10 Legislature Apparently Settles Controversy Over Truck Weights LITTLE ROCK (AP)-Anothcr threatened area ol controversy in the Arkansas Legislature was virtually eliminated Friday with introduction of truck weight and license fee increase bills carrying the endorsement of the Highway Commission. Gov. Orval E. Faubus also gave his approval. The bills also call for transfer of the Weights and Standards Division which checks truck weights--from jurisdiction of the State Police to the Highway Department.

Perry County Rep. Paul Van Dalsem, whose filibustering led to defeat of weight and tax increase bills in the 1961 House, gave preliminary approval to the Peterson Durrett measures. Van Dalsem said he still needed on trucks weighing more the present limit of 64,000 School Men a FAYEITEVILLE Monday- Chicken pie. buttered corn, tomato wedges, biscuits, buffer, chocolate pudding, milk.

The increase ranges from 50 cents per 1,000 pounds en trucks between 56,001 and 60,000 pounds up to $2.50 per 1,000 than pounds.

The new limil would be 73,280 pounds and the maximum vehicle length would be increased from 50 to 55 feet. Tlie i a Commission which called a news conference shortly after the bills were intro duced to announce its approval said Arkansas' interstate and pri mary i a could handl trucks of this weight. Present axle weight limits of 18, 000 pounds for a single axle an: 32,000 pounds for a tandem axle would be unchanged. But a weigh limil would be ins (all ed for th front (steering) axle of 12,00 pounds. The front axle is no weighed under existing law.

The bills also would remove ex isling overload tolerances of 50C pounds for one axle and pounds overall. The Higlnva Commission said no toleranc would be permitted for loads ove 73,280 pounds.

The price of silver in New York and London Thursday was $1.256, compared with 9954 cents an ounce in November 1961 when the Treasury selling it at tha 1 or any other price.

Treasury officials doubt if a rise to $1.29 would set off a rush to turn in the 82 billion worth of sil ver banked paper currency for coins. There was no such rush for re demplion in November 1919 when the metal went temporarily to its record price of $1.3825.

What Ihe Western silver producers look more askance at, however, is another Treasury proposal tied in with this demonstration move.
