Red police lost their first encount-

members.
Some l,500 Legionaires said no
to all communist efforts to force
their signatures to prepared con
fessions." Teen-age students stood
shoulder to shoulder with the ad-
ults in defying communism's
threats.
The government order, requiring
Legion members to resign" from
the banned organization, has been
failure. The proposed "resigna-
tionS" read:
81, the undersigned, joined the
reactionary Legion of Mary on
(date) and conducted secret
counter-revolutionary and evil ac-
tivities against the government, the
people and Soviet Russia. | hereby
resign from the Legion of Mary and
promise never to participate in
such activities in the future"
AT least half of the 40 persons
who signed such documents were
neither Legion members nor Cath
olies. The others we're generally
tricked into affixing their sigma
lures.

sisting of desk pounding and
shouting, Is the first police APP

! Men Lost Off Florida
As Storm Sinks Boats
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 2l.-Two
boats have been sunk-one re-
portedly with seven men on board
and seven other craft are in
distress off the Florida coast as
heavy winds raked the shore line.
Coast Guard headquarters. busy
dispatching search planes and
rescue vessels. listed the vessels
thus:
The 69-foot fishing vessel Sea
Farer sank off False Cape. near
Cape Canaveral, with seven men
on board. No survivors were re-
ported.
The Grouper, a 32-foot pleasure
boat, blown on the north jetty
at Fort Pierce and destroyed. Two
men. Perry Lee FELTON, and P. C.
Phillips. both of Miami, swan
ashore.
Two vessels in distress off Fer
nandina. One, the Rio Escondida,
repeatedly a converted four stack
. destroyer of World War I vintage,
reported herself disabled. adrift
with dangerous cargo on board.
If weather keeps up we might
break up"
While Coast Guard cutters and
planes sought the Escondida, an
other craft was observed to be
firing distress flares. Additional
assistance summoned for this YES

Central Nurse Service
Proposed for District

The possibility of centralized
school of nursing service to be
located at Wilson Teachers Col
lege was seen today in a survey on
District nursing needs.
The survey, prepared by the
Division of Nursing Resources of
the Public Health Service. pointed
out that it is uneconomical to op-
crate schools of nursing for fewer
than 100 students, and only one
of the nursing schools in the Dis
trict has more than 100 students,
I'm other communities it has
been found that a centralized
school can offer a comprehensive
program and thus attract more
students than the small school
with limited facilities" the sur
vey said.
1t said that in the District such
program might rotate its stu
dents through several hospitals to
give nurses experience in both
public and private hospitals and
in the specialtieS.
1T might be worth while to ex-
plore the possibilities" the survey
said. that such a school could
be established at Wilson Teach
ers' College"
1t also said the District has a
deficit of 855 professional nurses.
General hospitals need about 526
nurses. Gallinger Hospital is short
312 nurses. A shortage of 103
nurses was said to exist at st.
Elizabeths Hospital.
The survey also urged the IL
censing of practical nurses. The
practice is law in 81 States now.
The move would protect the
public from practical nurses who
have not completed certain
courses of instruction and who
overcharge for services.
Survey sponsors were the
Graduate Nurses Association, the
League of Nursing Education and
the Nurses Examining Board.

u. 5. Employees Told
They May Campaign
Only for Independents

The Civil Service Commission re-
affirmed today that Government
workers may campaign for inde-
pendent candidates for the County
Board in Arlington.
A Civil Service statement print
ed in yesterdays Star cautioned
Government workers generally
against engaging in partisan pol
itics, but a few exceptions have
been made in the Washington area.
Federal employees. for instance,
may campaign for Arlington's
local candidates, provided the
candidates are not affiliated with
either the Republican or Demo-
cratic parties. A Civil Service
spokesman, queried about yester-
days statement, pointed out this
distinction.
In the coming elections, 10 can
didates seek four jobs on the
county board. One candidate is a
Republican. one is a Democrat and
the others are independents. Fed
eral workers may campaign for
the independents. but not the reg
ular party candidates.
This was made clear in 1949
when the Civil Service Commis-
sion ruled:
ANY Federal employe may par
ticipate in the campaign of an in
dependent candidate for local
Arlington County Office. even
though the candidate is selected
or indorsed by a local group. pro-
vided such group is not connected
with a State or national political
party"
