Kennedy, consistently mentioned as a presidential possibility despite his denials of White House aspirations, says he will not be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention this summer but will be active at the session. In a surprise development Thursday night, Kennedy said in Boston he felt it would be misleading if he headed a slate of his state's delegates to the national convention in Miami. He said people might think it was to "serve some other purpose." It had been expected that Kennedy would head Massachusetts' at-large convention delegate slate. The senator filed an affidavit disavowing his candidacy, a move necessary to remove his name from the April 25 Massachusetts presidential primary ballot. However, Kennedy said he expects to be "active over the period of the next several weeks and months and at vhe convention." As candidates and noncandidates scrambled around many of the nation's 23 states--either entering or' withdrawing their names--others carried on their politicking unabashedly.

Democrat George Wallace ran headon into party stalwart Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey after launching what the Alabama governor called a people's campaign in the Florida presidential primary. "I defeated Wallace in this state in 1968 and hope to do as well again," Humphrey, of Minnesota, told a Jacksonville audience Thursday while pushing his own campaign for the state's March 14 contest. A dozen candidates are listed on the Florida primary ballot.

Hartke blasts media Meanwhile, Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana accused the news media of slighting his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. "I'm only an underdog with you people," Hartke said at a New York news'conference. He predicted he will win the New Hampshire primary. On a three-day campaign swing through.

Wisconsin, Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington maintained he offers the best hope of luring disenchanted Democrats. back into the fold and of defeating President Nixon in November. Jackson is expected to compete for Wisconsin's national convention delegates in a crowded Democratic field.

Speaking at Iowa State University at Ames, Democratic hopeful Sen. George McGovern advocated broad reform in the "entire tax structure" to redistribute income to every man, woman, and child in the nation.

Sunday between 8:00 am.and WASHINGTON (AP) The Cost of Living Council has proposed that persons making less than $1.90 an hour be exempted from wage controls, Pay Board sources say. The sources say the board has asked the council for more information. The council sought the Pay Board's comments on the idea even though board approval is not required.

The proposal surfaced as the wage panel voted 14 to 0 to approve procedures under which all pay raises lost during the wage freeze will be paid retroactively unless specifically stopped by the board. Under these procedures the board will approve automatic payment of many raises up to 7 per cent, but will take a look at several raises above that amount and all raises in pay units of more than 5,000 persons, no matter how small the increase. On the matter of exemptions, the Cost of Living Council earlier had lifted federal wage restraints from all persons making less than the federal minimum wage, which is $1.30 for agricultural workers, $1.60 for others. However, Congress has ordered that President Nixon also exempt anyone belonging to the "working poor," a term without any precise definition. 2-year boosts Acting finally on the contracts covering aerospace board voted Thurs- Courthouse pay checks ignite a fuss (Continued from Page 1) the present $240 or $250 base.

To do so, em- ployes below $300 now will get a $10 raise every 6 months. The officials said that some of their employes have already worked as much as 5 years to reach $300, while newer ones will be paid $300 in a shorter time. Yost indicated he was reluctant to pay for an outside salary study, as the city of Salina did several years ago. "It's the only way you're going to get this thing settled," Gray said. "You can't do anything by sitting down here nitpicking every year." Coffeeshop is busy Yost also said he was "of the opinion that nobody in the courthouse is overworked.

I'm ashamed to go down to the coffee shop. It's always full." Although the meeting may have cleared the air, nothing was settled. Officials asked the commissioners to make better efforts at communication. "We wouldn't have to go through this rigmarole if you'd tell us what you are doing," Mrs. Just said.

day to give the two unions involved a plan that would stretch their 12-per-cent raise over two years instead of one. The first- year increase under the board plan would be 8 per cent, retroactive up to 26 weeks on some contracts. The second year of the contract would raise pay 7 per cent, and would include a cost-of-living hike, according to board calculations. But, in Los Angeles, union officials said they will press court action to get the full 12 per cent at once. One leader, Jim Quillan of Local 727 of the International Association of Machinists, said the ruling will "make Lockheed workers and others in a second-class work force." Thursday's adoption vote was 8 to 2, with five labor members abstaining and two business members casting the negative votes.

