Body found near Trinidad TRINIDAD The body of Karen Frances Fisher, a pretty 21-year-old University of Colorado student at Boulder, who reportedly was visiting friends attending Humboldt State University, was found near here Sunday, a victim of murder and apparent rape. District Attorney John Buffington said the body was found by hikers in an isolated area near here at about 1:30 p.m. Buffington declined to state exactly where the bodv was found pending results of a homocide investigation. He said that the young woman showed no external wounds and appeared to have been strangled, although final determination of cause of death will have to await a coroner's investigation. Sheriff's detectives are interrogating a number of persons known to have seen Miss Fisher before her death in an effort to trace her movements.

Officers said the case bears some resemblance to the murder of Janet Lee Bowman, 19, whose partially disrobed body was found in brush off Highway 299 on Oct. 6,1975. Miss Bowman, a Humboldt State University student had also been throttled to death and apparently raped. Intensive investigation by sheriff's detectives was unable to uncover any leads to the murderer. Officers speculated that Miss Bowman, who was known to hitch-hike regularly, might have been raped and murdered by someone who picked her up.

Both women's bodies were discovered by chance. Officers feel that other bodies may lie long in Isolated parts of the county without being discovered. Numerous young women and men are reported missing every year. Most are probably simply runaways, officers say, but some may have met with foul play. Income slow WASHINGTON (UPI) The growth in personal income slowed in recession-struck lH7fi to a 7.9 per cent annual rate that barely kept pace with inflation, the Commerce Department reported today.

Personal income increased 9.5 per cent in 1974. The announcement said the largest gains last year were concentrated in wage and salary income. Investment and farm income grew at a lesser rate. The growth rate in personal income fell off sharply in December from November. After climbing $8.5 billion in November, the growth rate slowed to $5.2 billion December.

Personal income in the last month of 1975 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.3 trillion. Most of the December increase was centered in manufacturing payrolls, which rose $2.9 billion compared with $1 billion in November. Dividends fell $2.1 billion after remaining unchanged in November. Personal income for the year was estimated trillion, a gain of $91.3 Billion from 1974. Persona! income increased $100.4 billion in 1974.

Although the worst recession since World War II ended in the spring of 197S. unusually high unemployment rates persisted throughout the year. Extended jobless benefits helped maintain minimum living standards for unemployed workers, but the benefits were much lower in most cases than they would have gotten from wags and salaries.

Kennedy: while he was in the Navy he had an affair with a Danish woman journalist suspected of being a Nazi spy. The latest in a series of charges against the former president came in an article in the National Enquirer, which said Kennedy was transferred from Naval Intelligence to sea duty in 1941 because of it.

The Enquirer identitled the woman as Ingo Arvad, a former Miss Europe, working a i TimesHerald. Miss Arvad, who was under FBI surveillance, had had three interviews with Adolf Hitler while working for a Swedish newspaper and HRler called her a "Nordic beauty" the article said. Miss Arvad was also the mistress of Axel Wenner-Grcn, a Swedish Industrialist on the State Department blacklist. Capt. Samuel A.D.

Hunter, then Kennedy's superior, was quoted as saying that the Navy saw Miss Arvad as a latter day Mata Hari. "Their concern was that Ihls woman was using Ken- nedy to find out all she could about what was going on in the Navy Department and the Office of Naval Intelligence," Hunter is quoted as saying, "The Navy was convinced thai WennerGren's yacht was being used for refueling German U-Boats." Hunter said that Capt. a i a assistant director o( the Office of Naval Intelligence "wanted to get Kennedy out of the Navy quickly." pointed out lo i a that Kennedy's father had been ambassador to Great Britain and was close lo President Koosevelt and that Kennedy did not have access to any sensitive information. "It seemed lo me the best thing to do was transfer him to a seagoing unit," Hunter said." The newspaper for Northwestern California. 122 Since Chinese 'anchors' off Humboldt Bay SEVERAL days ago.
