Colo, said there was a "sudden bang" and the whole plane filled with smoke. "The lights went out," Meisner said, "and when the plane started to dive I thought 'Well hell, this is it'." An Australian pilot, Peter Hanmer, said he felt a jolt followed by strong vibrations. "I thought we hit something," he said, "then I saw fuel and pieces of metal coming from under the edge of the right wing." Many of the passengers had praise for the pilot, Capt. W. R.

Brook, and the crew. Mrs. Elizabeth Stevens, of Jackson, said the pilot did a "tremendous job and the crew was terriffic." MRS. SUSAN Vining, the head stewardess, praised the passengers for not panic-ing. "There was no chaos," she said, "which is unusual in something like this." An airport spokesman said the State Police are searching an area around Quemado for the man who was sucked out of the window.

And New Mexicans have a long-established habit of mostly ignoring the special constitutional amendment elections scheduled by the legislature in odd-numbered years. THE BEST turn-out at one of these special elections wasin 1971, when about 75,000 voters went to the polls to decide on 10 amendments. This was about 16 per cent of the eligible voters in the state.

SEVERAL passengers sitting near the engine told the Journal one man was sucked out of his window when a piece of debris shattered the window and the fuselage. Kenneth Turpin of Miami, a spokesman for National Airlines, said "We have unconfirmed reports that a male passenger was ejected from the plane as a result of decompression. We have notified appropriate law enforcement agencies." There were 115 passengers and 12 crewmembers aboard the plane.

State Police said they were searching for the man's body near Quemado east of the Arizona-New Mexico border. Airport officials said all the injured passengers, including two crewmen, were hospitalized at the Kirtland Base hospital. Some were injured from debris which entered the fuselage while others were injured when exiting the aircraft through rubber chutes. MARK SMITH, a passenger who is general manager of KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, told the Journal he was sitting across from the missing passenger when the engine exploded. He said several passengers tried to grab the man, but to no avail.

State law already provides a tax exemption for commercial goods warehoused in New Mexico and assigned for sale in other states.

The proposed amendment would give constitutional backing to the law. Supporters of the amendment say it will give a stronger incentive for new industry to come to New Mexico.

Sunday Journal Index By United Press International Some Republican congressmen and conservative supporters of President Nixon speculated openly Saturday, despite White House denials, that Nixon might resign. The Detroit news, once one of the President's strongest backers, urged in its Sunday editions that Nixon resign and spare the nation three more years of domestic turmoil. By DAVID STEINBERG Of the Journal's anta Fe Bureau SANTA FE Six of the eight members of the Dona Ana County legislative delegation have been getting free rides between Santa Fe and Las Cruces on airplanes owned by the State Highway Dept. according to records of that department.

In some cases, families of legislators went along for the ride with their spouses or without, records over the past 30 months show. HEAVIEST legislative traffic on the aircraft has been during the legislative sessions. Those legislators whose names have appeared on the manifest of "aircraft use reports" are those of Sen. Jerry Apodaca, D-Dona Ana; Sen. Frank Papen, D-Dona Ana; Sen.

Gladys Hansen, D-Dona Ana; Rep. John Tomlin, D-Dona Ana; Rep. Frank Sal-opek, D-Dona Ana-Luna; and Rep. Daniel Provencio, D-Dona Ana. When the legislature has not been in session over the past two years, records reveal that Sen.

Apodaca and Rep. Tomlin have been the only Dona Ana County legislators to take advantage of the free rides. The two Dona Ana delegates whose names do not appear on any of the manifests are Rep. Ralph Hart-man, and Bill O'Donnell, D. ANOTHER SOUTHERN New Mexico legislator whose name has appeared on the manifest is that of Sen.

Fort Sumner rancher Leon Morris said he has lost an estimated 10 calves to coyotes over the past two years. He said that he used to run sheep but was forced to quit because of the coyote problem.

TORRANCE COUNTY rancher Annon Austin reports so far this year he has lost five calves to coyotes. "A coyote will cripple a cow by continuous aggravation and harassment, especially if she has a calf. Then when she's weak, they'll get the calf," he said. Union County cattleman Bill Brockman reported coyotes are his biggest problem Continued on A-9 By CAROL COHEA New Mexico stockmen say a rapidly burgeoning coyote population is threatening their cattle and their sheep and they have voiced their alarm ty asking for a return to the days when the wily predators were kept in heck with a controversial but potent poison called 1080. The prospects for lifting the year-old executive ban against 1080 don't look bright, environmentalists are dead set against it and Congress appears loath to offer it as a prescription for protection.

NO ONE HAS any firm figures on how heavy the coyote population has become, but ranchers say it is significant now and will become worse next spring. Some indication of their concern is evident in a report issued Friday by the Fish and Wildlife Service in Denver. "Bounty hunters" can get $35 for a coyote pelt, the report said, while a sheep skin is worth only $22.50. In an attempt to determine the extent of the coyote problem since the poison ban a census is under way in western and southwestern states to count coyotes. OFFICIALS CLAIM coyotes are definitely on the increase and the main surge will first show up next spring "after a second winter without poison baits and the second complete reproductive cycle." "So far we feel the coyotes are getting away from us, but the (livestock) losses haven't taken as big a jump as they are expected to take next spring," said George Rost regional supervisor of the Wildlife Division of the U.
