He's considered a goodwill ambassador there, a role he's putting to good use begin- ning in January by filming Peter Ustinov’s Russia for CTV. Ustinov wants the six one- hour shows to demystify the Soviet Union for the Western world. In doing so, the Brit- ish bon vivant is going back home, so to speak. “After all, I was conceived there — that counts for something,” he said. It counts with the Polit buro, which he says has given him free rein and promised to broadcast the programs in the Soviet Union. Ustinov believes it’s because his work can be trusted. “LOUSY SUBVERSIVE’ “Besides, both sides rec ognize I'd be a lousy sub force is accepted anywhere.

The PQ is to hold a special convention Jan. 19 to review its position on the platform for the next election. Meanwhile, Liberal members of the national assembly said the PQ cabinet and caucus upheavals are threatening the province's administration. Liberal House leader Gerard D. Levesque said the eabinet ministers Thursday because of Levesque's position. Social Affairs Minister Camille Laurin, Science Minister Gilbert Paquette and Denise Leblanc-Bantey, tninister for the status of women, resigned but were asked by Levesque to hold off on their departures until Monday, prompting speculation he hoped to work out a promise. Notably absent from the dropouts were Immigration Minister Louise Harel and Tourism Minister Marcel Leger, both outspoken advocates of Quebec indepen dence but pulled into cabinet only two months ago apparently to appease hardline party members Harel also planned to meet her riding executive Sunday night to discuss her position. The upheaval began after the premier told the PQ executive last Monday that the party must put aside a policy convention position equating a vote for the PQ in the next election with a vote for sovereignty The executive endorsed the idea, prompting PQ members Pierre de Bellefeuille and Jerome Proulx to sit as independents in the national assembly Two others — Denis Vaugeois and Jacques Baril have said they will do the same unless Levesque changes his stance by Monday.

They can be found in a handsome new book, Return Engagement: Faces to Remember — Then and Now (Clarkson N. Potter, $24.95). James Watters has written the text, and famed fashion photographer Horst has provided the up-to-date picture of 74 actresses, aged 60 to 95. Many of the actresses have remained in the public eye, such as Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert, Lillian Gish, Ginger Rogers, Dorothy McGuire and Sylvia Sidney Others were found in retirement or obscurity by Watters and Horst. A surprising number live in the Santa Barbara, Calif., area But practically all retain their oldtime beauty at least through Horst's expert lens. Mary Astor, Humphrey Bogart’s co-star in The Matlese Falcon, lives at the Motion Picture Country House in the San Fernando Valley. “But I am not on charity, I pay my way,” she said She has suffered a heart attack and two strokes but can still sit in a yoga position at 78. Evelyn Venable, 71, sweet-faced leading lady of the 1930s, resides in suburban Brentwood with 18 cats and thousands of books. Widow of cameraman Hal Mohr, she taught at UCLA after her acting career ended. “My students never heard of Evelyn Venable,” she said Gale Sondergaard, 85, first winner of the supporting actress Academy Award in 1935 for Anthony Adverse district of Los Angeles. Victim of the studio blacklist, she bears no bitterness about the 20 years she was unable to work in films. “I personally have put the blacklist behind me,” she said. Annabella, wife and co-star of Tyrone Power, has a home in Paris and a farm at Biarritz but often visits the U.S. Now 75, she never remarried and still reveres the memory of Power. “We were always friendly to the end,” she said. Vera Hurba Ralston, the Czech ice skater who became the portege and wife of Republic pictures boss Herbert J. Yates, lives with her second husband, Charles Alva, in an estate on the Santa Barbara coast. Still athletic at 63, she said: “I never felt so good in my life as I do now.” Greta Nissen, 73, resides with husband Stuard Eckert on a huge ranch near President Ronald Reagan's in the Santa -Ynex mountains north of Senta Barbara.

She said about Grant: “Cary was always married to his career.” pare away the PQ’s slim majority in the 122-seat national is serious. “No one knows if we even have a government or what its makeup is,” he said. “With this convention hanging over their heads, nothing will ever get done,” said Max Polak, the Liberal member for Ste-Anne riding. He said legislation is already being postponed The resignation of cabinet ministers left some Quebec government departments fielding queries from officials and contractors concerned about future projects. FIELDS QUERIES “It wasn't your typically quiet Friday,” said Andre Bellerose, executive assistant to just-resigned transport minister Leonard. Bellerose said some officials and road contractors “were even worried about the status of their negotiations with the department concerning snow-clear ing contracts.” Municipal officials and road contractors were told all agreements would be honored and that contract talks would proceed on schedule Meanwhile, Radio-Canada reported that a survey or PQ riding associations showed a slim majority of party members disagree with Levesque's proposal to shunt sovereignty aside. ‘The French-language network of the CBC said 53 per cent of respondents in its survey disagreed with Leves que’s stand, while 62 per cent believed he should produce a compromise agreement which would satisfy both wings of the party. town Hudson in Dynasty MAPLE LEAF TRAVEL PLANNING A HOLIDAY?

The 84 service jobs, a 23-per-cent national respected agency almost use- less, says a senior B.C. staff member. “CWS has been gutted,” said research scientist Eoin McEwan, who has been fired after 86 years with the fed- eral agency. “It's the end of a whole outfit overnight. “This is not just a bunch of people being let go. CWS will now be useless, it will never be respected. You can’t man age wildlife without re search.

The link will provide two way voice and visual com munication between the court and lawyers in major centres across Canada, and is expected to save consider able time and money for law yers and clients. The Canadian Bar Associ ation estimates a total of about $750,000 is spent each year on travel and associated costs for lawyers to travel to Ottawa to state their case. The satellite hook-up is to start in February and will affect only applications for permission to appeal a lower. court ruling before the Su preme Court, Canada's high est court. Arguments for the appeal itself will still be heard in person The court hears about 500 leave applications yearly, and usually agrees to proceed with about 100 of them, says Mark Newman, executive assistant to Chief Justice Brian Dickson. “There probably is still a perception among some members of the that, ‘No, I want to be there. I want to see a judge, I want to see every blink of his eyes, every twitch of his lip, and that's critical,” Newman told more than 200 people at- tending the Canadian Satel- lite User Conference in Ot- tawa. Bryan Williams, treasurer for the Canadian Bar Asso- ciation, says the “being there” argument makes sense when one is talking about a trial, where the cli. ent’s presence could influ- ence the judge or where facts must be explained several times.
