Four-year-old Laurie Watkins found out Saturday that a toy stuffed dog is just about as nice as the real thing, even it if doesn't bark out loud. Laurie found "Butch," a prize Boston bulldog, curled up Friday in the carport of her house at 315 South 16th St., just as if he was a prize from Santa. But her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack N. Watkins, chose to inform city police of the find, and Satur day, the Harold Heaths of Seattle showed up to claim the pooch as theirs. But Laurie still got her dog. The Heaths gave her a stuffed-loy dog as a reward. She said she'd call him "Butch." By BOB THOMAS The case concerns a woman who has been called Eve White, a quiet, melancholy wife who suf fered violent headaches and am nesia. During .those times, she turned into Eve Black, a wise cracking, fun-loving girl who liked to do the things Eve White thought were wrong. The conflict of the two person allies wrecked her marriage and threatened her sanity. During the course of her therapy, a third per sonality came out. She was Jane, a cultured, well-adjusted individu al. Jane won out over the two Eves, and the woman is now re married and happy. As a guide for her role, Joanne has actual films recording Eve's personality transitions during in terviews by doctors. It is fascinat ing to watch as the Georgia wom an switches abruptly from a meek, soft spoken housewive to a flip talking pleasure girl. That's the way the switches will be done in the 20th Century-Fox movie, with out the .Icckyll-Hydc theatrics. How. did Joanne come so far so fast? Ambition had a lot to do with it. She wanted to be an actress as far back as she can remember in her Thomasville, Ga., youth. ".My brother got the measles and 1 substituted for him in giving the pledge of allegiance at a pro gram when I was 3," she recalled. "The audience clapped and clapped, and they had trouble get ting me off the stage, I loved it so." After a couple of years in L.S.U., she fulfilled her ambition to assault New York. She studied at the nciehborhoof Playhouse, did a lot of TV Dick Powell showed one of her TV films to 201h-Fox boss Buddy Adler, and the studio gave her a contract.

Strong Protestant drives are now underway in New York, Cal ifornia and Massachusetts. In each of these states, Protestant church councils have adopted res- Lions declaring that capital punishment is contrary to Chris tian principles, and have appealed to the legislatures to do away with it. . Similar bills 'are being pressed in at least a dozep other . state legislatures this year, with vary ing degrees of church endorse ment. Six states already have banned capital punishment. They are Michigan, Rhode Island, Wiscon sin, Maine, Minnesota and North Dakota. The Massachusetts Council of Churches cites the experience of these states as an answer to the main argument usually advanced for continuing capital punishment: that it serves as a deterrent to murder and other grave crimes. There has been no indication, Massachusetts churchmen said, that the homicide rate has gone up in any of the states that now limit punishment of criminals to life imprisonment. The religious argument against the death penalty was stated suc cinctly by the Legislative Com mittee of the New York State Council of Churches: "We hold that life is the gift of God and should not be de stroyed by an individual or state." California movement In California, the church cam paign has been spearheaded by the Rev. William A. Gilbert, now an Episcopal rector at Ventura, but formerly chaplain of the Washington Stole Penitentiary. Gilbert, who has walked "the last itiit Carried Away by Rock 'n' Roll 3? PI HSP 1 Death Penalty Abolition mile" with a dozen condemned men, list three reasons for his vigorous opposition to the death penalty: 1. It is grossly unfair in actual operation. Murderers who can af ford costly defense counsel and numerous court appeals often es cape the death chamber; unfor tunates with neither money or influential friends are the ones who are actually executed. 2. It is contrary io Christian concepts of how to treat offend ers because "its object is to end the criminal rather than Io mend him." Murderers, Gilbert believes are "among the best risks for re habilitation" if sentenced to life imprisonment rather than to the electric chair or gas chamber. 3. Snuffing out a human life, even in the name of the law. has a bad effect on attorneys, judges, jurors, prison officers who carry out the sentences, ana tne rel atives of both the condemned man and the victim. Beyond this, says Gilbert. "The degrading ef fects sa via and me and on the rest sf society must not be over looked. It 15 our law, our court, our gas chamber, our rope." Not Unanimous Although there is growing oppo sition to capital punishment in church circles, it is still far from a unanimous sentiment.

(AP Wirephoto). , . . some bishops of the Church of England were among those who opposed the move. They took the position that the greatest crime taking human life deserved the greatest punishment, In this country, there are many Protestants who believe that cap ital punishment, however repug nant to Christian mercy, may be in the same "necessary evil" category as defensive war. ' The Roman Catholic Church has never taken a doctrinal stand against capital punishment and has not been involved in the church campaigns against It in this country, Thirty nations besides Britain have outlawed capital punish ment. Its use has been declining in the United Slates in recent years even in jurisdictions where it is still authorized federal offi cials estimate that the total num. ber of executions In this country has averaged about 80 a year since 1950, compared to a prewar average of over 100, More than fhrcc-fourtbs sf the U, S. executions result Stem first degree murder convictions, with rapo convictions accounting for most of the rest. What constitutes a capital crime varies from stale to state. Georgia lists 14 crimes punishable by death; many slates limit the su preme penalty to first-degree murder.
