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. Only 1939's $454,955
exceeded last year's total, and
that by a mere $826.
So busy were contractors and
carpenters during the past 12
months that 1941s total stated
value of all types of construction
and remodeling work was 113.2
per cent greater than the 1940
total of $212,955.
The construction of 86 new
residences costing $253,200 rep
resented more than 50 per cent
of the entire 1941 total. The next
greatest single item was the re
modeling of business buildings,
27 such permits being valued at
$126,690.
July was the busiest month
of the year, with permits valued
at $90,330 being issued, lnclud-
