The report said that the panel, faced with "not candid'' statements by people from both the Reagan and Carter camps, was unable to discover who on the Carter side provided the materials.

But the panel did point its finger directly at Casey as the recipient of the material. Casey, then Reagan's campaign director, has repeatedly said he does not recall seeing any such documents during the campaign. Said the report from the Post Office and Civil Service human resources panel: "The subcommittee finds that the better WASHINGTON (AP) A briefing book prepared for then-President Carter reached Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign through William J. Casey, now director of the CIA, and the book's use in helping Reagan prepare to debate with Carter is specific evidence of a federal crime, a House subcommittee concluded today. The panel, capping its year-long probe with a report recommending appointment of a special prosecutor, said it found "no evidence" that Reagan was involved himself In the unauthorized transfer of the briefing book and other evidence indicates that Carter debate briefing materials entered the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign through its director, William J.

Casey, and that Casey provided Carter debate briefing materials to James A. Baker III, as stated by Baker, whose testimony is corroborated by a credible witness." Baker, now White House chief of staff, told the subcommittee last year that he had received the debate papers from Casey. The report said the Democratic-controlled subcommittee does not agree with the Justice Department's "surprising conclusion" earlier this year that "any seeming inconsistencies (in witness statements) could be explained by differences in recollection and interpretation." Attorney General William French Smith said then that he did not feel available evidence warranted appointment of a special prosecutor. But U.S. District Judge Harold H.

Greene in an order later stayed pending department appeals ruled May 14 that Smith should seek a special prosecutor.

MOES Associated Press Writer Ninety-five percent of the local election officials who responded to a poll think Montana's presidential primary law should be changed, but they are widely divided on what changes should be made, the state's chief elections officer said Tuesday. Republican Secretary of State Jim Waltermire said only 5 percent of the county election administrators and precinct committee workers want to keep the presidential primary the way it is.

Under present law, any registered voter may chose the ballot of any political party that runs candidates in the primary. Results are not binding, and presidential convention delegates are selected through local party caucuses or conventions. This year, none of the Democratic candidates are running in the Montana presidential primary and only President Reagan is on the Republican ballot. As part of a questionnaire sent to 1,200 individuals, Waltermire suggested four ways to deal with the presidential primary: Keep the law as it is.

Times News Service IXCAIS'RIO, Guatemala In the dense, remote Peten jungle area of northern Guatemala, archeologists have uncovered a remarkable find a painted Mayan tomb more than 1,500 years old, untouched by looters and in nearly perfect condition.

As the first painted tomb to be found intact in more than 20 years, it is con-1 sldered by Mayan scholars to be a major discovery. Among its contents In- eluding elaborate and mysterious wall paintings, pottery and a male skeleton wrapped in the remnants of a shroud is a beautifully crafted jar with hieroglyphics and a screw-top lid that was greeted with amazement by the scientists. The euphoric mood of the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Butte said a hearing is likely to take place this summer regarding the future of the Chapter 11 reorganization case involving Helena's KTVG television station. KTVG, the area's only television station, filed for protection under Chapter 11 last year. That portion of the bankruptcy law gives companies a chance to handle their financial problems under supervision of the court, while in the meantime protecting the company from its creditors.

The court's office said one of the television station's creditors, John Jepson of Townsend, filed an application on May 8 to have the matter moved to Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy laws, which provides for liquidation of assets. The court said KTVG responded with a request that the application be denied. A court clerk said the bankruptcy judge was of the period. You never know whether you're going to dig down and find just a bunch of rocks." On the basis of what had been found thus far, the 52-year old scientist speculated that the tomb had been built for a blood relative of a ruler buried in a large pyramid nearby. The ruler's tomb, decorated with the spectacular wall paintings provided for those of regal rank, had been stripped and looted.

"We do have a sense of elation," said Prof. Richard E.W. Adams, the University of Texas anthropologist who is leading the expedition. "It's a time capsule that reflects the behavioral patterns (More on TOMB, page 8A) likely to require a court hearing on the matter, but no date for a hearing has been set.

She thought a hearing was likely later in a few months. Lynn H. Kock, president of Helena TV, Inc. and KTVG, said he could not comment on the legal action at this time. The television station announced its filing for reorganization on June 27, 1983, saying such actions were common "in today's business world which is burdened with many problems of refinancing in the face of fluctuating interest rates." In a press release at the time, Koch said the company needed time to complete a refinancing package that was necessary "even though the: business is operating with a respectable profit and has had good growth over the last three Earlier reports had indicated that the company I was for sale, and the price of about $2 million was reported ta included the substantial cost of meeting balloon payments on debts.

No war plans, Reagan asserts WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan says he's not preparing to send American troops to war in Central American or the Persian Gulf, although he is pledging to keep the gulf open to oil tankers despite the brewing crisis in the region. However, when pressed, the president refused to unequivocally rule out the possibility of sending U.S. forces to either region. At a nationally broadcast news conference dominated by foreign policy questions Tuesday night, the president also said: The Soviet Union may not return to the nuclear arms reduction bargaining table until, after the November presidential election, but he is not willing to make any concession to get them back earlier.
