  3.     DIED. Paul Gann, 77, crusading co-author (with Howard Jarvis)
  4. of California's tax-cutting Proposition 13; of pneumonia
  5. complicated by AIDS; in Sacramento. The Jarvis-Gann Initiative,
  6. overwhelmingly approved by California voters in 1978, cut the
  7. state's property taxes in half and inspired similar tax-revolt
  8. measures across the country. Gann developed AIDS two years ago from
  9. a blood transfusion received during heart surgery. While bearing
  10. no grudge against the donor, Gann believed that people who
  11. knowingly transmit the disease "should be tried for murder."
