O'dodtSpsdal Revoltin' Development Weds (Ugh) Li'lAbner To (Sob) Daisy Mae After It suipnieful years during which time millions of readers of LI'I Abnrr have been asking, Imploring, demanding, threatening, Al t'app with the question, "Will Abnrr ever marry Daisy Mae?" the rreat event takes place. Cartoonist Capp, In the current Issue of Life tells his vast audience why "It's hideously true." "This time It's the real thing," writes Capp. "Yes, after 11 years the poor lout It finally, hopelessly married, and In one of Marryln' Sam's cheapest, most humiliating weddings . . "It was wonderful while It lasted; and I had no reason for marrying Abner off to Daisy Mae. But then something happened that threatens to shackle me and my kind of comic strip. It Is what I call the gradual loss of our fifth freedom. Without It, the other four freedoms aren't much fun, because the fifth I the freedom to laugh at each other. "My kind of comic strip finds Its fun wherever there Is lunacy, and American life Is rich In lunacy everywhere you look. I created labor-hating labor leaders, money-foolish finan ciers, and Hen. Jack 8. ("Good old Jack 8.") Phogbound, Race hate peddlers gave me some of my Juiciest comedy characters, and I had the Yokums tell them what I know Is true, that all races are God's children, equally beloved by their Father. For the first 14 years I reveled In the freedom to laugh at Amer ica. But now America has changed. The humorist feels the change more, perhaps, than anyone. Now there are things about America we can't kid. "I realized It first when four years ago I created the Shmoo . . a totally boneless and wildly affectionate little animal . . There were tome disturbing letters . . Then I created the Kigmy, an animal that loved to be kicked around, thus making ll unnecessary for people to kick each other around. This time a lot more letters came . . angrier, more insplcious . , I was astounded to find it had become unpopular to laugh at any fellow Americans. In fact, when I looked around, I realized that a new kind of humorist had taken over, tbe humorist who kidded nothinr but himself . . "So that was when I decided to go back to fairy tales until the atmosphere is gone. That is the real reason why Li'l Abner married Daisy Mae. At least for the time being, I can't create any more Sehmoos, any more Kigmies; and when Senator Phogbound turns up now, I have to explain carefully that, heavens-to-Beisy, goodness-no, he's not typical; nobody like that ever holds public office. After a decade and a half of using my characters as merely reasons to swing my searchlight on America, I began all over again to examine them, at people. Frankly. I was delighted with them. I became reacqualnted with LI'I Abner at a human being, with Daisy Mae at an aronlilngly frustrated glrL I began to wonder myself what It would be like if they were ever married. Tbe more I thought about it, the more complicated and disastrous and, therefore. Irresistible, the idea became . . "Do they (LIT Abner and Daisy Mae) live happily forever after like other people, or it this Just the beginning of even more complicated disasters, more unbearable miseries? They are married, all right. But if yon think the future Is serene for them, you're ("Haw! Haw'.") living in a fool't paradise."

Jointly owned by Klamath Camp Fire Girls and Girl Aides Claim Ike To Leave SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, Allied Powers in Europe (A Among allied officers at SHAPE there is little doubt that their bass. Gen. Eisenhower, will submit his resignation shortly after his an nual report Is published next Wednesday. The general himself has said nothing of the sort. But staff offi cers believe he would like to leave here sometime during the last two weeks of May. after the Oregon presidential primary. To depart at that time, he likely would write his resignation letter to President Truman probably to be sub mlted through Defense Secretary Lovett at least a month before he leaves. It would take that long for the res lunation to be anuroveri by the 4 nations contributing to his allied command, and to set their approval for a successor.

Last Monday, however, the gov ernment removed credit restric tions on state and local bond Issues. Applegate Scouts, has two buildings and Bos ley said the second structure, the big lodge, was also endangered by deep roof snow.

The men will have to use snow shoes for the nine and one-half mile distance from Rocky Point Junction to the lake. C. M. Gil more, president of the Home Own ers Association, said the snow now measured 61 Inches at the lodge and was eight feet deep on the snow course. The snow has a 37 per cent water content, making it unusaully heavy. Mrs. Naomi French, director of Klamath Camp Fire Girls, said the collapsed 20x60 recreation building contained a piano, two boats, a canoe and incidental furnishings. She could make no estimate of the probable loss but said It was a "terrible blow for the girls."
