Portuguese military close to rebellion? I I v. (UPI) Troops in northern Portugal appeared close to a nulitary rebellion Thursday against Premier Vasco Goncalves and his pro-Communist policies. The central government rushed more left-wing troops loyal to the Lisbon regime to Porto in an apparent attempt to head off the crisis. "An accelerating wave of violence swept through the north, central and eastern regions of the country and military officers in the north issued a petition calling for creation of a multiparty state --directly in opposition to the Goncalves concept. Jn Fafe, Communists who killed one demonstrator and wounded five others barricaded themselves in their headquarters in that northern town, as anti- Communist crowds gathered without police or military interference.

Left-wing Marines sent to protect the Communist headquarters withdrew from the town and there were reports that mutinous army infantry units in the area were preparing to attack them. Military security chief Gen. Otelo Sa- rajva de Carvalho and army chief-of- staff Gen. Carlos Fabiao flew north to P6rto for emergency talks with military commanders in the region. The Communists trapped inside the Headquarters in Fafe, 20 miles north of High court has spoken Anti-Reds rampage Anti-Communist demonstrators in Vila Nova de Famalicao, Portugal, overturn car owned by Porto, told the UPI in a telephone call that the crowds were growing outside the building.

"The situation is becoming extremely serious here," one said. "Everyone in the town hates us."

Batchelor was convicted in magistrate court on charges of riding a motorcycle without a helmet and without eye protection. He was fined $5 on each charge. Haggart reaffirmed the $5 fines.

Batchelor appeared in district court appealing the constitutionality of the helmet and eye protection laws. He had admitted the fact of not wearing either. With only a question of law to decide, no jury was empaneled. Federal pressure The defendant cited the Kansas law passed in 1967 in response to the requirements in the 1966 Federal Highway Safety Act, then noted the law was repealed in 1972 for riders 21 years or then re-enacted in 1973 under what he said was federal pressure. He also raised accident statistics claiming that motorcycle injury accidents in Kansas nearly doubled the year after the helmet law was enacted and again after its re-enactment.

Batchelor also claimed that most helmets minimized hearing and vision and gave riders a false sense of security. County Attorney intern Roger Peterson responded with a Kansas Supreme Court decision based on a near-identical Wichita case in which it was held that the state's police powers constitutionally covered the situation. The police powers, Peterson said, cover the health, safety and welfare of the people in the state. He cited a high court decision that mandatory taking of blood tests in drunken driving cases had been held to be constitutional while being a greater infringement upon the body of an individual than the motorcycle helmet requirement. In ruling against Batchelor, Haggart noted, 'The arguments you've given should be addressed to the Legislature, but that the judge had no power to differ with the Supreme Court or create new law.

Wind kicks O'Brien hasn't talked to Hoffa children DETROIT (UPI) The children of James Hoffa, the missing fallen czar of the Teamsters Union, said Thursday their mysterious adoptive brother, Charles "Chuckie" O'Brien, had not talked to them for more than half a year. The statement by Mrs, Barbara Crancer, Hoffa's daughter from St. Louis, raised speculations of whether O'Brien was still with the Hoffas or somehow was involved in Hoffa's disappearance from a restaurant parking lot a week ago Wednesday. Her brother, attorney James Hoffa, 31, demanded O'Brien take a lie detector test. He said O'Brien, faced with the demand, "hesitated, stalled and said 'maybe later'." Young Hoffa believes "he has some knowledge of what happened." O'Brien, 41, a Teamsters organizer, had been missing for all official purposes since Thursday, the day after his adoptive father disappeared from the parking lot.

He surfaced Wednesday and spent three hours in Teamsters' District No. 43 headquarters telling FBI agents, police and fellow Teamsters officials what he knew if anything. When he got out, he said not a word "Chuckie" O'Brien (UPI Photo) and charged away in a car with his attorney, James Burdick. Burdick, in a hectic street pavement news conference, confined himself mostly to "no comment," although denying O'Brien was the man seen last Thursday getting into a Teamsters car close to the parking lot where Hoffa dropped out of sight. The voice of Mrs.

Crancer became cold when she said, "We haven't seen him (O'Brien) since Thanksgiving last year. He has not tried to reach us or call of his own volition." Inquest will probe death of Lamed hospital patient up Clouds of dust RUSSELL The sun was shining -somewhere but motorists on Interstate 70 Thursday morning had to use headlights to see and be seen as thick dust driven by 50-mile-per-hour winds reduced visibility to about 100 feet. A Salina Journal reporter enroute to Hays, said he got a "taste of what the Dust Bowl must have been like." The National Weather Service at Goodland said most of the blowing dirt was confined to Central and Southwest Kansas. Winds in the Northwest were only 3 miles an hour from the east. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported no accidents caused by obscured vision.

The winds were officially reported at 29 to 46 mph from the southwest at Russell. The NWS said the stiff breezes were expected to continue to blow over powder-dry fields of the Southwest and Central portions the remainder of the day. LARNED A coroner's inquest into the June 12 death of a Lamed State hospital patient, Stanley Robinson, 22, has been scheduled here at 9:30 am Aug. 20. Mr.

