TWO MONTHS
BASIC TRAINING

The whole course Of sprouts
which the rookie Is put through
rests on the general staffs as
sumption that (a) II takes at least
IL months To make a soldier, and
(b) that most soldiers nowadays
are specialists OF one kind or an
onther.
So the new soldier spends the
first two months of his army ca
reer getting his basic training
learning how to roll his blankets
and shine his shoes and handle
his rifle and do all OF the other
things which rate 80 high In the
mind Of the top sergeant.
After two months the soldier
has the rough edges polished off a
bit, and his company then goes
into special and unit training. The
whole idea OF this training and
there1l be eight months Of it's
to prepare the soldier for the
rather specialized job he will
finally fill.
The figures on that. by the way.
may be Of interest: army men fig
ure specialists now comprise 81

Every Rookie in New Army
To Have 0ldtimer With Him
BY dAlexo

result Of passage of the Burke
Wadsworth bill will take shape In
a way entirely different from the
formation Of the World war draft
army.
There won't be any great train
ing cantonments. or any new units
composed entirely Of rockies. In
stead. the new men will be fed
into existing formations some
with the regular army. some with
the national guard. Point il every
rookie will have an old-timer at
his side all the way.
Assume. for instance. that the
present strength OF an infantry
company in the regular army Il
around 10 men. Approximately
SIS new men would be assigned to
this company. The percentage of
veterans in the company would
be somewhat lower than those
figures would indicate. however.
since on an average Of about 80 OF
the ITO already in the outfit would
be comparatively new men who
had enlisted within recent months.

Steel Order Increase
Indicates Market
Is Broadening
Little improvement
Is Shown, However,
In TotoI Tonnage
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 20.-Iron
Age said in its weekly review to-
day:
An increase this week in the num-
Der of steel orders being placed
suggests to producers that the mar
ket is broadening somewhat. even
though the total tonnage involved
shows little improvement.
"Ingot output, however, slipped
another point to 62Ha per cent, the
lowest rate of the year so far, and
mill schedules continue at a level
considerably higher than can be
supported by the incoming volume
| of new business.
"The factors influencing the steel
industry trend at this time are
varied and numerous with the Eu-
ropean war, the coming election,
an unusually severe winter followed
by late spring, and doubts as to
the legislative outlook. such as the
outcome Of efforts to reorganize the
National Labor Relations Board, all
combining to increase business un-
certainty.
Signs Of improvement, however,
can be seen. Export sales continue
to expand, even though some of
this business is being obtained at
the expenses of prices. which on
some exported products have con-
tinued to decline for the past two
weeks. Pig iron exports have
reached a level where sellers are
seeking to arrange for full cargoes,
but are facing lack of ship space.
Steel exports so far in March are
running ahead of February and busi-
ness from abroad is contributing
more each day to maintenance of
steel plants schedules.
"A steady flow of small fill-in
orders is going from automobile
plants to the mills, and Ford Motor
Co. is expected to enter the market
shortly for $4,000 to 10000 tons of
steel needed for an increase in it's
production schedule before June l.
"Other normally large steel-con-
suming outlets. like the construction
industry, continue to lag, partly be-
cause of the cold weather. Prospects
for a revived P w. A.. said to be ad-
covated in some quarters to lift en-
ployment in an election year, are re-
ported from Washington.
Reinforcing bar prices continue
weak. Manufacturers of rail steel
merchant bars have established
dlfferential between this product and
new billet steel merchant bars.
meanwhile. the Iron age steel
scrap composite price has dropped II
cents to S16.54, the first move from
the $16.71 level since February 20.
Last weeks weakness in railroad
grades at Pittsburgh has spread. At
Chicago the scrap market is softer
and the entire list has been lowered

Civic Federation
Votes Down Chances
In Tax Rate
Delegates Kill Requests
For Both Increases
And Decreases

Delegates to the MONTGOMERY
County (Md) Civic Federation last
night declared in favor of retaining
the present tax rate of $3.50 per
500 valuation, voting down one
motion for a 10-cent decrease and
another for 15-cent increase.
The federation's action will have
the effect of a recommendation to
the Board of County Commissioners.
The most serious effort to change
the tax rate came, not, as expected,
over the proposal to recommend
l5-cent increase, but on a motion to
lower the present rate 10 cents to
$1.4O per $l00 valuation
Reduction Program Resented.
Herbert F. Schiefer of the Chevy
Chase View Citizens Association
distributed mimeographed outline
OF program which he said would
retire the county's bonded indebt-
edness over a l0-year period while
maintaining a 81 40 tax.rate. Dele
gates from the Greater Kensington
Civic League, the Huntington Ter
race Citizens Association and many
others backed this proposal solidly
and the roll call vote showed many
other organizations were split, some
delegates voting in favor and some
against.
On a roll call vote, 73 delegates
voted against a reduction to S1.40
and 80 delegates in favor. The
federation then voted to adopt the
first section Of the recommended
ton that there be no reduc-
ton in the county tax rate for
the next year, to the end that no
deficit be incurred in county operat-
ing expenses and that at least 50 per
cent of the debt maturities for next
year be met without refunding.'
Voice Vote Defeats Raise.
The part of the Finance Com
mlttees resolution in favor of in
creasing the tax rate Is cents in
order to retire 80 per cent of the
maturing debt without refunding
met with overwhelming defeat on a
voice vote.
The third part of the report, urg-
ing that officials Of special taxing
areas use increased revenues from
