Call for Declaration
OF War Backed by
Freedom Congress
America Must See
Thut Human Race Has
Future, Session Is Told

A resolution declaring war" on
Nazi Germany was adopted by dele
gates at the closing session last
night of the Continental Congress
for Freedom.
Only five of the nearly 400 who
attended the meeting at the Wash
ington Hotel voted no"
Earlier, the two-day session heard
Herbert Agar, editor of the Louis
vile (KyD Courier journal. declare
that Americans must see that the
human race has a future. IF we go
to war it will mean hope for this
future" he said.
Would Inform the 'Deluded"
He urged those present to do
something about the American peo-
pie who are being "deluded and be-
unused from taking their part in
world events because they have been
informed so badly"
Another speaker at the final ses-
sion was John Collier, commissioner
of Indian affairs He described the
war as "a world revolution that will
set the pattern of mankind for
illimitable years.
The outcome of this war, Mr.
Collier stated, depends upon the
United States.
Max Singer, national commander
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
assured the gathering of the ap-
proval of its motives on the part of
his organization.
Bishop Hobson Presides.
Bishop Henry w. Hobson of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, presided over the ses-
sion and led the assemblage in a
pledge of allegiance to the flags of
the Nation and the States.
Members debated for nearly three
hours in the afternoon before adopt
ing q resolution asking for imme-
diate repeal of the Neutrality Act
because it is helping Hitler win
this war"
A number of the delegates made
an unsuccessful attempt to have
clause inserted calling for an i'm
mediate declaration of war.
The resolution, as finally adopted,
stated, in part, that I'VE have never
urged action against Hitler by say
ing such action would keep us out of
war because we honestly feel that
any effective resistance against
NaZi-iSm means war. In urging the
repeal of the Neutrality Act we
know that when our ships loaded
with American goods are taken into
belligerent ports by the American
fleet, Hitler will fight back. We be-
lieve that unless we act soon it will
be forever too late, because Hit
leriSm cannot be beaten by half
way measures and the fight for
freedom cannot be won by the half
hearted"
Faith DecIarat tiOn Voted.
Earlier, members debated for some
time before they adopted almost
unanimously resolution described
as "a basic declaration of faith.
1t stated, among other principles
designed to uphold freedom, that
this is a two-front struggle in
which our example in the practice
of democracy is as vital as our
share in the actual conflict .
We will tolerate no touch of the
Fascist spirit in America"
At the opening of the meeting, a
message was read from Wendell
Willkie in which he said that, in his
opinion, the Neutrality Act should
be repealed completely, but that the
proposed amendments ARE directly
along the right line and is of the
greatest Importance. He added
that "it would be extremely un-
fortunate if action was long de-
layed or if passage came by a mar
row majority"

surprising characterization as the good Dr. Jekyll and evil MT. Hyde. The star studied the character from every angle and worked out his im- presentation of Hyde in an individu- al manner, keeping the makeup and delineation of it as a surprise for the general public.
 The, big surprise of the M-G-M production is the casting against type of the two leading ladies. Con- trary to expectations, Lana Turner is the Sedate Beatrix Emery, and In- grid Bergman the little barroom en- tertainer, Ivy Peterson. Both prove their remarkable versatility in the unusual roles.
 The story races the attempts of the young scientist, Dr. Jekyll, to prove that all men hold within themselves both good and evil. In one, good predominates-i another, evil His experiments, drowned upon by friends and medical colleagues, are to prove the medium by which these forces of good and evil can be controlled. Using himself as his own laboratory he triumphantly sub merges his own personality of Jekyll to that of his evil self, Hyde. But as time goes on, he no longer is able to control his evil self, which

FALL HIT PARADE
 COMING TOSTATE
Olive Bomber, !" Filmed in TechniCOIOr, Opens Up
 Tomorrow

