PAUL (AP) Pressures on the property tax would be eased somewhat if the 1967 Legislature adopts a recommendation that state school aids be increased to 50 percent of local education costs. Duane Mattheis, commissioner of education, said he would make the recommendation next Monday to the State Board of Education. State support of local education is now about 46 per cent. Local school funds are raised from property taxes. The state aids come from income tax funds.

Mattheis said his proposal would boost the education bud-which is the biggest single item in state spending--by $63 million for the next two years. His recommendation would be in addition to a $426 million biennial budget approved by the Board of Education Oct. 10. The $426 million, if approved by the 1967 Legislature, would be $57.3 million more than the state is spending for the current two years. Both Democratic Farmer Labor Gov.

Karl F. Rolvaag and Harold LeVander, his Republican opponent, have advocated a 50 per cent state aid level, al. though a tentative budget lined by Rolvaag 10 days ago would keep the figure at 46 per cent.

Westinghouse Plant Struck By 14,000 PITTSBURGH (AP) The Westinghouse Electric one of the nation's largest electrical products manufacturers, was struck today by the member AFL International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Picket lines were reported at a few Westinghouse locations throughout the country at 12:01 a.m, when the IBEW contract expired. Extent of the strike was not clear as the union and the company issued conflicting reports. A spokesman at the IBEW's bargaining headquarters said "pickets are up at all locations at the present but a Westinghouse official said, "as far as we know, no plants in the circuit have given indication they will strike." However, a company spokesman at the firm's Youngwood, plant reported that about 200 IBEW workers walked off the job at midnight and set up picket lines at the plant gates. Some 600 members of the independent American Flint Glass Workers Union walked out at Westinghouse's Bath, N.Y., plant. A check with several other plants reported work continuing normally.

Federal mediators met with both sides for hours Monday before the talks broke off. Mediators said "each side remained adamant," but added that they would attempt to meet with the parties to effect an early settlement. However, no further talks were scheduled. The union said it represents 14,000 workers at more than 60 plants. The union said it ordered the walkout after Westinghouse failed to agree to 13 stipulations the union said were included in agreements signed last month with the firm's other major unions, 1 Parked Cars Hit at Hokah HOKAH, Minn.

Three cars were listed as wrecks Monday at 1:35 a.m. on Highway 44 in Hokah after Francis Gerald Stemper, Hokah Rt. 1, had run into the rear of a 1960 model parked in front of the Richard Dikeman residence here. The 1960 vehicle, in turn, was pushed into a 1957 model in front of the same residence. Both belonged to Dikeman.

Stemper's 1 1960 car also was a total loss. The impact broke the gasoline tank on the 1960 Dikeman car and gasoline spilled onto the street. The Hokah fire department was called to flush off the gas to prevent possible fire. The accident happened across the street from the Hokah grade school. Stemper, at home from service on the Oriskany off Viet Nam, was called here by the death of his father.

The accident was investigated by the Highway Patrol. Strike Ends At Owatonna OWATONNA, Minn.

IN GAULKE CASE Judge Says No Double Jeopardy A motion for dismissal of a charge against Leonard Gaulke, 44, Rochester, of taking indecent liberties with a minor girl was denied Monday afternoon by Judge Arnold Hatfield at the conclusion of a hear.

ing in District Court here. Gaulke's court attorney, Roger Brosnahan, had made the motion on grounds that Gaulke, who had been discharged from a similar charge in a case involving another girl earlier last month, was being placed in double jeopardy by the second action. COUNTY Attorney S. A. Sawyer at Monday afternoon's hearing argued that cases cited by Brosnahan in support of his motion were not applicable in the Gaulke case and that since the offenses alleged had involved two different persons the first, for which trial had been started in the District Court last month, involving a 9-yearold girl, the second on which Gaulke is being held now, an 8-year-old the defendant was not being placed in double jeopardy now.

Judge Hatfield held with Saw. yer's contention and remanded the case to the Winona municipal court in which it had been initiated late last month. Both offenses alleged in the two actions were said to have occurred last July in Gaulke's parked car here. Trial of the case involving the 9-year-old had just started last month before a District Court jury when Brosnahan made, and was granted, a motion for discharge of the defendant on grounds that the information filed by the county attorney did not state an offense of taking indecent liberties with a minor as stated in the statutes. SHORTLY after Gaulke had been discharged in this case, a second complaint was drawn charging Gaulke with an offense against the 8-year-old.

