Knox Report Disclosed:
Japanese Were Expected
To Make Second ATTACK
Navy Patrol Went
Opposite Direction
On Fatal Morning

Washington, Jan. 4.-(AP)-Con-
gressional Investigators heard today
that HaWaii's defenders fully eX-
pc~ted the Japanese to come back
promptly after the Pearl Harbor at
tack and called desperately for more
fighter planes and anti-aircratt gus
to meet the expected second assault.
This information went into the
record along with the word that
on the fatal Sunday, December
7, 1941, the navy flew a ten plane
patrol in just the opposite direc-
tiCn from which the japanese
task force was advancing.
The sources OF these details was
the hitherto secret report the late
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox made
to President Franklin Roosevelt
soon after his return from a flying
trip to the =, enc Of the disaster.
A Different Report
Senator Ferguson Of Michigan Wht
obta' ed the report from navy flies
said it differed from the one made
public at the time.
Adm. Harold Stark, chief OF naNa'
operations in 1871, told the commit
tee that he had never seer the Knox
report to Mr.. Roosevelt unit! today
He said Knox had filled him in on
some details.
Knox told MIR. Roosevelt that
both the commanders at Pearl
Harbor, Adm. Husband kimmel
and Gen. Walter {. Short were
completely surprised.
Representative Gearhart of Cali
fornia meanwhile singled out today
as a curious development OF the
Pearl Harbor inquiry that Washing
ton, although surprised in itself
condemned, Hawaiian commanders
for being caught by surprise.
To Pursue Point
Hearhart told reporters he intends
to pursue this pOi-t through con-
tinuing examination OF Adm. Stark
ard later witnesses.
Gearhart and the 1871 chief of
naval operations tangled briefly on
the subject in the late hour OF yes
terday's session Of the House-Senatc
investigation committee.

Stark's nickname.)
The witnesses added that Mr.,
Roosevelt, "prior to the attack, was
not expecting an attack on HaWa"
any more than l was" He said they
both expected Japan to strike first
