mand had sufficient men and ma
terial ito prevent landing, to sue
cessfully resist an air attack and
to defend the naval base
He made this statement after Mr..
Mitchell had spent most of the day
developing on the record the volu-
minouS correspondence throughout
l941 between Hawaii and Washing
ton and between officials here over
the strengthening Of Pearl Harbor
and other outpoStS.
Asked About Impressions.
Now, general, with all these
documents in the record, showing
your contact with Hawaii, I want
you to cast your mind back to late
November, 1941, and tell us what
your impression was as to the ca
pacity of the forces there to re-
sist an air raid,' Mr.. Mitchell di-
rected.
Gen. Marshall pointed out that
the Army there was still short of
bombers and some types of anti
aircraft weapons, but had been built
up in fighter aircraft. He said 1t
also had the portable radar sets
and ample troops to guard against
landing.
THE military forces on Hawaii
In numbers and equipment were
more nearly up to desired standards
than any other installations in the
Army" the general continued. MY
impression was it was sufficiently
organized to prevent a landing, to
resist successfully an air attack and
to defend the naval base"
Mr.. Mitchell indicated he meant
what its defensive capacity was, as
suming the available facilities were
utilized, and the General reiterat-
ed he thought 1t had sufficient men
and material.

Guam will be the United States
best Pacific bastions.
He said he would leave Pearl Har-
Dor in few days for the mainland
and that he probably would be called
to Washington to testify in the Pearl
Harbor inquiry some time after the
first of the year
Hulks Rusting in Harbor.
Virtually the only reminders today
of the disaster that struck Pearl
Harbor were the rusting, barnacled
sections of unsalvaged ships in the
harbor, and the rows of crosses
cleaning white against the green
hillside rising above the placid
waters of the harbor.
Navy men and islanders went
about their business as usual, with
only simple ceremonies to mark the
historic date. In Honolulu, shirt
sleeved Christmas shoppers con-
tinued to crowd streets gay with
colored lights, tinsel and pictures
of Saint Nick.
But those who died when war first
exploded in the Pacific were not
forgotten. Requiem mass was sched-
uled at $50 am. At Pearl Harbor's
Bloch Arena. Scores of servicemen
and civilians also were expected to
gather in Halawa Naval Cemetery
for Jewish, Catholic and Protestant
services, and to hear a commemora
tive speech by Rear Admiral E. w
Hanson. naval base commandant.
GI Shout to Get Home.
The only strident voices raised
on this fourth anniversary of Pear
Harbor were the voices of peace
the voices of weary, lonely GIs anc
sailors, shouting: Get us home
Get us home!"
Admiral Spruance said yesterday
that the japanese failed to wipe
out the United States first line
of defense in the Pacific in theil
attack on Pearl Harbor because
they did not fully appreciate sea
power as an offensive weapon.
Since seapower was Americas frs
line of defense, the japanese might
have won quick and decisive vic.
tory had that line been smashed
! the admiral said.

Veteran Combat Flyer
Killed in Auto Wreck

BY the Associated Press.
WILLMAR. MINI. Dec. Capt.
Gynther T. Thoreson, 80. Army Air
Corps officer who served from
Hawaii to Europe and gave air sup
port to number of major cam
paigns without injury, was killed
yesterday in an automobile collision
while en- route to Brooten, Mimi, to
see his wife and two children.
Highway Patrolman Joe Smith,

sages if he could not be located, the
general said the deputy chief of
staff would have that authority
The authority would not go on down
the line. he added.
Mr.. Mitchell asked If Gen. Mar
shall had any meeting with the
President on Saturday, December 6
pointing out that the White House
call list showed only Justice Will
liam o. Douglas of the Supreme
Court and Budget Director Smith.
No, sir, have no recollection OF
contact with him that day" Gen
Marshall replied.
Mr.. Mitchell then went back to
the question of whether an air at
tack on Pearl Harbor could have
been prevented. He asked the gen.
eral If it was not a fact that it
would have taken more than double
the number of planes then avail
able at Pearl Harbor to maintain
air reconnaissance in all directions
and far enough out to spot the Jap
carriers before an attack. Mr..
Mitchell also asked If it was a fair
conclusion from these facts that
reconnaissance could have been con-
Quoted only in sectors to be patrolled
Gen. Marshall said that was
roughly the case.
Mr.. Mitchell then asked If the
alternative defense would have been
TO get the fighter planes in Hawaii
up In time to meet the attacking
planes.
Other Factors Mentioned.
Gen. Marshall agreed, but ex-
planned there would be other fac
tors, such as what degree of alert
was in effect. Mr.. Mitchell broke in
to say that all his questions were
based on the assumption of a COM
plete alert. The record shows. how
ever, that the islands were alerted
only against sabotage at the time
Mr.. Mitchell recalled all of the
correspondence early in 194l about
strengthening Hawaii, then asked
the general If he could throw any
light on why after all that stir,
when 1t came to the last critical
days, some at least thought the
danger OF air attack had faded
away"
Gen. Marshall said he did not
think the fear of an air attack had
faded. The point was, he said, that
from the time the new commanders
arrived in Hawaii early in 1s41 until
August, everything possible was
being done to meet what were re-
garded as their urgent needs. By
August, he said, it was felt they had
been reasonably provided for, and
attention was turned to helping
Gen. Macarthur in the Philippines,
Gen. Marshall reminded the COM
mittee that quantity production of
war supplies was just beginning in
August, 1941. He explained that the
plan which contemplated 180 Bit
bombers at Hawaii could not be full
filled before the attack because at
the time we had only 148 Bills al
together.
Gen. Marshall testified late yes

