Assembly votes for death penalty, again ALBANY, N.Y. For the 11th straight year, the state Assembly approved a bill restoring the death penalty in New York, a move one legislator said would combat an "epidemic of murder" that makes world terrorism seem tame by comparison. But the Assembly's margin of approval Wednesday, 92-54, fell eight votes short of the 100 votes needed for the two-thirds majority that's required in the Assembly to override Gov. Mario Cuomo's promised veto of the bill. Cuomo, who says he doesn't think the death penalty deters crime, has vetoed capital punishment bills for his previous four years as governor.

The Democratic governor's predecessor, former Gov. Hugh Carey, vetoed death penalty bills for the final six years of his administration. O'Neill: 'I won't levy tax on out-of-state workers' 7 X) pleads NEW YORK (AP) Robert B. Anderson, who was treasury secretary in the Eisenhower administration, pleaded guilty Thursday to evading federal income tax and operating an unregistered offshore bank. Anderson, 76, waived indictment and pleaded guilty to two felony counts.

One accused him of evading tax on about $127,500 of income during 1984 through a series of bank fraud schemes. "We almost couldn't believe it," said U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani. "We were shocked a secretary of the treasury of such high standing had failed to file his tax returns." The illegally operated bank was the Commercial Exchange Bank and Trust Ltd. of Anguilla, British West Indies.

According to the government charges, Anderson was a principal agent and representative of CEB in New York but did not register the bank with state or federal banking authorities. The bank, therefore, was never inspected and lost at least $4 million of depositors' mon- -iiiiLiiim Mli MiMJrT'Tf liMiur- AP Robert B.

According to the charges he pleaded guilty to, Anderson had "a personal relationship" with the woman, described only as being from the Washington, D.C., area. In one of the schemes charged, Anderson opened an account at the Riggs Bank and falsely described the woman as manager of Robert B. Anderson Co. Ltd. The government charged he used the bank account to funnel income he received to her and another woman friend without reporting the money, $5,000 in 1983 and $8,500 in 1984, on his income taxes.

Another tax evasion scheme, according to the government, allowed Anderson to conceal money he was paid by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church Interna- The loans, according to the government, actually were income that he did not report on his 1983 tax return. Prosecutors would not divulge what kind of work Anderson had done for the Unification Church. tional, for which he was a paid consultant and lobbyist. The government charged Anderson received $80,000 disguised as no-interest loans from a shell corporation he created in connection with his work for Moon's church.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Gov. William A. O'Neill has strongly hinted that he would veto an income tax on out-of-staters working in Connecticut, just as he did in 1982. "I haven't changed my position on that" O'Neill said during a brief news conference in his office Wednesday.

"I'm not sure how you can impose basically an income tax on people that are coming to work in your state if you don't, in turn, have an income tax on your own people." A bill imposing a tax amounting to 0.65 percent of the income of the estimated 50,000 commuters cleared the General Assembly's Finance Committee on a 23-2 vote this week. YOU WAITED FOR IT!