In other economic developments: --The Justice Department charged a Florida landlord, Futura, of Tallahassee, with illegally raising rent and urging tenants to lie about the increase to the Internal Revenue Service. The department said the charge was the first criminal action taken under wage and price controls. --Judge Edward A. Tamm of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia was named by Chief Justice Warren Burger to head the new Tempora- ry Emergency Court of Appeals to handle all federal cases arising out of economic controls.

--The Price Commission handed down an expanded set of guidelines for price increases by public utilities, but declined to say how much restraint it will use to maintain them. 3rd-quarter pace of economy down WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's economy slowed dramatically during 1971 after a strong first-quarter recovery, the Commerce Department reported today. In revising the Gross National Product, output of the nation's goods and services, for the first nine months of 1971, the department disclosed that the economy grew by only 2.7 per cent in the July-September quarter. This was much less than the 3.9 per cent reported earlier and well below the amount of growth needed to cut into a high rate of unemployment. Next week, the government is expected to release preliminary figures on GNP growth for the last three months of the year, and it is expected to reflect a stepup in the economy during that period.

Israelis continue retaliatory attacks ready had announced he will enter the Florida and Wisconsin primaries. Likes Lindsay Also in Boston, former Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota said he might support Lindsay or McGovern for president--if "they show strength." McCarthy added to a student meeting that'he wants to examine their statements on domestic policy. Kennedy said while, making his announcement that he intends to campaign vigorously for the Democratic nominee, and added he agrees with polls showing the Democratic front-runner is Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie of Maine. Muskie took his campaign to Berlin, N.H., where he said the thrust of Nixon's policies since the 1968 campaign has been "to divide Americans against each other." He called Nixon's economic policies "an economic disaster for the country." Nixon also was criticized by a Republi- May be easier to keep 'em on the farm (Continued from Page 1) the Democratic party." He identified the farm groups as the National Farmers Union and the National Farm Organization. He said he had received support from the American Farm Bureau a i and the Grange. "It was the opening salvo of the coming campaign," he said. "The temptation to demagogue becomes overwhelming." Butz was introduced by former Senator Frank Carlson of Concordia, who reminded Salinans of the community's part in drafting the first farm program legislation.

"In the 1930s," he said, "the Agriculture Adjustment Act the old trfple-A was written by M. L. Wilson, William Thatcher and Bob Laubengayer of Salina. "I know how hard Bob Laubengayer worked and we can be proud of this city because one of its citizens had much to do with the development of the first genuine farm legislation." (Carlson's reference was to the late Robert Laubengayer, a longtime Salina businessman.) "It's fitting the Secretary of Agriculture should come here." Butz' need to return to Washington rearranged the program with the traditional passing of the gavel, review and preview coming after the address. Paul Warden assumed the Chamber presidency from Ed Pogue.

Each introduced board members and committee chairmen. Tom Kennedy accepted the Chamber's first "Man of the Year" award for his father, M. J. Kennedy, who was cited for work as chairman of the Salina Airport Authority. M.

TEL AVIV (AP) Israeli troops crossed into southern Lebanon again early today amid fog and freezing rain and blew up two more houses they said were bases for Arab guerrillas.

Occupants were inside the stone houses when the blasts went off in the farming village of Kafra, about five miles inside Lebanon, Israeli military sources said. Lebanese military spokesmen in Beirut said a woman was wounded in the explosion. They reported the Israelis assaulted the village by helicopter. A spokesman in Beirut for the guerrilla command claimed guerrilla commandos intercepted the Israelis near the village, inflicted some casualties on them in a half- hour skirmish and forced them to flee. He said the Israelis blew up an abandoned school house while retreating, causing no harm to any Arabs.

