The Senate bill, which would
create a Washington metropoli-
tan transit authority to take over
mass transportation here next
August Is. was approved late yes
terday by a roll call voice vote
of Al to 81.
Five minor amendments were
approved by voice vote without
Opposition, but a sixth-to pro-
hibit strikes by authority en-
.ployes-was defeated, AZ to 80,
on a roll call vote.
G. o. p. Opposes Bill
Although there was no appar-
Ient party division in debate on
the transit authority bill, pas
sage of the measure was sup
ported by q Democrats and only
IA Republicans. 1t was opposed
Iby Is Republicans and six Dem
ocratS.
The no-Strike amendment was
supported by IS Republicans and
only seven Democrats. while ii
was opposed by % Democrats
and IA Republicans.
Amendment Debated
Debate came only on the labor
amendment proposed by Sen
ator Allott, Republican of Col
orado. 1t would have made au-
tnority employees subject to the
law which prohibits strikes, OIL
membership in organizations
which assert the right to strike, -
against the Federal Government
and its "wholly-owned corpora
tons"
Out of Original Bill
The provision was contained
in the bill as originally proposed
by the District Commissioners
but was dropped when the
measure was rewritten by the
Senate District Committee.
The anti-strike proposal has
been vigorously opposed by the
transit workers union, which
also is fighting the House bill
to restore the etc franchise.

THE PROGRAM poses one
puzzle which now seems fairly
we'll solved.
One portrait of a young
man is listed as "Bushrod or
Corbin Washington, artist un-
known, c. 1777-87."
THE portrait is the subject
of continuing research" the
program says. TO date the
artist cannot be given a name,
though he was undoubtedly a
master. AS for the subject, is
it Bushrod Washington or his
brother Corbin? -"
The continuing research"
has apparently borne fruit,
because the portrait now is
labeled 'Bushrod Washington,
Bembridge." In a letter now
owned by Miss Anne Washing
ton, Bushrod wrote his parents
at length describing the paint
ing of the portrait and how he
picked Henry Bembridge over
Charles Wilson Peale.
The exhibit originally was
scheduled to end Saturday,
but it has been so successful
that it has been extended for
another two weeks.
Mrs. Wall hopes that by then
many of the portraits now
listed as artist unknown"
will have been identified.
