Inmate at Enfield Severely Burned A 30-year-old inmate at the state's minimum security prison in Enfield was severely burned Friday morning and state police are investigating the possibility that he was set on fire. Thomas Gay, who had lived in Wethersfield, was listed in critical condition Friday in Yale New Haven Hospital's burn center. Authorities said he had burns on 90 percent of his body. Both the state police major crime squad and the fire marshal's office were investigating the burning Friday.

A state police source said that investigators were looking into the possibility that one or more inmates doused Gay with a flammable liquid while he was in his cell and set him on fire. The incident was reported at 3:15 a.m. As of Friday afternoon, state police had no suspects in the case. Gay, who was serving a to five-year term, was convicted of a drug related charge last October. Garwood returned to the United States early last year after spending almost 14 years in Vietnam.

He has pleaded innocent to the desertion and collaboration charges and could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted. A 10th-grade dropout, Garwood joined the Marines at age 17 and was a 19-year-old jeep driver when he disappeared near Danang in 1965. After resurfacing in Hanoi last year, he said he had been held prisoner for all those years. However, several former POWs said they encountered Garwood in the prison camps of North Vietnam. They said he sometimes carried a gun and bragged of being an officer in the North Vietnamese army.

Defense attorneys unsuccessfully sought dismissal of the military charges on grounds that the Nixon administration had a policy against prosecuting returning POWs. They pointed out that no other American has been charged in connection with their actions while in POWs camps in Vietnam. Barbara Loden, Actress, Dies NEW YORK (AP) Actress Barbara Loden, who won awards for her work on both stage and screen, died Friday at Mount Sinai Hospital at the age of 48 after a two-year battle with cancer. She was the wife of stage and film director and novelist Elia Kazan. Miss Loden made her New York theater debut in 1947 in "Compulsion." Other plays included "The Highest Tree" with Robert Redford and "Night Circus" with Ben Gazzara.

She won a Broadway Tony award for her role of Maggie in the Lincoln Center Repertory Company's presentation of Arthur Miller's "After the Fall" in 1964. The role was considered to have been modeled after Miller's former wife, Marilyn Monroe. An attractive blonde, Miss Loden was quiet and somewhat shy in real life, but behind the footlights became viviacious, moody, talkative whatever the role required. Fellow artists described her as intensely serious about her career. Miss Loden's first movie was "Wild River," with the late Montgomery Clift.

Roles followed in "Splendor in the Grass," with Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty, and "Fade In," with Burt Reynolds. She won the International Critics Prize for best film 1970 Venice Film festival for "Wanda," which she wrote, directed and starred in. In recent years she had directed offBroadway plays. Her last stage appearance was earlier this year in "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean." Born Barbara Anne Loden in Marion, N.C., she was married to Kazan in 1967. She also leaves two sons and her father, George Loden.
