Washington - Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, in
a speech to a joint meeting of Congress Wednesday,
called on the United States to establish contact with
the Palestinians to bring about a true peace in the
Middle East, The visiting Arab leader said he had
come to Washington seeking understanding, not aid,
and urged the United States to refrain from spurring
the arms race in the Middle East. Sadat received a
polite but restrained welcome from a Congress
which historically has been an Israeli partisan in
Middle East affairs. "The Palestinian question is
the heart and core of the entire dispute, and once
solved all other outstanding issues can be solved,
thus realizing the hopes of many of us who are striv
ing to make peace a living reality," Sadat said.

Madrid - Generalissimo Francisco Franco's doctors
attached a kidney machine to the 82-year-old leader
Wednesday to try to stem uremic poisoning that is
threatening his amazing battle for life. Doctors also
prepared for a possible lung crisis they said could
mean the end. Franco's weight has dropped to 88
pounds during his 119-day illness and he was de
scribed as in great pain and his condition grave.
Medical consultants said kidney failure, the latest
complication wracking Franco, indicated that his

Wednesday. Tuesday he bought her a wedding ring
with 72 flawless blue white diamonds.

Buenos Aires - President Isabel Peron, facing
threats of impeachment because of alleged corrup
tion in government, recuperated in the hospital yes
terday from an acute gall bladder attack. The arrest

reinforcements and Royal Air Force jet fighters to
the colony.

Washington - The Kissinger age may be over. In

has stripped Henry Kissinger of his prime power
source, which is his workaday morning hour in the

sources after the Cabinet shake-up confirmed by
President Ford.

Brussels - Among America's European allies, the
ouster of Defense Secretary James Schlesinger was
seen as a victory for Secretary of State Henry Kis
singer. European government officials and commen

detente, but said Schlesinger's replacement by Don
ald Rumsfeld would have little other major effect.

WINDWARD OAHU
Your Introduction to Honolulu

As we approach the island of Oahu, the long antici
pated view of "Vacation in Paradise" unfolds in a mag
nificent panorama of sparkling white beaches, lush
tableland and tropical mountains.
From the ship we look North-Northwest of our line of
approach to Mokapu Point, on Nokapu Peninsula, to
Makapuu Point off our starboard bow.
Most of the land area between the tWo points was
once primarily used for dairy and truck farms and some
beef cattle. A sugar plantation Was located in the Wai
manalu district.
The Kalama, Kailua and lanikai Beach areas have
always been populiar recreational grounds for islanders.
But the slow, tortuous route over the Nuuanu Pall tended
to restrict any great surge of development.
With the completion of the Wilson Tunnel through
the Koolau Range, the Windward Side became easily
accessible to Honolulu and residential development
moved ahead at an overwhelming pace. Today, much
of the agricultural land has been converted into vast
housing developments.
In the distance you can see Mokulua Rock, a bird
sanctuary off Lanikai and, as the view tightens, Manana
Island (popularly known as Rabbit Island) off Waima
nalu Beach opposite the site of Sea Life Park. Some will
tell you Manana was called Rabbit Island because it
resembles a rabbit. Others say the name came from the

THE Polynesian	PUBLISHED DAILY AT SEA BY	Pacific Far East Line

fact that rabbits were once released on the island in
a commercial venture that failed.
The most distinctive landmark in sight is Makapuu
Point, at the southerly tip of the Koolau Range, with its
lighthouse perched on a bluff high above the waves
crashing at the base of the cliff.
Makapuu Light, sitting on its hill top, has been the
"guiding eye" for ships approaching Honolulu for many
years. Makapuu is a fitting name for such a setting as it
means "Hill Point" and/or "Bulging Eyes" in Hawaiian.
Shortly after leaving Makapuu Point, we steam past
a sweeping white sand beach. A highway separates the
beach area from a shallow valley that reaches to the
foothills. The valley, Kalama Valley, once supported
small pig and chicken farms until April l, 1946, when
a devastating tidal wave swept from the Pacific, surged
over the beach and highway into Kalama Valley, de
stroying most of the farms. The wide expanse of green
lawns you see in the approximate center of the valley
is the Hawaii Kai Golf Course
The Koolau Range (the "Windward" Range), the water
reserve of Oahu, reaches north from Makapuu Point to
Kahuku at the north tip of Oahu. The highest point is
about 3,100 feet and the range averages 2,600 feet.
The range is of great importance to Oahu since it traps
moisture brought in by the trade winds, causing heavy
rainfall in the mountain areas. The rain water eventually
finds its way into great underground artesian basins.
The Koolau Range has provided pure drinking water for
Oahu for centuries.
