Condolences Help Sove
Life of Identico! Twin
By CHARLES G. BROOKS

ny NuhNLES Os DnOOh0
Two strange condolences led
to the saving Of Louis Heilman's
life.
The lucky fact that Louis, Ill
with chronic pylonephritis. had
an identical twin brother. plus
the chance attendance at lee
trre by another brother, made
medical history.
When Jesse Heilman, the twin,
gave Louis his left kidney in
Boston early this month it was
proclaimed the second appar-
emily successful operation of its
kind in the world.
The kidney transplant took six
hours of the most delicate sur
gerry with two teams working on
the brothers simultaneously.
Louis. a.. was slowly dying Of
the rare disease. Later he would
be taken to the Peter Bent Brig
ham Hospital in Boston from his
home at 1920 Primrose road NV.
His twin brother. Jesse. Of
62l3 Nebraska avenue NV, was
frantic with worry. But he didn't
know how to help.
Heard Lecture on Topic
Then, one day, DR.. Charles
Heilman. another brother. hap
Ipened to attend lecture and
heard a researcher from the Ma
tional Institutes of Health men,
ton the kidney transplant Of the
Herrick twins more than a year
ago.
He called the doctor later.
We're only doing 1t on animals. {"
he researcher said.
But the twins you mentioned"
DIR. Holman said,
"Oh, they we're identical twins. "
the researcher said. He added
that it was a very rare instance
and he was sorry ifshe had lent
any false hope.
But" said DIR. Holman. my
brothers are identical twins"
Mrs. Jesse Holman. recalling
her brother-in-law's converse
ton, said there was a tense.
dramatic silence on the other
end of the line. Here was the
one in "a million chance.
The NH doctor told DR..
Holman about the Boston opera
ton. Eighteen such operations
had been done, but only one
that on the Identical twins-had
been successful.
Louis Holman was taken TO
Boston. He was tested and re-
tested. Jesse made several trips
to be tested, too. Pieces Of skin
from the brothers were grated
on each other. Generally. skin
gratis last only until the per-
sons own skin can regenerate
beneath the graft.
In identical twins the skin
can actually be transplanted.
It's didn't work with Jesse's
skin on Louis because Of his
condition. But Louis skin

Bank in Bond Issue
Participation Clarified

Fairfax County school officials
said today, 1t was not the First
National City Bank Of New York
which they had heard wouldn't
bid on their school bonds.
The bonds we're sold last week.
As the bids were opened. the
comment was made that First
National. City indicated earlier
1t would not bid.
School officials explained to-
day, however. that it was bank
with a similar name-and not
First National City-that was
rumored to be disinterested in
the bond sale. First National
City did submit a bid. The
other bank did not, a school
spokesman said.

had worked for full day. These,
although they had agreed to work
for the amount paid them, were very
dissatisfied and complained bitterly
to the householder.
This to me Is so symbolic Of the

Officials Heard
On Plea 10 Add
|1SO Teachers
Subcommittee Told
OF diversified Class
Problem in Schools

Washington school officials to-
day were hopeful that they had
convinced members Of the House
Appropriations Subcommi t tie e
lin charge of the District. budget
of the need to add 1870 additional
teachers to the school system.
They made their plea for the
extra teachers yesterday after
noon when the subcommittee
was considering the $37.8 million
school budget for the next fiscal
year.
The additional teachers would
add about 100000 to the funds
recommended for the schools by
the District Commissioners.
Representative Rabaut. Demo-
crat of Michigan, chairman OF
the subcommittee. was non-com-
initial. as were other members
of the group.
Committee Keeps Mum
Committee members are under
instructions to keep mum about
their decisions until the supply
bill has been taken before the
full Appropriations Committee.
The Commissioners decided
they could not recommend more
than 40 additional teachers be-
cause Of the state of District
finances. AS one official said,
the issue revolves around the
question Of available money.
The fiscal subcommittee Of
the House and Senate District
Committees will meet Monday
ito put the finishing touches on
the new District revenue bill,
designed to bring in an addi-
Itional Sol million a year. This
involves heavy new layers OF
taxes and a proposed So million
increase In the Federal payment.
The case for providing an adj
Iditional 100 teachers was pre-
scented by DR.. Hobart NJ. Corn
ing, superintendent Of schools.
who was backed up by three
members OF the Board Of Edu-
cation. They were c. Melvin
Sharpe, president Of the board.
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips and West
"A. Hamilton.
One member said "We were
given a very friendly and CO.
operative hearing. We were led
to believe that members OF the
subcommittee were impressed
with the outline of the school
problem"
Chance to Outline Need
The subject Of more teachers
than the Commissioners had
recommended was brought up by
Chairman Rabaut. giving the
school authorities full chance
to outline the need. It was re-
ported the subcommittee men,
bers inquired about the size of
the classes and that there was
discussion also OF whether it
would be possible to transfer some
junior and senior high school
teachers to the elementary
schools where the diversified class
problem prevails.
In advance Of the opening of
the District budget hearings
which are held behind closed
doors In keeping with House
practices-school officials were
sent notices advising them they
should not offer arguments for
funds in excess Of what was con-
tanned In the Commissioners
budget. District officials. how
ever, insist this is standard prac-
tice and that the same instruc-
tons went to all the city de-
partments.
Once a member of an appro-
priations subcommittee asks for
views or Information about
things not in the budget, the
wraps are of and officials are
free To testify. This was the
case yesterday.
The Rabaut Subcommittee will
resume its hearings Monday.
when the police and fire de-
partment budgets win be taken
up.

she added.
Miss Davis and I discussed
the relation of food to we'll

Il am rabid on food for

tritious. I am violent about
people who starve themselves

exclaimed.

While we were talking. l

She applied several applica-

skin was clear and lovely.
You can't remove all your

Giles of makeup are left on"
she explained while running
her lipstick over her lower lip
and then biting her lips to
give the line to her upper lip.

a very small mouth as you
may have noticed" she re-
marked. And when had

I commented.
AS rose to go. asked Miss
Davis what was the most valu-

been given.

something that has always

a thoughtful pause. He said,

HOLLYWOOD,

4AOAA1 VOOO.
When the names of Holly
woods all-time greats are re-
corded in cinema's Hall of
Fame. there is no question
that Bette Davis will be among
them. Her roles have varied
from Mildred, the sexy wait
resS in "Of Human Bondage"
to her majestic portrayal of
Queen Elizabeth.
How does one effect such a
dramatic change in type? How
successfully could this be tried
off stage? These questions
were playing in my mind as
1 watched Miss Davis iii a
mother and daughter scene
with Debbie Reynolds in The
Catered Affair" at MGM.
AS We walked across the lot
to Miss Davis dressing room
we chatted about the posi-
bility of changing ones type.
Il think it is possible to
change your type in everyday
life, but if you don't feel in
harmony with the change you
won't be very happy" she said
in her dramatic voice.

all the lingerie of that period.
1t helped me to nave the
rightly of posture that Queen
Elizabeth had. Her dresses
were so heavy and stiff that it
was like wearing armor.
Clothes set the manners"
Bette continued. How can
you slump in tightly-laced cor
sets? Today's clothes are easy
and casual. while our manners
are informal.
1T is not always easy to find
your type. Actresses are for
tunate in being helped with
their makeup, hair and clothes.
Some girls know what is right
for them intuitively but others
seem to be happy in what is
the very worst for them.

years" Bette confessed. MY
