6At Every Turn’
General Gives His War
Message To Nation’s
Defenders
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20—(UP)
—Maj. Gen. Carl Spuatz, com-
mander of the U. S. army’s air
combat forces, said today that
i the United States intends to win
unquestioned aerial supremacy
on all fronts and then wage “de-
vastating warfare” on the axis
at every turn.
The recently appointed 50-
year-old head of the air fighting
arm made the statement in a
"war message to the air forces.”
The war thus far has proved
conclusively that aerial power
is essential to the success of
i either offensive or defensive ac-
tion, he said.
“The declaration of war by
the congress of the United States
on Dee. 8 was a ringing warn-
ing to the world that the army
air forces in cooperation with
our great air industry would
strive for aerial supremacy in
every theater of operations,” he

‘Swamp Water’
At Texas About
Mystery Region
“Swamp Water,” the unusual
story of the foreboding and
mysterious swampland that
shapes the lives and loves and
hates of the people about it,
comes today to the screen of
the Texas theatre.
Walter Brennan as Tom Keef-
er, Walter Huston as Thursday
Ragan, Anne Baxter as Julie
and Dana Andrews as Ben have
the leading roles.
“Swamp Water” is from the
pen of Vereen Beil, anti is one
of the most unusual serials ever
published. It is the story of the
people who live in the strange
country near the awesome Oke-
fenokee Swamp of Georgia. This
is a refuge for the hunted, but
few of those who go into the
swamp to hide ever get out of
it alive.
AT THE RITZ
The brilliant gun-play neatly
mixed in with the warbling of
several top-notch western bal-
lads, and a novelty comedy
scene involving a phoney poker
game are the highlights of the
Ritz theatre’s attraction. “Cow-
boy Serenade,” opening Friday.
Gene Autrv is the star, with
Smiley Burnette furnishing the
laughs, and Fay McKenzie the
romantic interest.
Gene is pictured as an opera-
tive of the Cattleman’s associa-
tion out to clear up a mess in
which his young friend, Jimmy
Agnew, has involved himself,
jimmy has lost a herd of cat-
tle belonging to the association
in a card game with a ring of
gamblers, and it is up to Gene
either to prove the gamblers
crooked or let Jimmy go to pri-
son.

sufficient air strength to chal-
lenge the superiority of the en-
emy.”
Already operations of the
army air forces over the Philip-
pines, Malaya, Macassar Straits
and Davao have shown the qua-
lity of our own men and planes,
while veterans of the service
“continue to excite the world
by their exploits over Rangoon
and Burma,” he said.
“We have just begun — much
remains to be done,” he lohl
the fliers in hi first formal state-
ment to his command. “Team-
work is the answer to success-
ful aerial warfare. The entire
army air forces must operate
as a team smoothly and effici-
ently—with minds, hearts and
hands.”
Spaatz was recently given
command of combat forces suc-
ceeding Lieut. Gen.e Delos C.
Emmons, who was placed in
