CLARINE'S LETTER SHOP 0th at Main " 12-24 SHIPS ATTACKED ON WEST COAST (Continued from Pa to One) ly a navy bomber, and attacked the submarine." Captain Farrell expressed be lief he was attacked -by one of the largest types of Japanese submarines but was confident that "if we'd been armed we would have had a very good chance." The slow tanker had no chance to escape from her at tacker, which rapidly overtook her prey. The submarine made about 20 knots as she hunted the Emidio down. As soon as the tanker sighted the submarine, she put on full speed and even dumped ballast to strip the ship, but it did little good. Ti The same business slump which hit Klamath Falls in the first few days after the U. S. declaration oi war against Ja pan and the same quick return to normalcy was telt in the east, according to C. S. Robert son, president of the First Fed eral Savings and Loan here. Robertson has Just returned from a trip which took hun to New York, Washington, south to Flor ida tor the U. S. Savings and Loan convention, and landed him in Cuba the day that Japan launched the attack against the United States. Previous to the declaration of war, Robertson observed busi ness as usual throughout the east, with stores Jam-packed. "On our return from Cuba," Robertson reported, "It seemed that the country had made a 24 hour turnover to a war basis. Bond sales Jumped. Newspapers in the south, on bur route home, were full of blackout instruc tions. Even Atlanta, Georgia, had a blackout." Any disunity that had been observed in the cast, Robertson said, was wiped out overnight, with isolationist factions as de termined to fight as the rest. Robertson made the trip to Cuba on the S. S. Florida, just out of drydock and equipped with anti-mine cables. Word of the outbreak of war was received there around dinner time. There was no hysteria, no confusion, Robertson said. Cubans gathered 5000 strong intho street, shout ing, "We want to fight, we want to fight." Cuba declared war against Japan on Tuesday, one day following the U. S.'s declara tion. "On our return trip, business as usual was the order of the day, and outside of the posting of guards around key points in Los Angeles, no confusion was evident," Robertson concluded.
