Church Pastor Aids Family in Desperate Straits
Mrs. Phyllis Clark and her husband Bernard were jailed on grand theft charges after selling mortgaged furniture to pay for their month old Brock’s brain operation. Pastor Gustafson of Evangelical United Brethren Church in Los Angeles visited in jail and urged donations to help the distressed family. Brock’s condition at General Hospital was listed as fair, while other children remained in Juvenile Hall. A separate arson incident near a Norwalk hotel led to the arrest of Orville Ostrdisk after a blazing trash can and a staged beacon to attract help.
