There was, no ceremony. Even his signature reports reached his desk of further Japanese air raids on U. S.

Pacific outposts. The White House disclosed new damage to army, naval and air bases an ominous overtone to earlier reports of 3,000 casualties, of them deaths, in the Japanese raids on Hawaii yesterday. The President signed his historic document with firm hand while cameras recorded the event for posterity. UNITED AMERICA His signature formally a united America into the holocaustof World War IL. The measure is known as Joint Senate Resolution 116.

It declares state of war exists between the imperial government of Japan and the government and people of the United States." The senate vote was unanimous, 82 to 0. The house shouted approval, 388 to 1, Lone dissenter on the fateful issue was Rep: Jeannette Rankin Her "no" was voiced calmly but her eyes were red from weeping. She was booed and hissed but she stood firm. In 1917 she had voted against U. S.

entry into World War 1. She said her convictions against war are unchanged. The votes formalized official recognition that a state of war existed with Japan as of yesterday when her planes bombed American naval and military bases in Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines. The President denounced the attack as "unprovoked and dastardly." FRANKLY ADMITS TOLL He said frankly that there had been a heavy toll of life and severe damage to the armed. forces in Hawaii.

Grimly he declared he had directed "that all measures be taken for our defense." "Always we will remember the character of the onslaught against us," he promised. "No matter how long it take us to overcome the premeditated invasion, the American people intheir righteous might will win through to absolute ictory." THUNDER APPLAUSE The legislators and packed galleries thundered applause. "I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again."

GRIMLY READS The President grimly read the momentous message of 500 words in seven minutes. Fifteen minutes later the war resoultions were before both chambers. House Majority Leader John W.

McCormack offered the measure in that chamber at 12:49 m. (EST). "This is the time for action," he said. Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, pleaded for a unan.

Republican and Democratic leaders greased the ways for quick action at conferences with Mr.

Roosevelt. The house met at noon. It recessed four minutes later until 12:30 p. after giving consent to suspend the rules to permit immediate consideration of the resolution. Miss Rankin sought to thwart this strategy.

She arose to object but her protests were swept aside by Speaker Sam Rayburn Again she sought recognition. "Sit down, sister! members yelled.
