(AP) found guilty Friday of the attempted George C. Wallace and was sentenced The jury of six men and six find Bremer sane and decide his and school janitor from Milwaukee, Asked by Judge Ralph W. Powers if he had anything to say before sentencing, Bremer recalled that the prosecutor told the jurors they were responsible for protecting the world from persons such as the defendant.

"But in my defense, I surely would have liked it if society had protected me from myself. That's all I have to say," said Bremer, who had pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to charges stemming from the May 15 shooting that left Wallace partially paralyzed and three other persons wounded. Powers imposed maximum 15-year consecutive sentences for assaulting Wallace with intent to murder and for using a caliber revolver to commit a felony. Three years were imposed for transporting the firearm. IN ADDITION, the judge meted out 10- year terms for each pair of assault and firearm utilization charges as applied to the other victims: Secret Service agent Nicholas Zarvos, Capt.

Bremer would be eligible for parole after serving one -quarter, or slightly under 16 years of his sentence. The defense lawyer, Benjamin Lipsitz, said no decision had been made on either an appeal or a motion for a new trial.

BREMER, WHO still faces federal charges relating to the shooting of Wallace and Zarvos at a political rally at a Laurel, shopping center, was whisked from the Prince Georges County Circuit courtroom under heavy security. The State Corrections Department will decide which penal institution he will be confined in. After the verdict and before the sentencing the defendant's father, William Bremer, 58, said: "Maryland justice really rolls. There could be only one decision. The boy was sick." During the four and a half day trial, there was little dispute that Bremer was the gunman in Laurel.

The real battle developed over Bremer's sanity and the conflicting expert opinions of psychiatrists called by Marshall and Lipsitz, the court appointed counsel from Baltimore. To Have Three Task Forces Group Begins Study of Indiana Health Care Needs By LARRY LOUGH INDIANAPOLIS Members of the Medical and Health Services Education Advisory Subcommittee, at their organizational meeting here Friday, heard. representatives of four health education areas at Indiana University Medical School explain the status of health career education in the state. Van Smith of Muncie, chairman of the subcommittee, presided over the meeting DALE VANNATTER On Law Training Staff Vannatter Added to Academy Staff Dale D. Vannatter, retired captain and former chief of the Muncie Police Department, was named Friday to the staff of the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy.

Vannatter, who was police chief for three of his 21 years on the department, will work out of the Law Enforcement Training Board's office at Indianapolis and at the academy's temporary facilities at Bloomington until the permanent academy at Plainfield is completed. His duties as a training officer begin Aug. 13. THE ANNOUNCEMENT of Vannatter's appointment was made by Herman H. Freed, executive director of the training board and the academy.

Freed said the academy "is fortunate to obtain the services of a man with the background in police administration and training such as Vannatter." Freed said other staff personnel will be hired in the future in order to increase the amount of training opportunities for Indiana's law enforcement of ficers. Such training is now mandatory for all such officers in the state. Vannatter is an organizer and past president of the Indiana Police Firearms Training Association and has served as firearms instructor for the law enforcement academy. He is a graduate of Central High School, the Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville, the Firearms Instructor's Training Course at Indiana University and many other training courses. He served as a patrolman, desk sergeant and uniform captain with the Muncie Police Department, in addition to his service as police chief.

He was training captain at the time of his retirement in May, 1970. He is the only Muncie policeman to win the Jaycees "Good Government Award" which he received in 1961. He and his wife, Harriett, are the parents of three children. QUICK TAKE THERE WAS a medical consensus from the witness stand that Bremer was mentally troubled. Defense psychiatrists insisted he was a schizophrenic who could not, as the law states, either appreciate the criminality of his actions or conform his conduct to legal requirements.

Prosecution doctors differed, saying the defendant had a less severe disorder -a schizoid personality and was fully able to govern his conduct. Part of the defense case consisted of reading portions of a diary Bremer, started in April in which he told unsuccessfully stalked President Nixon and finally decided to assassinate Wallace instead. DR. JULES LaDURON When Arrested in 1970 Dr. LaDuron Convicted; Jail, Fine Recommended By CHARLES KENNEDY Dr.

Jules F. LaDuron, 78, was convicted of selling dangerous drugs Friday by a Circuit Court jury but remained free on bond pending a pre-sentence investigation by the probation department. The jury ruled the charge a misdemeanor and recommended 180 days imprisonment a $500 fine. Special Judge James Puckett of Wayne County set sentencing for next Friday at 1:30 p.m. LaDuron stood expressionless as Puckett read the verdict.

