 The wide publicity which dis patches from Sorrento saying that the marriage would take place at 1.-The House of Tasso" received. has made the former champion feel that it would be quicker and quieter to be married in a small parish church in a big city such as Rome or Naples instead of the romantic spot on the famous bay of Naples.
 Gene spent the morning with Thomas l.. Daniels. secretary of the American embassy here. trying to straighten out the red tape required for wedding on such short notice and to obtain the necessary church dispensations for his union with a Protestant. He said that some of his experiences reminded him Of his days In the Marine corps.
 While resting at his hotel. Tunncy told the Associated Press that since this was his first visit to Italy he felt 1t his duty to devote as much time as possible to sightseeing. He regretted that he had to do Rome" in such a hurry.
 But for the sightseeing here he will have an exceedingly well-e1uip- ped guide. His friend Thornton Wilder, who will pilot him about the city, was for a year 'fcllow" of the American Academy in Rome be- fore he gained fame as novelist. Tunney said that he wished to ab- sorb all he could. however little. of what Rome has to teach as ne con- sidered the opportunity an educa- tional privilege.
