Harrison said he was asked to enter the case at the request of a client who is O’Bryan’s uncle. The O’Bryan family may retain another lawyer later, he said. “In the meantime, I am trying to protect this man’s rights,’’ Harrison said. An examining trial determines whether the state has sufficient evi dence to send a case to a grand jury. Pasadena police and Dist. Atty. Carol Vance would not discuss de tails of the case with newsmen but said they believe they have suffi cient evidence to back the charge filed against O’Bryan, 30, after bis ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE "Where satisfaction is standard equipment" 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 Nixon taking short walks; new complications reported PLANT MART SURPRISE SOMEONE WITH FRESH CUT FLOWERS 313-B College Main Open Mon-Sat 10-6 Sunday 12-6 846-5689 LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Former President Richard M. Nixon has a new complication, a slight case of pneumonia which is being fought with antibiotics, his doctor said Wednesday. The condition — called pneumonitis — was apparently not considered serious. Dr. John C. Lungren said that, over-all, Nixon was exhibiting “slow but gradual improvement since he was placed on the critical list last week follow ing phlebitis surgery, although he was still listed in subintensive, or serious, condition. Aided by nurses, Nixon has been taking brief walks around his hospi tal room. The pneumonitis, which Lun gren said was centered in a part of the right lung, was presumably re sponsible for the partial collapse of that organ which was disclosed Tuesday. Lungren had said that the partial collapse was caused by atelectasis, or “inactive area of living tissue’’ in the lung. He said tests were being run to determine its nature. Nixon has suffered numerous complications since his surgery. He remained on the critical list for six days after he went into shock for three hours from internal bleeding after the surgery. Meanwhile, a nurse gave repor ters her account of how Nixon went into shock last Tuesday. Andrea Evanson said she had been helping Nixon to stand up when “he stated he felt very weak. ” She said the 61-year-old former president went unconscious for a second, his pressure dropped and his pulse increased. He was tilted in bed with his head low and feet high, and she said she administered oxygen. “I never thought that we might lose the patient,” the nurse said. Lungren was called, and he gave Nixon blood and other fluids to counteract the shock. Lungren said later that Nixon nearly died and that only quick action saved him. Nixon was readmitted Oct. 23 to Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach.

Sources close to the five-day in vestigation, however, said the charge was filed after O’Bryan took a polygraph test and after the discov ery the father had recently taken out one or more life insurance policies on the son. The Rev. Jimmie Jones, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, said he talked with O’Bryan at the jail and that O’Bryan emphasized his inno cence. “He doesn’t have any idea of why the police charged him,” the Rev. Mr. Jones said. O’Bryan and his family have been active workers at Second Baptist Church. Timothy was buried Saturday. A friend of the family told news men O’Bryhn memorialized his son Sunday night by paraphrasing “Blessed Assurance” during church The man said O’Bryan sang the hymn this way “This was Tim’s story, this was Tim’s song, praising his Savior all the day long.” “There wasn’t a dry eye in the church when he was through,” the friend said. Jimmy Bates, a Pasadena friend who was with O’Bryan and three youngsters while trick-or-treating, said O’Bryan carried the candy col lections after rain-soaked bags broke. Bates said he does not know where the Pixy Stix came from but that he remembers seeing them somewhere along the route the group followed. O’Bryan is being held under $100,000 bond.

Tower predicts heavy spending from Congress AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — Sen. John Tower, R-Tex, said Wednesday the nation should brace itself for another round of highly inflationary spending by an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress. ” Tower, who was not up for re- election this year, said that “a great many fine, well-qualified Republi can candidates fell victim to economic conditions over which they—and the White House—had no control. “The Democrats have been in control of Congress but now they have even more power and that car ries with it even more responsibil ity. My guess is that, unless the Democratic majority changes direc tion and exercises more fiscal re sponsibility than they have in the past, the pendulum will swing back two years from now to a more fisc ally responsible viewpoint rep resented by the Republican Party ” Tower said in a statement issued L his office here.
