By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD (UPI) -Philip Ahn, the distinguished Oriental actor plays Master Kan in the Rung series, has embarked on a mission that would befit any of the movies io which he has in the past 35 years. He soon will leave for Korea to participate in a formal state memorial to his father who died in 1938. Ahns father is known as the Thomas Paine of puc of wrote under the name of and. was once minister of home affairs and acting prime minister! of the provisional govern-ment of Korea at a time in that country's history when it was a Japanese protectorate. After many imprison- ments and subsequent releases by the Japanese; my father died in a prison hospital in.

Rut wars and conflict have ravaged the country almost since his death. When the current Korean president took office he. donated 10 acres, of land on the outskirts of Seoul as a memorial park, in honor of my father. A mausoleum of the magnitude of -the-Jeffer- son Memorial has.

been constructed in Dosan Park and, following a parade and impressive ceremonies, Ahn Ghang Ho will be reburied Nov. 10.

He is Robert De Niro, a 28-year old New Yorker whose face has some of the tough-jawed, broad-nosed quality of Brando. DE NIRO started acting at 10 as the cowardly lion in an acting school production of The WiV' ard of Oz. By 16 he was studying, with Stella Adler, Brando's dramatic coach in his early career.

Francis Ford Coppola, who directed and coau-thored The Godfather, wanted desperately to have Brando appear in the sequel. How would that be possible, since Brando as Con Corleone died in the first film? "I've got a very simple device of using Marlon. said Coppola during the script-writing stages of the second film.
