HAWAII READY ‘FOR ANYTHING’

Civilians Toil Day and Night To Make Island SelfFed Fortress.

By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent HONOLULU, Dee. 19 (U, P).— The civilians of Hawaii are toiling day and night to make it a selffed fortress, secure against anything, Soldiers and sailors—the islands’ defenders—make no secret of their feelings, They yearn to avenge their “murdered” comrades. Hawaii was cheered by the revelation of Secretary of Navy Frank Knox that the Japanese had sunk only one American battleship, three destroyers and one mine layer, and that they had lost three submarines and 41 airplanes. yMaj. Brian Wells, retired, secretary of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association, announced that a home food production program would immediately be put into effect. Plans for it were started 18 months ago. Crack Down on Rents

Col. T. H Wyman, a district engineer, was appointed administrator of crop production, and he named four co-ordinators to supervise labor, equipment and crops. The new rent commission was ordered to crack down, and if a landlord exacts more rent than it considers fair, to bring him to court on a misdemeanor charge. The relative quiet meant little to civilians. They were making bomb shelters at home and blacking out their windows. Guards wore full war kits, Gas Theft First Crime

THe effects of wartime restrictions have begun to make themselves felt. Candy sales leaped, probably because of the ban on liquor. Police reported the first crime attributable to the gasoline rationing law. A thief siphoned 12 gallons of gasoline from an automobile in a garage. An automobile is allowed only 10 gallons a month. \ More stories of heroism and humor during the Japanese attack on Dec. 7 cropped up. It was learned that 150 taxi drivers mobilized to rush 5000 men to duty. The men had week-end leave in Honolulu, Many Army and Navy wives braved the raid to drive| their husbands in automobiles to! their posts. But He Gets There

One young ensign took a taxi. It was jammed in traffic, and he leaped out and into another which was moving. He repeated the process four times before Re reached the Navy yard, and when he got there no boats were running to his ship. He ran two miles across an island, stripped off his clothes and swam to his ship with a hail of bombs and machine gun bullets kicking up the water around him. He reached his ship just as it got under way.
