Hitchhiking Grandmother
Leaves The “Road”
To Write A Book
One of the last stops made by
60-year-old hitchhiking grandmo
ther, Mrs. Fern Woods, enroute
from Alaska to her home in Cali
fornia, was at the meeting of the
Portland Sourdoughs on October
25.
Grandma Woods has hitchhiked
in 48 states, from Key West to
Maine, and also in Canada, with a
pack, a .41 caliber Colt pistol,
knapsack and steamer trunk on
wheels. It was a sheer accident
that the Portland Club had the
pleasure of meeting her, for one
of their members found her at
the bus depot when she delivered
a passenger prior to going to the
Sourdough meeting. The two
were soon on their way for the
evening of fun.
Having just returned from Al
aska, Mrs. Woods told of many
interesting things, especially her
“hush-hush” junket on a Navy
plane to Pt. Barrow — a “topper”
to five years of free traveling.
While on the road, Mrs. Woods,
a plump, motherly sort (she has
12 children, and 27 grandchildren
at the age of 60) gets by on $1
daily. She likes greens and eats
mostly salads. Her fishing pole
comes in mighty handy, too.
In her compact baggage she
carries an air mattress and pillow,
gasoline stove, campers’ utensils,
plastic dishes, one change of
clothes, small hatchet, and a din
ner bell, not to invite bears to
dinner, but to scare them away!
Then, too, there is the inevitable
Polaroid one-minute-still camera.
After she arrives home and be
comes acquainted with her 12
children all over again, after five
years away from California, she
plans to write a book called “The
Experiences of a Lady Hitch
hiker.” Mrs. Woods lives at 450 E.
Ohio St, Escondido, Calif.

Mobster Refuses
To Testify Before
Crime Commission
NEW YORK, <(/P) — Jerry An
astasia, one of the waterfront’s
most feared characters and a
brother of the one-time head of
Murder, Inc., refused to testify
.Friday when called before the
New York State Crime Commis
sion.
Mentioned frequently in instan
stances of shakedowns before the
commission, Anastasia would
merely give his name. He is a
delegate of the AFL Internation
al Longshoremen’s Association.
His brother, Anthony, has been
identified as the lord high execu
tioner of the old Murder, Inc.,
mob.
A slim, nuttily-dfessed man in
his thirties, Anastasia gave his
name twice. Then he sat, thin
lips tight, and refused to say any
thing more.
As commission special counsel
fired questions at the swarthy,
silent, witness, Anastasia’s law
yer, Joseph P. Petite, jumped
up and challenged the legality
and constitutionality of the com
mission.
Anastasia was the first of several
labor bosses accused of graft to
appear before the commission.
The hearings, which began three
days ago, have revealed mob rule,
theft and padded payrolls to avoid
labor strife on the world’s biggest
waterfront.
