|. JOHNNY GETS HIS GUN
- JOHNNY GETS HIS GUN First Few Days at Army Reception Center Are Busy Ones For Rockies
One of a series taking a draftee into Uncle Sam's new army.
 
 BY MELTON BRONNER (NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington. November 4. = John o. Citizen, after being drafted by his local draft board and passed by the induction station in his re- zion, is sent to the nearest army reception center.
 At this place the new private leads a very busy two or three days in which most things will be new and strange and entirely different from his old civilian life.
 After a check-up on his pa- perS and the medical report, he, with many others like him, is sent to quarters where army clothes, blankets, mess kit, knife, fork and spoon are issued to him.
 He is assigned to a dormitory in the barracks. He learns that henceforth he will lose the privacy he had in his room at home. The dormitory is filled with many rows of beds and one of these is his.
 He does not stay in the dormi- tory long. He goes downstairs to be flngerprinted and ultimately this record is sent to Washington where other records are examined to see whether he has ever committed a felony. If so, he would be re- jected from the army and sub jected to punishment if he had concealed the facts.

HOUSE CONTROL
 SOUGHT BY COP.
Vigorous Battle Have Been Made By Republicans
 To Gain Seats
BY JOHN R. ZEAL United Press stan Correshondent)

Limited Press stan COrresbOndenO
 New York, Nov. 5-(UP)-vigor- ous Republican efforts to win con- trol of the House gave Congressional contests second-ranking importance in today's national election
 Except for Names three Repub- iican representatives, elected in September, all 435 seats In the House were before the voters.
 Republican leaders, from House Minority Leader Joseph w. Martin Jr., down, expressed confidence that their candidates would win maj ority of the races and thus contro' half the legislative branch of the government, regardless of the out come of the Presidential contest.
 Democrats Expect Loss
 Democratic leaders, who publicly claim they will increase their pres ent majority, concede privately they may suffer loss in membership bui maintain 1t will not be large. The. could lose Al seats rnd still have majority of one. Some Democrat predict the net loss will be no great CT than 10.
 The present division Is 259 Demo crats, 167 Republicans, with fou seats divided among three IlinoritS parties. There are five vacancies.
 Never has the nation elected chief executive of one political faitl and House majority of another.
 The Democrats entered the cleo ton with a, minimum strength oi 1858 to 175 seats in the solid Sout! and traditionally Democratic north ern city districts.
 Democrats hope to pick up seat at the expense of Republican in. cumbents in Connecticut, Wisconsin New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania Republicans expect to take Demo- cratic seats in California, Colorado Illinois, Indiana. Pennsylvania, ant even in the usually Democratic stat of Maryland, where Walter Jolansol Big Train" of baseball. is runnir against Democrat William D. Bryc incumbent, in the sixth district.

DISPOSAL PLANT
 GREATLY NEEDED
Health Officer Dr. Godfrey Emphasizes Importance
 At Club Meeting

A sewage disposal plant is badly needed in Waterbury, members of the Business and Professional Wo- mems club were told at their rooms last night by pr. Edward J. God frey, city health officer. He said that almost 1, million gallons of sewage are dumped directly into the Naugatuck river daily from this city and that extremely unsanitary con- ditionS have been created along the river banks.
 Dr. Godfrey said that probably the best type of disposal plant here would be one like New Britain's, since the cheaper methods which Hartford and Middletown can use would not be satisfactory for this city.
 The cost of erection and mainte- nance Of the plant would be more than made up by the benefits re- ceiyed by the city, the health ofiicer stated.
 Miss Isabel Hinckley, president of the club. directed the meeting. Ear- Her supper was served. with Miss Elizabeth Somers acting as hostess
