BY the Associaied Press

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Oct.

nearly 40 injured in anothes riot
at Missouri's State mems prison
today and tonight. inmates Of the
nearby women's prison tried to
burn down q dormitory.
These were the third and
fourth outbursts within a month.
Today's riot at the mems
prison, like the two that preceded
it. started with protests over
food. Before it was over 1000
convicts were embroiled. The
trouble broke out while white
prisoners were being served in a
dining hall.
About 125 Negro convicts, wait
ing outside for their turn to be
served, grabbed bricks and
chased the white men back into
their cellblock with a shower of
missiles.
Guards and extra officers,
quickly modified, fired at least
seven shots with riot guns in
quelling the outbreak.
The fire at the women's prison
apparently was a sympathy DEM
onstration. Some of the women
convicts have husbands in the
mems prison.
Prison officials said eight or
10 beds were set aflre on two
floors of the dormitory.
