H. E. Boyd, traffic manager of
the Wilmington Port Traffic as
ISOLATION, and J. H. Farrell, city
industrial agent, have been ap-
pointed a committee of two to
watch any substitute bills which

Boy. who spoke at a public
hearing in Raleigh on Feb. 25,
further said that the bill would

ed by a statement from the
N. C.. education association that
the measure would not provide
the tutors with a 80 per cent boost
unless the salary increments the
teachers receive for experience are
taken into consideration. Some
members of the appropriation
group were under the impression
that the funds made available
would provide an increase Of 80
per cent without the increments.
With the regular appropriations

but the institutions have filed with
the committee requests for an ad-
ditional $40, 900, 900 worth OF pro-
jects.
One of the first items in the
permanent improvements bill
would appropriate SO, 100, COO for
expansion Of the University Medi-
cal school. With 81. 500, 900 expected
in federal funds, a total of S.
290, 600 would be available to en-
large the medical school and
build a 400-bed hospital.
The expanded medical school
has been recommended by the
medical care commission as a
part of its program calling for
the construction of hospitals and
health centers throughout the state.

haps permit release Of some sol
diers from other work, and ma
chine tools to lessen the manpower
demands of Turkish industry.
So far as was publicly reported
here, the Turks themselves had
made no plea for direct outside
aid. The Turkish assistance pro-
gram as discussed here would be
on a much smaller scale than the
program for Greece.
The Turkish and Greek problems
are closely interrelated.
Following Mr.. Truman's cancel
lation of the Caribbean trip on
which he was to have left today,
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
announced during the day that he
has abandoned plans to attend the
fleet maneuvers in the Caribbean
Sea. He was to have left Monday.
No reason was given for the can
collation. but it was believed that
Forestal is remaining here for dis
cussions on the Greek situation.
The late reports on what Britain
has been doing toward meeting
obligations in Greece yere given
by Lord Inverchapel, the British
Ambassador, who conferred with
Undersecretary Of State Dean
Acheson at the state department
at the latter's request.
Reliable diplomatic informants
said there remains a chance" that
Britain will retain some RESPONSE
bility in Greco despite a decision
to withdraw about half of the re-
naming 10000 to $4,000 Tommies
Immediately and the remainder by
the end of the summer. These in
formants said this will depend up
on the extent and nature OF Ameri-
can aid.
Mr.. Truman was reported to be
considering scaling down his pro-
Jected request to congress for d.
rect authority to supply American
aid to Greece.
Although Mr.. Truman was given
$3.50, DOC, 900 would be needed this

year to put the Greeks back on
their feet economically, govern
ment officials who have been work.
Ing on the specific bill of parti-
culars said only a fraction of the
total might require action by con-
gress.
To make up the difference, the
use OF surplus property and export.
import bank credits has been
thoroughly explored since Britain
served notice of inability to con-
tInue the Greek regime.
A large share of a proposed
$3.50, 900, 600 relief appropriation for
liberated countries is earmarked
to supply food, clothing and other
emergency aid to Greece.
Ultimately. too, Greece is ex-
pected to try to qualify for a loan
from the world bank.
To head off threatened initiation,
the Athens government has plead
ed, however, for $40, 900, 900 or
more without delay to bolster its
currency, plus undisclosed sums to
pay the army engaged in sup
pressing internal strife and fight
Ing leftist guerilla bands.
The whole situation is compli-
Gated by the fact that If and when
the United States acts in Greece.

ton OF choosing sides in an area
where the interests of the western
powers and Russia have clashed.
