MascoIo To Remain
 As Coscid;S Counsel

Attorney Edward Mascolo today dropped his motion to withdraw as counsel for the defense in the Domenic Coscia murder trial, and informed Judge John A. Cornell he will be prepared for the trial, scheduled for next Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock
 The unexpected move was made shortly before noon when Attorney Francis Feeley, assistant defense counsel, appeared before Judge Cornell and stated that the motion to withdraw from the case, present. ed yesterday afternoon, will not be pressed further.
 Announcement of the lawyers decision came while the court was awaiting the arrival of Dr. Edward Kirschbaum, who was scheduled to give medical testimony on Attorney Mascolo's health.
 The barriSter claimed yesterday that his health would be further impaired if he had to continue as counsel while Judge Cornell pre- sided, and agreed to produce medi- cal evidence this morning. The mo- tion to drop out of the case was made immediately after the judge yesterday afternoon refused to dis qualify himself from presiding at the jury trial.
 The entire panel of ITS jurors will appear on the opening day of trial it was disclosed following the hearing. Originally it had been planned to summon only 35 each day to save expense for the state.

British Sink Jop Gun Ship

London, May 18.-(UP)-Brltlsh Warships, penetrating the Malacca Strait northwest of Singapore for the first time in three years, sank a Japanese eight-inch gun cruiser of 10000 tons Wednesday, the ad- miralty announced today.
 The cruiser was attacked first by carrier aircraft and finally by de- stroyers, 50 miles west southwest of Penang Island off the Malayan Peninsula. A British destroyer sui fered a small number of casualties in the engagement.
 Japan has four 10,000-ton Natl clas scruisers, the Nati, Myoko, Asi- gara, and Haguro. They carry a complement of 692 officers and men.
 The communique said the Japan csc cruiser first was sighted in the North Malacca Strait, by Avengef aircraft from the escort carried, H. M. S., Shah. The planes scored one probable hit and a near miss en the ship, which was accompanied v a destroyer.
 A force of British destroyerS commanded by Capt. M. L. Power in Y M. S. Saumarez speeded to in- tercept the cruiser and made con- tact that night. Torpedo attacks were made and shortly after mid night the Japanese cruiser was seen to sink.

 Here Costly

The taxpayers of the city have been burdened with an additional total expense of S3,435.27 for repairs to school-windoW panes broken as result of the vandalistic actions of children. Such actions last year cost the city S2, 2,43527, and this year, to date, $1,000. Thus the taxpayers are paying more to repair windows Of local schools. than paid for the services of grammar school teacher whose annual salary ap- proximates s2,200.
 This is obviously deplorable
 situation. Not only because of the
 cost but obviously because it is
 indicative of lack of respOnsi-
 bility on the part of these chil-
 dren. Only their parent can cap
 ably cope with the problem.
