P) Jap anese bombers, striking lightning-like aerial blows from off the Pacific, brought death and destruction Sunday morning to this mid-Pacific island fortress and vacation paradise. Scores of men in United States uniform, as well as civilians, died under the savage blows that shattered the Sabbath morning peace and spread the European war to the vast ex panse of the Pacific ocean. At sea the United States fleet apparently had engaged the enemy. Destroyers steamed full speed from Pearl Harbor, and spectators reported seeing shell splashes in the ocean. Uncon firmed reports said the attack ing planes came from two ene my aircraft carriers and prob ably these and other enemy ships were being fought by the American ships. Attack In Waves Wave after wave of enemy planes streamed over Oahu isl and for one hour and IS min utes. Witnesses said they count ed at least 50 planes in the ini tial attack which the army said started at 8:10 a m. Honolulu time (10:40 a. m. Pacific Stand ard Time.) The attack ended at 9:25 a.m. A censorship was clamped down on outgoing reports soon after the first telephoned re ports. What the toll was so far In American lives, ships and pro perty remained undisclosed un der the strict censorship. (The war department in Washington gave a preliminary estimate that 104 were dead and more than 300 wounded In the army forces alone by the bombing). Bursts of anti-aircraft shells filled the sky. Two enemy planes fell in the Honolulu area. Center on Airfield The attack seemed to center at Hickam field, large army air field three miles northwest of Honolulu, and at Pearl harbor, heavily fortified naval base. The planes came in from the southwest, most of them flying high, a few flying low. Five dropped to within a hundred feet of Pearl harbor to launch their attack. An oil tank was set ablaze and unconfirmed re ports said one ship in the har bor was on its side and four others were set afire. While some planes were at tacking Pearl harbor others headed for Hickam field to drop bombs. The attack was not confined to fortified areas. Wahlawa, town of 3,000 population 20 miles northwest of Honolulu, re ported that 10 or more, persons were Injured when enemy bul lets sprayed the streets. Several fires started in the Honolulu area -were immedl ately controlled. Fire Chief Wal lace Blaisdell said the fires "were not as bad as I expected Some streets were pocked with big holes, and citizens were wounded by the bomb frag ments. One of the bombs that started Honolulu fires fell near Gover nor Joseph B. Poindexter's resi dence. He escaped Injury and soon afterward proclaimed M day emergency defense meas ures.

Jones and Santa Crus bridges (above) are vital traffic snans. First To Die Perhaps the first to die was Bob Tyce, owner of a civilian airport near Honolulu. One plane swooped low and machine gunned him as he was attempt ing to spin the propeller of a plane. Spectators on the hills back of Honolulu could see dog fights all over he area as Uni ted States navy and army planes took to the sky after the first surprise. Anti-aircraft guns mingled their noise with the roar of motors and the explos ion of bombs. The citizens of Honolulu were cleared from the streets by mili tary and naval units, assisted by civilian volunteers, all carrying arms. Radio calls, ordered all sail ors, marines and soldiers to re port Immediately to their posts. Farrington high school was converted into a hospital to care for the wounded and injured.
