By MORRIS SIEcEL

WHOEVER MADE OUT the commitment papers cover
ing the assignment Of Bo Belinsky to Hawaii obviously
didn't know his subject WELL One stipulation for example,
gives the Angels the right to recall their efhanded heion
within "a hours.
In Los Angeles 1t often took Manager Bill Rgney twice
that long just to locate his curfewbreaker Now that
he's outside the continental limits of the United States
the Angels should have given him at least weeks notice
to get out of town. particularly in swinging town like
Honolulu.
When they dispatched him to their island farm club
the Angels tried to leave the impression the
made for disciplinary reasons Not at all true Beinsky
fans may rest assured
1.-THE reason this is being done Rgney said Saturday
when Bos eSrangement from the Angels announced
sis that want this fellow to out and play just play"
Giving Belinsky license to play is like giving the
Russians key to CIA headquarters.
IN THE FACE OF evidence to the contrary, 1t is
assumed that Hawaii still gungho over Statehood Our
newest little sisters attitude could very well change after
Bo arrives and gets chance to size up his new payand
He could pose the greatest threat of secession since
Fort Sumter, although his remarks on being banshed did

However at time did he leave the impression he
happy about the temporary divorce from the Angels,
Hollywood, night life and Mamie Van Doren.

could get competition between Bensky's pitching assign
ments.
The prospects of Bo in Alohaland are so intriguing
that this researcher turned to the office of Senator Hiram
Fong of Hawaii yesterday to determine what the Senator
thought about the turn Of events.
The Senator wasn't present. not unusual in Washing
ton. An administrative assistant with soft voice took
over He sounded Hawaiian that the lacked only
the background music Of steel guitar twangng blue
Hawaii to make it completely authentic.
What do you think will happen to Hawaii when Bo
Belinsky gets there?"
"Bo BeinSky?" he repeated. II don't think q, =.
Surely you know of Bo Belinsky" said.
"Oh" he answered, apologetcally, "it seems like I
have heard of him somewhere"
WHAT TIME DO THE night clubs in Honolulu closer"
asked trying to give the from the Senator's office
clue to Beinskys social hobbies to aid the Identification
"Legaly?" he asked, gleefully.
That was enough to convince me things wouldn't be
all bad for Bo there.
How far is the baseball field from downtown Homo
lulu?" inquired. Then, busting to showing off
parenhetcal information picked up from old Hawaiian
travel brochure, added: Take the banyan tree the
Iolani Palace Grounds as a starting point"
-Four or five miles," he answered
"Is 1t anywhere Waikiki Beach2"
Maybe mile. Even foggy night 1t Is possible to
zee lights from the stadium standing the terrace Of the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel Very near waikiki"
This might be close Bo gets to the balpark
Eventually the aide remembered he had indeed heard of

"The tempo of Hawaii may slow him down." he said.
That dead giveaway that he really didn't know
Bo at all.
