Odd Are Heavily Against Passage Of Critical Measure ' A bill to abolish capital punish ment in North Carolina cleared one legislative hurdle Tuesday when it was approved by the House Judiciary 2 Committee. It now heads for the House floor where similar measures have been killed in the past two leg islative sessions. However, sponsors of the meas ure are a trifle more hopeful of success this time since Gov. Bob Scott and other top state officials have come out (publicly in favor of eliminating the death penalty in North Carolina. But odds are still heavily against the measure which won the support of only 41 of the 120 House votes two years ago and only 26 votes four years ago. The Judiciary Committee hand ed the bill a favorable report af ter discussing the issue at length and after hearing a strong: plea by one of its sponsors, Rep. How ard Twiggs, D-Wake. Twiggs repeated all the famili ar arguments against the tileath penalty. He argued first that cap ital punishment does not prevent capital crime and pointed out that five states which have abolished capital punishment have the low est rate of capital crimes and five states with capital punishment have the highest. Before handing the bill a favor able report, the committee defeat ed a motion by Rep. Henry Boah araer, D-Carteret, to report it without prejudice. i - .
