They and their Lake Charles hostesses "oohed" and "ahhed" in several languages as they were given 8 "little" style show while le they were guests Friday afternoon at Muller's department store. A corner of the fashion salon on the third floor of the store was especially converted for this "private showing." Elaine Weiss, fashion coordinator for Muller's, was commentator.

Hart, introduces today a bill to abolish the death penalty for federal crimes and substitute life imprisonment. "The death penalty is a symbol of a dying order of vengeance and death." the Michigan Democrat said, adding that there is no evidence that capital punishment deters crime. The bill would not affect capital punishment under state laws. But Hart said 13 states already have abolished the death penalty and he hoped his would encourage other bill states to do 30. He also said 72 nations eliminated executions either by law or custom.

with Great Britain "the most recent and impressive example." "The death penalty is ineffective in deterring crime," Hart said in a prepared Senate speech. "It discriminates against the poor and friendless. And the mistakes, few but inevitable, which are made in its ap plication are irretrievable." Federal law carries the death penalty for such crimes as kidnaping, espionage, treason, aircraft piracy, train robbery and assassination. Military sonnel can be executed for aid- deing the enemy, cowardice, sertion, sedition and spying. In addition, the District of Columbia, run by federal law, has capital punishment for rape and murder.

Hart, in urging abolishment of the death penalty in these cases, cited a mass of statistics that he said had convinced him capital punishment is ineffective in deterring crime.
