PORTAGE (UPI) Portage police and area residents spent aboul two hours Sunday looking for what could have been a huge boa constrictor or a hoax pulled by angered Carson and Barns Circus entertainers. The circus was here Saturday for a scheduled one night stand. And, afler the way things went during the event, the entertainers were probably lucky their stay in Portage was short.

First of all, the county health director wanted to speak to someone in charge about the unsanitary conditions at the circus site. The circus people, according to Portage officer Dale Townsend, told him to go away. He did. But a short while later he showed up with the police. Someone in charge of the circus showed up right awav and listened to at least three county health violations.

They included the fact there were outhouses on the premises and the cotton candy machine was unsanitary. Sunday morning, an angry circus crew packed their belongings and headed for South Bend, Ind. for another performance. When they arrived however, they discovered the long and 8-inch-rounti snake missing. The crew said they weren't sure whether it had escaped emmite to South Bend or had been left behind in Portage.

Townsend, however, had his own theory about that: "There's a possibility the circus just wanted to cause us a little trouble because of the problem with the health inspector," he said. Townsend said the city has given up looking for the boa after motorcycle and on foot searches in fields surrounding the circus site turned up nothing. Although the large snake is not poisonous, when frightened, boa been known to wrap themselves around humans and suffocate them.

Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw said in a statement: "The incident was I clearly set up by the IRA to provide a justification for a resumption of terrorist activity." Later, a spokesman for Whitelaw said he believed the incidents Sunday could have been resolved by peaceful discussions which were going on, and said Whitelaw was ready to resume talks at any time.

The trouble began when the of almost 2,000 Catholics, armed with wooden clubs, iron bars and garbage can lids, tried march through an army barricade sealing them off from the empty houses on the Protestant housing estate.

The swivel chair in metal and i black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after Ihe much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously.

Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of i them and then gave his i verdict: "Fly in ray own i chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the i $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby.

It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and 'Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. i "Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless i Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facili- I ties in the hall, where the 'organizers expect 3.000 fans S5 each to be on hand I Tuesday.

Gudmandur Arr.laugsson, cle-. puty referee of the match, i spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take I over when the chief referee, I Lothar Schmid of Germany i flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different I chess sets of various sizes.

Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident. i I I VALUABLE COUPON DOUBLE Top Value Stamps WITH THIS COUPON ON ALL PURCHASES (except beer, wine or tobacco) TUiS.

Mention of UAW Boss As V-P Candidate A Surprise to Aides (MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Presidential contender George McGovern's announce! ment he was considering United I Auto Workers President lleon- ard Woodcock as his running mate sent shock waves through i Democratic convention liead- i quarters here.

It also caught at i least one of the labor leader's aides off guard. "The first I heard' of it was last night on television," said 1 Jerry Dale, a UAW press agent. Woodcock, meanwhile took the news with ease, and adopted a "wait and see" attitude. "Obviously anyone is honored by this kind of recognition," said E.J. Moran, Woodcock's administrative assistant.

"But only the nominee can make such a selection. We are just going to wait and see." The South Dakota Democrat told newsmen Sunday he had discussed the vice presidential spot with Woodcock about a week ago and mentioned he might seek a running mate from outside the political realm. "I talked to Leonard Woodcock a week ago to get his views on a number of things. I told him we had even some thought to reaching out beyond political officials," McGovern said. "I mentioned the possibility he (Woodcock) might be one of those who might be considered." McGovern said in a television interview on XBC's Meet the Press.

If Woodcock is chosen as vice president, it would be the first time in history the Demo- cratic national ticket included a top labor leader. Woodcock, 61, a generally soft spoken labor leader, has supported McGovern throughout the presidential campaign, al; though he publicly endorsed I Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, for the election before Muskie dropped out of the campaign. i But Dale warned that the vice presidential reports concerning Woodcock might be simple speculation. "I really don't think there's too much to it.

"The remarks might a been made just to get some reaction," Dale added. And he said to his the union president had never discussed the vice presidency' with McGovern. UAW Vice President Douglas Fraser said the union was "quite pleased" Woodcock was being considered for the post. He said Woodcock could win Michigan votes for McGovern by pulling blue-collar supporters from Alabama Gov. George Wallce and labor buffs away from President Nixon.
