Savage Blows Dealt Military
and Civilian Populace
Alike Attack In Waves.
Honolulu, Dec. 8. 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.

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.
