He refused to be identified." On the other hand, Norman C.

Parker, chairman of the county Board of Police Commissioners, said that the ruling would have no effect on the operation of the county police department. "That (the decision) is in the area of the courts. It is beyond the area in which the police operate," Parker said.

At present, seven defendants in the county are awaiting trial in cases in which it had seemed probable that the death penalty would be sought. Five of the persons are those accused of robbery and murder at the Cousin Hugo tavern holdup in Maplewood on March 18. An Illustration of the effect that elimination of the death penalty could' have in pleas on capital offenses can be found in the case of Thomas Varble, 25 years old, who was sentenced Monday to life in prison after pleading guilty in county Circuit Court to killing a Jennings grocer in December or 1970.

Of the 18 delegates, 12 were elected at congressional a and six more were promised by Representative William L. Clay as part of a Black Caucus endorsement of McGovern. At first it was thought that Clay's promise would bring eight black delegates to McGovern.

But two blacks from Kansas City said they still were uncommitted and were not a part of Clay's bargain. Few of the delegates said they were firmly committed to Muskie, although several said they favored him. Hearnes has said that at least 40 of Missouri's delegates are pledged to Muskie on the first ballot. In the Tenth District, U. H.

Senator Maurice Schechter Creve Coeur, spoke after the United States Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the aeath penalty, as it had been generally applied in the nation, was illegal. v- "Many members of the legis-; lature think that some crimes, calling for the death penalty should be eliminated," Schechter He cited robbery with a deadly weapon that did not result in murder. Howard L. McFadden, general-counsel for the Department of Correction, predicted a series of bills in the 1973 legislature, on punishment for, what are now capital crimes (punishable by death) in Missouri.

He said that the department was ready to consult with legislators eager to set capital punishment guidelines for specific circumstances. Among specific circumstances that some law enforcement offi-, cials here believe should carry the death penalty are the shooting of a policeman and the killing of a prison guard or prison-er by a person already serving a life sentence. "Say a man is being pursued and he is a habitual criminal," said Maj. M. Michael Bergauer, commander of field operations for the St.

louis County Police Department. "I what extremes he would go to to avoid arrest. He could kill any number of people knowing that he would not have to face the death penalty." Prison guards' lives would continually be in a County ProsecutingAttorney Gene Mc a said, if there were no threat of the death penalty. "I doubt whether you could be able to get i guards any more," he said. McNary had announced before the Supreme Court decision that he would seek the death penalty for Anthony Damico, now on trial in Kansas City.

Damico is charged with first-degree murder in the death of a Town and Country housewife, Mrs. Sally Lucas. The judge in the Damico trial, Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Tom J. Stubbs, said today that the case would be submitted to the jury under present state law, which specifies penalties of either life in" prison or death for a murder conviction. St.

Louis Circuit Attorney Brendan Ryan said that the court ruling meant "that perhaps we will have to make a life sentence really mean life. "Perhaps we should now redefine our homicide laws so as to make some eligible for parole after a given time, but others only parolable through executive clemency, if at all." Ryan, like many others who in general apporved of the decision, said that in the past the penalty had not been imposed fairly. It was meted out to defendants who were poor and therefore unable to hire their own attorneys and prepare first-class defenses, he said. Justice Potter Stewart indicated in his opinion that the present arbitrary quality of the imposition of the penalty had been critical in the court's decision. He said that the constitutional problem would be different if a state specified that the death penalty would be mandatory for everyone convicted of a certain crime.

Justice Byron White said that the death penalty was imposed so infrequently that it would be unconstitutional to permit execution of defendants who did get that sentence. Three Supreme Court justices, however, indicated they believed that the death penalty constituted cruel and unusual punishment, no matter what the circumstances. State Senator Raymond Howard St. Louis, who has worked in the state for abolition of the death sentence, concurs. "I believe the death penalty is cruel and unusual in any particular crime," Howard said.

