(AP) Militant tax protester Gordon Kahl, denied a military funeral because of the violence that lurrounded hi final months, was buried Friday beside a church on the windswept plains of North Dakota as friends and family moumed.

Among the mourners at the Bowdon Seventh Day Adventist Country Church were five of Kahl's six children, according to one son, Fred Kahl, 22, of Crosby, N.D. Another son, Yorie Kahl, 23, was convicted of second-degree murder in the Feb. 13 shooting deaths of two VS. marshals in North Dakota and was being held along with two other men at the Clay County Law Enforcement Center in Moorhead, awaiting sentencing. Gordon Kahl, 63, a member of the anti-tax, survival-ist group Posse Comitatus, was killed June 3 in a gun-fight at a farmhouse near Walnut Ridge, Ark.

Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Matthews also was killed. Kahl's body was burned beyond recognition when tear-gas canisters touched off a fire in the concrete house. Kahl, a retired farmer who grew up and lived near Heaton most of his life, had been the target of a nationwide manhunt for nearly four months after being accused of murder in the marshals' slayings near Medina, N.D.

Cheney State Park officials said they haven't been contacted by the Posse Comitatus about the rally.

The rally was planned before Kahl was killed last Friday in a shootout with officers in Arkansas, but since his death, it was decided the event would be a memorial, Davison said. Information about the rally surfaced during a re cent meeting of a task force formed by authorities monitoring the Posse Comitatus. The task force has been meeting weekly the past few months at the sheriffs office. Davison said his department provides a meeting place for representatives of organizations including the Kansas Bureau of Investiga i tion, the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "The weekly meetings are an economical way to share intelligence information," the undersheriff said.

Davison said the Posse doesn't have a chapter in 000 and a "Jefferson-Jackson Day" dinner ending the convention tonight may eliminate the remainder. Attendance at the $100-a-plate dinner is expected to be large because three of the presidential candidates will be speakers. Of the six announced Democratic presidential hopefuls, those actively campaigning for straw poll votes were former Vice President Walter Mondale, Cranston and Hart. Most observers predict they will finish in that order, though Cranston supporters cherish the hope of first place if they can swing enough undecided delegates. Up to 30 percent of the delegates have not made up their minds by some estimates.

Rules allow more than 3,000 delegates and alternates to vote, although party Chairman Matthew Flynn said he doubted the number would exceed 2,000. As the convention crowd, including an expected 300 state and national news media representatives, milled in the hotel before the convention, the atmosphere was festive. At one point, Mondale was shaking hands in the Earl: region's Cranston accused of vote governors tea up with federal cuts Xm around Wisconsin w- if Sedgwick County, but there are a considerable number of Posse members in the Wichita area. He refused to disclose how many county residents officers believe are Posse followers. He said the intelligence task force began concentrating on the Posse about the time Kahl became a fugitive after the shootout in Medina, N.D.

buying lobby, Hart was having a free beer reception a few yards away, and Cranston was holding a press conference seven floors above. The festivities and evening floor session were all a prelude to today's straw vote, which, though the centerpiece of the was not officially part of the program. In addition to the three candidates who have campaigned extensively in the state to round up delegates, Annie Glenn will speak for her husband, Ohio Sen. John Glenn. The candidates were scheduled to make at least three joint appearances at various times today.

The two other contenders, former Florida Gov. Rueben Askew and Sen. Emest Hollings of South Carolina, did not campaign for convention votes and were not expected to be represented here. With Mondale regarded as the favorite in the balloting, the real news could be the second place standing of Cranston or Hart. "If I can do 30 percent plus, that would be great.

But the other camps tell me I won't get more than 30 percent," Cranston said. group and Chan Harris, publisher of the Door County Advocate, Sturgeon Bay, was reelected.

Two men pleaded innocent Friday to armed robbery and will be tried Aug. 5. Angel Mayan-Dominguex, 20, Fort Howard Hotel, and Andreas Gainza, 19, 617 Kellogg St, were allegedly aided by a third man in robbing James Seasly, 25, on May 27, court records said. The three men were driving with him to a party when one suddenly pulled out an 8-inch knife and took $67 from him, the record said. "We need the money.

We don't have anything to eat," one of them told Seasly, the records said. Seconds after they released him Seasly spotted a police car and police quickly caught the suspects, the records said. iv the state Veterans of Foreign Wars declined to provide military honors for Kahl, who served in the Army Air Corps forerunner of the Air Force as a bomber gunner during World War II. "The North Dakota American Legion, in consideration of all circumstances, does not support formal military rights for the funeral of Gordon Kahl," Assistant Adjutant Harry Moore said in a prepared statement. The family was still eligible for federal benefits, however, because of Kahl's hon-' orable discharge.

