' At Venice part of Los Angeles lifeguards Sunday saw a small blue, shark off the Beach, and 2,000 swimmers fled the water. Attempts to harpoon the shark failed. At Long Beach a Coast Guard air patrol crew spotted 0 15-foot long shark 400 yards off the crowded strand Sunday. Swim mers were warned, and a power cruiser equipped with a harpoon was sent to the area. However, the shark was not found. A fishing boat to the south off San Clemente netted a 235-pound killer white shark Saturday. The Civil Air Patrol maintained a watch along the San Diego-La Jolla beachfront, concentrating on the area where skin diver Rouert L. Pamperin, 33, was killed by a 20-foot long sharkeight days ago. Mother Of Four Gives Birth To Quadruplets GLASGOW (UPD Mrs. Jean Cole, 32-year-old wife of a plum ber, gave birth to quadruplets Sunday two boys and two girls.

The Coles have been living in a one-room $5 a week apartment in a municipal housing project. The town council said it would find the family larger quarters. Observer, La Grande, Ore., Mon., June 22, 1959 Page 4 THE "MOST LOVING' KIND OF PK3' Al Capp Insulted By Choice For li'l Abner Pig By VERNON SCOTT UPI Staff Writer HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Madcap cartoonist Al Capp landed in movie town this week threatening to close down the film version of his "Li'l Abner" comic strip in a ruckus over a pig. "They're not going to get away with this outrage," he railed, re ferring to producers Mel Frank and Norman Panama. "I let 'em alone when they cast the human beings for the picture but they've absolutely ruined everything by hiring a typically phony Hollywood pig to play 'Sa lomoy.' I won't stand for it. "Imagine," he stormed, "a jad ed method-acting Hollywood pig with a fast-talking agent who will probably show up for work in a chic sports car. And from what I hear, this big ham is only doing the picture as a tax loss. If that isn't going whole hog, I'll roast this imposter with an apple in its mouth." Describes Hammus Alabamus Capp's face softened momentar ily as he described "Salomey." "She's a hammus alabamus," he explained. "The most loving kind of pig in the world. She's sweet and innocent. 'Salomey' has been close to 'my heart for 25 years ever since I started drawing the strip.

"Unless Panama and Frank find a genuine hammus alabamus I'll close down the picture. They're not toing to defile public opinion of 'Salomey.' I'll see" that no expense is spared." ' Mel' Frank, a patient man, threw up' his arms in anger. "We got this pig from the pig actors guild," he announced. ," Aft er all it's only a bit part -4 the kind you usually give to a, rela tive. -1 "In Hollywood a tree is a tree and a pig is a pig. Capp should know these things before he starts hollering about casting 'Salomey.' If necessary we'll take this fight into arbitration." ' Frank was joined ,by partner Panama who , reported, "There isn't a single hammus alabamus in the state of California. I don't know if they exist anywhere in the world." "You're not trying," Capp said accusingly, "have you looked In Secaucus, N.J.? They've got a lot ta pigs in that part or the coun try." I The producing team tried to soothe Capp with' promises of finding a pig to please the car toonist. "Swine!" Capp' replied. "Cast ing an ordinary pig in this role would be like Mickey Rooney playing the life story of Albert Schweitzer. Audiences would nev er accept anything but a genuine hammus1 alabamus as 'Salomey'," Among Valley Farmers . ' ' 1 , . V I I J By County Agents Ted Sidor and Charles Gavin One of the problems confront ing forestry owners is the tax situation. We have read the var ious bills presented to the legis lature and the following,, 'com ment by R. F. Keniston pretty well sums up what a number of forestry owners are thinking: , '"One factor that reduced the possibility of passage of legisla cst tax legislation was the : obv ious over-concern of this legisla ture with reducing expenditures and by-passing any obvious ;ways 01 increasing revenues such as taxes on liquor and tobacco or the controversial sales tax., Be I nil log It made up from inrormeiion ny leievmon siingni accuracy cannot b guaranteed cy the La Grande Evening Obierver. Wagon Train Camps In Desert Fever Strike Mqn KEMMERER, Wyo. (UPD The Oregon Centennial pioneers! took it easy Sunday beneath the shade of cottonwood trees at their camp on the banks of the Green .river in the Little Colorado Desert about 40 miles from here. ' George Kolzow, manager of the Hiltsboro Chamber of Commerce, arrived at the camp about ' noon after a trip from Oregon and presented 30 pounds of strawber ries from the George Allison farm of Sherwood and some pastry. The oldest member of the wag on train, 66-yenr-old Weaver Clark of Hillsboro, was stricken with a mild attack of tick fever, the Fifty-niners reported Sunday. He was taken to a hospital in Kemmerer, given an injection and medicine and returned to the camp and put in isolation on one of the wagons for a' few days. Also Sunday, the Cavalcade lost its second passenger so far. Low ell Blair, 62, Sheridan, left for home to be with bis wife, Edna, who was forced to return home a week ago due to an acute asth matic condition. The seven covered wagons have been on the trail for 66 days now. sides these possibly political con siderations by the legislators, the chief factory in the failure of the legislature to enact constructive legislation to solve' forest proper ly tax problems'1 was probably the fact that forest owners (and the foresters representing them or the public) ' couldn't agree among' themselves as to what is desirable. Forest industries who nake their profit from the pro duction and sale of a manufactur ed product do not have the same point of view as the independent and small forest owners who must make their profit (if any) from the growing and sale of primary forest products such as stumpage or logs 6r bolts. Even the indus trial owners couldn't agree be cause of their different individ ual situations. .' ' "One thing that might, help in the future in pushing any con structive tax .legislation fair to small and independent .forest owners would be a little more or ganization, so that such owners could speak with a united voice strong enough to be heard by the legislators. The various coun ty farm forestry associations and county farm forestry commit tees might be a good basis for such organization.!' , .j , '- Pigeon Loses Way; Looking For Owner Anyone lose a pigeon? ; 1 vr A gift from out of the blue dropped into the1 yard of Mrs. Lawrence Greinet1 yesterday.
