The Filipino Herald published twice monthly with a printing of 10,000 and an approxim ate readership of 50,000 Is owned and published by The Filipina Herald, Incorporated.

D ue to production problems ' caused by the shipping strike," The Filipino Herald is late pub- lishing this Issue. Future Issues w ill com e c u t on tim e unless the strike continues Indefinitely.

The Filipino Herald serves ap- proxim ately 50,000 Filipinas, 10,000 actual printing. B ased on census figures w ith an average of five persons' to each household.

COVER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe Filipino Herald is justifiably proud of the artistically

striking cover which graces our front page this issue.I t is the result of the combined efforts of Fortunato Teho,

well-known writer, photographer and televisionMr. Teho pooled his photo

one of Honolulu’s leading commercial artists.For details on Petilos’ background, tu rn to page 10

which displays more examples of his artistic talents. In our next issue, we will provide a close-up Of “Lucky” Teho, a multi-talented individual who is responsible for our photo coverage.

A Humanitarian ResponsibilityWe are a harried generation.

Added to the threat of nuclear warfare, disasters oc­curring with frightening consistency throughout the world (plane crashes, floods, widespread accidents, etc.) general unrest and tension—is one other problem we consider equally important: communication—or more accurately, the tragic lack of it. •

Effective communication consists of more than a lingual exchange between individuals and peoples.

As an example, on our last issue we worked hard to achieve something more than a journalistic and commercial triumph—we were also striving for an artistic success.

Apparently we succeeded.Among the numerous calls we received after our

first issue was a deeply touching one from a shy Fili- pino who called from the rural areas to tell us in halt- ing Tagalog that “he was proud—so very proud of the achievement o f The Filipino Herald."

This gentleman could barely speak English—yet the hard work we put into our layout, the effort that we expended in the production of our first issue came through, for this particular Filipino.

I f he was unable to read the English section, i t was obvious in his emotion-filled tribute that our “message” had gotten through. His statement th a t : “This is the first tim e.I have seen a high class Filipino publication—I am so proud to be a Filipino”—was reward enough for the arduous hours spent in striving for a high level first edition.

We believe that communication, as we said earlier, consists of more than just words.

I f on each page, our readers are able to perceive: sensitivity, compassion for our fellow man, love, under­standing, a desire to elevate rather than downgrade — then we have achieved communication.

We believe the most crucial problem confronting man­kind today is : understanding his fellow man. That is, if he tru ly desires to communicate with him.

But first, he must attempt to understand himself.

Said Andre Malraux: “The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at ran­dom between the profusion o f matter and that o f the stars; i t is that, from our very prison, we should draw from our own selves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.

This paper and this column have an interest in Waikiki as a prime tourist location. First: As citizens of the State, and second: A great many Filipinos are employed in the tourist industry and more particularly are employed in Waikiki.

W hat brings harm to the tourist industry and this State also bring harm to all Its citizens and those employed in this industry.

O u r governm en t and its o fficia ls have done a v e ry bad job as p lanners a n d developers o f W ai­kik i. U ntil recen tly lack of in te res t by th e general public h as been a con tribu ting fac to r in th e so rry sig h t th a t is W aik ik i today.

This is not a partisan matter,The last D em ocratic Mayor, John H. W ilson, to

his everlasting credit, resisted efforts by the short- sighted and the greedy to deviate from existing m aster plans that were designed to im prove Wai­kiki during his administration.

H ow ever, D em ocrats on th e C ity Council a re n o t blam eless fo r th e m is takes th a t have been m ade.

The present c ity administration w ith a Republi­can m ayor and a D em ocratic council share equally in th e blame.

It w as Johnny W ilson w ho predicted that “you w ill have to rent a hotel room to see W aikiki Beach.”

B ut the p roblem goes back m uch fa r th e r than th e p rese n t o r the p a s t c ity adm in istra tion . They a re a ll equally gu ilty o f a lack of foresigh t, vision, and p la in honesty in carry ing o u t p rev ious m aste r plans.

The rec o rd of th e p lanning com m ission— going ba ck th ir ty years— is so bad th a t it seem s danger­o us to leave decisions on th e fu tu re o f W aik ik i In th e ir hands.

Honolulu back In 1938, had the advice and the services o f one o f the world’s foremost c ity plan­ners: Lew is Mumford. His w arnings and advice w en t unheeded. If w e had listened to him then, w e m ight now be proud o f W aikiki— and Waikiki w ould remain forever as one of Hawaii’s greatest assets.

