(AP wirepholo) Pay raise logjamming session end Juneau adjournment dim A (AP)- Like a shadowy vision, adjournment of the Eighth Alaska Legislature's first session remains a dim goal as leaders of both chambers groped for elusive compromises.

House and Senate leaders smile bleakly when aksed for estimatesimatesofwhenlawmakers w9l go home. Senate President Terry Miller, who late last week predicted adjoumemnt "early Wednesday morning," said Tuesday the end more likely would come "next weekend." House Speaker Tom Fink said adjournment would occur "when everything breaks." He declined to guess when that would be. One key bill--the state em- ployes pay raise--and a handful of other measures continued to be the logjamming legislation. House members spent their day in caucuses seeking, In one members words, "ways to count up to a majority of the chamber. The chamber's coalition caucused Tuesday morning but broke up after reaching no agreement.

Liekwise, 12 minority Democrats met with the so- called straight eight coalition Democrats but reportedly found no answers. Minority Leader Mike Bradner, D-Fairbanks, said the all- Democrat caucus met "to see if we can help each other with goals we've set forth. "What everybody is struggling for is simply to let those things that people feel are crucial issues come to the floor and a vote of the body," Bradner Vogler presses statewide campaign toward independence ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) When Joseph Vogler heard the U.S. Court of Appeals had put the clamps on construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline, he begin a petition campaign for Alaskan independence. "When we have completed our drive," said Vogler, a 31- year resident of Alaska, "we will ask for a joint session of Congress and appear before our President and nuke our case for independence.

We think it's ironclad." Vogler, a native of Kansas, calls the drive the "culmination of all the frustrations people in Alaska have felt for many, many years." His group of about 50 "volunteers" is "asking our President and Congress to grant the stale of Alaska our tree and independent sovereignty under the auspices of the United States," Vogler, a Fairbanks real estate developer and part- time gold miner, said. Vogler said he got the idea for the campaign in February in a discussion with another gold miner. Since then his group has collected between 2,000 and 3,000 signatures of likeminded individuals. Bill to block Canada pipeline eyed in Senate JUNEAU (AP)-Members of a i a Sentate Pipeline Committee say they will introduce abillthatcouldblocka Canadian route for shipment of North Slope oil. Sen.

Ron Rettig, the Anchorage Reputlican who is chairman of the Pipeline Construction Impact Committee, said the measure was designed to "insure the full flow of Alaskan oil--an if this means elimination of the Canadian alternative, then so be it." The bill would forbid use of state lands for pipelines with KFAR-TV Channel capacities greater than that of interconnecting lines. Thus, Rettig said, if the proposed 48-inch line IVcim the North Slope could handle two million barrels a day--but a Canadian interconnection would restrict American input to half that amount--the state would block construction of the Alaska portion. Rettig said Canada has insisted that any line crossing its territory would, carry 51 per cent Canadian oil. "That means that unless they build a line holding four million barrels a day--one that could take our entire capacity--there would be no line under this bill," the senator said. "This is potentially the most significant piece of legislation to result from this session." He likens his campaign to that for statehood.

"It's quite probably that the movement for statehood was a voicing of the same desire for Alaskans to control their own affairs, their own destiny. And it's not worked out," he said. "We are the third least developed land mass in the world," Vogfer said. "There are only two other land masses of large size that have less development of resources." He says they are Antarctica and Greenland and both of them have "got a mile of ice." He said the basic arguing point in his Tight for independence is Alaska's isolation from the rest of the continent. He said it's a physicial impossibility to have a sister state or one with contiguous borders that could unite with us Under the constitution, which was never designed for a colonial empire, the representative system requires a joint effort of many states with the same or similar problems to affect their protection." Vogler's plan for a new sovereign government includes "trying to do away with all forms of taxation." Taxation would be on raw materials, he said, with other funds derived by making the entire state a free port until it began to inter- fer with other Alaska interests.

Vogler said although he has run into some who "are very violently against this," he also has found some support. Like the Texan who said he'd help if Vogler would help with a similar drive in Texas. said. "We wanted to know if we could be of assistance to the eight, and they wanted to know if they could be of assistance to us. "But right now, the only thing we can determine is that nothing has happened." Fink--who most Senate and House leaders say is causing the delay by blocking the pay bill--said he has concocted at a four comprehensive compromises to break theice.

AH have been rejected. The pay bill continues to rest in the House Finance Committee, where chairman Earl Hillstrand i Fink in the adamant opposition. So far, pro-increase forces have been unable to muster the necessary five committee votes to move the measure to the floor. House Rules Chairman Dick McVeigh said he would continue not to calendar any legislation until a pay increase reaches his hands. Other measures involved in the adjournemnt equation include the House-sought repeal of the student loan program's forgiveness clause, a resolution directing commendement of Alaska State Housing Authority public building programs, Senate-approved occupational health and safety legislation and other lesser items.

JUNEAU (APh-Alaski is on the verge of becoming the first state to limit the number of commercial fishermen who can harvest its ocean resources. The purpose is both to conserve the resources and protect the economic well-being of the state's fishermen, who have found it difficult to attain a decent standard of living because competition Is so stiff. Both houses of the legislature have approved a bill creating a three-member commission to draft regulations and set the new system into effect.

Gov. William A. Egan specifically requested the legislation, and is expected to sign it into law soon. Sen. Bob Palmer, chairman of the Special Fisheries Committee which drafted the legislation, says it will have little immediate impact on fulitime fishermen, regardless of whether they are state residents.

"The basic philosophy from which we've operated all the time is that any man or women who has participated as a gear license holder in the fishery Egan okays annexation of military JUNEAU (AP)-Gov. William A. Egan has sgned into law legislation enabling Anchorage and Fairbanks to annex their nearby military reservations. But Egan did not sign a bill specifically annexing Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson to Anchorage and Fort Wainwright to Fairbanks. A spokesman said Egan still was considering that meauure and had not decided whether to give it his endorsement.

The bill will become law automatically Saturday even if Egan does' not sign it. Sen. John Rader, the Anchorage Democrat who authored both bills, said he was certain the direct annexation measure would become law. "If it's vetoed, then Anchorage has to go to court against the state to determine if the original Local" Boundary Commission decision for annexation was valid," Rader said. "That could take about a year to determine, and in the meantime, it would be impossible to determine revenue sharing, voting or other rights." Though the commission approved the Anchorage annexation, the administration determined its action was not handled properly.

Coiimssion decisions take effect unless the legislature vetoes them, and lawmakers failed to pass a resolution blocking the Anchorage annexation within the statutory time limit. A a i of Fort Viinwrigbt was added by House amendment accepted by the Senate. Enabling legislation signed by the governor permits cities and boroughs to annex military reservations and directs that there be no change in on-base school status. prior to 1973 and who can show significant economic hardship If he is exclused from the fishery will be Included," he said. "I would suspect that most of the fishermen who have been coming up here from the Puget Sound area wll be able to show significant hardship if they were excluded, therefore I don't think they will be excluded." He added: "I can not emphasize too strongly that nothing anybody does this year will have any bearing in succeeding years." UNIIUTIIRSEimCE.IiC.
