A moment of silence was to be observed across the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, to be signalled by a shipyard work whistle at 7:55 a.m., the exact minute the attack began on Dec.

7, 1941. After that, four F-4C Phantom jets from the Hawaii Air National Guard were to fly over Pearl Harbor in a "missing man" formation, in which one of the flight positions remains vacant. The attack by 190 Japanese attack planes had been prepared months in advance. The two-hour, four minute bombardment killed 2,113 men, 1,177 of which were aboard the USS Arizona. An additional 987 men were wounded.

Eighteen U.S. Navy warships were damaged or sunk. A plaque was to be unveiled honoring the bravery of the men who were aboard the USS Nevada that day. The Nevada had been moored just behind the Arizona, and was the only battleship to get under way during the attack. Despite several fires, heavy casualties and a 30- by 45-foot hole in her bow from a torpedo hit, the Nevada managed to limp toward the entrance to the harbor in a bid to escape the attack.

Navy brass, fearful the ship might sink in mid-channel and block the harbor, ordered it intentionally beached near Waipio Point, now also known as Nevada Point. Fifty-seven men died aboard the ship. The memorial marker will list the ship's two Medal of wood Job Service Area Director George W. Bonnette; and South Carolina Employment Security Commission Executive director Robert E. (Jack) David.

The two-part series "Kenny Rogers as the Gamb- ler: The Adventure Continues" took first and second place in the Nielsen ratings for the week ended Dec. 4. The second part was the week's most-watched show. In all, CBS had seven of the Top 10, which was expanded to 11 because of a tie. ABC and NBC each had two.

CBS won the week with a network average of 21 .0 in the A C. Nielsen Co. survey ABC was second with 16.5 and NBC was third with 14.5.

"After the treatment, her condition improved, but improvement was not sustained," Hoag said. He added that Hsing-Hsing's blood cell count is normal and that the male panda "is in good health." WASHINGTON (AP) -Ling-Ling, the National Zoo's female giant panda whose rocky love life has captivated America, is "seriously ill" With kidney failure and her chances of recovery are poor. Robert Hoag, special assistant to the zoo director, said Tuesday night Ling-Ling is suffering from kidney dysfunction and severe secondary anemia. "Her kidneys are impaired and ultimately may fail," Hoag said.

"We have a seriously ill panda. Her prognosis for recovery is poor." Hoag said blood tests taken Tuesday afternoon showed the 12-year-old panda "to be extremely anemic and there is evidence of kidney failure." He said that as of Tuesday night, veterinarians had ruled out a kidney transplant or dialysis. Hoag said Ling-Ling was anesthetized Tuesday afternoon and given a transfusion of blood from Hsing-Hsing, the zoo's male panda, "to boost her critically low red blood cell count." He added that she was being treated with antibiotics as well. "Ling-Ling's medical condition is much more serious than her general condition indicates," Hoag said. "We hope it can be treated.

However, her prognosis for recovery is poor Her condition is not something that can last forever." Hoag said Ling-Ling's problem was first discovered on Nov. 25.
