A spectacular fire that sent up billowing clouds of smoke that could be seen from many parts of the city to- day virtually gutted a six family tenement house at 22-24 Pemberton street, dam aged several other buildings and threatened the whole densely populated area along Baldwin and Pemberton streets. Four separate calls for fire apparatus were sent in.
 The blaze was brought under control only after 3 stubborn fight in which firemen had to utilize aerial ladders, mounted trucks and a dozen wooden ladders. The amount of the damage was not esti- mated at press hour but Fire Mar shai Dennis J. Lahey said 1t would be heavy.

 London, Oct. 19.-(UP)-Royal Air Force fliers who dropped nearly TOO tons of bombs in seven minutes dur ing Saturdays daylight raid by 94 Lancaster bombers on the Schneider Armament Works at Lecruesot, France, challenged American flying fortress crews today to match their feat.
 The raid on the huge armament works, which ranks with the Skoda plant near Pilsen and the Krupp Works at Essen, marked the entry of the RAF into mass scale daylight raids. Previously Allied bombing ef- forts had been divided into precision daylight attacks by American Air force planes and night saturation attacks by the RAF.

 London, Oct. 19. (UP)-Vichy Chief of State Pierre Laval was re- ported to have called in the dread NaN Gestapo in his frenzied efforts to force French workers to take jobs in German war factories.
 There were reports in fighting French circles here that Adolf Hit Ter was displeased with Laval's serv- ices to the Axis cause and would soon call him to account for in- creasing anti-Nazi sentiment in France. It was believed that Laval might be dismissed.
 The British Broadcasting Com pany said the Vichy government had conferred French citizenship upon 800 GeStapo agents to give them full right to attend" to re- calcitrant French workers in un- occupied France. Laval had prom ised to send 1500 skilled workers to Germany: So far he has succeeded in obtaining fewer than 25,000.
 Reports which first appeared irl Ankara diplomatic circles that Hit Ter was peeved with Benito Musso- lini were receiving currency here with the additional detail that aft CT a tour of several Italian cities Gestapo Chief Heinrich had sub mitted a report of growing anti German sentiment to Hitler anC that, as the result, Hitler would confer with Mussolini soon. in tht Brenner Pass.

Draft Bill For IS To 19 Youths By End of Week
Members 'Of Congress Expect to Wipe Away All Ob- iections; May Send Bill to White House
 Before Week Closes
BY SPENCER KLAW United Press Stan COrrespOndentl

(Omte0 KrcSS StAH OVEEeoPUhuenV
 Washington, oct. 19 - (UP) IT Senate leaders today promised early action on the bill to draft IS and 1e-year-olds and may bring it up for debate tomorrow in an effort to get 1t to President Roosevelt for his signature by the end of the week.
 The House voted overwhelmingly, 345 to 16. last Saturday to lower the draft age of IS. That was only five days after the president had ap- pealed for authority to draw on youth to give punch to an Army whose average age has been in creasing too fast.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky said he would ask the Senate to act lat the earliest possible opportunity He said he had reached no agreement with Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon on a time for the opening Senate debate, but that he did not want to put 1t of until the end of the week."
 McNary has urged that consider ation be postponed for several days so he can round up Senators who left Washington after passage of the record. breaking tax bill 10 days ago on the understanding that no controversial legislation would be brought up for two weeks.
 The Senate military affairs com- mittee today files its formal report on the draft bill which it unani- mously approved last Friday. Its version, which conforms more closely to Army and selective Serv- ice recommendations than the House version, merely lowers the minimum draft age from 20 to la and provides special temporary de- ferments for high school students called up during the second hah of the current academic year. The House bill extends that deferment clause to college as well as high school students.

JAPAN TO KILL
 HER PRISONERS
Severe Punishment of U. s. Flyers Shot Down in
 Japan Territory
BY UNITED PRESS

Japan extended Axis cruelty to war prisoners today by threatening severe punishment" for American aviators shot down while bombing Japanese controlled territory. It was implied that the punishment" would be death.
 The hysterical announcement of the Tokyo radio, which was repeat ed by the Berlin radio, seemed to reflect the increasingly heavy pounding Japanese ships and ground forces are taking in the Aleutians and the Solomons from American planes. It also seemed to reflect a fear that the April IS raid on Tokyo and other Japanese cities led by Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle would soon be repeated.
 The shooting or "punishing" of war prisoners is prohibited by the Geneva and other treaties on the treatment of prisoners and is a practice in which civilized nations have not engaged in centuries. Japan was not & subscriber to the Geneva treaty but announced soon after its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor that it would abide by its provisions.

Heavily-ReinfOrced Japs on GuadaIcanaI Ready

 Washington, Oct. 19. (UP)-The zero hour was at hand in the Solomon Islands today. American marines, soldiers and sailors were braced to meet a strong as- sault" by heavily-reinforc Japanese troops on Guadal- canal Island. American air. men were "dishing it out" They and anti-aircraft gunners bagged IT more planes with the loss of only one of their own. But the navy made no attempt to hide the fact that the Americans position ts critical and that "in a batle of this nature losses must be expected.
 The battle was for the airfield on Guadalcanal--a clearing ch0ppS a out of the dense Jungle by the Jap anese and captured by U. s. marines early in August before the enemy had chance to use it.
 The battle-ground was g 25 mile stretch of ant-infested beach be- tween Cape Esperance at the north western tip of Guadalcanal and Tenaru, near the middle of the north shore.
 The area is narrow, the mountains and jungle extending close to the shore. Because of that and the fact that both sides had given clear indication of willingness to pay al- most any price for control of the airfield, losses on both sides probably will be heavy.
 The Japanese the offensive on the third time, to retake. the air- field, continued "sofenting up" op- erations over the weekend as pre- Jude to a grand assault. They were using large-scale bomber attacks Saturday (Sclomons time), the last day reported.
 Defenders Are Aided
 The defenders were being aided by heavy army bombers under coEn- mand of General Dougles MacAr- thur which blasted the major Jap- aneSe advance air-naval base ae Buin, 300 miles from Guadalcanal. in four raids and with 9 tons Of bombs including many thousand- pounders. Bombs dropped among destroyers, cruisers and transports and were believed to have scored di- rect hits on three cruisers.
 The efforts to bomb the airfield on Guadalcanal ended diSaStro1giy for the Japanese. The seventeen bombers and fighters shot down by Americans brought total enemy plane losses for the Solomons battle to more than 300.
 The attacks on the airfield cane Saturday morning and afternoon. Fourteen bombers escorted by eigflt fighters attacked in the early morK1~ ing. American fighters and anti-cir- craft batteries destroyed all of the bombers and two of the fighters.
 In the early afternoon, IS bonlb- CTS and a number of fighters tried again. One enemy bomber was pro;3- ably destroyed.
