The end came when they were driven back to their cells. Two troopers and a guard suf fered gunshot wounds and 14 convicts received bruises and cuts. The demonstration started when the convicts staged a sit down strike in the prison yard. It lasted 10 hours before Thomas J. McHugh, state corrections commissioner, ordered the guards and troopers to attack. A few hours earlier, women at the Framingham Reformatory staged a riot in an apparent at tempt to cover the escape of four inmates. State and Framingham police moved in quickly to end the dis turbance and three of the es capees were recaptured. The fourth, Iris Allen, a 26-year-old serving time for assault and bat tery, was still at large. The escapees' fellow prisoners began kicking up as soon as a woman trusty reported the break-out. With shrill yells, they broke several windows and threw glass pitchers and water glasses until they were subdued. At Lincoln, Neb., convicts were' pressed into service to clean up $100,000 worth of dam age left by a savage 13-hour riot. More than 300 prisoners staged a night of carnage at the Nebraska Penitentiary, setting fire to half the prison buildings before surrendering to a show of force. The riot ended yesterday when armed troopers marched into the convicts' cell block strong hold with orders to shoot any man who resisted. But it will take weeks to clear away the smouldering wreckage in the prison yard and to repair the destruction in the cell block. Meanwhile, Gov.. Victor An derson ordered 12 National Guardsmen to stay at the peni tentiary for a day or two as a precautionary while prison guards make a systematic search for hidden weapons among the rioters.

'(U.R) Airman Daniel Schmidt is trying to reduce his wife's government check but still provide for his small son, it was disclosed today. Schmidt, 23, is the modern day "Enoch Arden," whose wife. Una, 20, said she remarried in the belief that he was dead. Schmidt was in a Chinese Com munist prison camp at the time. He was held captive 32 months. Meanwhile, Howard P. Welch, S c h m i d t's attorney, said he would file a divorce and custody suit against Una in California, possibly Monday. Downward" Direction After a conference with two Air Force finance officers, Welch said: "We are contemplating a re- allotmerit in a downward direc tion, but not to a point where it will make care of the child substandard." Although Una said she mar ried husky logger Alford Fine, 21, in September, 1954, she con tinued to receive Schmidt's al lotment checks of $200 a month through July of this year. The current August allotment of $117.10 was being held up pending "final instructions" from Schmidt. Welch said his client is not now planning any legal action to recover any previous pay ments to Una. "We have not been vengeful," he said. . An application for a reduction from $117.10 would drop Una automatically into a $51.30 a month bracket, Welch said.
