and sweethearts wrote in scathing missives because they objected to this Lure" of the draftees.
 Now the cold, hard facts is that the army officials take this hostess business very seriously and have set high standard that applicants must reach before being consid- cred. Giggly-gurgly girlies are strictly taboo.
 This does not mean that an ap- plicant will be rejected merely because her face is not painful to behold. But she must have far other qualifications than mere looks. The government pay is good and the government re- quirements are accordingly high.
 Each army training camp is to have an army service club, run not by private enterprise, but by the army. Each club is t o have senior hostess and two junior hostesses. The senior hostess must be between 30 and 50, must be a high school graduate and must have had at least three years experience as a hostess or equivalent exper- fence in a similar occupation. Her pay is $2,100 per year. Junior host esses must be between 25 and 45, graduates of a high school and must have had at least one years exper- fence as a hostess. Salary is $1,620 per year.
 The senior hostess will have general charge of the club, pro- vide and conduct all social and recreational features, such as games and dances, in which women from the nearby towns may par ticipate. They will make provision for taking care of women and chill dren relatives of draftees who may visit the camp.
 One of the junior hostesses will have direct charge of the cafe- teria maintained for visitors to the camp. The other junior will perform such tasks as the senior assigns to her. All in all, the ar my will employ 99 hostesses for
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-17

B service clubs. Wherever pos sible, they will be selected from applicants living near the camps who are familiar with local con- ditions.
 ARMY DOES JOB
 ITSELF THIS TIME
 In the World War the hostess business was entirely in the hands of civilian organizations. But the army thinks 1t best to do the work as part of the army'S job this time. Organizations such as Y. M. c. A., Knights of Columbus, Young Mems Hebrew Association and Salvation Army will not be allowed to have houses in the army camps. But the army wants them to establish quar- ters in nearby towns.
 r The army service clubs are in- 1 tended for the private soldiers and non-commissioned officers. Tn these quarters there will be bill Hard tables, table tennis and other games, room with photograph a library and 8 writing room. The large camps will have guest houses where women relatives of draftees can put up for the night. The libraries will not be run in amateur fashion. The govern ment is employing only trained librarians at 8 salary of $2,600 per year for the big camps and $2,100 for the others. The large camps will have library of 5000 vol umes. Travelling libraries will sup ply the smaller camps. In every in- stance the books will be loaned without charge.
 The army has morale division whose whole purpose is to keep the men happy and amused when the days training duties are ended
 This division is going to have a highly organized system for distrib- uting motion pictures to all train ing camps. They plan to have tents or real theaters, holding from 1000 to 2,000 spectators, in each canton ment. The plan is to provide the soldiers big-name movies, as well as shorts. A small admission will be charged.
 Games will be encouraged. There will be baseball and football match es and track team events. The mor- ale division will be very pleased if the spirit of team rivalry can be aroused.
 Elaborate preparations are also being made to create a singing army. Recently the morale divi- sion sent out a questionnaire ask ing the men in the regular army to suggest songs that were their favorites. By an overwhelming ma jority the songs chosen were clean sentimental or romantic songs ol rousing marching or patriotic songs None of the Armentieres stuff Based on this survey, the morale division is preparing an army song book for the draftees. The men will be encouraged to go in for amateur shows. Often professionals will be found among the drafted men. In the World War, Irving Berlin was a rookie at Camp Yap Hank. He got up an elaborate show which was so successful with its soldier audiences that it finally went to New York City for performances before mere civilian audiences, who paid good money to see it.

POLICE GUARDING
 INDICTED YOUTH
Former Cheshire RefOrma= tory Inmate, Saitkowski,
 Awaits Murder Trial

