HOLLYWOOD~-(CP) — Comed- fen George Gobel said Tuesday he is not harboring any grudge azainst Canadians because of

What “he descriged as an unfor- tunate experience at the Cana- di2n National Exhibition in Tor-

’ onto last September, —

“I have ‘considered this. a closed incident for somé time,” Gobel! said:

“I like Canadians and.I like Canada and-I certainly would be happy to play up there again— anytime they want me,” he added.

“Providing the money is right,” said the comedian’s manager, David O'Malley.

Gobel said he was “‘a focal point of a political wrangle ihat I never really understood.”

Gobel was paid $50,000 for a 16-day appearance at the exhibi- tion. He said some_newspapers in Toronto carried headlines asking why the CNE didn’t hire a Cara- dian instead of a Hollywood

. He said Jack Arthur, producer .@f the grandstand show, shoved a note under his door asking that he delete the words “hell” and “damn” from the script.

ODD MANNER “I did delete them,” Gobel said, “but that was certainly an odd

way to request it.”

The members of the Kingsboro

wood in September, Gobel told Mirror-News writer Lee Belser in an interview published Sept.’ 17:

“I still don’t know what it was all about. They started criticiz- ing me in the newspapers. People shoved notes under my door and politicians used me as a football.

“At first» I thought I had dropped a bomb as an ‘entertainer. I thought maybe the people were going to stone me.

‘But then when I found out that it wasn’t the end of the world or|of the end of my eareer and people started. being nice to me,’ things weren't so bad." w

Gobel said Tuesday, “I never experienced anything like it. But I don’t want to blame anybody.”

In Toronto, Mr. Arthur said he sent a memo to Gobel asking that the word “damn” be dropped from the act. An assistant had slipped it under the comedian’s hotel room door.

“I had a huge cast to worry about,’’;Mr. Arthur said. ‘I'd. like to be able to deal all.the time on a person-to-person basis but it’s just not possible.

Hiram McCallum,.general man- ager of the CNE, commented: “George was treated rather shab- bily. He didn’t quite come up to

my expectations but that may have béen because of the peculiar
