It provides for more lenient handling of truants and runaways, banning confinement with serious juvenile offenders. Other bills impose life sentences without parole for murder by torture, increase penalties for so-called "white-collar crimes" and prohibit judges from granting probation to most defendants with two or more prior felony convictions.

David was born without natural body defenses against disease. He suffers from severe combined immune deficiency (SCID), an inherited disorder that strikes about one in every 10,000 males. Doctors said the simplest of germs which unaffect most persons could kill him. David a dark-haired, brown-eyed youngster was placed in the germ-free environment seconds after birth, and his last name has been kept secret by his parents and hospital officials. The space suit should be ready in December.

Officials at the Johnson Space Center and Texas Children's Hospital said the legal documents authorizing David's space suit have been signed, ending more than two years of negotiations that began after space officials were asked to study the possibility of adapting space technology and hardware to extend the boy's environment. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California's 59-year-old system of flexible prison terms has been changed by a new law which allows judges to sentence persons to specific terms. The landmark legislation, signed yesterday by Gov. Edmund Brown becomes effective next July 1.

"This bill will probably lead to increased terms," the Democratic governor told a news conference after signing the legislation, one of 28 law-and-order measures signed yesterday. "If necessary, we'll build more prisons." THE CURRENT SYSTEM of flexible prison terms requires a judge to sentence a defendant to minimum and maximum terms generally six months to 10 years, 1-10 years or 5 years to life. The state parole board determines the actual length of a sentence. The new measure "lets the judge at the time of sentencing lay out exactly what the punishment is, so the people, the district attorney, the public defender and the offender all know what the cost of the crime is," Brown said. The law, which was opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Prisoners Union, retains indeterminate sentences for some crimes, such as first-degree murder.

JUDGES WILL BE required to pick one of three fixed sentences for other offenses, such as two, three or four years. When indeterminate sentences were introduced in California, the system was viewed as a reform, granting more flexibility and taking into account the effects of rehabilitation. But in practice, critics argued, the uncertainty of indeterminate terms had a negative impact on prisons. "Today the whole system of criminal justice is somewhat fraudulent," Brown said. "When you give someone one-to-life, the people think he's getting a life sentence.

The public defender knows he is only going away for a year or two." BROWN ALSO SIGNED a measure yesterday WASHINGTON (AP) Congress is about to shelve the so-called Humphrey-Hawkins full employment bill for this session. House Speaker Carl Albert said yesterday when asked about the legislation that he saw no chance it would be approved this year. The House Education and Labor Committee approved a watered-down version of the bill last week which contained revisions specifically requested by Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter. REP. AUGUSTUS F.

Hawkins, the prime sponsor of the bill with Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, had said he wanted to push House passage of the plan to keep the heat on the presidential and congressional candidates. But Albert said he didn't buy that strategy. He noted that there was virtually no chance of the bill being brought up in the Senate this year, and he said that "any bill the Senate is not going to pass, I don't want to see brought up over here, no matter how strongly I am for it." The bill would take steps aimed at stimulating private industry to produce new jobs, and provide public works jobs for individuals unable to find employment in the private sector.

He was 71. Bloomgarden had been suffering from a brain tumor for more than six months. Bloomgarden was considered by many to be what one director called "the perfect producer one who stands aside and understanding lets the artists do their jobs, interfering as little as possible." The Brooklyn-born Bloomgarden once put the matter in his own way: "A producer is a man who throws out sparks that will stimulate the author and director to make better use of their own creativity, rather than as a dictator who gives literal orders which, if followed, will often kill the quality of the play."
