Gov. Sanders In Speech ‘State Of State is ' By ED ROGERS United Pres. International ATANTA (UPI)-Gov.

Sanders pointed to an unem ployment figure of only 1.4 per eent — the lowest in the his tory of Georgia and among the lowest in the nation — an in crease in sale of agricultural products of nearly $1 billion, construction of more than $1 billion last year, an increase in personal income of $1.5 billion during the three years of his administration and the chance that he will leave a surplus to bis successor of between $40 and $6o million. “Never before has such a record of achievement and progress been written on the enduring leaves of Georgia’s bistory," the governor said In congratulating the legislature -SSIS yssmm Oiic-- RIP s : |. fit *£*/*< li - Wll ill m i ■ 'Sfk .. ft* % 4 ~ y £3 ■ % ''-4 4# v. - #:■ If % ,, 1 mmmii \ — Wk - ifspi m & WBk 4 i A ; m-o \ •> m v-.^r \ f. . 3 # 4 X 4 «»**-*“• ■ V : .

Sanders for “a true and working part nership between the legisla tive and executive branches of government.” To Spend $18 million He called on the legislature for supplemental appropriations of $18,555,000 “to meet the con tinuing needs of the citizens of Georgia" of which more than $6 million would go to public schools, colleges and unlver- He also asked $4,475,000 for two new regional mental health hospitals, with a total of 850 beds, and for staffing and operating two existing fa cilities, with a total of 1,200 beds, at Thomasville and Bain bridge.

I refer to crime control. Georgia truly is a ’big league’ state today In many ways, and has therefore become more attractive to or ganized crime. “We now have major league football and baseball fran chises, and it is our vigilant duty to take all steps necessary to keep the corrupting influence of syndicated criminal activity out of Georgia. “This administration will in duce measures to discourage any attempt at establishing syndicated gambling operations in Georgia, and will do all else that it can to supress and eradicate crime of any kind in Georgia.** ha conclusion Sanders noted that the 1966 legislature has an Millions Saddened Shastri’s Death By JOHN BARTON United Press International NEW DELHI (UFI) —India’s saddened millions today re ceived the body of Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri, man of the people whose final hours were spent in pursuit of peace for a nation which has seen little but hardship and war. A crowd estimated at 30,000 thronged New Delhi Airport for the arrival of a Soviet ms propjet plane which returned Shastri’s body from Tashkent, U.S.S.R., where he succumbed earlier today of a heart attack. Receiving the body of the 61 year-old Prime Minister were Indian President Dr. S. Rad hakrlshnan and Shastri’s eldest son, Hari Krishnan. It was placed on an open gun carriage flanked by six generals as the vast crowd, many weeping and others shouting “Long live Shastri,” pressed forward for final glimpse of the dlmunitlve statesman. The late afternoon sun cast sharp shadows across the airport as the crowd strained to catch a glimpse of the tiny figure with its familiar Ghandi style white hat. Greatest Accomplishments Shastri’s face appeared ser ene in death, reflecting the diplomatic triumph of Tash kent, where he signed a historic peace pact with Pakistani President Mohammed Ayub Khan just 12 hours before he was stricken. The accord stipulated India and Pakistan would renounce the use of military force to resolve their decades-old border dispute over Kashmir which twice erupted into undeclared war. The funeral procession moved slowly along a seven-mile route to Shastri’s residence at 10 Janpath, where the body was to lie in state overnight. It will be cremated in Hindu rites Wednesday near Shantl Vana —the Woodland of Peace on the banks of the Jumna River. It was here that Shastri’s predecessor—Jaawa harlal Nehru—was cremated 18 months ago before Shastri was sworn in to succeed him. En route to New Delhi by jet airliner for the funeral were ranking government officials from throughout the world, including Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former U.8. Ambassadors to India John Kenneth Galbraith and Sen. John Sherman Cooper, R Ky. They are the official representatives of President Johnson. Kosygin Present Soviet Premier Alexei Kosy gin, who arranged the historic Tashkent summit between Shastri and Ayub Khan, led the Russian delegation which trav eled aboard a separate plane from Soviet Asia. Ayub Khan, whose nation long has been involved in bloody conflict with India since both were granted indepen dence from Britain in 1947, named a three-man delegation to represent him in New Delhi. He praised Shastri as a man ; of “sincerity and dedication” and said, “We have laid a promising beginning in Tash kent." Two days of publte mourning were decreed and black bordered newspapers reported details of Shastri’s death alongside reports of his major opportunity that perhaps no other in modem times has been afforded: “That is, eliminating —once and for all — any divi sion between urban and rural representation, ana establishing forever the fact that we are one state, and that you repre sent one Georgia." Sanders sprinkled his un usually optimistic State of the State message with figures on progress made during the last three years of his administra tion, an emphasis possibly not lost on those who expect the young chief executive to toss his hat into the ring against Richard Russell for the U. S. Senate. "Our works are seeds sown in the fertile soil of Georgia to grow and be harvested for years to come,” he said. “Our stewardship — yours and mine — will not be Judged solely by changes we make in our state, but by those changes which make our state what it ought to be. “The strides we have helped Georgia make are many, and the enthusiastic achievements of our people, from one end of Georgia to the other, are truly accomplishments at Tashkent, Shastri, who had been in frail health since becoming leader of the world’s second most populous nation on June 9, 1964, had suffered two previous heart attacks during recent years. Nanda Sworn In Home Affairs Minister Gulza rilal Nanda, 67, was sworn in earlier today as interim Prime Minister, a sorrowful task he undertook once before on the death of Nehru. There was a possibility Nanda would be named officially to succeed Shastri later this week when r :• .

He said the number of college students in Georgia has already increased by 50 per cent and graduate and professional en rollment has increased by 135 per cent. He said that by next January, more than 6,000 class rooms will have been financed for the state public school sys tem, and $162 million worth of college construction. ruling Congress party meets to elect the now Prime Minister. Radhakrishnan told a griev ing nation in a radio broadcast late today Shastri would be honored posthumously with India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, jewel of India. He said sadly he had planned to announce the award on Shastri’s return from Tashkent for his meritorious work in the cause of peace.
