By the Associated Press

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Aug, s.
Three candidates for Governor OF
Virginia will have cnance here
tonight to give their views on school
financing before group OF Vir-
ginia's educators.
A panel on the subject is sched-
uled for tonight's session OF a con-
ference on the public and the
public schools in Virginia. spon-
sored by the Virginia Education
Association at Mary Washington
College.
Candidates John IS. Battle, State
Senator from Charlottesville;
Francis P. Miller of Albemarle, and
Mayor Horace H. Edwards OF Rich
mond will speak.
Last night G. Tyler Miller, State
superintendent of public instruction,
expressed fear that IAN entire gen.
Grafton of Virginia children Will be
sacrificed" unless steps are taken to
move forward with school build
ing program.
Lists Major Problems.
The topic is one that has brought
in recent months number OF re-
quests to Gov. Tuck to call a special
session of the General Assembly to
raise funds for school construction.
Mr.. Miller appraised the entire
educational picture. He listed as
major problems for school officials:
ID An adequate supply of competent
teachers, ~ improvement III the
quality of instruction, 90 better
pupil transportation in the rural
areas, and a. State. or State and
local, school building program.
The audience was warned against
too much expenditure for education,
however, by N. w. Kelley of Roam
oke. president of the Virginia State
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Kelley
said that continuing expansion OF
governmental services, at the State
or local as we'll as the Federal level,
threatened to destroy the free enter
prise system.
To Get Up-toDate Data.
Supt. Miller expects to be able to
Law before the State Board of Educa-
ton and Gov. Tuck in November
the entire situation relative to build
ing needs. He told the audience he
was going to obtain up-to-date in
formation from local school divisions
on their building needs for the next
( and IN wear DeriO0S
A provision for more adequate
salaries was listed by Mr.. Miller as
one of the main problems facing
Virginia public school educators.
He said the increasing and I'M
.precedented inf1ationary spiral, re-
sulting in almost unheard of living
costs" has to large extent offset
the gains which teachers have made
in Virginia in salaries in recent
years.
Dowell J. Howard, assistant super
intendent of public instruction
spoke last night on vocational educa-
ton in Virginia; o. w. Wake,
director of elementary education

Transit Firm Officials
Face Third Day Of Quiz
On Fare Raise Need
By Jerry O'Leory, Jr.

Attorneys for organizations oppos-
ing the Capital Transit Co.'S request
for higher streetcar and bus fares
today were scheduled to submit
company witnesses to q third con-
secutive day of cross examination
at Public Utilities Commission hear
ings on the proposed boost.
Benjamin C. Sigal, representing
Americans for Democratic Action,
and Harry R. Booth, attorney for
the Washington Committee for Con-
sumner Protection, planned to ques-
ton Capital Transit witnesses and
attack the company's evidence.
The company wants the PUG to
authorize an increase in the 10-cent
cash fare to IS cents, sale of two
tokens for quarter and an increase
in the price of the $1.50 weekly pass
to $1.85.
Both the ADA and the Consumer
Committee are recognized as inter-
venors by the PUG, with the right
to cross-examine, introduce wit
nesses and testimony and appeal to
the courts. The American Veterans
Committee also is an intervenor.
Quizzed on Testimony.
A fourth intervenor, the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association, spent
most of yesterday cross-examining
J. E. Heberle, vice president and
controller of Capital Transit, on his
earlier testimony about why the
company needs the fare increase.
The Federation spokesman was
George Corbin, vice chairman of its
public utilities committee.
Mr.. Heberle also was cross-eX-
amined yesterday by Peoples Coun-
sci John O'Dea and Special Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Lloyd B
Harrison, the city law departments
public utilities expert and counsel
to the PUG.
Mr.. Corbin told Mr.. Heberle he
did not think the people of Wash
ington would accept the proposed
SCHEDULE of fare increases. He
asked Mr.: Heberle whether Capital
Transit would seek fare reduction
if it were discovered that the fare
increases, upon being authorized
brought the company more than the
legal rate of return.
Mr.. Heberle said the company
would. in such a case, seek a fare
reduction, but added that he did
not think it likely occurrence.
Return Would Be 712G.
The company official contended
the proposed increases would fix
the company's income at about the
~ per cent rate of return allowed
on it's s3O,OO0.O00 investment.
He said it would be nice" to have
a scent fare in Washington but
declared the company could not
exist on such fare.
Mr.. Corbin asked Mr.. HeRerle If
cut-backs made by Capital Transit
in it's service would not permit the
company to continue operating at
it's present revenue level. Mr.. He
berle replied that, if the cut-backs
had not been made, Capital Transit
previously would have had to seek
a higher fare or 60 into bankruptcy.
The Federation spokesman then
asked Mr.. Heberle If the company
could accept a compromise fare
schedule of IL cents cash, five tokens
for IS cents and a $1.65 weekly pass.
MIR. Heberle said 1t could not.

 The lawmakers want to clear the decks for final action next week on a draft bill, a housing measure and a wide assortment of odds and ends threatening a last-minute jam that might force their return after the political conventions.
 The House set aside an unusual Saturday session to debate, and pass if possible, bills dealing with taxa tion, farm prices and Social Se- curity.
 The Senate was expected to spend all day debating House-passeo bill to extend the reciprocal trade act until June 30, 1949. The ad- miristration has asked a three-yeai extension of the tariff law that ex- pires at midnight tonight.

Rail Link 10 Alaska Through British Columbia Requested;
 Resolution Given 10 Senate

WASHINGTON, June l2.-IR A rail link with Alaska through Brit ish Columbia was urged in a resolu- tion introduced jointly in the Sem ate today by Sens. Magnuson (D- Wash.) and Butler (R-Nebl
 The resolution asked President Truman to begin negotiations with the Canadian government for ex- tension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railroad to the Alaskan boundary. The present northern terminus of the line is at Prince George, B. c. [ The President was requested further to authorize surveys to de- ternine the feasibility of extending the Alaska Railroad to connect with the Pacific Great Eastern at the Canada Alaska border.
 Plans, specifications. cost esti- mates and budget requests would be included under the terms of the resolution.
 MT. Truman also was asked to include reciprocal tariff and lmmi- grafton arrangements in his nego- tiations with the Canadian goy- ernment.
 Magnuson and Butler said the defense and development of Alaska justified the building of a trans continental railroad to the Terri tory.
 A similar resolution was intro duced in the House by Rep. Jones tR.-Wash.)
 The Bremerton Congressman said that existing transportation must be extended to bring fuller utilization of the Territory's mineral, timber and other resources so vital to it's defense.
 The defense of Alaska is essential to the security of the United States, 7 he said.