Archie Lapin, who represented the defendant with attorney Robert Koor, said an appeal was being considered and that there was "ample basis" for one in the record. FINAL ARGUMENTS were presented Friday morning, and that jury began deliberations at 1:50 p.m. after having lunch. Foreman Allen L. Bird delivered the verdict to bailiff Fritz Sullivan more than four hours later at 6:15 p.m.

Koor and Lapin spent most of their closing arguments questioning the integrity of the state's leading witness, Jules "Rick" Vandelene. A former patient of the doctor, he is an inmate of the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton. Vandelene, accompanied by former county policeman Michael Alexander, testified that he purchased pills from LaDuron containing amphetamines and barbiturates. LaDuron denied dispensing pills to Vandelene on Dec. 7, 10 and 11, but identified his handwriting on four packets entered into evidence by deputy prosecutor Paul F.

Brady. IN FEBRUARY, 1970, LaDuron was acquitted of similar charges in 1 Grant County Circuit. Court following a raid at his office, S. Liberty St. Another charge arising the raid, that LaDuron resisted arrest, subsequently was dismissed in Madison County Circuit Court.

LaDuron also was cleared of a manslaughter charge in 1952 in connection with the shooting death of a man in his office. Another man was killed in the same incident, but LaDuron was never brought to trial again until after the drug raid in June, 1969. Attorneys for the doctor presented a case of self-defense in the manslaughter trial, claiming he had been blackmailed. They argued that he had been a victim of "entrapment" by police in the 1969 raid. which about 25 of the 33 members attended.

The group is a branch of the State Commission for Higher Education of which Smith is a member which has been appointed to formulate long-range plans for post-secondary medical and health education in Indiana. OTHER MEMBERS of the subcommittee who attended the organizational gettogether Friday included pathologist Dr. Lall Montgomery of Yorktown and V. S. "Mike" Murray, district manager of Central Indiana Gas Co.

in Muncie. Montgomery was selected to represent the 10th Congressional District, and Murray represents the Center for Medical Education at Ball State. Dr. James B. Kessler, commissioner for higher education, opened the meeting by telling the subcommittee members what their task will be.

"There must be a plan for education to make sure the citizens of this state have the best possible medical care," Kessler said. "You must deal with every aspect of post- secondary education related to medical care." Then Smith proposed attacking the problem from three angles. The plan would divide research into 1) future manpower needs in the various health professions. 2) coordination of programs in the educational areas, and 3) financial and resource allocations among the educational departments. THE SUBCOMMITTEE will meet again Nov.

10, by which time Smith said he will have the group divided into task forces to research the three areas. The four fields of health education medical, dental, nursing allied he health discussed (Friday will be the focus of the subcommittee the first year, Smith said. Those are the four which have the greatest number of persons involved in medical education and which have received the largest state allocations. Smith said other "disciplines and professions" in the health field could be considered later. Representatives of the four major fields spoke briefly to the subcommittee, illuminating some of the problems health education faces now and problems which are anticipated for the future.

Steven Beering, associate dean of the IU Medical Center, told the group a shortage of physicians is not the major crisis in medicine in Indiana. Ulster May Get Unity Vote LONDON (UPI) British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland William Whitelaw told Irish Foreign Minister Patrick J. Hillery Friday that' Britain plans to let the people of Northern Ireland decide next fall whether they would like to join the republic, British government sources said. The sources said Whitelaw told Hillery that legislation providing for a referendum in Northern Ireland will troduced in the British parliament soon after it returns from its summer recess Oct. 17.

He told Hillery, according, to the sources, that the government hopes to hold the vote as soon as possible after the necessary legislation is passed by parliament. HILLERY'S reaction was not disclosed, but both British and Irish sources recalled that the Dublin government has expressed disapproval of the plan. The Irish government, the sources said, wants a vote by the people of Ireland as a whole, which could be expected to produce a substantial majority in favor of unification, whereas a vote in Northern Ireland alone would result in a strong majority against it. Irish sources said Hillery stressed his government's view that an immediate conference of all political interests in Northern Ireland should be held. HILLERY WAS said to have argued "The real problem is not a shortage of physicians, but a maldistribution of physicians," Beering said, "by both geography and activity." BEERING SAID there must be concerned efforts to more evenly distribute physicians geographically, and work to retain, attract and train more doctors.

