Well-Digger
Work Despite Being Trapped in Hole
Bakersfield. Calif. - (UPD -
Well-digger Leslie Stafford
Jr., 45, hospitalized after be
ing trapped nearly 13 hours in
a cave-in while digging a
sump hole, said today he ex
pects to return to well-digging.
"I'll go back to work when
I get out of here," the plucky
125-pound Stafford said from
his hospital bed. "There's
bound to be some danger in
the construction business, but
you just don't think about it."
The danger Stafford refer
red to entailed in his case an
organizing ordeal of being
buried by a piece of metal 24
feet deep in the hole for an
other eight and a half hours.
Believed Dead
He emerged Wednesday
from the trying experience
during which rescuers at one

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.

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.
