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.

ON WAR TAX
Washington, Dccv 12. (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

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.

Mr Roosevelt said that rela

because It was possible for the
enemy to use them to gain ln
formation.
