Plans Under Way To
 z Make Hawaii Safe \ Place For Women
Mass Meeting of Citizens field-Congress to Investi- gate-Aleged Murder of Woman lnsulter Ex-
 cites Island

sue the facts that Honolulu is not safe for visitors, especially women"
 Merchants bemoaned their losses because the United States battle fleet will not anchor in Honolulu bay during spring maneuvers, a de- cision taken in view of the unrest here.
 Reports of plans at Washington for congressional investigation oi conditions in Hawaii were welcom- ed in many quarters. There was no complaint from any officials There were complaints, however that erroneous reports of condi. tions in Honolulu had been circu. lated abroad.
 The attitude of one group o1 leading citizens was voiced by Johr A. Balch, president of the Mutua Radio and an international author. ity on communications problems.
 "In view of the deplorable con. ditions existing at present in this territory, particularly on the Island of Oshu, (where Honolulu Is To- cated) as is shown by the break down of administration of affairs of our territorial prison and police departments, the federal govern ment's assistance in immediate remedial measures to correct the intolerable situation existing here to-day is imperative" Balch said.
 A faction of businessmen includ- ing Kenneth RArnes, vice president of the Hawaiian Pineapple com pany and acting president of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, opposed this view but not to the point of being antagonistic.
 Sheriff Patrick Gleason said: "l will be only too glad to see an in- vestigation by congress-the sooner the better. I would not only wei. come federal investigation but would cooperate in any way that might be desired"
 Governor Lawrence Judd held lengthy conferences with joint leg islative committees and they con- sidered the governors program proposing that the office of sheriff become appointive. Supporters of the plan claim this would increase his effectiveness. There is some resentment, however, that the sug- gestion come from naval officials instead of from civilians.
 Robert w. Shingle, president of the senate. and Roy A. Vitousek, speaker of the house, sent the fol- lowing joint message to Delegate s. K. Houston, of Hawaii, at Wash. ington, D. C.
 "A committee of the senate and the house is now conferring with the governor. We request that you immediately obtain and send us q copy of letters between navy and other officials in Hawaii and the navy department and other depart ments in Washington and else. where relative to the so called Ala Moana case (the attack by five men on Mrs Thalia Massi, wife of Lieu. tenant Massie at Ala Moana) their subsequent trial and disagreement ! of a jury (which was followed by rloting) the Kidnapping of Horace Ida (co-defendant of kahahawa who was beaten and left uncon. scious) the criminal assault upor a civilian woman by an escaped | convict Uouis Kaikapu, later sen' fenced to life imprisonment) and also matters pertaining thereto"

 Honolulu, T. H., Jan 12.-(UP) Plans ito make Hawaii safe for women" were discussed in mass meeting and by civic groups and their leaders to-day following con- gressional orders for a federal in- vestigation of terrorism in the Hawaiian Islands.
 z One mass meeting sponsored by a group dominated by the League of Women Voters was called as Governor Judd received a recom- mendation for a special session of the Hawaiian legislature to meet the situation artstng from the out breaks.
 The suggestion was from Dele gate s. K. Houston who sat in dur. ing the congressiona discussion of the attack on Mrs Thomas Hedges Massie, and the subsequent murder Of her alleged assailant charged to her mother, her husband, and two enlisted men.
 Houston suggested the death penalty should be provided for per- sons convicted of an attack such As that on Mrs Massie, and that Sterilization should be mandatory IOY LHOSe COuNiCteu oh oOhiC "H'' less serious charges.
 'sThe Honolulu Citizens Organi- zation for Good Government" sponsored by the League of Wo- men Voters and backed by the American Legion and civic organi- zations called the mass meeting.
 The organization demands that the islands return to the law of Kamehameha the Great renowned and revered leader of Hawaiians. who decreed that "the aged and the weak shall not be molested on tho highways"
 V The meeting was the first or ganized effort of citizens to curb Attacks by underworld characters on white women here. They 50 far have resulted in the Kidnapping and beating of Japanese citizen few weeks ago and the murder of Joe KAhahawai, one of five men charg- Sd with an attack on Mrs Massie. Nassie, his mother-in-law Mrs Grace Hubbard Fortescue. and two enlisted men, E. J. Lord and A. l.. Jones, are charged with the first degree murder.

EDNA FERBER IS REAL SORRY FOR
 THOSE STORIES

New Haven, Conn, January 12--- (UP) Edna Ferber didn't in- tend to malign the people of Brookfield in American Beauty" any more than the fat girls of Appleton, Wis, in her first story, "The Homely Girl" she asserted at Yale University last night.
 The novelist departed from her prepared lecture to answer crlti- cisms attributed to residents of Brookfeld, where she lived while gathering material for American Beauty" her story of the alleged decline of the pioneer Connecticut stock in the tobacco country.
 1T understand I have become 1m- mensely unpopular in some parts of Connecticut" said Miss Ferber. "Pictures have been published of q house about which supposedly wrote. But when I wrote the book. I did not have in mind any partic. ular house. All the characters and settings were imaginary"
 When she returned to her native town, Appleton, after writing "The Homely Girl" she said, all the fat girls in town snubbed her. But she never even thought of the town" when writing the story.

 According to Tony's story he went into a store in Brooklyn last December goth to purchase a package of cigarettes and wound up the next day in city court With a fine of $25 and costs affixed to his name. He said after he bought the smokes he was invited into the rear room of the store owned by Mrs Anna Eiduks and engaged in A. friendly chat with the store clerk. When Tony's wife entered and requested that he go home, he remonstrated with her and then Mrs Eiduks entered the picture. Words were followed by a scuffla in which Tony said he attempted to part them and was struck on the Hedu ny put itohI shc ososS' thrown by a young boy In the store.
 Tony denied he struck any blows but simply pushed the scufflers away. Mrs Eiduks' husband took q hand in the fray and still Tony said he kept on pushing them away. He could not account for several of the participants leaving with blackened eyes. He left the store but returned few minutes later to learn why the police patrol was suddenly stopping in front of the store. He was pointed out as one of the participants of the scuffle and taken along in the pa trol. The fine was administered in city court next morning.
 Tony appealed the case to the common pleas court and when ar
