HONOLULU, Mar. IS (AP).
To Bill Quinn. statehood for
Hawaii means equality with
fellow Americans"
at means" he says. I'VE will
have an opportunity to share
fully in the national political
life.
Particularly significant. is
the added prestige for Hawaii
in carrying out our mission as
the hub Of the Pacific in pro-
noting greater east-west un-

pointed governor. He wants TO
be its first elected one.
Early In February. Gov.
Quinn announced he would seek
the ONCE when Hawaii gained
statehood. He startled local
politicians. not by his intention,
but by the early announcement.
Although a Republican in a
place where the majority have
lately voted heavily Democratic.
he is rated at least an even
chance Of making 1t.
Rode Statehood Issue
The cause Of statehood pro-
PEELED Gov. Quinn into office.
As a member Of the Hawaii
Statehood Commission in 1857.
he went to Washington to testi-
/ fy for statehood before Con-

In August, 1857. President
Eisenhower plucked him from
relative political obscurity to be
Governor. a surprise choice.
When he took Office In early
September he was 80 years old
and the second youngest Gov
ernor the islands have had.
Bill Quinn was keenly that
he had been appointed to the
job and therefore was not nee
essarily the peoples choice. In
his inaugural address, he said:
II shall meet all the people
Of our islands. and I shall. in
fact, be their Governor to the
best Of my ability"
| Since then, he has worked a
l4-hour day meeting "all the
people Of our Islands" He has
hoped UP and down the island

Gov. Quinn came To- The
islands In l947 from st. Louis,
Mo-. where he spent much Of
his life. He was born in Ro-
chester. NY.
He is very much a family
man who enjoys more than any
other pastime playing with his
four sons and two daughters.
His family is rated q real poll
teal asset.
The Governor married the
charming Nancy Witbeck in st.
Louis In 1912. He was gradu-
ated. Summa Cum Laude. from
st. Louis University and re-
ceived a law degree from Har-
ward. with cum laude honors.
He is a natural public
speaker, a political moderate
and has shown a versatility
that ranges from barbershop
quartet singing to labor medi-
ator.
In the spring Of 1858, a tough
sugar strike by Harry Bridges
longshore union was settled
after four months. largely
through his Intervention.
During his tenure. he never
stopped plugging for statehood.
and it helped his popularity
both at home and in making O
name on the mainland.
In one speech. he gave his
arguments this way:
Eve carry all the burdens,
but we do not enjoy all the
rights which normally citizens
attain We are good Ameri-
cans. We love our country.
What more dramatic reafiir-
nation Of our democratic ideals
could be made than to grant
statehood to the multi-raciai
people Of Hawaii. How quickly
our prestige would be restored
among the awakening millions
Of Asia and Africa. This. we
believe. is our real mission at
the hub Of the Pacific.

4OO,AAILE ISLAND CHAIN
Ocean Runs Through Howoii Stote
ILWU Controls Labor

HONOLULU, Mar. Is ,tAP)-
Hawaii will be the only state
with the high seas running
through it. The Pacific Ocean
streams through the chain Of
eight volcanic islands, strung
out over 400 miles.
The islands lie 2,4O0 miles
west Of San Francisco and $3.50
miles east of Tokyo. Their COM
bined area Of 6,400 square
miles is less than that Of New
Jersey.
Only seven per cent of the
land can be used for agricul-
ture. Almost all Of this is
planted with sugar yielding
IL million tons per year, and
pineapple (29 million crates of
fruit and juice a year,.
Hawaii's four major islands
are:
Oahu-This is the most i'm
portant and most populous, al
though only the third largest.
1t is the financial, political,
cultural and industrial heart
Of Hawaii and site of the cap
ital, Honolulu. 1t also is the
hub Of the whole United States
defense system in the Pacific,
with navaS headquarters at
Pearl Harbor, Air Force head
quarters at Hickam Air Force
Base and the Army Of the Pa
cific conferred at Fort Shafter
and Schof1eld Barracks. Oahu's
area is $50 square miles.
Hawaii - Called the big
island" Hawaii is the largest
in the chain with an area Of
4,02l square miles. 1t is the
site of the cattle-raising Park
er ranch, one of the worlds
largest individually owned
ranches. 1t is also the site of

