However, leaders of the Democrat- controlled legislature say there is little likelihood it will be voted upon at the legislative session starting Sept.

12 The U.S. Supreme Court voided capital punishment law earlier this summer, saying it was too restrictive on judges empowered to impose the death sentence. Since the decision, pressure has been building in some quarters for the tiegislature to enact a new statute at its late summer session. However, House Speaker Vernal G. Riffe D-New Boston, and Senate Majority leader Oliver Ocasek, D- Akron, both say the issue is too emotional and complicated to expect action at the September session.

The Senate is expected to convene for four days on the and current plans are for the House to meet one day only, on Sept 15, Rep. Paul R. Leonard, D-Dayton, chairman of the subcommittee which has been holding hearings, at first said he wanted a new law enacted promptly. However, he said Tuesday that the Ohio Supreme Court some of the urgency" when it commuted the sentences of prisoners already on death row to life imprisonment. Iieonard said he expects his seven- member panel to iron out some remaining questions at the Sept.

7 meeting, so its bill can be presented to the full House Judiciary Committee Sept 12. He said if the legislature act it, the proposal will give House think about re-election on members something to during their current campaigns. It is sure to become a political issue, Ieonard said. If there was any doubt about that. Sen.

Stanley J. Aronoff, R-Cincinnati, removed it earlier this week when he said Senate Republicans will urge immediate action He said if majority Democrats refuse to go along, the burden of inaction "will be on their shoulders." Riffe said through an aide, Richard Pfeifer, that he expects political reactions if the matter is put off until January, when the next Legislature convenes. Some may claim Democrats are criminals, Pfeiffer said. But he said Riffe thinks the matter is complex and important, and therefore deserves study." Ijeonard noted that in 1972, when the U.S. Supreme Court voided the then- existing Ohio law, it said judges had too much authority to impose the sentence.

In the latest ruling, it said the judges have enough. Within that framework, the legislature must seek to find an acceptable statute, he said. Aronoff, who said he found the 33- member other 11 Republicans in unanimous agreement, discounted there would be too little time in September to pass a law. death penalty is not a new issue in Ohio. It has been debated at length on numerous occasions and most legislators are reasonably familiar with the arguments," he said.

Deaths Dollar Drops In Tokyo TOKYO (AP) Word of the huge U.S. trade deficit in July drove the dollar down nearly six yen at the start of trading on the Tokyo foreign exchange today. It recovered less than a yen to close at 189.725, 2.4 percent lower than Tuesday's closing rate. The drop, the biggest since the 1973 revaluation of the yen, came after similar action on the European and New York markets following the announcement that the American trade deficit in July was $2.99 billion, nearly double the June amount. The dollar fell 1.4 percent against the West German mark in Europe Tuesday, 2.4 percent against the Swiss franc and 1 percent against the French franc and continued its steep fall in later New York trading.

About $1.17 billion of the U.S. deficit came in trade with Japan, compared to 1 -billion deficits in both May and June.

Healy, an experienced labor troubleshooter, is being called in to try to resolve the Postal Service contract dispute that took the nation to the brink of a threatened mail strike this week. Healy, a Harvard University professor with extensive experience in labor-management mediation, was selected for the tough assignment on Tuesday. The choice was made by Wayne L.

Horvitz, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, who now bows out of the mediation effort. task is to seek agreement on a new contract for more than 500,000 postal workers that has eluded Postal Service and union negotiators since April 20. A tentative settlement was reached July 21 with help. The unions retained a prohibition on layoffs while management held the pay agreement to an average of 6.5 percent per year over three years. However, the agreement came unglued last week as members of all three unions refused to ratify it.

The two largest unions ordered their presidents to go back to the bargaining table and try to get more money. After refusing to renegotiate, the Postal Service gave in and agreed to 15 days of new bargaining. However, the Postal Service also won union agreement to binding arbitration on issues still unresolved after the 15 days. Celeste Critical Of Honda Plant Site COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Lt. Gov.

Richard F. Celeste, Democratic candidate for governor, said he does not think it was wise for the state to spend $8 million to attract a Honda motorcycle plant to Union County. Celeste, in a speech Monday before delegates and alternates for the 1978 Ohio Conference of Teamsters meeting in Columbus, said it would have been more productive to locate the plant where unemployment is high, such as the Cleveland, Akron or Youngstown areas. Union County, according to Celeste, has unemployment rate under 6 percent." He also said only about 1 percent of the population of Union County is black.

Apparently Jacob was a good wrestler, for the Man saw that He did not prevail against is obvious that Jacob was not wrestlinq with just another athele.

He was wrestling with God, and Jacob was winning. God's game plan did not call for Jacob winning, so God had to cripple him by dislocating his hip. Finally, in the struggle, God asked him, "What is your name He replied in the shock of realization, whispering, schemer, trickster, When Jacob realized who he was, the match was over, His name was changed to and God blessed him.
