The vivacious star is working mow to bring her aunt, Mrs. Antose Straznickienie, out of Lithuania. Don't bet against Ruta. Soviet authorities won't. In 1964, after eight years of trying to get her 85-year-old grandmother out of Lithuania, Ruta picked up the phone and called Nikita Khrushchev. She didn't get the Soviet premier but she got somebody in the Kremlin who said he was Khrushchev's English inter- preter, *It cost me $200 to talk but I got action," recalls Ruta. - She took the desperate meas- are when she got word that her grandmother was dying. After the phone call her visa Was approved by the Soviet em- bassy in a matter of hours. A few weeks later, the grand- mother was living in Hollywood. "Her health is fine," says Ruta. "And she loves it here but she is lonely for her other daughter. So I'm going on the phone again. **There's a new head man in Bureaucracy Again Moscow now. but I think I'll get the same results. They couldn't have been more co-operative before." Ruta, busy as ever in movies and television, is also returning to her first love--singing and dancing.

Jackie Gl*ason's Satur- day night hour, for example, has a production budget of around $180,000 a week and the bill for the show when the cost of airtime is added, brings the tab well over $300,000. The so-called "inexpensive" shows--those with $40,000 pro- duction budgets like To Tell The Truth and I've Got A Secrei-- build up expensively. With time costs they come to well over $100,000 an evening. This season's crop of hour- long programs have budgets ranging upwards from around $130,000 an episode. Weekly va- riety shows with their needs for hew. sets and costumes, not only run high, but do not have much rerun value. The half-hour situ- ation comedies, knocked out for sums ranging from $55,000 to $90,000, are like money in the bank. They can be rerun during the summeseason and _ later sold and resold profitably as syndicated series. About 40 per cent of the net- work shows are dropped each year. When a variety show goes down the ra'ircs drain 2fter a short run, . is likely to 2 ina flood of red ink. Thus the fact that Mitch Miller will be able to bing back some of his old, abandoned Sing Along shows for NBC summer reruns is an enor- mous piece of good luck. REDUCES NEED Next season, the usual need for 30-odd new series has been further reduced by CBS' deci- sion to have two nights of fea- tue films instead of only one, as it had this season. With NBC devoting two nights to movies, and ABC one, the public will be teated to five nights and 10 hours of films a week. Board Dismisses Appeal On Tax OTTAWA (CP)--The tax ap- peal board has dismissed the contention of a man living in Canada and working in United States that he should not have to pay inc@me tax to the Canadian government on _pay- ments he makes in New York. T. Desmond Earl, a resident of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., who works in Niagara Falls, N.Y., claimed as deductions from his taxable income in Can- ada the payment during 1963 of $506 to the state of New York for state income tax, and $516 in contributions to the Bell Aerosystems Corp.'s employees pension fund. Mr. Eari's payments of in- come taxes to the United States government were allowed as a tax deduction on his Canadian tax return because of the Can- ada-U.S. tax convention. i But the board ruled this con- vention: did not apply to the state of New York. It also ruled that the pension fund was not a registered fund within the meaning of the fed- eral income tax law of Canada. SEAWAY TO BE COLORED The last two episodes of TV's Seaway are to be filmed in color for showing to buyers for Amer- ican networks. the Movies. TV has found, do very well in the ratings--al- though the audience sizes rise and fall rather dramatically with the power of the star names and the reputation of the movie. But the old movie supply is running out in the face of the demand while the cost of ac- quiring recent good ones is. in- creasing. Recently CBS paid $1,000,000 for The Music Man and another, lesser effort, but presumably will be able to run it several times. Last year Hollywood pro- duced about 300 hours of moving picture entertainment. At the same time the three networks fille@ 3,500 hours of evening time alone.
