Missionary's Warning Might Have Averted Pearl Harbor If a missionary's warning had heeded when ho arrived in Honolulu direct from Formosa in November. 1940, the disaster of Pearl Harbor probably could have been prevented, according to a new book, "Angel At Her Shoulder," by Kenneth L. Wilson, just published by Harper and Row. The Army's entire supply of gasoline for planes and ships was at that time vulnerable to an approaching enemy, for it was stored openly on the beach in tanks painted white, visible 20 miles at sea, points out Wilson, who is ex- cutlve editor of "The Christian Herald," interdenominational weekly. The missionary.

Dr. James T. Dickson. founder and president of the Taiwan Theological College, was dismayed at the sight of the tanks, since he and his wife, Lillian Dickson, had lived under Japanese rule for 13 years on Formosa, with strict surveillance for the last four years. During these four years, Japanese spies had followed them everywhere, some even introducing themselves with the words, "1 am a spy." in order to ask questions.

Newspapers had been heavily censored by Japanese authorities and civilians were punished for listening to any but Japanese stations. When the Slate Department requested all Americans to leave Formosa, the Dicksons had found it difficult to secure passage on a ship, since the Japanese were convinced they were carrying away DOM'T TAKE CHANCCS WITH HEALTH -MAVC CLARK'S 1 Sale IS NOW GOING ON important military Formosa was then an important Japanese secret base. In the few minutes before sailing from Japan, where they had transferred from the first boat to a liner, detectives hauled their luggage 6ft for last minute search and Dr. Dickson along with It The secret police were suspicious of a collection of poems saved by his wife, and the boat almost left without him while detectives forced him to translate poems. Finally they were convinced this was really poetry, and at the last minute he was released to board the ship by rope ladder after the gangplank had been raised.

"Even on the ship, the DIcksong discovered that secret police bad installed a microphone in the ceiling of their cabin, and the detectives shadowed them constantly. Dr. Dickson's wife and children would never leave him alone, for fear that he would be pushed overboard, it is reported in "Angel At Her Shoulder." The Dicksons stopped to visit his brother, an officer In the United States Army, at Pearl Harbor. When Dr. Dickson expressed concern over the exposed storage tanks on the beach, his brother asked, "What of it? What are you so worked up about?" "You don't understand what's gong on in this part of the world," Dr.

Dickson explained. "The Javanese don't have their storage anks out in the open. They have growing over them; guards OB duty day and night."

Dr. Dickson explained to them that he had lived with the Japanese, that they had always war with America was inevitable, that they were on their toes ready to go tnd they were ex pecting to fight America and to win.

The officers arranged for him to tell his story to top brass The incident is described in "Anee At Her "At their meeting the next day Jim began, 'One of your officers told me the Japanese couldn't de stroy those fuel tanks and get hack to their base.

Lillian, known as Lil, accompanied him, and soon plunged in on her own initiative and practically revolutionized the island.

She rounded up money and labor to build hospitals, orphanages, schools, additional lep- rosarium facilities, churches, and mountain clinics, Ignoring dlsap- proval of those who thought a missionary's wife should not start such Lil Dickson's charitable enterprises kept increasing to meet the needs on every hand, and finally contributors requested her to incorporate so that their donations would be tax deductible.