Performances this evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagement of Abbott and Cos tello in Hold That Ghost, featur- ing the Andrews Sisters and Ted Lewis and his entertainers; also She Dead End Kids in Hit the Road.
 The States fall hit parade gets underway at II o'clock tomorrow morning with the presentation of Warner Bros spectacular air drama, Dive Bomber, filmed in techni- color, with two of the screens most dashing heroes, Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray for it's co-stars.
 Made with the cooperation of the United States Navy, Dive Bomber" is said to be the most gloriously ex- citing air drama the screen has yet given us.
 The super-pilots who fly Uncle Sam,s super planes, the dive bomb- CTS, are the heroes of this epic of the Skyways, and theirs is a thrill a-second drama. The tremendously high altitude, the terrific rate of speed at which they descend upon their targets makes bombing the most hazardous type of flying. The main theme of the story is the work being done by the flight sur geonS to lessen the physical hazards to the dive bomber pilots.
 A better selection of stars for the two top roles cannot well be imagined. Hymns performance combines the reckless daring which has made him such a wide favorite with 8 depth and maturity that lends credence to his role of sur- geon. MacMurray, natural as al- ways is completely at home in his pilots garb and the hard bitten cynicism of the seasoned flyer.
 The cast, in addition to Flynn and MacMurray, includes Ralph Bellamy, Regis Toomey, Robert Armstrong, Allen Jenkins, Herbert Anderson, Craig Stevens and a score of other young leading men in minor cadet and pilot roles. Only woman in the cast is the startling ly lovely Alex is Smith who appears briefly but memorably to stir up a little trouble between Flynn and MacMurray.
 And for your further entertain ment the management will present San Antonio Rose, fiesta of fun with Jane Frazee, Robert Paige, Lon Clancy, Jr., Eve Arden, Shemp Howard and the Merry Macs who render the famous Hut Sut Song" in addition to other ace tunes.

soon wins out over the good, As Hyde he brings destruction to tragic Ivy, murders and father of the girl he loves, and leads to his own destruction. Death is his final release from the power of Hyde.
 On the same program is another smash hit "Scattergood Meets Broadway, another in the popular Scattergood Haines series. Guy Kib- bee is again presented in the title role and is capably supported by an outstanding cast of favorites.

 With most of the scenes set on the sunny, snowy slopes of the na- tion's glorious vacationland, Sun Valley Serenade" is gay, romantic musical with new skate and ski sur- prises, and scintillating new hit songs by the Americas number one band.

ODisabled veterans of the
World War benefit In many ways
from Americas custom of wear
ing peoples in honor Of the war
dead on the SatIrd'.y before
Memorial Day, according to
Mrs. Bert Gwinn, rehabilitation
chairman of Harry Ollrich Unit
Of the American Legion Auxil-
larry, who is directing the Auxil
iary's work for the disabled men
ere.
Many hundreds Of veterans in
government hospitals and AUX
!liary workrooms throughout the
country are given employment
making poprieT each year. This
year more than IL, 900, 900 of the
little red flowers have been pro-
duced by the disabled men and
their earnings have amounted to
approximately $40. 900.
A vastly larger number of
disabled veterans benefit from
the peoples through the Legion
and Auxiliary rehabilitation
program. which poppy funds help
finance. The aid which the vet
Grams receive extends from pos
tase stamps with which to write
home to their families from the
hospitals to technical and legal
services in proving their claims
for compensation, and includes
every variety of help possible
for the Legion and Auxiliary to
extend.
Although, the war is now
more than "a years in the past,
the number of disabled veterans
is still increasing" said Mrs.
Gwinn. Injuries and exposure
of war service are adding more
veterans to the ranks of the dis
abled each year, as advancing
age makes it more difficult for
these men to carry on under
their handicaps. Results of
wounds and illnesses which
could be carried in youth, be-
come disabling when the burden
of age is added. Difficulties of
proving the war origin of these
disabilities at this late date bar
a great number of these men
from government compensation.
They look to the Legion and
Auxiliary for aid, and the Legion
and Auxiliary look to the poppy
for necessary funds"

SOME IN FAR EAST
Other units of the French
fleet, believed to include de-
stroyers and lesser craft, are
known to have been stationed in
French Indo-C Chinese ports after
collapse of the mother country
last June. Some or all of those
may still be there, and it is ques-
ionable whether they would join
the axis forces.
Thus the submarines, virtually
all of which are believed based
on French Mediterranean and
Atlantic ports. might furnish the
Germans their most useful addi-
tional striking power both be-
cause of the number available
and because Germany has found
the undersea raiders effective
against British conveys.
ONCE POWERFUL
Before the blitz hit France last
year, the French navy rated
among those of the world pow
ers. It included three battleships
built and others on the way. and
many other vessels, among them
70 or more submarines.
When the collapse came, two
smashing developments greatly
reduced the fleets power. First
the British demobolized a great
portion of the fleet at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, including two bat
tleships, two light cruisers, eight
destroyers, some submarines and
200 small vessels. Second, the
British fleet blasted powerful
units of the French navy tied up
at Oran, French African port on
the Mediterranean.
The main forces of the dimin-
ished French navy now are un-
