Swedish Beauties, Lonely in Fi|m|ond,
Owe 1t to Rearing, Says Miss loren

a big star in Hollywood. But she
wants to go home for the same
reason that every woman wants
q home-to have an honest-to-
goodness man in her life. VIII
she beat the jinx dogging all the
Swedish actresses in Hollywood?
Greta Garbo came to Holly
wood for her first film in 1926.
She came here because her dis
coverer, Maurice Stiller, wouldn't
come without her. When she be-
came famous, he dropped out Of
sight. Jack Gilbert was next on
Garbo's roster of romances but it
ended without the fulf1llment of
marriage.
George Brent and Greta were
linked romatically over a period
Of several years, but nothing last
ing materialized. Greta kept to
to herself, brooding figure. walk
ing alone by night, avoiding gay
spots, stunning people. Then Leo
pold Stokowski joined her in mid
night walks. here and in Europe
But when marriage came to him
for the second time, he chose
young Gloria Vanderbilt. ,
She Is Still Alone.
Then Greta went with Gaylord
Houser, but that. too, has been
dissipated. There is still talk OF
a handsome member of a dress
makers family in New York. but
that won't add up to anything
So La Garbo is still a more or less
tragic flgure-as far as romance
is concerned.
Ingrid Bergman had a husband
when she arrived in Hollywood
And, to all. outward appearances
her marital life was serene during
her eight years in our town. But
I guess it wasn't as serene as 1t
appeared-it required only her
proximity to the Italian director
Roberto Rossellini, for short
time to send her marriage to DR.
Peter Lindstrom crashing against
the rocks of the Italian seacoast.
Now Ingrid is reported as un-
happy and distraught. She is
keeping to herself in her Rome
yilla-with only unhappiness to
show for her Hollywood career
Ingrid was reported to have writ
ten to Rossellini telling him, Il
love you," after seeing his first
film shown in America and without
ever having seen the man himself
You can't be happy at home Il
you write that kind of letter.
Viveca Lindfors was presuma-
bly, happily married when she ar
rived here. as was Signe Hasso
Now Viveca is divorced from her
Swedish mate and just married
RKO Director Don Siegel in
Paris. But she was so unhappy
over her career here that, before
she left for Europe. she stated
she wouldn't come back.
Hollywood's poor, frustrated-in-
love Swedish actresses!

Marta loren, the Swedish star
carries on the tradition Of roman
tic unhappiness for her fellow
countrywomen. Every one OF them,
from Greta Garbo to Ingrid Berg
man. have been jinxed by the little
man with the bow and arrow.
But perhaps Marta has the answer
for the dilemma faced by one
Swedish star after another in
Hollywood.
Swedish girls are brought up
differently from American girls,
the sad-eyed Marta told me. 1--WE
are taught not to flirt with men,
and to hold romance as something
precious. In Hollywood every one
treats romance lightly. It's
date with this one, a romance with
that one, an affair with another,
and never any serious thought
given to any Of these so-called
'romances.'
Marta came to Hollywood three
years ago from the same famous
Royal Dramatic Academy that
turned out .Garbo, Viveca Lind
fors, Signe Hasso and Bergman
Marta was so unhappy during her
first year at UNIVERSAL Interna-
tional Studio that she packed and
started for Sweden on several
occasions.
English Lack Hurt.
Her lack of knowledge OF the
English language was a painful
handicap. She was subjected to
the cruelest "ribbing," and her
Swedish sense of humor was not
equal to the problem. She wept
for long periods Of time in the
privacy of her dressing room and
at home.
Marta's troubles actually started
the moment she arrived in Ameri-
ca. From that point on, Miss
loren ceased to be Marta loren
She arrived in simple clothes such
as any girl would wear for plane
travel. Photographers shot her
from every angle as she stepped
from the plane. Not one of the
photos ever saw the light Of day
in a newspaper. She was con-
sidered too plump, too non-chic.
Her bosses ordered a whole new
arrival in America" She dieted,
and instead of her simple country
clothes, she wore the new look"
Also makeup artists made her un-
recognizable even to her own
family. Then she was photo
graphed all over again as Holly
wood wanted her to look on her
arrival.
II could see what Hollywood
expected of a woman and it made
me unhappy" she tells me.
Whole Life Strange.
ITO Hollywood, a woman is a
piece Of wood. prop and she is
supposed to look the way they
want her to, not the way she
wants to look. Everything else is
like that-she says what she is

1.-The Madwoman" continues a
play of completely insane and
hilarious humor as it tells the story
of a wise, If slightly demented,
countess who rids the world Of a

exploiters who want to destroy her

US. Acts 10 Keep Reds
From Getting Chinese
Assets Of Half Billion
By John N. Hishtower
Assoeioisd Press Sfoff Writer

