her the whole ship, from cockpit
to the storage rooms aft. Phi
vately, behind locked doors in the
chart room, he showed her the
gyropilot on which he was work
ing. which promised to revOlu-
tionize long distance flight. He
was UNNECESSARILY proud of this
instrument he was developing.
She almost resented the loving
chances he bestowed on this robot,
which, when completed, would be
capable of controlling and flying
the ship for hours at a stretch
without human hands.
He had to guard the precious
secret from prying eyes. To Ted
possibility of it's theft seemed to
be the only dangerous feature of
the trans-Pacific flight, and ne
took great pains to guard against
such a calamity.
They had comparatively fair
weather over the entire course,
and towards noon on this same
morning, Is hours after leaving
San Francisco, came down in the
harbor at Honolulu.
They took a taxi to a hotel on
Waikiki Beach, under the shadow
of the wOrld-famous Diamond
Head. They lunched outdoors,
and then lay on the sand in front
of their beach cabana, watching
the Hawaiian boys on the surf
boards.

At this time tomorrow she
would be lounging on that coral
atoll of Midway, listening to the
screams of flaming, tropical birds.
On the same day she would see
the sun set in scarlet blaze over
the fertile island of Guam. The
third day she would pass over the
grim fortress of Corregidor in Ma
Mia Bay.
She lay there on the beach at
Honolulu, dreaming million
dreams. Ted had to drag her to
the edge of the water, but then,
hand in hand, they ran out to
meet the surf.
All afternoon they stayed in the
cabana. lounging on the sand and
listening to the strumming of the
haunting music on the terrace up
there.

His blue eyes looked out over

stroked her hair gently, then her
forehead. ;,

DORIS DUKE IS
DENIED ISLAND
BEACH LEASE
CromweIIs Project $780,
600 Honolulu Home;
Plan Halted
BY wendell BURCH =,
limited Press Staff Correspondent

HONOLULU, Sept. %. (UP)'-
Plans of Mrs. Doris Duke Crom-
well for a 100000 home in Homo
lulu hang uncertainty today on
the issue of whether her proposed
swimming pool would be her OWE
Or a public basin for all.
In land where everybody
from the baby to grandpa swimIS5;
the "richest girl in the world
suddenly has been involved IN a
controversy. With her husband
James Cromwell, she purchased
800, 900 estate at kaalaWal, and
announced plans to CONSTRUCT
house to cost more than half
million dollars. -.
Originally headlined in FLORIDA
newspapers as "The Tai Mahal OF
Florida" when the house was plan
ned for Duke and Cromwell prop
ertv in that state, the home here
was to have a spacious outdoor
swimming pool. But the Honolulu
Harbor board rejected an appllca-
ito nby William D. Cross, Jr., rep
resenting the Cromwells, asking
permission to construct the, pool
on beach property Immediately al
ioininD the estate.
ALTERNATIVE is OFFERED
"The only wav | see for the
Cromwells to build that swimming
rooI there" said Louis Cain, chair
man of the harbor board, SIS for
them to throw it open to the pub
lie at all times" They'll have to
build it on their own property II
thew want it to be private" .,
Mayor Fred Wright suggested
the Cromwells buy beach property
elsewhere and decd it to Honolulu
in return for the right of building
their swimming pool near their
estate. The Chamber of Com
merco, the Hawaii Tourist Bureau,
the Engineers Association of Hon
olulu, Gov. Joseph B. POindeXter,
Attorney Genera William Pitt
man, Police Chief William Cab
rielson and the Democratic party
became involved in the issue. =,
"There's nothing but lot OF
rocks on the beach there, any
how" commented GabrieIson.
Nobody but fishermen go down
there"
81 certainly wouldn't give up a
million dollar investment in Homo
lulu lust to keep the public walk
ing over rocks instead Of having
a fine promenade on top of a
stone wall" said Pittman in un-
official remarks.
ENTIRE PROJECT IN DOUBT
A. E. Steadman of the Chamber
of Commerce, observed that the
Cromwells would have to pay some
$4,000 yearly in taxes If they
built their home and swimming
pool. Cross threatened to with
draw the whole project and sell
the land, presumably on Mrs.
Cromwell's orders.
Lawyers reviewed the situation
unofficially. Some said the beach
site was federal property under
Jurisdiction of the territorial land
com.aission, and the harbor board
had no right to reject or accept
plans for disposition of the land.
Special acts of congress also were
discussed.
At the moment no one seems to
know what disposition may be
made finally Of the question. Cain
insists the issue is closed, but 9TH
ers are pressing for some compro-
mise. :,

brought from Delhi, lndia-144
cases of it-and costing $4,000
