JORDAN MARSH Replies from over 1600 doctors who specialize in internal medicine showed twice as many preferred the formula of extra-strength Anacin for headache pain over that of the other leading extra-strength tablet. These doctors certainly know their pain-relievers and this was verified by another medical report that proved Anacin gives the same powerful pain-relief from headaches as the leading prescription.

Yet Anacin needs no prescription. And costs far less. Extra-strength Anacin Tablets work fast. Headache goes in minutes so its nervous tension goes, too. Anacin lets you do a better job-lets you function better.

Despite its strength, Anacin is not narcotic. Not habit-forming. It makes good sense to take fast acting, extra-strength Anacin-the pain-reliever preferred by twice as many doctors. Former Rep. Michael S.

Dukakis, unsuccessful democratic candidate for lieu- Newton man held in death of wife, 42 A Newton educational consultant was arraigned on a murder charge in Newton District Court today in connection with the death of his wife in 1969. Wallace, J. Fletcher, 55, of 351 Otis West Newton, pleaded innocent before District Court Judge Francis J. Larkin. Judge Larkin released Fletcher in $10,000 bail and continued the case until Mar.

9. An inquest into the death of Dr. Patricia 42, was held in early February. She was found dead of a bullet wound in the head last November shortly after returning home from an evening out with her husband. Mrs.

Fletcher was the admitting officer of the Vet- erans' Administration Hospital in Jamaica Plain. They had three children. Fletcher at one time was president of the Western Metropolitan Regional Council, an anti-poverty program, covering Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Arlington and Brookline. He surrendered to Capt. John McMullen, head of the Newton detective bureau, at police headquarters at 8:30 this morning after police obained a murder warrant.

The inquest into the death was requested by Newton Police Chief William F. Quinn after an investigation by his department and the Middlesex District Attorney's office. Chief Quinn said Mrs. Fletcher "died suddenly and violently" in her home. JORDAN MARSH LIMITED TIME ONLY! SAVE tenant governor last fall, today urged the legislative committee on insurance to support a bill extending the no-fault concept to property damage auto insurance.

Dukakis said the bill filed by him was drafted by Prof. Robert E. Keeton of Harvard Law' School, co-sponsor of the original no-fault proposal. Dukakis bill would give a motorist three options for property damage coverage on a no-fault basis: 1 He could choose to carry no insurance but would be barred from making any claim against another person for damage to his own car. 2 He could carry property damage covered 33 Towle sterling silver 1 I'M 'Iff! 71 'J 1 'i I by his own company which would pay him only if he could prove someone had negligently damaged his car.

3 He could carry no-fault property damage similar to his present form of collision insurance which would pay for property damage to his cars under all circumstances and without regard to the other's negligence. Dukakis said there was no reason for delay in extending property damage to the no-fault concept now in operation. He said the failure to include this in the no-fault bill last year made a property damage rate increase almost inevitable. Dukakis added that it also produced a situation under which the fault system exists for property damage while it has been eliminated for the vast majority of personal injury claims. 12-pc.
