EVICTION ACTION
 OFF COURT DOCKET
Local Rent Control Office Enters Case of POIiCe-
 man ys. Fireman

An eviction action started by John Moore, local police officer, against John Maloney, local fireman, who is a tenant at 55 Laval street was withdrawn today from the muni- cipal court docket. The local rent control administrators had entered the case contesting it on the ques- tion of good faith.
 The landlord claimed he wanted theh apartment for the use of a daughter, Mrs. Catherine Puden, and said he would not take a rent fee from her. The rent office, repre- scented by Atty. Sidney Cassel, drew up papers calling attention to a dispute on rent which had occurred between the landlord and tenant and indicated that the evitcoin &C., ton resulted primarily from the dispute and not from a desire to grant use of the apartment to the daughter.
 MT. Maloney on July 2 filed a petition at the rent control office stating the landlord charged $6 rent in excess of the amount permitted under maximum rent regulations. Inspection revealed that the regis tration form filled out by the land- lord contained false information and a decrease of rent from $36 to $3O per month was ordered. The evic- tion proceedings against the ten- ant were then started by Patrol man Moore.
 The case had been scheduled for e hearing in court today.

1919 YEAR OLDS
 MAY BE DRAFTED
Army Wants Congress to Pass Legislation; Presi-
 dents o. K. Needed

Washington, Oct. 8.-(UP)-The Army is pressing Congress for inn mediate enactment of legislation to permit drafting of 18 and 19-year- olds, Congressional sources revealed today.
 The war department two weeks ago submitted its request for reduc. tion of the draft age to the budget bureau and if President Roosevelt approves despite his announcement that this action will not be neces- sary until next year, the war de- partment's request will be submit- ted formally to Congress in a few days.
 Congressional leaders were noti- fled yesterday that the administra- tion's earlier plans to defer revision of the draft law until January probably would be revised.
 The Senate was expected to begin work on the war departments bill as soon as it is received. The House probably will not take it up until af- ter the Nov. elections, since lead- CTS have notified the membership that no controversial legislation would be taken up after the poll tax repealer is disposed of next week.
 House action immediately follow ing the elections was virtually as- sured if MT. Roosevelt authorizes the war department to proceed with its request.
 The change in plans to defer re- duction of the draft age was not brought about by a shortage of men in the 20 to 45 inclusive age groups, 1t was learned. but because younger men make the best soldiers.
 The Army, through Major Gen James 4. Ulio, adjutant general oi the Army, appealed to IS and 19- year-olds last Sunday not to wait for draft law revision, but to voiun' teer now.
 To meet the Army's demand for men without dipping into estab. lished families and the le and lt year group. the selectlve service sys- tenn has been compelled to comb it' reiectlons for physical disability and to call men right ID to the q year old military ago ceiling,
 AS a result the rate of physlca disability under the strain of Army routine has been increasing.

The blast came from an accumulation of gas which was ignitod by a pilot light some time after Hoyt had turned on two gas burners in range in a kitchen whoS1 doors he had sealed.

Considerable damage also resulted to nearby properties.
 Several persons were hurled from their beds, while others were knocked down by the concussion No one aside from Hoyt, was Seri- ously injured.

GREEN IS READY TO DO BUSINESS W|THJ.L.L LEWIS Way Open for Latter to Lead His Union Back
 Into A. F. L. OFFICIALS DOUBT
 LEWIS WILL DO IT Withdrawal of United Mine Workers From CIO May
 Heal Breach
BY FRED BAILEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Toronto, October 8.-(UP) - President William Green of the American Federation of Labor is ready to "do bus mess" with John L. Lewis if he wants to lead his now in- dependent United M in e Workers of America back into the AFL. Green, who is attending the AFL's 62nd Annual Convention here, seemed eager to welcome Lewis and the miners back in the Federation. e>,
 "We will meet with anybody at any time and will do business with them," he said, after he learned that the UNIV, holding their convention in Cincinnati, had withdrawn from the Congress of Industrial Organi- Zations.
 "Now that is 8 broad statement and mean 1t to be just that"
 Other AFL officials doubted that Lewis would take the UNIV into the AFL. They regarded his withdrawal from the CIO, which he organized seven years ago, as more likely to hasten peace negotiations between the AFL and CIO.
 Green denied reports among con- vention delegates that two Lewis representatives were in Toronto to confer with him.
 Harry Bates president of the Bricklayers Masons and Plasterers, and chairman of the AFL peace negotiating committee, said he ex- pected conferences to begin with the CIO shortly after it holds its annual convention in Boston next month.
 Neither Green nor Bates were sur prised by the withdrawal of the UNIV from the CIO. Green said he had been expecting it for some time.
 Green hinted Monday in his open

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, October B. UP1 - Marshal Semyon Timo- shenko's relief columns rolled south toward Stalingrad to- day despite slashing attacks by German armored forces and dive bombers, while in side the Volga steel city the Red army beat off repeated attacks by PrusSian shock troops.
 The Soviet relief troops were re- ported hacking into the left flank of the German forces attacking Stalingrad at arS unstated point northwest of the city between the Don and Volga rviers.
 (German reports said Russian forces were attacking Nazi "boltY positions - the anchors of the Ger- man line north and south oe Stalingrad.)
 Increasingly heavy Nazi forces Of armored cars and tanks were being thrown at the scuthward moving Russian column, dispatches said, and dive bomber squadrons were carry~ ing out repeated attacks.
 Panzers Beaten Of
 The newspaper Pravda reported particularly fierce fighting for pos- session of a mill site, northwest of Stalingrad. A Nazi panzer fornaa- ton was driven of with the loss of 17 tanks.
 German tank-led attacks inside Stalingrad were reported to have been rocked back despite emplcy- ment of Prussian shock troop regi- ments. Tn one attack 45 tanks tried to break through an important street but gave up after losing 10 tanks and 300 men.
 At another point inside Stalingrad four German attacks gained a iit- tie ground but Russian counter-at- tacks won it back.
 Front-line dispatches said the Germans had not advanced 8 foot inside Stalingrad in 24 hours. So- viet communiques have not admit ted g German advance there in 7z hours.
 At the Germans backs. Marshal Semyon TimoShenko'S counter-of- fensive rolled down the steppes above Stalingrad to the belief of the. defenders, crushing Nazi strong- holds and smashing their furious counter attacks.
 The Soviet noon communique re-, ported that one of TimoShxkoA units had crashed through German positions northwest of Stalingrad, destroyed two dug-in tanks, eight guns and three machine gun nests and killed 250 Germans.

 It was the first time that Prus- sians, who arrogantly regard then~ selves as the worlds best fighters had been seen in the battle of Stalingrad, now in its 4th day.

In the subsequent controversy, President Dennis Mo- Grath and Secretary Neil Grimm of the Scovill local have criticized paid organizers sent here from interna- tional headquarters. These two and MT.
