The spokesman continued: "Who of us hasn't held his breath as news came that the cannons have begun to speak in the Pacific? "Who wouldn't shudder at the knowledge that the entire earth is now dominated by one thought wan that mothers and children carry in their hearts only one conception war; that tears and blood have become the coat of arms of the world. The spokesman then tried to trace the recent history of Jap anese - American relations, put ting the entire blame for their worsening on the United States government. "The opposing fronts are now clear," he said. "Decisions have started. Whole peoples are en tering the arena. We know the good will triumph. With venera tion we listened to the words of the Japanese prime minister." All attempts by foreign cor respondents to elicit an indica tion of Germany's next official step failed. Editorials on News (Continued from Page One) Japan needs especially oil and rubber. There may be submarine and surface raiders along the Pacific Coast, but no tuck on the U. S mainland is probable. What Japan needs and must have if she is to carry on a long war is nearer home and easier to get. THIS is what we must remem x ber: Business as usual is out. Pleasure as usual is out. Social progress as usual is out. We have a long, hard, bloody job ahead of us. It will require all our energy, all our deter mination and all our loyalty. COMETHING else: When tempted to complain and criticise, WORK HARD IN STEAD. With censorship what it Is, you can't know all the facts. There will be plenty of time for criticism later. Work and loyalty are called for now. If you ever played football, you will know that all cussing the quarterback gets you is a victory for the OTHER TEAM.

Didn't See Truck According to the tory told by McDaniels, he left Merrill about 1 o'clock in the morning, driving toward Klamath Falls. He did not see the truck on the highway. The girl was sitting at the side of the driver when the crash occurred. The rlghr side of the car was shirred and the motor driven against the seat pinning the girl's body be tween the two. Miss Burdette died en route to Klamath Valley hospital where she was rushed by two passing motorists, Donald Dyer and Ben Jaques who were on their way to Merrifl. It is understood that a car operated by Mrs. Lucille Clark, Merrill, had plunged into the ditch near the Chinn ranch on the highway. A man named Cain, driving for Haskins broth ers, stopped his truck at the scene of the accident and was in the line of traffic when Mc Daniels' car crashed Into the rear of his machine. McDaniels was able to get out of the car but was also 'brought into Klamath Falls for treatment. He was later dis missed. The girl's body was removed to Ward's Klamath Funeral home where attendants said late Monday they had not received word from Miss Burdotte's rela tives, thought to be in Washington.

The White House said that the surprise dawn attuck of the Japanese yesterday resulted in capsnlng of an old battleship, the destruction of a destroyer, damage to other vessels and de struction of a relatively large number of planes. It added that several Japan ese planes and submarines had been accounted for. Chairman Connally (D-Texai) prepared the war resolution, saying he acted on hi own In itiative without knowing what the president would say. An official White House statement, the (irst authentic government appraisal of the at tack yesterday, said that cas ualties were expected to mount to about 3000, nearly half of them fatalities. It was disclosed that active resistance was "still contlnu-l ing" against the Japanese at tacking force In the vicinity of Hawaii. Reinforcements of planes are being rushed to the islands the White House said, and repair work Is underway on ships, planes and ground fa cilities. The White House said that Wake and Midway islands. In addition to the island of Guam and Hongkong. China, had been attacked but that details were lacking. Asked whrthrr there was any official information why Japan was able to get Inside the outer defenses of the Hawaiian group, Presidential Secretary Stephen Early said It was the consensus of experts that prob ably all the attacking planes came from carriers which had moved forward during th night and sent their planes aloft. The attack came at dawn yesterday. Thcre was no identification of the battleship which cap sized beyond the statement that she was an old one. The ship turned over In Pearl Harbor, the navy's giant Hawaiian base. The statement said that sev eral other ships "have been seriously damaged." that one destroyer was "blown up," and several other small ships were "seriously hit." Several hangars were de-. stroyed in the bombing of army and navy air fields the White House said, and "a large number of planes were put out of commission." However, a number of bomb ers were said to have arrived in the Islands safely from San Francisco while the engage ment was underway.
