If the Public Utility Commission

PUG yesterday.
Mr.. Prettyman made the state
ment at what was the final public

after the company submits a brief
by September 20.
The question of the cost of new
capital was raised in the hearing
more than 4 week ago by Robert
G. Overs, vice president. treasurer
and chief financial officer of the
gas company. He argued that the
cost of obtaining new capital from
the investing public was prime
reason why the company's basic

This year, in addition to the GUS

on the value found for rate-making
purposes should be reduced to
6 per cent.
After the hearing, Mr.. Prettyman

As one step toward more effi-

assure that farms are not becoming

Reed Finds QUALITY
OF Soldier Depends
On Basic Education

"The quality of our soldiers de-
pends to a large extent upon the
basic education which they have
when entering the Army" according
to Dr.. c. r. Reed, first assistant
superintendent of schools, who re-
turned recently from a tour of three
induction centers by State educa-
tional leaders.
Arranged by DR.. John Studebaker,
United States commissioner of edu-
cation, and Maj. Gen. Milton A.
Rockford of the Sd Service Com
mand, the tour included the Balti-
more Army Induction Station, the
Fort Meade Reception Center and
the Aberdeen Replacement Training
Center. It's purpose was to provide
educators with an opportunity to
observe Army training and life, in
order that the preinduction train
ing program might be made more
effective.
The man who Is best trained"
DR.. Reed continued, has the best
chance to survive in modern COM
bat. so in very real sense, we are
saving the lives of American boys
by giving them thorough training
In the fundamentals in the schools
before their induction into the
Army"
Those fundamentals are defined
by DR.. Reed as the following: An
understanding of the issues of the
war, knowledge of world geo.
graphy, familiarity with the Selec-
tive Service Act, as it pertains to in
duction, classification and assign
ment; conception of the problems
OF efncient group living.
DR.. Reed stresses the Importance
OF a thorough grounding in Eng
lish to enable each boy to cope
with reports, orders and training
manuals, to write necessary re-
ports and letters and to fill out
forms. regulations, receipts and ad-
dresses.
A knowledge of simple arithmetic
Is important, he feels, in order to
enable soldiers to manage personal
finances and to work with maps and
scales Of distance.
Stating that the Army has list
ed $50 special occupations for which
they require soldiers in 1943," DR..
Reed observes that every soldier
should have some basic vocational
skills."
In the Baltimore induction center
illterates rejected by the Army con-
stitute about per cent of white
and 40 per cent of colored.
DR.. Reed says that the situation
In this area compares very favor
ably with the rest Of the Nation, as
the national figure just released for
the first II months of selective
service shows that 27.6 per cent Of
the inductees were rejected.
