grand jury about state leasing activity By AL CROSS Political Writer FRANKFORT, Ky. Former Gov. Julian Carroll said yesterday that part of his testimony before a federal grand jury dealt with a lease in Tompkinsville and other state leasing activity that has raised questions of political influence. Morris Pickerell Jr. of Tompkinsville and Florida has claimed that he did not get a state lease because he was competing against Billy Joe Anderson of Tompkinsville, a strong supporter of Gov.

Wallace Wilkinson. Pickerell and his attorney, Hughes Walker, said Monday that Carroll told the Lexington grand jury about his case in a 90-minute appearance last week. Carroll confirmed that yesterday and said he told the jury of other leasing decisions that may have been politically influenced. Carroll and Walker are law partners. Carroll was called to testify after he said that conditions in the Wilkinson administration were "near scandalous." Wilkinson charged that the ex-governor was acting in behalf of Lt.

Gov. Brereton Jones, whom Carroll supports for governor. Carroll and Jones denied that. The Courier-Journal reported in May that leases with administration officials and Wilkinson supporters, including Anderson, raised questions about special treatment At Wilkinson's request an executive-legislative committee was formed to review all leases held by state officials and legislators.

The pilot of a small private plane who had been missing for 2j weeks was killed when the plane crashed in a field near London, officials said yesterday. Dayne Mearle Baker, 21, was on his way to his home in Mattoon, 111., when the single-engine Cessna 150 crashed during a storm Aug. 5, said Marie Baker, spokeswoman for the Leslie County Sheriffs Department Jim Depew, spokesman for the Civil Air Patrol in London, said the plane disappeared from radar as it headed toward the London airport to refuel. Baker, a student at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C, was traveling alone. Leslie County Sheriff Ford Bowling said two women hunting wild roots spotted the plane yesterday morning in a wooded area.

mission. The commission, which provides research and administrative services for the General Assembly, comprises all Democrat and Republican leaders from both chambers. Senate President Pro Tem John "Eck" Rose said yesterday, "if a majority of the Republican caucus has elected Sen. Williams as caucus chairman, I assume LRC would follow the caucus' wishes and elect him to the commission." Williams, a 37-yearold attorney, is completing his first term in the Senate. He faces no opposition in his November campaign for re-election.

He also has served one term in the House. gations Committee that he was "done wrong" when the state leased Anderson's unfinished building in Tompkinsville. The committee referred the matter to Commonwealth's Attorney John Sam Cary of Burkesville, who couldn't be reached. Anderson, his relatives and associates have given at least $34,000 to Wilkinson's campaign and political action committee, and Wilkinson appointed Anderson to the board of the Kentucky Rural Economic Development Authority in 1988. Anderson and a partner formed a company and bought two acres of land in Tompkinsville in June 1989, four days after the state advertised for space for the Monroe County office of the Cabinet for Human Resources.

Anderson said he had a building with "no interior walls." When state agents inspected the site 20 days later, they found a building with exterior walls, a roof and a gravel floor. They accepted Anderson's proposal, though they acknowledged that the building might not have been built at the time he bid. State law requires that bidders have a building to offer. State officials said they rejected Pickerell's bid because it called for large payments in the first three months. That made his bid, which was 67 cents per square foot lower than Anderson's, the more expensive proposal, they said.

Anderson and James Hayes, a partner, are being paid $36,000 a year for the lease $3,000 more than Pickerell was getting. Anderson could not be reached yesterday. Jefferson County 6000 block of Hackney Coach Drive. Charlotte Appledorn's home. Golf clubs and bag, pool cue.