Placed under a 24-hour guard, John Saitkowski, former inmate of the Cheshire reformatory, is under special police guard since he att tempted to commit suicide by slash ing his wrist, three weeks ago. Sait- kowski is being held at the New Haven County Jail awaiting trial for the murder of John Beall, a kitchen overeseer at the reforma- tory.
 Three supernumerary policemen of New Haven have been assigned to keep a lookout for any further attempts on his life, High Sheriff j.. Edward Slavin said last night. Sait- kawski attempted to kill himself shortly after he was indicted here on first degree murder charge and after he was released from the hospital after inflicting wrist wounds, additional guards were hired.
 The prisoner recovered quickly and made no other attempts to do away with himself, Sheriff Slavin said. Officials at the county jail have installed a radio in his cell as the prisoner had been depressed.
 Saitkowski was arrested at gun point in Attleboro, Mass, several hours after he escaped from the re- formatory on October 29. Beall and Mrs. Beall were later discovered at their home, victims of a brutal as- sault with a hammer. Saitkowski, who is a trusty, worked at the home of the Beall's. He was found in possession of Bealls automobile and was wearing an overcoat belonging to MT. Beall.
 The overseer died enroute to the St. Mary's hospital. His wife, who had received severe beating by the accused, still fingers on the danger list at the hospital.
 Saitkowski has a long police rec ord despite his A years. of age.
 The prisoners will be arraigned in superior court in Waterbury before Judge Robert Munger of Ansonia January T, when a date will be set for his trial. Public Defender Ed ward E. Carmody will defend Sait- koWSki.

mentary dishes of soup, dessert, fruit and bread.
 The restrictions on food and cigarettes foster quite a smuggling business in some of these products. If you know the proprietor of a restaurant you can usually get what you like, although with the lack of fats Spanish cooks are hard put to it to offer much vari- ety. You can still get American cigarettes for about 50 cents a pack age.
 Although the food in Spain is not good, the. farther north you go the better conditions seem to be. Barcelona, which was bombed num- erous times, has been repaired to a large extent and looks more pros porous than Madrid. Its larbor. however, is crowded with idle Span- ish ships. The beggars, so noticeable in Madrid are few in Barcelona, and there are far fewer ragged children picking up cigarette butts for resale. from the streets and cafe floors.

o1lOWAAS LklS pOCkIuarkS or DuAAebS and shrapnel.
 In some of the ruined apartment houses poor people hang 8 sheet or rug over the holes in their walls and live as though nothing had happen ed. However, the whole eastern sec- ton of the city came through the war comparativel ylnscathed, and the bull-ring was untouched.
 I arrived when Madrid was ex- ulting over the release of a supply of beer and the reappeararce of taxis for the first time in months.
 Spectacle for HimmIer
 The day Heinrich Himmler, Nazi Gestapo chief, departed after his conferences with Gen. Francisco Franco, I waited in the rain for five hours to see the military spec tacle. Madrid buildings were hung with flags in his honor. Some of the Nazi flags had swastikas print ed backwards. At intervals of 100 feet special police guarded the route Himmler was to take.
 At the airport there was unusual hustle. Smartly uniformed German officers stood talking in small groups. Spanish officers looked ex- pectantly down the road to Madrid. Civilian plane passengers were ig- nored.
 Eventually there was a roar of motorcycles, followed by caval- cade of big American cars. The officers snapped to attention, sal- uted, and Himmler stepped smiling into lobby that was as quiet as church. After two or three words with each officer, he passed within a foot of me and on to the landing field. There he briefly reviewed a squad of Spanish soldiery, to the ac- compartment of brass band play ing the Spanish anthem, then he stepped into one of the Junkers and zoomed off into the east. I was sur- prised at the lack. of precautions taken about strangers. There were no questioning of onlookers, no rules laid down. But the performance went off like clockwork.
 0VAhAG ANEW OAhA1VA uES
 The soldiers deployed along the way had been dressed in new uni- forms of blue with red trimmings.
 There had not been enough new ones to go around, however, so the last few miles to the airport had been guarded by gendarmes in the old uniform of tricorn hat and cape of dark blue. ..
 New uniforms are an unusual thing for Spain, for everything seems to be old. The hotel where Himmler stayed, for instance, was the Ritz, but the only indication of its name was the weather stains left by long defunct neon sign removed from its top floor long ago.
 The overworked trolleys, accord ing to many Madrillenos, should have been junked years ago. Now that there is so little gasoline available for automobile travel, the ycarry three times the load for which they were intended. The buildings need paint, and hundreds of them need repairs.
 It is almost impossible to get eggs in Madrid. The bread is al- most black and you are allowed only one piece at meal. Butter is rationed and scarce. Often it is rancid when you get it. The coffee is "ersatz" and exceedingly dis tasteful. Sugar is hard to get. Spaniards are allowed meat three times a week. One day a week is set aside as "one dish day" which means that only one main dish can be served, with the usual supple
