DEDICATES PLAQUE
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI)-Lady
Bird Johnson, wife of the
former president, who has
spent the profits from her book
“A White House Diary” for a
tree-planting beautification in
Austin, dedicated a bronze
plaque Wednesday marking the
project’s start.
“My philosophy of beautifica
tion is summed up in two words
—use and maintenance. Use it
so you can enjoy it, and
maintenance so the youngest
one of you can enjoy it when
you grow up,” the former First
Lady told a gathering of about
250 persons gathered here for
the ceremonies.

Sharpe dead at 39;
ex-Maddox aide
LYONS, Ga. (UPI) — T. Malone Sharpe, former chief of
staff to Gov. Lester Maddox and prominently mentioned
in 1969 as a candidate for lieutenant governor, died
Wednesday at the age of 39.
Sharpe withdrew his name from speculation in an
emotional press conference in November, 1969, at which
he disclosed he was suffering from a malignancy of the
lymph glands in his neck. The illness apparently caused
his death.
Sharpe had served as an aide to former Lt. Govs. Peter
Zack Geer and Garland Byrd and was campaign manager
for Marvin Griffin in the 1962 gubernatorial race.
He served as mayor of this city of 3,500, winning re
election last February. A lawyer, Sharpe was a former
Junior Chamber of Commerce “Young Man of the Year”
in Georgia.
Friends said Sharpe collapsed at his farm and died
shortly after being rushed to a hospital at Vidalia.
Survivors include two daughters. Funeral services were
pending.

The new gun bill, sponsored
by Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind.,
faces an uphill struggle in the
House, and President Nixon’s
views on the measure are not
known.
But it cleared the Senate with
surprising ease on a 68 to 25
roll call vote preceded by a
only a half-hearted attempt to
dillute the measure.
Democratic presidential can
didate George C. McGovern,
who had voted against earlier
gun registration and confisca-
tion proposals, backed the Bayh
bill.
The measure, if enacted,
would remove an estimated 1
million small, cheap and
inaccurate firearms from the
American market, banning
their sale by either manufactu
rers or dealers.
For the first time, standards
would be set on what kind of
guns could be sold in the United
States—with criteria enforced
by the secretary of the
Treasury on length, weight,
caliber and safety features.
Page 17
In addition, although the
Senate has firmly rejected
government confiscatation, the
bill does encourage Americans
to turn in handguns by offering
compensation to dealers and
owners for firearms now in
their possession which the
secretary decrees may not be
sold. The Senate Judiciary
Committee estimated this
would cost the taxpayers an
estimated $lO million.
An individual, however, could
choose to keep his gun, even
though its sale would be
