Escaped inmate Koatal vanishes amid Los Angeles hunt

Police chase surrounds Albert J. Koatal, a 37 year old Folsom prisoner who escaped from the Hall of Justice Monday. Deputies trace tips from Highway 6 to Victorville while sightings in downtown Los Angeles and a Goodwill store claim Koatal wore a size 44 shirt and a black flannel. Interrogations reveal Koatal pledged to escape again, with six prisoners allegedly aiding but only two joining before capture. Police note a string of robberies tied to his escape, dating back to last November.

Farm survey shows extra jobs needed by average farmer

An Agriculture Department survey finds the typical American farmer could not meet family living costs from farm income alone in 1935. The average family spent about 3,009 yearly on living items, while net cash farm income plus home rental value was 1,928, creating a gap largely covered by part or full time outside work. The report notes large farmers spend more on housing and essentials, and the complete survey will detail postwar farm market figures.
