State
Film Fine
By CHARLES GENTRY

II YOU'RE looking Tor adVen-
ture In the film department. you
don't have to 60 any further than
the Palms-State where one of the
most intriguing mysteries OF the
year opened yesterday.
The Woman in. the Window
has the kind of suspense. right up
to the ironic ending, which most
murder movies try to capture and
so seldom succeed in doing.
It's not a ''whodunit" and II Is
not one of those pseudo-psycholog-
ical crime dramas. It's a really
absorbing film filled with tense
moments throughout and ii sus-
tains your interest without asking
your imagination to pole vault
over incredible circumstances.
The major promise is that even
the most innocent of men can be-
come caught ina net of very
ordinary circumstances and find
themselves involved in the most
heinous happenings.
In this ase it's Edward G..
Robinson. a staid and circumspect
college professor who puts his
wife and family on a train for a
brief vacation and then repairs
to his very conservative club,
where he joins his two friends,
District Atty. Raymond Massey
and physician Edmund Breen.
LAST WILD OAT
They joke about Robinson's
being a Temporary bachelor" and
accuse him of planning 10 spend
his last wild oat, which Robinson
emphaucally denies.
But after they have left, he
orders another drink and picks UP
book. On his way home he stops
to admire an exotic portrait in
the window of an art gallery and
suddenly finds himself confronted
by the model. herself, Joan Ben
nett.
After a brief conversation. he
takes her TO club, buys her a
drink and then escorts her home
where she has some more "etch-
ings" of herself to show him.
While he Is admiring the work
OF the same artist, her lover bursts
In, misconstrues Robinson's pres
ence and attempts to choke him
to death. But Robinson finds a
pair of scissors thrust into his
hand, with which he stabs his as
sailant.
Although his first inclination Is
to call the police. he realizes the
full and drastic extent OF such a
scandal. so he and Miss Bennett
proceed TO get rid OF the body in
one OF the most exciting sequences
OF the whole film.
But murder will out, and, in
this instance, it's a so-called body
guard of the murdered man who
appears with a small itemized
bill for blackmail, amounting to
S., 600.

a Court Appointments
For District Approved
BY Subcommittee

Four judicial ppointments for the
District were approved today by a
Senate judiciary subcommittee after
a brief hearing.
The nominees considered were
three for the United States Court OF
Appeals-E. Barrett Prettyman, for
mer corporation counsel; Bennett
Champ Clark, former Senator from
Missouri, and Wilbur K. Miller of
Owensboro, Ky. and Alexander
Holtzof, executive assistant to the
Attorney General, nominated for the
District Court.
The subcommittee headed by
Chairman McCarran Of the Judi
ciary ComDittee. also reported
favorably the nomination of John J
O'Connell Of Pennsylvania to be a
judge of the Unitet. States Court of
Appeals for the third circuit.
One Objects to Holtzoff
The only opposition recorded al
the hearing was the testimony OF
Louis F. McCabe of Philadelphia
who objected to the confirmation
of Mr.. Holtzoff. Mr.. McCabe, vice
president of the National Lawyers
Guild, said Mr.. Holtzoff, as legal
adviser TO the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation, had upheld that
agency in the illegal" raids on
radicals ordered by Attorney Gen.
eral A. Mitchell Palmer in the early
l920s. The witness also charged
Mr.. Holtzoff had not always con-
fined himself to truth and justice. .
Mr.. McCabe insisted Mr.. Holtz-
of would not make the sort of
judge before whom lawyers want to
practice"
Asked by Senator McCarran to
name the president of the Lawyers
Guild, the witness said he did not
knoW-there had been a recent ap-
pointment-but Municipal Judge
Nathan Margold was the immediate
past president Judge Margold
originally was nominated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the place on the
District bench for which President
Truman has named Mr.. Holtzoff
The Margold nomination was re-
turned to the White House when
the Senate Judiciary Committee
after several months failed to rec
ommend it.
Responsible for Merger.
A group of District bar leaders
gave hearty Endorsement to Mr..
Holtzoff's nomination. They de-
scribed him as man of the highest
integrity, lawyer of outstanding
ability so thoroughly familiar with
procedure in the District courts that
he was largely responsible for the
legislation which merged the old
Police Court with the Municipal
Court a few years ago.
Those who urged confirmation of
Mr.. Holtzoff included John j. Car
mody, Seton Darr, Milton King,
Paul B. Cromelin, H. Winship
Wheatley, Walter M. Bastian
Francis M. Hill, jr., and Godfrey
l.. Munter, all former presidents OF
the District Bar Association; Wilbur
L. Grey, secretary of the organiza-
ton, and A. K. Shipe.
No witnesses appeared against the
four other nominees and the sub
committee recommended their con-
firmation without discussion. Mr.
Holtzoff's nomination was approved
after a two-minute executive ses-
sion.
Senators Moore, Republican, OF
