~—and they get along so well with the children.” An American resident, who had studied Japanese methods in Man- | churia and North China, told me! that the Japanese fifth column and] espionage organizations in the] islands were similar to those which had been used to undermine the Chinese. He said these organizations included: 1. A general espionage and sab- | otage network directed by the Jap- | anese Consul General at Honolulu. This organization included the “Ronin,” young gangsters recruited from the families of the poorer farmers. 2. Japanese Army intelligence, | which directed a host of spies, chiefly proprietors of small stores,’ restaurants and cafes. 3. Japanese naval intelligence, which ran a much more extensive organization. Its agents included] fishermen and seamen who knew) the Hawaiian seas and coasts, hotel proprietors and employees, servants in private families and—most/ important of all—fresh produce dealers who supplied fruits and vegetables to the ships in Pear! Harbor and Army posts. Up to the time of the attack, io) fnformant said, ship movements! could be traced through deliveries| of these supplies. They were ordered in the name of a particular warship and dealers could judge the length of a prospective cruise! or a stay in port by the supplies’ taken on board By piecing together the information obtained from different dealers, | Japanese naval intelligence or] posedly could predict when the bulk | of the battle fleet would be in Pear! | Harbor. Arrows Cut in Cane

Representatives of foreign gov- | ernments, who investigated fifth! column activities in Honolulu, and| other residents to whom I talked! were convinced that a number of} Japanese in the islands had been tipped in advance to be prepared for action on December 7 Despite the fact that the dawn patrol, which went up at 5 a. m. reported nothing abnormal, Amerfcan officers told me, it was discovered after the attack that huge! swathes in the shape of arrows had | been cut in the sugar cane fields | pointing toward the objectives! sought by the Japanese airmen.|

This fifth column job would appear dreds of cameras, most of them ex- | One handed to!

to have been accomplished between the time the dawn patrol returned and the attack which began just before 8 a. m.

Battleships Vulnerable

It was, of course, well known that | many officers went to parties in Honolulu on Saturday night nl spent the night in town. It also wa known that warships in wh opened their water-tight doors for cleaning purposes early in the morning, making them more vulnerable to torpedo attack. But the Japanese also knew that! the officers at Wheeler Field had |

‘Go Home and Stay There. Bickel! Told His

Wife, Then He Went After the Japs Again|ueue

NUTLEY, N. J, Dec. 30 (U.P) — Mrs. Margaret Bickell, frightened and . trembling, was watching a swarm of planes battle overhead. Bombs were crashing around her and fires were raging, The scene was Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7. She saw an American plane falter under a blast of machine-gun and cannon fire, drop from the tangle and plunge into the sea. As it gettled 200 yards offshore, a man climbed out and began swimming. Mrs. Bickell recognized him as her husband, Ist Lieut. George R. Bickell, €5, of the Army Air Corps. When he climbed up on the beach, he ordered her to go home at once and stay there. He meant what he said. Then he took off in another plane for a second crack at the Japanese, Pretty Mrs. Bickel, who is 20 and just over five feet tall, arrived yesterday to stay with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Flynn, for the

duration. The Army ordered her to return to the mainland. She said she, her husband, another airman, his wife and their 3-month-old baby were eating breakfast when the raid began. They heard an airplane crash. “We thought an accident had happened during maneuvers, but when we looked out through the front door we saw Japanese planes dropping a hail of bombs,” she said. “We stayed inside the house until the first wave of bombers went by, then we ran to a car owned by one of my husband's fellow officers.” The officers, their wives and the baby started for an auxiliary air field. Japanese planes swooped down and machine-gunned the automobile from its rear bumper to its radiator cap. It finally was so badly punetured that they stopped it and walked on. “Once at the airfield, my husband

didn’t say goodby. In fact, he was so mad that what he said would be unprintable.”

She said two pilots under his command were killed before they could get their planes into the air. Mrs. Bickell found widespread evidence of fifth column activity. She stayed in a friend's home just before leaving for the United States and two “sullen Japanese servants” persistently turned on lights during blackouts and lighted cigarets in the open. “The man of the house finally had to hold the two Japs at gunpoint until morning when he marched them down to the police station,” she said.
