Chairman Dan Penton

The staff nurses of j m S

last night flatly rejected the hos

tuition.
The nurses dispatched the
lowing letter to Dan Penton,

But since this proposition makes
no attempt to get to the root OF
the misunderstanding, we find it
completely unacceptable.
"The latest terms offer sala-
ries and working conditions un-
deniably generous compared tc
those now in force at J a m s
Walker. This fact inescapably
points to but one conclusion: il
is a public admission that unit.
now the nurses 1T James Walker

"Notice that these terms def
nitely are not offered in the form
Of a contract. The staff is no
anxious to settle this controversy
on any ''here today-gone to
morrow" basis.
"Even more fundamental is
the refusal to recognize the
nurses association and our righ
to bargain collectively. We re
peat that recently proposed
working conditions by their com
parative generosity compel the
conclusion that James Walker

plotted.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 10. -lR-
The death toll in II days of Holy
Land violence climbed to 131
tonight and Sir Alan Cunning
ham, the high commissioner,
warned Jews and Arabs that un-
less the bloodletting ceases
"severe measures" would be
taken against both communities.
A British police officer and a
territorial soldier died from
wounds, bringing to 10 the num-
ber of deaths reported today. 1t
was one of the worst days of
scattered violence since the
United Nations decision to par
tition Palestine.
The Jewish Arab warfare
spread to the Southern desert,
where 10 deaths were reported.
Eighteen Arabs smashed their
way out of Acre Prison in the
Far North.
An Associated Press count of
deaths in Palestine included 70
Jews, six British and two Ar
menians. The total for the en-
tire Middle East was 243.
A dispatch from Ade said
two Arabs were killed by local
police in an attack upon a Jew
ish shop. This would bring cas-
ualties in that Arabian port to
ia and raise the Middle East
figure to 245. The dispatch ad-
ded that many Jews were leav-
ing the city in the wake of the
Jew-Arab strife.
Representatives of the Arab

Hi9h-Priced Barbecue,
Filing Fees Hit Boyd

RALEIGH, Dec. 10. - U.D -
North Carolina's hog-raising gu
bernatorial candidate, Ola Ray
Boyd, studied the horns OF his
hog dilemma today and admit
ted the barbecue situation was
serious.
The Pinetown pig breeder,
tree surgeon and self-styled in
ventor for war said costs were
catching up with the candidates
particularly the cost of hogs.
The Honorable Ola Ray, as
his stationery proclaims him,
said the filing fee for the gov
ernors race used to be $105, and
pigs suitable for political barbe-
cues sold at a top of $14.55 per
hundred pounds under the OPA.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-11

Now the pigs sell for $18 to
$40, with top quality at $25 to
$28, which was fine for his
career as hog rancher but
hard on his political aspira-
tions. Noting that the filing fee
had also gone up to $3.50. Boyd
complained that candidates
would run through their allotted
campaign funds in a hurry.
He forecast that barbecue pigs
and those destined for por k
chops and sausage-would grow
scarcer because reduced tobac-
co acreage would turn NOR e
farms to livestock raising They
would save their pigs for breed
ing stock, he said.

COURT OVERHAUL
URGED BY HELMS
Charlotte Attorney Ad-
dresses Meeting OF New
Hanover Bar

Calling for the overhauling OF
the North Carolina Superior
court system, Fred B. Holmes,
immediate past president of the
State Bar association and promi-
nent Charlotte attorney, declar-
ed here last night that rotation
of judges is one of the biggest
millstones around the necks of
lawyers.
To stop Communism and all
the other "isms," 1--WE must make
Americanism work better, :"
Helms said, adding tt . 1--WE
can't do it permanently by guns
or by other methods. He spoke
at the quarterly meeting of the
New Hanover Bar association at
the Cape Fear club.
Stating that making American
ism work to a large extent is the
responsibility of lawyers. Hel,nes
said that 'If we don't make law
work effectively in its practice
in America, then this democracy
of ours is going by the boards,
and the law must be made to
work by lawyers.
Attacking the present judicial
set-up in the State, Helms said,
"Law in North Carolina today
cannot be administered properly
with machinery for administra
ton that is 100 years old. The
public has lost confidence in our
businesslike administration OF the
law. We have antequated ma
chinery to work with"
"We stand or fall in North Car
olina on the efficiency of our
Superior court system" he said.
"That system is woefully anti
quated and woefully inefficient.
No matter how efficiently our
bar operates, you can't operate
efficiently under machinery that
100 years DID,"
Court Wait
Pointing out that much of the
business formerly handled in the
court is being settled outside
through arbitration Che estimated
this at 80 per cent? he said that
businessmen are finding them
selves unable to wait for court
procedure in settling their dis
putes and problems.
The businessmen are estimating
their losses in time and fees, he
said, and settling their cases
without recourse to courts.
Suggesting that time could be
saved and efficiency stepped up
by having the judges assigned
to their home districts perma-
