Youth Survives
Earth Shaft Fall
GILROY, Calif. (AP) A
Thanksgiving Day prayer was an
swered for the safety of a 2-year-old
boy trapped in a narrow hole
at a motel for nearly four hours.
When Todd Duncan, wno had
run off in midday to play with a
brother, tumbled into a hole eight
feet deep and only 14 inches
across, his parents feared the
worst.
Five hours later, however, Mr.
and Mrs. Marvin E. Duncan of
Gardena, Calif., prepared for a
joyous turkey feast. And Todd was
tucked in bed. his dirty face
washed and his tummy full of
turkey.
"We had a minute of thanks
at our meal. We normally do in
our family. But this time it had
much more meaning," said Todd's
father.
Duncan, 32, an electrical engi
neer, had anxiously stood over his
trapped son, peering into the hole
and talking to him while rescuers
worked. The hole had been dug
for a concrete foundation shaft for
a new building.
While Todd cried intermittently
and almost fell asleep at one point
his father spoke encouragingly:
"Toddy, don't cry. We'll get you
out of there soon."
Mrs. Duncan, 30, waited at the
nearby home of her mother, Ida
Jackson, with their three other
small children.
Rescue crews, administering
oxygen and using heavy equip
ment, drilled a three-feet hole
near Todd. Then they burrowed
across, reached below his waist
and pulled him up.
He was brought to Wheeler
Hospital, examined, and released.
German Socialists
Pick Willy Brandt
HANNOVER, Germany (AP)
The Social Democrats today unan
imously acclaimed West Berlin
Mayor Willy Brandt as their can
didate for chancellor, to run on
the most pro-Western platform the
party has ever framed.
The mayor, 47, was designated
months ago by leading Socialists
to be chancellor if the party wins
next year's national election.
The party's platform, called the
Hannover Appeal, and additional
party resolutions put the Social
ists firmly on the side of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion and even opened the way for
Socialist approval of atomic arms
for the army.
This is a major shift In policy
for the Socialists. For years they
have criticized the position-of-strength
program of Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer and his Chris
tian Democratic Union. In the
past the Social Democrats have
fought rearmament of West Ger
many, the draft, and any indica
tion that the government would
accept a possible NATO offer of
atomic weapons.
Socialist resolutions and speech
es left no doubt that they still do
not like these military steps, but
hard facts have Drought them to
accept a party platform that
greatly narrows the foreign Dolicv
gap between the Socialists and the
Christian Democrats.
Manufacturers Ask
Incentives, Curbs
NEW YORK (AP) The Na
tional Association of Manufactur
ers urged industrial tax incentives
and curbs on union power to off
set the growth of foreign economic
competition.
A special report disclosed Thurs
day by the association's economic
advisory committee noted the ra
pid spread of industrialization
abroad and recommended:
"Removing the tax barriers to
capital formation, authoriz
ing sound depreciation policies,
curbing the monopolistic powers of
labor unions and, in general, pro
viding the kind of economic cli
mate which is conducive to busi
ness growth and individual free
dom." The report said that "excessive"
union strength has been pushing
prices upward. Unions contend
that greater productivity has ac
companied higher wages.
The report contained no appeal
for higher tariffs or the cutting off
of international economic aid,

Contributing Count
Hits Mother Of 10
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) - A
mother of 10 is jailed here on
suspicion of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor the 16-year-old
boy she said she married
out of "true love."
Said Susan Elizabeth Young, 45,
now expecting her 11th child:
"I'm glad it's out in the open."
When she was arrested Wednes
day, Robert Buchanan, the youth,
burst into tears. "He didn t want
anything to happen to her," said
Sheriff's Detective Robert Majors.
Majors said the charge was
based on the woman's having led
Buchanan "into an illicit relation
ship," not because of the mar
riage. The ceremony was a proxy
rite performed Oct. 28 in Tijuana,
Mexico. i
Majors said the teen-ager had
been visiting Mrs. Young eve
nings, then returning to his par
ents' home for the night. He in
formed his mother of the mar
riage Wednesday and she called
authorities.
Mrs. Young had two previous
ex-mates, said Majors, and had
been living on a $279 welfare al
lotment for needy children. She
said she hoped to marry Buchan
an in California when "this is all
over, if they'll let me."
Eight of Mrs. Young s children
by her previous marriages live at
home.
The oldest is 25, and the young
est, 5. Mrs. Young said she and
Robert fell in love in June when
he came to her home to visit her
son, Robertl 19.
