privates-at least in public. The
impression was left that the po-
tential romance between an officer
w. A. A. c. and an Army private
would take the count.
As to the question of titles in the
corps. Mrs. Hobby settled that def
nitely and satisfactorily. She is
properly called Director Hobby
not Madame Director nor Major
Hobby. although she holds the rela-
tive rank of major and draws a
majors pay Also it is going to
be assistant directors and leaders
not captains and lieutenantS. A
w. A. A. c. private is an "auxil-
larry"
AS for referring to the corps as
w. A. A. C.'S, Director Hobby replied
that it was "a term that pleases
me we'll"
In serious vein the conference
turned to the grim realities that will
face the women after they enlist.
Sixty-two different classifications
of jobs will offer plenty of latitude
to women in the service. Mrs.
Hobby enumerated clerks, chauf-
feurs, laboratory technicians, tele-
phone operators, etc. They are po-
sitions now filled for the most part
by enlisted men and each man re-
placed for combat duty. That is

How about girdles," . woman
reporter asked.
That I can't tell. Mrs. Hobby
replied. She added. however, that
If girdles are required, they will be
supplied by the Government.
And what about cosmetics?"
Mrs. Hobby explained with an en-
couraging smile that the girls would
be able to use "inconspicuous make
up"
Who decides what is inconspicu-
ous?' another asked.
Il hope their own good taste will
decide was the quick answer.
Questioned on Nail Polish.
There were questions, too, about
hngernail polish. That too, can be
used if not too conspicuous" Mrs.
Hobby herself was very inconspicu-
GUS in that respect.
Again the question of clothes
came up. She explained that the
w. A. A. C.s may wear civilian
clothes when on leave of their
posts-but not on duty.

is a burning queStion-will officer

dates with Army privates?"
Mrs. Hobby replied that the CORPS
would follow Army traditions.
What is that tradition?" some
one persisted. Again stressing that
we will follow Army policy as near
as possible" Mrs. Hobby turned
smilingly to the unabashed Gen,
Surles.
We'll, as a general rule. it's ha-
bitual for officers to associate to-
gether and for enlisted men to as
soclate together. Both like It that
way" he volunteered.
Queries on Dating Habits.

house for violation Of rules. Regu-
lations will provide, however, proper
punishment for infraction.
And other thing. The w. A. A.
C.s will do their own cooking There
will be no escape from the kitchen
range.
About two weeks hence, ofiicer
candidates will be admitted in lin
tied numbers. Recruiting off1ces in
the nine corps areas Of the Army
will be opened to receive applica-
tions. Recruitment of the rank and
file will not begin until about three
months.
Each of the corps areas will rec
ommend at least 90 ofiicer candi-
dates for final consideration. That
accounts for possibly $40. In addi-
ton they will be recruited from
the volunteers who have served
with the Aircraft Warning Service.
Eventually about three-fifths Of
the 10000 w. A. A. C.s, which Is
JIlc IudAllluIIi nulIlUCI diOWCO uhdCt
law, will take over duties In the
Warning Service. Only $4,000 will
be recruited at the start.
There will be n administrative
companies, three for each corps area.
Two Colored Companies.
Colored women will be enrolled
under the same proportionate basis
as provided for colored officers and
men In the Army. Forty OF the
initial ofiicer candidates will be
colored, and two of the eight serv-
ioe company of w. A. A. C.s will be
allotted to that race.
New construction at Fort M0ines,

Mrs Hobby replied with promise

She added: 1T Is an honor for
any citisen to serve with and work
for the Army of the United States.

You have said the Army needs this

maneuvering. This Is her second

The dignity of the masculine
stronghold that is the War De-
partment was considerably upset
at the press conference the new di-
rector of the w. A. A. Cs held
afterwards but her own perfect poise
was not disturbed in the least.
There were such questions as:
Can a w. A. A. c. officer date

Can a w. A. A. c. wear lip
stick-colored nail polish?"
And will girdles be a part of
the uniform issue?"
General Comes to Rescue.
Secretary Stimson and Gen. Mar
shall had left the conference room
before then but Maj. Gen. Alex
ander D. Surles, director of the Bu-
reau of Public Relations, remained
at his post. In at least one in
stance he gallantIy came to the
rescue.
With the women reporters out
numbering the men, naturally the
first question fired at Mrs Hobby
was about the uniform. In some Of
the masculine minds the thought
prevailed, perhaps, her own smart
costume was a tip-off.
No news emanated about the uni

Farm Bloc Senators
May Split on Surplus
Grain Sale Prices
Floor Fight Predicted
After Disogreements
Crop Up at PorIey
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A tWo-hour conference OF the
Senate farm bloc failed yeSter-
day to produce an agreement on
price levels at which the Govern
ment should sell it's surplus
wheat, corn and other grains for
livestock feed.
As a result, most Senators be-
lieved the entire controversy was
headed for a floor fight in the Sen
ate chamber, starting tomorrow,
with possible breaks In the usual
solid front presented by the farm
bloc on legislative issues.
Varying Versions Given.
Each of the 26 Senators who sat
in the parley had slightly differ
ent version of what tranSpired, but
Senators Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia; Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama, and McNary, Republican,
of Oregon, who talked over the dis
pute with President Roosevelt late
Friday at the White House, pre-
dicted this course:
First the Senate Appropriations
Committee would propose that SO
cents a bushel be the lowest per-
missible price for sale of 125, 900 900
bushels OF Government wheat for
feeding purposes.
II this failed to meet Senate ap-
proval, . motion would be made to
strike from the farm appropriation
bill all proposals for restricting
Government sales OF wheat, corn
or other livestock feeds.
1t was believed the figure Of 80
cents q bushel would be agreeable
to the administration. This is
roughly IS per cent OF parity. Par-
ity Is q price, based on costs Of
things farmers must buy, which
gives q farm commodity the same
purchasing power 1t had in some
base period. usually 1909 -1s14)
Substance of Dispute.
The dispute Is this:
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
contends Government-own grains
should be sold at about IS per cent
of parity to encourage farmers to
increase production Of meat and
dairy products.
Some minded members Of
Congress, objecting that this policy
holds down market prices for wheat
and corn, have proposed to forbid
sale Of the Government stocks at
prices below parity.
Other members of the farm bloc
were leaving the question chiefly
to legislators from corn and wheat
States.
AS he emerged from the farm
parley yesterday, Chairman Smith
Of the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee told reporters that the corn
and-wheat boys are. fussing but If
they can agree I'll go along with
them"

