Winona Dally Newt Winona, Minnesota THURSDAY, JAN. 31, 1974 Final house vote on liquor issue delayed i afternoon, but indicated an expected debate on a no-fault insurance proposal is likely to force postponement of all other house action. The bill, strongly supported by student leaders at Winona State College and on other state campuses, would clarify language in the 1913 Schoolhouse Law, which prohibits alcohol on school grounds. The bill would limit the school definition to high schools and elementary schools, permitting the Plate College Board to set whatever rules it wished for liquor use on state college campuses. The proposal appeared near failure last week, but a number ST.

PAUL. Minn. A final vote in the Minnesota House on bill that would open the door to alcohol consumption on college campuses has been delayed. A preliminary vote on the bill last week nearly killed it, but a number of representatives reversed themselves and the bill appeared near passage Tuesday as it awaited a sched uled final vote Wednesday. THAT VOTE didn't come as expected, however, as house members moved Instead to a lengthy debate on a campaign financing bill.

Rep. M. J. McCauley (R-Wl- nona), a supporter of the bill, said this morning a vote on the bill was rescheduled for this closer to passage la prelim Inary committee of the whole session Tuesday. McCauley said today the vota is close enough that ho has "no idea" if it will gain final passage.

Changing his vote In the opposite direction was Spring Grove Republican Rep. Leonard Myran.

Area truck traffic said to be normal Minnesota State Patrol offi cials reported area truck traf fic at usual levels despite a national trucking shutdown which began today following rejection by truck drivers of federal pro posals to deal with short tuci supplies and high prices. Local trucking lirms reported business as normal. "WE DON'T EXPECT prob lems on this end," said John Karsten of Murphy Motor Freight Lines.

"The problems appear to be east of here." Several other trucking con cerns here echoed optimism to day as Midwestern truckers ap pear to be sticking to scned ules. Many of the Midwestern trucking firms, including those in the Winona area, are avoid ing Eastern trouble spots by setting alternate routes to avoid slowdowns or traffic tie-ups. Gene Schultz, manager of Schultz Transit, said that his firm saw the slowdown coming and called all its vehicles in from the East Coast. "WE IIAVEVN'T BEEn send big anything East since Mon day," he said. State patrol stations in other areas of the state have had re ports of trucks blocking truck stops and service station pumps and one Minnesota trucker was shot at late Wednesday night.

The shooting took place In Hanska, and authorities are unable to say whether the incident was connected to the protest. The trucker, Jerry Harris, Cortland, a driver for Bob Dittrich Trucking, New Ulm, was not hurt, but the shotgun blast hit the radiator of his truck and put the rig out of commission.

Such a name charge could happen, if a bill now before the Minnesota Legislature becomes law.

A bill permitting state col leges to become universities Is nothing new in legislative sessions, but some supporters think the time may De ngm for nassaee. The proposal is essentially cosmetic nothing would change except the name of the institution, which supporters say would improve morale at the schools and mean better job opportunities for graduates. The bill requires that any state college seeking a name change must graduate degrees meaning Winona, Mankato, St. Cloud, Moorhead and Bemidjl would qualify. The house version of the bill requires only State College Board approval of the name chance.

That bill Is currently In the House Appropriations Committee, of which Rep. M. J. McCaulev (R-Winona) is a member. He said this morning the com' mittee is expected to discuss it next week.

The senate version requires a name change be approved by both the State College Board and the Minnesota Higher bdu cation Coordinating Commission That bill cleared the Senate Education Committee Monday and Is awaiting floor action.

The opening of the county landfill operation and wage set tlements witn unionized employes require that the county keep surpluses on hand. "When things come up that must be done there must be money to pay," she said. In the landfill operation, which opened July 1, more than $29,000 has actually been used.

Second class postag paid it Winona. Minn. Studded tire use still legal pending decision It's still legal for nonresidents to use studded tires on Minnesota highways while the state waits to see what neighboring state legislatures will do. Minnesota law prohibits studded tire use in the state by anyone, but the portion of the law that applies to out-of-state vehicles remains in limbo as a result of a Clay County District Court order. A judge there In November Issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting enforcement of that part of the law and set a Jan.

14 hearing on the Issue, which is of primary concern to state border communities such as Winona. Red Wing and Moorhead where the case was brought That restraining order has been extended, however. Sen. Roger Laufenburger (DFL-Lewiston) said the half-dozen senate bills dealing with studded tires are now in the Highway Subcommittee of his Transportation and General Leeislation committee. That committee, Laufenburger said, Is delaying action on the bills, which include proposals to make studded tire use by nonresidents legal, waiting to see what Wisconsin and Iowa legislators do with proposals to ban use In those states.

Supt. Denis Hanson said ground breaking may take place in tne spring. You wouldn't disconnect your phone a couple of days week because you know that good prospects might be trying to get in touch with you during those periods when your phone service is discontinued It's the same with your advertising.

