SHANGHAI, China, March 22.—Beautiful Shanghai girls, whispering

of their love in the accents of many

countries are working against time

now in a Cupid-accelerating campaign to marry ‘American husbands

before “we all go home.” * This bewitching campaign coin spring here, is so murky here that everything

cides with the arrival of shesed

The weather, however, is not exactly .co-operating. .

has been grounded except pounding hearts bound on flights of love. No, it is not spring that is doing it. It is the chilling realization that the day is not too far dis-

Nina, and other White Russian

girls here of a similar mind, would

rather be Americans than Soviet Russians. So, they are holding off Soviet passports with one hand

while angling for American pass: ports with the other. The same day I heard Nina's story I found myself listening to another girl in love with a departed major. She was an exquisitely beautiful girl of delicate features and t | jovely ivory skin. She spoke with a cultured accent and when she told me her name, I recognized it as that of a wealthy family of Comparadore caste. * She was wearing a “hig” gold name bracelet and she fingered it

as she dreamingly talked of him.

-1 She was more optimistic than Nina.

“He will be Jack, ” she insisted.

“And “if he comes back, is she prepared to face the problems of

marriage to a westerner? Eurasian

children for instance? “Of course, If I love a man I don’t care -what he is and I like Eurasians.” This .confession took place against the soft plush background of the Mandarin club, Shanghai's best night spot. at least by price

criterion. Just how many natjonali~ ties are represented here in this oriental Paris, I do not know-but there are some of the mpst exciting types and blends I have ever seen. There is the mixture of Irish and Chinese for example, The White Russians and French are perhaps most noticeable because many bear such striking resemblance to American girls, Mink coats are prevalent, here too, but they take on a different value

where they can be bought for as little .as $250. In this gay-sad merry-go-round, whirling ever faster as time draws near for Auld Lang Syne, the American army, navy and. air forces alike are caught up. The navy was in the news the other day with a shipboard wedding aboard a cruiser anchored at Whangpoo, A lieutenant commander and a lovely White Russian society girl were the principals.

tant when ‘this theater command will be closed down and the boys shipped home. The foreigm offices of the world read Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemey3 er's recent reMr. MeGaffin marks to this effect with certainly no greater interest and undoubtedly far less emotion than the girls of Shanghai. This story is not meant as a reflection on “the young ladies of Shanghai. It merely represents the writer's efforts to present a detached picture of what Hollywood might call a “super colossal human drama taken straight from life.” Material from Various Sources The material for these observations has been gathered from various sources—some from newspapers, some from friends who know my interest in this project, and some from personal interviews. From a little White Russian girl, for example, I learned that she would “marry anyone” to get to the United States. * Nina, let us call her, came from a poor but proper background. She had a pug nose and the Irish name of her Irish-American father, who married her mother while here in the marines in the middle '20s and then deserted his little brood to retumn to America. She was moaning for a handsome major who went off without marrying her, “These Americans,” Nina sighed. “A girl can’t believe anything they tell hér. Why he | used to say, ‘Darling, I loff you'” | International Aspect

There is an international aspect! to Nina's problem which makes it even more pressing for her to at-| tain her goal. Russia's plan is to gather in all White Russians as Soviet citizens. |
