Chicago, Oct. 24.-(UP)-A young killer brought compulsory religious training to Cook county jail.
 Soft-osoken Warden Frank Sain ordered the training of all prisoners tween IS and 2l years old soon af- ter Bernard (Knifey) Sawicki, l0- year old former reformatory inmate who boasted of staying four persons, was lodged in the jail in August.
 Two priests visited Sawicki and gave him a Bible. The killer leafed through 1t and said he couldn't understand @ thing in it."
 Warden Acts Promptly
 'The thought flashed through my mind" Sain said, that here was a boy who had been in all our juvenile institutions for the past six or eight years and didn't know about our living God. Someone had slipped up. Religion is the most important part of Q youths lfe."
 The result of Sain's reflections was a compulsory program of two hours weekly of religious study, ClhSSeS OI dDOuL zO IlcIl ShCIL hlC conducted in a jail chapel. A priest meets with Catholics, a pastor with white Potestants and a Negro min ister with inmates of his race. The curriculum, includes Bible study. hymn singing and brief sermons.
 Program Accepted by All
 So effective has the program been, according to Sain, that even the snarlifg Sawicki, who is await ing execution for murder, has be- gun to soften. There has been no opposition to the program, sain said.

 The tune made the rounds of Tin Pan Alley in America but noth- ing ever happened to 1t. That's where Winston Churchill now enters the picture.

defense emergency into the post-war period.
 Since April 5, well over a hundred architectural firms have been as- signed defense housing projects projects ranging in size from 20 to 1890 families, and averaging 270 units each. Moreover, the signifi- canoe of the change in policy which this represents is not limited to such statistics, heartening as they are.
 Both USHA, working through 10. cal housing authorities, and the De- fense Housing Division in its direct construction are encouraging archi- tects to assume greater initiative and greater responsibility in the execu- ton of work under their control. De- parture from the stereotyped ap- proach and stiff restrictions (reai or imagined) which resulted in the dull uniformity of much peacetime housing has been encouraged.
 Among the architects selected have been Q goodly number of de- signers known for their originality and Individuality, including such names as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Eliel and Zero Saarinen, Antonin Raymond, and George Howe, as well as architects who have made national reputations in the small house field like William W. Wurster and Hugh Stubbins, Jr.
 Architects cf many projects have been urged to set aside a number of units for experimentation both. in design and construction, guinea pig houses whose performance will be carefully watched as time goes on and compared with that of their more conventional leighbors for the improvement of future work" the Architectural Forum points out. "The importance of this work can scarcely be exaggerated"
 "The assignment of independent architects to defense housing pro- jects marked a sharp reversal of the trend which had assigned more than two-thirds of the work of the pre- vious 6 months to Civil Service ar- chitects in government bureaus. It is belated recognition of the fact that the talents of large group of skilled building experts-the nations I practicing architects were being wilfully wasted at time when all- out effort was needed to lift the de- fense housing program out of gov- ernment red tape"
 The projects which the Architec- tural Forum presents in its October issue are the developments at Gen. ter Line, Mich.. Windsor Locks, Conn, Vallejo, Cal, and New Ken sington and Bethlehem, Pa.
