In the most recent survey, conducted last November, ef per cent of respondents fa- vored the death penalty for the killing of a policeman or prison guard. The figure was 73 per cent in February, 1981, and 70 per cent in Oc- tober, 1979. Last November, 69 ‘per cent favored the death pen- alty for the killing of any in- nocent person. The figure was 67 per cent in 1981 and 68 per cent in 1979. The latest results also showed 74 per cent favor the death penalty for terrorists, compared to 74 per cent in 1981 and 71 per cent in 1979. Gallup says people under 30, women and those with some university education are less likely than others to favor the death penalty. Respondents were asked: “Do you favor or oppose DUNWOODY & CO.

Catherine Parrett, des- cribed.as being mentally il, was not in the’ courtroom Friday when Municipal Judge Stephen Schaefer granted her lawyer's motion to drop the case. Parrett, $3, was arrested Dec. 27-by police after al- legedly shoplifting $50 worth of cosmetics from a super- market. During her 46 days in the King County jail, she re- ceived drugs from the psy- chiatric staff. Only on, Wed- nesday did Parrett. tall jail staff that she never had been arraigned — even though she was entitled to a court.ap- pearance the day after her arrest, said Irving Paul, her court-appointed lawyer. After a brief investigation, county officials said Parrett’s name never was entered into the court computer system and never appeared on the arraignment calendar.
