Nick Begich Monday. “We assume that the airplane is down,” a Federal Aviation Ad ministration spokesman said. The twin-engine plane, carry ing four persons, was due to land at Juneau at 5:30 p.m. EDT on a nonstop flight from Anchorage, where Boggs had been campaign ing for Begich. The plane would have run out of fuel at 8 p.m., the FAA spokes man said. There was no radio contact with the plane after the pilot filed a flight plan 12 minutes after take-off from Anchorage, he added. The flight plan called for vi sual flight rules and followed the rugged Alaska coast, lined with mountains 5,000 to 7,000 feet high. “There could be many circum stances, like a malfunctioning ra dio or being out of radio range, that could cause us to lose con- Correction The “Battalion” erroneously re ported that Student Senator Steve Wakefield voted against joining the National Student Lobby.

A search of airfields where the plane might have landed turn ed up no sign of the aircraft. In Anchorage, a spokesman for the National Tiansportation Safe ty Board said, “Some have sug gested because it was a campaign AUSTIN, Tex. <A>>—A rule in the Texas Constitution killed a bill reinstating the death penalty in certain murder cases Monday night. Senators tentatively approved such a bill Monday, but the con stitutional point raised in the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee will block final action on the measure. Texas’ Constitution says no bill can be considered that was not approved by a legislative commit tee at least three days before the close of a session. The current special session must adjourn by midnight Tuesday, and the meas- ure considered by the Senate was not acted on in committee until Monday morning. Rep. Tom Moore of Waco'raised the point in the House committee, trip they may have stopped along the way but we have no reason to believe that and really don’t.” The FAA spokesman said the plane, a Cessna 310, carried crash- location equipment but no signal had been received. The other persons aboard the plane were Russell Brown, an administrative assistant to Beg ich, and the pilot, Don E. Jonz. and chairman Frank Calhoun of Abilene upheld it. The measure, as it advanced in the Senate, would have permitted the death penalty in cases of murder for hire; murder of prison guards; intentional homicide dur ing a kidnapping, burglary, rob bery arson or rape; murder of policemen or firemen; murder with “extreme atrocity or cruel ty;” and slaying committed dur ing prison escapes. The Senate eliminated murder with “deliberate premeditation” and second offense murder as crimes for which death could be imposed. The U.S. Supreme Court recent ly struck down the Texas death penalty as currently applied, with several justices commenting on the penalty’s random application. Death Penalty Bill Killed By Constitutional Ruling When this 25-year-old researcher wanted to investigate a possible cancer treatment we gave him the go-ahead. ’ We also gave him the right to fail. At Kodak, it’s not unusual for a 25-year-old like Jim Carroll to win the title of senior research physicist. Like any company involved in a lot of basic research, Kodak has felt the pressure of modern technology and the need for young, fresh thinking. So we hire the best talent we possibly can, and then give them as much responsibility as they can han dle. Whatever their age. We have departments and divisions, like any company. What we don’t have are preconceived ideas about how an expert scientist’s time should be spent. So when we received a request from the medical community for assistance in ex perimenting with lasers as a possible cancer treatment, we turned to 25-year-old Jim Carroll, who is deep in laser tech- nology, and gave him the go-ahead. He built two half-billion watt laser systems, one of which Kodak has donated to the National Institute of Health. The lasers proved unsuccessful in treating cancer, but we’d make the same decision all over again. We entered laser technology because we have a stake in business. We let a young researcher help the medical community look for a means of cancer treatment because we have a stake in the future of mankind. To put it another way, we’re in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own needs, we have often fur thered society’s. After all, our business depends on our soci ety. So we care what happens to it.