PEARL HARBOR, Dec. THE
day before the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband E.
Kimmel and his war plans officer
discussed the imminence of war with
Japan and planned immediate Of
fensive operations if war came, the
latter disclosed today.

is chief of staff and aide to Admiral
Raymond Spruance, commander in
chief of the Pacific Fleet.
Il did not expect an air attack
on Pearl Harbor," Admiral McMor-

fourth anniversary of the Japanese
raid. But I did expect sabotage,
subarine raids and possibly other
forms of attack in this area.

The Nome nugget., 1945-10-26

You may have grown more timid, and begun to depend on your par ents again, as you. used to do when you were a child.
 Each of you may have found new friends and developed differ ent ideas of your own. Your point of view about yourself and the children and what you want out of life may have changed more than you realize. It will be excit- ing to discover how your ideas and those of your husband fit to- gether. Of course they won't al ways agree, but in comparing them, you may both come to a newer and more intimate under standing.
 The changes in you both may loom large at first, but underneath you are both the same people who have known and loved each other. Gradually the strangeness brought out by your widely different ex- periences will wear off, as you learn to know each other again.
 It is your husband who has done the big job, of course. It is up to you to make most of the compromises in the first few days. That is part of your job.
 Don't rush him. Give him time to settle down.
 If he wants to talk about what he has seen and felt and done, listen with both ears. If he seems reluctant to talk, as many men are, don't press him. If he has been under the terrific strains of actual combat, just the thought of it may be upsetting and painful for a long time. He may want to forget as much as he can and be glad to push his memories out of his mind for a time.
 You may be surprised at the things he will talk about-little

FOURTH OF "A SERIES
Getting Acquainted Again

The months or years of separa- ton probably have made changes in you as well as in your husband. You have had to make many deci- sions for yourself, since you could not talk everything over by mail. You had to work out such prob lems as whether you should go

unimportant episodes - about the men he has been with, the food he ate, the trip home. Only a little at a time will he be able to share with you some part of what he has been through.
 Some of it he will probably never share. If you understand what this means to him, you will respect his feelings, and not think that he is purposely shutting you out.
 He will want to know about you and the children, but not all at once. And the things that have seemed so important to you may not strike him the same way. At first he may not be too interested in Johnny's fight with the boy next door, or the way Susan tears her books and puts crayon marks on the wallpaper. It may take some time before he can get as ex- cited as you about your hard times with the butchers or the trouble you had getting white shirts for Johnny.
 If you stop to think about it, you may realize why things like this don't interest him right now
 The main thing is to be quick to see how he feels about things. Be natural and use your own good judgment and you will find that the gap between you will close over.
 The children aren't the same, either. Perhaps the baby was born after your husband went away. l So there is a whole new person he hasn't known. And what a per son she is: Already she can tell you in no unmistakable terms, ! what she wants when she wants it. !
 Or your Susan may have been only a few months old when he left. She probably spent most of her time then peacefully lying in her crib playing with her fingers. Now she is always under foot and into everything.
 Or perhaps it is Junior who has changed the most. He is so serious now that he goes to school, and so independent in looking after himself. And he is apt to get fresh" and resentful if anyone bosses him around. He isn't the sweet little boy anymore, although he still has that angelic look at times. He feels himself the man of the house" now.
 All these things may make the first few days a little awkward, but they will smooth out more quickly if you understand them and are sympathetic to the chil- dren.

back to your old job; how you could arrange for Jimmy at school and for Susie at the Day Care Center; whether you should move in with your parents after all. Working out these htings alone may have given you new confi- dence.
 Or perhaps it has all been a little too much for you to handle.
