Apart from Ufa, which has a separate agreement with klangfilm, all German producers depend on Tobis, which is charged with taking advantage of its patents to claim a number of unbearable license fees and royalties from the industry. Since the theaters have arrived at the end of their capacity due to the falling off trade and unemployment, while the producers have to shoulder the sound expenses and are not in a position to lower rental fees, the appeal to the government was deemed advisable. The Federal Ministry of Economy takes the view that the evolution of any monopolistic conditions in a realm as important as that of the motion picture requires official influence and therefore the Ministry has invited representatives of Tobis, Klangfilm, producers and exhibitors for a mutual discussion. Public Relations Post For Akerson With Para. George Akerson, who has resigned as President Hoover's secretary to join Paramount, will do public relations work for the company at a reported annual salary of $30,000. Adolph Zukor, in announcing the engagement of Akerson, said: "With the consent of the President we have invited George Akerson to join the executive staff of this company and he has accepted. "I have known Mr. Akerson for a number of years and feej that his coming to our company adds a splendid example of man power to the motion picture industry."
