ectly below the bedroom window.

Four Men Buried In
Colorado Snowslides
OURAY, Colo, C/Pf— Four men
were swallowed up by thunder
ing snowslides in southwestern
Colorado Friday and workers dug
into tons of packed snow Satur
day in an effort to reach them.
All four were feared dead.
Diggers kept a wary eye on the
slopes above them because of the
danger of further slides.
Because of the snow depth and
the zero temperatures, veteran
officers said there is a possibility
the men might not be found until
spring.
Wives of some of the four men
went as close to the scene as they
could, clinging to a faint hope
they might be dug out alive. The
snow is 11 feet deep on the level
in this area.
Three of the men were trying
to rescue a fourth man entombed
in a slide when they were caught
by a fresh avalanche.
The four are Ted Mason, 42,
Walt Smith, 45, Danny Gerrell,
27, and Mike Muransky, 40, all of
Oray. All are married and had
children.

Concern Felt That
Roy Campanella May
Never Walk Again
GLEN COVE, N.Y., UR—There
was considearble concern that Roy
Campanella, Los Angeles Dodg
ers catcher, might never walk
again.
Campanella is paralyzed from
the chest down as the result of
an automobile accident Jan. 28
when he suffered a broken neck.
After an emergency operation he
recovered sensation in the upper
part of the body, could move his
fingers but now the paralysis con
dition apparently has become
stagnant.
Campanella would be bed-rid
ren for life if the fading of the
paralysis has stopped perman
ently, but could walk again if it
resumes.
“He is taking his plight cheer
fully,” said the hospital admin
