negotiatior for the state of Minnesota, said, "We think our offer is fair and reasonable it's super-reasonable," Geissner said. It would have cost the state $85 million, about $50 million less than the union was asking, he said. Bob Currie. executive director of Council 6. said the state had offered to reshuffle its money proposal but would not put any more money on the bargaining table.

Members of AFCSME, who now earn an average of $6.76 an hour, voted 8.204-2.457 to reject the offer. The union said pay raises would have been partly eaten up by higher insurance costs. The union wage proposals vary among the five bargaining units. Some of the demands call for 10 to 15 percent wage increases. Currie said 1.200 to 1.500 layoffs will result from recent legislative actions.

Therefore, he said, the money tucked away in the state budget for pay raises can be spread among fewer employees and provide larger raises. The 15.000-member Council 6 of the American Federation of State. County and Municipal Workers called the strike after voting to reject an 8 percent pay increase offer. State mediator Kenneth Boxell had shuttled between the sides for about two hours Sunday but announced at 4 p.m.: "This session is over." Boxell said he would in frequent contact with the two sides. The strike was allowed under a 1980 law designed to make public labor laws similar to those in the private sector.

AFSCME represents about 60 percent of the state workforce, including blue-collar workers, clerical employees and state hospital workers except registered nurses. Tffe approximately 12.000 state workers represented by other unions are forbidden by law from honorirfg the AFSCME picket lines and must work, and some state employees such as supervisors and prison guards are prohibited from striking. The walkout is the largest public employees strike in Minnesota previous strikes have been regional and would be the third recent strike ST. PALL, Minn. (API Hundreds of strikers rallied at the Capitol steps today, and state workers also picketed state hospitals, office buildings and parks after llth-hour negotiations failed to avert Minnesota's first border-to-border walkout by state employees.

See Photo Page 8 Gov. Al Quie assured the public that essential services would continue with minimal disruptions using managers and supervisors. The state hired a uniformed crew to patrol the Capitol grounds. Supervisors and non-striking employees replaced union workers at nine state hospitals, and the switch "seems to have gone all right." said Chris Donaldson, spokesman for the state management strike committee. "I regret that a strike has occurred," Quie said early today.

"The state has made a fair and reasonable offer. However, this is a legal strike, and striking employees are within their rights." Quie canceled a trip to the Republican Governors Conference in St. Charles, 111. charge of the local arrangements. Interment in Hillside Cemetery, Marshfield, Wisconsin.

In "The Yearling," he managed to have, on instant demand, rows and rows of corn in varying stages of maturity. Bock was a friend of Elizabeth Taylor when she was 14, working on the "Lassie" series. A set designer and college campus landscaper were just two of the four botanical careers Bock had followed in his lifetime. He started as a Nebraska farmer, then became a florist in the Los Angeles area.

A native of David City, he had retired from his job as head groundskeeper at the college in 1969. In 1977, he moved to Milton-freewater, where two of his daughters live. His wife. Anna, who had been a clerk at the Soquel Post Office, died in 1979. Bock was a member of the Soquel Congregational Church and of the Mid-County Kiwanis Club.

WASHINGTON (AP) The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, trying to outbid the White House for support, says he would accept a third-year tax cut targeted to middle-income Americans and triggered by the administration's optimistic economic forecast. An administration spokesman, however, says that would defeat the purpose of President Reagan's unconditional three-year proposal, designed to increase saving and investment. The idea was advanced Sunday by Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, as the Ways and Means Committee and the full Senate prepared to pass differing tax-cut bills this week. Neither plan is what Reagan originally wanted.

The Senate bill comes closest, with a 25 percent cut in personal tax rates over 33 months, but several other provisions have been added over administration reservations. The big change, adopted by. the Senate on Thursday, would automatically cut income taxes each year, starting in 1985. to offset inflation. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Bob Dole, said over the weekend that Reagan will accept that provision.

Dole and other Senate Republican leaders, however, predicted they will be able to block efforts by Democrats to add more costly amendments to the GOP tax package. The House bill fashioned by Rostenkowski's committee is a two-year, 15 percent cut slanted to those earning between $15,000 and $50,000 a year. The committee expects to com or economic growth is lagging would continue the ineffectual policy" of the past. A tax break for the oil industry also is involved in the bidding war for support of conservative Southern Democrats, who have joined Republicans to give Reagan a series of critical budget victories in the House. The inducements being offered include a special tax credit for those who own lands from which oil is produced and a reduction in the 1980 "windfall profits" tax on crude oil.

