The long, exposed beaches of the Island of Hawaii were hardest hit, and survivors told how the huge, green wall of water swirled in, smashed cottages into kindling wood and carried helpless women and children with it when it reached

sharp coral reefs. Property ‘damage was unofficially estimated at between $10,000,000 and $30,000,000.

5 . In G. O. P. Prosecutor Race Offering a three-point program " PIAA ‘for law enforcement, Leo T. Brown, deputy prosecutor in charge of grand jury investigations, today announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for prosecutor, He pledged: ONE: Strict enforcement of laws against drunken driving, urging a new law that would make it a felo= ny for a driver to continue to opers ate a car while his license is susded. TWO: Vigorous prosecution of persons caught carrying guns without permits on the ground that they are potential killers although they may rot be criminals at heart. THREE: Invoking the limit of the law against habitual criminals, sentencing them to life imprisonment upon conviction of a third felony. Would Create Felony “Enforcement of laws provided against crimes.in these three classifications, in my opinion, will go far toward curbing the crime wave we have witnessed since the close of the war,” Mr. Brown said. “Too frequently a conviction does not keep drunken drivers off the streets during the periods of license suspension,” he said. “We can correct this evil by enactment of a law, making it a felony to drive a vehicle during the period of suspension. Under present laws, the offense is‘only a misdemeanor.” Eighth Ward Chairman

Mr. Brown has been active in Republican politics here for 20 years, serving 13 years as precinct committeeman and has been chairman of the eighith ward for eight

GUARD, RESERVE ASK

RETIREMENT PAY

WASHINGTON, April 4 (U. P). —Representatives of army reserve and national guard officers’ organizations have asked congress to pro vide retirement: pay benefits for non-professional soldiers. They told a senate military affairs subcommittee that retirement pay to reserve and national guard officers would encourage participation

of civilians in peacetime military training programs. They recommended this program of payments: ONE: Reserve and national guard officers ‘reaching: 60 years of age would be eligible if they have served a total of 20 years inactive and active duty. Of the 20-year total, two years would have to be spent on active duty. TWO: Payments would be computed at 2 per cent of their base pay in the highest rank held multiplied by their number of years’ service, not to exceed 30 years. Thus a 60-year-old non-professional officer with 20 years total service would receive 40 per cent of the yearly pay for his highest rank.

~ Baseball Group Fires On Park Board Fee

: By LARRY STILLERMAN . * The park board is churning through some choppy water all because the high command . issued traveling orders through a wrong latitude. { 4 And that latitude is approximately $66,000 off the main course, the park board leaders oat ? To get back on course, the park department” has increased swimming fees this summer 5 cents, upped golf charges $2.50 and contemplates nicking amateur . ball players: 25 cents’ everytime they step on public park diamonds. The Federation of Civic Clubs recently fired a broadside and the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball association plans to send the ship listing further at a meeting in the park's main cabin at 7:30 p. m. next Wednesday. Brown on Vacation

At that tentative set meeting, the I. A. B. A, will formally present a resolution adopted last night in which club members and officials are “unalterably opposed to raising additional funds by charging fees to play on public financed and mantained park diamonds.”

The association refused to meet with E. T. Lacey and A. Mark Cowen, park department divisional superintendents, saying they would only present their grievance to Paul V. Brown, park board director, when he returns from a week's vacation “somewhere in Florida.” “This association has performed for 34 years without having to pay for playing on public diamonds,” Dale . Miller, the association secretary, declared, “We refuse to com promise on any fee plan.” Threatens to End League Threatening to dissolve the amateur adult baseball leagues, Mr. Miller pointed out that any baseball levy would ultimately lead to charging for tennis, horseshoe pitching ands “charges even to enter the parks.” However, the park board is fully armed for the coming verbal battle. Before starting this year, the park board asked the high command budget making committee for $914,731 operational finances. In the effort to cut all tax expenses for 1046, the “committee”

reduced Mr. Brown's appeal to

$811,094 or. down to an approxi-

mate $.097 on the city civil tax rate. However, deciding that this was still too high for the operation of park hoard activities, the council further reduced the board’s appropriation. ; Off Main Course And this is where the fund -was tossed $66,000 off the main course. The board originally estimated revenue from fees at approximately $125,900. To slice the tax rate another penny, the budget committee added $66,000 to the estimated income, Mr. Brown and his mates estimate total receipts this year at $710,163 or approximately $100,000 below the budget appropriation. With the operation of Broad Ripple park, purchased last year, and increased swimming and golf rates, the estimated deficit will be cut to approximately $66,000 . . . again. Heated Battle Likely “To offset any possible running ‘into the red,’ we've got to increase fees,” say park board spokesmen. However, governmental research figures show that very seldom does any city department totally expend

its appropriation. Return of: budget appropriations has ranged to as high as 10 and 11 per cent in park’ department allotments, .reports® show, And. with this return on an $811,094 budget appropriation, the accrued “savings” should be ape proximately $80,000 and that elimie nates the- need for increased fees, opponents say. At any rafe, there promises to be a heated battle Wednestiay over the issues involved,

SUSAN HAYWARD IS NO. 1 REAL REDHEAD

HOLLYWOOD, April 4 (U, P,).— Make-up expert Buddy Westmore today picked Susan Hayward as the nation’s No. 1 redhead—born, not dyed. He told the Coiffure Creation Council of New York, which gave the palm to Rita Hayworth, to take a closer look. : “Her hair was black as ink when her name was Marguerita Carmen Cansino,” he said. “But there's not an artificial strand in Miss Hayward’s red héad.*
