Cassell (Tom) Tharp, who has been confined to his home for Widow dies; leaves money HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (UPI)— Patrolman Tom McGuire was searching for identification papers in the imitation leather purse when he found the money — about $2,000 in bills. “Hey, sergeant,” he called to Sgt. Chuck Fulton. “This woman had a little money.” A further search of the modest shingle and stucco home, where the body of Mrs. Mary MacMahon, 67, a widow, was found by a twice-a-week maid Saturday, made MeGuire’s remark a classic understatement. Officers have uncovered a $2.25 million fortune in cash, stocks and bonds and jewelry stashed about the home of the widow of a New York attorney and investor, Thomas F. MacMahon. Police, alerted by a maid who found the doors of the house locked when she reported for work, found Mrs. MacMahon sprawled on the floor in her flannel nightgown. She apparently died of natural causes. Authorities found stacks of bills, neatly bundled with green strings and stacked on shelves in a walk-in closet in the bedroom. Cardboard boxes among the stacks of bills on the closet floor were overflowing with stocks and bonds from more than 30 different blue chip companies. Initial estimates set the value of Mrs. MacMahon’s belongings at $1.5 million, but a shoebox full of bonds here and an old wallet stuffed with bills there pushed the total to more than $2.25 million. Police officials tightened security measures around the one-story home and kept looking. The fortune, including some $242,000 in bills, two bureau drawers full of jewelry, and her stock and bond certificates, was being heavily guarded in a Hollywood bank. Her attorney, Lynwood Cabot, said her husband, who died in 1935, had been active in the stock market and his wife was his bookkeeper until his death. He said she began making her own transactions after he died. Cabot said her bookkeeping was accurate “to the penny...and she did it all herself.” He added Mrs. MaiMahon had “an accurate mind.” No protective devices or burglar alarms of any type were found in the home and her only safe, in a concrete slab in her bedroom closet, contained $100 in pennies and was but half-hidden by a cardboard carton. Cabot said she was survived by two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Barker in California and Mrs. Helton of Oak Park, 111., and three nieces.

The Stitch and Chatter Anniversary meeting was Wednesday at Torr’s restaurant. AMA studies TV commercials MIAMI BEACH (UPI)—Three resolutions condemning cigarette smoking and television cigarette commercials were under study today by committees of the American Medical Association (AMA) at its 22nd Clinical Convention. AMA President Dwight L. ilbur formally opened the four-day convention Sunday, telling the AMA’s House of Delegates that at least 20 million Americans lack “adequate medical care.” He said “The making available of high-quality medical care to everyone in America at as reasonable a cost as possible” should be a top AMA goal. The anti-smoking resolutions were among dozens being reviewed, including one calling for an end to “discrimination in membership” which allegedly has been used against Negro physicians. In accordance with one resolution, AMA members would be urged “To play a major role against cigarette smoking by personal example” as well as by public pronouncements. Another would have the AMA itself condemn all “cigarette advertising on televsion.” A third resolution spells out the ways a doctor should set an anti-smoking example. The working committees studying the mountain of resolutions are scheduled to present their conclusions to the 242member house of delegates Tuesday. Once a vote is taken in the house, the conclusions become official AMA policy, if passed. There is a move to open AMA membership to osteopaths. A resolution paving the way for admitting them is under study. Home Front Helps WASHINGTON < UPI' — "The Community Action Programs of the Office of Economic Opportunity are the most promising development of the war on poverty,” the National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity says in its report, ‘‘Focus on Community Action.” The council was appointed by President Johnson in March of last year and has focused primary attention on the problems and prospects of community action as an instrument for breaking the cycle of poverty across the nation.

The eminently-qualified Foster was able to convey the magnitude that air transportation will assume in the immediate future with use of such planes as the DC- 10 and 747 jets. A trio of DePauw’ musicians provided music through the dining period. Moore gave a report on the Chamber’s past year accomplishments listing its assistance in fostering a master plan for Greencastle as the key accomplishment. Moore praised his committees for their outstanding work during the past year and cited Robert McCormick, Harold Sutherlin, Lyle Staley and W.E. Schafer for a successful “Fair on the Square.” Long presented Moore with a plaque for serving as organization president during the past year.

Some have it. Some don’t. These do.

Having it is how a car qualifies for Chevrolet's Sports Shop. Which limits membership to the 1969 Corvette, Z 28, and the SS versions of Impala, Chevelle, Camaro, Nova. But that’s the only limit. What our Sports Shop cars have in common is very uncommon else-

where. Fat, grabby tires on wide wheels. Power disc brakes. SS V8’s from 300 hp. And the individual idea of letting you order from a car enthusiast’s list of performance and dress-up features. The Sports Shop, in your Chevro-

let dealer’s ’69 Sports Department. The one place in town that says, “Performance spoken here.” Which leaves the competition speechless.

Putting you first, keeps us first.
