HOUSE DEBATE
 ON NEUTRALITY
 OPENS TUESDAY
Administration Claims Ma jorify for Speedy
 Approval

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.--Mem- bers of the House of Representa- tives were ordered by their leaders today tc assemble in full force on Tuesday for the opening of the neu- trality debate in the lower Cham Der. Administration leaders be- lieved that the House might take final action in two days on the Ad- minisnation neutrality bill passed last night by the Senate. Oppo- nents of the measure rallied their forces to demaAd more lengthy dis cussion.
 The House passed it's own neutral ity bill early last summer. This measure was entirely rewritten be- fore it emerged from the current special session of the Senate.
 The House action technically will be an effort to compromise differ ences between the neutrality bills passed bv the two chambers.
 AdminStgati ton plans call for al- most complete acceptance of the Senates version. Leaders i'll the House agreed today that there is now a slight margin of votes in fa- vor of arms embargo repeal and the administration cash and carry neu- trality bill,

NEWS REEL RELEASES FROM FRONT, GOOD FROM GERMANY BUT ARE LOUSY FROM BRITISH
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-So far the news reel releases coming from Germany are very, very good and those coming through the British censor are very, very lousy.
 The news reel companies dis tributing them are trying to oyer- come the difficulty But in re- cent show the announcer frankly apologized because the quality Of the one so far outshone the other. He cautioned that both were cen sored and perhaps reeking With propaganda.
 The German release showing the cruiser bombarding the forts at Danzig was an epic of quality A section of the British release showed the Maginot fortresses supposedly firing on the Germans. It appeared to be an old pre-war pickup, Tor the French guns were firing blanks.
 Apparently the English people are kicking, too. Recently a new propaganda executive was put in charge. We hope we don't have to look at any more British piling up any more sandbags.

Hundreds Witness Crdzy Antics of Fighters
 Over Scotland

LONDON, Oct. 28.-Two German airmen were killed and one, the Nazi pilot. was wounded, and captured to- day in an aerial drama over Edin- burgh, Scotland.
 The drama of the skies was wit messed by hundreds when British fighter planes forced down a Ger man air raider which the Air Min istry said was making reconnais- sances east of Dalkeith
 Forced down, the plane struck on a stone wall, but even then the pilot would not give up and tried to get his machine once more into the air, running it along the rouga ground about a half mile before he had to stop.
 Earlier, the Air Ministry had an- nounced a German aircraft was forced down in Scotland by Brit ish fighting planes
 The report said the Nazi plane was attempting to reconnoiter east of Dalkeith.
 The accompanying air raid alarm lasted half an hour in the Firth of Forth area and machine gun bullets fell without warning in the streets of one town.

Months of Cold, Semi-Iso Iation May Be
 Their Fate

VANCOUVER, B. U., Oct. 28. = Months of cold and semi-isolation may be the fate of three Americans, forced down on the British Colum- bia- Yukon Territory border more than fortnight ago.
 The trio, Pilot C. O. Galbraith, formerly of Bellingham, Wash; Richard King of Seattle and Her bert Fisher of Blaine, have been unable to leave the lonely Lake Tes- lin district where the plane was wrecked landing on a flight from Bellingham to Fairbanks. Alaska.
 Reports received here said tn e three men are in good condition, probably have plenty of supplies but the only method of getting out is by air
 They have made several attempts to hike to Atlin, 75 miles, but have been forced back on account of heavy snow encountered.
 The Canadian immigration offi- cials said no funds are available for sending an airplane to bring the men out since it is not considered an emergency case and the United States Consular officials know of no plan for sending a plane, even from Juneau, Alaska.
