ARLINGTON, Texas (UPI) - A
community theater yesterday canceled
the last three performances of its all-
male production of Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf at the request of
playwright Edward Albee, who denied
he ever intended the play to be cast
that way.
The homosexual-oriented staging,
which was to have had its final perfor-
mance today, tomorrow and Sunday,
already had drawn the ire of three con-
servative city councilmen in this city.

From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON - On the third anniversary of the ill-fated
strike by government air traffic controllers, the postmaster'
general has threatened to fire any Postal Service employees
who walk off the job.
If unionized postal employees "commit an illegal act in
either wildcat or nationwide strikes, I will fire them," Post-
master General William Bolger said.
BOLGER'S warning, which came in an interview with
editors of the Washington Times was published in yester-
day's editions, came one day after the presidents of the two
largest postal unions said they were prepared to go to jail, if
necessary, to achieve a new contract.
Bolger said in the interview that he made the warning
"about as clear as I can make it" to the nation's 600,000
postal employees.
He added, however, that he does not expect any nationwide
action and forecast that any problem could be no more than
moving around pockets of resistance."
"I'm incensed that he's done this," Vincent Sombrotto,
president of the 200,000-member National Association of Let-
ter carriers, said yesterday in response to Bolger's latest
statements.
Sombrotto noted that his union's convention, scheduled to
open Aug. 20 in Las Vegas, Nev., will discuss what course of
action to take and he added, "We will make our decision in an
atmosphere as devoid of emotion as I can create."
BOTH SOMBROTTO and American Postal Workers Union

President Moe Biller made it clear Wednesday during a joint
National Press Club speech that a strike was a distinct
possibility, even though illegal.
"It's like a kid. It's like 'I'll dare you to do it'," said Biller.
"We're not going to be provoked.
Federal employees, under law, are prohibited from
striking. Negotiations on a new three-year contract covering
600,000 postal workers collapsed July 20, and no new talks
have been scheduled.
PROVISIONS of the Postal Reorganization Act providing
for fact-finding and arbitration have been triggered and a
settlement eventually could be imposed on both sides.
A typical postal worker covered by the expired pact with
the Postal Service earns roughly $23,000 a year, not including
fringe benefits.
In the negotiations, postal union leaders demanded pay
raises and benefit improvements amounting to about 10 per-
cent in the first year of a new pact - and totaling close to
$8,000 per worker over the life of the contract.
THE POSTAL Service management is attempting to im-
plement its principal demand in the contract negotiations -
creation of a two-tier wage scale in which new employees
would be paid an average of $5,300 a year less than veterans
in the same jobs. The four postal unions have brought suit in
federal court claiming that imposition of the two-tier wage
plan is illegal.