"Mostly the poor and unhappy minority have received this pun-ishinent. "Confidentially my colleagues (in the legislature) have told me that if capital punishment applied to everybody, there would be a great outrage and the conscience of the Missouri Senate would have been so shocked that capital punishment would have been abolished," Howard said. He noted that 44 nations had abolished capital punishment. Attorney General John C. Danforth said that he was opposed to the death penalty.

"Personally," he said "I think it is an anachronism." However, he said that his office had followed Missouri law in asking for and obtaining death sentences in several cases. Danforth said some determination now would have to be made on how the prisoners under death sentence were to be handled. Three possibilities exist, he said. The governor could be asked to commute, their sentences to life in prison, or the iu. purposes oi miiig inc smic- ment the maximum orice was indicated at $20 a share.

VENTERS Jefferson City Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch JEFFERSON CITY, June 30 Missouri is expected to close its 1971-72 fiscal year today with a revenue surplus of more than $20,000,000, state Comptroller John C. Vaughn said. Even before the final figures were in, however, Representative E. J. (Lucky) a 1 1 Overland, was urging Gov.

Warren E. Hearnes to give the Legislature an opportunity to spend the money. a 11, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, asked Hearnes to consider including some spending measures for unfunded programs in his call for a special session in September. Hearnes has indicated that he will call a special session to co-i i with the Legislature's return Sept. 6 to consider bills he has vetoed this year.

Vaugn said the state had col-I about $777,000,000 through yesterday and it is expected to spend $757,000,000 this fiscal year. Today's collections could push the total up another $1,000,000, he said. The surplus is the largest in four years, Vaughn said, and is largely a result of increased revenue produced by the sales and income taxes. Those two levies produce about 90 per cent of the state's revenue. Last year, the state fell about $21,000,000 short of anticipated revenues.

Revenue this fiscal year exceeded Vaughn's estimates by almost $27,000,000. "This should give us a real chance in January to hind some of the new programs we couldn't fund this year and we would have some cash to do it with," Vaughn said. The Legislature authorized the start of new or expanded programs costing about $24,000,000, Vaughn estimated, but did not appropriate money for them because it was not available. Cantrell, in a letter to Hearnes, pointed out several of these and urged Hearnes to include 'some of them in his call for the September session. Major unfunded programs Cantrell listed were the new public defender system, esti-mated to cost $1,400,000 the first increased aid to junior colleges totaling $2,200,000 a year, and increases in nursing home payments for welfare recipients, $6,500,000 annually.

About $1,000,000 is needed to pay increased salaries of the Highway Patrol, Cantrell said, and $500,000 could be used to pay for food commodities and food stamps. An increase of several million dollars in the state budget for medicaid and medicare payments to in nursing homes would, attract large sums of federal money, he said. Jobless Pay Bill Goes To Nixon WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) President Richard M. Nixon has received for his signature a bill extending until Dec. 3 a special program allowing extra unemployment compensa-tion benefits.

The Senate passed the bill yesterday the program provides for an additional 13 weeks of unemployment payments workers in states with jobless rates of 6.5 per cent or higher. The bill increases the unemployment insurance tax for a one-year period from its present one half of 1 per cent of the first $4200 of a worker's earnings to 0.58 of 1 per cent.

The trailers are then chained to the flat cars by crews which use catwalks a 1 i the tracks. Incom Stock 5.40 5.90SoGen Int 14.55 15.24 7.64 8.35lSw Invs 9.33 10.09 Ne!

Petition Drive By Blackwell Called Success JEFFERSON CITY, June 30 (UPI) The Blackwell initiative petition campaign to require a referendum on tax increase measures has been successful, an aid to state Senator Earl R.

Blackwell announced today. Donald C. Anton of Sapping-ton, campaign aid to the Hillsboro Democrat, said more than 160,965 signatures had been collected on initiative petitions in all 10 of the state's congressional districts. More-than signatures in seven districts were needed to put the measure on the ballot this year. The proposal, a key campaign issue of Blackwell, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, would prohibit any tax increase without approval of Missouri voters.

