Rockefeller
OKs Bill on
Death Law

ALBANY, N. Y, May 6 (AP)
The mandatory death pen
atty was on the way out in
New York State today in a
move that could lead to abol-
ishment of capital punishment
in the State.
A controversial bill lifting
the automatic death sentence
in premedltated murder and
kidnapping cases was among the
last group of measures ap-
proved by Gov. Nelson A,
Rockefeller on the eve of his
marriage.
The bill sets up a two-stage
trial procedure that will per-
NIT juries to decide first
whether an accused person is
guilty and, if so. then to de-
termine whether he should be
put to death. 1t will apply to
trials begun after July /.
The bill was the product Of
studies by the temporary State
commission on revision Of the
penal law. The group has been
examining the entire question
of capital punishment but has
said it is not ready yet to
recommend whether it should
be dropped or retained.

tagon, said he was deeply
honored" by the nomination
and then praised Admiral An
derson.
MY task will be made i'm
measurably easier" Admiral
Mcdonald said, because I in
herit an organization led by a
man whose professional COM
petence, dedication to Country
and Navy, moral integrity and
honesty are second to none"
Opposed Tx Decision
1t was common knowledge in
the Pentagon that Admiral An
derson was not really President
Kennedy's kind Of service chief.
He opposed Mr.. McNamara's IS
decision on the Tx fighter
plane, basically because the
Navy would not get the specific
airplane it wanted.
Since World War II, Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke has been the
only Chief on Naval Operations
to serve more than one term.
1t is therefore not a break in
custom to cut Admiral Ander-
son short at one term.
However, Admiral Anderson
was expected to be a leading
contender for the Craftsmanship
Of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
when the job falls open again.
Commanded 9Th Fleet
Admiral Mcdonald, 56, has
just completed two years as
commander of the 9Th Fleet.
He was appointed only last
month as commander-in-chie
| of United States Navy forces
lin Europe with additional duty
as commander in chief OF
American naval forces in the
Eastern Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean.
Admiral Mcdonald, whose
official residence is in Holly
wood, Fla, is married and the
father of two children.
A native Of MaySville, Ca,
he was appointed to the Naval
Academy in 1924. He was COM
missioned an ensign in 1928,
designated naval aviator in
1881, and promoted to the rank
Of fun admiral on April l this
year.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
What We Need:
Serendipity
By Dr.. Peter J. Steincrohn

Have you heard the word
"serendipity?" Although 1t is
gradually finding its way
into the language, 1t is not
yet in all dictionaries.
SEE IF YOU can guess its
definition from this medical
anecdote:
Most people know that in
sulin Is q life-saver for
diabetic patients. But how
did the Canadian investiga-
tors Drs. Banting and Best
know that the pancreas was
the source of a sugar-reg-
ulating mechanism? The hint
came long before.
Scientists Won Mehring and
Minkowski were intent on
other experiments when they
made this observation. They
noticed that the urine Of
dogs from which they had
removed the pancreas was at
tracing swarms Of flies. Flies
disdained the urine of dogs
which still retained the
pancreas. For them, this OBJ
servation and subsequent ex-
periments established the
connection between the pam
creas and diabetes mellitus.
This was serendipity in ac-
ton.
Now that we have begun,
let's try to finish the defini-
ton for serendipity. Ill call
for help.
I have been reading a de-
lightful little essay on the
word in the March issue Of
Archives Of Internal Medi-
cine" by E. p. Scarlett. M.
B., Calgary (Canada) Asso-
ciate Clinic. To quote:
This delightful word (se-
rendipity) which. incident
ally, I am pleased to find Is
coming into wider circu-
lation. is not a creation Of
Lewis Carroll, as was "jabber-
wocky." If you look UP your
oxford English dictionary,
you will find that 1t means
the faculty Of making happy
and unexpected discoveries
by accident The word was
coined by that alert book
man Of the world. H Grace
Walpole, from the ancient
name for Ceylon - Serendip,
and he discovered 1t In 1854
in the course Of reading q
fairy tale called THE Three
Princes Of Serendip.' TIL e
sentence that spanked the
word read: AS their high
nesses Travelled they were al
ways making discoveries. by
accident or sagacity, Of
things which they were not
in quest Of"
Then he mentions other
instances Of serendipity In
the course OF medicine such
as the discovery Of penicillin
by Sir Alexander Fleming
while Idly observing the mold
on an old bacterial plate.
TO QUOTE DR.. Scarlet
again: Meanwhile we might
all pray for more serendip-
ity In this life-both within
and without the avenues Of
medicine"

however, my wife and daugh-
ter and I were so fond Of
him that 1t didn't matter.
Butch was a member of our
household for all his II years,
and there was never q mo-
ment when he wasn't In COM
plete command.
Learned Lesson
In good weather and bad,
whether I felt like 1t or not,
I had to take Butch for q
walk every night before re-
firing. How far we went
and how long we stayed was
UP to him, not me. I learned
quickly that II we returned
too soon. I'd be sorry.
If my wife serves fried eggs
for breakfast and I don't feel
like eating fried eggs, I eat
them anyway. But Butch
would eat only what he
wanted to eat-and when he
wanted to eat It.
If I felt playful and Butch
didn't, we didn't play. But
If he wanted to play and I
didn't, we played anyhow.
The one time I took q firm
stand, he bit q hole In one
Of my best shoes.
Once, when I was writing
q piece for a magazine Butch
came into the room and
seated himself In front Of my
typewriter. I ignored his
stare and he cleared his
throat. I ignored that, too,
and he whined. Then he
moved closer and slapped my
knee. When that failed, he
stuck his head in my lap in
such a way as to make typ
ing impossible. I had no
choice but to stop work and
let him out.
Mealtime Ritual
But I'd no sooner returned
to my typewriter than he
wanted to come back in. Why
didn't I ignore him? I had

long since wearied Of repaint-
ing that front door.
Like most dogs, Butch was
fearful Of storms. One night
during an unusually severe
one, he was so frightened by
the thunder and lightning
that he managed somehow to
open our bedroom door-my
wife insists to this day that
he knew how to turn the
knob-and jumped into bed
with us. We ordered him out,
Of course, but he refused to
bulge. We begged, cajoled,
even threatened to cut off
his allowance Of milkbones
for a week, but he was
adamant. We wound up
sleeping in the guest room,
leaving Butch the sole occu-
pant of the master bed
room" And with a private
bath yet.
Speaking of milkbones -

morning and evening while
the family was at breakfast
