Brooks Patterson addressed an audience of almost 200 people at the Union last night urging their support in his drive to have the death penalty reinstated in Michigan. Patterson, who is a candidate for the upcoming gubernatorial race, said he presently has half of the 320,000 signatures needed by June, 1982, to have the issue submitted to the public on the November, 1982 ballot. Patterson said he began the drive two years ago. THE OAKLAND County Prosecutor told the crowd that although he realizes the death penalty would not eliminate crime altogether, it would serve as a deterrent. "Nobody is going to tell you they're going to stop all homicide, but if we can stop some person, it's going to be a net gain for you and I," Patterson said. He said that the issue of justice was perhaps a more justified argument in support of the death penalty. After a crime is committed in a "wicked and outrageous fashion," he said, a criminal should be given a punishment that fits the crime. PATTERSON WAS also the sponsor of Proposal B, which when passed in 1978, revised the state's parole system. After the Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that capital punishment could not be labeled as "cruel and unusual punishment," 39 states have reinstated the death penalty. In Michigan, the penalty for first- degree murder is mandatory life imprisonment without parole. Attempting to strengthen his argument, Patterson provided the audience with grisly details of murder cases his office has dealt with, including the case which initiated the drive, the brutal September, 1979 murder of an Oakland County teenager. At the lecture, the first in the Viewpoint Lecture Series, Patterson was greeted with both polite ap- plause and some negative reaction. Flyers against capital punishment were distributed in the Union before the lecture by the Michigan Coalition Against the Death Penalty. During a brief question and answer session following the lecture, Patterson re-emphasized his position. "Not all people are going to consider the risk before they commit the crime but if some people do, an in- nocent life might be saved. . . If we don't let society know that there's a price tag on life, then you've cheapened it" he said. Cash taken in apartment break-in An apartment on the 500 block of South Forest Street was broken into Monday night, police reported yester- day. Taken in the theft was $25 in cash and some jewelry of undetermined value. Police have not determined how the thief entered the apartment, but of- ficials said there was no sign of force.

Carter helps Reagan on AWACS deal From AP and UPI WASHINGTON- Former President Jimmy Carter extended President Reagan one hand in help and gave him back the other yesterday as he pushed an arms sale to Saudi Arabia but said his successor's tax cuts are "unfair and excessive" and his overall foreign policy warlike. Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, were in Washington for their first visit since Reagan's inauguration last January. Carter and Reagan met alone in the Oval Office for about 30 minutes late in the afternoon. Leaving the White House, Carter stopped at a microphone only long enough to say that historically, meetings with the president are confidential and "that's a principle I think ought to be restored." HE SAID HE had a "good, construc- tive and friendly meeting," and, when asked whether he had gotten along well with Reagan, said, "We've always got- ten along well." At a press conference earlier he of- fered strong support for the $8.5 billion Saudi, deal, including five Airborne Warning and Control System radar planes. He based his argument on the need to support a presidential decision-even though this one was "close call." Mrs. Carter, looking back with " bitterness," said yesterday she enjoy her years in the White House but wou not want her husband to run again f the presidency. BUT THE former first lady called t Reagan administration's dismantlit of her Mental Health Act a traged chided it for slighting her husband terms of furnishingintelligence a foreign policy briefings, and express resentment at reports the Preside and Mrs. Reagan found the mansi had been neglected in the Carter era. She said she would not want h husband to run for the presiden something Carter said he had no inti tion of doing, because "I'm thorough at home. Jimmy is at ease. I like it th way. It's fun to come back and see o friends, but I have . . . no feeling giving up anything."~ A leather coat valued at $350 was stolen from the display window of the W. W. Trent clothing store, 539 E.
