BY UNITED PRESS
Firs-fearful Japan had a new

had been sounded In various
areas of western and central
Japan Tuesday afternoon,

This meant, presumably, that in

THE SEA WOLF CLOSES RUN AT
 10TH CENTURY
Edward C. Robinson Gives Powerful Portrayal of
 Jack London Drama

Edward G. Robinson heads the cast of Jack London's The Sea Wolf which is being shown for the last times tonight at the 20th Century Theatre. Also starring in the famous sea story are Ida Lupino and John Garfield.
 Tn making this powerful drama, Warner Brothers provided strange ly realistic scenes aboard the ship Ghost, on which most of the &C., tion takes place and the direction is excellent.
 With Robinson as the ruthless captain and a crew shanghaied from the waterfront of San Francisco the ship puts out to sea. A ferry boat is rammed by the Ghost and Ida Lupino, a girl from the Bar bary Coast and John Garfield, a cultured writer are rescued from the ferry and join the strange crew aboard.
 The ruthlessness of Robinson as captain and the rebellion of the crew, led by Garfield make the in- gradients for one of the strangest dramas of the sea ever imagined. Situation after situation that con- tains plenty of hair raising action and a romance woven into the story all contribute to a fast nov ing adventure tale that has no let down until the striking climax.

FIERCE FIGHT CONTINUES ON
 MALTA CONVOY
British Get One Italian Ship in Mediierran-
 can Duel

LONDON, March 24-An Italian battleship has been hit by "at least one torpedo during the last few days, the British Admiralty an- nounced today.
 The communique acknowledged one British merchantmen sunk in the Axis air attack and air-sea fight centering around the Malta bound British convoy during the early part of this week. It denied, how ever, Axis claims to have sunk British warships.
 The Italian command claimed to- day that a British cruiser in an- other naval unit and two merchant ships had been sunk and IS other vessels hit.
 The battle is raging from the Gulf of Sirte. southeast of Malta, to the eastern Mediterranean. The British said the light started Sun day afternoon when British con- voy beat off an Italian cruiser. Later the same afternoon, a squad ron of Italian planes and at least one battleship returned to carry on the battle for sealanes in which Britain, Germany and Italy are maneuvering for strategic positions in the Mediterranean.
