Lee Pettit Warren, a former New York lawyer born in Coleman, announced that he had given shares of the Hawaiian Dredging and Construction Co. to the eight prisoners, all serving terms of at least 60 years. Warren is a former employe of the company. "I don't know who the prisoners are," Warren said, "since I merely asked Joe Harder, the director of the Honolulu jail to pick out the most deserving prisoners." "These shares were worth some $40,000. They should make about $5000 worth of dividends for each one of the eight new shareholders," he said.

"I decided to give this money to prisoners two years ago1 when I felt that I was soon going to he said. "There is nothing worse in life than to lose one's liberty: and before dying I wanted to! do something for people who have lost their freedom of action," he said.

Anderson Carter (D-Roosevelt) Saturday charged that "big truckers and their allies in the state government" are attempting to kill his proposed ton-mile tax for trucks.

Carter, a representative from the hometown of Gov. John Burroughs, has had noticeably cool relations with the administration for some time. It came to a head during the nearly-completed current legislative session when Carter was ousted! from his position as head of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee. He said truckers are attempting to kill his bill in committee "because they are afraid to let it be aired publicly." He said he first step in the campaign was the double referral given the bill to' the taxation and transportation committees. ine measure is scheduled for hearing at 8:30 a.

m. Monday before the taxation and revenue committee. "The big truckers and their allies in the state government are afraid to let the bill get to the floor of the House," Carter said. The sharp-spoken representative said it was "obvious" that highway commissioner H. E.

Leonard was one of the "allies" to which he referred. Leonard is a prominent Albuquerque equipment and tire dealer. "Their influence on some of the governor's top aides is apparent. They have been working hard to dig a grave for the bill before it can get out of committee," Carter said. A top aide, Dick Valdez, could not be located for comment Saturday.

Carter said his bill, drawn after a long study by the legislative finance committee which he heads, would bring in an additional five to six million dollars in revenue, "without levying new taxes." "The study shows that under! the 1955 laws the little trucker had to shoulder a larger burden of taxes while some big truckers had taxes reduced by 60 to 80 per cent," Carter said. He said the big truckers' taxes had dropped by as much as one to six cents a mile since the passage of the controversial "big truck law" of 1955.

The bill, turned down once before, was recalled and heav ily amended by its sponsor, Rep. 'Thomas Roberts (R-Los Alamos). The first time it was adopting an unfavorable committee report, a bill to establish regional and municipal planning boards in New Mexico. Another measure to pass the federal government agencies would be exempted from the state school tax. Rep.

James Patton (D-Dona Ana), who sponsored the meas ure to do away with the exemption two years ago, urged passage of the measure to reestablish it.

(UPI) A runaway trailer truck, loaded with 20 tons of wheat, roared through downtown Thermopolis Saturday. It narrowly missed a freight before plowing into a house. Fire Chief Steve Eli, returning home from the station, spotted the runaway truck and used his siren to clear a path through crowded downtown streets. He said apparently the brakes failed on the vehicle. The driver of the truck was reported irt critical condition at a hospital.

Laskar said Saturday he believed he could tell the anthropologists where to look for other skeletons. "They're scattered all through that area," he said. But speculation, offering a number of possibilities but no very logical answers, continued to circulate around the mystery. Discovery of the bodies was made Friday by two young men who broke through the concrete floor of the building while excavating.

A University of New Mexico team of student anthropologists Saturday, Jerry Dawson, in charge, said skeletons of three adults, two babies and remains of at least parts of two others had been found.

The lieutenant gov-j ernor is paid $40 a day while1 the legislature is in session. He serves as president of the Sen-! ate. Senators also approved a Bill to increase salaries of corpora-! tion commissioners from $7000 to $7800; but tacked a condi-; tional amendment onto the measure to discourage com-! missioners from running for another state office. This amendment, expected to I be removed in the House, apparently was aimed at Commissioner Ingram Picket, who was a candidate for governor in the Democratic primaries last year and has openly opposed attempts to set up party conventions to replace the open primary. Chavez Defends Sen.

Chavez, who tried unsuccessfully to pass a convention bill this session, spoke in defense of the amendment. Both salary measures and the Capitol Custodian Commission bill now go to the House for action. The custodian proposal would change the organization of the commission, which now includes the governor, the secretary of state and the chief custodian, Joe Baca of Albuquerque. The commission appoints the custodian. When Mrs.