It was the second reprisal raid into Lebanon in four days. An Israeli spokesman said it was in retaliation for the "repeated firing of Katyusha rockets from Lebanese territory directed at Israeli civilian settlements." Do you need another employe?

John Ashbrook of Ohio, who accused the administration ol allowing a "paralysis of leadership" to set in. "For the most part, we have confirmed the drift of previous administrations," Ashbrook said in Bedford, N.H.

Appearing with Ashbrook was Rep. Paul N. McCloskey, who also seeks the Republican presidential nomination. He said that if elected he would follow the English custom of appearing every month before Congress to defend his programs and answer questions. Wallace's entry into the Florida race was denounced by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F.

O'Brien, who said Wallace's campaign "could cloud the issue in terms of legitimate Democratic candidates. "I suggest the governor of Alabama is not seeking the Democratic nomination in any seriousness," O'Brien said Thursday in Kansas City. Fail to help the formers' indigestion (Continued from Page how he feels about the rural economy, and what he might do to help it. That would be of interest to everyone," said Wesley Garrison, chairman of the Saline county chapter of the National Farm Organization. Chester Rolfs, Ellsworth, said "sounded good.

He's a good speaker. So are a lot of people from Washington." McDaniel said his organization was not looking for "the easy way out by just asking for another handout from the government." "But what we needed to hear was something about unity, and how farmers might organize with other groups and cooperate in the Legislature and Washington. We should not be talking just about higher prices. What about lower costs?" McDaniel said. Hubert Redden, Gypsum, Saline county chapter secretary of the National Farmers Union, said he did not agree with "the Butz approach to farm problems talking in circles but I'm going to support him until he really blows it.

If he does." Redden and Garrison are members of organizations the NFO and NFU which Butz, in an afternoon press conference, had called "the more militant farm organizations in Kansas. They've always opposed me." When asked about this, Garrison and Redden smiled and said: "Us? Militant? I guess that means opposition, really, like Mr. Butz said." During his speech, Butz had said, "Those who don't participate in government have no license whatever to criticize those who do." "We did not particularly like that," Smischny said. Most of the farmers agreed, though, that they were indeed opposed to Dr. Butz's nomination, but that they will try to "work with him." "He's under a lot of pressure.

It won't do much good to heckle him; we must try to work with him," Redden said. "After all, we're all in this together. That's the key," Garrison said. Salina Guard unit to expand In the previous raid early Tuesday, Israeli troops blew up four houses and said they killed at least 10 Arabs. Lebanon protested to the United Nations and Israel filed a protest of its own Thursday complaining about the guerrilla attacks on Israeli villages along the border.

Today's raid came a few hours after a broadcast by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in which he said another war in the Middle East is inevitable and only the India-Pakistan war kept it from starting before the end of 1971. Salina's Army National Guard unit will be reorganized effective Feb. 1 into a company plus 2 platoons with a complement of 187 men and 7 officers. The unit has been the 891st Light Equipment company. It will become Company of the 891st Combat Engineer battalion and also will include 2 platoons of the 891st's Company C.

The remainder of Company and its headquarters will be in Abilene. The reorganization increases the local unit's manpower allotment by 60 men and 3 officers, opening numerous vacancies for recruits, either with or without prior military service. Personnel with prior service may enlist for one year in the same pay grade they held at the time of release from active duty. The mission of the newly-designated unit also will be altered. As a light equipment company, its primary mission was equipment support.

The unit now will be more actively involved in combat engineering including construction of roads and airfields. Held in farm thefts HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) Reno County sheriff's officers have arrested a Hutchinson man in connection with a series of 16 farm house burglaries. Fred Blackwell, 25, was charged with breaking into two homes in Reno County. Officers were continuing to question him.

There have been 14 house burglaries in Reno County and two in Kingman County in the past month. Let's have lunch in Bermuda What the "beautiful people" do on dreary day By CHARLOTTE CURTIS (C) New York Times NEW YORK David Frost took 60 of his better friends to lunch the other day. In Bermuda. His guests reported at Kennedy airport at 9:30 am and were welcomed with coffee, with or without cognac. Carl B.