H e said this in his report on Honolulu: “Hono­lulu is the natural stage for a com plex and beauti­ful drama. The blue sea, the jagged mountains, the rhythmic roll o f the su rf over the coral reefs, and the tum bling clouds form a landscape that has few rivals as a setting for human activity. But the city itse lf has taken its splendid physical features in a som ew hat casual fashion.

. . . "H onolu lu h as now (1938) reached a po in t w here som e o f h e r n a tu ra l a d v an ta g es a re n o t m erely in d anger o f being neg lec ted : they have a lre ad y been spoiled.

Though th e indigenous life o f H onolulu is close to th e w a te r no a ttem p t h a s been m ade to pr e se rve th e app roaches to th e - w a te r to give v is tas o f th e sea . . . "

Later an attem pt w as m ade to preserve beach front land in W aikiki but the c ity fathers sab­otaged th a t For instance: The area m akai o f Ka- lakaua A venue running Diam ond Head from the Natatorium to the Elks Club w as once zoned for a public beach area.

Our City Council (then the Board of Supervisors) deleted this from the m aster plan. This opened up the area for the high rise buildings on the w ater that now hides Diamond Head from view . A nother instance In w hich 01 the public w elfare w a s i n“se t back” that w as e stab lished on the m auka side o f Kalakaua Avenue running from Lili uokalani to Kapahulu Avenue. This w as part o f the Bennet- M aler plan.

Veteran Ring Ref BelievesParet Death Will Not Have

Adverse Effect On BoxingWRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR THE HERALD

BY FORMER ISLAND BOXER AND SPORTSWRITER

LARRY MEDINA

The recent d e a t h o f Benny "Kid" Paret, ex-w elterw eight king, has created an impact that has shocked the boxing world.

Paret, the only champion ever to die for punishment Inflicted in this squared'Circle, was the K.O. vie- Um of a savage beating at the hands of Emile Griffith, current title holder.

Paret succum bed after lying In a life less com a for teN day since the title squabble o f March 24th.

W hat repercussion his d e a t h w ill have on fisticuffs In the fu- ture-has stirred up controve rsies throughout the fistic globe.

Forem ost question Is: “Could his death hare been prevented? If so, how?"

Can his death be attributed to som eone’s negligence?

If so, who?M ost controversial figure being

linked with the fatal bout is Ruby Goldstein, an outstanding a n d veteran referee, and the third man

in the ring during the Parct-Grif- fi th Joust.

Goldstein has been mentioned In certain fight circles with failing to exercise p r u d e n t judgment in halting the one-sided massacre In which Paret is reported to have re­ceived 20 or more blows w hile in a defenseless state.

The Irony to this charge, how­ever. Is that Goldstein has been panned by critics and boxing pun­dits w i t h prematurely stopping several t i t l e encounters: Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Randy Turpin and Floyd Patterson vs. Tommy “Hurricane” Jackson, to mention tw o at our fingertips.

Critics o f G oldstein have also forgotten that Griffith had pre­v iously knocked out Paret In their in itial m eeting and that middle­w eight cham p Gene Fullmer had adm inistered a severe lacing to Paret Just prior to the Griffith match.

The question here then is: “Was Paret highly susceptible to the le­thal blow because of his previous

beatings?"W e decided to explore further,

and w ere fortunate in securing the opinions o f P eter Thomas, the only Filipino fistic -arbitrator in the United States, and long con­sidered one o f the outstanding ex ­ponents o f island boxing.- V iew ing the subject f r o m a referee’s angle, Mr. Thom as stat­ed emphatically that his actions would have paralleled those of Mr. Goldstein’s. That the "third man’s” view was often to ta l ly different from those o f the average layman outside the rope square.

That a referee had an obliga­tion 'to the fight fans to help the combatants to w age their best possible fight and because o f the referee’s proxim ity, he w as in a better position to ascertain w heth­er either contestant w as in d is ­tress.

Thomas feels that the furor w ill die d o w n with tim e and that it w ill have no serious effect on the future o f boxing.

Thomas’ opinion Is that Paret’s death w as Just an "unfortunate accident.”

Union officers at Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com­pany's huge Maui plantation say that the company program of elim inating outlying camps w ill break up many fine com­munity relationships w h i c h have grown up over the years.

And yet she did not have the wide features of a Polynesian.Mingling among the polygot mixtures of Hawaii, she was like a chameleon—now passing for Hawai­ian, next being mistaken for a Chinese.

While the islands’ multi-racial complex gives an outward appearance of harmonious integration, the many races which comprise its make-up nave a ten­dency to stereotype one another.

Hence, someone could be described as " tall, like a Korean,” or “big, like a Kanaka.”