Still undecided is whether to allow any oil producer to avoid the "windfall" tax on the first 1,000 barrels pumped each day. On another economic issue this week. House Democrats are pressing a proposal aimed at preserving the $122-a-month minimum Social Security benefit. Budget-cutting measures passed by the House and Senate would eliminate the benefit, but a resolution sponsored by Wright and due to be considered by the House on Tuesday urges that "the necessary steps be taken to insure that Social Security benefits are not reduced for those currently receiving them." The minimum benefit goes to retirees who, for most of their working lives, held jobs with pay so low that they qualify only for a smaller pension. The Office of Management and Budget said Sunday that the administration will fight against restoration of the minimum benefit, which it called an "undeserved windfall" for most recipients.

"You bet your life we'll fight it," OMB spokesman Edwin Dale said. plete work Tuesday, setting up another battle on the House floor with Reagan supporters trying to out-maneuver the Democratic majority in order to deliver a victory for the president. Rostenkowski said he was confident he could persuade House Democrats and even a few Republicans to vote for making a third-year tax cut contingent on major economic improvement. Appearing on NBC's "Meet The Press." Rostenkowski said the three conditions would be a federal deficit less than $23 billion, inflation averaging less than 7.5 percent between now-and 1983 and interest rates on Treasury bills falling to 7.5 percent. Those figures, Rostenkowski added, are predictions in the administration's mid-year economic forecast, which private economists said appeared overly optimistic.

"If this administration is committed to their economic forecast to what they see as the need for the third year, Dan Rostenkowski would try to use his influence with Speaker (Thomas O'Neill and Majority (Leader) Jim Wright to consider the possiblity of a trigger based on this administration's latest figures," he said. Rostenkowski acknowledged that the administration is adamant against targeting extra tax relief to low- and middle-income families, and Deputy Treasury Secretary R. Tim McNamar said making the third year condition would be unacceptable. "Without the certainty of lower rates, the taxpayer may never begin to save or invest more of his income," McNamar said.

On Sunday, the presidential Office of Management and Budget called the minimum benefit an "undeserved windfall" for most recipients. In a "fact sheet" sent to reporters and members of Congress over the weekend, the OMB argued that the number of people actually affected by eliminating the benefit would be about 300,000 of the 3 million getting it.

And all of those, the OMB said, would be covered by other social programs such as Supplemental Security Income, Food Stamps and Medicaid. WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan, in a letter to Congress released today, blasted House Democrats' efforts to save the $122 minimum monthly Social Security benefit and said he would ask for television time "to tell the American people the facts." The president also called for "prompt bipartisan action" for the entire Social Security system. The letter was sent to Senate Majority Leader Howard H. Baker R-Tenn. Reagan deplored the Democratic efforts as "opportunistic political maneuvering, cynically designed to play on the fears of many Americans, that some in.

the Congress are initiating at this time." Budget-cutting measures passed by the House and Senate would eliminate the benefit, but a resolution FWitti imisn.iirs the head of the Nevada Em- ployment Security Department from 1947 to 1951, and as lieutenant governor of Guam under President John Kennedy.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (AP) Helicopters and search parties with dogs resume a search today for a 14-year-old girl missing since Friday in the rugged high Sierra, a park spokesman says. The search Sunday for Stacy Arras of Saratoga stopped around sundown after 50 people, three helicopters and eight dog teams failed to find her. Linda Abbott, a spokeswoman for the park, said Stacy and her father. George, were on a horseback park trip through the high country in this popular park east of Fresno.

Before she left the pack group at Sunrise Camp, south of Tenaya Lake, Friday afternoon, Stacy told the campers she was going to walk alone on a short trail to a ridge and take photographs. "There's just not a clue at this time" Ms. Abbott said Sunday. The last person to report seeing Stacy was a 77-year-old man who had stopped to rest on the trail. The man was one of the campers, Ms.

Abbott said. The search began Friday night. A park helicopter aided ground searchers Saturday. On Sunday, three helicopters took part in the search, along with eight dog "teams. Park rangers remained along the trail at night to watch for the girl.
