II i 1 Jl mimM 1 Lira limwi I Ml -i OHflHtl WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court decision outlawing the death penalty as it is now imposed leaves the door open for Congress or the states to write new laws that would be considered valid.

But the door isn't open very much. -The only reason there is an opening at all is that only two of the five justices in Thursday's majority seem to have concluded that capital punishment is prohibited by the 8th Amendment for all crimes and under all circumstances. They were Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall.

The three others, Byron R. While, Potter Stewart, and to a lesser degree, William O. Douglas, quarreled constitutionally not with capital punishment itself so much as with the looseness of sentencing procedures. That is, the legislatures left it to judges and juries to choose to impose the death penalty in one instance of murder or rape and to impose a lesser sentence on another defendant for a similar crime. White said that as a result the odds are very much against execution.

"When imposition of the penalty reaches a certain degree of infrequency, it would be very doubtful that any existing general need for retribution would be measurably satisfied," he said. Stewart said: "I simply conclude that the 8th and 14th Amendments cannot tolerate the infliction of a sentence of death under legal systems that permit this unique penalty to be so wantonly and so freakishly imposed." Put another way, Stewart said the death sentences before the court "are cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual." Douglas, meanwhile, said the 8th Amendment requires legislatures to write criminal laws that are "evenhanded, nonselective and nonarbitrary" and requires judges "to see to it that general laws are not applied sparsely, selectively and spottily to unpopular groups." Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, one of the dissenters, took heart in the Stewart-White position. He said: "Since the two pivotal concurring opinions turn on the assumption that the punishment of death is now meted out in a random and unpredictable manner, legislative bodies may seek to bring their laws into compliance with the court's ruling by providing standards for juries and judges to follow in determining the sentence in capital cases or by more narrowly defining the crimes for which the penalty is to be imposed."

The proposal was introduced Thursday by Rep. Louis C. Wy-man, after the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision holding the death penalty unconstitutional as it is imposed under current laws in the United States. The court's ruling is "contrary to society's right to the protection of this deterrent to murder," said Wyman. Wyman, attorney-general of New Hampshire before he came to Congress, is a former president of the National Association of Attorneys General.

"It's too late to argue about whether the decision is right or wrong, for there's no appeal from the Supreme Court. The only answer now is an amendment to the Constitution and Congress should propose one right away," Wyman said. REUT-A-BUG! fiffi BUSES AND CALIPERS NOW AVAILABLE!

Benton news of record antipoverty bin due work WASHINGTON (AP) -Overriding opposition from the White House, the Senate has passed a antipoverty bill which sets up an independent corporation to help the poor with legal problems. After a week of sometimes-angry debate, the Senate Thursday voted 74 to 16 to approve the measure and send it back to the House, which passed a somewhat different version last February.

A conference will attempt to iron out differences between the two versions after Congress returns July 17 from the recess for the Democratic National Convention. The Senate measure authorizes funds for two more years for programs aimed at helping the 26 million Americans officially designated as living in poverty. The bill authorizes funds quite a bit higher than President Nixon recommended for many programs of the antipoverty agency, the Office of Economic Opportunity. The measure does not give Nixon the authority he sought in handling or transferring programs. No equal rights BATON ROUGE, La.

It is probably the biggest judicial afterthought in Several officials predicted the ruling would have a major long-range impact on parole procedures. Legislators in some states said they would work to reinstate capital punishment, an option which the court left open under certain circumstances. that, "if the Democratic nominee is nominated according to the rules in a way I think is fair, 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 underrepresent women, youth and blacks. The challengers include several McGovern supporters.

WASHINGTON (AP) An angry George McGovern has threatened to withhold support from the Democratic ticket if he loses the presidential nomination because of what he called "shabby back-room dealing." McGovern coupled the threat with a stream of accusations directed at the Credentials Committee vote Thursday stripping him, at least temporarily, of more than half the 271 delegates he won in California's primary. The committee's 72-66 vote to apportion the 271 delegates among nine candidates, rather than awarding them all to McGovern, fueled the unrest simmering in a party searching somewhat uncertainly for harmony between regulars and reformers. That decision and another due today on a challenge to one of the pre-eminent old-liners, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, portended further acrimonious debate at the Miami Beach convention opening July 10. The full convention will vote on accepting or rejecting Credentials Committee decisions.

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."
