Conceived by Saunders and drawn by his partner Ken Ernst, the take-off on Capp seemed to contain too many dirty digs to be just good clean fun. When Mary Worth pays a visit to the summer home of "Comic Strip Artist Hal Rapp," he proves a coarse cad. "Hey! Who's this old biddy?" he demands. "I was expecting somebody younger! Get the idea?" Soon he is hurling a glass of booze (poured into a tumbler decorated with a Capp-created Shmoo) at one of the peons who turns out his strip Big Abe on the assembly line...
...Capp at last getting his comeuppance? What did he think of the Saunders-Ernst treatment? Said he: "Unpardonable slander. Something disgraceful, humiliating." Then Capp took his tongue out of his cheek and exposed the feud (sob!) as a hoax. He and Saunders cooked it up last fall in Washington at a meeting of the cartooning clan ("a pretty damn dull profession"). Rapp will go on taking raps for a few weeks until, says Capp, Saunders "casually reveals at the end that I'm not a monster."

...investigators are dictator-hating New Dealer Morris L. Ernst, who has spent most of his career as a pugnacious battler for civil rights, and Republican William H.

The sudden switch appeared to be a belated attempt to end a storm of bad publicity. But, even in the agreement with Ernst & Co., there is an escape clause. If the attorneys break the contract "for failure of cooperation," they will "preserve professional confidence and refrain from issuing any report...
Died. Dr. Louis Ernst Schmidt, 88, famed urologist and longtime crusty critic of the American Medical Association; after long illness; in Wausau, Wis. A sharp-tongued crusader, Dr. Schmidt was a dedicated foe of the nice-Nelliness that long hampered treatment of venereal disease, set up the first genitourinary clinic west of the Alleghenies. When he accepted support from an organization that advertised publicly, he was charged by the A.M.A. with unethical conduct and was expelled (1930). He countered bitterly that organized medicine was against low-priced medical care, was backed by half a dozen other medical societies, eventually...
