Park Equipment Is

Glacier National Park equip

as a more conspicuous warning

The same color is used by the

The suggestion leading to the
change was made by Assistant

the Department of the Interior
presented a Certificate of Hon.

In wartime he served in the

Brazilian Army Officers Arrested

RIO DE JANEIRO, (P) The independent newspaper Diario de Noticias said Saturday military authorities had arrested about 30 army sergeantS and charged them with "organizing a military plot" to restore former President Ga.u- lio Vargas to power.
 The newspaper quoted author itatiVe sources as confirming the existence of a plot. Another news paper told a reporter last night il had a similar story but was with holding publication for lack of authoritative confirmation.
 Gen. Zenobio da Costa, one of the commanders of the Brazilian Expeditionary forces in the Ita4- ian campaign, in a speech Friday made what Diario de Noticias called yelled reference" to such a plot.
 Our country is living in one of the most critical moments in it's history" da Costa told some of his military colleagues. "Unfor- tunately there are some false Bra Zilians who are betraying the motherland and trying to suffo- cate it with the blood of their brothers"

This deplorable situation appears but
few days away at James Walker Memo

| A controversy between its management
and nurses has been dragging along for
weeks. It's origin may be traced to on or
about Aug. IA when the hospital is reported
to have received a statement on desired
working conditions from the North Carolina
State Nurses association. The hospital board
went on record on Nov. 19, according
to a statement later issued by it, as "being
ready and willing to discuss with its EN-
ployed personnel any matter pertaining
to their welfare and happiness" Anyone
who reads a newspaper is well aware that
the board and nurses have been unable to
settle their differences. Last Wednesday,
the dispute came to a dramatic climax
with the mass resignation of 38 of the in
tstitution's trained nurses. This large group
represents the entire staff, with exception

The nurses action may be considered, in
effect, potential walkout.
Shortly after their intentions were reveal

announced that the hospitals services

are carried out"

It would not be difficult to fill the col

WARP" One hastens to add that
this is rhetorical question
which we shall try to explain.
l think the chief reason they
don't make a clean break il that
both sides are appalled, with the
gravity of trying to run two
worlds in an atomic age. They
hate to admit officially that
there are two worlds.
Moreover, neither side is abb
solutely sure of the real strength
of the other. For that matter
they aren't sure of their own
strength, in some instances.
That is true of the crisis in
France and Italy. Communist
striking-power in those two
countries hasn't yet been put to
the final test and therefore is
an unknown quantity to both
Moscow and to the Western De-

With this comparison naturally comes

If the problem can be solved in Charlotte
nurses there have voted to deal directly

Commissioners.
Why representation from the latter two
bodies?
Because they are allocating $4,000 dur
ing the current fiscal year for the care OF
Gndigent patients at James Walker Memo
rial and Community hospitals. The former
will receive well over half of this amount
lof taxpayers money.
The four would then choose fifth mem
ber from the public at large. And any at
tempt at arbitration should be based on a
thorough study of salary schedules
and working conditions at comparable in
stitutions throughout the state. The group
should also consider the charges these hos
pitals are making to the public. Nurses
here do not have the right to demand more
than is being granted elsewhere; neither
does the management have the right to
make demands which do not prevail at
other institutions.
It would be community disgrace for
Wilmington to accept the boards statement
that service will be necessarily curtailed
on December 18 without making concert

the principle the Marshall Plan for aid
Europe is found widespread in the latest Gallup Poll.

of the various arguments given
in favor of the Marshall Plan, the
one which seems most effective
with the public is the argument
that it will halt the spread of
Communism in Europe.
This argument is more effec-
tive among all groups - those
best-informed about the Marshall
Plan and those least informed
than the argument that a large
part of the Marshall Plan funds
will be spent here in this country.
To test reactions, the Institute
presented a brief description of
the Marshall Plan, using two
questions which included estima-
ted dollar costs Of the plan. One
question explained the plan in
terms of spending dollars for
goods in the United States. The
other, put to a separate but COM
parable cross-section of voters,
explained it in terms of improv-
ing conditions in Europe and
keeping European nations from
going Communist.
Below is the vote of various
groups, ranging from those who,
in the questioning showed them
selves best-informed about the
Marshall Plan to thosee who
have heard of the plan but said
they did not know what it pro-
posed.
