journalism. On the advice Of a
syndicated columnist who Is the
master Of this technique, and
also the villain Of THE WASH

johnson as her special target.
And Honor Survives
Once she has deceived him
into believing her intentions are
honorable. she becomes his ver-
liable shadow, day and night.
of duty and on duty.
This titillatingly intimate re-
lationship gives the girl-and
incidentally the films audience
"a slant on congressional life
that can be, and frequently Is.
dramatic. In the girls case.
the discovery is somewhat dis
concerting. The man she ex-
poets to find vulnerable to any
profitably corrupting influence
turns out to be conspicuouSly
honorable. He works hard,
thinks straight, resolutely re-
sists temptation to make him
self rich and. in the showdown
passage in the film, Realistically
throws away his chance for re-
election.
This he does by voting against
the shipbuilders and shipyard
workers in his district in favor
of the national interest on q
bill he, himself, had originally
sponsored.
There will be cynics who will
scoff at Pirosh's concept Of his
ideal Congressman, especially in
this era of political hysteria and
opportunism, but the fllm has
an answer for this. One Of its
dramatic points is that this very
cynicism explains to q large
extent the mal-functioning Of
Congress.
First Title Better
It was basic in Pirosh's
scheme for THE Washington
Story" originally titled "Mr.
Congressman" land more aptly
in this correspondents opinion),
that the film should be shot
here. Its realism undoubtedly is
considerably the greater for this
decision.
It is an interesting aspect Of
"The Washington Story" that
its writer-director suppresses
political partisanship in his
story Of Congress. His hero is
a Democrat but there is in him
no more of integrity. and con-.
siderably less of political ex-
perience. than in Louis CAL
hern's Republican colleague.
Another interesting detail Of
the plot Of "The Washington
Story" is it's treatment of the
lobbyist played by Sidney Black
mer. Ultimately this man, who
looks so suspiciously like the CO.
villain in the story, proves to be
the one who gives the hero the
principle upon which his most
dramatic vote is cast.
Pirosh's good will in writing
and directing THE Washington
Story" stops short Of the sensa-
tional-making columnist played
so crisply by Philip Ober. This
character ends up being knocked
cold by the young Congressman
which somehow is one of the
most realistic and lifelike scenes
in 1.-THE Washington Story"

The Passing. Show
Hollywood Speaks Word for Congressman
In Pirosh's The Washington Story
By Joy Cormody


Robert Pirosh, a small. bald
ing writing man in his mid-30s.
owns the softest voice in Holly
wood.
There is in him. however, a
profound and persuasive elo-
quence and in his latest film,
"The Washington Story" which
had its world premiere here FRI
day night, he uses this in behalf
Of Congress.
It is not 6 politically partisan
viewpoint from which Pirosh
speaks. Nor is it q pussyfooting
one. THE Washington Story"
idea came to him more than q
year ago and as lieas 60, it Is
D simple one. Pirosh's thought.
which turns out to be somewhat
complicated in It's final express
sion on the screen, is that the
average Congressman, regard
less Of party. II Q decently In
tontioned American anxious to
zee democracy work.
It's Q Tough Job
In q period Of political frenzy
such as this. there Is q special
drama in Pirosh's objective
slant on his subject. He is in the
position Of q man passionately
pleading against passions domi-
mating today's political scene.
What he has tried to do in
"'The Washington Story" is to
present q total picture Of an
average Congressman that will
throw q dramatic and revealing
light upon the man and the
once he holds.
Pirosh'b congressional hero,
played by Van johnson and q
winning choice Of average
American the latter Is. should be
q popular figure on the Nations
screens from now until election
day. He Il pretty close-perhaps
too close for reality-to the
ideal public servant every one
would like as his representative
In Washington.
Nevertheless, If the hero's vir-
tues are q little too overwhelm-
ling, he has the dramatic merit
Of shedding considerable useful

AS a writer and director who

At the same time, a British Staf1
officer here announced a military
court Of inquiry would meet to
determine who killed the nun. He
did not say when. In earlier state

British blamed the Egyptians.
