“heartbroken over the boy’s death. ’
Timothy O’Bryan, 8, died Hal
loween night less than two hours
after eating powdered candy from a
Pixy Stix which medical examiners
said also contained cyanide.
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

Pasadena police and Dist. Atty.
Carol Vance would not discuss de

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.

pay increases totaling $1.35 over

HouTran, a management firm

increases totaling 80 cents.
The old contract that expired
Saturday night had a base pay of
$3.70 an hour increasing to $4.45

There was no indication of re

rush hours, compared to about a
dozen on a normal day.
Major downtown merchants and
employers reported little absen
teeism, saying many employes ap
parently made transportation ar
rangements in anticipation of the
strike.
The major effect of the strike ap
parently involved temporary and
part-time workers and poor or el
derly persons who use charity
health clinics.
Ben Taub General Hospital re
ported only about 80 percent of the
normal number of out-patients re
ported for treatment Wednesday.
Jefferson Davis Hospital reported
only about pne-half of the usual
number of outpatients received
treatment.
Both hospitals, however, re
ported low absenteeism for emp
loyes.
Luthern Gren, manager of a
domestic service, said he normally
has about 50 women looking for
work as maids each day but that only
one reported Wednesday.
Southwestern Bell Telephone

arrest late Monday night.
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.
We don’t think of ourselves as
radical, but we are concerned.

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.
