Wil- liam J. I,arlSin, Jr., asked the court for Q continuance to Tuesday. It was reported from reliable sources that the prosecutor was investigate ing alleged discrepancies between testimony given against Salinardi this week and that offered when he was tried in city court on the same counts last April. MT. Lar- kin declined to comment, saying he would make his statement to the court Tuesday morning.
 After salinardi was found guilty late yesterday afternoon, Prosecu- tor Larkin asked the court to defer sentence till today because of in- formation received since the case went to the jury". Mir. Larl4in made no statement i1 asking the contir1u- ance today.
 Confers With summa
 Before and after court convened this morning, MT. Larkin conferred with Attorney Charles Sumrna, who acted as prosecutor when Salinar- di was tried in city court, with At- torney George Lynch and other lawyers. A noteworthy fact is that the attorneys who conferred with Mir. Larkin were all in city court when the case was originally tried. At that time Salinardi was sen- terced to nine months in jail by Judge John r. McOrath. He en- tered an appeal to the court of common pleas, and 1t was the ap. peal case which was tried before Judge Finn and a jury this week.
 The lawyers who spoke privately with Mir. Larkin likewise declined to make any statement. It was significant however, that all were in city court on the morning that Gaiinardi was originally tried. There is no stenographic record of the testimony at the city court trial.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Shanghai, oct. 22-(UP) Chinese soldiers attacking in face of tor rife fire from Japanese machine guns, threw the Japanese back from two important sectors of the Shanghai front today, according to Chinese reports from field head. quarters. It was asserted that the Chinese recaptured the famous Black Prince Temple near WooSung creek which the Japanese Stormed several days ago, and defeated the Japanese in the TaSang area north of Shanghai. Chinese and Japa- nese alike said that the fighting was increasing In intensity with every hour and was on e bigger scale than at any time since the battle for Shanghai started August lS. Losses on both sides have been staggering, apparently. for reports speak of hand to hand fighting In every active sector.
 Blasting Each Other
 Chinese and Japanese airplaneS and artillery were blasting each other mercileSsly day and night. It seemed that Rt last the final battle for Shanghai was in fullest fury and that. except for periods ot absolute exhaustion, 1t must con- tlnue to the end. The Japanese were trying to develop their "big push. But every time, the Chinese picked the weakest points m their lines and launched counter-attacks In such great force as to Do small offenslveS themselves. The Chinese reported that the Japanese, realiE- Ing the tack that faced them, were landing 10000 men who apparently had arrived from Japan.
 Japs Make Little Progress
 It was evident as the day drew to It's close, that the Japanese had made little effective progress and the Chinese asserted that some Jap" aY,ese in the TaEang sector were if danger of Isolation. There was little news from the north. A Japanese spokesman, discussing reports of pig chinese victories in shanSi Province, said: "rhey are the result or Q fertile imagination"
