main at $1.05 on each assessed 500
of personal property and real estate,
the Loudoun County Board of Su-
pervisors decided at its monthly
meeting yesterday when the budget

placed at $216, 861. go. 80
A sum Of $40, 900 was appropriated
to the schools for the coming year.
This is $1,000 less than the School
Board requested. However, the SUI
pervisors transferred to the School

aside last year for buses to be ap-
piled to the reduction of loans until
such time as school buses may be
purchased.
The budget included $4,000 for the
Loudoun County health unit, which
is $2,050 more than the county ap-
propriated last year, this amount
having been made up by private
contribution.
The board, after hearing requests
by Mrs. Nellie Fletcher, passed a
resolution requesting the w: & o. D.
Railroad to extend its service to
Purcellville, to continue operation
after the trial period and to in
crease the service to two trains
each way on weekdays and one on

MONTREAL, April 27.-Joseph c.
Grew, former United States Ambas-

the United Nations plan for the de-

that can be done to each of them
while fighting them both.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry at the opening of the fourth
Canadian victory loan campaign, Mr..
Grew emphasized that the war
against Japan and Germany was the
same war, lone and indivisible," and
that Japan is being defeated in
North Africa. because I'VE fight
Japan In Africa and the Mediter-
ranean, even as we fight Germany
in Asia and the Pacific"
The North African campaign
means much to the Toxic militarists,
the former Ambassador continued,
but ,"if they do not see the stark
truth SO much the better for us and
the more deluded they"
What defeats the German az
gressor will defeat the Japanese ag-
gressor," Mr.. Grew said. 1T is a
matter Of the simplest and most
elementary truth that the Chinese
are vertically fighting Germany in
the far hinterland of Shansi and
Yunnan, just as we are fighting
Japan both In the Pacific and in

The Navy Department announced
today that 80 per cent of the men
who will be called to active duty
July in the Navy Viz college pro-
gram will be inactive reservists
already in the colleges The other
40 per cent will be high school
graduates who have enlisted in the

The college reservists, who will be
placed on an active status, will be
permitted to complete additional
studies under their existing aca-
demic program, it was explained
However, the high school graduates
will enter Immediately on the pre-
scribed Navy curricula.
The primary purpose of the Navy
college training program, it, was
pointed out, is to disrupt as little
as possible the academic work OF
reservists now in college. A second
important purpose is to allow col
lege administrations to make the
shift to the new, fully prescribed

to avoid undue dislocations in AGA

wholesale Withdrawals that might
cripple departments as new classes
were called in the draft.
"All the departments" he con-

Traced
To Higher Wages
Education Department
Survey by Personnel.
Chiefs Shows Causes
BY the Associated Press,

ny INC A6S0Cl&tcQ SIeSS.
BALTIMORE, April 27.-Higher
wages was given as the primary
cause for Baltimore's labor turnover,
in survey conducted among various
industries by the Vocational War
Production Training Division of the
State Department of Education and
made public today.
The survey was made by "a per-
sonnet employees in various war in
dustries, who were requested by the
training division to observe their
workers, discover reason for quitting
or changing jobs and collect other
data rejecting on the turnover
problem.
Causes Are Surveyed.
A compilation Of the results of the
survey showed that the salary ques-
ton influenced more, changes than
any other single factor.
Second most important reason for
changes was induction into the
armed forces, which was described
by Director John J. Seidel of the
vocational program as an unavoid-
able cause.
Third factor was poor supervision
dissatisfaction with foremen and
supervisors, who often knew little
about handling personnel, the survey
said
Mr.. Seidel disclosed that the War
Training Division would sponsor a
course entitled Human Engineer
Ing in Industry" to correct this
weakness.
This program is designed to train
supervisors and foremen in the war
production industries in Maryland.
For years industry has spent mil
lions of dollars in research in de-
signing equipment and developing
new processes in production. The
rapid expansion in the industries
has now brought to the attention
OF management a very striking
weakness-that is, the DEVELOPMENT
of supervisory and foremanship per-
sonnet in the plants.
Lack Of Training Scored.
when an individual in industry
becomes a foreman or supervisor,
his responsibilities change COM
pletely. In addition to being able
to do the job with equipment and
materials, he is also called upon to
handle human beings-a RESPONSE
bility of paramount importance in
order to increase production with
limited manpower."
Lack of training was said to be
the fourth contributor to turnover.
The study showed that out of every
four unframed persons who have
taken work here three have changed
or resigned their jobs.
In all, 10 cases for job changes
were listed. Others were:
Disinterest in work. lack of hous-
ing facilities, absenteeism, poor in
duction program within the plant,
bad transportation, dislike of shift,
family conditions, physical handi-
caps, dissatisfaction with chances of
promotion, inability to get along
with fellow workers, dismissal, de-
sire to return to former place, of
residence, transient workers, racial
