Theitate does not agree. "There are between 85,000 and 90.000 state employes In 2,700 said Dean Mielke, chief of the state Bureau ofc Employer Employe RelationsTr'If we sUrt to recognize splinter groups we'll end up with hundreds of bargaining units an.

Impossible situation Iff manage. We could end up, like cities like New York, government grinding to a halt." He said such "fragmentation would be disastrous for MietKeT. said he thinks PERC will support the state's rejection of the nurses request for representation by the FNA on the. grounds" that the state government could not operate efficiently with small units. He said several other requests have 'already been turned down by, PERC for "these reasons; He said the state foresees about five collective bargaining units for state employes.

He said the state hopes to Include the. nurses In a unit with about 20 tp 30 other professional groups. Rachel Weber, a Brevard public health nurse, said the nurses want some say over setting standards for nursing, even more than they want pay "There Is no way a unit made up of accountants, attorneys, pharmacists, statisticians and other state employedemployed professionals can speak fairly for nurses," said Barbara Lumpkin of FNA. "We feel the $tate is once again trying to discriminate against nurses." Mielke responded by saying Lumpkin's statements were "obviously self serving." "Every union from the carpenters to the policemen Is claiming the same thing. Each one says' It Is unique," he said.

The nurses object to the FNA being described, as a uri lon. Miss Lumpkin said FNA Is. a multi purpose organization which for almost 70 years has been Involved inuursing wlu cation, elevating standards of care and working 'on legislation. "Our main concern is the public's welfare so we want to emphasize the professionalism of nurses," she said. "Collective bargaining Is something new for us.

It's just another way we'll work for nurses." Mrs. Thompson said the state haimade some "sweeping changes without even consulting us." Mrs. Weber says lowered education standards for nurses Is an example of this. JUnder some new regulations, Miss Lumpkin said nurses. aides can be put In a supervisory capacity over registered nurses.

The state tells us in this case that 'education is an artU tidal barrier' (for standards)," Miss 'Lumpkin' said. "We feel that unilateral 'decisions can be very She noted that unlike most labor organizations FNA contracts Include no strike clauses'. FNA already acts as a collective bargaining agent for nurses, including those at Wuesthoff Memorial Hospital, Rockledge, she said.

Four of the seven nursing 'homes In Brevard are participating in the protest.

The concern for my family I have two children and their coping with the loss." McDaniel said prisoners at the camp he was sent to had already worked out a tapping code for communications. During the first years of captivity, the prisoners were kept apart In their own ceils and the tapping code was one of their few means of communication. Occasionally during lapses by their guards, the men were able to whisper messages to one another. "As the time In prison camp went on, the ups and downs of not knowing If we would get out, the physical harassment and torture religion was the major sustal ner for us," he said. McDaniel said he explains In his book how he coped with the unknown future.

"I explain never coming back in the book. I knew it was possible I would; never come back alive; but I never lost faith in God so 1 knew I would see my family again." McDaniel said at first prisoners were In solitary and had little chance for religious services together. Later he said they did get together to worship. "The North Vietnamese were afraid of our religion," 'he recalled. "They would not allow us to have the Bible much.

They were afraid of the strength and support we coqld get from the Bible." McDaniel said he was released Feb. 12, 1973. He said religion helped him "It was. a shock to see the changes. Hard trying to.read just to family life when tt)V; family has become used Jry' doing without you.

"In respect to morals.and religion, we're becoming weaker and weaker." "We're In' deep trouble, but still In a position to recover." McDaniel said there are eight or nine other books by former POWs out He said hfc read some, but only after he'd finished his account "A funny thing about that experience," he said. "Eaqh guy tells a significantly different story' of what happened within himself, but all cover similar points." McDaniel said he's proud of the way he did his job In the Vietnam War and isn't Bis mayed at its outcome. "I did a job when called upon," he said.
