Rules Early
To Get $500
Row Over Towers
Aired in Court

Charles Early. who owns FIVE
acres Of unimproved property on
seth ave. in Northeast Tacoma.
can collect 500 in damages from
the city Of Tacoma. Judge Ernest
N. Card ruled Friday. but he
denied Esriy's request 10 order
the eity's steel power Transmission
tower at the edge Of the property
removed.
In December Early sued the
city. demanding that the big
newiy-erected tower be taken
down. He complained that after
he had dedicated a piece Of his
property 10 the city for street
purposes. to provide access 10 his
land. the city came along and put
its tower in the street, blocking
IL 10 future development
The tower did eventually block
the roadway. Judge Card agreed.
1T seems that the city en-
gineers. through a defect IN the
map. thought the 12i-foot strip
was a desd-end street" the court
stated. IT would. Of course. be
illegal To so block a dedicated
roadway. Realizing this, the city
passed an ordinance dedicating a
strip 4o-feet wide just east Of the
30-foot strip on which the tower
was constructed"
Judge Card agreed with Early
the new road would not be as
convenient to his property a, the
blocked strip. but he held there
could be no doubt of the eity's
right To alter or change any street
as long a. IL provided practical
means Of access. Early's five
acres. he decided. were worth
$500 and had been deprecated
5000. Since IT would cost the city
about 5000 to move its pole. the
court decided the public interest
would be served better by leaving
IL there.

Even the great Handel seemed.
At times. 10 care not too much for
the words set to his compositions.
Perhaps there is something 10
be said for this view Of the matter.
for how many 90 to hear an opera
on account Of its beautiful words.
How many operas have been borne
into public favor by the beauty of
the music when the words were
mere trash
With Handel. II was natural that
music should hold first place in
his affection. There was a certain
person who arranged many of
Handers linrettos for him. This per-
son. one day. ventured TO give Han
del some advice as TO what kind
OF music should be set to certain
words This az once aroused the
oholeric Handel.

deatch me music: Nv music Is
goot music. Damn your vorts,
Herr" sitting down IN the in
strument and playing through a
melody-"here are mine ideas: you

Yet in his great oratorios. Han
del very carefully chose his words
from the Scriptures, and the mu-
sical settings are highly beautiful
and in perfect accord with the set
ting Of the word.
The Harmonious Blacksmith
IL all the stories OF musicians
and their work were TO be sifted
for that which is the plain truth,
unimbellished by fancy. the num-
Der that stood the test would
probably not make a very cumb-
rous volume. 1t is an easy matter
to concoct a pretty story and TO
embellish it. as IL is so often done.

AP FEATURE SERVICE

SAIGON, French Indo-China.- Among those who view Japan's oc- cupation of French Indo-China with deep misgivings are many of the occupying forces,
 Particularly, the Japanese buck private.
 There are about 10000 Japa- neset troops in Indo-China now, ostensibly to protect" the big French colony. From what? Some weeks ago, unspecified Japanese quarters reported evidences" thai the British, in nearby Malaya, were preparing to attack Indo China. The Japanese came, off cially, as guardians.
 The common soldier will tel you, privately, that the occupying troops may become rats in 9 bag" if war breaks in the Pacific This is a favorite Japanese mili- tary expression to describe a trap
 Indo- China is a long way from the nearest Japanese base. Con- munications inside the sprawling country are poor.
 Out on a Limb
 The native population, while unarmed and quiescent today, is basically hostile and potentially dangerous. On che border are the Chinese; on the other, the British And should the United States fleet enter the picture the combination could be very unpleasant bag, indeed, for an unwary rat.
 The Japanese soldiers know this They know they can be cut off The only avenue of supply and of retreat is the ,ocean-if they could reach coastal ports, find transports waiting there, and their own fleet commanding the sea a-lanes.
 It's a long and creaky limb to be out on.
 Little Recreation The soldiers are largely con- fined to barracks. When they go sightseeing, it is usually in groups, with an officer command ing. They are under very strict discipline, respecting civilians whether French, Chinese or An namite.
 It is quite different life from the one they knew in China There are no dance halls in Indo- China, few cheap bars.
 Life is not so bad for the offi- cers.
 The top-rankers have moved into good hotels or big French homes, where they have far more comfort and better food than they knew in Japan.
