POLITICIANS IN HONOLULU ARE
 GIVEN WARNING
They Are Told to Keep Hands Off the Enact- ment of Crime Legisla- ton

Honolulu. T. H. Jan 16-(UP)-- Politicians were warned not to hamper enactment of "wise reme- dical legislation" in Hawaii in an editorial in the Honolulu Adver- tiser today which said that "the whole territory of Hawaii and its politicians in particular are on probation"
 The editorial centered attention on the attitude of territorial leg islators toward measures demanded by leading citizens for the elimi- nation of crime and the "protec- tion of all women" in the islands. to be considered Monday at a spe- cial session of the legislature.
 It appeared soon after the grand jury adjourned after a brief meet ing until Thursday without consid- ering the case of Mrs Grace Hub bard Fortesque, her son-in-law, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, and two enlisted men charged with first degree murder. They are held in the death of Joe Kahahawai, one of five men accused of attacking Lieut. Massie's wife.

We are taking in a surprising amount of cash eac' day and as everything is coming in and noth- ing going out the cash position of the bank is being greatly improved Here again, our attitude Is not to take drastic action to force pay. ments beyond the immediate abil- ity of the people to pay, but rather to seek a gradual satisfaction of obligations by those who in good faith wish to pay all but cannot do so at once. This il the reason for our request for court sanction of a program of gradual payment. It does not mean however, that we are not insisting upon payments where we believe the debtor is not treating us with equal fairness. We can be stern and insistent where required and in a few cases we have either started suit or will do so at an early date where we have discovered apparent attempts to avoid payment. A great majority however, are cooperating in ex- cellent spirit.
 As to our second duty, namely, to conserve all assets, we are talk ing every step and precaution to obtain added security for loans and to do everything that will secure the value of these assets. Although it is the usual function of a receiver to immediately reduce all assets to cash, we hesitated to do this in drastic fashion and secured court approval of our forbearance, with the hope and belief that time will greatly improve the market value of these assets. That our decision is a reasonable one is evidenced by the enhancement of security values which has occurred since our ap- pointment on December 23rd. The market value of one security alone in the portfolio of the Merchants Trust company has increased $30,- 900 since that date and others have increased n value propor- tionately. It is obvious that an improvement in the security mark cts and in the business world will work to the advantage of the bank and will improve not only the value of it's assets but the ability of those indebted to it to pay their obligations.
 AS receivers, faced with the prob lem of managing and handling an $S,OO0,OOO enterprise. our first at tention was directed to the savings department of the bank which contains the largest amount of de- posits of any department of the bank. The savings deposits are ap- proximately $3,6OO,000 as compar- ed to checking accounts of approx imately $1,60O,000 or a ratio of more than 2 to 1. The state bank ing laws require that assets and securities of the highest type must be set aside as sort of double

BOATS CARRYING PEOPLE OUT OF
 FLOOD ZONES
They Were Living in Homes Surrounded By Water When Another Break Came

Charleston, Miss. Jan, 16---(UP) A fresh break in the Tallahatchie river ievee system sent q wall of flood water roaring into the Hippo basin today, mencing the lives of more than q thousand inhabitants. Cut off by other flood waters, fam files were forced to seek safety in nearby hills. Boats piled back and forth all the night bringing out those who had been trapped by the unexpected rise. No lives were reported lost here, but there was fear that some might be reported after 6 complete check.
 Many of the homes in the basin were surrounded by water before the new rise, but the occupants had not abandoned them. George Merriweather, editor of a weekly newspaper Ere, said today he be- lleved there were ample boats to remove all in peril. He declared 1t was unlikely that there would be any great loss of life as the break had been feared for several days.

 Tokio, Jan 6-(UP)-Japan pledged maintenance of the "open door" in Manchuria and China to- day in response to Secretary Of State Stimson's note but noted that existing conditions in China might modify materially" the applica- ton of the nine power treaty.
 The Japanese communication handed by Foreign Minister Ken kichi YoshiZawa to American Am bassador w. Cameron Forbes was conciliatory. It said replacements in the administration of Manchu- ria were necessary for the good of the local population and that Ja- pan had no territorial aims in Man churia.
 Japan called Washington's at tention to the fact that legality of matters are not recognized which might impair rights of Americans under the Kellogg pact, and said:
