didly imaginative fantasy "Venus

Venus Observed, the New York

ner for being the best foreign play
of 1862, tells the story of the
rakish Duke of Affair, an amorous
astronomer, three of his former
great loves, an amusingly articu-
late embezzler, and the Dukes son
who becomes his fathers COM
petitor in love.
Running at the Drury Theatre
will be Regina" and "Ladies in
Retirement" at the Brooks Theatre.
Both of these theatres are at Eu-

The balding 55-year-old de-

Transit Firm TO Fight
Labor Board Order

The Capital Transit Co. plans
a court fight against a National
Labor Relations Board order
that it must bargain with the
transit union over a contract
covering $50 supervisory en-
ployeS.
The company maintains that
the $50 are foremen, guards and
confidential aides. It claims that
these persons cannot be repre-
Sented by the union under the
terms of the Taft Hartley Act.
The union is Division $50 of
the Amalgamated Association Of
Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of Amer
lea. It represents $500 bus and
trolley operators and mechanics
at Capital Transit.
=. A year ago, the union was re-
jected as bargaining agent for
the $50 employees at an election
conducted by the NLRB. The
union then charged-and it was
upheld by the NLRB-that the
election was not valid because of
company interference.
A second election was held last
November which the union won.
Capital Transit now has 10
days to comply with the NLRB
order issued yesterday. If the
company does not comply. the
NLRB can ask a court order to
enforce its ruling. The company
invites this opportunity for a
court test of the issues, a spokes-
I man said.

Tax Rates Extended
Commissioners

The District Commissioners
today went through the formal
ity Of proclaiming the real es-
tate and personal property tax
rates that will prevail in fiscal
1854.
The rates remain unchanged
from the current fiscal year:
$2.15 per $100 valuation of real
property and 50 per 500 valu-
alton of tangible personal prop
erty.
According to estimates these
two revenue sources. will have
produced a total of $45.4 mil
lion by next June 80, and a total
of $45.9 million during the next
fiscal year.
Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler reported that the city's
entire anticipated revenues in
1854 will be sufficient to finance
the $154.3 million appropria-
tions bill now awaiting Senate
action. The House approved only
$146.3 million of the $151.5 mil
lion supply measure requested
by the Commissioners. But the
city heads proposed to ask the
Senate to restore these cuts and
to include another $2.8 million
to cover pay raises for police
men and f1remen.
While Mr.. Fowler expects 1854
revenues to be adequate to cover
the requested appropriations, he
has voiced peSsimiSm over the
sufflciency of revenues beyond
the next fiscal year.
