Council Willing
To Confer With
Electrical Men

A compromise series Of confer
snces between city councilmen and
effieia1s Of the International
brotherhood of Electrical Workers
was contemplated Wednesday after
the council gave its answer to re-
cent demands Of the union.
The IBEW group. which has
nearly 200 members in the Tacoma
light department, served notice on
the city fathers before the first of
the year that u might have to
"create an emergency" " the
council did not agree by Feb. l
10 it's demand for arbitration of q
wage dispute.
"Our answer" said Mayor Cain
Wednesday to Jay olinger, bust
ness representative of the union
local, lis, first, that 1t is our seri-
Gus contention that we can't legal
ly raise any salaries now.
We are definitely of the opinion
that we are not opposed to arbi-
tration, but any delegation of au-
thority by the council could not be
binding on the council.
But the city council will meet
with you at any series Of meet
ings you desire and take up these
POINTS one by one"
Olinger expressed complete sat
iHfaction with the councils answer
wv. much prefer to try oui
ease before the council than any
outside person, anyway" he said.

possibility of a new tack in Str Stafford Cripp's attempts to get India to agree on the delayed do- minion plan. which now appears near defeat, as the Sikh party has flatly rejected the proposal and indications are that the Mahasahlna element of the extremist Hindus will join in the rejection.
 Demand Own Defense
 Stumbling block to agreement on the delayed Dominion status plan seems to be demands by Indians that they be allowed to have charge of defense during the war, but Britain refuses to allow the strings of defense out of her hands.
 Feeling in Britain is divided on the wisdom of the plan that Cripps, as Special Emissary for Winston Churchill, is offering. Many feel that granting immediate dominion status to India is the on- ly solution for stirring up vigor- ous anti-aggression front among the discordant groups in the country.
 Fear Chaos Result
 Others feel that immediate grant of the independent state would throw the country into worse chaos and open the doors to the Japan- csc.
 The Sikh party has rejected the plan because, they say, it will put them at the mercy of the Moslems in the Punjab province. Sikhs supply the background of the Indian Army, but among the Mos- lems are many terrorists who are ready to fan civil war.

STIRRING DRAMA
 OPENS FRIDAY AZ
 CAPITOL FEATURE
A Man Betrayed Starring Dee and Wayne Has
 Good Plot

Just how far should loyalty be carried when girl knows hei father is a crook and a killer in effect if not in actual deed-is the problem faced by Frances Dee in Republics "A Man Betrayed, ' which opens Friday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Daughter of a powerful and ruth less political boss, she knows her father is indirectly responsible for wholesale murders. She knows his empire has been built upon unsav- ory graft-and yet, realizing the factors that have made his life better, she cleaves to him with a fanatical devotion.
 This devotion is put to gruel- ling test with the advent of young Lynn Hollister-played by John Wayne in the film. An awkward, gangling country lawyer he single handedly brings to light and wipes out the vast political machine and sends Cameron, the father of the girl he has come to love, to the penitentiary.
 The manner in which Wayne and Miss Dee work out their love prob lem promises to be one of the most dramatic treats of the sea- son.
 Edward Ellis has the difficult role of Boss Cameron, and other sup porting roles are carried by liar old Huber, Alexander Granach, Ward Bond and Barnett Parker.

mail is carried on lightly armed supply ships, the safety factor in flying "V-mail' is one of it's most important.
 The Army postal service now has 100 officers and 1000 men, nearly all formerly postoffice em- ployes. And right now, they are handling 100000 pieces of mail a day to and from such distant spots as the South Pacific, Alaska, Ha- waii, Iceland, Great Britain and the Atlantic bases. The men on Bataan Peninsula are the only men in our armed forces who are not getting mail from home.
 When "V-mai" deliveries really get under way, it will be possible even to keep up deliveries to troops making an isolated stand, simply by dropping it by parachute.
 Even if more mail carrying ships are sunk, says General Rose, the loss of mail won't come up to the total that now is lost by misdirec- tion. In spite of the Army's cam paign to inform relatives and friends exactly how to address let ters and parcels, practically all of the complaints about letters not having been received can be traced to improper addressing.
 The address should carry the name and grade of the soldier; his serial number, if known; complete Identification of his military unit dor example, Company A, 30lst Infantry; and most important of all, his Army postoffice number.
 Mail for overseas must be ad- dressed to the Army Postoffice Off, flee in care of the postmaster at New York, Seattle, San Francisco, etc., depending on the location of the soldiers unit station. It should never be addressed to any foreign city. Letters so addressed would inform anyone who sees them of the location of the units, closely guarded military secret.
