Man Survives
6OAgoniized
Hours In Wreck

MACON, Ca, R-"He blew his
horn until the car battery went
dead. He yelled until he was
hoarse."
Thus did Mrs. M. E. Ballard to-
day today describe the ordeal If
her 61-year-old husband who, both
arms and q leg broken, spent 60
hours in torture in his wrecked
automobile.
Ballard, a salesman, was found
near death yesterday in the wreck
age of his auto in dense wooded
growth alongside U. S. 23 four
miles south of nearby Cochran.
Critical To-day
He remained in critical condi-
ton today at a Macon hospital but
was able to give Mrs. Ballard
fragmentary details of his acci-
dent and two nights in near-freez-
ing weather.
''He left home about a quarter
to nine Tuesday," she said. He
told us he blacked out about $50
while driving alone"
His car careened across a field
and down an embankment. It was
in easy shouting distance of much
Travelled U. S. 23 but a heavy
stand of trees laced with dense
underbrush screened it from sight.
In Great Pain
Ballard not only was helpless
but was in great pain. One leg,
an ankle and some ribs were
broken. Both wrists were snapped.
He was trapped in the wreckage
all day Tuesday, Tuesday tight
all day Wednesday and all of
Wednesday night. Then an un.
identified Negro found him and
called for help.
Doctors said they would not
have believed he could have sur.
vived if they had not seen him
alive.
Said his wife:

6TS.
The bids were received Monday
night by the city commission and
turned over to Lang for closer
study.
Lang said that the insurance plan
is the second step in a program
of making municipal employment
more attractive that he advoc ated
when he took office more than a
year ago. The first innovation he
suggested became q reality when
a city credit union was organized
more than nine months ago.
Increases Efficiency
The insurance plan, Lang said.
will aid the city by increasing the
efficiency Of comparatively low /.
paid city workers by relieving
them of the worry of meeting un-
expected medical bills.
Twice In the past year, city
workers earning only about $50 per
week, have been hit with hospital
bills running into the hundreds of
dollars" said Lang, "and a worker
continually worrying about his
home affairs because of a bad
break isn't much use 10 the city,
as a workman. !"
He pointed out j free
of the burden ef s..su rlfisncial pro.
blems have fewer accidents. pro
duce more work and cause less
dissension on the job. Lang added
that the city is the biggest indus
try in Key West"
Paid BY City sS
The insurance program cover.
ing the workmen will be paid for
by the city at a cost of a little
more than $1,000 annually. II the
workers wish to include their fami-
lies, they may do so by authoriz.
ing a salary deduction of about
$l.30 per week.
Benefits include the payment of
Ss per day, Cup to 81 days) for
disqualification; $160 during hospi-
talization for "extras (x.rays, am
bulance service, indications, etc);
S. per day Cup to 81 days) for doc.
tors bills; 5000 for surgical bene-
fits; $50 for pregnancy; $50 for de.
livery costs; $50 for emergency
out-patient treatment and a 5000
polio benefit.
The insurance setup is separate
from the city's workmen's com
pensation coverage.
Considerable study has been nec-
essary on the seven bids submitted
Monday, because of the fact that
all OF them vary to some extent.
"We'n just have to screen the
fine print to determine which gives
the best coverage at lowest cost. /"
said Lang today.

came up with one ultimatum

tinued Mr.. Trevor. "It is the 4th

tizens will start travelling north

Slow Motion

Only Ten Jurors
Are Seated As

BY WILLIAM NEwKIRk

CLEVELAND R - Six house
wives and four men were in the
jury box today as the murder trial
of DR.. Samuel Sheppard moved
into Its fifth day.
With 10 jurors now tentatively
seated, it appeared the state may
be able to start presenting its case
sometime next week. The state

Two more jurors must be picked
before the prosecution and defense
can use their peremptory chal-
lenges to dismiss jurors they do
not want. Each side can dismiss
six jurors without reason.
For the juror picked as an al
ternate, each side has two peremp-
tory challenges.
Sex Angle In Case
Questioning of the prospective
jurors has indicated that sex and
circumstantial evidence will play
big roles in the trial.
All three women seated yester-
day are housewives. They are
Mrs. Beatrice Orenstein, wife Of
a postal clerk; Mrs. Margaret Z.
Adams, whose husband is a vice
president of a metal products firm;
and Mrs. Grace L. Prinz, wife Of
a packing company foreman.
Another woman was on the stand
as the examination continued this
morning. This time it was a shape
ly young brunette, Mrs. Bette
Marie Parker, who works as an
inspector in General Electric Co.
plant.
More than an hour after the
fifth days session opened, Mrs.
Parker was dismissed when de-
fense attorneys brought out that
she had discussed the case with
relatives and friends during the
past week.
During a recess, chief defense
attorney Corrigan said he had had
no advance information about Mrs.
Parker's conversations.
Suspicion Reused
He became suspicious, he said,
while Garmone was questioning
her.
The prospective jurors had been
instructed not to discuss the case
in any way, shape or manner.
Judge Blythin asked Mrs. Park
er: why did you permit people
to converse with you about this
case?"
"We didn't actually discuss the
case, SIR" she said, apparently
unaware of the limitations placed
on her.
Mrs. Parker first admitted she
had talked the case over with her
sister, since the trial began.
