Australia (UPI)-Preio- usly secret documents reveal 30 years after Australia's "Pearl Harbor" at Darwin die Japanese bombing of Australian port northern the nusiaKe aue 10 tauity was Japanese intelligence. The assault took place Feb. 19, 1942. Seven ships were sunk in' two high level and dive bombing attacks on the undefended harbor, nine others were damaged, 243 persons were killed and hundreds more wounded. Scores of the casualties were American. So great was the confusion that even an official investigation weeks after the raid was unable to determine the number of Japanese planes involved, where they came from, or why Darwin was caught without warning. Historians at the Japanese Agency say 242 Darwin under attacked planes command of Michio Fuchida who led the bombing attack on Pearl Harbor 10 weeks pre- Self Defense .The excuse given in evidence was that earlier that morning a number of American had set out for New Guinea and, meeting bad weather, had returned. But the commission report said most of the planes had already landed before the dathurst Island warning was received.

Jesse's grandsons the brothers Lawrence, Forrester and Chester Barr who stand to inherit the property, want to keep it in the family. What's left of the old homestead, which once comprised 240 acres, is now the property of Mrs. Mae James, widow of Frank's only child, Bob. She is in her 90s and was declared a ward of the state some time ago. The Probate Court administers her affairs. In the meantime visitors pay cents 75 to go through the ancient splitlog house.
