CITY TO MAINTAIN
 3l-MLL TAX RATE
Mayor Speaks on Budget At Y. M. C. Calls for
 Defense Volunteers

Mayor vincent A. Scully was the guest speaker at the weekly dormi- tory dinner at Central Y. M. c. A. last night. Mayor Scully analysed some of the problems which con- front the board of finance in the making up of a city budget. The mayor stated that 1t was the pur- pose of the administration to hold Q new budget to tax rate lower than 31 mills. but that, falling to lower the tax rate. 1t probably would not be raised. The mayor also out lined the efforts which are being made in Waterbury in defense preparation. He urged all citizens who are not subject to draft to en- roll in the course of air raid wardens which begins Tuesday evening, Mo- vember 2S, at Wilby high school. Tn making this plea for enrolment in the air raid warden course of in. struction, he pointed QUO that there are many residents of Waterbury who still believe wrongly that we are in no danger. He said Waterbury is in the same category as other in- dustrial cities on the Atlantic Sea- board and that it is certainly not beyond danger from the air.
 Leon H. French, president of the Y. M. c. A., spoke on the problems of executives in these times of rapid change. He mentioned the incident of the Canadian aviator who. dining in New York Q few days ego, re- marked that 24 hours ago he was bombing Berlin.

 Demand to Industrialists

Hartford, Conn, Nov. Ie.--tUP)- Mayer Thomas J. spellacy told q meeting of Connecticut and Massa- chusetts industriallstss fast night that labor dictatorship" in the United States must be destroyed, If we are to fight dictatorship abroad because 1t Is inimical to democracy"
 There is no man or group of men in the United States that IS greater than the United States" he declared at an inaugural meeting of the Hartford Springfield post of the army ordnance association. It Is said that the army cannot man the mines but, by God, the American people can and will"
 spellacy, e former assistant U. 6. attorney general, said that 1t seems to me that in addition to the call made on New England industry to produce for defense, there is still 6 greater cali. If we are to fight dic- tatorship abroad because it is tni. mical to democracy, then we must destroy dictatorship in the United states"
 One ef Speakers
 The mayor was one of several speakers at the dinner, at which John Q. 0arand, inventor of the semi. automatic rife bearing his name, was presented with the Gen. John R. Ride medal for uaeritorious ordnance service.
 The presentation was made by Major General Charles N. Wesson, chief of army ordnance, who dis. closed that c new anti-aircraft weapon to fight bombing from the stratosphere, was being perfected.
 New England, he said, should cree ate more capacity and obtain Q greater share of defense orders.
 The construction of additional manufacturing plants in other parts of the country, he asserted, present. ed potential competitors in your commercial field, when this emer- gency Is over."

Famous Opera Opens
 Concert Season Here
ROssni's Great Work, 'The Barber of SevlIIe' Pre-.
 sented by Excellent Cast-Audence Appreciative

Tn the character Of Roslna, Hildg Reggiani was alive to the amusing situations. She handled herself wei in her opening cavatina, Una yoce poca fa," and was very much al ease in the gay duet with Figaro, "Dunque 10 son." The music lessor scene was unusually well done. Rosina and the count seated at thg clavier entering Into the spirit oi the comedy with naturalness. 1D this scene following the singing les. son as written Into the score she ins terpolates for the lesson Benedictl Carnival of Venice" Here she handled the intricacies, the delicate shadings very nicely: she had Q smooth legato in the middle voice and a pleasing quality. Her very high notes were clear for the most part and there was no dropping on the pitch.
 The genial and jolly barber was agreeahly acted and sung by the youthful Carols Ramirez. His ei. trance demand 6 large degree oi emingly indifferent ef3ort, at tho salne time the musical tone must not suffer through the buffoonery With no vast stage depths or large orchestra pit and great heights oi edihce to let the tones soar Figaro strutted about with much ease and received Q tremendous ovation at tho conclusion of his Largo al Facto- tum." At all times he sang and acted with abandon over obtruding himself into the scene put always alert to every situation. His baritone was rich, and powerful when SO needed. The two groteeque figures Don Dasilio, music master, and Don Bartola, physician, were veter- ans in the art of comic acting. They -knew all the tricks of that type opera and played their parts with ingenuity. John 0urney was splen- did in his Hrotesque makeup, and Pompilio Malatesta was the dod- dering physician.
 Tenor supeFD
 High praise gees to the tenor Armand Tokatyan, for his ertastic singing and for his manner of com. pletely throwing himself Into the comedy of the part. He went through his various disguiaes, looked Tidi' culous and did his musging with on easy grace; at all times sang as . real artist. No doubt these principal male characters did . good job witt and in the opera. There was nc boredom, no drag. The meSzo 90. prano of 0eorgette Bourdon ai Bertha, governess to Rosina, wa, heard to great advantage in . second act solo. Her voice had warmth ant she had the range of c nexzo morC than Of Q contralto.