Stokes, former mayor of Cleveland, was among the first to arrive. Then came Bobby Fischer, the chess champion, Barbara Walters, the television news commentator, John Kenneth Galbraith, James A. Michener, Mrs. Bennett Cerf, Joseph E. Levine and a raft of newspaper and magazine people.

By 10, the host and his cool-eyed overachievers, some of whom had never met each other, were belted down in the chartered front section of a Boeing 747 with regular passengers in the back. The first round of what was to be a day of champagne was served. Frederick Brisson, the producer, described his office's reaction to the event. Laughs and boos "When I told everybody I was going to Bermuda for lunch," he said, "they laughed first. When they realized I meant it, they booed." Once the plane was up, it became a flying cocktail party.

Guitarists strolled the aisles. A palmist and a graphologist, both of whom insisted upon being called "behaviorists," went about their work. The canapes and caviar appeared. It was de rigueur to exclaim over the host's borscht-red acrylic seersucker suit. Levine, who was elegantly outfitted in black with a cane and a small black alligator bag for his wife's swimming suit, read "A Day of the Dolphins," which is to be his next film.

Stokes talked politics. Fischer huddled with Joseph Kraft, the political columnist. In another corner, Charles Addams, the cartoonist, and Mrs. Jacob K. Javits ex- changed gossip.

Peter Graves, star of "Mission Impossible," had his palm read. Two hours and perhaps 10 bottles of champagne later, the plane landed in sunny Bermuda. The temperature was 72 degrees. Sen. Jacob K.

Javits, who'd flown in from London minutes before, rushed to greet his wife and join the party. Buses took them to the Castle Harbour hotel. On the terrace A calypso band played for more cocktails, this time on a high terrace overlooking sloping emerald lawns, gardens and the Atlantic ocean. A a Richard Roundtree, star of "Shaft," headed for the golf course. Clive Barnes stretched out on the grass.

Fischer played tennis. Graves and Galbraith swam in the hotel's smaller pool while Javits took to the Olympic pool by himself. "I need exercise," he explained. Brisson wentbirdwatching. Theodore W.

Kheel, the labor mediator, in a blue plush blazer with little white stripes, shopped, but couldn't find anything for his wife. Kitty Carlisle, Mrs. Cerf and Wyatt Dickerson, the Washington real estate man, were luckier. They bought Frost a red, white and blue scarf with the British flag on it. The host rode Mrs.

Javits around in a golf cart. But she was in a hurry to get back. "I'm going to talk to the palmist again," she said. "She's telling me fascinating things about my future." The trip back to the airport was by boat. By this time, Frost, who'd kissed all his female guests at least once, was rubbing lipstick off his face.

An associate whispered that after the party, he was flying to Dacca, Pakistan to interview Sheik Majibur Rahman, prime minister of the newly proclaimed nation of Bangladesh, for television. A replay The return flight was a replay with more champagne, more hors d'oeuvre, more caviar, the palmists in the lounge and Billy Taylor at the piano. Mrs. Henry J. Heinz 2d, wife of the Pittsburgh food mogul, and A a who snapped pictures of friends, scanned the Reader's Digest and British Harper's Bazaar on the way.

Kheel studied New York magazine. Fischer took out his pocket chess set and gave impromptu lessons. Galbraith said he'd recently been in Acapulco. "You stroll along the beach," he said, flicking at a wayward lock of wet gray hair, "and you have the distinct feeling that we must be the only race of people where it looks as if the men bear the babies. All the men looked pregnant.

The women were slim." At 6 pm, the plane landed and the peaceful 8Vz-hour food and drink marathon came to an end. The guests, raving about what a good day it had been, hugged and kissed Frost good-by. New York was dark and overcast. The temperature was 45 degrees. "It's back to the ordinary things," Levine said.

"Nathan's and plain old 21.".