I t is understandable that her race would alw ays be a subject for speculation for she had a “Hawai­ian” body, yet her face was decidedly “Oriental.”

She had a small mouth and a pug nose; very little bridge which was upturned a t the tip. Her eyes were a feature that deceived most people. They were rath­er large for an Oriental, almost too round, yet slanted at the ends.

Because of the social discrimination Hawaii’s Filipinos had been subjected to in the past, she per­haps made too much of a point about her nationality.

To the often-asked question: “What nationality are you?”

Her answer was always a defensive, almost de­fiant: “Pure Filipino,” with a marked accent on the word “pure.” It was an expression of rebellion against others who had too often in the past, dis­avowed their Filipino heritage.

Other Filipinos might represent themselves as “part-Spanish” or call themselves “Spanish-Filipino- Chinese ’— but she could be proud of her moral cour­age in proclaiming to the world at large that she was a “pure Filipina.

But is she?Like most of the community, and this includes

Filipinos, she is unaware that there is no such thing as a “pure Filipino.”

Anthropoligically speaking, the Filipino as a “race” is nonexistent.

The term “Filipino” was derived from the original name given them by King Philip of Spain who dub­bed the natives “Philipians.”

The Malayans, their basic stock, are believed to have reached the Philippines Sumatraand Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos).

Tracing the origin of the “Filipino” before the coming of the Spaniards in the 16th century, un­furls an exciting “tapestry” of surprising strains and intermingled cultures which include Mongolian, Arabian and, according to historical data, even Egyptian!

?

I t is understandable therefore, to find marked traces of the Spanish, the Malayans and Chinese in? terlaced in the Filipino culture of today.

Just as the American culture has been influenced by immigrants of Italian, German, Irish and Negro peoples, the Filipino emerges 'as a blend of Spanish, Malayan and Mongolian.

The Spanish influence is dominant in their dances, (the La Jota, fandangos and others), in their food (chicken rellenos, arroz Valenciana, etc.).and, most markedly in their religion: they are almost 80 per oefrtr-Catholic.

The Chinese infusion is still very much apparent in a great m any Filipinos of today. In the Philip- pines, as in Hawaii, i t is often difficult to discern the difference between Chinese and Filipinos for they often share the same physical characteristics: the slight build of the men, the fragile “Chinese” struc­ture of the women who are able to interchange per­sonalities by the mere switching from terno to cheongsham.

“Pansit,” the popular noodle , dish of Filipinos is merely a variation of the original Chinese “‘Gon Lo Mein.”

f r m t o f t h e

live a proud and independent people, differing in re­ligion and culture from the great mass of the Philip­pine population.

These Filipinos embraced Mohammedanism as early as the 14th century and have since successfully resisted attempts at Christianization.

Frequently defiant and fierce, they are neverthe­less outstandly beauty-loving as revealed in their art, music, dance and literature. Arabian, Malayan and Indonesian influences are reflected in their dances. According to statistics, the Philippines has achiev- ed one of the highest literary levels in the F ar E ast."

Anthropological estimates shows 43 distinct eth­nographic groups speaking 87 languages and di­alects.

Because of the vast number of dialects, Filipinos from different regions cannot readily understand each other's native language.

In an attempt to develop a common language, the government required Tagalog instruction m schools.

Today, English, Spanish and Tagalog are the of­ficial languages.

The Philippines bears the imprint of more than 300 years of Spanish rule, followed by approximate­ly half a century of American influence.

In philosophy and general outlook, the Filipino of today still bears much of the influence of the Spanish rule. Gradually supplanting this is an increasing, westernized outlook. They have adopted Roman law and presently reflect a strong central government.

American influence is responsible for their demo­cratic form of government. They have a universal system of public education in English. Health and sanitation programs have been established.

Life in rural Philippines, today as in the past, is comparatively simple and pleasant. In a country abundantly blessed by Nature, there is much to cele­brate in dance, song, and story. Dances of the Philip­pines countryside express the people’s joy in work, their natural love for music and gaiety, their delight in simple things, a good harvest, birds gamboling in green fields.

Just as common opposition to Spanish colonial rule helped foster unity among Filipinos in the Philip­pines— an intense desire to elevate themselves from the “underdog” level is helping to promote greater unity among Hawaii Filipinos.

As they become aware of their identity, develop pride in the richness of their origin—the more quick- lv will they become assimilated in the mainstream of Hawaiian life.

There is a growing interest in their affairs and aspirations. And why not?

