The TIMES-REPORTER Fri, June 30,1972 DOVER-NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO A-3 Notorious killers 'saved' by court ruling By United Press Intcrntitlonnl Among the more notorious condemned persons affected by the U.S. Supremo Court's decision against capital punishment are Charles Schmid, who said he killed two teen-age sisters to "see how it would feel to kill someone," James Richardson who allegedly poisoned his seven children and Richard Speck, convicted of murdering eight nurses. The court's ruling Thursday that the death penalty is "cruel and unusual punishment" forbidden by the Constitution brought soaring hopes to Schmid, Speck, Rlchnrson as well as to Dunne Karl Pope, Fred (Ahmed) Evans and Dennis Whitney. Then there are other famous convicted killers, such as California's Slrhan Sirhan, Charles Manson and his cult, and John Linley Frazler who already have- been spared the death penalty by a state Supreme Court decision banning executions in the state. THE RULING ALSO affected Paul Gilly and Aubran W.

Martin, who faced the death penally following their conviction in the slayings of United Mine Workers official Joseph A. Yablonski and his wife and daughter. However, (hey may never have been executed because Pennsylvania Gov. Milton J. Shapp already had sworn to reprieve all sentenced to death in the stale as long as he holds office.

Illinois Department of Corrections Director Peter Bcnsinger said following the ruling that it was not clear whether the ruling abolishes the death sentences in all cases. Therefore, Illinois would lake no immediate action on the case of Speck, who was found guilty of the 1966 slaying of eight nurses in Chicago, or in the cases of other men on death row. Speck has been (in death row at the Illinois State Penitentiary since June 5, 1967, and although the U.S. Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 1971, it overturned the death penalty In his case. The case was remanded to lower courts for further proceedings.

His at- From A-1 TEMPERMENTAL BOBBY FISCHER STUDIES CHESS BOARD Fischer threatened with blacklisting if he fails to show for chess match AMSTERDAM (AP) The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for a cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia. Dr.

Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said Thursday night that if the 29-year-old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless 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 television and film rights already agreed to. The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise in negotiations with Fred Cramer, former president of the American Chess Federation, who is acting as Fischer's advance man. The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200,000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even. The gate receipts probably will be considerable. Matches will be played three to six days a week in a sports palace with seats at $5 each.

And the series is expected to last two months. Euwe said he didn't expect the Icelandic Chess Federation to meet Fischer's demand. He added that it would have grounds for legal action against the American challenger if he didn't show up Sunday. "I don't like Mr. Fischer in our chess world," said Euwe.

"He's a good player but every day we are getting another ultimatum from him like this." 2 jets collide, 13 die NEENAH, Wis. (AP) When two turboprop jets collided in air and apparently killed all 13 persons aboard, there was five miles of "sufficiently good visibility" with only a light haze, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said. Jerry Boyer of the FAA's Chicago office said there was no immediate explanation for the collision Thursday. A seven-man National Transportation Safety Board team is investigating. Winnebago County Coroner Duane Moore said there were no apparent survivors from North Central Flight 290 or Air Wisconsin Flight 671.

The fuselages fell into Lake Winnebago and only one body had been recovered when the search was called off at dark Thursday. The North Central Convair, which had a capacity of 48, was on a flight from Green Bay to Oshkosh, carrying three crewmen and two passengers. The Air Wisconsin DeHaviland Otter, which had a capacity of 15, was occupied with- six passengers and two crewmen en route from Sheboygan to Appleton after originally taking off from Chicago's O'Hare airport. Divers said the fuselages were still intact about half a mile apart in 20 feet of water in the lake southwest of Green Bay.

Schmid has been on death row at Arizona State Prison since 196fi when he was convicted of the murders of two teen-age sisters at a desert beer party. He said he had committed the murders to "see how it would feel tokill someone." In his initial burst of anger, McGovern called the committee decision "the rottenest political steal I've ever seen in my political career" and blamed Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, his nearest rival and chief beneficiary of the ruling, for engineering it. "I couldn't, possibly support a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby back-room dealing," he declared.

