Hartford, Conn, June 12.-(UP)- Six state commissionerships, which the General Assembly refused to ratify before adjourning last week, were filled today by Gov. Baldwin by interim appointments.
 He reappointed until next session of the legislature, Public Utilities Commissioner Joseph P. O'Connell, Bristol; Tax Commissioner Walter w. Walsh, New Haven, and Milk Ad- ministrator Donald O. Hammerberg, Mansfield, all Democrats.

 With the exception of O'Connell, all will serve until the sixth We'd nesday of the 1947 session. O'Connell serves until the rising of the next Legislative session.

Italian Steno Joins
 Coscia Defense Staff

An Italian stenographer from New York. city joined the defense staff in superior court today as trial proceeded before Judge John A. Cor nell and jury on the first degree murder charge against Dmenic Cos cia, accused slayer of Adolph Cyr. Indications were that word by word testimony on Italian words spoken by Coscia following the slay- ing may be sought by the defense from the individual witnesses, and in such an event the testimony may take a considerable amount of time.
 The stenographer, Mrs. Adrlane Caimi, an announcer on a New York radio station which broadcasts in Italian, was retained by Defense Atty. Edward Mascolo, and today took notes in shorthand on all Italian words quoted from the wit ness stand.
 Featured at the morning session was testimony by a ballstics expert, called by the state.
 First use of the Italian stenogra- pher was made when Victor Nam bruno, American Brass company eEn- ploye, was called as states wit ness. Mambruno testified he gave Coscia a ride to the police station on the morning of the staying last September 28, and related the con- versation between him and Coscia.
 Asked for Exact Words
 Mambruno was asked by Defense Atty. Edward MaScolo to give the exact words spoken by Coscia In Italian as well as his own transla- ton of them. Miss Florence EccleS, regular court stenographer, took the Italian words letter by letetr, as spelled by the defense attorney while Mrs. Caimi took them III Italian in shorthand.
 Mambruno, who picked Coscla up on Bank street near the traffic light at Meadow street and drove him to police headquarters, quoted Coscia as saying, T am in trouble.

30 Hurt In Syria Fiqht

Beyrouth. June 12-CUP)-Fight- ing again broke out in Syria yes terday when 30 were wounded in clash between Syrians and native troops under the French, dispatches from Damascus said today.
 The brief battle occurredm at Jisr Elchagour, halfway between L'Atta- quie and Aleppo. Two British tanks intervened and restored order, the dispatches said.
 Meanwhile the LebaneSe govern ment studied proposals which would impose special conditions on the acquisition of land in Lebanon by French Nationals.
 Ine Eebanese delegation returned from the Arab League Conference in Cairo today.
 Not all the decisions taken at the Arab League Conference Ill Cairo regarding the Levant crisis will be made public, diplomatic sources said today.
 Why should we let the French know what we plan to do?" was the way one source put it.
 The Syrian delegation was expect ed to return from Cairo tomorrow to report to the governments on the decisions taken by the Arab League. The Levantine governments hoped action would be taken which would hasten the evacuation of all French men from Lebanon and Syria. French families who left Syria af- ter the fighting there had arrived in Lebanon, and their presence pro- voked minor incidents in various parts of the country.

AUSTRALIANS MEET LITTLE
 OPPOSITION
BY DON CASWELL

Manila, June 12.-(UP)- Australian troops drove down the Brooketon-Brunei road today against little op- position and were within II miles or less of Brunei town, capital of the tiny sultanate on rich Borneo.
 Fast progress also was re- ported on Labuan and Muara Islands, first objectives in the Borneo invasion launched Sunday morning and led by Ge n. Douglas Macarthur himself.
 The Australians already had a base for covering planes on Labuan, where they took the airfield in the first few hours of the invasion. That was one of the few points where any stiff fighting was re- ported. Ninth Division troops moved rapidly inland after taking Victoria town and at last reports from the front had gone 4,0OO yards inland.
 Tiny Island Cleared
 Muara, tiny island in Brunei Bay just of Brooketon, probably was entirely in Australian hands by now TWo-thirds of Muara were cleared in the early stages of the landing, and no opposition was reported.
 Brunei Bay was denied to the Japanese by the landings on La buan, Muara, and Cape Polompong on the mainland, which put the Australians in position to sweep the mouth of the bay with their guns.
 The opening stages of the inva- sion to win back Borneo, rich in rubber, oil and other precious war resources, were surprisingly easy. The Japanese offered no opposition on the beaches after the powerful pounding by the American and Australian navies and airforces which preceded the landings. Troops from the Ninth Division desert rat veterans of Tobruk and other bruising battles with the Ger manSmade their first landing or the mainland on the beaches O Cape Palompong, jutting int Brunei Bay.
 Quickly they drove 1900 yards across the cape and set up head quarters in the evacuated town ot Brooketon. The Japanese had blown up everything of value in Brooke ton before fleeing inland. United Press Correspondent Richard Har- ris reported from Borneo that the town was a ShambleS. Another force, which landed on Brunei bluff overlooking the bay joined with the troops which took Brooketon for the drive inland.
 Harris reported that Victoria Town, on Labuan, also was ruined and deserted after the preliminary bombardment. A few Chinese fam flies who had survived the ordeal crawled out to greet the Australians
 A new invasion trick was tried by the Australians who floated How l