They are an interesting people who are going'

Honolulu Audiences Acclaim Performance of 'La Traviata '

every once in a w hile an opera hits town, an occurence w hich is rare in this island paradise.

With the presentation o f "La Traviata.” however, our audiences w ere offered a double bonus— the opportunity to hear a real opera and the delight o f hearing voices such as those belonging to the principles — Eva Likova. Ercole Bertolino and William Lewis.

“La Traviata" was adopted from a famous romance w ritten by Alexander Dum as, fils, called La Dame Aux Camilles. It w as this novel that made Dumas really celebrated and it w as this story that Verdi took and molded into one of the world's favorite operas.

The tale's center la Violetta, beautiful and sought-after toast o f Parisian society. From the moment w e first m eet her, it becom es ap­parent that she Is ill.I t Is the very spell o f breath­

The beautiful Italian words seem to enhance his com position. They became increas­ingly expressive even though many people do not understand the language In the literal sense. The costum es w ere lovely, e s ­pecially V ioletta's gow n of white. They truly recreated the generosi­ty . brilliance and achievem ents of that period. Even the dancers, who had a relatively short part, were costum ed In gold gypsy dresses. This added to their dancing.

Ercole Bertolino has an extra­ordinary baritone voice and. in my opinion, played his father role with brilliance. And the star. Eva Ukova.- both acted and sang her role superbly.

A ll of this description is noth­ing like seeing an opera, any opera, for that matter.

There is som ething utterly be­w itch ing about the human voice, a quality w hich can not be found In any other form o f sound, a quality that seem s to w oo. Opera is Just as "smooth" as Brubcck. Winding. Jamal or Fitzgerald.

Their aged and w ork-w orn faces occasionally light at a passing re­mark, but their pleasure is ob­viou sly in the preparation o f the f ish and vegetables lying on the rough table.

T hese are no ordinary men.They are Filipino patients o f the

State Hospital In Kaneohe, w hose cooking is a part o f their special therapy program.

These m en represent one o f the m ajor m ental health problems of the Filipino Comm unity in Hawaii.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE APPARENTLY CALM, ADJUST­ED MEN? W hy do they remain in the hospital year after year? What is happening to their fellow Fili­pinos?

To find an answ er The Filipino H erald w en t to Dr. Godofredo C. Evora. the first psychiatrist o f Fili­pino ancestry. licensed to practice in Hawaii.

Considered an authority on the problem s o f his fellow country­men, Dr. Evora w as bom and edu­cated in the Philippines, receiving s p e c i a l training in the U nited States. In 1958 he cam e to Hawaii w here he joined the sta ff o f the State M ental Hospital. S ince then he has joined the staff at the Con­valescent Center, a s w ell as start­ed a series o f m onthly clinics on Kauai.

"But." according to Dr. Evora. "we do have a number of special problem s that are more or le ss unique to us.”

SURPRISINGLY. THE FILIPI­NO S HAVE VERY LITTLE PROB LEM WITH ALCOHOLISM. Gen erally qu ite thrifty and hard-work ing. they find little appeal to ex pensive drinking.

The carefu lly suppressed hurts and resentm ents o f those w ho do drink arc qu ickly freed by the In­hibition-releasing qualities of al­cohol.

A short period o f drinking us­ually erupts to v iolence, requiring restraint before a chronic state o f alcoholism can deve lop__

THE MOST COMMONLY REC­OGNIZED PROBLEMS are those that stem from the unfortunate ra­t io o f m en to w om en that has been at tim es to excess o f approximate­ly 19 to I. The m ajo r ity o f em o­tional problems that have received professional a ttention can be said to have resulted from this im­balance.

Enter the Filipino Herald Contest See RulesSenator Long, Mr. C hairm an, Ladies and G entlem en:All m en have ideals. Ideals w hich th ey love and cherish . Ideals

w hich they hold to th e ir h e a r ts and live by. T hese ideals mold charac te r and shape destiny.

N ations, too, have ideals. One of A m erica’s nob lest is expressed in th e in scrip tion a t th e base of th e S tatue of L iberty which reads:

“Give m e y our t ired , y ou r poor Y our huddled m asses y earn ing to b rea th e free ,T he w retched re fuse of your teem ing shore S end these, th e hom eless, tem pest-tost to me,1 l if t m y lam p beside th e golden door.”

B ecause of ideals like these, Am erica s tan d s today as a sh in ing sym bol of hope to th e enslaved and persecu ted peoples of th e world.

