Virtual Exile Begun
As Acting President
0fChina Reaches US,
By Seymour Topping
Assoeiufsd Press Stoff Writer

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Iii
Tsung-jen, acting president of
Nationalist China, arrived in the
United States last night as vir-
tual political exile. The plain fact
is that he has no safe place to go
back to in China.
Ii said on arrival in San Fran
cisco that his absence from China
Is only temporary.
Ii said on arrival in San Fran
cisco that his absence from China
is only Temporary.
He left again at 1922 am. 1922
EST by chartered plane for New
York's Presbyterian Hospital for
treatment of an liberated stom-
ach. This treatment is described
as his principal reason for being
in this country.
Ii also plans to talk to American
officials-presumably about aid for
the Nationalist cause.
Will Pay Respects to Truman.
He said he naturally" would
pay his respects to President Tru-
man.
Pan-American Air Lines said Ii
would reach New York around 8
pm. unless headwinds forced re-
f,,o1;v,r II, ThicooO
President Ii, a lean man Of me-
dium height, with sparse, graying
hair. sparkling eyes and constant
smile is accompanied by his wife
and his sons, Ii Yau-luen and Ii
jackson, and several aides.
At public reception here in
San Francisco's Chinatown, largest
In this country, Ii said:
The Communist threat to China
and Asia is grave but there is cause
for hope. II expect all Chinese
will support the Nationalist gov
ernment. This is not civil war.
1t is a war of aggression directed
by the Third International. We're
not only fighting for China. We're
fighting a worldwide campaign"
Ii declared his absence from
China in no way affected the
campaign against the Commu-
nists and "as soon as my physical
condition permits ., shall
return to China and resume my
personal direction Of the strug-
GLE
Unlikely to Go Home Soon.
But developments in Commu-
nist-overrun China make it i'm
probable that Ii will be able to
go home in the foreseeable fu-
ture. He could return to the
British crown colony of Hong
Kong, where he had been hos
pitalized since November 20. Ill
ness Is a traditional refuge in
Chinese politics. !
After Ii has undergone medi-
cal treatment, he will get down
to business with American off,
cials. He will speak for Nation
alist China with little more than
token authority as nominal head
Of the government.
Lis visit to the United States
will almost certainly prove en-
barrassing to American officials.
Protocol required the govern
ment to extend an invitation to
the acting president once he had
expressed desire to visit this coun-
try. But Lis visit will serve to
rally critics of the State Depart
ment's China policy in a new
campaign to obtain additional aid
for the Nationalists.

BIG SCREEN HIT [ IS NOW FEATURE,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

State of the Union" has heen transferred to the screen by that m ster of down-to-earth laughs, Frank Capra, and, with the aid of d stellar cast. emerges at the Capi- tol Theatre every bit as timely, witty and ribtickling as did the orig nal Lindsay Grouse satire on today's front page morals and manners which packed them in on Broad way for 765 performances.
 A noteworthy collection of screen royalty Spencer Tracy. Katharine Hepburn, Van Johnson, Angel a LansbIry, Adolphe NJ en jou and Lewis Stone-have the t.me of their respective acting careers in this fast-moving and punch-tilled story of black horse candidate for the White House whose principals of integrity are supporte by hls staunch wife but come close to be- ing sidetracked under the influ- ence of the owner of chain of newspapers who is as dazzling as she is rich and power-mad.
 Tracy is the self-made airplane tycoon who stumps the country as champion of the underdog with as assorted an entourage as you could ever hope to meet, among them Miss Hepburn, the wife with whom he is on cool terms but who is persuaded to accompany her hus- band on his nationwide tour for the sake of appearances. Then there are Miss Lansbury, as the shrewd news paper publisher who hopes not only to put Tracy into the White House but to establish herself there as well; Van Johnson as the glib cam paign manager who knows which side his ballot is buttered on, and Adolphe Menjou, as the harried po- litical boss constantly on the verge of case of ulcers as the result ot having to placate r-.e two rival ladies'
