Death Penalty
Responsibility
Shift Backed
Plan Supported
Overwhelmingly
At Senate Hearing

Judges, not juries, would
bear the primary responsibility
for ordering the execution OF
convicted first-degree murder
ers in the District under legis-
lation supported overwhelm-
ingly at a Senate hearing
today.
This division Of responsible
ity was written into a bill to
abolish the mandatory death
sentence here as a realistic"
means Of gaining passage
Failure to agree on how to
place the burden blocked con-
gressional action in the last
Congress.
The Judicial Conference un-
til now has strongly supported
Legislation to make life i'm
priSonment the basic penalty
for first-degree murder, unless
the jury imposes the death
penalty. In such a case, the
court could agree on death or
send murderers to prison for
life.
Jury Role Explained
Today, Senate judiciary
Su b C ON mittee Chairman
Hartke, Democrat Of Indiana,
heard testimony in favor of a
bill to make death the basic
penalty.
Juries. by unanimous vote
could reduce the sentence to
life imprisonment. If Jurors
made no sentence recommen-
dation, the penalty would have
to be death. If, on the other
hand. jurors reported to the
judge that they could not
agree. the judge would decide
whether or not to impose the
death penalty.
Thus juries could mitigate
the penalty in first-degree
murder cases. but judges would
be called on to impose death if
the jury hesitated.
Municipal Court Judge De
Witt S. Hyde, representing the
Judicial Conference for the Dis
trict Of Columbia circuit, Joined
Oliver GaSch. chairman Of the
District Law Enforcement
Council; c. Beldon White, as
SiStant corporation counsel,
and James A. Wiley. first vice
president Of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, in sup
porting the new Senate version.
1t Is almost identical to a bill
cleared by the House last year.
Bar Views Presented
Joseph Sitnick. representing
the Bar Association Of the Dis
trict. said his members prefer
the basic penalty of life i'm
prisonment to death. with the
burden on the juries more than
on judges.
Senator Hartke said that was
his personal preference, too,
but that he was interested in
getting action on abolition Of
the District law-the only stat
ute remaining in the United
States with a mandatory death
penalty for first-degree murder.

reaching this objective.
The coming section in ques-
ton deals with developments or
tracts Of at least five acres
The idea Is to encourage con-
struction Of well-planned shop
ping centers, large-scale resi-
Dental developments and other
zoning categories and combina-
tionS.
This coming section has beer
on the books since 1858, al
though it first set a 10-acrt
minimum development size
This was reduced to five acres
earlier this year in an effort
to make 1t a more realistic at
traction.
New Role Proposed
The most controversial Of the
proposed amendments aired al
today's hearing in the District
Building would give the Boarc
of Zoning Adjustment a key
role in the process and approval
of specific items in development
plans.
This board, which now han
dies requests for exemptions tt
coming regulations, would come
into the picture on the large
scale developments after a plar
was approved by the National
Capital Planning Commission

Raw Fish Tax Tor 1860
Estimated at $1,746,343

JUNEAU Up - Alaska's share
of the 1860 salmon pack, through
the Raw Fish Tax, will amount
to approximately S1,746,343, the
State Department of Revenue esti-
mated today.
The exact figure won't be
known until late March or early
April, when all raw fish taxes
will have been collected.
The estimate would place the
year 1860 in seventh place in the
amount or raw fish taxes collected
by the state annually during the
10 years starting in 1851.
The department said the esti-
mate was made by using the 1859
price schedule and the prelimin-
airy pack figures for 1860. 1t ap-
pears, the department said, that
the average wholesale price for
1860, on which the tax is based
will be about the same as the 1853
figure, approximately S23 a case