Feafl k1afUOE dLCAck Will not
be forgotten.
AS Communist China looms
larger, Hawaii knows 1t could
be hit again.
ILWU Controls Labor
Labor racketeering has, by
and large, by-passed the islands.
But communism IN unions has
peen an issue for more than o
decade.
The International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's
Onion, led by controversial Har-
ry Bridges. holds control of la
Dor in the vital sugar and pine
apple industries as well as on
the docks.
! The mWU Is active In island
politics. but its influence Is dis
puted. Some claim that state
hood win put ILwU puppets in
Congress.
The union has never succeed
ed in getting its pet hate-the
dock seizure law-wiped of
Hawaii's books. The law author
ICES the government to seize
and operate the docks in event
of a dock strike. 1t has never
been used.
Many candidates whom the
mWU has Endorsed are by no
means its tools. And some have
lost elections.
Rise Of TOurism Seen
Sugar and pineapple. long

economy. viii give some ground
in Hawaii as d State.
Many people predict the fast
growing tourist industry VIM
become the leading business
here.
within the last year. the
hotel chain acquired
four major hotels at Waikiki.
Hilton hotels Is building one.
Industrialist Henry j. Kaiser.
a leading booster of Hawaii. has
built q hotel at waikiki which
is a village alf its own. He also
has put up q hospital and an
aluminium dome where movies
and other entertainment are
staged.
The next step could be an
artificial island offshore, near
crowded. land-hungry Waikiki.
Legislation which would per-
init Hawaii to go ahead with
its magic island" already has
been submitted to Congress.
The economic future for
Hawaii's people could be clouded
by a depression which would
cut the tourist trade or an
abrupt withdrawal Of military
personnel. Military spending is
the largest single factor in the
island economy.
Cite High Tax Payment
Hawaiians were quick to
point out, when they demanded
statehood. that they paid more
taxes to the Federal Treasury
than nine States.
And people here are equally
quick to say that the cost Of
living in Hawaii is 20 to Is per
cent higher than on the MAIN
land. Gasoline, for example,
costs A cents a gallon. Fed

FORTY HUNGRY
YOUNGSTERS

1t has been brought to our attention
that there are approximately forty
youngsters in the Tabor City school
who daily go without lunches.
Such sounds fantastic for basically
agricultural area where homegrown
food is SO abundant. But there are
forty youngsters who-for one reason
or another haven't the money to
buy hot lunches.
1t is admitted too that there are
so children already being daily dined
free in the school under free lunch
program. These youngsters have been
chosen from those listed on question
nalres according to their need.
Those children who do not purchase
lunches must accompany their class
members to the cafeteria and watch
the eat. Teachers have been known
to take small bits Of food from plates
OF those dining and distribute it to
those who had no food.
But often, because of shame, the
recipients refuse to eat the donated
food
What to do for the hungry-few
was the subject of a discussion of a
group Of businessmen last week where
upon suggestion by Tally Eddings
seemed to be the most logical solution
Eddings suggests that program
be lnStigated whereby citizens may
adopt one of the forty, thus under
writing the cost of the child's lunches
The contribution of 25 cents per day
for such a cause seems very little
"heA the seriousness OF the problem
is weighed.

All this spending Of your money for
more and more federal public power"
is unnecessary. Independent electric
light and power companies, like yours,
are ready and able to supply all the
electricity people will need Without
depending on taxes.
Unnecessary public power" spend
ing goes on because most people don't
know about it. So spread the word
among your friends and neighbors. AS
soon as enough people know. you can
be sure it will be halted.