Those benefits included a VS. flag on Kahl's casket, a $450 burial allotment and a headstone. The flag will be provided by the Veterans Administration. The Medina gunbattle erupted at a roadblock set up by authorities trying to arrest Kahl on a parole violation from a 1977 income tax conviction. VS.

Marshal Kenneth Muir, 53, of Fargo, and Deputy U.S. Marshal Rober' Cheshire 32, of Bismarck, were killed, and three other officers wounded in the gunfight. The Posse Comitatus, meanwhile, has scheduled a national memorial rally near Wichita in mid-August to honor Gordon Kahl, authorities said Thursday. Sedgwick County Under-sheriff Sam Davison said the group's plans call for the rally to be staged at Cheney Reservoir, a large lake on the border of Sedgwick, King- "All of the states of the Great Lakes region face these challenges and all of the states of the region are being sold short by the administration in Washington," he said. Earl said last year Wisconsin took the second worst cut in federal aid, a 17 percent cut of $4 10 million.

"The fact that we are being punished unequally is bad enough but the real shame of it is the federal government is shifting tax money from Wisconsin and the other Great Lakes states to the Sun Belt," Earl said. Earl said in the years from 1975 to 1980 the Midwest sent $152 billion more to Washington than it got back while the South and West got back $134 billion more than they paid in taxes. "This income transfer is worsening under the Reagan policies and if he gets even a fraction of the fortune he is asking for (national) defense this trend is going to become intolerable," Earl said. Once the state budget is passed, Earl said the priority for the next four years will be to restore Wisconsin as the "star of the Snowbelt." "We are going to be showing business that the Democratic Party is not only not anti-business, but is the best thing that ever happened to business in Wisconsin," he said. "We are not simply going to give lip service to our allies in labor, either.

I intend to use all my powers to encourage a new mode of labor-management relations in Wisconsin. "The future economy of our state cannot tolerate a fossilized structure with bosses at one end and workers at the other," Earl said.

Alan Cranston, embittered an otherwise upbeat spirit as Wisconsin Democrats crowded a hotel here for their annual convention Friday. Partly because of a substantial influx of new members and an unusally high attendance at the convention, the party stood to erase or nearly erase a debt that totaled about $180,000 only two years ago, said party Treasurer Thomas Lonsway, Appleton. But the main drawing card of the convention, a nationally touted straw poll of delegates to pick their favorite presidential candidate for 1984, also threatened to sour the flavor of the event.

Michael Mervis, a Milwaukee public relations executive, longtime Democratic activist and backer of Colorado Sen. Gary Hart for president, was distributing lapel stickers declaring, "My vote is not for sale." In an interview, Mervis dodged the question but the stickers were interpreted as aiming at tactics of Cranston.

mitted paying or offering to pay hotel and travel expenses of some delegates. Mervis told a reporter, "The tradition in Wisconsin is that we have hard, tough political campaigns. We don't buy votes. We don't try to influence people with cash." He said national news media reporters were getting the impression "that this is Chicago." Gary Aamodt of Madison, like Mervis a public relations man but a Cranston backer, angrily dismissed the vote-buying charges. He said Cranston's organization was following in the spirit of the national party which requires funds to be provided for convention attendance by unemployed and low-income delegates.

Most delegates supporting Cranston in the straw poll today are paying their own way, he added. Membership in the party, swollen by recruits rounded up by the presidential candidates' organizations to vote in the poll, was reported at 11,337, up from about 9,000 at the end of last year.

By PrM-GoHt Modlson Burtou MILWAUKEE Gov. Anthony Earl said Friday night that the three presidential candidates here for a straw poll at the state Democratic convention and the media covering it should take a message back to Washington the Great Lakes states are not going to take it on the chin anymore.

and the Great Lakes region are not going to take it anymore," Earl said in the convention's keynote speech. "This great region which combined has the economic power of West Germany and the largest fresh water reservoir in the world is waking up," he said. The message to Washington is that Great Lakes states "are through paying for the excesses of an administration that treats us like a foreign country," Earl said. "The candidate who brings the Great Lakes states back into the Union as first-class citizens in 1984 is the candidate who is going to win the presidency. The power of the (region) has been dormant too long.

"We have been suffering silently by ourselves and attending to our own problems without thinking much about cooperation," Earl said. "But I can assure you, after meeting with the Great Lakes governors in Washington and recently in Cleveland, all that is he said. It is not just Wisconsin that has had to cut state services and ask for large tax increases, that has thousands of people out of work, where factories are idle and farmers are up against the w(dl and which must find new resources to rebuild its economy, Earl said.
