Leader by Four Shots

BY the Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH. Fla,
Jan. 6.-Babe Zaharias practically
nailed down another top golf prize
today when she pulled away from
the field in the second round of
the $4,000 Ponte Vedra Club open.
The Babe shot a steady 1886
IA for 36-hole total of 149.
Her one-over- round put her
four strokes ahead of 17-year-old
Marlene Bauer. They tied with
rs in yesterdays opening Is holes
but the younger of the two Bauer
sisters from Midland, Tex, had
putting trouble today and used
up IS strokes over the par 37-36-
73 Oceanside course.
Patty Berg Next at 154.
Patty Berg of Minneapolis went
around the 6.715-yard layout in
38-38-76 and came within a
stroke of Marlene at 154.
The Babe, new golf course owner
from Tampa, putted for brides
on 13 holes on her second round
but she never got a one. She hi
her irons true to the pin all day
and the only time she got in
trouble was on the 395-yard fourth
hole.
Her drive was too strong and
went into the water hazard. That
cost her stroke to par and she
was even with it the rest of the
day.
Young Marlene was also right
down the middle with her woods
and irons but her puts were just
coming close. She never made
good on a long one.
Louise Suggs Fourth.
Louise Suggs of Carrolton. Ga.
who has been hampered BY
blistered hands, said they were
some better today and her rounc
of II indicated an improvement
She stood fourth at 1856 and Betty
Jameson of San Antonio was next

Ransom displayed a bagful of
hot irons, including his putter,
and Snead displayed an erratic
game.
Slammin' Sam got off with a
birdie four on the first hole,
thanks to a fine approach up
three feet to the pin. But he ran
into trouble on the third and
fourth holes, missing a five-foot
putt on the third and leaving him
self a 20-footer on the next. From
then on it was only trouble for
Snead.

las, scored six brides and was one
over par on only one hole, the
eleventh, when he drove into the
trees.
The 39-year-old pro. winner of

pionship" in Chicago in 1850, said
he thought he played better golf
with his 10 yesterday. But today
he was sinking puts ranging from

476-yard second hole, to three and
o half feet on the 18th green.
Ransom's card read 32-34-66.

Son, 18, Braces Wall
With Back 7Hours in
Well Digger's S Rescue
Oregon Roneher Soved
After Being Pinned for
l8 Hours by Cuve-in
By the Associated Press


PENDLETON, Greg, Dec. TO-
A 51-year-old rancher. trapped
for 18 hours in a 15-foot well
while heavy digging equipment
churned about him, was brought
to safety today.
At the Pendleton Hospital
where he was taken after the
dramatic rescue in sub-freezing
temperatures, doctors described
his condition as good"
The rancher. Norman Vina
Ford, 81, was pinned to the well
bottom with his foot under a
plank when the walls caved in
at 1880 am. (PST) yesterday
At $50 this morning, he was
lifted to the surface.
Mr.. Ford's 18-year-old son
Leon, was the hero of the rescue
operation. He was helping his
father sink the well but was
working on the surface when the
walls collapsed. Leon jumped ir
and began digging his father out
with his hands. Neighbors who
had been called lowered buckets
to the youth.
Son Braces Back.
Leon had his father uncovered
down to the knees when the walls
caved in a second time. Leon
spotting another section of the
wall about to give way, braced
his back against the crumbling
section. He remained there for
seven hours.
1t took that long for a crew
with digging equipment to arrive
from nearby Umatilla, where Nc
Nary Dam is under construction.
AS hundreds watched under the
glare of searchlights, John Nor
ton of the McNary Dam con-
tractors took charge of the rescue.
He had a 24-inch iron pipe forced
down around the trapped man.
That prevented further cave-ins.
When the pipe was in place,
Leon was brought to the surface.
He was put to bed with a mild
case of shock.
Son Said He Was Scared.
Later the youth said of his
seven hours in the we'll: II was
scared a little-mostly when
saw more dirt falling down on
Dad little bit at a time"
After the pipe was slipped
around Mr.. Ford's head and shoul-
ders, huge diggers began widening
the mouth of the well to SO feet
across. The last several hours
rescuers dug with their hands and
small shovels. The pipe was re-
moved and Ford was propped up
in the middle Of the now huge
ditch. He was weak, but still con-
scious, as rescuers uncovered his
feet.
Mrs. Ford remained at the top
of the hole, calling down encour-
agement to her husband through
the afternoon until rescuerS asked
her to leave.

Nursing Homes Need
Area Survey Indicates
Critical Shortage Of
Care for Elderly Persons
By Wallace {. CIoyton

Construction of new Govern
ment or non-prof1t facilities for
the care Of the chronically i'll may
be advocated as a result of a
nearly completed survey Of the
nursing home situation by a spe-
cial United Community Services
Subcommittee.
Members of the UCS Subcom-
mittee on institutional care indi-
cate that additional non-private
facilities may be the only answer
to the increasingly acute problem
of what to do with elderly persons
who need supervised care. More
than a dozen private nursing
homes have closed as result of
ia District fire regulations crack
down. The profit margin for
many still open is becoming in
creasingly slim.
DR.. Cornely Statement.
DR.. Paul B. Cornely, medical di-
rector of Freedmen's Hospital and
chairman Of the subcommittee,
says:
"The problem presented by the
greatly reduced number of beds
available to the chronically i'll
must be brought to the attention
of the Commissioners and the pub
lic."
Mrs. MARITIME McNeill, social
service director at the Home for
Incurables, describes the con-
valescent bed shortage as "the
most acute health problem facing
the District today"
First move in the campaign to
create community awareness"
will be presentation of the sub
committees report and recommen-
dations to an upcoming meeting
of the UCS Health Section.
Group Founded in 1850.
The subcommittee was formed
in January, 1850, to study the
neglected area" of nursing home
care% The problem was made more
acute early this year when the
District Building Inspectors office
ordered 81 private nursing homes
to make major fire prevention
construction changes.
To date, IA of the homes have
closed rather than spend an aver
age of ST, 900 to revise their homes.
The rest have either filed plans
with the office or asked a hearing
from the Board of Special Ap-
'peals.
Homes which comply with the
fire regulations. however, will face
a new hurdle next year. when the
Health Department will establish
a code Of minimum requirements
covering care, sanitation and
other health standards. At pres
ent, nursing homes must meet only
the general health regulations
covering private dwellings.
