Reckord Tells Graduates
Army Needs Mechanics
By the Associated Press.

L
BELTSvILLE. Md, Sept. 1o.-Ths
mission OF soldiers who keep motor
transportation operating "is just as
important as the mission of the man
behind the gun at the front" Mai.
Gen. Milton A. Reckord told the
first class of $50 graduates of the
Sd Service Command Motor Me-
chanic School today.
The school was organized by
Gen. Reckord, commanding the Sd
Service Command, on War Depart
ment instructions at the site of
former CCC camps here. s'
The first class was from Camr
Lee, Va, and today the members
completed 12-week course in auto
motive carburetion and electrical
work on engine and chassis units.
The men will be assigned to various
medium and heavy maintenance or
carnations in the field.
Gen. Reckord declared that pre-
Ventive maintenance is of the high
est Importance in that it keeps the
vehicles rolling and keeps them out
OF the shop. A rolling vehicle in
good condition is an asset; a vehicle
on the dead line is liability. Your
mission in keeping the motor trans
portation operating is just as i'm
portant as the mission of the man
behind the gun at the front, for it
is the vehicles that you keep in con-
dition that permit supplies to ba
moved to the man at the 'front.'" !

intended to teach our young people
how to keep their bodies and souls
fit for life's highest and best?
A. The course is intended to de-
scribe to the pupils truly and sci
entifically the effects, good and bad,
of alcohol and tobacco. I hope that
the bad effects will be stressed to
the utmost, but I hope that when
the pupils finish the course, they
will have the information which is
known concerning these subjects, so
that they can exercise their free
will, and that they can be assured
that the course Is for education and
not for propaganda.
I agree with your last paragraph
that mo man or woman has re-
gretted living a life of abstinence
from intoxicating liquors and have
met many people who regret deeply
and with tears that they ever
touched it."
I hope that I have made myself
and my motives clear to you in this
letter, and I hope also that when I
am 80 years of age. my mind will be
so clear as to allow me to express
myself as well as you have in your
letter to me.

Kruger Begins Prison
Term Of 81 Years for
Posing as Officer
Silver Spring Alien Gets
Maximum Sentence as
'Nozi Threat PIeu FoiIs

A Silver Spring enemy alien i'm
personating an Army Air Forces
captain, who was exposed by
two Montgomery County policemen
trailing him in woods near the
Burnt Mills filtration plant, today
began serving a Ga year sentence.
He was convicted yesterday on
charges OF illegally wearing an Army
ohicer's uniform. failing to register
as an alien, posing as an American
citizen and possessing the captains
insignia.
Fred John Kruger, 36, of the 200
block Of Leighton avenue, Silver
Spring, received the sentence, the
Associated Press reported, after
Federal Judge William c. Coleman
at Baltimore declared:
Whether or not you are in fact
tied up with some other sinister in
f1uences, your record is so bad that
the court feels you are entitled to
receive the maximum penalty on
each count of the indictment
against you"
Arrest Follows Probe.
His arrest followed an investiga-
ton launched by Montgomery
County police at the Silver Spring
sub-station, the chief Investigators
being Pvts. Frank r. Griggs and
Pvt. Stanley Harding.
Mr.. Griggs testified he had fol-
lowed Kreuger on several occasions
in thu u,n<de noor the n,,~~t nr;,-
reservoir, which stores millions of
gallons of the water supply for
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. The policeman said he
was attracted by Kreugers sus-
picious actions and that he lost the
trail as the alien disappeared In
thick underground.
Patrolman Griggs also told the court
about mysterious telephone calls in
which he said threats were made to
harm Krueger's family. He said the
calls came from a Nazi agent, not
identified otherwise.
Kruger told the court he re-
ceiVed phone call while he was
living in Falls Church, Va, in which
voice told him that If he wanted
to see his child grow up, he should
obey instructions. The defendant
said he later received a Nazt PAM
phlet which he turned over to the
FBI.
Continue Phone Calls.
He said the mysterious calls con-
tlnued to bother him after he moved
to Silver Spring.
Kreuger said that on one occasion
he met, on orders received over
the telephone, a red-faced man
whom he drove to a spot near the
filtration plant at Burnt Mills.
K. Thomas Everngam, prosecutor,
told the court that Kruger came
to this country from Germany in
1928 and that the defendant had
been dishonorably discharged from
the United States Army several
years later for desertion.
Judge Coleman refused Krueger's
request to defer the start of his
sentence until after the war. Krue-
ger expressed a willingness to enter
the armed services.
