                         Stars Fall From
                       Anti-gun Bandwagon
In the heat of summer and apparently in hot pursuit of publicity,
scores of movie and television personalities hopped on the gun
control bandwagon -- briefly.  When the furor died down, they quit.
     Actor-Producer Tom Laughlin, chairman of a Hollywood anti-gun
movement billed as "Ten Thousand Americans for Reasonable Gun
Control", admitted defeat and dejection in a news report in "Film
and Television Daily."  Laughlin was quoted as terming the quitting
actors "summer soldiers" and lamenting:
     "We'd put them all on network shows.  We built the campaign,
and then everyone just became uninterested.  When the failure set
in in Washington, when it was clear that there was a need for a
sustained, organized effort, everyone became disinterested.
     "They were all hepped up for 2 weeks.  The commitment couldn't
last any longer than that.  It's frightening to me."
     Laughlin cited as diehards who stuck with his anti-gun
movement a "little more than a handful" including Producers Richard
Zanuck and Robert Blumoffe, Producer-Director Robert Wise, and film
stars Warren Beatty, Candice Bergen, Marlon Brando, CHARLTON
HESTON, Hugh O'Brien, Jill St. John.  (emphasis added)