Union Agent Is Indicted
As 'Kick-Back' VioIator

Attorney General Biddle an
nounced yesterday that Federal
grand jury in Syracuse, N. Y, had

Henry Vitalius, union business
agent, with violating the Federal
anti kick back" statute.
The indictment, in seven counts,
charged that Vitalius. assistant bust
ness agent of Local 80. Sheet Metal
Workers Union, had collected more
than $4,000 in permit fees" from
workers engaged on the construction
of the Army Regulating Station at
Voorheesville, N. Y. If convicted he
faces a possible fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment of five years. or both.
The indictment alleged that vi
talius, operating under closed
shop contract between the union
and the Henry Olsen Co. of Pough-
keepsie. subcontractors. had collect
ed permit fees" of $500 a day from
more than so workers over a period
of three months.
The case, another in series of
prosecutions being brought by the
war frauds unit of the Justice De-
partment, was handled by Amos w.

without any reservation whatever,
that the war against Hitler is one
war and not two and that it can be
planned as one war only through the
unified machinery of grand STRAIT
egy."
At about the same time, the Berlin
radio said the Nazi government
would take extreme measures if the
British followed the Russian demand
for immediate trial of the Germans
whom the British have in their
hands.
Hess was not named in the broad
cast, but the meaning was clear, for
Hess ranks first in this category.
Contrary to British View.
The Times said an immediate
trial would be contrary to the pro-
claimed view of the British govern
ment that any proceeding against
war criminals should be based on an
examination of the evidence, which
could hardly become available while
hostilities continued, and that it
would be the "pretext for cam
paign of frightfulness against Brit
ish prisoners in Axis hands
"All these reasons make it impos-
sible for the British government to
accede to the proposal" the Times
said. Those who put it forward
are cognizant of these facts and will
certainly not have expected any
other answer
The newspaper expressed belief
two immediate reasons for the Mos
cow proposal were:
l. AS protest against the an
nouncement by the British and
United States governments on their
own responsibility of the decision to
provide postwar trials for war
criminals.
2. AS a fresh symptom of Soviet
disappointment and disapproval at
the failure of British and Amer
leans to create a military diversion
which might relieve the pressure on
Russia
Called Serious Mistake.
The Times said it would seem the
British and American governments
had made serious and avoidable
mistake, which has been very nat
urally resented. in acting independ-
emily of their Russian allies, even
though the Russians may have been
likely to assent to the course pro-
posed"
The Russian government Endorsed
the trial plan after 1t was an
nounced in Washington and London
and then proposed that special
tribunal undertake at once to pun

cist Germany who, in the course of
the war, has fallen into the hands

Soviet Has Not Asked
Hess Trial at Once,
Eden Declares
No Special Treatment
Given Ex-Nozi Leader,
Commons Is Told
Sy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
LONDON, Oct. 81. - Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the
House of Commons today that
the Soviet government has made
no suggestion to the British gov
eminent that Rudolf Hess, Ger
man leader now held in Britain,
should be brought to trial i'm
Ndiately..
Hess has been treated as a pris-
oner of war" Mr. Eden said. There
never has been, nor can there be
any question of treating him as an
envoy or of giving him any form
of diplomatic or privileged status.
Asked if Hess lived lin exactly
the same conditions of comfort or
discomfort as ordinary prisoners of
war" Mr. Eden replied:
Yes. sir. that is his status"
The Foreign Secretary said that
I'm our judgment there is no cause
to apply to Hess treatment other
than that now being elaborated by
the United Nations for dealing with
war criminals, whoever they may
be-
Question Arose October Is.
The question of immediate trial
for Hess arose October Is when the
Tass agency in Moscow circulated
the reply of Soviet Foreign Com
missar Molotov to a 10-month-o old
communication from a number of
European governments in exile.
The Soviet Foreign Commissar
came out bluntly for immediate trial
snG punishment for any organizer
of German atrocities" already i'm
priSoned by the Allies. Hess was
named as such an organizer along
with Hitler, Goering, Himmler, Rib
bentrop and Rosenberg.
The Molotov note did not go to the
British government, but to those of
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia,
Norway. Greece, Belgium, the Meth
erlands, Luxembourg and the French
National Committee.
Last Monday a Pravda editorial
demanded an immediate trial for
Hess and said 1T must be finally
established who Hess is nova
criminal subject to trial and pun
lshment or plenipotentiary rep
resentative in England of the Hitler
government who enjoys inviola-
bility."
Reprisals Threatened.
The London Times today de-
scrlbed as impossible of fulfillment
the Russian call for an immediate
trial and the Berlin radio threat
ened drastic reprisals if the British
accepted them.
The fundamental point in the
Russian call for trial of Hess, one
time deputy of Adolf Hitler who
has been prisoner in Britain II
months, was declared by the Times
to be the broad issue of confidence
between Allies"
The newspaper said confidence
will be fully established only when
the conviction exists on both sides