Cherokee Chief
 Probed By Cops

New York, June 12-(UP)-A self styled Cherokee Indian chief and 2 nightclub baritone, whose tales of marriage and money have compli- cated the investigation of the mys- terious staying of Albert E. Lang ford, 63, were questioned lengthy by police today.
 The chief, Robert Redwing, was questioned for more than 10 hours and was held through the night by police, indicating they hoped he might shed light on the murder of the textile executive.
 Reid Lawton. singer protege of Langford's wealthy widow, also was questioned intensively. Lawton drew Redwing into the investigation last week when he told police that the Indian and an unidentified Austrian baroness had arranged the marriage of MT. and FMS. Langford three years ago for a $25,000 fee.

International Affairs
 Report Due Ton1orrow
Braunschweig.
By HERMAN SMITH

Washington, June 12 - U.PD - President Truman vii make state ment on international affairs to- morrow after he has received a re- port from Harry L. Hopkins on his recent conferences with Premier Josef Stalin, the White House said today.
 Hopkins, due here by plane at 2:19 p. m, EWT., has completed a three-week mission to Moscow which is conceded to have improved U. S.-Russian relations to a marked degree.
 White. House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said the President would have nothing to say until he has talked with Hopkins. But MT. Truman has scheduled a news con- ference for 10:30 a. m. tomorrow, and certainly will have something to say about the whole situation" |" then, Ross said.
 The President has not yet discuss ed publicly the recently-concluded mission of Joseph E. Davies to Lon don, a mission that was companion to that undertaken by Hopkins. Da- vies talked with Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
 Hopkins is expected to report im- mediately to MT. Truman on his conversations with Stalin during which groundwork was laid for a forthcoming big three meeting.
 On May B when President Tru- man dispatched the ill, Swear old confidant of the late President Roosevelt to the Russian capital, signs were not good for close post war cooperation between the Anglo Americans and their big eastern al- ly.
 Sharp, outspoken differences over the government of Poland together with less -publicized but possibly more critical divergences over Big Four control of Germany and Big Three rule of Austria had cast sha- dows over the San Francisco con- ference. There small nations had been told that the success of secur- ity plans depended on big power mity.
 MT. Truman's choice of Hopkins to go to Russia indicated how i'm portant the President considered maintenance of good relations with this country'S big eastern neighbor
 Many of Hopkins friends thought him too ill to make the trip. How ever, he had been in close touch

Bean Shortage In Hub Denied

Boston June 12-(UP)-Boston home of the bean and the Cod, still has beans.
 Spokesmen for two large food firms today denied a published re- port that there are no baked beans in Boston. Supplies are short, they agreed, but both baked and dried beans still may be procured.
 An official of Friend Brothers Inc, predicted that bean supplies, which are running about 50 per cent of the 1941 allotment, will be increased by at least 15 per cent next year.
 He credited the WIPE tin release with brightening prospects in the baked bean picture. The govern ment set-aside on dried beans has shortened supplies of that commoli- ty, he added.
 An A & P Food st ores spokesman said that his firm had a limited quantity of baked beans which was not nearly enough" for their trade However, he said, the baked bear shortage started about two years ago, and customers have been get. ting accustomed to it.

Bundists Acquitted
Rv BANNING E. WHITTINGTON

Washington, June 12 - CU.Po- Leaders of organized labor today hailed the latest supreme court la bor ruling as victory over state ef- forts to regulate union activities.
 In its busiest day of the present term the court yesterday outlawed a Florida Statute requiring labor unions and their agents to register and be licensed with the state.
 In another important decision the high court directed the acquittal o1 "A former German American Bund- ists convicted in New York of ad- vising bund members to evade the draft law.
 The court delivered formal deci- sions covering IT cases and an- nounced that it will meet again next Monady, three weeks past the date originally set for its summed adjournment.
 Fifteen cases on the docket are still barring adjournment. They in- clude the governments antitrust suit against the Associated Press and the fight of Harry Bridges, west coast labor leader, to escape deport- ation to his native Australia.
 Justice Hugo L. Black, writing a T to decision, held the Florida labor law invalid on the grounds that 1t conflicted with collective bar gaining freedoms granted employees in the National Labor Relations Act.
 The tribunal refused, however, to rule on the constitutionality of an Alabama law regulating unions be- cause a dispute had never actually arisen over the laws operation.

