MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Oregon, Thursday, January 8, 19S9 7 Plans to Return to His time had given him ud for dead in good condition with no apparent injuries more serious than a fractured toe and bruises. Stafford, who remained con scious throughout the full time, said, "I prayed every prayer I could think of. I could hear them digging above me, and the sound of those Social Security Payments Higher The number of people getting monthly old-age, sur vivors, or disability insurance payments under social security increased by 1.3 million dur ing 1958. This raised the total of beneficiaries to 12.4 mil lion by December, 1958, ac cording to W. V. Nusbaum, manager of the Medford of fice of the Social Security Administration. Payments at the rate of $695 million a month are now going to 6.9 million aged re tired workers, two million wives and dependent hus bands of retired workers, 1.3 million widows, dependent widowers and dependent par ents of deceased workers, two million widowed mothers and children, and to 300,000 dis abled workers and their de pendents. Benefit payments for the year totalled $8.6 bil lion. All of these people will re ceive the increase in benefit amounts provided by the 1958 amendments to the social se curity law, Nusbaum stated. The amended law provides for a general increase of about 7 per cent in each benefi ciary's monthly check. This increase - is effective with checks for January which will reach beneficiaries early in February. Beneficiaries need take no action to get their increased payments, Nusbaum said. $8.00 Bmmmn V sVWJ Will J J. 177951 g METAL BUNK BEDS-Complctc 30" Sixe 3'-3" Size....".. shovels was the most wonder ful thing I ever heard." . Gravel had to be taken out of the deep hole a bucketfull " at a time because of the ex treme possibility of another cave-in and the lack of room in which to work.- After the first three hours of digging, rescuers all but gave up hope Stafford could be alive under the five feet of gravel which had buried him. But one hour later they un covered him and found him alive. Saved By Metal Stafford was saved from al most certain suffocation by ' large sheet of metal used to shore up the sides of the hole to prevent cave-ins. When the hole's walls collapsed, the weight of the gravel bent the metal in a hood-like fashion around Stafford's head and created an air-pocket which enabled him to breath be neath the (rave. But it was the same strip of metal which pressed down on his right ankle and pinned him to the hard-packed gravel and prevented his rescue for an additional eight and a half hours after he was uncovered. Stafford dug at the gravel with his bare hands for frus trating hours on end in an at tempt to free his ankle, but he failed until a large crane was brought into the area and yanked the metal up a few inches allowing him to jerk free.
