"The last time Anderson pulled a stunt like this, he was convicted of breaking the law and was sentenced to do community service," Cayetano said. "We are not just talking about building a fish and chowder restaurant (Cayetano was referring to a Waikiki restaurant Anderson used to own. Anderson was found guilty of not having the proper permits to construct part of the structure, and was sentenced to do community service.) "We are talking about sacrificing hundreds of acres of prime agricultural land for a housing development. That is a major decision which deserves input from the City Council, the state and the residents of the affected areas before an informed, rational decision can be made," Cayetano said.

Anderson is on the Mainland and could not be reached for comment. Senate President Richard "Dickie" Wong, a longtime colleague of Anderson's in the state Senate, yesterday defended the Waiola Estates proposal, calling it "a step in the right direction." Wong is considering a run for governor as a Democrat. By Floyd K. Takeuchi Adiertiier Cniemment Bureau A Fasi administration plan to build 1.500 moderately-priced homes in central Oahu is a "cruel hoax" designed to "falsely raise the hopes of those who seek affordable housing," says the state senator who represents the area where the project would be built. Sen.

Benjamin Cayetano yesterday assailed city Managing Director D.G. "Andy" Anderson, chief proponent of the "Waiola Estates" proposal. Cayetano said Anderson was using the project for "obvious political purposes." Anderson is expected to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Cayetano is considering a run for lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket. Anderson this week unveiled an ambitious plan to build 1,500 fee-simple homes on 269 acres across Kamehameha Highway from the Gentry-Waipio subdivison.

The city would buy the land below market value from Castle Cooke, and sell the homes and lots for between $65,000 and $95,000 apiece. The Fasi administration this week spent nearly $12,000 on full-page newspaper advertisements, asking people to send in their names if they thought their income qualified them for the proposed project. By Anne Harpham dvetlinrr Religion riter The Governor'sMayors' Prayer Breakfast has tended to favor politicians for its keynote speakers, but the 1,000 people at yesterday's breakfast heard and gave a standing ovation to an Oahu Prison inmate on extended furlough. In fact, Tautunu Tanuvasa, who is serving four concurrent 20-year terms for armed robbery, replaced Congressman Walter E. Fauntroy of Washington.

Tanuvasa said he had a troubled youth in American Samoa, arrived in Hawaii in 1968 and was sentenced to prison in 1978. He has been on an extended furlough in which he is allowed to live with his family for a little more than a year.

Tanuvasa said he had "no fancy story to tell," but nevertheless held his audience spellbound. He recounted his trouble with alcohol, his life of stealing, his move to Hawaii, his troubles here with alcohol and drugs and then his convic- more I thought about my life I felt depressed." One day, when the mail was distributed, a package arrived for Tanuvasa. It was a Bible with his name engraved on it. sent to him by a woman who read of his sentencing. "I tried to reject it," he said.

"Having a Bible was a sign of weakness." But. he said, he didn't have anything else to do and had questions and doubts about salvation and Jesus Christ. He tried to read the Old Testament but found it difficult. "So I flipped through the New Testament. I read of Jesus Christ and the life of Paul.

As I was reading the Bible the spirit of the Lord opened up my eyes and my ears." Tanuvasa began working as a chaplain's assistant and a few months later was given a chance for extended furlough. He faces the parole board in July. "They say a lot of men in prison use Christianity to cop out," Tanuvasa said. "I don't worry because God keeps a record." Tanuvasa said the Christians in prison have used their influence "to mellow a lot of situations. A handful of us went against those who started a hunger strike and it folded."

Before he found faith, Tanuvasa said, his life "was full of bitterness, hatred there was no rest or peace in my life." He said he tried to commit suicide many times when he was in American Samoa. Tanuvasa was described in his introduction as a prison bully. He said he was locked up in a segregation unit for eight months. While separated from the main population of the prison, Tanuvasa said, "the ARTCO RATTAN BEST PRICES IN TOWN Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Service $95 WHOLE HOUSE Ms! jf 800 sq. ft.
