"I think the most effective
fifth column work of the entire
war wat done in Hawaii, with
the possible exception of Nor

Responding to reporters' ques
tions, Knox said:
He believed between ISO to
00 planes took part in the at'
tack too many to com from
singla aircraft carrier.
The attacks apparently were
made only by single-engined
planes and apparently none was
lard-based.
As far as known, none was
flown by Germans, and no new
weapons of any kind mad their
appearance.
Knox declined to say whether
the navy had known of the ex
iatenca of the two-man sub
marines.
.. Dry Clocks escaped damage, he
said, as did all oil storage, and
other important base lacwues.

Because Knox said, the Japanese

(The Utah was launched Dec.

placement.)
Actually, he said, no aircraft
carrier was in Peaf 1 Harbor at
th time. The Arizona, he said,
was destroyed by th explosion

a hit by a bomb which is be

California Goes
On Emergency
Defense Basis
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15
Of) A formal announcement
that enemy planes apparently
had flown over California put
the entire state on an emer
gency basis today, by order of
Gov. Culbert L. Olson.
"Enemy reconnaissance, If not
bombing, planes are known to
havo passed along our coast and
to havo covered a part of the
Interior areas," the governor
said at Sacramento,
His proclamation followed by
a few hours an army communi
que which explained recent
blackouts here with the words
that "there was definite danger
of air attacks by planes In th
Immediate vicinity, x x x x
Flares were seen In the sky,
apparently dropped by enemy

The governor's action, taken
because "this state may at any
time become a theatre of war,"
placed in effect the emergency
orders of the stale council of
defense governing individual ac
tivity throughout California.
