THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1955
The wild battle lasted 15 min
utes, with about 174 convicts
using fists, stones, and make
shift weapons to fight off the
troopers. 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.

Schmidt Seeking
Lower Allotment
Check for Wife
Sacramento, Calif. '(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.
Rail Car Lack Delays
Grain, Lumber Shipments
Portland (U.R) The West
Coast Lumbermen's association
yesterday said that shortages of
freight cars were delaying ship
ments of grain and lumber in
the Northwest.
K. C. Batchelder, traffic man
ager for the association, said
the shortage was caused by East
ern lines not returning cars as
fast as they move East.

'Bernard Baruch, asked on the eve of his 85th birthday for his
opinion on the world's near future:
"I don't see why a man should be more garrulous on his 85th
birthday than he was on his 85th or his 21st. I wanted lo talk
a hell of a lot when I was 21. but I don't at 85. Besides. I've given
all my views. When I was 21 I thought I knew all the answers.
Now no."
Hollywood dress designer Edith Head, giving advice to women
on how to wear clothes:
"Your dresses hould be tight enough lo show you're a woman
and loose enough to show you're a lady."
Dr. Alfred E. Kelly, Wayne University history professor accused
by the Army of being a support of the American Youth for De
mocracy (AYD) from the campus following his investigation of
its activities.
"Any damn fool could have found out all about the AYD on
the campus. I am going to get an apology 'from the Army if I
have to go to the White House."
Seaman Apprentice N. Pierre denied an ensign's commission
in the Coast Guard because of his mother's alleged ties with organi
zations listed as subversive by the Justice Department:
"I'm not 'going to rest until I see this thing through. I'm con
fident I will get a commission."
Mrs. Jean Gaston, commenting on her son's failure to get a com
mission because she once was associated with allegedly subversive
groups:
"But even if I- were guilty and I'm not it should not reflect
on the boy. That's guilty by heredity, or something like it."
Sen. William F. Knowland of California, predicting a Republi
can victory with or without President Eisenhower during a news
conference at Long Beach:
"A nation of 160,000,000 can't say there's only one man."
