Proposed laws .to reimpose capital punishment are being pre- pared for consideration at the winter meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General here. Oklahoma Atty. Gen. Larry Derryberry, chairman of an 11- member volunteer group which worked out suggested laws to be taken back by the states attorney general, said: “I think we will find that perhaps all of them, plus our friends from the Virgin Islands and Guam, recommend that the death penalty be an available punishment for the states that decide to have it.” A few attorneys general, in cluding those from Idaho and Alaska, oppose reinstating the death penalty. The head of the national asso ciation, Atty. Gen. Gary K. Nel son of Arizona, said the group decided to take the lead because “the vast majority of the public, even higher than the public opin ion polls say, favor the death penalty in certain kinds of cases.” Derryberry said eight or 10 states now prohibit all capital punishment, but “we think even those states would favor the availability of it.” Atty. Gen. Clarence A. H. Mey er of Nebraska, who has served several years as chairman of the association’s Criminal Law Com mittee, agreed. He said in an in terview : “The people in the states are going to insist that it’s going to be restored.” But Idaho Atty. Gen. Tony Park said he doubts capital pun ishment will ever be reinstated generally. “In addition to the humanitarian aspects, I don’t be lieve it to be a deterrent,” he said. A member of Derryberry’s com mittee, Alabama Atty. Gen. Wil liam J. Baxley, said he “very much” favors the death penalty but added: “In some certain times in the past we have abused capital punishment nationwide in that only black people, poor peo ple and disadvantaged people would actually go to the electric chair.” STORE WIDE SAVINGS!/^ a SKAGGS ALBERTSONS GS & FOODS CUT FROM U.S.D.A.

AT COLLEGE AVE By STEVE GRAYSON Joe Goodag tapped his foot im patiently as he waited for his date, Susie Sweetlips, to finish using the lounge rest room. Hearing the toilet flush, signal ing Susie’s imminent return, Joe glanced at his watch and noticed there was only an hour of open house left. “Have to work fast,” Joe whispered to himself, and then smelling his own words, sil- by Steve Grayson ently cussed the Whataburger man for failing to cut the onions. Entering Joe’s dorm, he and Susie climbed the stairs rapidly, Susie struggling to keep up with Joe’s hurried pace. Once in his room, Joe quickly shut the door, dimmed the lights and flipped the stereo on. Suddenly the room was filled with the enraptured squeals of Wilson Pickett’s “Sat isfaction.” Joe gave the dial a twist and Alice Cooper and the Fairies shrieked forth. Another turn and Donnie Osmond poured his little heart out. Even as Joe’s sweaty fingers fervently grab bed at the radio dial, he realized it was too late; he’d blown it again. From Susie Sweetlip’s sweet lips came the dreaded but all too familiar words, “You’re such a zero, Joe. Take me home!” Joe Goodag’s only mistake was not having the proper music. The type of music in the air can set the mood better than any longing gazes or worn-out phrases ever could. The number of people who pro duce digestable, romantic mood music is small. Carol Kinff and James Taylor have had some nice stuff, as have Cat Stevens and the Carpenters. But for total album concept, the Mystic Moods Orchestra is the best. Mystic Moods produces the basic orchestra sound but with several unique additions. A drum trap set is used on many of their songs, which are often past Top 40 tunes. A guitar occasionally lends its voice to the accompani ment of the violins. But the main thing Mystic Moods has going for them is their use of nature’s own sounds. This began with “Stormy Night,” M. M.’s first album. Its music was set to the patter of rain, occasionally punctuated by thunderclaps. “Stormy Week end” followed next, along these same lines. “Nitetide,” their third and, to date, best album, fea tures a lonely train whistle, chirping crickets, horses gallop ing, frogs croaking, and an im passioned salamander’s mating call, beside their rainstorm bit. After “Nitetide” things get jumbled as to what comes next because Mystic Moods changed recording companies. Warner Bros., its new one, has re-released most of its old stuff in new packages, but the group also came out with three or four new M.M. albums in quick succession. There are now about 10 Mystic Moods albums. The trend in them has been towards original compositions and increased em phasis on the woodwind rather than string sections. The latest is “Highway 21.” It is all orig inal material and features Rod McKuen-like thoughts read by a Rod McKuen-like voice. If you’re interested in trying the Mystic Moods out pick up one of their two “Stormy” albums or “Nitetide.” “Stormy Weekends” version of “Come Saturday Morn ing” has a combination of harp- sicord and thunderstorm that’s sweet enough to be the sound track for the “Romeo and Juliet” love scene. But whatever record you start with, be sure and buy two copies. Like the cover of “Nitetide” says, who wants to get up to turn the record over. bOb M£S "Speed on the highway usually has only one end zone ... an accident. Try driving friendly.