It ef-rectively would remove the taxing power of the Legislature and give it to voters. Anton said more than the required number of signatures had been collected in all 10 districts. He said 10,249 were received in the First District, in the Second District, in the Third District, in the Fourth District, in the Fifth District, 16,803 in the Sixth 19,654 in the Seventh District, 20,505 in the Eighth District, 18,425 in the Ninth District and 13,749 in the Tenth District. The petitions will be filed with the secretary of state next Wednesday, one day, prior to the deadline to get the proposal on this year's ballot. By DANA L.

SPITZER Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota, who has the support of 18 i i delegates, appears to be gaining little, if any, more support among the state's delegates to the Democratic national o'fl n-tion. if' In a survey by the Post-Dispatch of most of the 55 dele-gates not committed to McGovern, some said they would never vote for his nomination and would sit out the election if he led the ticket. A greater number, however, said they would support McGovern if he were nominated. Some said they might vote for him at the convention.

But none said they would. The Democratic Credentials Committee dealt McGovern a crippling blow yesterday in Washington when it stripped him or more than half of his 271 delegate votes from California. The decision made a first ballot victory for McGovern more difficult and added significance uncommitted delegates in Missouri and other states. Sam Liberman, a McGovern delegate from the Second Congressional District, said the decision was bound to hurt the party by dividing the conven-. tion even more than it already appeared to be.

"It will turn public opinion and many people in the party against those responsible," he said. The credentials committee decision came on a challenge by supporters of Senators Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, Henry M. Jackson of Washington and Representative Shirley Chishohn of New York.

The warmest comments about McGovern among uncommitted delegates came from St. Louis City Treasurer Paul M. Berra, John Mcllroy of Bowling Green and Brunson Hollingsworth of Hillsboro. Each disputed contentions by other delegates, including state party chairman Delton L. Houtchens and Gov.

Warren E. Hearnes, that McGovern would do poorly in Missouri. They said McGovern's winning record in other states indicated that he commanded wide popular, support, and they thought he would do well in traditionally Democratic Missouri. However, in the Sixth Congressional District, John DeWitt of Gilman City and Charles Armour of Richmond said they would not support FcGovern under any circumstan' The other uncommitted delegate from the Sixth District, Dorothy Wylie of St. Joseph, said she would support the convention choice.

Three others from the district are for McGovern. Houtchens, who is from the Fourth District, has said he would never vote for McGovern and would find it very difficult to support him. Hearnes has made similar statements.

Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said last night that if Fischer did not appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stood to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever."

Janus WASHINGTON. June 30 (AP) The Food and Drug Adminis-t a i has ordered new or stronger cautionary labels on 25 more detergent products judged to be injurious to the eyes, skin or esophagus. The new list, based on testing over the last year, brings to 50 the number of laundry and dish washing detergents, presoaks, general cleansers and bleaches required to change labeling since mid-1970. The FDA said yesterday it had completed i of 77 household laundry and cleaning products.

It said three more years would berequiredto complete examination of the 200 products now on the market. The 38 tested in the last year include 23 nonphosphates. Cautionary labeling was ordered for 18 nonphosphates and seven phosphate products. They are Cure, Cal-Met, Imperial, Stop and Shop Hi-Power Blue, Staff All Purpose White, Shop Rite New Blue, a I Monsanto Opposes Ban On Phosphates Monsanto and three other firms have asked a United States district court in Chicago for permission to join as plaintiffs in a lawsuit to block the ban on phosphate detergents in the City of Chicago. A company spokesman said the ban was scheduled to take effect tomorrow.

It would force Chicago residents to buy non-phosphate detergent products. The suit was filed by the Soap and Detergent Association. "Monsanto is opposed to banning phosphate detergents when there is no equally efficient and safe substitute available," the spokesman said. Threatens Blacklisting he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of televi sion and movie rights already agreed to.

The gate receipts probably will be considerable. Matches will be played three to six days a week in a 2500-seat sports palace with seats at $5 each. The series is expected to last two months. Euwe said he did not expect the Icelandic Chess Federation to meet Fischer's demand. "I don't like Mr.

Fischer in our chess world," said Euwe.