Chinese citizens have secreted
we'll over half q billion dollars in
this country, 1t was estimated
yesterday and four Federal agen-
cies are at work to see that the
Communists don't get 1t.
Drastic Government action ap-
pears increasingly unlikely, it was
said. The Chinese wealth has been
skillfully concealed in banks and
investments. Neither the Chinese
Nationalists nor Communists may
ever lay hands on It.
The security of these and other
Chinese assets has been the SUBJ
ject of an intensive study for many
weeks, officials disclosed.
Four Agencies Named.
The four agencies which have
been deeply concerned to prevent
rich windfall from going to the
Communists are the State Depart
ment. the Treasury Department.
the Federal Reserve Board and the
New York State Banking superin-
tendent. Informants here said
they have been in almost daily
touch.
The problem with which they
are dealing Is closely related to
one Of the major complaints pri-
vately made by the State Depart
ment for several years against
the Chinese Nationalist Govern
ment. That complaint was and
is that the government, even when
appealing for American funds,
would not take the drastic mea-
sures against the privately held
assets of its own citizens which
might have yielded funds with
which to strengthen its armed
forces.

cede there Is q large question as to

in the Office of the Secretary OF
the Interior.
The committee members have
been cleared for access to data in
the field Of reactors (atomic piles,
and will conduct first hand ex-
animation Of programs and tech
nical information.
One matter of prime interest
to the electrical industry is when
atomic power is likely to become
available on a commercial scale.
The answer might affect decisions
on the construction of generating
plants powered by other fuels,
officials noted.
However, the Aces general ad-
visory committee, headed by DR..
J. Robert Oppenheimer. has esti-
mated it will be at least 20 years
before any appreciable amount of
electrical power will be made
commercially by atomic means in
the United States.

House Action Slated
lon Bill 10 Aid Firms
with Debt Payments

The House will be asked tomor-
row to authorize use of Finnish
debt payments to establish an edu-
cational exchange program be-
tween the United States and Fin
land.
The project would be UNDER
taken "as a mark Of respect and
friendship for a people with a
valiant record for maintaining
their independence and liberty"
It is embraced in a resolution
introduced by the late Represent
ative Sol Bloom. Democrat, Of
New York, who was chairman Of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee.
Companion Bill in Senate.
The resolution, now ready for
House action, bears the unar1i-
nous Endorsement of the commit
tee. A companion measure has the
approval of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and is await
ing action.
Finland's debt to the United
States arose in connection with
supplies furnished Finland by the
American Relief Administration
in 1919. The principal of the obli-
CATION was $8.281. .926.17. Through
the years, the interest rate has
varied from to 3 per cent.
Finland is the only nation to
maintain payments on a debt
arising out of the relief program
which followed World War I.
Would Set Up Special Account
The present schedule calls for
payments running through De-
cember Is. 1884. Dating from
now, the total by then will have
reached $l3.408.207.76. according
to the House committee.

recover even by drastic action, but
they contend the effort was never
made in any thoroughgoing man
ner.
To Rely on Skill.
1t Is the very skill with which
the money was hidden and perhaps
still Is being hidden that the
United States may finally rely on
to keep 1t from Communist hands
without some radical American
government action such as the
freezing Of all Chinese government
assets In this country.
Informants said yesterday that
the funds were hidden usually by
getting them into this country
under false>Hames as q result of a
series Of transactions sometimes
involving banks or black markets
in several different Chinese cities.
They declared. therefore, that it
was impossible to determine ex-
actly the volume of funds put away
for the benefit Of individual Chin
ese.
When the Chinese Nationalist
government instituted 4 number OF
sweeping financial reforms In Aug
ust, 194S, 1t is reported to have
set up secret committees in New
York and San Francisco Chinese
settlements to help it spot holders
Of huge sums which it might seize
for national government use in
the tight with Communists. Per-
sons familiar with the work of
these committees said yesterday
that they had been unable to turn
up more than probably about
$500, 900.

BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The Navy thinks 1t has licked
the toughest problem Of living and
fighting in the Arctic-keeping
warm.
It's scientists are perfecting a
new simple gadget that save 80 per
cent Of the body heat normally
lost by breathing and turns TO-
below zero cold inhaled air into q
springlike "a above.
The new gadget is q breathing
mask which weighs less than one
pound. It works on the principle
known to every farm boy: If you
wrap scarf around your nose, the
outside air doesn't feel so cold.
Starting with this. DR.. Norman
e. Phillips and Loyal Gon Of the
University Of Maryland developed
for the Navy face mask only q
few inches in diameter containing
several feet Of air passages.
Heat and moisture is extracted
from exhaled air and retained in
the passages, warming and hu-
midifying the inhaled air.
That's all there is to it. but the
Navy says it will enable man to
breathe comfortably even in the 10
