IVY DIDN'T FEAR JAPANESE ATTACK ON A BIG SCALE Stark Now Says He Wasn’t Expecting Hawaii Blow; Surprise Revealed Washinirton, Jan. 2.— (AIM — Admiral Harold It. Stark s; 11 is <i today that in Decem H-r IP!!, the Navy did not ex pect either an attack on Pearl Harbor or any such broad scale offensives as the Japanese launched.

Stark took the stand for <iucs tioni.’g hy William 1). Mitchell, committee counsel, as the in quiry group resumed sessions after a Christmas-New Year holiday. Mitchell said it seemed apparent that in 1941 the commanders at Hawaii were ot the opinion that there was no possibility ot an air at tack on Pearl Harbor.

"1 was sur prised a! the attack. I knew it was a possibility but ns for actually ex pecting ail attack at that lime, I did not.” Stark said the only tangible evi du ce the Navy Department had was that the Japanese would launch their iirst attack somewhere in southeast Asia. However, evidence previously given the investigating commit tee grve credit to Admiral Stark for having foreseen the possi bility of a surprise attack on l’carl Harbor nearly a year be fore the bombs hit. The while-thatched naval <-11 i or. who toi k over command ol Ameri can naval forces in the Luropeat theatre when Krnest J.
