The amount of money paid out to
furnish you with telephone service
is increasing faster than the amount
taken in. That's because telephone
materials, wages, services, and new
building costs rave all gone up tre-
mendously, while telephone rates
have remained as low or lower than
they were many years ago. Tele-
phone earnings today are not only
the lowest in history, but are danger
ously low despite a record volume of

Cardinal Spellman and the Cara
dinals from Brazil and Argentina

Informed Vatican officials said
that Cardinal Spellmans projected
trip to Spain at this time was am
other proof that he was not sched-
uled to take over the Vatican Sec
rotary of State post in the near
future.
Weak In Spanish Policy
The officials pointed out frankly
that one of the weakest spots IN
Vatican diplomacy Of recent years
was support of the Franco regime
during the civil war. Therefore,
they said, such trip as Spellman
is making to Spain would be most
unlikely for any prospective new
Vatican Secretary of State due to
the controversial nature OF Frances
position at present.
They said other evidence that he
would not be given the appointment
soon was that he was going to the
United States to assume duties Of
his diocese whereas the Secretary
of State remains In Vatican City;
and that the Vatican Secretary Of
State Is 0 civil post and is neveg
MED et the time Of 0 eonsiE0Ey.
They added also that they believed
the Pope considers Spellman at
present more valuable In New York
than In the Vatican.
Ofacials who believed spellman
would become Vatican Secretary Of
State toward the end of the war
when he was q travelling statesman
now believe that for the time being
the Pope has changed his mind.
The appointment is a personal
one by the Pope and no one will

executive session today on the
Bombay mutiny Of Indian sailors.
A communique said some of the
British troops sent into Bombay
to deal with the rioting had been
withdrawn and the situation here
was normal.
II was a troubled peace however,
and rumbles of discomfort sounded
Mornings Of possible new outbreaks.
A central srike committee charged
that IA Indians had been spirited
away to unknown destinations
while in official custody.
The committee threatened new
strikes IL the Indian sailors were
"victimized" for their mutiny. Sir
Claude Auchinleck commander Of
British forces in India said fatty
in q statement that the leaders Of
the mutiny must BE- punished.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru of the
Indian Congress Party arrived in
Bombay. Summoned urgently by
Congress leaders he was expected
to make known the position Of the
Nationalist. Congress leaders had
appealed early to the rioters and
mutineers to cease their violence.
The Indian Communist Party
disclaimed responsibility for any Of
the violence.
Reports circulated unofficially in
British quarters that the demobili-
cation of Indian service men might
be speeded UP in a move to allay
the tension. Allied laxity in de-
mobilization was one Of the points
raised in the naval mutiny.

the Board Of Transportation today.
The board has already announced
that 1t cannot grant the request for
exclusive bargaining.
All COnferees Left Together
The boards reply on the remain
der Of the demands will be read to
a union meeting which will decide
whether to strike.
The union spokesman pointed to
the fact that all of the conferees
left the meeting together early to-
day as a hopeful sign.
Quill had threatened to call the
strike anytime after midnight to-
night.
The city went ahead with plans
to combat the walkout and furnish
transportation for the millions OF
workers dependent upon the city,
owned transit system.
A special force of 1000 mechanics,
engineers and electricians was
ready to man the city-owned pow
erhouse which furnish electricity
for the subways, and a force Of
$4,000 police and 10000 firemen was
alerted for immediate guard duty
as soon as the walkout started.
Police Bureau Prepared
The Police Planning Bureau OPP
ened a five-room office in police
headquarters as a nerve-center for
the strike and issued drastic park
ing restrictions for downtown Man
haitian and some sections Of Brook
Ign, in anticipation Of an influx Of
automobiles by workers deprived OF
other methods Of transportation.
Although there is a total of $4,000
workers on the city-owned transit
lines, it was believed that at least
$4,000 would ignore the order to
quit work.
Bernard Brophy, head Of the
ALL. American Federation OF
Transit Workers, which claims 5000
subway employees, said his men
would work. The Civil Service for
UNI, which held a special session
last night with delegates from 80
councils and groups in the city
transit system, issued a similar or
der to its members to ignore the
walkout.
O'Dwyer told the TW.U. Sunday
night that he was precluded by law
from granting the CLIO. union ex-
elusive bargaining rights.
He was backed up in his stand