Robinson, according to Kansas Bureau of Investigation reports, died 15 minutes after receiving a forced injection of a tranquilizer. The cause of his death is unknown. Mr. Robinson, officials said, became involved in an altercation with another patient the night of June 12. He was restrained by aides and put into seclusion.

He reportedly refused to swallow oral medication, whereupon 6 aides restrained him and injected thorazine, a prescribed medication, into his body. He was found dead 15 minutes later. According to Rod Clellanti, superintendent of the hospital, the autopsy revealed no physical abuse of Mr. Robinson. He said a toxicologist-pathologist report by Dr.

Jerome Sayler in- dicated that the patient had an excessive amount of cholesterol in his heart. Clelland told the Great Bend Tribune he "welcomed" the inquest to determine the cause of death. Results of the KBI investigation will be released at the inquest before a jury of 6 persons. The 6 aides were suspended following Mr. Robinson's death, but they've since been reinstated.

Clelland said he had no doubts of the aides' competency.

(UPI Photo) 2400-pound shark harpooned by sailors LOS ANGELES (UPI) Sailors on an oil company boat Wednesday harpooned a great white shark weighing 2,400 pounds, one of the largest of the monster predators ever captured.

The shark, 15 feet 2 inches long, was caught after a three-hour fight about 10 miles off the coast of Southern California just north of Los Angeles. It was the third capture of a large great white shark in Southern California waters in the past two weeks. Marineland, an aquatic amusement park, said it was negotiating with the boat's owner, Lerner Oil for rights to display the shark. Marineland said its biologists were told by the curator of the Los Angeles County Museum, Sheldon Applegate, the shark was the biggest on record. However the Guinness Book of Records lists the capture of a great white shark 16 feet 10 inches long and weighing 2,664 pounds off Australia in 1969.

Ted Sharp, 25, of Long Beach, a crewman on the 41-foot boat Procalo, harpooned the shark after it was sight- ed by one of the oil company's spotter planes about a mile off Anacapa Island. Marineland said it hoped to have the shark on display within a week. Sea World, a similar park in San Diego, bought and put on display a great white shark caught by the crew of a commercial fishing boat off Catalina Island last week. It is attracting large crowds. Salman proposes $2 million health care project By JOHN MARSHALL Journal Correspondent TOPEKA (HNS) Dr.

Tom Taylor, Salina physician, has announced a proposed million project to strengthen the weakling of Kansas medical practice rural health care. Taylor is chairman of an ad hoc committee of North-Central Kansas physicians who want to use federal money in a pilot project to improve health care delivery in a 19-county area: Norton, Phillips, Smith, Jewell, Republic, Graham, Rooks, Osborne, Mitchell, Cloud, Trego, Ellis, Rush, Russell, Lincoln, Ottawa, Ellsworth, Saline and Dickinson. Taylor explained the proposal Wednesday at a press conference before he met with the state Coordinating Council for Health Planning. "In this area we need, now, between 40 and 50 more primary care physicians for family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. In fact, Lincoln, Rush and Phillips counties have been declared 'underserved' by physician supply by the national health service," Taylor said.

There are 188 active physicians in the 19-county area; of them, 92 practice at Hays and Salina. The committee proposal, called the Kansas Rural Health Care project, is to apply for a 5-year, $2 million grant from the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Project objectives, says Taylor, are to: --Bring more primary care physicians to the North-Central Kansas area by establishing 3-month family practice residencies at area hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices. Students, residents and interns could come from any of the state's 5 medical residency training hospitals: Wesley and St. Joseph at Wichita, Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, and Stormont-Vail or St.

Francis hospitals at Topeka. --Educate medical students, young physicians and community "consumers' about rural primary care practice; --Establish a data system by which state health officials and practicing physicians may see what facilities Kansas doctors need, the type and number of patients treated and the services they receive; --Improve "physician coverage. If a physician enters rural practice he must have coverage if he leaves, for conferences or vacation or so forth. He also needs coverage by knowing where he can find the best specialists and consultants in case of a problem," Taylor said; --Improve existing medical facilities in the 19-county area; --Extend medical services by finding the probable function of paramedics, nurse clinicians and physician assistants in the area; --Find how the state health department and practicing physicians may work more closely with each other; --Encourage communities to "sell" themselves to physicians intersted in rural practice. Taylor says the committee will apply by Oct.

1 for a first-year grant of "about 1500,000." Daring the 5-year period expenditures of $2 million would be for 3 general services: 1. An administrator and staff "to coordinate and evaluate the program -making sure the project is what we intend, and reporting to HEW." 2. Contracts with educational institutions for data, research and consulting services; 3. Expenses for students and physi- cians' travel and lodging during Summer internship or residency practice. "The idea is to expose young doctors or students to rural practice settings.

We can show by statistics that if they are exposed for an adequate time, many will return to rural practice," Taylor said. Last May, HEW rejected a committee request for- funds. The request, 1 said Taylor, had been hastily drafted about 10 to meet the funding deadline. He said it had been rejected because "the forms of activity and control were centered in Kansas City rather than in the rural setting 200 miles west. And there had been no proof of support of the target communities." The committee, Taylor said, now has that support; the project will be administered by staff in North-Central Kansas, if approved.

"And we think we have the general support of area physicians and communities.".
