Oregon Prison Sit-Down Strike Threatens Food Halt
In Salem Oregon state officials and Warden George Alexander threaten to withhold meals from 1090 inmates unless work resumes. The sit-down strike began Tuesday over demands including removal of guard Captain Morits Racy. Some details remain unclear due to garbled text but reports note no major disturbance after midday meals were skipped. Governor Douglas McKay defended law and order while noting inmates cannot dictate policy.
