S.F. EXAMINER B7' Death row inmate is spared Split ruling does not affect constitutionality of state death penalty 1 Without touching on the constitutionality of California's death penalty law, a severely split state Supreme Court today spared the life of death row inmate Douglas Ray Stankewitz. Stankewitz, 22, had been convicted of the first-degree murder, kidnap and robbery of Theresa Greybeal in February 1978 in Manteca. The case will return to Fresno County Superior Court for retrial. The high court, in a majority opinion by Chief Justice Rose Bird, reversed Stankewitz' convictions on the ground that the trial judge made re versible errors.

The court said the trial judge should have either given Stanke-witz a hearing to determine his competency to stand trial or In the alternative, appointed a different lawyer after it was revealed that he did not want a public defender. Joining Bird In the opinion were Justices Stanley Mosk and Otto Kaus. Justice Allen Broussard provided a fourth vote, but filed a separate concurring opinion. Justice Frank Newman filed a dissenting opinion in which Justice Frank Richardson Joined. On appeal, attorneys for Stankewitz had argued that their client had such a paranoid fixation about the public defender's office that the defendant could not rationally cooperate with a public defender.

Bird said that the pre-trial denial of; a competency hearing compelled the reversal because under well estab lished law, the trial court lacks the; power to proceed with the trial once su "doubt rises" as to the competency of the accused.

SanFranciuo'i British Goods Stort Since 1939 0 7 Examiner East Bay Bureau OAKLAND A proposed fare hike for Bay Area Rapid Transit riders was postponed for another two weeks today by the BART Board of Directors. The directors, at a full meeting, decided not to tackle the new fare schedule today and sent the matter back to the BART Achninistration Committee, which is scheduled to meet Aug. 18. The committee was instructed to report at the next full board meeting Aug. 19.

An increase is inevitable, however. The board adopted an operating budget of $132,655,900 for the 19823 fiscal year, about 10 percent higher than the current year. The total budget, including capital expenditures and debt reduction, comes to $274,442,169. The new fare schedule, which would raise the cost of riding BART trains an average of 17 percent, was sent to the nine-member board earlier this week by the Administration Committee with "no recommendation." Today's move to send the matter back to the committee was instituted by Director Arthur Shartsis. A Looking for a bargain in pinking shears, power tools, pastry knives?

Bellhops, busboys, waiters and bartenders were on picket lines this morning shortly after talks that started at 10 Monday night to reject the final management offer which offered wage Increases of 6, 5 and 5 percent over the next three years.

The union is seeking a three-year pact with salary increases of 20, 15 and 15 percent The two sides also have differences on contract seniority language, holidays and causes for dismissal.
