4 Tht Newt-Rtview, Rosebura, Or.-Thur., Sept. 29, 1949 Hawaii's Police Comprised Of Many Nationalities, Including Irishmen; Chief Is Chinese, With U.S. Spouse By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (" Men of Mercy nations comprise th police fores among the pineapples of tha Paradiie of tha Pacific And that doesn't aeem at all unuiual to the top cop of Honolulu big Dan Lul, 40, a six-foot-one inch Chineie, "We have at leaat a dozen nationalists on our police force," ha laughed. "And don't think we're without Irish cops. Liu is proud of the fact he him' self worked up through every rank to become the first Chinese Chief of Police of an American city. His force reflects the poly glot population of the island melt ing pot. ' "One-third are Hawallans they really love to be policemen," said Dan. The other two-thirds are Cau casians, Japanese, Chinese, Sa moans and Filipinos. Liu came to the mainland to attend an International cop cau cus, at which he reported on Hon olulu's measures to avoid "an other Pearl Harbor." "We were the first police force to organize for atomic defense," he said. "If an atom bomb falls on our city we'll be ready to dis charge our responsibllty to he community." Then he smiled as he adder!: "Of course if our police are within a two-mile range of the explosion well, they'll be out." Dan looks nelilier as myster ious as Charlie Chan nor as stolid as the average police chief who worked his way up from a beat pounder. He belongs to the newer generation of cops who think that ) x.MAKESIVERYMEAt If A PICNIC! Limit On Income Taxes Asked By Mining Congress SPOKANE, Sept 28. The American Mining Congresa Tuesday called for a 50 per cent limit on individual Income taxes. A statement of policy released at the group's western division convention here also asked the government: To curb "excessive welfare ac tivities." To change the system of stock piling strategic minerals for pos sible wartime use. To maintain protective tariffs for the mining industry. To provide incentive payments "to encourage prospecting, ex ploration and development of mines producing essential minerals." The group's statement on taxes said that present federal taxes "remove practically all Incentive for effort and Investment In risk enterprises." "Corporate and Individual taxes, and their combined effect, should not be such as to leave inade quate incentive for incurring risk and producing income. 'The maximum tax on Individ ual Income should in no event ex ceed 50 per cent. The statement said the mine operators "are deeply concerned about legislative proposals for an expanded 'social security' pro gram. And that the strongest emphasis should be placed on self help and ambition to produce. preventing crime Is as Important as catching criminals. His force has a full program of sports, hobby training and recre ational activities for Honolulu youngsters, and It mixes the kids of all races together at an early age. "Youth holds the key to our future democracy," said Dan. "It is for that reason we try to work among the young so much to teach them the American tradi tion of good will and tolerance." Liu sets his police officers a good example by his own off-duty civic work. He is a leader In the local council of churches, the YMCA and Boy Scout activities. The racial harmony that pre vails In the Hawaiian isles is the envy of other areas where differ ences in color, politics or reli gion cause violence. "Our crime rale is lower than many olher cities of the aame population group," said Dan, who believes this is true largely be cause of the islands' no-dlscrim-lnation policy. He Is married to girl from Mississippi. ROMAN MEAL Bread Helps Me Rvrs'- -..a". .. Mick to my Reducing Diet '''' ..
