FOSTER By Wilson Scruggs WILLIAM EWALD SAYS: Recording Artists Swear Allegiance To By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Staff Writ.r NEW YORK i UPI i "You don't know how I'm looking forward to my return," said Our Leader Wednesday, I'm talking, of course, ubout our real leader Klvis. Elvis was just one of a congest of liege lords who gathered Wednesday via recorded mes sages to report to their teen age vassals and, in turn, swear allegiance to their master, ABC TV's Dick Clark. The occasion was the second anniversary of Clark's American liandslaad, a record hop 'JO minutes long and 120 stations wide which ranks as one of the most powerful enclaves within these United States. There is between Clark and his teen-age subjects an affinity somewhat comparable to that be tween mosquitoes and blood. I am not quite sure who feasts uoon whom, but the attraction is un doubtedly there and it has cat-a pulted Clark into the position of perhaps the most powerful deejay in the nation Wednesday afternoon, the na tion's singing stars taking note of the birthday celebration wa terfalled Clark under with tele grams. There were billets-doux-or-die from Jimmie Kodgers, Fats Domino, the Kingston Trio, Tom my Sands, Johnny Mathis, Con nie Francis, Bobby Darrin, Tony Bennett, the Four Aces, Debbie Reynolds, the Platters, Patti Page and just about everyone in the Madame Tussaud's There was an in-person appear ance by Annette Funicello, who, like Fabian, Elvis and Shake speare, has reached such a heady estate in the world that she is now referred to by a single name Annette. And there were beeper conservations with such chieftains as Duane Eddy, Paul Anka, Fa bian, Frankie Avalon, Edward Byrnes and, of course, Elvis. However, the highlight of the show may have been a telegram sent to Clark by Edward Byrnes, known affectionately, but some what eccentrically as "Kookie." I was too astounded to get it all down, but I seem to recall phrases like "like your Bandstand is a big two years . .like this whole scene is a wig' and it was signed "The Ginchiest" Well, like, dad, I don't know. But like happy birthday from me. too. And the Ginchiest. At least I think so.

French-Born Women Think Cop's A Prude NEWPORT BEACH, Calif, i UPI i Two French-born beauties complaining their arresting officer was "perhaps a prude," each paid $25 fines Wednesday for wearing only the bottom halves of their bikini swim suits on a public beach. - Aurelie' la Mar, 34, and Ilena Rovira, 32, charged with outrag ing the public decency, insisted they could see nothing wrong with soaking up a little sun with as much of their bodies as possible. It is done all the time at French beaches, complained the women. Anyway, they said, they had merely untied the straps to the tops of their bikinis while, lying on their stomach so they could get evenly tanned across the shoulders But Police Sgt. Gerald Irwin disagreed. He said he watched through binoculars for 30 minutes while the women were lying on the beach after their neighbors, Mr and Mrs. Lawrence Kelly, complained. Irwin said at one point during his observation he saw Miss Ro vira clean her sun glasses with the top of her suit while, lying on her back. And, he observed, both women were evenly tanned at spots women usually aren't. "Alors,'' said Miss La Mar, "seeing us and being a man, he must perhaps be a prude to ar rest us."

They decided the audiences are sicker than the sickniks. "It's a cult that's grown up in a few big cities," Dick Martin suggested. "Most of the sick com edians depend on the same people returning night after night to hear their gags. The nightclubbers who follow them around are real ad dicts." "The sick ones would never be popular on television," Dan Ro wan said. "Their material is too far out." 'That's why they're popular in clubs," Dick said. "They can get away with controversial and spicy jokes with a limited audience and use terms the average televiewer doesn't comprehend. , Audience Doesn't Understand "They never get a laugh in real joints because the audience doesn't know what they're talking about. The comedy team, who appear in movies, TV and clubs, have no "sick" routines themselves, but study the off beat competition closely. 'Sophisticates or pseudo so phisticates a.e flattered by the sickniks because the comedians throw around psychological terms and other words that aren't usual ly identified with entertainers," said Dan. 'But even without censorship. mass audiences would never dig the humor. In fact, most of the country would be offended by the new group." Sickniks Named Among the sickniks named by the boys were Lenny Bruce, Don Rickles, Shelley Berman and Tom Lehrer.

"Their jokes are based on trag edy," Rowan went on, "Death, ill-, nere. religion and such things as lynchings make up -the subject matter. "Shock value is what they're looking for. And as audiences be come more and more difficult to shock, their jokes keep getting -more and more sick. The laughs they get are usually somewhat i nervous." Rowan and Maioin, who soon move into the famed Cocoanut Grove, insist the sickniks must play small, intimate rooms to be successful. Comedians Watch Them "Comedians like to watch the sick ones perform," Dick said. "Most comedians would love to get away with some of their rou tines, but television is so closely censored comedians are limited to old. dull stuff." "Right," Dan agreed. "You cai't hope to be a success on TV unless you're really mediocre. There are so many taboos by pressure groups and siwnsors we have to stay with bland, innocu ous material. "I wish I had a dollar for every person who has come up to us after our nightclub act and asked why we aren't as funny on TV." "It's not that we use off-color jokes in clubs," Dick concluded, "But we can mention a product or controversial subject without having to worry about ad agency guys or network big shots. That's something the sicknicks never have to put up with."
