WAVES Arriue At
 Smith For 7raini11g

Northampton, Mass, Aug. 28- (UP)-Gay and gossippy, the first four WAVES arrived today as the vanguard of 129 who will come here during the next 10 days for training as officers at the Smith College school for SailoretteS.
 First to arrive and receive the official title of No. l WAVE-was 33-year- It. Elinor Denton Rich of Gloucester. As she stepped smil- ingly from the train, she was en- gulfed by a welcoming committee that included IS naval officers, two dozen photographers and newsmen
 It. Paul ELS, member of the staff who will train the WAVES extended an official greeting and several of the group escorted Miss Rich to the commandant's office in Capen House on the campus.
 A few minutes later, a second train arrived with Its. Frances Rich of Los Angeles-not related to the No. 1 WAVE but 8 daughter of film actress Irene Rich; Georgianna Remer, 28, of New York City, and Bette Evans, B, of Council Bluffs, Ia.
 Frances Rich, who was returning to her alma mater, stepped ginger ly along the station platform, ex- p1aining:
 "These low-heel oxfords I bought to drill in are killing my feet" Versatile Miss Rich, who was sculptor of the army-navy nurse statue in Arlington National ceme- tery, came here from Burbank, Cal, where she hes been working as an engineering illustrator in an air. plane factory.
 The newly-arrived WAVES were quickly initiated ino the prehminar- les of navy discipline.
 After brief primping period, they received various instructions, includ- ing an order calling for drilling later today on the college athletic field.
 ''They've got to parade to meals, and they can't parade until they learn to march," said Capt. Herbert w. Underwood, dour retired naval officer who must whip the women volunteers into shape to fill shore jobs that will release fighting men.
 "I expect these young women to be 8 prize bunch of rockies, but I'm going to have some pretty good sailors before the month is over" ," Capt. Underwood added.
 By Oct. 6 the initial group of 129 WAVES are expected to be sutfi- ciently stepped in navy lore to quail ify as teachers for the first class of 800 sailorettes who enter the school on that date. Of these 900, 400 will be probationary officers and 500 will be officer candidates.
 For the present, perhaps for two weeks, the girls will train in their own sport clothing. However, natty uniforms-of navy blue with tri- corn hat modelled after the Amer ican seaman's cap of 1870--are in

the process of manufacture.
 Capt. Underwood, who has pre- viewed them, commented.
 'The hats are good looking, whereas those of the other organiza- ton, (the WAACS) in my opinion, look like he'll"
 Until Lt.-Comdr. Mildred H. Mc- Afee, Wellesley College President and head of the WAVES, arrives, It. Elizabeth B. Crandall, 36, will supervise training. The WAVES will be quartersd in Capen House where typical room includes these fur nishings: two double-decker beds, white blankets, regulation navy seersucker bedspreads, mattresses which Capt. Underwood pronounces better than those at Annapolis; wrought iron green lamps with peach-colored shades, mirrors, dress CTS, chairs, study tables, wastebas- ket, frilly curtain-and broom with which they will clean their own rooms