"I wouldn't have any part of any convention nominee who would support this." But he tempered the assertion later when he told a news conference in Atlantic City, N.J., that his initial outburst "doesn't reflect what I want to say about this matter." "I don't want to make any threats," he said, and added that, "if the Democratic nominee is nominated according to the rules in a way I think is fair, I'll support him." Humphrey, calling the decision "only fair," said his own chances "have markedly improved" and criticized McGovern's reaction. "Anyone who would bolt or rush off in a huff has, may I say, very little regard for the convention and its procedures," he said. The challenge, filed by supporters of Humphrey and other candidates who ran behind McGovern in the June 6 primary, contended that the winner- take-all California law violated the spirit of party reforms. The California vote seemed certain to solidify McGovern's committee supporters behind a challenge to Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates he controls on grounds they were selected improperly and under- represent women, youth and blacks. The challengers include several McGovern supporters.

The situation was further clouded by an Illinois circuit court ruling Thursday prohibiting any but the Daley delegates from taking those seats. The immediate impact of the California vote was to trim McGovern's first-place delegate total and increase his difficulty in wooing uncommitted delegates. A new Associated Press tally, taking into account the committee vote, put McGovern's first-ballot strength now at 1,226.9, or 282.1 votes away from the needed 1,509. McGovern's own tally dropped to 1,333.75, or 175.25 short of a majority. In other developments: Philadelphia, a hearing examiner decided that 40 per cent of Humphrey's and Muskie's Pennsylvania delegates were chosen in violation of the reform rules, a challenging group said.

New Orleans, state Rep. Dorothy Taylor announced that 15 of the 19 Louisiana black delegates have thrown their support to McGovern, giving him at least 24 of 44 Louisiana delegates.

It's a hot life for a Miami Beach politican as Mayor Chuck Hall demonstrates while waiting for Yippy leader Jerry Rubin to turn the microphone over to him.

Under the cloudless sky, the thermometer hit 87 degrees. The Yippies marched to a proposed campsite they are hoping to use during the Democratic convention, but the city council has voted against such action, giving them instead campsites away from the scene of the convention. Troop area prepared for party conventions HOMESTEAD AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP) A city of olive-drab tents capable of housing, feeding and equipping at least one Army battalion has sprouted 25 miles from the site of the Democratic and Republican national conventions. Soldiers from the Army Corps of Engineers were laboring Thursday to erect portable latrines, sleeping quarters and mess tents near the end of a runway.

Also in plain view were armored personnel carriers parked in wheel-touching precision and sporting such names as "Catch 22" and "Confusion." No weapons were mounted on them. The engineers from Ft. Stewart, were the only troops in evidence at the base where President Nixon lands in the Spirit of '76 on his Florida vacations. An officer who asked not to be identified said the tents would remain empty for the time. Another said that the tent city was merely "a preparation thing.

If and when troops are requested to come in, these facilities will be ready to receive them." Lt. Col. Nancy Johnson, public information officer at the Pentagon, said Thursday night no final decision has been made on any troop movement to the Miami area. She said, however, that a June 21 memo stated "the Department of Defense is making appropriate preparations to pre-position or locate troops at an appropriate time in the Miami area." Officials in Miami Beach have been planning on a force of 3,000 National Guard troops and 1,000 police officers with regular Army soldiers to be available on a standby basis. Paris peace talks to resume July 13 WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon has announced the United States will return to Vietnam peace talks in Paris on July 13 because he sees "a chance for more serious discussions." Holding his first television-radio news conference in 13 months, Nixon gave no clue Thursday night to the nature of presumed secret dickering that is bringing both sides back to the conference table In fact, he coupled his veiled optimism with a statement that "we have been disappointed in the past i a to so i s- cussions" -suggesting history might repeat itself.

The Paris talks have been in the deepfreeze since early May During a 43-minute session in the floodlit East Room of the White House, the seemingly relaxed chief executive also: Repeated high praise for Vice President Spiro Agnew but declared he won't make known his choice of a 1972 campaign running male until the Aug. 21 Republican National Con vention draws nearer.

Vietnam was the dominant topic. Nixon said the United States "will return to the negotiating table on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a serious and constructive way. We will be prepared to negotiate in that way." He reaffirmed a May offer to withdraw all Americans within four months in return for a supervised Indochina cease-fire and the return of American prisoners plus for those missing At another point, Nixon again claimed success for bis program while declining to say exactly when Saigon forces might be able to operate effectively without U.S. supporting airpower.
