The boy. Craig Cameron, crawled into an airtight foot locker and as he squeezed down into the box the lid fell and the lock snapped closed Remembering that the trunk key was lost, Mrs. Cameron called the fire and police departments and then took up her vigil beside the box, listening to her son's sobs become fainter and fainter as he used up the limited oxygen. When help failed to arrive. Mrs. Cameron ran to the street and stopped r. passing oil truck. The driver listened to only part of her story before picking up his tool i kit and rushing into the house. With a brace and bit he drilled a bole in the locker near the child's mouth. Mrs Cameron collapsed as she heard her son sucking precious air into hfs lungs through the tiny hole. Minutes later, police arrived, opened the trunk, and lifted out a weak but conscious little boy In the confusion, the truck driver repacked his tool kit, walked to his truck and drove away. No one thought to auk his name 0 ATTORNEY GENERAL rCnntinued From Page Oust contract with the government. Furthermore. he said, they refused to take any of the steps recommended by the government and thus "ignored the remedy which congress had provided for the peaceful settlement of exactly this type of problem."
