comedy in which Rosalind insists
upon being the plstonic bride Of
Melvyn Douglas. who loves her

marriage to go on the rocks. She
therefore insists to Melvyn's in
dignation and disgust-that they
learn to live together peacefully in
the same house before they even
attempt TO share the same room.
Greatest complication to this
complicated domestic scene is a
business deal in which Melvyn is
involved. He is attempting to

To Accept 0.P.M. Terms
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)

BY the Associated Press.
Sidney Hillman wired striking
workers at the Vanadium Steel Co. s
Bridgeville Pa) plant today, urging
them to accept a proposed settle
ment advanced by the Office OF
Production Management and not
hamper the defense program.
At the same time the associate
director of o. P. M asked the G. I.
o. union to permit Vanadium prod
ucts to be removed from the strike
bound plant this afternoon.
Mr.. Hillman sent this message to
Frank A. Pugne, president of the
Bridgeville local:
During week of March 3 an offer
was presented on behalf of o. P M.
under which all workers employed
at the time of the strike should re-
turn to work Immediately without
discrimination and that all charges
by the company against the con-
duct of any individual employe
should be taken up in conference
10 days following the return to work
with the understanding that any
failure to agree on these charges
will be submitted to arbitration. In
the judgment of o. P. M. this offer
is essential, fair and reasonable. 1t
was expected that the workers
would have returned to work before
this time Offer still holds and
o. P. M. expects your cooperation
so that national defense efforts shall
not be further hampered."

Fiscal Measure
May Be Voted
On Next Week
Passage Would Raise
Lump Sum Payment
ose, 100000
By JAMES f. CHINN.

The Senate District Committee
late today put its stamp of approval
on the Overton bill which prescribes
a formula for measuring the amount
of the annual Federal payment
toward expenses of the municipal
government. A favorable report on
the measure is to be submitted to the
Senate early next week.
It has been estimated that adop-
ton of the plan would increase the
present S6,000.000 lump sum payment
to 10000 in the fiscal year begin
ming July /.
Decision of the committee to re-
port the bill favorably was revealed
by Chairman Reynolds after a poll
of the membership conducted at his
direction. He ordered the poll in
stead of calling a meeting of the
committee to pass on the bill in Or
der to expedite its consideration by
the Senate Indications are the
measure will be placed on the Senate
calendar either Monday or Tuesday,
paving the way for Senate action be-
fore the end of the week.
The bill provides for division of
costs between the District and Fed
eral Governments on the basis of
land actually used by each. 1t was
first approved several days ago by
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of
which Senator Overton, Democrat
of Louisiana, sponsor of the bill, is
chairman.
Senator Overton has predicted the
bill will pass the Senate.
The Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
of the House District Committee is
scheduled to consider the Overton
formula at conference Tuesday at
II am with the Commissioners and
group of other municipal officials

tee, is sponsoring the plan in the
