Sanders Offers
To Leave State
During Session
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former
Gov. Carl Sanders said today ,
he would “leave the state for
the next few weeks” if neces
sary to keep out of Gov. Lester
Maddox’s special session.
Sanders denied charges by
Maddox that he had interfered
i with the present governor’s tax
program. Maddox charged San
ders with “wrecking” the pro
. gram by asking legislators not
■ to vote for it.
“I am astounded and amazed
, that the governor, even before
he presents his program to the
legislature, starts giving me
. credit for wrecking his pro
i gram,” Sanders said. “I don’t
even know the specifics of his
program.
“I have never tried to per
suade any member of the legis
lature to vote for or against any
bill or measure which Governor
Maddox presented, and I have
’ certainly not done so now be
cause I am not nrlvy to what
he is going to say.”
Sanders said he was a “pri
-1 vate citizen” and would have
’ nothing to do with the session.
“If it would ease h1 s mind
! and satisfy his concern, I would
■ be more than happy to leave
the state for the next few weeks
- so he won’t be laboring under
1 any concern or misapprehen
sion about me.”
