Book on Washington Politics
Centers in House, Smith Savs
- By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
.Correspondent
Washington The new book
about Washington politics,
"Advise and Consent" by
Allen Drury,
co s t readers
at least two
things:
- 1. Loss of
sleep it is
such a crack
ing good story
that the read
er finds .it
hard to put
a. Robt. smith flown. W 1 1 n
over 600 pages of adventures
in the national spotlight, the
book builds toward its climax
and never becomes dreary go
ing. 2. Loss of illusions it is
such an authentic account of
how the political game is play
ed in Washington that it tells
many things the civics books
never printed.
Drury, a New York, Times
correspondent who covers the
Senate, centers most of the
action of his novel in the up
per house of Congress where
the reader is introduced to
many Senate-types, past and
present. The author claims his
characters are . amalgams of
many men who. have passed
this way, not clear carbons of
single specific men. But few
will mistake the similarity be
tween one character and the
late demogogue from Wiscon
sin who all but paralyzed the
nation not so long ago before
it became fashionable to give
the boss of the Kremlin the
red carpet treatment. -Focuses
in Battle '
The plot focuses on the
battle over confirmation by
the Senate of a presidential
appointment of a controversi
al figure to be Secretary of
State. It sets off a contest of
political strength not unlike
the real life episodes of the
past year involving Clair
Booth Luce and Sen. Wayne
Morse, or the fight that de
feated Lewis Strauss as Sec
retary of Commerce.
In this way Drury shows
how separate branches of gov
ernment come to grips in a
power struggle, maneuvering,
plotting, hesitating, conniving,
mourning, even rising to acts
of great courage.
- What all of this tells, aside
from the fascinating chain of
events that can occur here
behind the scenes where the
public is not supposed to peak,
is one simple and sometimes
frightening truth: .we have a
government of law but it is
men who make it function.
Lifeless Thing -
The law is a lifeless thing
until men, all of . them, quite
human, give it animation in
accord with their individual
strengths, weaknesses, vir
tues, wrongs.
Two senators who reviewed
this book-Richard L. Neu
berger (O-Ore.) and Eugene
McCarthy (D-Minn.) did so

without objecting to its char
acterization of Washington
politics. They did not say, as
the more idealistic reader
might want to believe, that
this is a sensation-packed
book that does not truly re
flect affairs of state. Perhaps
a senator -would be embar
rassed to contend that he and
his colleagues are really bet
ter . than this book portrays
them to be.
In only one sense is this
novel out of proportion to the
real Washington. None of its
many sensational elements
blackmail, romance, intrigue,
death, presidential ambition
are foreign to Washington. All
of this fiction has happened
here at one time or another,
much of it in the short , span
of a decade that this reporter
has been covering Washing
ton. The literary license we
must allow Drury is to com
pact all of these elements
into one grand episode, when
in real life headline events
usually contain only one or
two of these dramatic ele
ments at a time.
Has Philosophy
The book is interwoven
with philosophy and contemp
lative thoughts about our
country and its democratic
system, and sound political in-

sight that is instructive. There
is looming over much of the
action the classic human di
lemma: does the end, no mat
ter how noble or seemingly
necessary, justify all means,
no matter how shabby some
of them may be? The climax
gives a pretty clear answer.
Drury has said he set out
merely to tell, via fiction,
how things are done in Wash
ington. He succeeded mag
nificently. What he also suc
ceeds in doing is to impress
the reader with the power for
good or bad that accures to
every senator by virtue of his
being one of only 50 that
comprise the most powerful
legislative body anywhere. A
senator's voting record is only
a fraction of the story of his
conduct in high office; and so
when the voters send to
Washington men with char
acter defects, the character of
our government will accord
ingly be shaped.
