CONGRESS NOT TO
 RECESS THIS WEEK
tcontinued from Page D

provements arrived from the White House for possible action by the House.
 Rayburn was asked whether Presi- dent Roosevelt, had been advised of the leaders decision not to force the issue on a recess now.
 Not by me-" the speaker replied. '"The President has not taken any stock whatever in whether we ad- journ, recess, or stay in session."
 Many members of the solid Repub- lican bloc opposed to lengthy re- cess have based their objection in part on the ground that in event of emergency before the expiration of the recess even the President could not summon legislators back to town. Parliamentary experts said, however, 1t would be possible for him to do so.
 The House leaders abatement of immediate recess efforts came few hours after Vice President John Nance Garner left the capital for his home ct Uvalde, Texas, appar. ently believing there was nothing worthwhile for him to do here.

Waterbury Turns Out To Welcome Willkie|
WiIIkie SideIights

at the north side of the green, on west Main street.
 During his visit to Hartford this afternoon, the presidential candi- date was scheduled to call on Most Reveredn Maurice F. Mo- Auliffe, Bishop of Hartford. The Bishop was to receive WiIIkie at Episcopal residence on Farming ton avenue.
 The usual rumors of changes in schedule were heard, anc The Dem ocrat office received many calls ask ing if the announced route was to be followed.
 Aldan D. Davis, of 25 Concord street, spent much of the morning distributing WiIIkie booster pla- cards, which he had printed at his own expense. The top line on each placard read, 70 Willkie."
 The worried frowns of members of the reception committee gave way to beaming smiles when the sun came out this morning. They had been afraid of rain, that would dampen the enthusiasm of the well come.
 Scores of newspapermen, repre- senting the wire services; papers in large cities, and Connecticut papers were in cars behind the official party as the motOrcade rolled into Waterbury from Nau- gatuck.
 One of the Willkie itineraries sent out from Republican headquarters in New York listed Willkie as pass ing through Woodbury rather than Waterbury. The correction came too late for many of the reporters, and several dispatches published today named Woodbury rather than this Ic city

complicated as had been anticipated. The task is simple, it was stated, re- quiring the man to appear, answer certain questions and the cards are then turned over to the town clerks.
 It was emphasized because of cer- tain misunderstanding that regis tration by proxy is not permitted. All persons must appear in person to register, the only exemption to this being in the case of persons Ill in bed when a special registrar IS appointed to go to the home and take the registration.
 The town and city election ott1- cials were urged to be most con- siderate of all those who apply to register next Wednesday. They were urged to give all the time necessary in explaining the meaning of regis tration and to be certain that all necessary information is posted so that the young men may read the questions which they will be called upon to answer.
 The town officials were informed that all necessary forms will be de- livered to them by Saturday so that each registration board will have its necessary registration cards and other eqfluipment at least four days prior to registration day.
 Washington, Oct. 9E(UP)-The $500 local draft boards will begin to operate within "A hours after the estimated 16,4O4, ,000 men register on October Is, conscription officials said today.
 The 24-hour goal was disclosed shortly after President Roosevelt ap- proved recommendations by gover- nors of Main, Idaho, Arizona and Colorado establishing local draft machinery in those states. Rapid ap- proval of the setup for other states is expected to follow.
 "All local boards, as well as state headquarters in 52 states and terri tories, must begin operations imme- diately on October IT, the day after the nationwide registration" the headquarters said.
 The local boards must receive and index the cards received from regis trants at 125,000 polling places, shuffle them, and assign them serial numbers for the lottery to be held to determine the order of men called to service. The lottery is expected to be held within 10 days after regis tration is completed.
 Meantime, draft officials were pre- pairing to issue quotas to the various states for the first call for conscriptS. Each state is given credit for the number of men voluntarily serving in any branch of the armed services of the nation.
 To assist in getting the local boards housed and organized by October 13, conscropti onheadquarterS yesterday released detailed regulations govern ing such things as obtaining offices, hiring clerical help,, and procuring office equipment and supplies.
 Officials estimated that it would require about $24,000,000 to handle administrative expenditures of the program during the remaining nine months of the current fiscal year. About IS per cent of this amount, it was said, would be needed for non- recurring items such as printing registration forms and question naireS.
