By JAMES SHEPLEY United Press Staff COrespOndent)

NOAAASO ACSS OS0A SVACSpVHuCAtJ
 Washington, Oct. 17-CUP)-The house votes today on legislation authorizating the drafting of IS and 19 years old youths.
 Meeting an hour earlier than usual, it took up the bill under a partial "gag-rule' which limited debate to two hours but which per- mits amendment from the floor.
 The procedure was adopted by the rules committee shortly after the senate military affairs committee unanimously approved smiilar legis- lation to be formally reported to the upper chamber Monday, with debate probably beginning Tuesday.
 It thus appeared that the ap- proved bill would reach the White House the, end of next week-some 10 days after MT. Roosevelt asked for it as 8 vital need of the war effort.
 For the present,the new man. power tapped under the legislation vii go entirely to the army. Navy Secretary Frank Knox told a press conference yesterday that the navy would continue using only volun- teerS but would turn to se1ective service if the voluntary system fails to keep pace.

MUSSOLINI TO LOSE CONTROL
Hitler Plans to Seize DOfn- inatiOr of All Italian
 Areas
BY DANA ADAMS SCHMIDT United Press Staff Correspondent


 Istanbul, Oct. 15-UP)-Oelay- ed)-High diplomatic quarters re- ceived reports today indicating that Adolf Hitler intended to seize effective control or actual com- mand of the entire Mediterranean, north African and Balkan areas from Benito Musolini during the winter.
 They said Hitler apparently was exasperated by Italian bungling on all fronts and the steady decline of Italy's morale, and that he had de- termined to put an end to constant wrangling with Mussolini over the deflated duce's jealously nursed prerogatives.
 The reports said also that the reason a scheduled conference be- tween Hitler and Mussolini was not held last month was that Mus solini had heard of Hitler's plans to extend his domination, and that Galeazzo Ciano, Mussolini's son-in- law and foreign minister, also can- celed a visit to Berlin.
 According to diplomatic informa- tion, Hitler intends to take as his first step ore most painful to Italy, seizure of control of Trieste and Plume on the Adriatic and the corridor leading to them from Aus tria through Italy.
 Informants suggested that Hitler would establish a naval head quarters at Trieste and, with a German naval headquarters al- ready existing in Bulgaria, control naval operations in the Aegean, Adritaic an dBlack Seas and super wise all convoy operations to North Africa.
 Secondly, it was asserted, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel made his recent visit to Germany partly to insist that he have unquestioned control over all Italian generals in North Africa henceforth, and the probability was that he would get what he wanted.
 Diplomatic quarters said that thirdly Hitler would soon explode the fiction that the Croat part of JugoSlavia is an Italian sphere and the resident German commander. Gen. Won Gleist Horstenau, would assume full control.
 This decision, informants said, and Hitler's insistence that more

 Washington, October IT,
 (UP) = The critical battle for the strategic area around Guadalcanal Island in the southern Solomons ragged on today with the Japanese throwing great land, sea, and air forces into their determ- ined campaign to drive out American Marines and sOl- diers.. The Navy Department had been silent since yesterday and there was no word on how the fighting was going in what was evidently the greatest battle to date in the Southern Pacific. To date. Navy Department communiques have revealed several landings of Japanese troops on Guadalcalasl. the latese, reported yesterday, along with Artillery, and the presence of huge enemy fleet, including bat- tleships.
 But the communiques have had very little to say about the activi- ties of American ships. The only American naval vessels acknowl~ edged by the departmnt to be par- ticipating in the battle were the lit tie PIT torpedo boats which took such a conspicuous part in he de- fapara nF +I,a nl.S1;,av.iyaaC NTo%x.;,4F, \ {. all has been said of the Marines, re- gently reinforced with Army units. Very little has been reported of the activity of American war planes operating from the air base on Guadalcanal which the Japanese built before they were busted in August.
 No Information Given
 But it was pointed out that the Navy would hardly report on these matters during the progress of al continuing battle lest it provide the enemy with information he couldn't get otherwise There was reason to believe that the Americans retained control of the air-from Australian and New HebrideS bases if not from Guadalcanal and aircraft carriers and without control of the air, the enemy'S sources of information as to the dispositions of American forces would be faulty.
 The great scope of the battle was again emphasized by today's com- munique from Gen. MacArthur's headquarters revealing that long range American bombers, evidently supporting the American forces in the southern Solomons. had blasted a Japanese transport in the northern SolomonS. Yesterday, he reported that American planes had heavily damaged Japanese light cruiser. It was recalled that in the battle nf the Coral sea, his bombers gavW strong support to American naval forces.
 More revelatory information came in dispatch filed by United Press War Correspondent William Tyree from ''an advanced United States air base in the South Pacific" on Oct. 2, before the current battle started. He revaled that more Mar ines had been landed on GuadaI- canal, which together with Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson's an- nouncement that regular Army units had been landed, indicated the ex- tent to which the Americans ha6 been prepared for the Japanss as- sault.

 FOURTH RETREAT
Germans Sacrifice Two Lives Per Minute in COst=
 ly Assault at Stalingrad
By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan COrreSp0ndent)
 Moscow, Oct. 17-(UP)-The Red army made its fourth retreat within 48 hours in northwest Stalingrad today, but the Germans were pay ing at the rate of almost two lives a minute.
 Dispatches from the front em- phasized that Russian withdrawals were orderly and comparatively short, and that at no point had the Germans attained their objective break through to the Volga river.
 Six thousand Germans were killed on one narrow area in 50 hours a rate of almost two minute. At least 151 tanks have been officially reported knocked out, including 27 listed in the noon communique.
 Tn the Stalingrad area, Soviet troops repulsed repeated enemy att tacks,'' the noon communique said
 German infantry supported by 40 tanks attacked a Soviet unit de- lending one street in Stalingrad Twenty three tanks were destroyed and $50 of the enemy killed. On an- other sector, a Soviet unit retreated to new defensive positions. Guards and mortarmen burned four Ger man tanks and 20 trucks and wiped out three companies (600) men of infantry"
 The new retreat was not in the workers settlement of an industrial area from which the Russians withdrew yesterday, after 25 brutal attacks.
 On the sector that formerly en- compassed the settlement, the Rus sians repulsed attempts to outfank them north and south, dispatches said. and compelled the badly mauled Germans to regroup. On other sectors, however, the enemy's thrusts were unslackening and the

Because of the great task in front of the workers, return trips to col- lect scrap placed on the streets late are being avoided by the truckers. J. Warren Upson, head of the sal- wage committee, announced last night that some of the collections might be delayed until next week because of a shortage of volunteers to load the trucks. He appealed for more workers even if they could not work the whole day. Anyone who could not work this morning is asked to report to Freight and Mea- dow streets at noon. They will be taken to g. truck from there to help in the enormous task of loading the metal. Some women and older children have already reported for duty, but many men are needed to aid with the heavy metal.
 Members of the Allied Industry committee worked last night to di- vide the city into 60 routes for the collection trucks. One truck has been assigned to each route, while 35 additional trucks will collect the metal already piled in depots throughout the city. Additional trucks that were offered for service this morning will be sent to aid in cleaning up bottlenecks which might be formed in places that very large scrap heaps have been placed,
 The local salvage committee sur prised the first 200 volunteers to show up at Freight and Meadow streets this morning to aid in the collection by distributing working
