A police spokesman at Newbury-

ry death laws had "simply papered
over the problem of unguided and un-
checked jury discretion."
The vote striking down the laws in
Louisiana and North Carolina was
5-4 with Justices Brennan, Marshall.
Lewis F. Powell Jr., and John Paul
Stevens, joining Stewart m the ma-
jority.
Stewart said North Carolina had
not provided adequate standards for
juries to use in deciding whether to
find a defendant guilty of one of its
specified categories of capital mur-
der
The North Carolina law, he said,
"treats all persons convicted of a
designated offense not as uniquely
individual human beings, but as
members of a faceless, undifferen-
tiated mass to be subjected to the
blind infliction of the penalty of
death."

Supreme Court decision."
"We are telling them merely that
the Supreme Court has ruled that

tutional cruel and unusual punish-
ment in all cases, and that the ruling

states and struck It down in other
states.
"We are telling them that the at-
torney general wants to read the
opinion in full before there is any
comment on what impact this has on
«s in Oklahoma," Crisp said.
Crisp and other officials said they
understand that five of the 35 Death
Row inmates have exhausted all of
their appeals "except the Supreme
Court." and therefore might be sub-
ject to execution at an early date if
the Supreme Court ruling applies to
their cases.
All of the Death Row inmates now
are under indefinite stays of execu-
tion pending various appeals, with
the exception of Fred Wisbon of
Chief Justice Warren E. Burger
and Justices White. Blackmon and
William H. Rehnquist dissented.
In an opinion by White, the dissen-
ters rejected arguments that the dis-
cretion. left to prosecutors, juries,
judges and others by the mandatory
laws, made them just as offensive as
the laws which the court struck
down in 1972.
Today's decision was the first Su-
preme Court decision on the death
penalty since 1972, when the court
ruled 5 to 4 that laws then on the
books gave too much discretion to
judges and juries. That decision in-
validated death penalty laws of 36
states, the District of Columbia and
the federal government.
In the aftermath ol the 1972 deci-
sion. 35 states re-enacted the death
penalty. But in one of them — Illi-
nois — the law was struck down by
the state supreme court.
New laws in 20 states made the
death penalty mandatory for a limit-
ed number of crimes. Fourteen other
states enacted laws employing var-
ious formulas calling for judges and
juries to consider aggravating and
mitigating circumstances.
Most of the new laws impose capi-

Americans in the labor force were

That May was the worst unem-
ployment month of the recent reces-
sion.
By May a year later, the jobless
rate had dropped to 73 per cent,
when 6.9 million Americans in the
labor force were jobless.
Although Ford administration
economists had said the jobless rate
could rise in June because of a sta-
tistical quirk. Labor Department an-
alysts said no quirk was involved.
They said agency statistics, in-
cluding seasonal adjustment factors
to compensate for teen-age summer upheld the death penalty in

Boren was not available for
commment, but other officials said
Boren probably would grant further
stays if the attorney general con-
cludes that Oklahoma's law still is in
question, or if further appeals are
filed.
Oklahoma County Dist. Atty. An-
drew M. Coats said he believes the
Oklahoma law lies "somewhere be-
tween the Florida and Georgia laws"
which were upheld by the high court,
"and it may be that we are okay."
"But this may not be the end of
the matter, as we all hoped it would
be." Coats continued.
"We may have to modify our stat-
ute, or the Supreme Court may have
to consider the statutes from each
state."
Coats said the situation can be
summed up in one word: "Confu4
sion."
employment, have been accurate so
far and that the June rise in unem-
ployment was precisely that: a rise
in unemployment.
For the first time in several
months, the nation's labor force
stopped growing in June, remaining
at the May level of about 94.6 mil-
lion.
The Labor Department also said
there was not much change in the
number of so-called discouraged
workers, who totaled about 900,000
during the second quarter of the
year.
Discouraged workers are people
who have given up looking for jobs
and thereby removed themselves
from the nation's labor force.

One of Berrong's biggest frustra-

Court upholds death penalty
popular vote.
Congress passed a law providing
the death penalty for aggravated
cases of air piracy resulting in
death. The death penalty has not *
been imposed under this law.
Since 1930, when reliable count
was first kept, 3.859 persons have
been executed.
The cases before the Supreme
Court Involved six men charged with
murders in Florida, Louisiana, Tex-
as. Georgia and North Carolina be-
tween 1973 and 1974. The six were
among 76 death row inmates who
asked the Supreme Court to review
their cases.
In his opinion, Stewart said the im-
position of the death penalty for
murder "has a long history of ac-
ceptance both in the United States
and In England," and was obviously
accepted by the framers of the Con-
stitution.
He said that the death penalty is
not under all circumstances a viola-
tion of the constitutinal ban against
cruel and unusual punishment, and
that the Georgia law satisfied the re-
quirements which the high court out-
lined in its 1972 decision.
The Georgia law was signed in
1973 by then Gov. Jimmy Carter,
now the almost-certain Democratic
nominee for president.
