COMICS INTEREST HIM
SALINAS, Cal, Feb. 3 (U. P).— Roy Avlina, 14, on his hands and knees in an alley, was so avidly scanning a comic strip supplement that he did not notice an automobile that was backing up behind him till the car passed over his legs. His injuries were not as serious as the comics were funny.
SLAIN WOMAN'S KIN LIVE HERE
Police Study Drinking Glasses in Assault Death of Worcester Resident.’
WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 3 (U. P.) — Fingerprints on drinking glasses and footprints in the snow
today as possible clues to the slayer of Mrs. Martha (Peggy) Anderson, 43. : Her body, clad in a slip, overcoat and rubbers, was found sprawled across her bed yesterday after she had been assaulted, strangled, and disfigured with a beer can opener. By coincidence she was the second person named Anderson to be slain in the same downtown lodging house block in less than two years. In March, 1937, Eric Anderson, 28, was killed when slugged with the leg of a pinball machine. Police said the Andersons apparently were not related. . * Discovery of two sets of footprints in the snow on a rear porch, police said, indicated that the slayer arrived and departed via back stairway just outside the door to Mrs. Anderson’s bedroom. Medical Examiner John C. Ward found on the front of the woman's throat two large diScolorations made, apparently, by powerful fingers. On the abdomen were two parallel eight-inch gashes inflicted with a can opener found in the room. The victim’s estranged husband George and a son, employed in a nearby lunchroom, were among those questioned by police.
Victim’s Father and
Sister Live Here
Mrs. Martha (Peggy) Anderson, 43, whose murder in Worchester, Mass., is a mystery there, was the daughter of Nils Olson, 2365 N. Dearborn St. She was, however, born in the east and never had visited her family here. A sister, Mrs. Carl R. Swenson, lives at the Dearborn St. address. She said she had not decided whether or not she will go East. She said
to live with the Swensons. Mrs. Swenson said she has lived here for 25 years. .
ALASKA SHIPPING HALTED
SEATTLE, Feb. 3 (U. ‘P)—A strike of mates and pilots for higher wages and better working conditions today halted all American shipping to Alaska. Steamship lines paid off sailors, who voted sympathy with the masters, mates and
pilots union.
Apricots and Hot Buns Added as Lures to 1500 Striking Convicts
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal, Feb. 3 (U. P) —Self-imposed hunger punished 2500 convict strikers on their third foodless day in America’s
biggest prison today.
Hunger, prison officials ‘said, would eventually overcome the strikers’ fear of “reprisals from their leaders, which, the officials believed, was _ the only reason the strike was continuing. They were worried and kept

was “ticklish,” they said. To break the will of the fasters, breakfast today offered food that is a luxury in prison. In addition to the inevitable brown beans, mush, and coffee, the menu included ‘canned apricots and hot buns. Just the addition of cream and sugar for the coffee, caused 1500 men to give up the strike at breakfast yesterday. The strikers were kept locked in their cells. All they had to eat yesterday was a pound of bread each and water. And that’s all they will get until they end their strike. They'll stay in their cells 24 hours a day, meanwhile. Hunts ‘Real Reason’ for Strike Warden Court Smith was trying fo
"find out the “real” reason for the| |
strike. He said it could not be the . food. The convicts say they are tired of “too many beans” and “too much hash.” : :
Breakfast is served at 8 a. m. (10!
a. m. Indianapolis Time). A little before breakfast, guards will go through the cell blocks and ask each convict if he desires to eat. If he doesn’t he won't be permitted to change his mind before lunch or before supper. His next opportunity for a substantial meal will be at breakfast tomorrow. Some of the strikers were getting

victs have money, they are permitted to spend $6 a week for sweets, tobacco and various knickknacks sold in the prison. San Quentin is a prison for first offenders and its some 5000 inmates include murderers. Thomas J. Mooney, its most famous prisoner, left it Jan. 7 to receive a full pardon. It has two main céll buildings with an enclosed yard between. It is regarded as among the most modern penal institutions. The hunger strike began Wednesday when more than 1000 prisoners refused lunch. Approximately 4000 refused supper that day.
