NEW YORK-U It were not so appalingly timely and tragically true, Edward Chodorov'a "Decision," which opened the other night at the Belasco, might well be dismissed u just another lurid melodrama which *ldrta the im possible and mistake* sensation alistn for the theatre. But "Decision" deals with the problem of spreading native fascism and the disaffection and disunity which are its symptom*. For that reason atone It deserve* a respectful hearing. A high school principal'* son comes home from Italy, wounded, and learn* that hl* father, who had been instrumental in putting down a race riot in a booming war plant, head* a committee which is fighting a powerfullyentrenched, dictator-minded senator. He has gathered proof that the senator'* new*p*per incited the riot, that provocateur* were Imported Into the plant to *tart it. The boy argue* that hi* father ha* nothing to gain and everything to io*e, begs him to give up his political activities. But the old man point* out the importance of his fight, the need for decent American* to stand together against the growing unAmerican menace. The findings of the committee are to be placed before the Federal authorities. The principal is framed on a charge made by a girl who had been dismissed from hl* school. He is arrested and lynched, and the murder made to appear a suicide. But the people of the town, who had known the oid man for decades, have their say.
