y» BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- He geems, as he pads wispily down ' g studio street, as if a sudden cut of wind might carry him away. But when he sits down in his office and talks about the devo- tion of his life--the movie busi- ness--the ancient eyes take on a glow, and the voice speaks foreefully. This is Adolph Zukor, 93 to- day and still keeping daily of- fice hours at Paramount Studios which he founded. The Hungarian-born ex-furrier was one of the major architects of the movie industry. He began with a penny arcade in 1903, la- ter helped create the star sys- tem and tieatre chains and the big-studio operation. Some of the Zukor innovations have faded with changing indus- try patterns. Studios no longer Theatre Dovn But Not Out... TORONTO (CP) -- Peter Mann, artistic director of The Playhouse, a Toronto theatre which closed after one produc- tion, said Wednesday the thea- tre may be open again in six weeks, His father, realtor David Mann, who financed the thea- tre converted from a movie house at a cost of $500,000, had said earlier it would reopen in the fall. The Playhouse, a gift to his son, opened Nov. 2 with the broadway musical She Loves Me, under Peter's direc- tion. The show ran nearly seven weeks. The senior Mr. Mann es- timated the production lost nearly $40,000. '"'We didn't have a show to follow our first one," he said. control assemblages of stars. Film companies divested their theatre chains on government orders, And the Hollywood stu- dios now are virtually clusters of independent producers. Zukor has witnessed many changes in the film world but he was never more confident. SAYS BUSINESS GOOD "I think the picture business is in better condition now than it has been for the last five years," he remarked. "'T V had its vogue, when the novelty of having entertainment in the home was so enticing that peo- ple didn't care what they looked at. "But it has always been true in show business that when you feed the public the same thing over and over again, no matter how good it is,-the diet gets stale. "Now people are willing to pay money to go out and see movies, And fortunately the pro- ducers are making more good Pictures than ever before." Zukor speaks not from hecr- say. He sees many films, Parz- mount's and competitors', and/| watches a great deal of televis- ion as well. Now chairman of the board emeritus of Para- mount Pictures, he spends every business day in his New York office from 1 to 4 p.m. "I like to talk to people at studios, from producers to the backlot workers, and give them the benefit of my experience, for what it is worth," he said.

Fisherman Worried By DOUG MARTIN VANCOUVER (CP) -- Faced with a drop in the lucrative salmon run, British Columbia fishermen look to 1966 as some- thing less than a happy new year. It will be a bad year for the Fraser River's annual run of sockeye salmon, the fishermen's one big cash crop. "There haven't been predic- tions of runs on other rivers, but indications are that there 'won't be anything big enough to offset the drop on the Fraser run," Homer Stevens, secretary treasurer of the B.C. Fisher- men's Union said in an inter- view. The Fraser catch is expected to drop to 750,000 sockeye--from previous catches of up to 4,000,- 000. The forecast was made after a study by the Interna- tional Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission. "The drop in halibut catches accompanied by a continued decline in catches of halibut and perhaps herring, Mr. Stev- ens said. "The irop in halibut catches @re a result of overfishing in the Bering Sea," he said. "In 1963--the year the Japa- nese were first allowed to fish the Bering Sea--Canadians took 4,000,000 pounds. In 1964, our pounds and in 1965 the catch was only 200,000 pounds." Mr. Stevens said a noticeable decline also occurred in the summer herring catch between 1964 and 1965. "Catches dropped from 90,000 tons in 1964 to 60,000 in 1965," he said. One bright spot in the B.C. fishing industry is an increased demand for cod, sole and rock fish to be ground and used in fish sticks and fish blocks, "Our fishermen are just starting to make use of the ground fish potential," Mr. Stevens said. "Last year was the best on tecord for catches for ground fish stock and we expect an increase in 1966. One company, B.C. Packers, Ltd., has just built a $3,000,000 plant primarily for processing ground fish." However, Mr. Stevens and some industry spokesmen fear the industry could be wiped out before it is developed. They say restrictions are needed to prevent depletion of stock on the B.C. coast by huge deep-sea fishing flotillas from Russia and Japan, Fishermen had a taste of the Russian invasion last fall when a fleet of trawlers, tankers and factory shins anchored in Queen Charlotte Sound and proceeded catches pere under 1,000,000 to drag for bottom fish. TRIO OF INSURRECTIONS Poverty Calls The Coup, Not Peking, By PETER BUCKLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Poverty, not China, is appar- ently at the root of three re- markably similar military re- volts that have erupted in France's former African colon- eS in the last month. The expulsion of China's rep- resentatives from Dahomey and the Central African Republic and the anti-Chinese tone of statements coming from the new military regime in Upper Volta are regarded by some Western observers as a smoke- screen. There is little doubt that, after an initial surge of fellowship, China has fallen into a bad odor) in much of Africa. But the| Chinese were not believed to hhave been particularly active in the three former French colon- ies where military men have taken over. And the former civilian rulers were all regarded as moderates, unlikely to join such other for-| mer territories as Mali and) Guinea in close flirtation with) the Communists What all three countries have in common is small populations, backward economies. and few prospects for quick improve-} ment. | CAN'T CHANGE FACTS | A military takeover is not likely to change the unpleasant facts.

There is nothing so far to in- dicate that the military leaders in the three countries were in collusion. However, they may have been inspired by the for- mer Belgian Congo where Gen. Joseph Mobutu took over the government from its quarrelling civilian rulers. PARIS COOL The military takeover in the three countries has not been given a warm reception in Paris France, with a bigger per- capita foreign aid bill than any jother country, has pumped an estimated $1,700,000,000 into its former central and west African territories since 1960.
