Popis:	We report on the close similarity of coronal mass ejection (CME) properties in ground level enhancement (GLE) in solar energetic particle (SEP) events and sustained gamma ray emission (SGRE) from the Sun as indicated by low frequency type III radio bursts observed in the interplanetary medium. The complex type III bursts have an average 1 MHz duration of 36 and 34 min in the SGRE and GLE events, respectively. Similarly, the CMEs underlying SGRE and GLE have average space speeds of 1866 and 2084 km/s, respectively. These are larger than the corresponding values (32 min, 1407 km/s) for a control sample of type III bursts associated with frontside halo CMEs with sky plane speed exceeding 800 km/s. These results are consistent with the idea that energetic CME driven shocks accelerate particles to very high energies that are responsible for GLE and SGRE events. Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the URSI GASS 2023, Sapporo, Japan, 19 to 26 August 2023
