r They buried Frank Knox, -late
secretary of the .navy, to Arling
. ton cemetery, and ha certainly
waa eligible for interment there.
A soldier to the Spanish war (one
. of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Rid
: era), he served as an officer In
. World War L In World War II he
held the responsible position of
-. head of the navy department,
: guiding the development of the
navy Into the ; greatest fighting
; force on the seas. So he earned
' a resting-place to a military bur
ial-ground. '., I'V
' Knox was a ready spokesman
. for the administration on matters
. dealing with the war. Sometimes
he was not altogether fortunate
to his prophecies. Tor instance,
to the fall of 1941 he freely stated
. that our navy ' was. ready to meet
Japan, intimating that the dean
up would not be a very difficult
task.. To him Pearl Harbor must
- have been a bitter blow.
The secretary: had hard going
to the winter and spring of 1942
when the U-boats were popping
torpedoes at tankers and . mer
chantmen ' to 1 sight of our coast.
. But Knox did not fold under
"criticism or crack up with worry
He moved to reorganize 'the At-
; f the satisfaction of seeing the sub-
'marine war pushed far back into
the Atlantic and finally' virtually
' defeated.
- '. While a great deal of space has
been given to the work of Knox
'.as newspaper man and as soldier
and cabinet j officer, perhaps his
-' best contribution was the develop-
xneht of the foreign correspond
- ence of. the Chicago Daily News.

Plans.for. an international educa
-tion agency, designed to help re
build war-wrecked education sys
terns and promote a free exchange
of ideas among . nations, will be
laid before congress,, the state de
partment announced today.
The department issued report
on the accomplishments . of the
American delegation to the con
ference of Allied Ministers of Ed
ucation in London and Rep. ' Ful
bright (D-Ark), delegation chair
man, said the country had a new
cportunity to promote the cause
of y peace .through international
security.. M.V. ' .;. 1 ,:' T v
In this connection Fulbright
brought out that the proposed con
stitution for the international ed
ucation agency will deal with the
question of international" press
freedom the ideal of a .Tree ex-
' change of ideas among all peoples.
"The discussions of the delega
tions with representatives of other
nations," Fulbright reported, 'were
based on the proposition that free
and unrestricted interchange be
tween the peoples of the world of
Ideas and ' knowledge in unre
stricted education are essential to
the preservation of security and
peace..' " '; " ,
This is translated in the pre
' amble of the constitution to a'
statement that "to deprive any
part of the inter-dependent mod
em world of the cultural resources,
human or material, through which
its children -are trained; and its
people informed, is to destroy to
that extent the common knowledge
and mutual understanding upon
which the peace of the world and
Ks security must rest," i
At a press conference to, which
the state department announce
ment was made, Fulbright said the
senate and house committees on
foreign affairs would have full
opportunity to investigate the pro
posed agency to be known as the
United Nations -Office of Edu
cational and Cultural Reconstruc

LONDON, Thursday May 4
Phi The twentieth. day of an
uninterrupted allied air offen
sive whose thunderous strokes
by f official estimate already
have finished off the ability of
nazi j railroads in northern
France and Belgium to carry
the full load demanded of them
by allied invasion broke over
Europe early today.
Two huge formations of Bri
tain's heavy bombers were heard
roaring across the east and south
coasts of. England last evening,
headed for the continent. The big
RAF craft had had a one-night
layoff. ' .

Far greater squadrons of Amer
lean, British and allied air forces
took a breather after 18 days of
endless assault that won this ac
colade from a spokesman of the
ministry of. economic warfare:.
Their brilliant actions against
doaens of enemy railroad cen
ters, he said, had created, chaos
in the German - held rail sys
tem which piling up on the
long, previous campaigns of
: bombing and sabotage has
j left that system In a state of
partial paralysis fas the areas
most : imminently threatened.
The system could not hope to do
Its foil argent Job necessary to
repel invasion.
The enemy, he said, in a zone
100 miles deep from Cologne to
the Bay of Biscay was so short of
railway marshaling facilities that
his ability to move reserves inside
that area was gravely impaired,
if not destroyed.
Today's new blows fell al
most with the regularity of a tol

many itself. - 1
