and an “intolerable monstros
ity.”
The statement was in the
form of a majority report ap
proved after two hours of de
bate and after a softer worded
minority report was defeated
534-405. The majority report
carried by a show of hands.
The majority report urged
immediate steps to free pris
oners of war and called for
withdrawal of all American
troops and a cutoff of funds for
the war by Congress no later
than Dec. 31, 1972.
The resolution also called on
the U.S. to cease all efforts to
control the results of a politi
cal settlement, leaving such ne-
gotiations to the Vietnamese.
“It is time we speak out with
firmness and directness for our
own responsibility for the war
in Southeast Asia,” said Rev.
Sanders
was bored
with life
“I am bored...l have lived
long enough”
BARCELONA, Spain (UPI)—
Actor George Sanders commit
ted suicide Tuesday, leaving as
his legacy a brief note that
personified his many movie
roles as a suave and cynical
cad.
“Dear World,” he wrote. “I
am leaving because I am
bored. I feel I have lived long
enough. I am leaving you with
your worries in this sweet
cesspool—good luck.”
Sanders, 65, was found dead
in his suite in a resort hotel at
Castelldefels. Police said five
empty tubes of Nembutal, a
sedative, were found beside the
Russian-born actor’s nude body.
A second note, written in
Spanish, asked the finder to
telephone his sister in London
and said there was enough cash
in his pockets to “pay the hotel
bill and for the funeral.”
Assistant hotel Manager Juan
Carbonell said about $1,500 in
Spanish pesetas were found in
his suite.
The six-foot, three-inch San
ders, a British national, had
been married four times—for
five years to Zsa Zsa Gabor
and later to her sister, Magda,
for two months.
Zsa Zsa said in Hollywood
she was heartbroken by his
death.
“He was the major love of
my life,” she said. “I saw
George only two weeks ago in
Spain. He was all right then
and looking for a new house. I
am terribly depressed at this
awful news.”
Sanders had checked into the
hotel two days earlier and
Carbonell, who discovered the
body when he was unable to get
an answer from the suite by
telephone, said the actor had
been drinking heavily. Sanders
had been scheduled to fly to
Nice, France, Tuesday and
asked that he be awakened
early.
Sanders played in such
movies as “Picture of Dorian
Gray,” “Forever Amber,”
“Call me Madam,” “Rebecca”
and won an Oscar in “All About
Eve.” In most of his roles he
portrayed a blase lover and
cynic and his autobiography
was entitled “Memoirs of a
Professional Cad.”
Richard Tholins, a seminary
professor from Naperville, 111.,
who wrote the majority report.
Rev. Robert Young of Dur
ham, N.C., called the Vietnam
conflict “dehumanizing, demor
alizing and debilitating” and a
war that goes “on and on and
on.”
“It might mean we will not
win with honor but withdraw
with dignity,” Young said. “We
might have to repent—to beg
forgiveness of God and the Viet
namese people. We might have
to say we were wrong.”
But Kenneth Cooper of Bay
Minette, Ala., is appealing for
the softer minority report, said
it was wrong to indict the Pres
ident and the nation’s leaders
as “war criminals.” He said in
stead the church should offer
“a vote of confidence for our
nation and the many thousands
of Americans and Vietnamese
who gave their lives for a
cause.”

Philippines, the only non-Ameri-

can speaking for the minority
report, said he considered the
U.S. war effort in Vietnam a
“demonstration of your coun
try’s capacity, honesty and
courage in honoring its commit
ment to a nation unable to pro
tect itself.”
The delegates approved with
out debate a resolution urging
economic sanctions against
companies doing business with
apartheid South Africa.
Cosmetics supplied
PARIS (UPI)-As of May 1
women in French prisons will
be able to buy lipstick, eye
makeup and other cosmetics.
The prison administration
said “beauty care has become
a normal thing for women. To
deny women the use of makeup
during their detention may led
to personal neglect to say
nothing of the psychological
effects this privation may
have.”

More Irving suits filed
NEW YORK (UPI)-Two
more law suits for huge sums
were filed Tuesday in connec
tion with author Clifford Irving
and his publisher, McGraw-Hill
Inc.
One $7 million suit charging
libel was filed in Manhattan
Supreme Court against Irving
and the publisher by an art
dealer who alleged he was
defamed in the Irving-written
book, “Fake!” Also in the same
court, McGraw-Hill itself filed a
$939,908.32 suit against re
searcher Richard R. Suskind in
an effort to recoup the near $1
million loss in the Howard
Hughes autobiography hoax.
The art dealer, Real Lessard,
a Canadian citizen now study
ing law in France, said there
were at least 23 false and
defamatory statements about
him in the book “Fake!”
Lessard’s suit charged that
snee September of 1969 Mc-
Graw-Hill has sold the book by
Irving which claims that
Lessard conspired with admit
ted art forger Elmyr DeHory to
paint and sell forgeries.
The McGraw-Hill suit against
Suskind, a resident of Spain,
— Griffin Daily News Wednesday, April 26, 1972
asks the stipulated sum to
match the money it paid
Suskind and Irving for the
billionaire’s life story and the
cost of preparing the book for
publication.