said over half Indiana's doctors are general practitioners, and a shortage of specialists should be corrected. Robert Bogan, associate dean of the IU School of Dentistry, said that although there is a continually worsening shortage of dentists in the United States, producing more dentists is not the solution. Bogan said the best way to cut the dentist shortage is through preventive dentistry improved dental education in the home, fluoridation of water and better personal materials and techniques for dental care. it Although the dentist-to-patient ratio is bad and has been getting worse, Bogan said the problem has slowed down. Through preventive dentistry, an increased number of dentists and expanded dental auxiliary training, the situation should improve.

HOLMQUIST, president of the Indiana State Nurses Association, told subcommittee the problem of nursing education is different from medical and dental training and will have to be treated so. She said the difference is mainly in three things: The field attracts mostly women, about 95 per cent are female; there is not just one school for nursing in Indiana, like there is for medicine and dentistry, but several throughout the state; and nursing education has only recently become "more a part of the general stream of education" after being an extension of hospitals for so many years. She said the field is a "changing picture." What's Inside Saturday's Star this would be seen by the Roman Catholic minority as a counterbalance to the recent "invasion" of the "no go" areas by British forces. Irish sources said Hillery reiterated the Dublin government's position that it should take part in an ultimate political settlement. But he was said to have urged that the immediate need is for political talks involving all the people of Northern Ireland.

Hillery flew here this morning from Dublin and conferred with Whitelaw over lunch.

U.S. Drops Bombing Charge to Avoid Telling of Wiretaps WASHINGTON (UPI) The Justice Department announced Friday night that it had dismissed a perjury indictment against Leslie Ann Bacon in connection with the bombing of the U.S.

Capitol March 1, 1971. The department said it had ordered the dismissal of the indictment, and secured a federal district court's permission to do so, "because the decision was made not to answer defendant's motions of disclosure of electronic surveillance" regarding the case. The department would not say what the nature of the surveillance was or what persons were involved. The federal government recently has dropped several criminal prosecutions as a result of a Supreme Court ruling broadening the obligation of the government to tell a defendant how prosecution evidence was obtained when it is connected with wiretapping. MISS BACON was charged in a March 24, 1972, federal grand jury indictment with perjuring herself in a previous grand jury appearance in which she was questioned about the Capitol bombing The charge specified that while she had testified she had never visited the Capitol building or grounds, she had in fact visited the building and a House office building on Feb.

28, 1971. She is the only person to be charged with any offense relating to the pre-dawn bombing, which destroyed a washroom in the Senate wing of the Capitol but caused no injuries or major structural damage. THE JUSTICE Department said it did not know the whereabouts of Miss Bacon, who had been free on bond on the perjury charge.

Charges for person-to-person calls, which are the highest rates, will increase 10 cents for the initial two minutes on calls up to 100 miles. They remain unchanged for calls more than 100 miles. Overtime rates for each additional minute of operator assisted or person-to-person calls increase depending on the type of call and mileage, grand jury which the Justice Department said was looking into that bombing and other matters "relating to national security." The arrest was made by FBI agents during a raid on a youth commune here where Miss Bacon lived with alleged members of the Mayday Tribe, a group which was organizing antiwar protests in Washington. Federal indictments alleging illegal actions on her part in relation to weapons and explosives associated with a New York incident are still outstanding, the Justice Department said.

NEW YORK (UPI) ABC-TV, which had threatened to drop Dick Cavett's late night talk show entirely because it trails in the ratings, bowed to viewer pressure and announced that he will appear every fourth week in 1973 alternating with Jack Paar and a variety of entertainment programs. Cavett will continue his 11:30 pm. to 1 a.m. five-nights-a-week show until the end of the year, the network said. After that Cavett and Paar who has not appeared regularly on television since he gave up the NBC "Tonight Show" in 1962 each will appear one week out of four with the two remaining weeks given over to dramas, mysteries, comedies and musical variety shows, the network said.

Tom Mackin, manager of program publicity, admitted that a deluge of mail protesting Cavett's threatened cancelation also was "an element in ABC's decision to keep him until the end of the year and as an element in new package next year." Mackin said at last count ABC had received 15,000 letters, running 9-1 in favor of keeping Cavett, and more were arriving "by the thousands, more than we can keep up with.".
