9 Beck Measure
To End Mandatory
Provision in Code
BY GRACE BASSETT
star stan Writer

Nine Republican Senators to-
day introduced legislation to
abolish mandatory capital pun
ishment in the District.
Quick action is expected. The
measure. offered as q guide
for action" has the support Of
the District Judicial Confer
ence and United States At
torney Oliver Gasch.
House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Celler, Democrat of
New York, also has gone on
record in favor of q ban on
mandatory death penalties for
persons convicted Of first-de-
gree murder here.
Judge Would Decide
Senator Heating, Republican
Of New York. gave the proposal
to the Senate. 1t provides that
punishment for murder in the
first degree shall be death by
electrocution unless the Jury
recommends life imprisonment.
II the jury urges life i'm
prisonment. the sentencing
judge may either follow this
recommendation or send the
defendant to the electric chair.
Under present District law,
death is the automatic punish
ment in all first-degree MUIR
der cases. regardless Of the
facts and circumstances.
Il believe that such rigid
justice is self-defeating," Sen
ator Heating said.
Code Revision Asked
Mandatory capital punish
ment has been abolished in all
Of the States" he added. 1T
is high time that the District
of Columbia code is attuned to
the practice in the rest Of the
country"
Today's proposal was pat
termed after the New York
Criminal Code. There, q jury
recommendation of life i'm
priSonment is not binding on
the court. But Senator Heating
pointed out that in practice
the recommendation is almost
always followed.
Another procedure advanced
by the American Law Institute
requires a separate hearing on
the death penalty after q jury
enters a guilty verdict. Sena-
tor Heating admitted that this
system has the possible adj
vantage of permitting evidence
on the issue Of punishment
which might not be admissible
in the trial Of the actual Of

United States, Britain and

Minister Andrea A. Gromyko at
Mr.. Gromyko's villa in mid
Afternoon.
Their session continued &c.
lcret talks which opened here
Friday in an effort to find q
formula for averting q mill
tary showdown over Berlin and
clearing the way to a summit
conference.
The Vests Big Three still
expect the Russians to agree
not to disturb the status Of
West Berlin despite Premier
Nikita 8. Khrushchev's declara.
ton that he won't bargain for
o settlement.
Critical Questions Asked
In the secret talks, Western
diplomats said today, the West
ern powers are trying to get
replies from Mr.. Gromyko to
two critical questions:
/. What are his conditions
for a Berlin settlement?
2. Is he qualified to negotiate
and sign a Berlin agreement
here or Is he simply instructed
TO narrow differences in order
70 prepare for q summit con-
ference?
Mr.. Herter. Mr.. Lloyd and
Mr.. Couve de MurviIle, in other
words. are trying to get moving
ION detailed negotiations for Q
Berlin formula.
The Western powers have
told the Soviet minister that
any Berlin settlement must
guarantee use Of the supply
lines across East Germany to
West Berlin. The West is re.
ported ready to try to eliminate
some activities in West Berlin
which the Russians have de-
nounced as cold war Sub.
versive activities" But they
want any limitations imposed
on East and West Berlin alike.
Western Principles
At a secret session Saturday,
Western informants said, Mr..
Herter made q statement to Mr..
Gromyko Of three Western
principles which he said must
be embraced in any new Berlin
formula:
l. The United States, Britt
ain and France have the right
to maintain troops in Berlin.
(The present crisis started last
November when Mr.. Khru-
shchev demanded withdrawal
Of Western troops.) |
2. The Western powers must
have the right Of free access to |
West Berlin across East Ger. |
man territory. !
8. The West does not and will
not recognize the East German
Communist regime.
GrOmyko Replies
To this Mr.. Gromyko is re.
ported to have replied that he
had a set Of principles. also:
/. Western troops must get
out Of Berlin or let Soviet
troops into the Western Sec
tor.
2. No Berlin solution will be
considered that would apply
to East Berlin-for example.
