Tot Sleeps During Release from Drain

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP)—Tiny Susan Culp saw no reason for all the excitement when her foot became wedged in a cellar drain yesterday.

So she dropped off to sleep while her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Culp, three police officers and a doctor worked frantically to free her.

They finally succeeded by knocking a hole in the cement floor and removing part of the drain pipe. Sixteen-month-old Susan slept right through all the pounding.

She was still snoozing when her mother carried her up to bed.
