A Friday, June" 12, 1959 Drive Against Death Penalty Gains Support By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International A campaign to abolish the death penalty is gaining strong support from U.S. re ligious bodies. ' . . The latest big denomina tion to enlist in the drive is the United Presbyterian church. Delegates to ; the re cent Presbyterian General Assembly at Indianapolis, Ind, voted overwhelmingly for a resolution declaring that capital punishment "cannot be condoned" by the Christian conscience. Other major Protestant and Jewish organizations which have come out against the death penalty include the Protestant Episcopal church, the American Baptist Conven tion, the Society of Friends Quakers, the Central Con ference of American Rabbis, the Protestant Council of the City of New York, the Massa chusetts Council of Churches and the greater Chicago Fed eration of Churches. To Study Question The Union American He brew Congregations, princi pal voice of reform Judaism, has asked x its members to study and debate the ques tion with a view toward tak ing a stand at their general assembly next November. Strong sentiment against the death, penalty also has been expressed in Methodist and Lutheran .churches and may result in official state ments from their next na tional meetings. The U.S. Catholic hier archy has not spoken out so far. Catholic teaching has traditionally upheld the right of the state to protect itself against serious crimes. But many Catholics believe it is not necessary to put offenders to death to protect society. The power of kings and judges to . condemn men to death for certain crimes is older than recorded history. In earlier times, such execu tions were frankly regarded as vengeance against the crim inal. But as Judaeo-Christian teachings permeated Western civilization, the rationale for capital punishment shifted. Fear of Death . The main argument made for it today is that fear of being sent to the gallows or the electric chair or gas cham ber deters many potential murderers, rapists and arson ists from crimes they would otherwise commit. Opponents say there is no evidence that capital punish ment actually has such a de terrent effect. They point out that the death penalty already has been abolished in every country of Western Europe ex cept France and Britain, and in nine states of this country Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. None of these places has experienced an in crease in serious crime. The West Virginia and New Jersey legislatures this year rejected church - sponsored bills to abolish capital punish ment. The legislatures of Massa chusetts, Illinois, Tennessee, Florida and Ohio have dis played a marked lack of en thusiasm for abolition bills even though they had strong church backing.
