leaving the city over the Pall, or
"high place." Strikingly similar to
the Greensprlngs, the road circles
down into a beautiful valley on
the other side of the Koolau Range
tc Kaneohe, a small city of mod
ern homes and the U.S. Marine
air base.
This Is the windward side of the
Island, with a difference In the
waves and the beaches, and from
here glass-bottom boats take -visitors
out on the ocean to look at
marine life.
Al one point the tour stopped
at a charming House of Coral gift
shop, where pineapple juice was
dispensed "on the house" while
the Klambassadors added to their
souvenirs and chatted with the
manager and his wife who came
to the Islands more than 30 years
ago from Scotland. Later they
saw what looked like a crouching
lion in the mountains and stopped
tc view the dramatic Morman tem
ple, with formal gardens and a
setting which seemed almost Taj
Mahal inspired.
This part of the Island Is rural
and agricultural, with sugar cane
lining both sides of the road and
a modern sugar-making factory at
the farthest tip of the island.
Driving down the coast, they
passed a native in swim trunks
carrying his spear and a sack of
fish he'd Just caught, and noted
that all the beaches carry signs
"Swimming Dangerous." They
passed through pineapple fields,
some newly-plowed ready for the
next crop, some that had Just been
cut with the stubble still standing,
and others near harvest, and
stopped for a taste of delicious
pineapple fresh from the field.
After the island trip, they met
at a Japanese tearoom at 5:30 for
a traditional dinner where they
left their shoes outside, wore ki
monoes and sat cross-legged on
mats at the low tables to be
served exotic shark-fin soup, sukl
yaki (with chopsticks the only im
plements) and sakl. After d';iner
there was Japanese-Hawaiian en
tertainment, including hula lessons
for some of the group, then on
to another place for an Oriental
show, and then to bed.

OAKLAND, Calif. (UP) She!

Among his numerous enterprises

"We're-just a branch office!"
IT DIDNT HOLD WATER! I couldn't see his point when'
District Manager Charlie Jones said that . . . not a a
reason against chamber of commerce membership. I had
to ferret out his real objection and it wasn't too long
before he told me . . ."The chamber of commerce can't
help our company'! butiness." Then I let him continue...
hen ENT ON AND ON. "He'd be a terrific chamber
member if I could convince him," I mused. For like any
good sales manager, Charlie was a compelling speaker ...
only this time he'd forgotten the benchmarks of
marketing. The gist of his story was . . ."My company'!

, BUT THAT ONE GOT ME, so I reminded him . . .
"Having opened a branch here your company considers
this a good place to do business. This is your home, and
you, as branch, benefit from local chamber
, activities . . . community projects, the other indu.lrie
and new customers they bring in . . . everything
' ",y io helps your business."
NOW HE WAS LISTENING, practically nodding in
agreement, as I said . . ."You could give your home office
a doien reasons for joining. After all, what's a better way
to secure a market than help build it? Isn't any branch
office's first job to make itself psrt of the community?"
HE KNEW but I reminded him . . ."It's elementary to identify
yourself wilh the leading community organizations." So
Charlie threw in his briefcase. You should see it now though
... he packs as much chamber material as he does product
information. Today, Charlie Jones is not only his firm's best
sales manager, he's one of our best salesmen too.

but "not what we wanted." i
Lewis e-:Dlaned that the weether
map for Siberia "has hitherto been
a blank to countries outside the
Iron Curtain."
Tne Soviets accused the United
States of launching the balloons
from Europe to spy on installa
tions of the Communist countries
wilh cameras and other devices.
The Communists charged the bal
loons were a menace to their air
craft. Poland In a complaint to
the United Nations yesterday said
that exploding balloons burned
three Poles and wrecked their liv
ing quarters.
The United States vigorously de
nied the charges of espionage and
said the balloons carried only
weather instruments and an auto
matic radio transmitter to send
back weather Information. The
Americans said data collected
would be of value for the Inter
national Geophysical Year pro
gram, in which the Russians are
to participate along with the
United States and other countries.
The Americans also said their
balloons floated at 30.000 feet, well
above that generally used by pas
senger aircraft. Secretarv of State
Dulles told a news conference in
Washington the United states has
a right to send weather balloons
anywhere In the world but would
be "disposed to try to avoid the
territory of any country which felt
violent objection."

University Of Alabama
May Appeal To High Court
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UP) The
University of Alabama Monday
night announced Its Intention of ap
pealing the "Autherine Lucy case"
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
Attorney Andrew Thomas aald
the university definitely intends to
try to overthrow a federal district
court decision under which it was
forced to admit its first Negro
studen:.
The appeal is a separate action,
however, from two federal suits
brought by the student, 26-year-old
Autlierlnc Lucy, protesting her
exclusion from the campus because
of danger of further mob violence.
The university trustees "barred
her from further classes after
three days of rioting last week,
saying she would be reinstated as
soon as officials feel lt would be
safe to do so.
. . . and this big extra
helps make First National

When she brought dual suits for
Immediate reinstatement and for
full use of campus facilities the
university declared It would leave
the question of her return to class
entirely to the courts.
A hearing is set for Feb. 29.
Thomas said the university will
appeal the basic decision, handed
down last fall by Federal District
Judge H o b a r t Grooms, under
which Miss Lucy was admitted at
first.
The decision was upheld Dec. 30
by the U. S. Fifth Circuit Court
ot Appeals. Thomas said it was
the university's intention from the
start to appeal to the U. S. Su
preme Court in this event.
Grooms granted the university
an Injunction barring Miss Lucy
from class until final determina
tion of the caso by the Supreme
make the
Court and the Circuit Court of Ap
peals upheld the Injunction. How
ever, the U. S. Supreme Court
overruled the Injunction.
Thus was set the stage for Miss
Lucy's three days of classwork
starting Feb. 3. There were nightly
mass demonstrations and finally,
halls of stones and eggs aimed at
the Negro woman herself.
A legal observer said that ' so
long as all court decisions to date
stand Miss Lucv- cannot be barred
from classes solely because of an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Barring her for her safety is an
entirely different matter, however,
university authorities said.
