Held Curbed

OCRACOKE, N. c.; Mar. "a
(R.-The only registered nurse
on doctorless Ocracoke Island
of the North Carolina Coast
says she believes a flu epidemic
which has struck 300 Of the
500 residents is now under con-
troll.
Mrs. Kathleen Bragg, who
herself is abed with the flu and
a sinus infection, added that
drugs sent from the mainland
and from neighboring Hatteras
Island. plus the visit of a Hat
teras doctor yesterday, had con-
trolled the situation.
DR.. Garland Wampler, United
States Public Health Service
officer at Hatteras Island, toOk
the two-hour ferry ride to iso-
lated Ocracoke Island on the
North Carolina outer banks. He
treated as many as he could
among the estimated 200 who
still are 1bed.
He diagnosed four cases of
pneumonia and called the others
virus flu.
He left on the afternoon
ferry because he had maternity
patients in his own district.
Mrs. Bragg, a Dare County
nurse. said he didn't plan 10
return unless she told him the
situation was beyond her con-
troll.
She added, however, that the
week-long epidemic was not
getting worse, and she felt she
could handle it. At one time
as many as 300 were abed, 100
more than at present.
Mrs. Bragg, a native Of the
narrow island which stretches
10 miles along the Atlantic, is
treating the residents. mostly
fisherfolk. by telephone and
messenger. She has the help of
a practical nurse who gives
antibiotic shots to the pneu-
monia cases and others who
may need them.
The island has had no resi-
dent physician since q Navy
base closed in 1945.

being Jailed.
For the first time Robert
dropped some of his tough act
ing" the sheriff said. HE had

Service Pay Bill
Delayed forDdy
Br the Associa ted Pres,

The House today postponed
until tomorrow consideration
of a 1868 million bill to raise
servicemen's pay.
Following congressional GUS
tom, today's session was dedi-
Gated to eulogies of Representa-
tive George Long. Democrat of
Louisiana, who died Saturday.
Managers Of the bill, which
contains a number of features
designed to make careers in
uniform more attractive. said
they will try to complete debate
and bring it to a vote tomorrow.
The bill would give pay raises
to practically all career mem
bers Of the armed services.
There would be none for officers
and enlisted men in the first
two years Of service-most of
these are men doing obligated
service.
The raises would be higher
in the upper grades, both officer
and enlisted, so as to encourage
ambitious young men to stay in
the service.
The services in addition
would be authorized to reward
enlisted men who acquired spe-
cially needed military or tech
nical skills. This could be done
by special promotions giving
the pay but not the rank of
higher grades, or by proficiency
pay raises Of $50, 500 or $3.50
a month.
In exceptional cases, the
scales established by the bill
could give a top enlisted man
as much as $40, 140 q year total
compensation, q four-star off,
Ger as much as $3l.140.
The bill was written by q
House armed services subcom-
mittee. 1t adopts some basic
principles recommended by the
Cordiner committee, but does
not accept all the departures
from past military practice
which the committee advocated.

from the time an employee files
his appeal to the time the final
decision is made.
It's expected that the csc

and rulings so that many cases
can be decided by its regional

Also. a streamlining Of the

Federal employe leaders drew
a collective sigh of relief the
other day when the House APP
preparations Committees 1859
Independent Offices appropria-
tons bill contained no rider
to curtail the present employe
leave benefits.
They had kept their fingers
crossed ever since hearings on
the bill when Representative
Thomas, Democrat Of Texas,
chairman of the subcommittee
handling the bill. had COM
planned about the leave costs
being incurred by agencies. Mr.
Thomas said the terminal cash
leave obligations incurred by
agencies in future payments to
employees leaving the Govern
ment total between a hall
billion to one billion dollars.
Since Mr.. Thomas and his
subcommittee in recent years
on several occasions have initi-
ated riders which resulted in
reducing the leave benefits of
Federal workers, employee lead
ers were again fearing the worst
But to everyone's surprise, no
effort was made to reduce or
restrict present leave benefits.

Under the ruling, the Su-

Mr.. Rhyme said it was diff

He added:
