Making Movie From Best

By BOB THOMAS
AP Motion Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP)-How they
could get a movie out of linn
Whitehead's best seller, "The FBI
Story," seemed a puzzle.
The bonk had a wealth of fas
cinating data, but no central story
line. So when 1 learned that War

with the film version, 1 went out
to Burbank to investigate.
I sought out director Mervyn
LeRoy, the Itooney-sized movie
maker and race track tycoon.
how on earth did you get a
script out ot 'The FBI Story'?'
I asked him.
"Toughest, job 1 ever tackled,'

"This is where Stewart goes on
his first case." Leltoy said. "The
banker is killing off the rich In

a tough case, but the FBI solves
it. I've got 160 sets on this pic
ture, more than 1 ve ever had on
a picture before."
Did J. Edgar Hoover see the
script?
'Did he! Of course, he read it.
So did the attorney general. They
have given us terrific cooperation
in preparing the story. We'll shoot
part of it in Washington. Also at
the FBI training grounds at Camp
Quanlico, in New York, St. Louis
and the Bronx.
How dons the picture end?
"Think I'm going lo tell you?"
he snorted.
Obviously not, I concluded as he
stalked off to toss some directions

my case. I sought out James
Stewart for an explanation of
how the story was licked.

Japanese Use Psychology

Honing psychology.
In terms that the average, swel

arc trying to think themselves

This is no simple feat, and the
Japanese have spent centuries
perfecting an elaborate set of
gimmicks to help their mental
air-conditioning systems to func

One is Ihe wind-bell, a simple,
charming device that captures the
faintest breath of a breeze and
magnifies it into a tinkling little
sound. Almost every home and of

if you're in the right frame of

GOP, Democrats Nominate
Senate Candidates In NY
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York state Republicans
and Democrats nominate their
candidates for U. S. senator to
day while Alaska residents make
their big decision on whether to
join the Union as the 49th state.
Other voting takes place in
Mississippi, where state Demo
crats nominate a senator, six con
gressmen and local officers.
Two political veterans, Demo
cratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner
of New York City and Republican
Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, ap
peared in line for reluctant nom
ination as senatorial candidates in
New York.
The Democrats and Republi
cans found it much more difficult
to choose nominees for the Sen
ate than for the governor's race.
Monday night, as expected, the
Democrats nominated Gov. Avcr-
ell Harriman for a second four
year term and the Republicans
tapped Nelson A. Rockefeller to
oppose him.
Democratic leaders, finding dif
ficulty in agreeing on a candidate
for senator, hoped to persuade
Wagner to make the run as a
compromise choice. Party offi
cials were unable to get together
behind one of the six active can
didates. Wagner had said he did
not want to run.
However, should the Wagner
draft fail, there was a possibility
the nomination would go to Thom-
K. finletler, former secretary
of the Air Force who is now a
New York City lawyer, or to Dist.
Atty. Frank S. Hogan, also of
New York City.
Keating, like Wagner, voiced no
interest in the Senate race.
The general outlook in Alaska
was for a 2-1 victory for state
hood advocates.
Congress gave a go-ahead for
the referendum several months
ago when it passed an Alaska
statehood bill.
In Mississippi, five incumbent
members of Congress are un
opposed for Democratic renomi
nation, which is tantamount to
election.
They are Sen. John Stennis and
Representatives Tom Abernethy,
Jamies Whitten, Frank Smith and
John Bell Williams.
