Feds foil Cuba commando raid Bay of Pigs revisited Federal agents display arsenal seized from Bay of Pigs veteran in Miami. (UPI Photo) Haven doctor held on charge of rape HAVEN (HNS) A Haven doctor was arrested Monday and charged with the rape of a 22-year-ofd unmarried woman patient in his office. Dr. Marcio Duffles-Andrade was taken into custody at his clinic following the accusation of a Mt. Hope woman that the rape took place while she was alone with him during an examination.

Haven, a city of 1100, is 16 miles south of Hutchinson. The arrest came after a week-long investigation by sheriff's deputies and a KBI agent, and one day before the physician was scheduled to give physical examinations to female athletes at Haven high school. An affidavit of charges filed by Assistant County Attorney Jim Turner states that the Brazilian-born psychiatrist and general practitioner committed oral sex against the woman and then raped her in a room adjacent to the examination room at his clinic. The woman told police she had gone to the Haven medical clinic Aug. 9 at 1:30 pm to undergo pregnancy tests.

Formal charges were expected Tuesday. Duffles is believed to have become a U.S. citizen one year ago. He served as a psychiatrist at Lamed State hospital for 3 years and as a medical doctor in Dodge City for several months before leaving Kansas for Washington, D.C., in December 1975. He opened the Haven Clinic in November, 197fi.

He is married with 2 children, both pre-medical students at eastern universities. MOSCOW (UPI) In the first positive response to peace feelers from President Carter, Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev said tonight he will "willingly look for mutually acceptable solutions" to issues between the two superpowers. In a ceremony welcoming visiting Yugoslav President Tito, Brezhnev referred to Carter's recent Charleston, S.C., speech and said "compared with the previous moves by the U.S. administration, these statements sound positive." NEW DELHI, India (UPI) Three key aides to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi have been arrested on corruption charges in the first legal action against Mrs. Ghandhi's regime since she was voted out of office.

The arrests Monday came as Mrs. Gandhi attempted to retake control of the Congress party, which was defeated in last March's parliamentary elections by the Janata (peoples) party. Those arrested include Mrs. Gandhi's private secretary, her former cabinet minister in charge of chemicals and fertilizers, a key political aide and seven others, most of them businessmen. MIAMI (UPI) Agents from three federal agencies raided a west side home and a river marina Monday, seizing three boats, a cannon an other weapons apparently intended for a commando raid on Cuba.

Pedro Gil, 41, a member of the Brigade 2506, the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association, was arrested and charged with violating federal firearms export control laws. Authorities said there may be other arrests. At least two other Cuban exiles reportedly were being sought. The Miami Herald quoted Pedro Rojas, a spokesman for the Bay of Pigs group, as saying the weapons belonged to the 2506 Brigade's "secret army," and called the seizures "lamentable." "I don't believe that we are violating any law when we fight for the freedom of our country, which is under the hands of international communism," he said. "Imminent" raid Assistant U.S.

Attorney R.J. Sanford said the three boats, weapons, ammuni- tion and camouflage uniforms were to be used in an "imminent hit-and-run harassment raid somewhere on the Cuban coast." He said 10 or 12 persons were scheduled to take part. The Herald quoted an unnamed 2506 Brigade source as saying the raid had been set for last weekend but the three boats were forced to turn back to Miami when one of them developed engine trouble. Raids were conducted by Customs inspectors; Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents, and the FBI. Sanford said the operation had been "under constant surveillance throughout their elaborate preparations of the last several weeks." A 23-foot Formula power boat that contained the arsenal also was seized at Gil's home.

Two other boats one equipped with a mount for the 20mm cannon were confiscated at a marina along the Miami river, agents said. The agents also found that along with the weapons, the boat contained a dozen duffel bags stuffed with camouflage uniforms, combat boots, walk- ie-talkies and first aid kits. Final accounting due for POW's, MIA's WASHINGTON (UPI) The Pentagon said Tuesday a final status review will be made of 712 Americans listed as prisoners of war or missing in action in Indochina with the near certainty that all will be declared dead within a year. Status review boards of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines will examine each case individually with next of kin present if they desire and make a final ruling, the Defense Department announced. President Carter personally approved the review.

The status of 681 MIAs and 31 servicemen listed as POWs in virtually all cases is expected to be changed to Killed in Action. Some of those on the list have been unaccounted for as long as 13 years. A few have been missing only four years, disappearing at the time of the final U.S. disengagement from Vietnam in 1973. Lt.

