WASHINGTON -lSNs)- Fiji
clustering Southern senators Mon

OF the Senate, defeating a drive
FOR consideration of the anti-poll
tax measure.
The Senate was begged in con-
sideration of bills on the routine
calendar by Senators Connally.
Billbo and Russell, Democrats of
Texas, Mississippi and Georgia,
respectively. The three had promis-
ed long day of time-consuming
quorum calls, three of which were
demanded in the first half hour.
After routine introduction of
bills atnoon, Senate Democratic
Leader Barley, of Kentucky, ask
ed unanimous consent to dispense
with calling the calendar of all
pending bills.
Connally objected. Barley then
asked that since the 10 bills on
the calendar-67 of which precede
the poll tax bill in priority-had to
be called, consideration begin
where the Senate left off on it's
last call of the calendar, October
l. Bilbo objected to that.
Russell then demanded the
days second quorum call, the first
having come at the opening of the
session. When that was completed.
the first item on the calendar

change in Senate rules-was pass
ed over, and Russell again de-
manded another quorum call.

each time the Senate transacted
business by approving or passing
over a bill, Russell or some other
member of the poll tax bill oppo-

parliamentary privilege of counting
noses to see whether a quorum was

He pointed out that there might

their houses said they could see
sheets of flame streaming from
the building and some heard the
terrified cries of those inside.
Some who escaped from the
hostel said the fire began in the
auditorium and dance hall while
others asserted an explosion
seeemd to come from the kitch-
en- and then the whole building
was engulfed by flames.
From Boston, word came that
Mayor Tobin had offered assist
ance to sorely-tried medical ia
cilities at st. Johns. He offered
to rush supplies of blood plasma
by plane to treat the badly-in-
jured and also offered the serv-
ices of DR.. Charles c. Lund, Bos-
ton city hospital expert on burns
who treated victims of the night
club fire.
No inflammable paper decora-
tons were used ordinarily in the
hostel but it was not known def
initely whether special Christ
mas streamers may have been
strung in the auditorium and
dance hall for Saturdays dance.
Besides being a recreation
center, the hostel had roomy
dormitories upstairs for the
homeless service men. Twisted,
blackened and covered with ice,
the iron beds that stood there
were the only concrete proofs
today that a hostel once stood on
the charred ground.

Army flying fortresses again
attacked them on December ~,
when 155 bombs, weighing loo
pounds each, were dropped on
the airfield. Again on December
IL the fortresses returned to the
attack, scoring four 1000 pound
bomb hits on the flight strip and
dropping 80 100-pound bombs
in the base area.
No American planes were lost
in those attacks and there was
no mention of any interception
on the part of the japanese zero
fighters, facts which led to the
speculation here that the Japs
apparently have not put the field
into full operation and that the
Pacific command had chosen for
its destruction the moment at
which the enemy had expended
a maximum of effort in creating
it without being able to give 1t
