Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1942. page nvs FIFTH COLUMN DECLARED EASY Medford Radio Announcer Lately From Islands Gives First-Hand Impressions. The ease by which Japanese "fifth columnists" could have aided their countrymen in the attack on Pearl Harbor was de scribed today by Bob Barring- ton, local radio station an nouncer who for 13 months was in charge of Station KTOH at Lihue, county seat of the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian group 100 miles northwest of. Honolulu "Although most of the Jap anese in the Hawaiian islands are operators of small businesses, many of them are employed on sugar cane plantations and some work plantations on shares." he explained, recalling that a re cent news dispatch said long arrows had been cut in the cane fields to guide Jap bombers to Fearl Harbor. Japs Trusted "Also," Mr. Barrington point ed out, "most Americans in the Islands are inclined to trust the Japanese, because they are in constant contact with them." He added, however, that Fill- pinoes in the Islands didn't get along with the Japs nearly so well as did the Americans. "Of course I wasn't there at the time, but I imagine the American population of the Is lands was just as amazed as we were on the mainland at the 1941 Medford's Second Best In Building Permit Records Since Big Boom Days of 1929 he took of Nawiliwili harbor, which serves Lihue. Gasoline and oil storage tanks in Lihue were shelled by a Jap subma rine early last Wednesday morn ing, and the photograph shows these tanks and the harbor with its breakwater, beyond which the sub apparently was located during the shelling. Many Are Loyal Kauai, according to Mr. Bar rington, has a population of be tween 37,000 and 38.000 70 per rent of whom are Japanese. "Most of them are American citizens, having been born on American soil," he explained, and added thai he believed "the great majority of them are loyal Americans." Known as the "Garden Island" because of its rich tropical vege tation, Kauai has a tenfficially heavy annual rainfall, he said. Mt. Waialeale, 5 000 feet high, had a precipitation of 602 inches in 1939, and its summit annu ally has between 409 and 800 Inches of rainfall a year, he said. Principal exports of British Malaya are rubber, tin, copra, rice arecanuta and preserved pineapple. Medford's second-best building year since the boom days of 1929 was recorded in 1941, with 264 permits representing $454, 129 being issued by the city in spector.
