Italian Patriots Told
To Prepare 10 Strike
Withdrawing Nazis
Ey the Associated Press.

| Ey the Associated Press.
ROME, Mar. 28.-Gen. Mark w
Clark, Allied commander in Italy
declared today that a German re-
treat northward was inevitable
sooner or later" and ordered Pa
triots to stand by to strike at a
moments notice to hamper the
withdrawal
The Germans inevitably will re-
treat sooner or later, leaving Fascist
troops to cover their rear" Gen
Clark said.
He declared it was certain that
Patriots in the Central Apennine
area would ''be called upon to be of
specific assistance to my armies
shortly"
Patriots on escape routes north
from Bologna to the Bremen Pass
and along railroads leading to the
Alpine passes should prepare now
for their job of hampering the with
drawal, Gen. Clark added.
He advised them not to take on
new recruits because of many Ital-
ians who will try to join the Win
ming side with suddenly acquired en-
thusiasm" as the end approaches.
He urged, rather, that the Patriots
raise the quality of their formations.
The entire italian front was quiet
as Gen. Clark broadcast his message.
Only few patrol skirmishes broke
the monotony of a March drizzle.
In the central sector, patrols re-
ported that Germans had cleared
out of several localities where there
had been sharp clashes in recent
weeks.

Senator Chandler
Steals Spotlight
At Press Lunch
By Gretchen Sm,fh

The Capital has long been ac-
customed to entertainment from
the gentlemen on the HILL" but
rarely has a Washington audience
attended function where a United
States Senator stole the laurels from
Hollywood's most glafnorous and
famous stars, such as occurred yes
terday at the luncheon of the
Women's National Press Club.
The affair had originally been
planned to honor the Hollywood
celebrities here for the Presidents
birthday ball but unable to attend
the luncheon because of limited
time, the screen notables stopped by
for a brief personal appearance,
each speaking a few words in behalf
of the polio campaign.
Presiding as master of ceremonies
before capacity audience filling
the small ballroom at the Willard
Hotel, Senator Albert B. (Happy
Chandler of Kentucky proved as
versatile and amusing an enter
tainer as any professional from
either Hollywood or the Great
White Way.
Immediately following dessert,
Miss Edith Gaylord, club president,
accompanied Senator Chandler to
the stage, where during the interim
before the appearance of the Holly
wood visitors he entertained with an
extemporaneous account of his re-
cent visit overseas. The Senator
proved himself gifted raconteur by
anecdotes recalled from his overseas
journey.
Introduced by Miss Gaylord as the
father of promising young screen
star, Miss Mimi Chandler, the Sem
ator presented the first celebrity to
arrive at the ballroom, George
Murphy, who then introduced the
other actors and actresses as they
made their brief appearance on the
stage.
Among those attending were Gene
Kelly, now seaman, second class,
U. S. N; little Margaret O,Brien,
who, dressed in a Scotch costume
with pleated plaid skirt and a plaid
tarleton over one shoulder of her
velvet bodice, received enthusiastic
applause: Danny Kaye, Georgia
Carroll, Jane Wyman, Veronica
Lake, Charles Bickford, Gale Storm
and Victor Borge.
Linda Darnell and Monty Woolley
were among those due to arrive who
were detained by bad weather en-
route. Orson Welles, who was sched-
uled to preside as master of cere-
monies instead of Senator Chandler,
was called back to Hollywood by
death in the family.
Following the appearance of the
screen stars, Senator Chandler en-
tertained with two songs, "Old Ken
lucky Home" and You'll Never

ence about 40 years.
One of the small and informal
fetes for the guests from the Brit

party which Mrs. Aymar Johnson
gave in her home on Massachusetts,
avenue. On this occasion Lady Dob
bic gave a brief talk on her expert
ences on the Island of Malta, which
Gen. Dobbie defended through 1900
bombings.
The visit of Gen. and Lady Dob
