Military Give Yes and No Answer
On Whether Repetition of Sneak
Attack on Pearl Harbor Possible
By William J. Waugh
PEARL HARBOR, UP)—Yester
day, Dec. 7, was the 13th anniver
sary of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. Could it happen
again?
This question drew a yes and
no answer as the anniversary was
observed by a simple wreath-lay
ing ceremony on the platform
built on the rising hulk of the
battleship Arizona—tomb for the
1,174 sailors trapped when it over
turned during Japan’s surprise at
tack in 1941.
Concensus of high-ranking Ar
my, Navy and Air Force officers
could be summed up as follows:
No matter how much money is
spent or how elaborate a defense
is devised, military men will not
guarantee success in stopping a
surprise assault.
Chances of success of a carrier
force such as Japan used in 1941
are, as one admiral put it, “abso
lutely zero.” But, military plan
ners say, a single plane or sub
marine using nuclear weapons
might succeed.
Importance of Pearl Harbor and
Ilickam Field—main targets of
the Japanese attack—remains the
same but military men say in war
they would be secondary or third
rate targets.
In other words, the enemy
would not expend the element of
surprise solely on Pearl Harbor.
It more than likely would be used
as a diversion, with the main ef
fort' directed at some juicy indus
trial area on the mainland.
Does Hawaii have the manpow
er to stop an attack?
One high-ranking Air Force of
ficer says:
“We have below minimum re
quirements. But the threat (to
Hawaii) is below standard.”
An admiral:
“Russia has no kno|wn capabil
ity for carrier attack.' A mass or
single plane flight is possible but
would be a suicide mission. The
chances of a surprise invasion

force 'reaching here is absolutely
zero. The greatest danger lies in
a submarine (Russia has a large
sub fleet) carrying some sort of
guided missile.”
Actually, Hawaii’s greatest de
fense is the huge mass of water
between the islands and a poten
tial enemy and the screen of out
posts extending from Alaska down
through the Aleutians, Japan,
Okinawa, Formosa, the Philip
pines and Southeast Asia.
Electronic detection gear, sub1
marines, patrol ships and planes
keep a constant vigilance for any
warlike moves toward the United
States. Although this giant de
fense arc serves well against any
major moves it has gaping holes
for any sneak punch.
The Navy and Marines have
relatively few jet fighters in Ha
waii. The Air Force depends on a
National Guard jet squadron in
an emergency. Pearl Harbor is
home port for some warships, and
transient warships, including car
riers, pass through here frequent
ly. All would be available in an
emergency.
What about air replacements?
The Air Force has developed a
procedure for flying jet fighters
from the mainland to Hawaii. The
flight can be made in about five
hours but an Air Force oficer
frankly admits it would take at
least 72 hours before the first
plane could be on its way.
American Indian Has Life
Expectancy Of 42 Years
DENVER, (/PI-—Disease and un
favorable living conditions are
keeping the Indian’s 42-year life
expectancy at the same level
reached by white Americans in
1900, Indian Bureau welfare of

Robert W. Beasley, the agency’s
welfare chief in Washington, said
the average white American now
lives to 69 years, compared with
the Indian’s average maximum of

western U.S. and Alaska are hold
ing their annual technical con
ference here.
