bile home parked nt the Lake Mea-
dows shopping center, vowing to
broadcast continuously for 24 hours

twiee daily by a physician.
Spann and Lee were the last two of
tho seven to greet the "Sund Man,"
falling asleep Thursday night, some
87 and So hours, respectively, after
the "Sleepless Sit in" began. How-
ever, by that time, the $20,000 for
COFO was near realization.
Spann and Lee both entered Provi-
dent hospital, as a precautionary
measure, and were reported In good

several months ago made the facilities
available to the Chicago branch of
the NAACP to conduct a "radio-thon"
to boost the organization's annual
membership and fund drive.

CHICAGO—Fifteen persons enme
forward last week to lay claim to
close to $800,000 left by a Chieago

ns third cousins of the decensed gam-
bler.
The fortune — $780,000 — mo«t of
which was found in the south side
home he shared with his common-law
white wife, Hose Kennedy, was left by
Lawrence Wakefield when he died of
a heart attack earlier this year.
The 15 persons join Mrs. Kennedy
and a woman who described herself
as Wakefield's daughter, in claiming
the fortune, amassed from the opera-
tion of two policy wheels.

$200,000 Awarded
Man in Ford
Plant Accident
By the Associated Negro Press
DETROIT — Damages totaling
$200,000 were awarded a Detroit man
against the Ford Motor company in
Wayne county circuit court here last
week, in what was reported to be one
of the largest judgments in the his-
tory of the county.
Vhe huge judgment was awarded
to Samuel Harrison and his wife,
Thelma. for injuries Harrison suffered
in a blast furnace accident nt the
Ford company seven years ago.
A jury, in the court of Judge Thom-
as Brennan found the Ford company
guilty of negligence in the case. The
Michigan foundation, which was nam-
ed as co-defendant with the Ford
company in the suit, was found not
negligent.
The jury awarded the $200,000 in
dumages to the Harrisons after hear-
ing medical testimony that the injured
man would be "totally and permanent-
ly disabled for the rest of his life."
Harrison has been unable to work
since the accident.
Harrison suffered the injury while
cleaning Ford company furnaces. Har-
rison worked for the McKee company,
engaged in the cleaning of industrial
furnaces.
In 1957, the McKee company was
contracted by Ford to clean furnaces
at ita huge Iliver Rouge plant. How-
ever, before the job was undertaken
by the company, the Michigan founda-
tion began the cleaning work, using a
"blasting method."
But the blasting method uaed by the
Michigan company failed to complete
tho job, aa some loose scab atill re-
mained on the walla of the furnaces.
Therefore, the McKee company was
called In to complete the cleaning with
picka and bars.
Harrison and other men were work-
ing inaide the furnace in 100 degree
temperature and at approximately 40
feet above the floor level when some
of the scab came loose, knocking Har-
riaon to the floor and causing him se-
rious head injuries.
The trial ran for six weeks and in-
cluded testimonies from experts on
blasting techniques, industrial safety
and general industrial techniques for
both plaintiff and defendants.