He was brought into municipal court last week on this complaint and at that time Brosnahan requested a continuance of the case to allow for a motion for summary dismissal on the double jeopardy grounds to be heard in District Court. Monday afternoon Brosnahan obtained a writ of habeas corpus to bring Gaulke before Judge Hatfield for the District Court proceedings. In his arguments in support of the for dismissal Brosnahan held that the law states that when two or more offenses arise from the same course of conduct and the defendant is tried for one he cannot later be tried on another charge stemming from this same course of conduct. Brosnahan maintained that Sawyer's opening statement to the jury in the first case confirmed that the two alleged offenses did arise from the same course of conduct, citing excerpts in which Sawyer purportedly said, taking indecent liberties on the bodies of these two little girls. the girls told him this" and the girls became frightened." BROSNAHAN said that the law states that in a case in which a person is charged with an offense and the case is brought to trial, jeopardy is attached as soon as a jury is impaneled and sworn.

In the first Gaulke case a jury had been sworn and the first witness called when Brosnahan offered his motion for dismissal. Granting of the motion, he said. constituted a bar to prosecution on a second charge arising from the same course of conduct. Sawyer objected to the motion for dismissal of the second charge, noting that during the course of the trial on the first charge the defendant had not been "acquitted" but, rather, had been discharged that action because of the wording of the information. The county attorney acknowledged that in certain instances acquittal based on the merits of the defense can constitute a bar to further prosecution but emphasized that in the case which had been before the court the disposition had not been on the merits of the case but on the wording of the information.

IT WAS also Sawyer's opinion that the bars to further prosecution did not apply where alleged offenses involved different people. "This is not the kind of har. assment the statutes try to prevent," the county attorney stated. Referring to Brosnahan's citing of the county attorney's opening statement to the jury in the first case, Sawyer said." A man is not charged by opening statement, only in an information" and the statement made to jurors at the beginning of a trial in no way change the information. At the conclusion of the oral arguments Judge Hatfield agreed with Sawyer's contention that the second case should come before the court and ordered the case remanded to the municipal court where Gaulke will have the opportunity to request a preliminary hearing or waive, his rights to the hearing, and be bound over to the District Court.

(Special)-Officers were elected and plans for opening the museum next summer were discussed at the Wabasha County Historical Society meeting at Reads Landing school Monday night. Thirty-one attended. Mrs. William Ostrom, Reads Landing, holding over as vice president for the society in her area, said some old school textbooks are for sale. They will be cleared to make room for historical items.

The school district has presented the society with the brick school building on Reads Landing's main thoroughfare, Highway 61. THE NOMINATING committee consisted of Mrs. C. V. Cole, Lake City, chairman, Mrs.

Arthur Olin, Millville, and Mrs. James Curdue, Reads Landing. Officers elected for three-year terms were: Cyril Grieve, view, president succeeding Mrs. B. A.

Flesche, Lake City; Mrs. Marce Walters vice president for the Lake City area succeeding Mrs. Warren Peterson and Mrs. Arthur Olin, director. Ray Gorman was re-elected secretary and Mrs.

Alma Waterbury, director. Both are of Wabasha. Mrs. Verma Olin as treasurer and Miss Josephine Mulligan as vice president for the Greenfield area, Plainview, hold over. MRS.

FLESCHE presided. The organization paid tribute to A. Phil Londroche, St. Paul, life member here who died recently. He wrote a book of poems; the Mississippi River was one of his subjects.

The Reads Landing sign that was destroyed in a car-truck accident in June was discussed. The state Highway Department has promised to replace it. It commemorates the building of a fur trading post at the foot of Lake Pepin here by Augustin Rocque early in the 19th Century. The settlement is named for Charles Read, who came here in 1847. The sign told how the village became an important steamboat landing and outfitting point for the Chippewa lumber trade, remaining so until railroad building in the 1870s ruined river traffic and the town.

MRS. JOHN Murdock, Lake City, chairman of the museum committee, demonstrated the use of one of four display cases which have been donated to the Wabasha group by the state society. With Mrs. Murdock on the committee were Mrs. Curdue, Mrs.

Waterbury, Mrs. Frank O'Flaherty, Wabasha, and Mrs. Cyril Grieve, Plainview. Mrs. Grieve Clarence Gauger, Reads Landing, reported on progress of redecorating the interior.
