Sunday December 7, 1941


Special Message Sent To Emperor Hirohito By U. S.
Last Resort Move To Avert Break With Japan as More Troops Are Massed

(E T's note: We all remember what we were doing on this date even though many weekend news papers did not report the surprise attack by the Japanese, on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. Early morning radio reports and word-of mouth rapidly spread the word. News headlines did not report this event on the day that it occured due to date and time and date diferences; more on reporting later.)
