Howoii's 'Biq Five
BY. SYLVIA PORTER

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-In Ha-
waii, there remains a central
ization of economic power in
the hands of the few which in
this era has no parallel in any
other State in the Nation.
I was utterly unprepared for
facts which Hawaiians take for
granted, and I find it hard to
believe that Hawaii's legislature
is only now officially question:
ing its own business caste"
system.
An easily ana proudly iden-
tifiable corporate big Five"
still control directly or affect
indirectly through interlocking
directorates or stock ownership
most Of the key aspects of
business in Hawaii.
Five Are Listed
The five are: Alexander &
Baldwin, Ltd; American Fac
tors, Ltd; C. Brewer & Co.,
Ltd; Castle & Cooke, Inc;
Theo. H. Davies & Co., Ltd.
More specifically, the first
four control 85.17 per cent of
Hawaii's sugar production, its
No. l private industry, and a
substantial share of its pine
apple production, the No. 2
private industry.
The same four control 1855
per cent of the stock of Matson
Navigation Co., whose vessels
carry over 80 per cent of the
freight between Hawaii and the
mainland-and more than half
of everything Hawaii produces
or consumes Is shipped over
seas to or from the mainland
The same four have nine
directors on Matson's board
and these nine also hold los
additional positions in 81 other
companies-therby directly in
terlocking MatSon and the
other 81 companies.
With Theo. H. Davies
which controls a hefty handful
of companies on its own-these
make up a Big Five whose
influence indisputably spreads
through and pervades the
seven islands that are Hawaii
BY my yardsticks as a main
lander. this is quite a concen-
tration of influence indeed
but most Hawaiians see il
differently.

sites. But it also has draw
backs. Local pressures have re-
suited in hodge-podge coming
in past years. The county
farmers traditionally have
bucked government restrictions
Of any sort. A bill to put most
of the county under zoning
controls is headed for success
in Annapolis this year, after
years of controversy.
The lag in Prince Georges
County's plans for industry can
be seen in comparative figures
prepared by the National Cap
ital Regional Planning Coun-
Gil. The council estimates the
county now has 450 acres zoned
for industry along the immedi-
ate route Of the Beltway. BY
contrast, Fairfax County has
an estimated $50 acres, and the
city of Alexandria alone an
additional 900 acres. This is
available land, ready for con-
Struction now.
Highway Work LagS
Privately, several planners
think Prince Georges will never
attract the high-income scien-
tific community that has al
ready flocked to Montgomery
and parts of Fairfax counties.
Let's face it," says one Of
ficial, these scientists and their
research companies are prestige
conscious. They're locating
where other scientists are
near National Institute of
Health, or the new Bureau of
Standards, or near their big
gest customer, the Pentagon. I"
A third drawback is that long
after Virginia finishes its last
leg of the circumferential in
1868 Prince Georges will still
be waiting for construction.
Authorities are vague, but say
sometime after 1865 will see
final segments built in Prince
Georges.
The reason for the lag lies
in earlier planning policy. Years
ago Prince Georges officials
told State authorities they
wanted top priority on radial
h G hways. These are the
heavily-travelled "spokes" that
carry motorists into Washing
ton. Lack of funds prevented
builders from completing both
radialS and the circumferen-
tial, so the latter was delayed
Rich Potential
Despite all this, Prince
Georges still holds a rich po-
tential in industrial develop
ment along the circumferen-
tial because Of its open spaces
and rail-highway complex to
the northeast.
Both William e. Finley, d.
rector of the National Capital
Planning Commission, and Mr.
,Bogley think distribution cen
ters will show the fastest
growth along the route in this
county.

opment," declares Donald C

Five stems from the fact that
they represent the imaginative,
courageous interests whic h
through the generations have
built these islands to their
present status. The Big Five
freely acknowledge the respon-
sibilities of power and they
have poured tens of millions
into public services and expen-
Sive, time-consuming expert
mentS with new agricultural
and in duStrial enterprises.
What's more, as money and
manpower have been moving
in from the mainland, the in
fluence of the Big Five has
Shrunk in comparison.
Nevertheless, in January
HawaiianS were jolted into
remembering details they had
pushed into the backs of their
minds. when a pioneering study
of interlocking relationships
between four of the Big Five
and Matson, by Professors
Vernon Mund and Fred c.
Hung, was issued by the
University of Hawaii.
Bill introduced
During my stay a bill to
outlaw potentially harmful in
terlocking relationships was
introduced into the Hawaiian
Legislature and opinion is that
a modified antitrust law well
may pass this year.
1t would be impertinent for
a short-tem visitor to guess
the timing and extent OF
changes in Hawaii's extraor-
dinary business structure-and
incidentally, an observant re-
porter also cannot miss the
parallel between this great
Capitalization of business in
fluence and the concentration
of labor union influence in the
form of the ILWU's control
over sugar, pineapple workers
and longshoremen.
But. for the first time, our

present to assure an ever

Working hard day after day for
something he was sure that the
community of East Broadway
needed, Rev. Holmes after decid-
ing to reside in South Phoenix
found that to get good postal Serv-

Central and Broadway. He inn
mediately went to work to get a
post office on East Broadway. In
order that a place for the post Of
flee could be located, Rev. Holmes
bought the grocery store formerly
owned by the late Mr. Bolen.
The post office section is built
on the east side of the store. There
will be part time employee in
the post office. The rest of the
time Rev. Holmes will handle the
postal service along with his groc-
cry duties.
Rev. Holmes came to Phoenix

the payroll. The government pays
for all the help. To the residents
of South Phoenix this will mark
the first post office that's operated

Zone of the larger burdens we

some sacrifice and thrift marri-
age would not keep Emmett from
realizing his ambition to be a real
research scientist in biology Rose
mary went to Arizona State at
Tempe, and Emmett went to Pho
nix College that summer and then
into the service and 'ater returned
to complete his work at P. c. Dean
Robert Hannelly remembers En-
NETT graduated from P. c. in
January of 1947 standing 18th from
the top of his class of 1876. He had
now taken advantage of all the
public education offered in Phoe-
nix and had earned the kind of
scholastic record, to show for it,
that was to make the next schools
he attended have some respect for
his ability and his seriousness as
a student.
After P. C. he attended the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley
with a scholastic background that
permitted him to do the rest OF
his undergraduate work as ma
jor in bio-chemistry, his favorite
subject. By now Emmett and Rose
mary were sure that marriage
would not interfere with Emmett S
school career. They figured that
with his G.. l.. help and the scholar
ships that we're beginning to come
his way, and her patience about
not having all the things some
other wives had, they could make
| it through to Emmett's graduate
degrees; he wanted to get his Phi.
ID. Emmett earned his Masters S
degree on time and taught for a
short while, I understand, but ne
still had before him his goal to
become a research worker in bio
chemistry. He entered Stanford on
scholarship and, teaching and
studying, he earned his Ph. D. in
bio-chemistry.
l am writing this account OF
Emmett Chapelle so that our young
people can know what a Negro stu
dent can do who gets all that he
possibly can from his years in
elementary and high school, and
what this makes it possible for
him or her to do with their lives.
