Registration Goes
 Over Very Smoothly
No Complete Figures Available Yet on Number of Per-
 nlanent Gas Ration Books Issued

Naugatuck, July 10 - No complete figures on the number who register ed yesterday for permanent gaso- line rationing cards were available this morning. Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden said registration yesterday went off quite smoothly.
 However, he said tendency not to follow the alphabetical group plan was noted, and he warned if this plan is not followed, that is If some who were supposed to register Thursday wait until Saturday to do so, they may be delay because of the additional numbers that have to be handled.
 MT. Chittenden said 380 registered at Salem school yesterday, of which 378 were cars, and two were motor cycles. This was the only report in this morning. He anticipates be- tween 5000 and $500 passenger ve- hicles will have been registered here by Saturday night, the final time. He said it may be slightly less be- cause commercial vehicles do not register now, whereas in the pre- vious gasoline rationing, both pas senger and commercial cars were registered at the same time. Owners of cars with combination licenses should register now, he said.
 MT. Chittenden pointed out the no alphabetical group was to reg ister today and the P-z group Sat urday. He reminded the Saturday date was not designated by the lo- cal board, but was ordered by the government.
 He said there were many requests yesterday for applications for sup plemental gas cards. He explained the applicants for this must fill the applications out personally and have 10 days in which to do SO and mail and take it into the ration board office here.
 4,3OO Stamps Sold
 A total of 4,300 auto tax stamps have been sold at the local post of flee up to today, Postmaster Frank T. Green said today. This is about 50 more than were sold in February when $209 stamps were on sale.
 New gasoline rationing registra- ton requires that the number of the tax stamp be given at the time of registration. This number is placed by the clerk on the ration book that is being issued now. A theory is that in view of this re-

Some will b. sent direct to pests for service il command of companies of carGj- dates who didn't quite make tte officer grade but remain as auxili- aries.
 Some will be given additional spe cialists training-such as aircraft warning or commissary manage ment. A certain per cent will be kept as instructors for the first large group of enlisted auxiliaries who will be admitted to Fort Des Moines, beginning September 18th, at the rate of about 70 per month. From the ranks of these "privates" all future WAAC officers will be promoted.

 thing done without enthusiasm is poorly done"
 Doing K. P. duty, cleaning bar racks, typing supply lists - and therell be plenty of that for the WAAC's in administrative compan- ies"-can be drudgery. It will be drudgery, unless both officers and auxiliaries have that zest given by a knowledge that they are serving vital purpose in the big Army drive for victory.
 LEADERSHIP MUST
 BE DEVELOPED
 Discussing his first big problem, that of training the initial care of officer candidates who will take over the handling of regular auxiliaries next September, Col. Faith empha- sizes the importance of leadership. There are four approaches to leadership training, according to Col. Faith. The first and simplest: taking turns directing eight-man squads and 50-man platoons in mill itary drill-once the girls have mas tered the rudiments of this military basic themselves.
 Second, the WAAC's will be given lectures on the set-up of the Army