Col Carlos Matthews, military adviser to the Defense Department on the missing in action issue, told a news conference that President Carter had given his okay last Friday. No evidence "There is no credible evidence that any of these men are still alive," said Matthews, himself a veteran of three tours of duty in Southeast Asia. But The League of Families, which represents relatives of those affected, said through a spokesman that the department's action in starting the final process was unjustified and cruel. Next of kin of service personnel listed as missing in action continue to receive full military salary and benefits. Once declared dead, the serviceman's insurance would be paid and the next of kin left with lesser veterans ben- eftis.

Owner says Aerators helping hold Pork Motel odor down The manager of Pork Motel, a hog finishing lot near Salina that is under fire from state health officials, has installed a new aerator that the manager said is helping alleviate the lot's offensive odors. "We put it in Saturday and then let them (the aerators) run low over the weekend and really cranked them up today," Bill Bowen said. "I could really tell the difference." Neighbors in the immediate area of the Pork Motel were less optimistic Tuesday morning. Kenneth Berndt, Salina RFD 2, told The Journal the odor from the hog farm was noticeable Sunday and Monday nights. Other neighbors, including Bill Came and Ron Bearnes, had similar opinions.

Bearnes said the odor Monday night was "as bad as it ever has been." Pork Motel has been ordered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to eliminate odors from the facility in the next two weeks or face a fine. In addition, Attorney General Curt Schneider has filed a nuisance suit seeking to shut down the facility. Bowen said he may appeal the health department order in order to gain enough time to test the new system. "We should know if it will work in a week to 10 days," he said. "If it does what the company guaranteed it would' do, it will completely deodorize the lagoons." The state declared on April 6 that odors from the facility, which has a capacity for 4,000 hogs, were interfering with neighbors' rights to enjoyment of life and property.

In addition to the aerator tests, Bowen said Pork Motel is experimenting with feeding lambs at the facility. Crash kills Ft. Riley soldier ABILENE A 26-year-old Fort Riley soldier from Nevada was killed and a Chapman woman was seriously injured when their motorcycle crashed into a bridge railing early Tuesday on K-15 highway 10V 2 miles south of here. The name of the soldier was withheld by military authorities pending notification of next of kin. Bonnie Rittel, 20, Chapman RFD 1, was the passenger, according to the Dickinson county sheriff's office.

She suffered severe hand injuries, bruises and abrasions, and received emergency treatment at the Abilene hospital before being transferred to a St. Joseph's hospital, Wichita, where she is in fair condition. Sheriff's investigators said the accident occurred at 12:15 am Tuesday when the southbound motorcycle went off the right side of the highway, struck a bridge guardrail and then crashed into a highway reflector post. Sales Tax $1.35 .75 .45 .24 Remit $46.35 25.75 15.45 8.24 $65.00 40.00 27.00 11.00 $90.00 55.00 35.00 15.00 No suspects in execution of former beauty queen, mother CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (UPI) Police had no suspects in the killing of a Milwaukee fashion model and her mother, who were found bound, stripped and shot Monday in the mother's home.

A neighbor found the nude bodies of Brenda Parsh, 27, a former beauty queen, and her mother, Mary Parsh, 58, lying side by side, face down on a bed. Their hands were tied behind them with electrical cords. Both had been shot in the back of the head, police said. Miss Parsh had flown to her home town Friday night from Milwaukee to visit her father, Floyd, who is hospitalized after having a heart pacemaker implanted. Authorities Monday withheld from Parsh the news of the deaths.

Nothing missing Investigators said burglary apparently was not the motive because nothing appeared to be missing from the modest home where the Parsh family had lived for several years. Police said Miss Parsh was wearing several expensive rings. Police speculated the mother and daughter may have interrupted an intruder as they arrived home. Keys were found in the front door and a back window was broken. The body of Miss Parsh was in a more advanced state of decay than her mother's, indicating the women were killed separately, police said.

The time of death was not determined immediately. Miss Parsh was chosen Miss Southeast Missouri in 1970 and finished as second runnerup in the Miss Missouri contest later that year. The brown- eyed brunette was well known in the community as having an attractive personality. She had been in numerous local beauty contests in the area. People 'n Places "Corner" grocery store comes to fhe customers BOSTON (UPI) Boston has a corner store that comes to the corner, and it serves a very select clientele.

