By United Press
TOXIC, April 26.-Foreign Min
lister Koki Hirota personally as
sumed responsibility for a state
ment asserting Japan's right to in
terfere in China in the interests of
Asiatic peace, and interpreted as a
warning to other powers to keep
hands off China, the United Press
learned today.
The statement for which the
Japanese foreign minister claimed
authorship, according to the United
Press informant, was issued here
April 20, three days after a less
conciliatory unofficial pronounce
ment carrying a more direct warn
ing against occidental activity in
China.
In conversations with Chang
Tzo-Ping, the Chinese minister,
Hirota is said to have explained that
he had dictated the April 20 state
ment, but neither had seen nor ap-
proved the earlier announcement
read by Eli Amua, spokesman for
the japanese foreign office.
It was Amua's statement which
rang through the world as proclaim
ing Japan'S overlordship over Asia
and her objection to foreign loans
and foreign advice to the Chinese
republic for political or military
purposes.
Hirota was represented as ready
and willing to discuss with foreign
diplomats the April 20 statement,
but as preferring not to talk about
the earlier announcement, for
which he disclaimed all responsible
ity.

 Hollywood.-'I don't want to be star" declares Walter Connolly, one of the fastest climbing actors in pictures, and he means it, hon. estly.
 Yet, this isn't a new idea of Connolly's, either. During IT of the 22 years he was a Broadway favorite, he fought the same thing. Then he came into pie lures. At first he attracted little attention, despite his consistent ly good performances. Suddenly he found himself in Tt Happened One Night" playing the role of Claudette Colbert's father.
 That was the turn in the road for Walter. Everyone started talking about him. AS result, he was handed the starring role in Whom the Gods Destroy" He accepted the role, but refused to be starred.
 After all," he says, "stardom is only a matter of placing a name-above or below the title of the picture. But it carries tre- mendous responsibility and woe be to the star if every picture he makes isn't better than the pre- ceding one. That's too much re- sponsibility for me.
 Naturally, I'll take all the starring roles I can get-but not stardom."
 Card Sharp Howard
 You'd never guess it by looking at him, that Leslie Howard is adept at card tricks. He is, though. In fact, he once earned his living that way for a few days It happened during his early stage days when his company became stranded in Newcastle, England.
 Wandering aimlessly about the city wondering what to do, he saw a street vendor selling little bottles of spot remover. Business wasn't very good. Howard bought a deck of cards and told the ven- dor he would attract a crowd for half the profits from the spot re- mover.
 The stunt worked, and for four days Howard averaged a pound day - enough to pay his rare back to London.

OCEAN THRILLER AT STATE TODAY
"Here Comes the Navy" Ushers in Greater
 Movie Season

The first giant salvo in the big bombardment of hits due for early presentation at Warmers State theater during the new greater movie season opens today. It is Warner Brothers melodramatic thriller of the U. S. navy and is titled Here Comes the Navy"
 The picture is said to carry some of the most breath- taking thrills ever witnessed in addition to sup plying plenty of hilaious comedy and a glowing romance. The ac- tion takes place aboard the U.S.S. Arizona; at the dirigible field at Sunnyvale, Calif., with the U.S.S. Macon; at the neval training sta tion at San Diego, Calif., and at the navy yards at Bremerton, Wash.
 One of the stirring scenes which comes in as part of the back ground of the picture is the weigh ing of anchor of the entire Pacific fleet to start on presidential com mand. This is the first time such scene of an entire fleet in action has ever been shown in a picture.
 There is thrill after thrill in the picture, two of the most breath taking being the rescue of a gun crew from flaming turret and the saving of a man who has been carried aloft clinging to round wire of a dirigible by a sailor slid ing down the rope with a para chute strapped to his back and dropping with the man to the ground.
 Cagney and O'Brien have the stellar roles of two virile jack-tars who hate each other with intense fury. the more so because the for mer loves the latter's sister. Their fued is accompanied by rapid fire action to a smashing climax.
 Gloria Stuart furnishes the TO- mantle part while hilarious com edy is enacted by the two prin- ciples and by Frank McHugh, Dor othy Tree and Maude Eburne. Others in the cast include Robert Barrat, Willard Robertson Quinn Williams, Howard Hickman and George Irving.
