Julian R. Yates R-Hawaii, introduced a "Little Reno" bill in the Senate yesterday to reduce State divorce residence requirements from two years to six weeks. Yates said his measure would stimulate the tourist industry here. He also introduced companion measures that would close divorce hearings to the public and make two years of separation of husband and wife grounds for divorce.

A similar residence measure was defeated in the Territorial Legislature some years ago, after it was stormily denounced by local clergymen. At that time, it had the backing of Waikiki restaurateur Donn Beach. YATES INDICATED he expected controversy over his bill. He added: "We have divorce all the time, so why can't we open up so these people can come down here At least it's going to bring -people into the place, and they won't have the chance of losing money by gambling as they do in Nevada." Yates said he settled on six-week residence because that is what is required in Nevada. "After they've been here six weeks they may decide to stay here, "Yates said.

VOTING STARTED last Friday after negotiations for a new contract reached an apparent stalemate. The last of the 25 union-organized plantations completed its balloting yesterday.

One plantation, Gay C. Robinson on Kauai, is not unionized. No date has been set for a strike. I Some 10,000 ILWU sugar workers have been without i a contract since the previous two-year agreement expired on Jan. 31.

They stayed off the job for 10 days immediately after the contract expired, to discuss contract negotiations, but that was the only work stoppage based on the contract dispute. THERE HAS been speculation that Federal mediator George Hillenbrand, now in town to mediate an ILWU-Hilo auto firms dispute, may soon enter the sugar negotiations. Hillenbrand arrived last week after the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service decided to "intervene on our own" in the. relatively minor Hilo auto firms strike. The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Assn.

has proposed mediation of the sugar contract dispute, but the ILWU has neither accepted nor rejected the suggestion.

Without discussion, the House accepted the committee's recommendation that disclosure of connections with "Communist, Fascist or any subversive activity or association" be limited to the five years prior to employment. The bill comes up for final approval today.

PRESENTLY, applicants are required to disclose whether they are now or have ever been a member of the Communist Party or a Fascist organization or employed by a foreign government. Rep.

The Council set six special budget sessions during the next two weeks to con-cider the proposals. In his budget message the Mayor said: "Our purpose here is simply to meet the most basic needs of the growing population of metropolitan Honolulu. "It does not go beyond our most essential responsibility to our Island and her people." THE BUDGET was essentially the same one that the Mayor outlined to Council-men during a special budget meeting last month.

It calls for a 77-cent increase in real property tax assessment, from $13.89 to $14.66 per $1,000 valuation. The new budget asks a $4 2-million increase in operating expenses the bulk of the new funds going for 1 3JT I 94 per cent in favor of strike authorization.

'fisu'ita jot4, wv. Three Navy men were shot to death on Midway yesterday two of them slain by a third man Mho apparently committed suicide and for a time a reign of terror gripped the tiny island. Midway, covering square miles, is 1,200 miles northwest of Honolulu. School classes were canceled while a manhunt was organized for a sailor believed armed with a Browning automatic rifle (BAR), a .30 caliber M-l rifle and a .45 caliber pistol. THE SAILOR was found dead in an old, abandoned bunker.

He apparently was a suicide. Navy investigators believe the sailor shot and killed two Navy sentries early yesterday morning. The two sentries were found shot to death about 3:30 a.m. Hawaii time (2:30 a.m. Midway time), just 10 minutes after they had called in to the sentry control post and reported nothing unusual.

A NAVY spokesman said that there was no apparent reason for the shooting and that an investigation was under way. All three sailors were assigned to the U.S. Naval Station on Midway. The spokesman said the sentry control post on Midway made a routine radio check of the two sentries about 10 minutes after they had called in. Failing to get an answer, post personnel telephoned the sentry posts.

WThen there still was no answer, security police went to the posts and found the bodies. Names of the three dead men are being withheld pending notification of the next of kin. U.S. Vows To Speed Up Alliance Aid SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (UPI) The United States pledged last night to help speed Central America's economic and social progress and strengthen it against Communist subversion from Cuba. The U.S.

pledge was contained in a "Declaration of Central America" signed by Kennedy and the presidents of the five Central American Republics and Panama after two days of conferences. AGREEMENT slso wa3 reached to hold a high-level conference among the Central American states and Panama in April to "develop and put into immediate effect common measures to restrict the movement of their nationals to and from Cuba and the flow of material, propaganda, and funds from that country."

Nadao Yoshinaga, D-Maui, would require most large retail stores and supermarkets to close on Sundays.

Ching said "it was obvious after some investigation that certain merchants would not close their stores on Sundays voluntarily. "There are always some people who will take advantage of every opportunity at the expense of their employes." YOSHINAGA SAID "the St' Advrti.r Photo by T. Umcdi Aboard the helicopter were Capt.

He said the Sunday closing bill is "based on U. S. Supreme Court decisions that this type of law is of a social welfare rather than a religious nature."

D. H. Ching, Leeward Oahu Democrat, said yesterday that "Hawaii is rapidly falling into the highly commercialized Sunday business operations that prevail on the West Coast." Ching, who yesterday introduced a Sunday closing bill in the House, said he did so "because of many requests from individuals who have no wish to" work on Sundays as well as similar requests from business people who would like to have the opportunity to enjoy a day of rest with their families." 4 i A Vmbir Frieri' DeMtt In Hawaii FIRST ft it.
