JUNEAU (AP)-U. Gov. II. A. "Red" Boucher and Atty.

Gen. John Kavelock both say they have no role to play at this point in Democratic party maneuvering over tlie state's possible vacant congressional seat. Though both men have been mentioned as potential party nominees for Rep. Nick Ueg- ich's seat, the two have told Associated Press that they are making no effort to gain the support of Ihe party's central committee. Boucher said until a vacancy is declared, it would be "totally inappropriate" for him to comment on the situation or his a a i a i i Cor the office.

Havelock said he was not an active candidate, but might accept a draft if one developed. The two men have been among a bevy of state Democrats mentioned at various times as possible replacements for Cegich, who has been missing since Oct. 16 on a plane flight from Anchorage to Juneau. Alaska's most extensive aerial search so far has failed to find a trace of licgich and his three companions, and liov. William A.

Egan has said it would be appropriate to begin "presumptive death" proceedings early next month. If a judge and jury decides that Begich is dead, Egan must declare a vacancy in his position, and a special election will be held. Uoth political parties have days after the vacancy becomes official to choose a nominee. On the Democratic side, only Mrs. Pegge Begich, the missing congressman's wife, has formally declared her availability for the post.

Others have expressed interest. "As far as 1 am concerned, there has been no vacancy declared for the office, and 1 feel that any comment by myself at this time would be totally inappropriate, 1 Boucher said. "When and if a vacancy is declared, 111 comment. "1 don't intend to go out and be buttonholing the central committee right now especially in view that I am the lieutenant governor and am very happy in what I'm doing. just i it would be in poor taste." Boucher said he has been contacted about the situation by friends around the state and has discussed the matter with Egan.

Havelock slid he believed the congressional office "should seek the man." "I think that if I'm the right person for the job, it will evolve that way," ho said. "My life is based upon a sense of public service, and (the office) is a great public service. It's a great honor and a great responsibility. "I'm really most interested in seeing thai the party comes to a unified agreement about one person to be the candidate. I'd be just as happy if that somebody is somebody oilier than me." Havelock said he, too, has discussed the matter with Egan.

Consumer costs rise in October WASHINGTON (AP) The cost of living, nudged by higher prices for clothing, rose by three-tenths of one per cent in October, giving the nation a 3.7 pet cent inflation rate in the last six months, the government said today.

By FRED PRATT Staff Writer The Fairbanks City Council defeated a motion last night to cancel its plans for annexation of a i i a other surrounding areas. Councilman Ken Carson made the motion and was the only person to vote for it. He said he made the motion because he has received a large number of telephone calls from people opposing the annexation. The council is to hold a public hearing tonight at 7 in University Park School on its plan to extend i a i University Road, Davis Road and Ft.

Wainwright. The council also did not take action on the request for a federal grant to build a new solid waste disposal system. i Manager Wally Droz announced the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly had passed a resolution supporting the grant proposal. When asked if the new garbage disposal system had any value Droz said, "If we were lucky enough to get it, I don't think we could afford to operate it after it was built." Droz said he thought the A (Continued from Page 1) the regional system proposal. Even if the city were to drop its policy-not to serve those outside its boundaries, there would be no way it could extend its service under itsown legal authority.The residents of an area could form a i area and have the Fairbanks North Star Borough contract the city to provide the services, but the city has no legal authority to extend its services as it is doing within the city limits now.

EPA funds cannot go to private companies like College Utilities. All this is made more important to the public because sewage and water service are the prime lures being used by the city in its bid for annexation. City officials are telling the public they must be annexed to get the services, but loss of the annexation proposal may putthe city in a position where it can best get EPA funds if it reverses its policy and offers service outside city boundaries. Thus the people living outside the city boundaries now could have their cake and eatit too. On the other hand, Droz pointed out, the city could abandon the annexation and get along without the secondary sewage treatment plant.

Fairbanks Mayor Harold Gill am said the city could fund the telephone, power and office for $10,000 for Mrs. Coady's salary. Mark Shellinger of the Crisis Line Board of Directors told the council he did not think the service could raise the $10,000 plus $4,000 needed for office supplies.

The News-Miner staff will handle all the bo ok work as in the past and keep a running account of who has donated and what is spent. Last year all of the money was not spent at Christmas time, but held in abeyance for people in need during the year. Several families who have been burned out in the past year have been recipients of donations from this fund. Anyone knowing of a needy person, or persons, is asked to call the Clearing House whenaphone is installed and the number published in the paper. However, if someone knows of someone in need before that, they can call the News-Miner office at 456-G661 and tell of the need and it willbe passed on to Santa when he gets all set up.

No one will be immune to Santa's plea for help, but the old gent wants everyone to know that if you arc unable to help the needy or do not desire to lend this aid it isn't at all mandatory and nothing further will be said.

Kissinger conferred with Phani Dang Lam, the hetid of the Saigon delegation to the Paris peace talks, Monday night. A spokesman for Hanoi said similar close contact was being maintained between Tho and the Viet Cong's representatives in Paris.

Kissinger, President Nixon's chief foreign policy adviser, and Trio, a member of the North Vietnamese Politburo, reached general agreement in secret negotiations last month on the draft of a cease-fire agreement, but President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam has refused so far to go along. TTiieu's chief objection is thai the draft does not require withdrawal of all North Vietnamese troops from South Vietnam. He also contends that the council of Communist, Thieu and neutralist representatives that would be set up to supervise national elections in South Vietnam would in fact he the coali- Although Kissinger mat for five days with Thieu after his negotiations in October u'ilh lion regime which Thieu has said repeatedly he would not agree to.

On the agenda is a request by several bus service contractors for an extension of their contracts for three years.

The contractors mention a savings of contract coslst that may increase in new bidding as a prime reason for the extension. Superintendent of SchoolsBob Foutes is recommending the hoard open the services to bid. "It is my experience that any time a contract is negotiated, even though it may seem at the time completely justifiable to negotiate a contract, the result of such negotiation is a loss of credibility to the board of education, 11 Foutes says in his recommendation. On opening the contracts for bids Foutes said, "I would support this a i in the face of higher costs for transportation in the next three years due to my belief that we have an obligation to our service agencies of paying higher costs if such can be warranted." Foutes also reminded the board that it wasnot obligated to accept low bids. a a Transportation Services, urges the board to extend contracts.
