The incident happened about 1:30 a.m. as Wilson was walking up the hill from Wilson St. He told police the man was coming down the hill in the opposite direction and asked him where he was going. WILSON SAID fche told the man he was going up the hill and asked him what he was doing with a gun, and the man replied, "I'm going to shoot you."

Submit questions to For Your Information, The Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wis. 53701. Laws Control Odometer Adjustments Can I legally turn back the speedometer on my car? I've heard that automobile dealers may do so before selling a used car. It's the odometer that registers miles traveled on a motor vehicle, not the speedometer, and a dealer may not turn it back unless he turns it all the way back to zero, according to the State Dept. of Transportation.

If the dealer leaves the odometer where it is. he must provide the previous owner's mileage statement, which also includes his name and address. While the law does not prohibit individuals from turning back the odometer, persons who contemplate this deception can face a civil action, possibly for fraud, if discovered. Mini-Bikes Must Follow Motorcycle Laws Is it legal to operate mini-bikes on streets or highways? According to the division of motor vehicles, mini-bikes that are designed for street use, must be driven by an operator who is 16 or over and has a driver's license, and the driver must wear a helmet with eye protection and have the headlight on whenever the bike is in operation. But a mini-bike intended for off-road use would not qualify for registration, since it would not meet minimum equipment standards.

To operate a mini-bike on a highway, it can be registered if certification is furnished from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle complies with federal guidelines for road use, and the vehicle conforms to Wisconsin equipment standards. But even if the mini-bike is registered, there are no circumstances where persons under 16 may cross a highway, or drive the bike on or adjacent to it. A person under 16-could cross a highway legally, if he dismounted and walked the vehicle across. Rules In Conflict With ighvay Dept.

Viet Veterans Called Cream of U.S. Youth i GREEN BAY lt Vietnam a were called the i "cream of A i a 's young men" and deserving of high vet-jeran benefits by the head of the i Veterans Administration n-jday. Donald Johnson addressed some 2,000 members of the Wis-i oonsin American Legion and its auxiliaries at their annual state 'convention. He said VA pro grams have brought $230-million in benefits to Wisconsin veterans during fiscal 1972.

"You Legionnaires don't have to be told that our Vietnam veterans deserve fully all of the benefits and services which have been provided them." Johnson said. "These eight million veterans and servicemen are the best part, the cream of America's young men." Wisconsin has 619,000 veterans and Johnson said 66.000 i Wisconsin men are not taking I advantage of the GI bill. He also said VA expenditures in Wisconsin have increased by $58-million in three years to a total of $230-million. Of that amount, Johnson said, $117 million was paid in compensation and pension to Wisconsin veter-! ans and to the dependents of deceased veterans-. The GI home loan program is 'still going strong in Wisconsin, I Johnson said, and the VA has (guaranteed nearly 6,000 loans valued at $105-million for Wisconsin veterans during the past 'three vears.

Cottage Grove; Harland Dahlk, Dist. 32, Verona; Henry Wechter, Dist. 31, Cross Plains; and George Reger, Dist. 7, Madison, contend the meal payments are a reward because the five employes are not paid overtime. RAPP GOES on to say that MRS.

PAT FIELD A CHILDREN'S library can be a home away from home for some youngsters, she noted. "That's why the book collection is so important," and why the books themselves will be one of her main priorities. Upgrading the city's bookmo biles and branch libraries will be one of Jean's chief goals. Jean explained that she uses the branch libraries a lot because it is hard for her to get to the main library, and that she feels the branches are "poorly supplied." Since Jean plans on remain in Madison for at lesat her four college years, she sees no Droblem in sticking out her three-year term on the library board. In fact, she hopes to become involved in other city committees, especially those dealing with mass transit and 'V The highway committee mem bers' collection for meals also has been criticized and even boycotted by Ginnold who says he sees no reason for the committee to meet during the hour that it does.

Outside school, Jean has been! active on the mayor's Youth Festival Committee, which led to her acquaintance with the mayor and to her appointment to the library board.
