Illinois Moves To
Restore Death Penalty
CLAIMS CONNECTION WITH WATERGATE, MIDWAY CRASH Legal Researcher Missing
SPRINGFIELD III. (AP) Legislation to restore the death penalty in Illinois was approved * by the House yesterday and sent to the Senate. A bill to require putting to death of persons convicted of murdering prison guards and employes received 110-36 approval, and a measure making capital punishment mandatory for the crime of murder-rape was passed, 98-39. Both were sponsored by Rep. Jacob John Wolf, R-Chicago/
Opponents argued that the House was wasting its time in even considering the bills because they would be declared unconstitutional, as were all other stdte death penalty statutes, by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court ruling, in the view of some attorneys, leaves leeway for enactment of death penalty laws by the states provided that they are not applied arbitrarily. Wolf led the 40-minute de-
bate, telling foes of the measure: “If you have a hangup about killing. 1 suggest it could be directed at the victims, rather than hanging out the crying towel for the criminals.” Rep. Webber Borchers RDecatur, told the House he did not want his tax money spent to keep Richard Speck, convicted slayer of eight nurses, alive. “I resent that this man is living at my expense and will be
for 40 or 30 years more," Borchers declared. “He has free meals, a roof over his head and television privileges. And I hear he has been taking up painting and selling the paintings at S500 a throw.” 1 he Wolf bills were not approved b> the House judiciary committee, which held hearings on them. However, the whole House voted last week to discharge the measures from the committee.

Prater’s Lawyer Hopes For Retrial
Illinois Representative
Indicted On Evasion
SPRINGFIELD 111. (AP) State Rep. William D. Cox, RCharleston, has been excused tempora-rily at his own request as majority whip of the Illinois House because of his indictment on charges of falsifying federal income tax returns. Speaker W. Robert Blair, RPark Forest, announced the action Monday, saying he did it reluctantly. Federal authorities had announced Cox • was indicted Friday on charges he had reported only $83,407 income for the years 1968 through 1971 when he should have reported $110,201. Cox was accused in the indictiment of receiving $15,660 of about $17,000 in state money paid to Pauline Monier of Charleston for secretarial services which federal authorities said she did not perform.
Cox said he was “in the dark” as to why he was indicted. In a statement, he blamed the action on complexities of determining what money was personal income and what was campaign contributions. Earlier Monday, Cox had said in a statement he would not resign either as a legislator nor as a party leader. Blair said a letter later received from Cox was not inconsistent with this because the letter asked that Cox be temporarily excused from his duties as whip because of the time he would need to give to his defense. Cox also said he made the request “because 1 do not want to permit anyone to cast a shadow. intentional or otherwise, over any member of the House leadership as a result of their
Youth’s Complaint Results In Federal Fine For Tester
WASHINGTON (AP) — Last November 12-year-old John Malachowsky of West Babylon, N.Y. complained to the federal Price Commission that a fourcent increase for a bottle of model airplane paint violated President Nixon’s Phase 2 controls on prices. “This is only four cents but being only \2Vi years old, this is a big strain on my allowance,” Malachowsky wrote. The increase, from 15 cents to 19 cents for. a quarter-ounce bottle' of enamel paint, figured out to a jump of more than 26 per cent in the price of the paint. Monday that four cents had mushroomed to nearly a third of a piillion dollars. 4 Tester Corp. of Rockford, 111., the manufacturer of the model paint, agreed to a total price reduction equal to $312,879.55 which the Justice Department said it overcharged customers when it increased the price of the paint. The company also agreed to pay a $5,000 fine. Testor denied any violation of the government’s price controls, but said it agreed to the
settlement to avoid the time and expense of court action. The Justice Department said the four-cents-a-bottle increase resulted in additional revenues of $312,879.55 to Testor. Under the settlement, the company will reduce the price of a package of paint low enough and long enough to permit its customers a total price reduction equal to the overcharge.

ERIE I’a. (AP) William J. lYater’s attorney says the former United Mine Workers organi/er found guilty of murder in the Yablonski slayings hopes he will win a new trial and reversal of his conviction. Prater, accused of helping to plot and finance the 1969 slayings of UMW reformist Joseph A. Yablonski and Yablonski’s wife and daughter, was convicted Monday night on three counts of first-degree murder one for each of the victims. Richard Sprague. special state prosecutor in the case, had assorted in court earlier that the murders grew out of a chain of events set in motion by former UMW President W. A. “lony” Boyle, Yablonski’s union archrival.
Boyle has not been charged m the killings. He has steadfastly maintained that he knows nothing about them. An Erie County Court jury of seven men and five women returned its vecdict against Prater alter b 1 /’ hours of deliberation. climaxing a three-week trial. Under Pennsylvania law. Prater will face a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. Prater, of LaFollette, Tenn., remained tight-faced and rigid as the verdict was read, displaying only tenseness. His wife Maxine, red-eyed but not crying, craddlcd the couple’s 12-year-old daughter Ann in her arms as the verdict was announced. The youngster, one of seven Prater children.
had begun weeping even before the verdict was read. “There were no surprises, just disappointment,” H. Umd Rothman, Prater’s attorney, said after the verdict was announced.

An aide said he returned directly to his motel room and went to bed. Sprague had said in his closing argument that the state "is on the move in this case and we’re getting there.”
