Two Brothers Rescued From Hill Cave Near Del Amo
In a late afternoon cave collapse south of Del Amo Boulevard, two brothers were rescued after being buried by dirt and rock. A motorcycle observer alerted Torrance police, and volunteers with fire crews conducted quick rescue and revival efforts. One boy raced home to tell his parents, while authorities credited rescuers with saving the children. In the same era, Florida magnate Wolfson was convicted and began a one year federal sentence at Eglin Air Force Base after a failed Supreme Court appeal. Fortas denied involvement with Wolfson cases and the Justice Department issued a cautious statement.
