KNOX ADDRESSES
NAVY GRADUATES
Academy Class Told U. S.
Must Be Determined to
Win Air Freedom

Annapolis, Md, June 9. - (UP)--
The United States must be de-
termined to win and maintain free
dom OF the air, Secretary Of Navy
Frank Knox told the largest grad
uating class Of the U. s. Naval
Academy today.
"As other generations have won
and saved the freedom Of the seas,
he told the 1855 graduates, "You must
win and save the freedom of the
air as well. The stakes In this war
are double, for now the skies are
highways too, and men can come
and go upon the air.
1.-THE air Is a new symbol OF free
dom or slavery - an instrument OF
either freer movement than we have
ever known or an instrument OF OPP
preston with which a single nation
could enslave the earth"
This was the second class to grad
uate after three, instead Of the Gus
tomary four years at the Academy
Many OF the graduates were sons OF
naval officers or OF enlisted men In
the Navy. One or these was Nor
man Scott, Jr., son of Rear Admiral
Norman Scott, who lost his life
during the naval battle off Guadal-
canal last November 1915.
Knox reminded the young Off
GERS hat after the close Of the last
war United States strapped
more u 100000 tons OF fighting
ships "in the illusory hope that in
disarmament there was security ano
peace" That will not happen again
he said.

THe1teTS
STATE

One of the outstanding treats Of
the current movie season arrived at
Warmers State theater this after
noon when China, spectacular dra-
matization of the Sino-Japanese
battle front, began its engagement.
Co-starring Alan Laid and Loretta
Young and presenting Laid in the
best role of his film career China"
is definitely one picture that should
be seen by everyone.
Made by the experts who gave us
the immortal wake Island" the
new production has that pictures
smashing impact and stark drama.
If you don't hate the little double
crossers of Nippon now with fer
vence, you'll hate hem plenty after
you've seen China.
China" is Ladd's last picture for
the duration. He's in the Army now
and he couldn't have been put into
a better vehicle or given a greater
role. Set near Shanghai in the days
Just before that fateful Demember
7, the film introduces Ladd as an
oil man who has no conjunction
about selling to the Japanese. His
pal is william Bendix of wake
Island" fame and Miss Young Is an
American teacher in a Chinese uni
versity.
While the teacher and a group
of Chinese girl students flee ahead
of the advancing japanese forces,
Laid and Bendix, with the only
available truck, are trying to make
their way to Shanghai to close
deal with purchasing agents for the
Nipponese invaders. The situation
is one that is replete with dramatic
possibilities and the director has
made the most of them. In scenes
showing JAP bombs crashing down
on villages, fleeing civilians and
soldiers in battle, photographs OF
actual places were used and the
buildings faithfully reproduced, then
blown to bits.
Salute For Three" with Betty
Rhodes and Macdonald Carey Is the
second hit of the new program.
The States early bird show Will
be held tomorrow morning at the
usual time. Presented for the con-
yenience of defense workers these
