allow the creation of 26 lots of about one-half acre each. 1 7 But the application for the parcel, part of a larger 1240-acre parcel the developer has said he will eventually develop, has come under fire.

Several Council members have criticized the developer's choice of coming before the Council under a state law allowing developers of parcels under 15 acres to avoid the longer, more expensive State Land Use Commission for land-use approvals. Despite the criticism, the measures appear to have enough votes for final approval. In other matters, the Council will take the first of two required votes on the proposed 1989-90 budget. The mayor's spending plan is currently undergoing Council review and will be the subject of several public meetings before a final vote is to be taken on May Also to be reviewed by the Council is a resolution asking Gov. John Waihee to veto a bill passed by the Legislation in the recently concluded session.

The bill would nullify legislation passed the year before to take the responsibility for the safety check inspections from the county and give it to the state. The Council has said the program required by, the state should be solely the state's responsibility, and the resolution encourages Waihee to veto the latest measure requiring the counties to continue to handle the program with state reimbursement for expenses.

Xinhua and the TV news also carried an unusually complete reports of the Beijing protest, including the support shown by the public. The frankness came after hundreds of reporters protested censorship? A high-ranking party official, Yan Mingfu, visited the hunger-strikers and said over a student-controlled loudspeaker he sympathized with them. But Yan, who was speaking as an individual and not representing the leadership, said the government needed more time to consider their demands and appealed for them to go home. Several student leaders agreed.

"Yan is somebody we can trust," said Wuer Kaixi, one of the leaders of the United Association of Beijing Universities, an independent student group formed to lead the movement.

The air cooling, meanwhile, eliminates the need for water cooling towers and the steam plumes associated with them. 7 The plant will use steam tapped from six well pads. Initial plans call for eight production and 'two injection wells, although the actual number may vary depending on the condition of each well. As many as 30 wells may be drilled over the 35-year lifespan of the project. Each well will be vented for about four hours after drilling to clear put the bore, during which no noise or emission abatement systems will be used.

(When such- circumstances require the venting of steam, Ormat says, it will be routed through a hydrogen-sulfide abatement system and mufflers. If the hearings held recently on a University of Hawaii plan to drill a series of geothermal observation holes in Puna are any indication, Ormat's application may face some stiff opposition from its prospective neighbors. Area residents have said they are concerned with the impact geothermal development may have on their health and safety and on lower Puna's environment. Richard.

said Ormat plans a number of meetings with representatives of community asso-, ciations in the area and has expressed a similar willingness to meet with native Hawaiian activists who oppose geothermal development on religious and cultural grounds. State officials will be watching the community's response to Ormat's plans. The Waihee administration, together with Hawaiian Electric is pushing hard for the export of up to 500 megawatts of geothermal power to Oahu. The state and Heco have 1 jointly issued a request for proposals from would-be developers interested in forming a consortium to develop the well fields, power plants and underwater cable needed to make the plan a reality..
