What might very well be one of
the most nostalgia journeys ever
made by a newsreel camera will turn
up in News Of the Days reel at the
Palace and Columbia theater's to-
morrow. The Forgotten Islands" is
the title of the special subject which
refers to those reefs and land rises
in the Pacific which millions of
Americans hoped on their way to
victory over Japan.
Actually, the release covers a
20,000-mile air journey in a Naval
Air Transport plane over the great,
sprawling battle area OF the Pacific.
It shows the dramatic contrast be-
tween ithe peaceful atmosphere of
the area today as compared with
the memorable battle scenes which
Guam, Saipan, Okinawa, Tarawa
and Two Jina were when they were
the terrible words in the newspaper
headlines.

Wolfe's famous first book.
Until Metro-Goldwyn discloses
which Is true, an alteration in Wolfe
or q change in Miss Hepburn, there
Is nothing for Look Homeward
Angel" fanciers to do but assume
that it is the book that has been
revised.
Certainly Miss Hepburn would not
be playing Gene Gant's (Wolfe's)
mother role, or that of Sister Helen
in the story. These were the only
two feminine characters that were
developed sufficiently in the story to
Justify the interest of an actress
of Miss Hepburn's stature. Thus far
In her acting career there Is nothing
to intimate that she is the motherly
or sisterly type, especially OF such
q rampaging literary giant as Gene
Cant was on his way to being IN
Look Homeward Angel"
Since her role, the one for which
she is reading the script, can be
neither of these, it must be that OF
the girl over whom tempestuous
Gene Cant broke his violent young
heart. And whose heart he quite
possibly shattered in the process
Of manning his own.
Wolfe, however, certainly was not
thinking of the movies when he
wrote this haunting aside on youth
full fomance in one brief chapter OF
his sensational first novel. 1t was
one of the few revelations OF Woltes
threshing in the emotional jungle
of his life that he wrote small. 1t
Is part of everyone's vivid memory
of the interlude that he did write
it this way.
That Is what leaves it spectac-
ularly short of the dimensions a part
must have to fit Miss Hepburn.
The presumption, therefore, will
have to be that the wispy girl in
Look Forward Angel" has come up
In the world, and certainly the
authors life, since Thomas Wolfe
wrote her. 1t has happened before
to the works Of other writers. And,
to be honest about 1t, 1t has not
always happehed badly.
But, the fact remains, that the
script writer who ventures to revise
Wolfe for what is regarded in Holly
wood as dramatic accent, will have
a lot of passionate Wolfeites waiting
the results OF his brave gesture.
He may very well need the assist
ance of Miss Hepburn who is un-
ouestionably one of the most artful
and worthy scrappers in the movies.
In the meantime, there are a old
of Wolfe fans who would like moth
Ing better than to join Miss Hepburn
In reading the script OF LOOK
Homeward Angel"

u. 5. as Troops Leave

Italian Premier de Gasperi told
President Truman yesterday that
the ideals for which American
troops in Italy "shed so much noble
blood remain the supreme law Of
the Italian Republic"
The White House made public
this message and response from
Mr.. Truman which were occasioned
by the withdrawal of the last
American troops from Italy last
Sunday.
Taking note of the occasion, Mr..
de Gasperi told Mr.. Truman: "At
the moment when all Allied troops
have left our soil I wish to assure
you that the Italians will forever
retain the memory of their liberat-
ing action and the brotherhood of
arms which united them afterwards
with our regular and voluntary
forces. Your troops fought in Italy
for the cause of liberty and
democracy. I shall be grateful to
you if you will inform them that the
common ideals for which they shed
so much noble blood remain the
supreme law of the Italian Repub-
lie.
President Truman's reply follows:
Il am grateful for your message on
the occasion of the departure from
Italy of Allied troops. 1 know that
the Italian government and people
are dedicated to the preservation
and protection of the freedoms
which they have regained, and 1
am confident that I speak for the
American people when I say that
We are heartened by the knowledge
that Italy stands with other free
DOM loving nations of the world in
the defense of liberty and democ-
racv everywhere

China Orders Feng,
Critic Of Chang, 10
Return From i. ).
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, Dec. 20.-The gov
ernment announced tonight that
the Christian general, Feng Yu-
Slang, who has been actively crlti-
cizing Chang Kai-shek's admins
tration since he went to the United
States more than year ago, had
been ordered home.
The government announcement
said:
"Feng Yu-Siang was sent to the
United States last year to study
water conservation. He has COM
pleted his mission and now is asked
by his government to return home
before the end of the year. This
order Is being conveyed to hinf by
the Chinese Embassy in Washing
ton"
Informants said the government
which for months had sought to dis
regard the generals public attacks
on the civil strife in China and
the national administration, decided
to order him home after the formal
presentation of his case to the
Kuomintang government party
executive committee.
They said the general probably
would refuse to return to China
where he once was closely associated
with Gen. Chang, and might take
refuge elsewhere if asked to leave
the United States.
Gen. Feng had no immediate COM
ment. Through a secretary, the gen.
eral said, he would issue a~state-
ment within the next day or two.
An official of the Chinese Embassy
said "the Chinese governments in
structions have been carried out and
Gen. Feng has been notified that
his mission to the United States is
ended as of December 81" He added
that the governments instructions
included directive to the general to
return to China, and this has been
delivered.
The Embassy official said the mat
ter now is up to Gen. Feng.

Margaret Truman doesn't believe
she has "the talents for Broadway"
At press conference at the White
House yesterday, the President IS
daughter said reports she had been
offered a chance to sing at a Times
Square restaurant at $4,000 weekly
were "just newspaper article to
me-"
I've never seen a concrete OFFER"
she said, smilingly.
She added, however, that her
answer would be no"
Her concert in Constitution Hall
here tomorrow night will conclude
a tour which began in October dur
ing which she made some two dozen
singing appearances.
After that, she said, I'm going
to have a little fun and take a
Christmas vacation"
Future Plans Indefinite.
Her future plans are indefinite,
Miss Truman said, but another con-
cert tour is possible, perhaps before
spring, and she has mot entirely
given up the idea of going into
opera.
Il want to 60 on working on my
voice all the time I'm singing" the
blond soprano declared, but with
whom or where is not definite. 1T
would be wonderful some day to
study abroad" she admitted.
Strickler, her voice teacher, has a
great deal yet to give me-" We've
been working very hard all along
the tour" she said.
Obviously at ease with the press,
Miss Truman delighted the high
school newspaper reporters present
by saying she had been reporter on
her high school paper in Missouri
and '1oved it,"
The answer to that is still no."
she said, when asked whether any
serious romances had developed.
Switches Ring to Right Hand.
Whats the meaning of that ring
on your f1nger?" persisted a reporter,
indicating Miss Truman's left hand.
"Oh, that's the ring Mother and
Daddy gave me for graduation" she
laughed. I'D better switch it to the
other hand" she added, glancing at
the newsreel cameras.
For her concert tomorrow at $50
pm, the Presidents daughter has a
new dress. 1t Is of white-satin bro
cade, she said with pride, is off
shoulder and has full skirt.
Her family will be there, as we'll as
several relatives.
Miss Truman was corrected by a
reporter when she said that "the
whole family's heard me now"

when reminded that her father
hadn't. He hasn't heard me. That's
