By DAN CAFES

Life, like poetry. can be sad in- deed, Michael Angelo Rinald. ST. 894 North Main street. discovered in city court this morning, when he was bound over to superior court on 8 charge of receiving stolen goods.
 A paint salesman by profession, but a poet by choice, Rinaldi told the court that he bought a type writer for $2O from a stranger last April to type up a memorial poem on Franklin D. Roosevelt, entitled, Our Noble President" which he sent to the late presidents widow.
 Unfortunately, the typewriter was identified by Louis Scigliano, pres ident of the Scigliano Lumber Co.,, 27 Division street, as one stolen from his office, April 10. Sgt. Charles McWeeney said he discov- cred the machine hidden in Rim aldi's paint shop while searching for counterfeit ration coupons with government agents.
 Atty. Ralph c. Coppeto declared that his client had no knowledge that the machine was stolen, and showed the court samples of MT. Rinaloi's poetry. Prosecutor Albert w. Hummel said he had no objec- ton to the poetry, but this view was not generally held by others in the courtroom who read it.
 Judge Charles R. Summa set bond at $1,0OO after the prosecutor de- clared the accused had bad rec ord.

In Coscio Case
 Ruled Out

Possible testimony by witnesses who allegedly heard Domenic Coscia express fear of Adolph Cyr was ruled out by Judge John A. Cornell in superior court today on the ground the statements of Coscia would be "self-serving declarations.
 Defense Attorney Edward Mas colo disclosed during arguments in the absence of the jury that he was ready to call nine witnesses who knew of Coscia's fear of Cyr, and when the court rued out their testl- mony the defense counsel. in taking an exception, gave brief summary for the court record of the testi- mony they would have given.
 Coecia. who is on trial for his life in first degree murder charge for the staying last Sept. 28 of Cyr, took the witness stand again today for the conclusion of cross-exam1na- tion, for redirect examination and re-croSs- s-examination.
 In his statement for the court record, Mascolo declared If this statement were admitted I would have about nine witnesses who would testify that this accused in his effort to get away from im- pjlending danger had expressed fear, and had tried to find a rent elsewhere, and had gone so war as to to get a rent in New York, and hetdid this all because of fear he had for Cyr.'
 The matter of the nine witnesses was brought up when Mascolo, dur ing redirect examination asked Coscia if he ever had told anyone he feared Cyr Coscia replied in the affirmative, following instruc- tions from the court that the ans wer must be yes or no.
 Jury Excused
 Then Mascolo asked Coscia if he told of his fear to people other than his nephew. States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald objected to that question, and it was then that the court excused the jury, and the arguments were presented on ad- mission of an answer.
 Cancelling of possible testimony by the nine witnesses is expected to shorten considerably the defense case.
 At the start of today's sesion, Fitzgerald continued to question

 But even as the bloody campaign was nearing a triumphant end. American forces were preparing for the next arphibious leap toward l Japan.

3 More Jap  Cities Hit
BY EDWARD L. THOMAS

Guam, June 70 (UP) Three more Japanese industrial cities were believed knocked out as mili- tary targets today after a triple strike by more than 450 superfort- resses.
 Fires still blazed in Shizuoka and Toyohashi on Honshu and Fukuoka on Kyushu more than 12 hours after the pre- dawn fire raids.
 Strong winds famed the flames, visible 75 miles or more at sea. Hundreds of backyard and cellar Shadow" factories and a number of larger of war plants were restroy- ed.
 More than 5000 tons of fire bombs were dropped on the three cities, bringing to at least 20,500 tons the weight of bombs cascaded on Japan in this months oblitera- tion raids.
 Returning crewmen told these stories of destruction:
 Shizuoka, 95 miles southwest of Tokyo-fires and explosions blank eted areas two to three blocks wide and four blocks long in the center of the city.
 Toyohashi, 189 miles southwest of Tokyo-the heart of the city was left a solid mass of fire that sent smoke 14,000 feet into the sky. Ex- plosions could be seen 60 miles away.
 F'ukuoka, on northwest Kyushu- a path of fire two miles wide spread 10 miles inland through the city, stretching from the dock area di- rectly across the industrial sector Smoke climbed 10000 feet over the target area. One report described the city as solid conflagration vis- ible for 75 miles. Several ships were afire in the harbor.
 The huge bombers fought through heavy rains and rough weather to reach Japan, then split into three formations of 150 each for the indi- vidual attacks. The weather was clear over the targets.
 Anti-aircraft fire was light and fighter opposition ineffective. Pilots said strong updrafts from the fires shot their planes 1000 feet higher over the target areas.
 Tokyo admitted that fires were started in the three cities and said the B-29s also dropped mines off

