    Execution Planned in Illinois

    CHICAGO, Sept. 10 (AP) - Gov. James R. Thompson refused today to commute the death sentence of Charles Walker, a convicted murderer, removing one of the last barriers to Mr. Walker's scheduled execution this week.

    ''The imposition of the death penalty in this case is appropriate,'' the Governor said in a news conference here. ''I think Mr. Walker has put himself to death; I'm simply not standing in the way.''

    Mr. Walker, 50, has repeatedly asked that no further steps be taken to prevent or delay his execution by injection on Wednesday. He was sentenced for the 1983 murder of a young couple in Mascoutah, Ill., in a $40 robbery.
