Marion police said that Mrs. Edith L.

Schmidt, 25 years old, admitted that she and Glenn Everett Stewart, 30, a Marion factory worker and native of Arkansas, had plotted to kill her husband, Larry Schmidt, 30, for "48 hours." The murder was committed on May 8, Mothers Day, police quoted her as saying. Schmidt's butchered body was found Sunday in the basement of his Marion home. MRS. SCHMIDT, mother of two children, said that Stewart did the actual stabbing, according to police. Her statement on the murder followed more than two hours of intensive questioning by Marion Police Chief Ted Null and detectives.

Null said at first she stuck to her tale that Stewart killed Schmidt because of $50 Schmidt owed Stewart but then "broke down" and admitted a role in the mutilation slaying. He said she said she was "deathly afraid" of the 200-pound, bearded Stewart, who was taken by force at 6:09 p.m. yesterday in a pasture 2 miles west of Curtis, Ark. CLARK COUNTY Sheriff R. W.

Stevenson, in whose pas ture Stewart was captured, described the fugitive as being "completely exhausted, mosquito bitten and utterly defeated." Stewart exclaimed that he was Innocent just after he was captured by Arkansas state troopers Arie Green and William Ingram, police said. He said that was why he was running away from Indiana, according to police. "I'll tell you fellows, I've lost faith in mankind too. I tried to help a friend and they turn around and stab me in the back," Stewart was quoted as saying.

Three boys convicted of manslaughter in the case were sentenced to 2-to-21-year terms in the Indiana State Reformatory, Pendleton.

Judge Saul I. Rabb imposed the sentences in Criminal Court, Division 2, where a jury had convicted the five last week after a five-week trial. The judge took no action on probation officers' recommendations for "leniency" for two of the boys, but he said the probation officers' presentence reports wquld be included in the boys' prison files. ALL FIVE had been charged with first-degree murder in the torture slaying. Mrs.

Baniszewski was convicted of first-degree murder, and Paula was convicted of second-degree murder. The manslaughter sentences Rabb imposed and the life sentence for Paula were prescribed by law. Mrs. Baniszewski could have been sentenced to death in the electric chair, but the jury recommended life imprisonment. The boys headed for the Reformatory are Mrs.

Baniszew-ski's son, John S. Baniszewski 13 years old; Richard Dean Hobbs, 15, 310 North Denny Street, and Coy R. Hubbard, 15, 435 North Lin-wood Avenue. The Baniszew-skis lived at 3850 East New York Street. Sylvia boarded there.

Her battered, bruised, scalded, tattooed body was found there last Oct. 26. The Baniszewski boy will be the youngest inmate in the Reformatory, state corrections officials said. The defendants sat In their chairs as their sentences were read and displayed little emotion. Paula curled her lin but shed no tears as she was sentenced to life.

These hospitals are heavily concentrated in the South. Representatives of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare are now visiting them in an effort to secure voluntary compliance with the Civil Rights Act provision barring discrimination and segregation in hospitals accepting Medicare patients. THE REPORT was made to Mr. Johnson by HEW Secretary John W. Gardner, who was generally optimistic about the start of the medical care program for older Americans financed through Social Security contributions.

More than 8,000 hospitals In the nation are eligible for participation in the Medicare program if they meet the required standards. HEW officials said that about 7,200 hospitals ultimately would meet the quality standards, THEY SAID that about Inside Today's Star PRESBYTERIANS STAKE OUT PLATFORM New rules governing convictions, first creedal reform in more than 300 years page 4 U.S. AIDED BY BONN-LONDON TAIKS-Michael Padev, The Star's foreign editor says far-reaching agreements reached by Erhard, Wilson Page 11 FEAR STALKS VIETNAMESE-Priest explains to columnist bon Dedera natives have lived in constant fear for 20 years page 20 Nike-X Defensive Cover For U.S., Says Scientist 900 hospitals already had signed up to comply with the Civil Rights requirement. Of this total more than are being investigated by HEW because of the manner in which certain questions posed by the government were answered. Several hundred other hospitals have not yet replied to questionnaires mailed out by the government.

Deputy HEW Secretary Wilbur Cohen said all hospitals which have not yet been heard from, or about which there is some question of compliance, were being gotten in touch with by HEW with the hope of getting compliance by July 1. COHEN SAID he thought "100 per cent co-operation" by doctors could be expected, including those who have said they would mot sign government forms as a matter of principle. He noted that the Medicare program provides two methods for payment of doctors-direct Federal payment to a participating doctor who fills out a one-page form, and a system where the patient submits a receipted bill from the doctor and is reimbursed by the government.

The hospital has contracted with a partnership of four physicians, all formerly in private practice, to provide constant coverage of the emergency room. The system is similar to the one adopted six years ago by Alexandria (Va.) Hospital. One of these physicians will be on duty in the emergency room at all times. Community had previously tried other systems without great success to provide emergency room coverage.

Physicians on Community's staff had taken turns being on call to the emergency room. If a patient needed treatment, the doctor on call was summoned from his office or his home. More recently, during the last six months, the general practitioners on Community's.
