 Tn addition 10 this work. which was mostly on a contract basis be- tween the government and private agencies. prisoners also worked for the Army at bases and camps.
 Although paid at the prevailing wage level for civilian workers doing the same type of labor, the prisoners working on private con- tracts receive only 80 cents a day. They are paid in coupons redeem able for goods at camp canteens.
 The remaining money earned by the prisoners is paid to the Army and deposited in the treas ury.
 Through ls44. S22.ooo.ooo was deposited with the treasury. The total of such deposits was S3s.000.- 900 up 10 June l. l945.
 In addition the Army estimated it saved S152,OO0,0O0 in wages by using POW help in camps.
 Housed Tn Camps
 Prisoners are housed in 150 camps located on Army bases, and at 300 branch camps set up wher- ever the prisoners are working.
 The POWs housed at bases live in compounds, usually an unused section of the camps barracks. However the branch camps vary from tents to abandoned schools or buildings in the vicinity of their work.
 When they are ready to be shipped home, the POWs are moved into a staging area near their port of authorization. Then they are loaded, in most cases, Army transports headed for Europe to bring Americans home.
 Together with other prisoners taken after the equalization of Germany. the POWs will be as- signed 10 various types of recon struction work in Europe by the division of the Allied control council.
 The provost marshals office said that with increased shipping, lessened needs for POW labor in the United States, and better fla cilities in the European theater to handle them, the return of all POWs in the United States will be materially stepped up so as to have them all returned by spring.

Edison Raie
Cut Affirmed
10 Million DoIIor
Slash is Ordered

LANSING, May "a - (P) -
The State Public Service Com
mission today affirmed a 1914
order requiring the Detroit Edi-
son Company to reduce its gross
revenues by S1O,450,0OO and or
dered a similar reduction of it's
l945 revenue.
William j. McBrearty, COM
mission chairman, said the COM
mission reached the same de-
cision as last year, but by a
slightly different method. Only
two of the five members issuing
today's order were on the COM
mission last year.
RAISE RETURNS
He said the principal change
in today's order was to allow in
vestors 512 per cent return on
their investments instead of the
4.68 per cent permitted last
year.
The order refuses to permit
the company to charge against
normal operating expenses in
determining its rate structure
100000 in excess profits taxes
it pays to the federal govern
ment, and $l,45O,OOO in its post
war reserve fund.
The original order was the re-
suit of the State Supreme Court
decision which said the commits
sion should not necessarily per-
NIT excess profits taxes to be
charged against operating ex-
penses in determining rates.
CITE HUGE PROFITS
"We feel the company is MAX
ing a great deal of money in the
war effort, as reflected in it's
excess profits taxes, and that the
rates which produce these taxes
are therefore unreasonable"
McBrearty said.
The Edison Company will be
permitted a hearing in October
to determine whether the order
should be modified and Nc
Brearty said the commission felt
that if the company's revenue is
less in 1945 it probably would
be entitled to a rate increase.