Conference 9 Weeks Old
By R. H. SHACKFORD

San Francisco, June 20-(UP)- Australian Foreign Minister Her bert V. Evatt stood firmly today against Russian demands to narrow the discussion powers of the pro- posed general assembly-the last issue obstructing adjournment of the United Nations Conference on Saturday.
 The Big Five may persuade Ev- att to change his mind before nightfall and accept the Russian counterproposal, which arrived only last night. If they fail, another proposal may have to be referred back to Moscow. That would cer- tainly push conference adjourn ment into next week.
 The Australian and Russian posi- tions were said to be very close to- gether and officials were hopeful that the final session would not have to be postponed beyond Sat- urday.. Today marks the start of the ninth week of the conference and President Truman is waiting in Olympia, Wash, to come here for the final session. If necessary, he will wait there until Monday or Tuesday of next week.
 The Big Five arranged an early meeting today-their fourth within "A hours-to continue to search for reconciliation of the Russian and Australian views on matters which the general assembly can discuss. The United States and Great Brit ain are playing mediator roles, see- ing little if any substantive differ ence between the two positions. Language seems to be the major barrier to agreement-the same bugaboo that has begged down this conference many times before.

 The Japanese broadcast said that four mine sweepers began their work yesterday, a necessary prelim- mary to any invasion of the rich oil area on Borneo's east coast.
 Tokyo claimed that shore batter ies sankone of the sweepers and the other three withdrew.
 GA Domei dispatch said that the sweeper sank after it struck nine.)
 Previous Japanese broadcasts have reported the bombardment of Balik- papan by an Allied fleet, said to include an aircraft carrier, three battleships, 16 destroyers and other warships.
 Communiques from Gen. DouGAno MacArthur's headquarters have - confirmed the naval bombardments, but have reported daily air attacks on gun positions and airfields in the Balikapapan area-also pre- invasion pattern of assault.
 Today's communique reported that heavy bombers dumped 200 tons of explosives on Balikpapan and the ship-building center of Samardina to the north.
 On Borneo's northwest coast, the Australians made more progress in all directions, their advances ap- parently slowed only by the thick jungle country. The force which landed at Weston, on the east

Mai Gen. Asansiev, chief prose- cutor, said in summing up the Red Armys case against the Poles that he would insist that they be in- prisoned but would not demand the extreme penalty.
 An earlier Moscow dispatch said f appeared that several of the Poles would be acquitted or at most get light prison sentences.
 Word that the death sentence ap- parently had been excluded came at the outset of the third day of the trial. The testimony was complet- ed and final pleadings were under way.
 Radio Moscow said judicial in- quiry into the charges was com- pleted this morning and Maj. Gen. Asansiev, Soviet military prosecu- tor, opened his plea for conviction.

 Fifteen of the Is defendants al- ready have pleaded guilty to some or all of the charges. But the prosecution has not indicated the severity of the sentences to be asked.
 The crimes carry possible sen- tence of death.
 The Moscow broadcast said three witnesses summoned at request of the chief defendant, Gen. Leopold OkUlicki, commander of the out lawed Polish home army, would not be able to appear today or tomor- row.
