BEAT MUSIC IN BRITAIN APPEARS TO BE FADING

By RAYMOND E. PALMER LONDON {AP}... Beat mu- gic, one of Britain’s biggest exports in the last five years, appears to be fading.

A company which turned out 120,000 plastic ‘‘Beatles”’ gui- tars at the height of the beat boom reports a shock slump in profits, a cut in its dividend and a reshuffle of its top brass.

The firm, Musical and Plas- tic Industries Ltd., is Britain's biggest seller of musical in- ‘struments. Its shares on the London Stock Exchange @lumped to the equivalent of the 52 cents from 786 cents when it ‘announced profits for the first half of this year were $378,000 against $660,000 in the 1964 period.

The No. 1 song in the: Brit- ish hit parade for the last five

weeks has been a 1930-ish bal- lad called Tears sung by comedian Ken Dodd. He will e@ppear at this year's royal

command variety show before the Queen, Nov. 8.

The Beatles appeared in the royal command show last year and the year before. This year they have been dropped.

The one concession to the beat scene in the royal show appears to be the inclusion of the Dave Clark Five—which is not the most beat of the beat groups. Their hair is shorter for one thing.

Even the beat music shows on British television are going in for more ballad-type musie and more staging of dance routines instead of a steady stream of long-haired guitar players,

‘ A number of the beat group managements who have made their fortunes during the boom are forming new groups and grooming them for possible success in other musical fields. They’re not sure what the next pop music trend will be but they want to be on

HOPES FOR PACT

He said he hoped some kind of “sensible arrangement” can be worked out with United States wildlife authorities.

Mr. Frost dedicated the sta- tion’s park area to Frank H. Kortright, one of Ontario's lead- ing wildlife authorities and con- servationists.
