FACE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1941. HEIGHTS OF VALOR IS H AWAMS TORY Relaxing of Censorship Per .s mits Partial Picture Of Jap Attacks On Islands. Br Eug.ne Barns ' Honolulu, Dec. 12 Dahu Island's defenders rose to mag njficent heights of valor in the face of six vicious raids on this Pacific outpoast by Japanese warplanes last Sunday The sudden stab has left them fighting mad. ' Fifty to 100 enemy planes participated in the savage thrust at Pearl Harbor naval base, the Hickman Field army base and the Kaneohe naval air base. The first wave came over at 7:55 a. m. local time, followed by other waves at 11:29 a. m., 11:59 a. m.. 7:13 p. m. and 6:15 p, m. i A slight relaxation of censor ship yesterday permitted addi tional details of the raids which killed 49 civilians and injured more than 100. 3.000 Toll Reported In Washington the White House announced army, navy and civilian consulates probably would total 3,000, about equally divided In killed and wounded - Martial law was proclaimed after the raids and the civilian population, calm and deter mined, U cooperating splendid ly with the military authorities. Marvin V'tousek, 17, and his father perhaps were the first to see the enemy attack. "Suddenly we were In the thick of a black-painted mass of planes,'' Martin said 'They rocketed from the sky every where and I saw on the wing tips the rising sun of Japan. When the first bomb hit, my heart almost went out of me, Then all hell broke loose" He said he saw three enemy planes shot down. Honoluluans, accustomed to army and navy manuvers, thought it was just another de fense practice when they were awakened by the explosions. Pearl Harbor was almost blacked out by heavy smoke and high over-head bombers roared amid intense anti-aircraft fire. While I was approaching the office a bomb exploded less than 100 feet away from a hardware store and nearby another bomb killed a man. One direct on an automobile killed its four oc cupants instantly. Police handled the civilian situation beautifully in the emergency. No New Balds Army authorities .said .today that there have been no new Japanese air raids against the Hawaiian Islands since Sunday night The control of the fighting forces and of contractors and civilian employes at army and navy facilities subjected to the Japanese attacks drew high praise today from Admiral Hus band E. Kimmel, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet and Rear Admiral Claude C. Bloch, commandent of the 14th naval district. FLUHRER'S ; Saturday Special Stollen Coffee Cake ...

(i?V Congressional leaders agreed to day to go to work immediately to draft legislation for "several billion dollars," of new war taxes. The announcement was made by Chairman R. L. Doughton of the house ways and mean com mittee and Chairman Walter F. George of the senate finance committee following a luncheon conference with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgen- thau, Jr. Neither of the congressmen would predict when final pass age could be expected. "We are going ahead as expe ditiously as humanly possible to do a good Job," Doughton said. "But this is a big subject and we feel we will save time by making thorough preparations. We can't operate recklessly or blindly." Additional residents here were today in receipt of word of the safety of relatives in the Pacific war zone. Glenn L, Jackson, president of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, had word that his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Burns, were safe in Honolulu where they have resided for six or seven years. Mr. Burns is employed by the Associated Press. Justice of the Peace William R.