If we do n o t excercise th e p rerogatives of f re e m en, w e m ight as w ell be slaves. If we a re n o t w illing and eag er to actively dem onstrate ou r fa ith in th e A m erican ideals th a t a ll m en are created , th a t t h e / a re endow ed by th e ir c rea to r w ith certa in inalienable righ ts, th a t A LL A m erican citizens stan d eq u a l before th e law regard less of th e ir race, th e ir co lor o r th e ir c reed— then th e re w ill one day be en th roned in th is fa i r land , a cruel, strange and atheistic dynasty begotten of o u r apathy . Every th ing th a t we hold n e a r and d ea r w ill be w iped from th e face of the earth . “ Life w ill be b u t a ta le told by an id io t fu ll o f sound and fury, sign ify ing noth ing .”

If th a t love of th e A m erican ' ideal ev e r w ithers an d dies in your h eart, don’t send to know fo r whom th e be ll tolls— it to lls for you, i t to lls fo r me, it tfills fo r a ll hum anity . W hy? Because th a t love w hich you hold in y ou r h e a r t is p a r t o f th e “s till sm all voice” you’ve heard so m uch about. I t is p a r t o f th e “Kingdom of God w ith in you.”

W ould you like to d e m o n s tra te actively y ou r love of the Am erican ideal? Fate , th is ve ry day, o ffe rs you a m any splen- dored opportun ity .

N ex t Jan u a ry , a t th e Second Session of th e 85th C ongress, the U. S. Senate w ill have before i t th e unanim ous recom m endation of th e C om m ittee on In te r io r and In su la r A ffairs, th a t th e T e r­rito ry o f Haw aii be adm itted to th e Union as a sta te .

W hy do th e people of Haw aii h unger fo r sta tehood? Funda­m entally , th e people of Haw aii w an t sta tehood fo r th e sam e reason th a t th e o rig inal A m erican colonists w anted th e ir inde­pendence—they sim ply w an t th e r ig h t to govern them selves. T hat m eans th a t th ey w ill have:

F u ll rep resen ta tio n in th e U. S. Congress T h e rig h t to vote fo r P residen t T he rig h t to choose th e ir own G overnor T h e rig h t to choose th e ir own Judges

T he opponents of sta tehood say th a t th e people of Haw aii are not loyal. T his is ridiculous! T he loyalty of th e people of Hawaii was p roved w ithou t question in W orld W ar II and th e K oreanW ar. I t ’s a ll on th e record . T he question of loyalty was settledw ith blood by Haw aii’s c itizens of all races.

D uring W orld W ar H , th e re was n o t one single case of sabotage by any. segm ent of th e civilian population.

A w illingness to serve in ba ttle in su p p o rt o f an ideal is surely th e sup rem e te s t o f loyalty to th a t ideal. T he youth of Hawaii

I t is dow nright m ockery and derision w hen a m em ber of the U nited S tates House of R epresen ta tives takes th e floo r and so lem nly d eclares th a t Hawaii, if g ran ted sta tehood, would send rep resen ta tiv es of K rem lin to Congress.

To deny sta tehood to H aw aii is a n in su lt to h e r people. I t is an in su lt to o u r fo re fa th e rs who fram ed th e C onstitution and the B ill o f Rights. I t is an in su lt to all who ev e r died to p reserv e the A m erican ideals o f L iberty , Ju stice and E q u a l i t y is an insu lt to hum anity. I t is scandalous. I t is sacrilegious.

In th e nam e of Honor. In th e nam e of Justice . In th e nam e of D ignity. In th e nam e of C hivalry. In th e nam e of a ll th a t is good and tru e and patrio tic—rig h t th is wrong!

T he r ig h t to govern is a basic, fu ndam en ta l righ t. To secure th a t righ t, th e A m erican R evolutionary W ar was fought. To se­cu re th a t rig h t, th e peoples of H ungary, P oland and Yugoslavia a re constan tly revo lting against th e ir Soviet m asters.

G ranting sta tehood to Haw aii would be an outstand ing d ra ­m atic exam ple to o u r ne ighbors in and b o rdering th e Pacific of A m erican idealism in action. I t would give th em an opportun ity to com pare A m erican sincerity w ith em pty C om m unist prom ises.

T he people of Haw aii w an t statehood. T hey deserve statehood. T hey a re fu lly capable of handling statehood. Those- should be reasons enough to g ra n t it. B ut H aw aiian sta tehood is m uch m ore im p o rtan t to th e G overnm ent of th e U nited S ta tes and th e peace of th e world th a n i t w ill ev e r be to th e half-enfranchised citizens o f those lovely islands. W hy? W ell, sim ply because Hawaii, as a s ta te , can p lay a g rea t ro le fo r A m erica in th e Pacific.
