Property Damage in Hd- waiian Islands Esfimat-
 ated af S10, ,000, ,000

HONOLULU, April 4.--Property damage wrought by the Paciiic's tidal waves was estimated at $l0000,000 in the Hawaiian Islands today as businessmen and owners of tiny beach cottages and $60, coo luxury homes counted their losses.
 The death toll in the islands rose to 88 with the finding of five more bodies at Hilo, bringing that city's total to 58. Sixty-nine were miss ing; 59 of them from the island of Hawaii. In other areas of the eastern Pacific, 12 persons drown ed. Thus, 169 persons in all may have lost their lives.
 Mondays immense waves also hit Tthiti, the Aleutians, California and South America, but the greatest loss of life and property occurred in the Hawaiian Islands.
 The search for the missing, includ- ing 25 school children-continued by sea and air. Supplies of food and clothing poured into the strick- en seaport city of Hilo, partly wrecked as the full force of the ti- dal waves crashed through its fun nel-like harbor.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-About SIX weeks ago Postmaster General Hannegan organized a group of young brain trusters known as ''Hannegan's Task Force" to help push legisla- ton and various other Truman projects.
 But too much publicity appar- ently worried someone in high places, and the project was drop ped. Last week, however, Hannegan quietly invited the same Task Force to lunch in his office, and gave them the go signal for an all-out drive to push President Truman's legislative program through Congress.
 T want you to know" Hannegon said at the start, that President Truman has personally approved the participation of each and ev- cry one of you fellows in this un- dertaking. We mean business and we're. going ahead. We've got to get this legislative program m through"
 Hannegan then referred to the fact that at least one cabinet mem Der, Secretary of the Treasury Vim son. had frowned on the idea of any Treasury aides working on Hannegan's Committee.
 Don't you worry about what anyone tells you," said the Post master General, "I'll take care of anybne who gets in trouble. I'm not worried about making anybody in. Washington angry with me ex- cept the President. And I've got his full backing"
 Some of those present complain ed about the lack of effective liai- son between the White House and Congress. Assistant Secretary oi Labor John w. Gibson was espec- tally vigorous on thiss point.
 T talk to a senator" explained Gibson, land tell him what I be- lieve is the Administrations view on the minimum wage bill. get my instructions from Secretary Schwellenbach, whom the President has placed in charge of labor mat ters. Then Senator Ellender calls up John Snyder and Snyder tells ( him something different. Then Claude Pepper calls up John Steel man at the White House and Steelman says something entirely different again. The poor senators don't know where they are"
 Hannegan explained that he was working on the problem of White House liaison with Congress, but agreed that there were still too many cross-currents.
 He also urged the importance of concentrating on passage of the Minimum Wage Bill.
 Creekmore Path of John Snyder's office then called attention to the hundreds of lobbyists who were