You can't shop there if you're under 60, and if you're bedridden or handicapped, you get special treatment. The two-year-old Mobile Market is a converted bookmobile that makes 30 stops a week at area housing projects where it serves 500 customers. "We carry some 300 grocery items, canned goods and so forth," Manager Al Legros said. "We do a gross business of about $1,000 a week." The market also carries frozen foods, small cuts of meat and basic cleaning supplies, but no candy or cigarettes, since that requires a special license. It has a staff of three Legros, a cashier and a driver-maintenance man paid for by federal funds.

It is accompanied by a Boston Housing Authority guard, since most stops are at BHA projects. Because of its special clientele, the market offers services such as telephone ordering and free delivery, particularly to the handicapped and bedridden. Legros says stocking the market Manager AI Legros aids customer in Boston's rolling market. (UPI Photo) provided a few surprises about eating habits of the elderly. Hia customers, he said, prefer national brands to local or store brand goods.

"They won't buy the store brand coffee even if it's 40 or 50 cents less," he said. And, he said, "you can't have enough bananas. Bananas and prune juice." Legionnaire gets 3 years John S. Gleason CHICAGO (UPI) John S. Gleason 62, former national commander of the American Legion and former board chairman of the Mercantile National Bank of Chicago, Monday was sentenced to serve three years and a day in prison for misapplying $500,000 in bank funds.

Gleason also was ordered by U.S. District Judge Alfred Y. Kirkland to serve three years on probation after his jail term. Gleason pleaded guilty June 21 to two counts of bank fraud and one count of falsifying a proxy. His agreement with federal prosecutors specified he will not be prosecuted for any other alleged criminal violation.

He is cooperating in other financial investigations, officials said. Do as not as do WASHINGTON (UPI) AFL-CIO President George Meany celebrated his 83rd birthday Tuesday, advocating early retirement opportunities for all American workers except himself. Meany's birthday party Tuesday night promised to be a modest one, hosted by his 14 grandchildren after a routine day of work at AFL-CIO headquarters. Meany no longer even talks of retirement as he did about a year ago during a spell of bad health. His health has improved markedly since a bout with bronchitis and a cataract operation in late 1976.

Still puffing big cigars and relying on a cane only as a prop, Meany now insists he will stand for reelection to another two-year term next December when the AFL-CIO meets in Los Angeles. He will have no opposition. George Meany No for Jimmy Miss Lillian ATLANTA (UPI) On her 79th birthday the President's mother was out earning a buck. "Miss Lillian," the matriarch of the Carter clan, busily autographed copies of her new book in an Atlanta department store Monday and informed her son, who called to wish her happy birthday, that even he wouldn't get a free honey, you've got to buy one. We don't give 'em away," Miss Lillian told the President in a brief telephone conversation.

Before the President came on the line, Miss Lillian jested with his secretary. "He sure is holding me up from signing," she said. "I've got to sell a book." The book, "Away from Home Letters to My Family," consists primarily of letters Miss Lillian wrote home when she was in India in the Peace Corps in the late 1960's. In bizarre murder trial Doctor pleads guilty as evidence mounts CINCINNATI (UPI) Dr. Stuart S.

Kutler sat quietly at his own murder trial during the past two weeks, watching a young prosecution team build a case of direct and circumstantial evidence aimed at proving he beat an 8- year-old boy to death. With the odds mounting against him, Kutler ended his sensational trial Monday with a surprise plea of guilty to the reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter in the slaying of Arthur Noske, the of his former girl friend, Ann Marie Noske. For the 31-year-old suburban Cleveland physician, the decision will mean a certain prison term, a possible five- figure fine and the end of his medical career. Handcuffed and under police escort, Kutler was ordered back to Cleveland Tuesday to be housed in the Cuyahoga County Jail until sentencing Sept. 22.

Kutler's was one of the most bizarre murder cases in Ohio history. Ms. Noske, the first and most important prosecution witness, had testified the doctor beat her son to death in a fit of rage and then tried to burn his body in the fireplace of his $60,000 Brecksville home. When the cremation attempt did not work, Ms. Noske said, Kutler took the boy's charred corpse out of the fireplace and disposed of it at a site he would not reveal.

Despite a major two- month police search involving hundreds of people, the boy's body has not been found. Prosecutors would not say if Kutler agreed to disclose the burial site as part of a plea bargaining agreement, but Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Donald Nugent acknowledged, "We hope to find the body as a result of this plea." TV for Afghanistan TEHRAN, Iran (UPI) Afghanistan soon will introduce color television for its 17 million people, a large number of whom are nomadic tribesmen..
