Bowlus to the presidency of the Pasadena Educational Association for the 1953 year. Bowlus won the run-off, 410 to 376, after Pasadenas teachers had deadlocked in the initial balloting.

He said: "The Association, as I see it, is a representative of ail Pasadena teachers to the board.

"Things of importance to teachers salary, tenure, and continual betterment of conditions are all of primary regard to the association. When approached on the subject of the selection of a new school superintendent, Bowlus indicated that he did not want to comment. He did note that the board can be depended upon to select a man equal to the task. Bowlus maintained that he was very fortunate to have defeated Hallman for the presidency. He lauded his opposition highly and stated: "I hope to utilize Ralph Hallmans abilities to the betterment of the association throughout the 1953 year.

The first official meeting of the PEA under its newly-elected president will be held at 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5, in Pasadena City Colleges library conference room.

Mrs. White said he had never revealed his secret. Dr. White took a fatal dose of cyanide at his home, 1496 Rose Villa last Sunday. He had been a Pasadena resident for 42 years.

Doctors at University of nois Research and Educational Hospital said the complication involved the absorption of blood vessel sutures into the body, which normally occurs about nine days after an operation. The 15-month-old twins were separated at the top of the skull last Wednesday. By Friday, it was said, the absorption would be about complete.

Then the spliced blood vessels of the twins must be strong enough to carry blood, or hemorrhage or clots may result. However, doctors said they were encouraged by the fact that the twins are still living despite many other complications that could occur. Rodney Dee, strongest of the twins, remained conscious but in critical condition. Roger Lee, in a continuous coma since the operation, still was listed very precarious.

McMillan told city board members that a boost already proved for 50 of the biggest customers, industries and commercial establishments, would be sufficient. He said the big consumers had been getting power at less than cogt.

Vice-Mayor Clarence A. Winder noted that after Jan. 1 the city will have to pay 29.8 cents per 1000 cubic feet for fuel as against the present 21 cents.