All voiced concern for the future. Winona's Clark Super 100 Service, 178 Johnson plans to make its February allotment last by closing the station at 8 p.m. every day instead of the usual midnight closing. STANDARD OIL stations report declining sales presumably because of their gasoline price increase, but say the decrease has made it easier to stretch allotments. On a national level, an American Automobile Association (AAA) survey indicates 22 percent of the stations are limiting sales and that 5 percent are out of gasoline completely.

In Wisconsin, an AAA survey earlier this week showed 8 percent of the state's stations would be out of gasoline at least until Friday. An auto club spokesman said the figure could rise.

CHARLES, for the Dover-Eyota-St. Charles Sanitary project are on schedule, Loren Leach, project engineer for McGhie and Betts engineers, Rochester, said here Tuesday evening. George Kicfer, St. Charles, executive director, and board members had their first look at the plans for an 8'-mile sewer interceptor line and a single plant in St. Charles to treat the sewage of the three cities during a meeting in the St.

Charles district office. LEACH ESTIMATED the cost of the interceptor at about $1 million and the cost of the treatment plant at about $2 million. He said the figures were considerably higher than early estimates ranging under $2 CALEDONIA, don't think the Houston County Board of Commissioners should be condemned for trying to stay out of the red," Delores Hauge, Houston County Auditor, said today in response to criticism from Rolland Hatfield, state auditor, that the commissioners have acquired too large a surplus of county funds while continuing to levy taxes. In an audit report, Hatneia said the county revenue fund at the end of 1972 had a balance oi $411,380. He said the surplus was too large, violating state law.

State statutes provide that the county board can only levy taxes to cover estimated expenses, plus a five percent ex cess. ACCORDING to Miss Hauge, in 1969 the county passed a special revenue resolution and increased the limit of revenue to $300,000 to include levies for civil defense, probation officer, veterans service officer, county historical society, retarded children, mental health, county ex-tension service, county sgricul- SMC awarded Alliss grant for students A grant of $33,000 to be used In financial aid to provide schol arships for undergraduate stu dents during the 1974-75 aca demic year has been received from the Alliss Educational Foundation, St. Paul, by St. Mary's College. This is one of several grants for scholarships received from the foundation by St.

Mary's in recent years. While all students eligible for financial aids may receive con-sideraton for support from the foundation, the grant specifies that, other things being equal, preference be given to residents of Minnesota. Administration of the funds is the responsibility of college of ficers. The donor foundation is a char itable trust funded under the wills of Charles C. Alliss and his wife, Ellora, who died In 1958 and 1966, respectively.

Alliss was an executive of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. and through the foundation the donors dedicated a portion of their estate to education of young people. License plate penalty to jump The price of 1974 Minnesota motor vehicle license plates will go up again Friday. The current 2 penalty for late purchase of the plates will jump after today to $2.50. This is the last penalty increase, but the price will get a lot steeper in a month.

All Minnesota vehicles must dis play the new plates by March 1 or their drivers will face As January comes to an end, the availability of gasoline around the country is again a major concern. Stories filter in from throughout the nation of long lines at service stations and dozens of stations running out of gasoline, but a spot survey by the Daily News indicates that that isn't the case in the Winona area. Some local dealers are running a bit low on their gasoline supplies as they use up their January allotments and most are waiting to hear what their February limits will be. FEW LOCAL stations have limited gasoline sales, but some plan to review the situation and may impose sale limits. Norm's Spur Station, at the junction of Highways 54 and 65 across the Interstate Bridge from Winona, is one of the few stations In the area that has no gas to start the new month.

The station's tanks are empty and operators are uncertain when more gasoline can be obtained. DOWNTOWN Texaco, 302 E. 3rd St. one of those limiting customers to just 10 gallons at a time to try and stretch monthly allotments. Orv's Skel-ly, 101 E.

4th is consider- March. Leach reported that a grant has been assured for Step II of the project, and with approval from the Pollution Control Agency the actual construction plans could be drawn by early 1975 and contracts awarded in the spring. He pointed out the availability of construction grants for Step II depends to a considerable degree on the success of a court action seeking to free Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funds impounded by the Nixon administration. The board of the sanitary district took no action on the proposed plans but authorized McGhie and Betts to submit them to the PCA for review and sanitary on schedule million. Of the $3 million cost, 75 per cent would come from federal grants and 15 percent from the state, leaving 10 percent to be raised locally.

Leach said there will be a 15-inch sewer interceptor from Eyota to Dover, an 18-inch line to St. Charles and a 24-inch line running through St. Charles to the plant, which will be northeast of the city, out of the flood plain. According to Leach, Step I has been completed with the exception of an environmental assessment statement due In a month. ON FEB.
