Toy Thief Sparks Santa Support in San Francisco
In San Francisco, a theft of $15,000 in toys intended for poor children triggered a large charity response. By Sunday, about $40,000 in donations and replacements poured in from corporations, truckers, and individuals, including Bechtel, Mattel, Warner Ward Leasing, Macy's, the Giants, and a city youth fund donation from Mayor Moscone. The drive aims to serve 70,000 children, with volunteers salvaging and distributing toys and clothing to offset the burglary.

Ten American Women Remain In Frightened Mexican Jail Scene
In Mexico City 10 American women remain at Los Reyes Prison after a weekend prisoner swap. They fear harassment now the foreign population fell to 106 Americans, one Canadian, and two Britons. Some worry about robbery or beating, while others note the prison’s economic mood has dropped as fewer inmates stay to help each other. Peggy Pratt and Jane Rusk Monroe, both from Houston, expect Christmas release, while Joan Beck of San Diego, jailed since 1975, anticipates a longer stay. Nine American men remain at Santa Marta prison after the swap.