The Fine Arts Series opened in this city last night at the Water bury Women's Club with Q perfor- nance Of Rossini's sparkling opera, '"The Barber of Seville" It was gay affair on and oR the stage, the audience laughing uproariously and applauding vociferously. Eight sin- gers were admirably cast; their act- ing spontaneous and their singing quite in the manner of the opera buffa. Charles L. Wagner, of New York, concert master for many great artists over 8 long period of years, was the producer, and in this anti- mate arrangement Of Q complete opera he has achieved something definitely entertaining and artistic. The Mattatuck Musical Arts Society sponsored the event.
 Splendid Cast
 The cast was admirably chosen, singers from the Metropolitan, and one, Carlos Ramirez, from the Tea tro Colon in BuenoS Aires. Two plano were used to accompany the singers, Walter pucloux ct the first plano as conductor, and Everett Roudebush at the second plano. Frank Paola was stage director. Honors seemed practically even among the five leading characters, Rosina, Count Almaviva, Figaro, Don Basilio and Don Bartola, The comic aspects of the opera were 80 fasniu liar to the singers that they acted with ease and went through their foolish antics with no stiffness, even though more or less circumscrihed by Q small stage.

CIVIC THEATER
 SELECTS PLAY
''Beggar on Horseback" to Be Presented Dec. 4ths
 5th at WOmlen's Club

"Heggar Gn Horseback" will he the Civic Theater's second offering In the current season. It Is an ex. travaganza in eleven scenes by George s. Kaufman and Marc Connolly. The play Is considered by Alexander Woolcott one Of the greatest contributions to the Amer lean stage, while Byrnes Mantle includes 1t in his collection ot best plays.
 This play pokes fun ct the get- rich-quickS and also at money. But aS MT. Woolcott slyly remarks in his preface to the play, the auth- ors were distressed when the box office dropped below e20,O00 a week.
 The story reVolves around a young and struggling composer who de. cldes to make . rich marriage 60 that he may 90 on with his work without having to worry about his daily bread. The doctor has given him . narcotic which causes him to fall asleep and dream of his future with his wealthy iiancee and her family. The fantasy is well worked out; everything which happened just before he fell asleep re-occurs in q new, larger, more exaggerat- ed and fantastic form.
 For instance, his future brother. in-law was wearing Q yellow tie in the first scene and in the dream he wears larger and larger yellow ties until 1t reaches fantastic pro. portions. Each detail Is carefully worked out.
 The scenery will be an express sionistic unit set, one of the most unusual to appear on the stage of the Womens club.
 "Beggar on Horseback" will be presented on Thursday and Fri. day evenings, December 4th ana 6th, ct the Waterbury Women's clllh.

fields with dimly shining lights, chains of lights stimulating bridges across rivers, and bright searcla- lights able to blind pilots were among the component parts of this type Of defense which MT. Hibhen discussed.
 He pointed out how successful the constant changing of e clty's light pattern would be, as 1t would prevent recognition Of any land- marks by the enemy. Tho use of decoy lights, stimulating arteries of traffic or regions of dense popula- ton would be Q basic part of such Q defense, the speaker asserted. Anti aircraft batteries could nc located several miles outside large cities with aS much effect in de- fense, and would draw the fire of enemy planes from the populated centers, according to Mir. Hibben.
 The technique of the "dim.out," . lowering of essential lighting to the level of moonlight by means of central switches In power houses was advanced by the speaker as a means of reducing civilian casual. ties which would result from a toGal blackout. Fluorescent and ultra- violet light could be used to pros vide emergency lighting for bomb shelters, hospitals, police and fire he said.
 Among those present at the talk were Supt. of Police William J. Roach, James J. Curtin, superin- tendent of parks and chief air raid warden, Maj. John M. Burrall, Frank J. Green, Martin O'Rourke, and Police Sergt. George Chatfield, all members of the local defense council.
