page 10 July 4, 1972 cijc auforb jwwtnui Attorney General Says Death Penalty Only Restricted 301? at the discretion of judges or juries. He pointed out that this would allow California to impose a mandatory death penalty for the same crimes for which it was previously mandatory-mainly the murder of guards by prisoners serving a life sentence. Others, he noted, included treason, perjury causing the death of an innocent person, and causing death by trainwreck. Skyjacking could be considered as an addition to the list, he said. No matter what happens in November, he stressed, the death penalty could not be reapplied to those on Californias death row who were spared by the state Supreme Courts decision.

Supreme Court has banned the death penalty, it would be a waste of time and the taxpayers money to conduct a futile referendum. Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown Jr. is studying the arguments, and is expected to issue a ruling this week on whether the issue will' remain on the ballot. If passed, the measure would allow the state legislature to make the death penalty mandatory for certain specified crimes.

Younger said this would be allowed under the U.S. Supreme Courts decision, which he said did not strike down the penalty itself, but selective executions which could be imposed prohibition in the state constitution against cruel or unusual punishment. Despite what he called earlier overreaction, Younger said that after a study of the U.S, courts fragmented decision on the issue, I have concluded that the U.S. Supreme Court has not found the death penalty unconstitutional per se. -tt, would be permissable under certain circumstances.

He said it is proper and essential therefore that the death penalty initiative, putting the matter before the states voters, remain on the November ballot. Opponents of capital punishment are demanding the initiative be removed, on the grounds that since the U.S. UN WfAlHIIIOKXASt National Weather Forecast TODAY WAS a cold Fourth of July in much of the nation.

Supreme Court has not outlawed the death penalty, hut only restricted its use, so Californians should be allowed to vote on whether they want it restored, according to State Attorney General Evelle J. Younger. Younger said that as the law currently stands, by his interpretation, the death penalty is constitutional under certain circumstances in 49 states. But its unconstitutional under all circumstances in California. That is because the state Supreme Court went farther than the U.S.

The people may go home between July 15 and Aug. 21, but the equipment can stay in place. On a smaller scale, the common convention site is a savings for all the communications and news people, many of whom set up or lease transmission facilities at the convention cities every four years. The next largest convention spenders are the political parties themselves. The Deimv crats estimate their expenses this year at $2 million, and the Republican figure probably will be in the same ballpark.

Each of the candidates also make heavy outlays for communications, housing and transportation. The city of Miami Beach, plus other interested government and private bodies, will spend an estimated $1.5 million on the two conventions. A breakdown includes $500,000 from the city and county for donated goods and services; $250,000 in cash to the parties from the Miami Beach Tourist Development Authority; $100,000 from the South Florida Hotel Association; $130,000 from a state finance committee set up by Gov. Reubin Askew for the conventions; and $565,000 in salaries and training costs, paid by the state, for 400 Florida highway patrolmen, game commission officers and beverage agents who will help the small Miami Beach police force.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Democrats and the Republicans finally have given the television networks the gift they have been seeking for years the same city for both national party conventions.

Conventions cost lots of money for everyone the political parties and candidates, the cities and states involved, the print and broadcast media. But no one puts out as much as the networks, and no one was happier when the Republicans decided at the last minute to shift their 1972 convention from San Diego to Miami Beach. The last time both conveiw tions were in the same city was in 1952 in Chicago. But big time television still was new, and the multimillion-drllar coverage the broadcasters now lay on was in the future. So TV didnt realize the savings of a common site then that it will now.

By one estimate, the three major networks will spend up to $22 million on the conventions, eadly the largest outlay of anyone involved in the two meetings. But they saved hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars by not having to pack and ship tons of equipment and transport hundreds of employes from Florida to California.
