Members of Congress Join In Support of War Against Japan.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Japanese bombs dropping on Hawaii had the same effect as if they were dropped

on Indiana so far as ending the

isolationism of the Hoosiers in Congress is concerned. “We have been attacked,” they “And that means we are in the war and all-out to win it.” Rep. Gerald W. Landis, who like his fellow Republicans from the

While Indianapolis has been most generous in its treatment of the men in uniform, officials at the service club say that there is one item the boys just can’t seem to get enough of — cookies. If anyone wishes to consider that a hint, and wants to eall LI-2233 to offer some cookies, that'll be all right with the officers.

SEEK SCHOOL DATA ON IMMUNIZATION

Plans were completed today by the State Board of Health for a State-wide survey of children under 11 to determine what percentage have been immunized against diphtheria and smallpox. School authorities already are cooperating with local health officials in issuing special blanks to children in the first four grades requesting parents to indicate whether preventive measures have been taken. Information also is sought on children under six. A survey made several years ago

Afterwards he said he didn't expect to and was satisfied with remaining “downstairs when the big shots went up.” An ardent isola-

There is only one thing to do and that is declare and prosecute unrelenting war upon Japan.” Boehne Offers Services

Asserting that he is ready to vote for a declaration of war upon Japan at once, Rep. John W.

The letter urged strongly the “successful prosecution of this unjust war which has been thrust upon us,” and closed by

Defense Shakeup Doubted

TAKE rumors about a shakeup in defense agencies, and top resignations, with a grain of salt. Reason: Seven Congressional investigations now Quitting under fire isn’t done.

Message Delayed POSTPONED: President Roosevelt's long-delayed message to Congress asking expansion of old-age and survivors’ insurance program and Federal instead of state unemploy-ment-insurance systems. Reason: Too much war. CONSUMERS’ division of OPA is scheduled for the economy guillotine. It will

disappear, unmourned, when new price-control setup is authorized., IN PROSPECT: Power shortages in every important defense area of the country in 1943. Officials are still far apart as to whether new generating machinery shall be given priority, or non-defense lights turned out.

Pearl Harbor Absorbs First Shock of Bombs

By FRANCIS McCARTHY United Press Staff Correspondent

HONOLULU, Dec. 8 (U.P.)War broke with lightning suddenness in the Pacific today when waves of Japanese bombers assailed Hawaii and the United States fleet struck back with a thunder of big naval rifles. Japanese bombers, including fourmotored ‘Flying Fortresses,” dive ombers and torpedo-carrying planes blasted at Pearl Harbor, the great United States Naval Base, the City of Honolulu and several outlying American military bases on the Island of Oahu. There were casualties, of unstated number. Parachutists appeared off Harbor Point, five miles from the center of Honolulu. (It was assumed that they were squadrons of saboteurs.) Then the United States fleet steamed out of Pearl Harbor, The sound of gunfire was heard off Oahu and gun flashes were seen from the shore. It was believed that most of the Japanese bombers operated from aircraft carriers, which might have been intercepted. The cry, “Now let's get the Japanese,” was raised as the fleet steamed out. Japanese sources at Shanghai reported that a Japanese-American naval battle was under way “in the western Pacific.”) The air attacks began at 7:55 a.m. rousing most Honoluluans from their beds. Some were still prowling the city at noon in their pajamas. “Several” persons were killed in the city. Estimates of the number of attacking planes ranged from 50 to 150. It now is possible to reveal that the United States forces here had known for a week that the attack was coming and they were not caught unprepared. It broke with such suddenness, however, that at first the identity of the planes was not definitely known. After the shock of the first bomb impacts had been absorbed, Gov. Joseph B. Poindexter declared

a state of emergency, ordered the public to stay off the streets, and threw out police cordons to guard

all roads and important intersections. The attack on Hawaii, as well as the one on the International Settlement at Shanghai, where Japanese marines took over the main business section and Japanese gunfire sank the British warship Petrel,

was believed designed to knock out

the centers of resistance to Japan in surprise blows. The method followed was similar to the Nazi blitzkrieg tactics which depend largely on surprise and powerful blows at enemy bases and communication lines in the rear, but in this case it was applied to sea warfare over incomparably greater distances. Heavy anti-aircraft fire shook the Pearl Harbor sector as the defense forces struck back at the attacking planes, especially around Ford Island air base in the center of the harbor. Some attack planes were seen falling in flames and smoke rose over some targets. Parachutes were sighted off Har-

bor Point, which is only about five miles from the center of Honolulu. (Parachute suicide squadrons might be landed in the course of such an attack in an effort to sabotage defense works.)

Many Japanese planes were shot down during the attack on Oahu military bases, witnesses reported.

Several persons were believed killed as about 50 Japanese bombers swept over the island posts, dropping explosives.

A group of four-motored bombers bearing the Rising Sun insignia of the Nipponese air force swung over Honolulu proper, and were met by a terrific barrage of anti-air-craft fire.

A bomb fell within 25 feet of the Honolulu Advertiser Building. The attacking planes bombed Pearl Harbor, Ford Island, Wheeler Field, Honolulu Municipal Airport, Hickam Field and the N. E. L, Navy air repair base at Kaneohe. Anti-aircraft guns went into action immediately and soon large clouds of billowing smoke rolled up from the areas under attack. Witnesses said fires were started, apparently by bombs, on Ford Island. A Japanese plane crashed and burned behind the Court House at Wahiawa, a few miles east of Schofield Barracks.
