Doctors said he appeared to rally slightly from a deep coma brought on by a stroke Monday but was still critical.

He was placed in a breathing apparatus and doctors performed a tracheotomy to open his throat and ease his breathing, an indication his breathing functions might be impaired or paralyzed. Salazar's surgeon. Dr. Vas-concelos Marques, said Salazar had shown some slight signs of improvement but did not describe them. Other medical sources said he showed some signs of lucidity today when he was visited by Donna Marinha de Jesus, the woman who has been his housekeeper for half a century.

She left his bedside in convulsive sobs. The medical sources said Salazar pressed her hands and looked at her. Despite these reassuring words, Portuguese in all walks of life waited anxiously for the next medical bulletin. They also speculated on a successor should die or be incapacitated by the stroke. Police and Republican Guards were said to have taken "adequate measures" to cope with any emergency, but the atmosphere in Lisbon appeared calm.

Diplomatic sources said one of the doctors who attended former President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he suffered his heart attacks was flying to Lisbon today to treat Salazar.

DealsBlow To Budget CHEYENNE UPI Gov Stan Hathaway said Monday the 1969 legislature probably would have to hike the general fund budget for the new bien-nium at least $6 million to keep pace with inflation in the cost of government. Hathaway said research on the state budget revealed that within the last 10 years, general fund appropriations doubled, in ing $31.2 million since the 1957- biennium. He said the big gen eral fund increases were in edu cation, health and institutions.

The governor, speaking at a chamber of commerce meeting at Cheyenne, said half of a 70 per cent increase in spending over the last decade set by the Wyoming Taxpayers Association could be blamed on inflation. He said persons demanding budget cuts in state government operations would have to look at education, health and insti tutional costs and how they could be reduced. Hathaway said, "I would say to those who want to make political hay out of the state budget, that they will have to answer to the people about where to cut and how much in education, health and institutions. 'When you portray the image that state government is on a great spending spree, you have to look at these figures very coldly because the traditional functions of government have operated very modestly." The increases in education have been among the largest, Hathaway said. He said it included a hike during the past ten years of $21.4 million for public schools, the University of Wyoming and junior and community colleges.

He said during the same period health service costs were up $4.1 million and costs at state institutions were up $4 79 million. The Governor said general governmental functions, such as those of his office and within the offices of secretary ol state, state auditor and treasur er, have increased during the 10 year period only 1.4 per cent, or $445,000. Despite the need for more money, Hathaway noted the state showed signs of improv ing economically. He said sales tax collections in July were 45 per cent over the same month4 in 1967. "We thought this too good to be true but it remained up about 20 per cent in August compared with August of 1967," Hathaway said.

He said for the 12 month period ended Aug. 31, the tax collections were up $5.88 million compared to the pre vious 12-month period.
