...made 80 films before 1960, popped up on Capitol Hill last week sans King Kong but with Julius Epstein, who wrote Casablanca, to talk about copyright law. She and fellow Hollywood old-timers want Congress to award writers of pre-1960 films royalties each time their work is rerun...

Aides were still working through the morning of Aug. 5 preparing press-briefing books for the public announcement that afternoon...
