Waterbury To Mobilize 200 Former Navy Men for Reserve; Headuuarters To Be Established
To Mnh;l;~~ 20l

Only the Hartford Recruiting Office is accepting enhstments for local naval reserve units, Mickey Klein, CMoMM, in charge of the Waterbury Recruiting Station. an- nounced this morning Two divi. sions of the U. S. Naval Reserve will eventually be set up in Water bury, Capt. George o. Currier, chief of staff to the director of Naval Reserve, Third Naval District, New York, said last night.
 Tn addition to the reserve divi- sions. a Quonset hut armory will be set up here to house the activi- ties of the units. The units will be part of IS reserve divisions and seven training ships to be stationed in the State.
 Klein stated that the local office can only enlist former Navy men for V-6 inactive reserve at pres- ent. All the papers are made out here and the enlistees are sent to New Haven to be sworn in. These men will be placed in a standby reserve. It is possible, he said, that when the units become active in Waterbury, all the men from this area in the standby reserve will be asked if they wish to join one of the local divisions.
 Local Divisions Planned
 The two Waterbury divisions will each have an approximate strength of 200 enlisted men and B officers. At present the only delay seen in the erection of the Quonset hut armory is the selection of site for its location. The hut will require a large tract of land, it was stated.
 Brig. -Gen. Reginald B. DeIsacour, adjutant general of Connecticut. has already approved the Navy Reserve plan for the state. Details are now being worked out for the relationship of the Navy to the National Guard in the State. The Navy plans to have the units work as a state naval militia.
 The naval district expects to have the program in operation by July l when federal funds will become available. Included in the plan are weekend cruises for the various units.

ter" sales to favored customers were unfair. There was slight inn- provement in the meat supply, but 1000 retail butchers remained closed, and 90 percent of the meat wholesalers were without meat; 4!O00 kosher shops planned to close for the rest of the week.
 CHICAGO-Beef has been scarce in the nations biggest meat pack ing center for months, due alleged- ly to black market shipments to the East. The city's 300 bakeries have only enough -four for two or three weeks after which they will be forced to close unless relief comes. Bread already is scarce and sold out early each day.
 LOS ANGELES-More than 60 percent of southern California meat markets closed yesterday. 'Slight improvement anticipated with nor- maj livestock arrivals this week. Bread supplies were short general ly. Retailers voluntarily were ra- tioning bread to one loaf a cus- toner Large bakeries still produc- ing between 50 to 75 percent of normal volume, but many reported they would be forced to close in the next two weeks unless supplies increase.
 BOSTON-Bread supplies are diminishing rapidly and many stores throughout Massachusetts are selling half loaves. Production of cakes and pastries reduced to save -four for bread. Springfield. Mass. suffered an acute shortage. and the public was asked to accept scarcities with Hess hysteria." Meat had disappeared from most coun- ters throughout New England.

Wethersfield has been appointed battalion commander for Hartford. No appointment of officers has been made for the Waterbury units. Three divisions and a headquarters battalion will be stationed in Hart ford. Quonset huts will be set up in the city and an LST will serve as a floating training center.
 Middletown will have assigned one division and an anti-slbmarine patrol craft. A destroyer escort and an LST will be stationed at New Haven. Either two or three divisions and a battalion staff will also be stationed there. A Quohset hut armory will be set up to house shore activities.
 Bridgeport will have a battalion staff and two or three divisions with a destroyer escort or an anti submarine patrol craft being used as a training ship. 4 Quonset hut will also be set up. The only sub. marine reserve division in the state will be established at New London where the facilities at the sub- marine base are available. Two de. stroyer escorts will be stationed there for use by reserve divisions in the Connecticut area as cruise ships.
 At Noroton-S Stamford two reserve divisions will be established with an anti-submaIdne patrol craft as- signed. Buildings used by the Navy during the war for Q communities tions school will serve as an armoFy.
 Synthetic Boat Planned
 Since no ship can be assigned to Waterbury for practical training, 1t was learned today that the Navy might possibly erect a dummy yes. sel in the city for this training. If this Is not done, the two divisions will probably have to go to one of the nearby cities for shipboard training.
 There are no plans to set up ayi. ation units in Connecticut, Among the divisions that will be set up are local defense. mine. general service. ordnance. seabees and subs marine.
