Duffin, 510 Broadway Bldg. Defen dam counsel: David W. Slagle, Continental Bank Bldg. The Supreme Court recently banned capital punishment as prescribed under existing laws. Kleindienst, in his first press conference at the Justice Department since he becamfe Attorney General, said generally he felt the death penalty was not a deterrent to crime, but he said he felt the capital punishment was justified in certain serious crimes such as skyjackings. Asked if the administration would submit legislation to Congress to legalize die death penalty in certain cases, Kleindienst replied: I believe so. He said the legislation would make the death penalty full-fledg- See details page 3.

He also refused to discuss the Watergate case in which political operatives of President Nixon allegedly bugged the Democratic National Headquarters. Kleindienst said an order by U.S. Judge John Author Claims Burger Backed Court Candidate WASHINGTON (UPI) - We granted certiorari to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, 449 F. 2d 871 (1971), affirming the District Courts dismissal of petitioners complaint challenging the consti701 et seq. tutionality of New York Election Laws (1971). 405 U.

However, respondents brief states that on May 3, 1972, the qualified voters of the respondent school district elected by majority vote to assess a tax for the purchase of all textbooks for grades one through six in the schools of the district. In light of this fact, and given the suggestion at oral argument that the books themselves have a life expectancy of five years, the judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York to determine whether this case has become moot.

Kohlmeier, a Pulitzer prizewinner for the Wall Street Journal a few years ago, said the recommendation of Friday, who was held not qualified by the American Bar Association, was part of an administration pattern to break down separation of powers. His acquaintanceship with (then Attorney General John A. Mitchell) may have helped, but Friday was selected to go to the Supreme Court because he was recommended by Blackmun and Burger, Kohlmeier said. Washington-Ne- Sirica prohibited him from commenting on the case. Kleindienst repeatedly dodged direct answers to a number .of questions implying political over- to Justice tones Department decisions involving Democrats and Republicans and the 1972 elections. At one point he said the Justice Department was not looking further into the case of Donald Segrettf, one of die alleged conspirators in the Watergate bugging case. Kleindienst said there was no indication Mr. Segretti engaged in any conduct in violation of federal law. The Attorney General also said the Justice Department (fid not plan to re-tr-y the Chicago Seven defendants on the substantive charges on which they were originally convicted but which were upset on appeal; but he said the government would seek to try die defendants on contempt charges.
