PAGE FOUR THE DAIIA TAR HEEL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1942 louse Meet For Swift Deadline Saturday Navy Answers Japanese Action With Three Sinkings in Solomons WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (UP) Backed up by a go signal from Presi Roosevelt and the Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, Congress tonight cleared the way for swift action on legislation to draft 18 and 19 year old youths,, with prospects of the House voting on the issue before the weekend. . Plans to push a bill through the lower chamber "no later than Satur day night" were announced by Speaker Sam Rayburn only a few minutes after Stimpson told the Legislature that "never before in its history" has the nation so needed the exceptional fighting qualities found only in teen age soldiers. " - "Our own survival is in the balance," he said in a letter transmitted to the House and Senate military affairs committee exactly 13 hours after Mr. Roosevelt had stated in his "fireside chat" that the draft of 18-19 year olds was "inevitable." Rayburn told a special press conference that the House will meet at 9 o'clock today and is expected to report a bill no later than Thursday. The bill will be put on the floor Friday and the chamber will be asked to pass and forward it to the Senate Saturday night.

Only one unnamed American destroyer was lost in the action. Announcement of the smashing victory came scarcely 24 hours after belated explosions that three American cruisers had been sunk by enemy action. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (UP) The House today overrode determined Southern opposition and approved a bill outlawing poll taxes as a prerequisite to voting in Federal elections. The vote climaxed an uproarious northerners joined southerners in announcing the measure as invading State rights and therefore unconstitutional.
