Prison finishes relocation
United Press International
SANTA FE, N.M.—Warden Jer
ry Griffin said Monday the major re
location of inmates in the aftermath
of last week’s uprising at the New
Mexico State Penitentiary had been
completed.
‘We sent a total of482 out of state,
and we have 538 remaining here
now,” said Griffin. “At the present
time we are not planning to take any
more out of state. There may be
some minor changes, but no more
mass movement of prisoners.”
The relocation of prisoners was re
quired because of the devastation of
the prison during the 36-hour upris
ing. Rampaging inmates set fire to
the building, smashed windows and
destroyed fixtures during the takeov
er — making much of the building
uninhabitable.
Officials said 33 inmates died dur
ing the rioting — many of them tor
tured in grisly reprisal slayings. At
least 89 persons were injured in the
bloody uprising, some of them the 14
guards who were held hostage dur
ing the ordeal.
Clean-up operations continued in
side the prison, Griffin said.
“We are trying to get things back
to near normal,” he said. “The kitch
en is pretty well cleaned up now, but
we have to run stress tests to see if it
was badly damaged by fire.”
Since the uprising, inmates have
been fed from makeshift kitchens op
erated by the National Guard.
Griffin said three of the least dam
aged cellblocks, five dormitories and
the prison hospital were being used
to quarter the inmates while cleanup
continues.
In the Legislature, the Senate got
its first look Monday at Gov. Bruce
King’s plan to reconstruct the prison
and build a new 500-bed maximum
security prison adjacent to it. The
measure — appropriating a total
$82.5 million — won unanimous
approval in the House Sunday.
Lawmakers debating the bill were
reluctant to lay blame for the up
rising.

A fine pickle for laws
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — William R. Moore
says the best way to reduce the flood
of federal laws and regulations is for
Congress to pass his “Proposition
Pickle.”
Simply stated, Moore says the
proposition requires that for every
new law enacted, three other laws
must be repealed.
Moore, executive vice president
of Pickle Packers International, ex
plained his proposition in remarks
prepared for a meeting of the Nation
al Food Processors Association.
“Congress in the past three years
has passed a total of about 821 public
laws,” he told the group. “Based on
our proposition, that would have re
sulted in the repeal of2,463 old laws.

blame, said Rep. Russell Autrey.
“But this is not the time for laying
blame on anyone.
“Right now, the most important
thing is to deal with the aftermath of
this tragedy.”
Investigators returned to the pris
on Monday to seek more evidence
and interview additional inmates
who may become witnesses in the
trial of instigators of the riot.
Assistant District Attorney Dick
Baker said he was not certain how
soon the cases would be prepared for
presentation to a grand jury.
“Our cases will be carefully and
diligently prepared,” Baker said.
“We are going to take our time and
do it right.”
United Press International
PECAN ISLAND, La. — At the
sprawling Rockefeller Wildlife Re
fuge in southwest Louisiana’s coastal
marshland, where scientists have
been working for several years on
“Super Gators,” a new animal is
undergoing study — a Super
Shrimp.
The shrimp, actually the giant
Malaysian freshwater prawn, (Mac-
robrachium rosenbergii), holds
potential in a few years as a crop that
could provide a secondary income
for Louisiana farmers and a secon
dary source of seafood for shrimp lov
ers around the state and the nation.
There are, officials stress, a lot of
ifs.
But experiments will continue this
year on freshwater pond cultivation
of the prawn, which can grow to one-
quarter pound in tropical climates.
They taste sweet, something like
lobster.
“I know for sure that it can be
grown in the state,” said fisheries
biologist Guthrie Perry, who has
been conducting experiments for the
Louisana Wildlife and Fisheries De
partment.
“A landowner that would want to
try to raise them for recreational
value, with no real profit motive,
could raise them (now) with no real
problem,” he said. “We have by no
means found that commercial pro
duction would be economically feasi
ble to attempt in Louisiana. I think in
the next two or three years we’ll
know where we re going.”
Perry conducted experiments on
the prawns in 12 freshwater ponds on
the refuge last summer, without
feeding the shrimp, to determine
stocking requirements and growth
patterns. He plans to conduct similar
experiments this summer, based on
last year’s results.
At Louisana State University and
Southern University in Baton
Rouge, scientists James W. Avault
Jr. and Jay V. Huner are also ex
perimenting with the prawns in
ponds, checking their growth pat
terns when fed.
Roadblocks to commercial pro
duction include the necessity of im
porting the shrimp larvae, maintains
critical water temperature zones de
velopment of proper feeding reje.

ponds and might even be prod*/

“Catfish farming is already t,

Pierce of Battistella Sea Fooi i
large dealer in New Orleans,
“Freshwater shrimp culture if

man,” he said. “Instead, thereii
definite need for something to li
the pressure off them. Shrimpcati
es are going down and demand;
going up.”
In Huner’s experiment at Socti
ern University last year, shric:
yields reached 400 pounds orjl,®
an acre. A good crawfish pond nut
yield 1,000 pounds, but becaiis
crawfish are cheaper, the vain
would be only $600.
“It’s like raising tomatoes-\n

Huner said.
Florida prosecutors say
they denied killer’s bargain
United Press International a complicated plea bargaining agree- Bundy had come to court last \
United Press International
ORLANDO, Fla. — State pro
secutors have revealed that Theo
dore Bundy was ready at one time to
plead guilty to three sex murders in
exchange for 75 years in prison with
no parole.
Instead the law school dropout
now faces two death penalties for the
deaths of two Florida State students
and may receive a third sentence to
Florida’s electric chair for the death
of a 12-year-old girl.
It was Bundy’s constant com
plaints about his legal counsel that
persuaded state prosecutors to reject
a complicated plea bargaining agree
ment that would have put Bundy,
33, in jail for at least 75 years.
Bundy’s plea bargaining attempt
was made public by prosecutors Bob
Dekle and Jerry Blair. They had just
been released from a judicial gag
order after a jury Saturday recom
mended Bundy be sentenced to
death for the murder of Kimberly
Diane Leach, 12.
Circuit Judge Wallace M. Jopling,
who is not bound by the jury’s re
commendation of the death penalty,
is to sentence Bundy today.
Dekle and Blair told reporters
Bundy had come to court last M;
carrying a signed legal docuoM
acknowledging guilt for the murdtn
of the Lake City girl and Flonii
State University students Margarei
Bowman and Lisa Levy two yean
ago.
Dekle said Bundy spent mudnf
the hearing complaining aboutk
legal counsel, and he decidedBmA
was laying the groundwork for a lain
appeal that would claim thatMichae
Minerva — his public defender-
coerced him into pleading guilty.
“That was when I decided I coeH
pull the switch — a feeling I havelt
this day,” said Blair.
