PROTEST DEATH
(N.Z. P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) SAN DIEGO (California), October 13.
A 36-year-old Buddhist woman burned herself to death in San Diego yesterday in what relatives said was a protest against the war in Vietnam.
The police said Miss Hiroko Hayaski, a Japnese-American, poured petrol over herself and lit it with a match in an alley behind her home. Her sister tried to put out the flames with a garden hose, but Miss Hayaski died in hospital less than an hour later.
