Vital statistics 10 Kokorfio (Ind.) Tribune Saturdoy, Nov. 19, 1988 Deaths elsewhere th6T Richard Blankenbaker INDIANAPOLIS (AP) City Public Safety Director Richard Blankenbaker, 58, who suffered a stroke earlier in the week, died Friday at Winona Hospital, the mayor's office announced. Blankenbaker, public safety director for eight years, died at 1 p.m. His wife, state Sen. Virginia Blankenbaker, and children were with him, a spokesman for Mayor William Hudnut said.

His stroke occurred Wednesday during a meeting. He was moved to intensive care Thursday morning when his blood pressure rose and he became nauseated. His condition began to deteriorate further later Thursday. Hospital spokeswoman Sheila Bedell said doctors diagnosed a blood clot in the brain early Friday morning, and he was paralyzed on his left side. Blankenbaker owned the Richard's Market Basket grocery stores in Indianapolis.

Sheilah Graham PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sheilah Graham, the legendary Hollywood gossip columnist who with Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper formed what came to be known as the "Unholy Trio," has died in a hospital here. Her daughter said she was 84. "She's the last of the Big Three," her friend and former editor Mike Kaplan said Friday. "Of the three of them, she was the most tenacious," said Kaplan, who edited her work at the Variety weekly from 1952 to 1955.

A spokesman at E. Earl Smith and Son Funeral Home in nearby Lake Worth said Graham, who lived in Palm Beach, died Thursday at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach. Graham, born in London's East End, lived a life as controversial as the people she wrote about. She had a love affair with novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald in the last three years of his life, and once lamented: "I won't be remembered for my writing.

I'll be remembered as Scott's mistress." Fitzgerald died in 1940. Her autobiography, "Beloved Infidel," was later made into a movie, starring Deborah Kerr and Gregory Peck. Driven by a childhood of poverty, first in a basement room shared with her mother, then at an orphanage, Graham at the age of 18 married a manufacturing salesman 25 years her senior before trying for careers as a serious actress and a music hall performer. She also courted the English gentry and managed to get herself presented at Court in 1931. After settling on journalism, she moved to New York in 1933.

Two years later, she got her first assignment in Hollywood. Graham's survivors include her daughter, Wendy Fairey, son Robert Westbrook, and three grandchildren. A memorial service was planned in New York in December, her daughter said. Zone forecasts 1-2-3-6: An 80 percent chance of showers and possible thundershowers today.

Rep. Mario Biaggi, a hero cop turned rogue congressman, reasserted his innocence and sought mercy for his son Friday before he was sentenced to eight years in prison for racketeering in the Wedtech corruption scandal. "I'm still of the belief, I always have been, that I am innocent," the 10-term congressman told U.S. District Judge Constance Baker Motley before she sentenced him to eight years in prison and fined him $242,000. The judge said a prison term was necessary to assure the community that "the punishment for such crimes upon conviction will be certain and Biaggi, 71, in a voice wracked by sobs, pleaded with the judge to spare his eldest son and co-defendant, Richard, from prison.

"The worst possible punishment Your Honor could administer would be to put my son in prison," said Biaggi, his eyes brimming with tears. "I appeal to you as a father. Do what you want with me. My time is done. Don't hurt Richard." Richard Biaggi, 39, of Fort Lee, N.J., took off his glasses, buried his face in his hands and wept at the defense table during his father's plea.

Motley later sentenced the younger Biaggi to two years in prison and fined him $71,000. The elder Biaggi slumped in his chair but showed no emotion while Motley sentenced him. Prosecutors said afterward that the elder Biaggi would be eligible for parole after serving 40 months in prison. Howard Superior Court 1 Cases filed Doris L. and Howard A.