Yonk Planes Blast Japan
 Again Today
BY WILLIAM F. THREE

Guam, June 12-UP)-Amerlcan planes ranging from fighters to sup erfortresses attacked southern Jap an today, putting the air assault against the enemy homeland on a virtual around -the-clock schedule.
 The new raids were reported by radio Tokyo after the Fist bomber command announced that B-29s alone have burned out 103.23 square miles of eight of Japan's largest in- dustrial cities since last November.
 Tokyo said two B-24 Liberators, teammates of the flying fortresses in the aerial devastation of Europe, flew over southern Japan for the first time They were sighted over eastern Kyushu, but apparently dropped no bombs.
 About 40 Thunderbolts and other American fighters, like the Libera- tors presumably based on Okinawa, attacked airfields near the Kanoya naval base and elsewhere in south ern and eastern Kyushu, radio Tok- 70 said.

Early Veto Vote Asked
Rv R. IT. sHACKFORD

San Francisco, June 12 - (U.Po Little nation opposition to big power veto rights in the World Se- curity Council dwindled today as the Big Five confidently sought an early vote on this last major issue at the United Nations Conference.
 The committee on the Yalta vot- ing formula scheduled two meetings today in an effort to complete de- bate and begin voting on amend mentS.
 Only six little nations have spoken against the voting formula during two days of debate. Others will speak today. But the big powers are confident of mastering the neces- sary two-third majority for writing the formula into the charter.
 The conference itself. meanwhile, virtually leaped toward adjourn ment. Another commission will hold a public meeting today to approve the section of the charter which will provide the new leagues teeth - the chapter on enforcement ar- arrangements and military agree ments for providing the security council with armed forces when needed.
 That charter is designed to pre- parethe organization for armed intervention to keep the peace. An- other chapter - designed to eradi- cate some of the economic and so- cial causes of war - was tentatively approved by a commission yester- day. It would create an information al council to promote solution of economic and social problems.
 Several other committees are ready to report to their parent com- missions, the one on regional ar engagements having approved its re- bort late yesterday. Conference off, rials are leaving no stone unturned In their effort to complete the work here by June 20.
 The Big Five met late yesterday Tor one of their last meetings in the Mob Hill Apartment of Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. They agreed to oppose mention in the charter of the right of with drawal of a member from the or

Ottawa, June 12.-(UP)-PTime Minister w. L. Mckenzie Kings wartime government was back in power today, but its parliamentary strength was weakened slightly by opposition gains.
 Two of Kings ministers were de- nied seats in the house of com mons by voters in their home dis tricts in yesterdays national elec- tions.
 His liberal party, however, man. aged to keep a majority in com- mons despite bitter opposition at tacks on it's conduct of Canadas part in the war. The Progressive- Conservatives strengthened their po- sition only slightly and the coopera- tive commonwealth federation, which made strong Socialist over lures, picked up only 13 additional seats.
 Early today Kings party, which controlled 155 Of the 245 seats in the last parliament, had won 123 in the new parliament-a ma ajority- and was leading in four others.
 The PS's had elected 60 members 20 more than they had before and were leading in six other rid ings- The CCF elected g, and were leading in five others. The miner parties shared g seats, the Social Credit party winning l3 Independent 6, Labor-Progressive l, Bloc Populaire 2. Independent Pro- gressive Conservative l and Canada party 1.
 Defense Minister Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, main target of the Progressive Conservative party's at tacks on Kings conscription pou- cies, was defeated in his bid for a parliament seat from his home dis trict of Qu'Appelle at Indian Head, Sask
 D. Laurence Molaren, minister of national revenue. lost his bid for re- election from Saint John Albert, N. B.. riding to Progressive Con- servative D. K. Hazen.
 The voting was seen as a clear cut victory for Kings wartime man. power policy and his administra- tion's policy of limited participation in the Pacific war
 The Conservatives bitterly criticiz- ed the governments plan to use only volunteer troops against Japan. During the European war they charged that the government prac- ticed favoritism by failing to apply conscriptions impartially to French Canadians.
 Ire voters endorsed the Liberal party's domestic social reform -so- cial-security policy and gave King
