BOB THOMAS IN HOLLYWOOD The Oscar Show: 'Just Wonderful By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Aca- demy Awards aftermath: "Isn't it marvelous? Isn't it beautiful?" Bob Hope rhapso- dized as he gazed over the glit- tering throng at the Oscar Ball. "They all came out. That's what is so great about it: They all came out." Indeed, it seemed as though Hollywood's entire galaxy, from Francis X. Bushman to Sandra Dee, had turned out to show there' is life in the old town yet. There was happy feeling in the air, both at the awards telecast in Santa Monica's Civic Audi- torium and at the ball in the Beverly Hilton's International) Ballroom. Not since the prewar era when awards were given at din- ner parties in hotel ballrooms had there been so much com- munity spirit. QUESTIONS RAISED There was the usual quarter- backing about some aspects of the awards. Much of it centred on the choice of Peter Ustinov for best supporting actor. No one questions the skill of his comic invention as the all- thumbs jewel heister in Top- kapi. But was he in support? Ustinov shared star billing with Melina Mercouri and Maxi- milian Schell. If there were an Oscar for good sportsmanship, Audrey Hepburn would have won it. She could have stayed mainly in the plains of Spain, Despite the academy not nominating her for My Fair Lady, she flew here to share her co- workers' triumphs. A bit of drama almost was passed over in the rush of ma- jor awards at the end of the program. It was a from Patricia Neal, last year's best actress, now coi.valescing from, strokes: "I am sorry I am unable to be with you to- night. I send my love to all." The movie industry will be lucky if it can provide as good a show next year. Already there is talk of transferring the event to a more suitable loca- tion: The magnificent new mu- sic. centre in downtown Los Angeles. New Toxic Spray For Elm TORONTO (CP) -- Pest con- trol experts: from across Can- ada met Wednesday to learn how to use a new, highly toxic chemical to fight Dutch elm disease. The chemical, Bidrin, {fs a preventive agent -- not a cure. It is injected into the tree and kills the beetles that spread the) fungus disease. Shell Oil Limited developed Bidrin and insists that anybody using it must first pass a test because of the chemical' tox- icity. The 140 persons attending the course spent six hours at the Ontario College of Educa- tion. Dr. World Expands Like Balloon?

Admission 1.75 By BORIS MISKEW ' The United States-backed air assaults on North Vietnamese targets appear to be about as effective so far as scratching one's left ear when the right one is itching. These assaults in the last two months obviously grew out o! the repeatedly-frustrated efforts by the Americans and South Vietnamese' to weed out the numerous and widely-scattered rebel strongholds which control at least a third of that South Asian trouble spot, The task for the Americans and South Vietnamese would be relatively simple if the rebels were grouped in one or two sec- tors of the country. But as things stand, the rebels, led by the Viet Cong, are difficult to pin down. They control a sizable portion American Viet Air Assaults Like Scratching WrongItch tof the country about 150 miles fol for the success of the rebel! operations.

Soil Tests Start For Nuclear Plant BAY RIDGES (Staff) -- Soil testing is now being carried out as part of the overall site de- velopment work here for the proposed Pickering generating station. Three-ton weights are being placed on single steel beams which have been sunk 50 feet into the ground at Fairport Beach. The tests, being made by the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission, will show if the soil at the foot of Sandy Beach rd. is suitable to hold the two proposed 500,000 kilowatt turbo generators and their expected vibrations. Actual construction of the plant is expected to begin as soon as drawings are com- pleted. The turbine buildings, about nine stories high, will comprise only part of the complex which will be the second largest nu- clear power station in the world. As proposed, the plant will produce some 1,000,000 kilo- watts of electricity with de- signs to double this amount when required. So far five soil tests have been carried out at the pro- posed site and all have stood the 300-ton test. Five more will be carried out before ground plans are drawn up for the project. To test the ground a hydrau- lic jack is placed on top of the steel beam which has been driven 50 feet into the soil.
